I Treverton's shoulders Quivered.
Then he made an effort to pull him

sat upright. took the letter out OF

The hard. terrible look in his eyes
softened. Nothing had been told in
the letter. after all. She had kept
his secret. She had only wished TO

white and there were beads Of per-

there motionless, staring at the
closed door Then he turned on his

again. Then he crossed the room to

X CRUEL KISS.

1t is learned on excellent authority that a kiss can be cruel. A judge has declared it, and though the average man probably deems himself as com patent to judge on that particular subject as the ju.ist, still we rather think the latter is right in relation to the facts of the case.
 The judge said the kiss wasn't cruel per SC; or, in other words, prime facie, it is never contrary to the dlc- tates of humanity when the klsseI and kissed are untitled to the kiss.
 But il tho case b1fore the bar, tn, learned judge asseyeratcd, there was no doubt, in the estimation of the court, that this wife, who had to LOOK on while her husband kissed another woman's lips, had been subjected te cruelty.
 It is always the innocent bystandel who gets hurt.

IDLE LANDS

Few persons realize the extent of the idle lands in the United States which could be utilized for agricul- titral Durposes if drained. Siwamps and marsh lands cover altogether too much of our agricultural heritage, and if it is worth while to reclaim deserts and make them bloom like rose, it is equally advantageous ito do something similar ragarding the re- ma!ning swamps.
 Strange as it may seem, some of the northern states are the most fragrant examples of what not to do has 5,S32 1906 acres of swamp land. That something has been done to inn prove conditions, however, is indicat- cd by the fact that 1,50O,OOO acres of reclaimed lands are now in use. Wis oonsin is another state high up in the amount of swamp lands in it, there being 2,400,000 acres, and so far only 100000 acres have been reclaimed. Michigan is worse off than Wisconsin in the amount of swamp lands still remaining in the state, but is better eff in the amount of reclaimed land, ;h3re being 2,947, ,000 acres of swamp and 1,6O0,O0O acres of reclaimed land.
 Iowa shows an improvement over tha, three mentioned, and Illinois and Indiana are still better off Iowa has a39,000 acres of swamp land, and en- EGys tae use of 915,000 acres of re- claimed lard; Illinois has 925,000 acres of swamp land remaining, and i, enjoying the fruits of 3,496,000 acres of reclaimed land, thus putting itself in the forefront; Indiana still has 635 GOO acres of swamp land, wish 3,3SS,000 Reclaimed acres, thus following clcse behind the record Of ,..llinois. The remaining swamp land in Illinois and Indiana is largely due tc the lowlanGs adjacent to the Kan kakee river and the lowlands of the Ohio.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
tpsas..'s;'lla
By s. w. STRAUS Prvsident Ame 7can Soc,ey for THyif

thing to ponder over.
 Waste materials are constantly be- ing imported and exported. Europe uses some of our waste and we usv some of Europe's, the habits and standards of living of tie different
 nations being important factors +, this exchange ~of products.
 The utilization of fish scales in tho production of ornaments, artihcl,l flowers and inlaid work is striking example Of what may be done wit. apparently useless and insignihca. 1t waste products. The process of max ing the fish scales is an interesting one. They are thoroughly cleaned and then gently squeezed through a press to remove moisture, after
 which they become very elastic and
 durable and have the appearance of
 mother of pearl, In the preparation. of liquid known as pearl essence
 the fish scales also are valuable. This
 essence is the brilliant, irridescent
 coating which we see on artificial
 pearls, which makes it almost impos- sible for any but an expert to tell
 when pearl is not a real one. Substitutes for ising1ass, gelatin and
 glue are also made from fish and fsh
 waste. {
 In the v making of meerschauni
 pipes the dust and cuttings formerly
 were wasted. The dust and cuttings
 now are ground up and water is used
 to make a paste and this is boiled u1
 with 1inseed oil and some alum,
 moulded into shape and the. water
 evaporated. E And thus we see how through the
 application of thrift principles many
 products and materials hitherto
 wasted are now being utilized to thu utmost advantage.

In the last ten years Canada has headed the list of nations i'll respect O. increase in the cost of living, large ly due to the rush to the cities at the expense of the land. Up in the Canadian northwest one hears q good deal. more about the growing cities than one do2s about the growing counties; and seemingly everybody Tn those growing cities bought and sold lots.
