ARRANGED MARRIAGES.

True love bond no mortal hand can
 make,
 No mortal power can ever break; What words or vows could never O. No words or vows can make untrue; And if to other hearts unknown The dearer and the more our own, Because too sacred and divine
 For other eyes, save thine and mine.
 There's quite an agitation in Europe over the question of arranging mar riages with the naimed and helpless soldiers and strong healthy women in the opening bud of health and strength Their plea is that because the soldiers have escaped death, they should not be denied the comforts of home. the joy of wife's love and chiiIren to care for them in old age.
 The sentiment is tender and ap- ppeaIing, but can a woman let the p1ty of a moment obscure her vision or looking into the future? Is duty greater than pity, or may it not be a notch or two below it2 The helpless man has our deep commiseration. But pity is a quality which may not last aong It is not true hat it always be- gets love-.
 The young girl en ering into woman hood craves love. To be welded to a man for whom she has only pity is 9 sacrifice she should not be encouraged -co make, without long and earnest de- liberation. She must be the one at the fore, the support of the family. Hard ships have, in many instances, not been known to strengthen love. Rath- CT Nto lessen it, through dfscontent Marriage under such circumstances may stretch loves elastic chain almost to the breaking point.
 The home is one of unhappiness Children born of div hearts bear 4I,< ,94 ures. Thus it may be seen that the girl too young should not marry for pity only.
 On the other hand, the case may as- sume a different aspect to the single woman of mature -rrs. Youth and early love dreams she has left behind her. Romance has been given away to asordid reality The loneliness of the helpless man touches a chord in her heart. ' The bond of being isolated draws them together in sympathy that is as deep -as love itself with them and every whit as solemn.
 It is in one sense a phase of love, with reverence as it's root. IThey are harmonious to each other. They soon become necessary to one anOther's happiness. It may be a small family which God gives to bless their home, but the children will be wise, tender and loving beyond their years of un- derstanding The marriage of true sympathy differs greatly from the marriage of pity. The former endures the ravages Of time. Its links become stronger with the years Pity wears away if interest wanes.
 The woman of mature Judgment does not need to have marriage arranged for herr She is able to look the conse- quences of marriage fully in the face, and decide that all important subject full- for herself That the middle a<J ,T~1 helpless manhood-War heroes-should go without saying.

SERIOUS DISEASE or PINES

The alarming character of the white pine blister rust and the economic loss which it treatens in the North heastern and w estern United States are sharp Iy emphasized by four recent serious outbreaks on pine trees and currant 1 YorkS says the United States Depart
 nent of Agriculture. This disease was Introduced on imported white pine nursery stock and first appeared at Geneva, New York. in 906.
 In 1909 extensive impertations of diseased white pine nursery stock were locafed and destroyed in New York ings we're issued broadcast against further importation of white pine from Europe In spite of these warn ings importation continued even from the particular nursery in Germany which was definitely known to be the main source of disease, until finally in 1912 all such Importation was stop ped by Federal action.
 The white pine blister rust affects the eastern white pine the western white pine. the sugar pine and in- deed all of the so-called five lear pines, producing capkers on the stems and branches, killing young trees and
 nafming and disfiguring old ones. < It also produces a. leaf disease of currant anG B0OS0b6Try8 puSH6s. Iu6 IunBua causing the disease must live for a part of it's life on pine trees and part of it's life on entrants and gooseber- ries. The disease can not spread from one pine tree to another, but must pass first to currant bushes and then back to pine.
 In Europe the disease has made the culture of American white pine i'm practicable in EngIand Denmark, and Ikr ped it's cultivation in Germany, Since the trees which it attacks include three of the most Important timber trees of United States. the loss which this dis ease will produce is unchecked is very grea FortdnaSely, the disease is not now known to be present west of Buff falo, New York, but if it is not check ed in the Eastern States it's ultimate spread to the vast ferests of the Rocky M curtains and the Pacific Coast is certain. The disease now occurs in three localities in New Hampshire, two in Yer1nent, ten in Massachusetts, two in Connexions, five in New York, one in Pennsylvania and three in Ontario, Canada.
 The disease could be controlled now by the destruction of the diseased white pines OF the complete destruc- ton of all cIirrant and gooseberry bushes in the vicinity of infected pine trees. Whether or not this simple action can be accomplished depends upon the legal authority possessed by the various State HoFtieulturaI Inspectors concerned. If the in- spoctor is not armed with authority to destroy either c1rrant bushes or. the diseased white pines without the consent of the owner, all efforts at control will be unavaiIing. as a, single person by permitting diseased pines. or currents to remain on his place can nullify the work of an entire com nlunity-
