ALL AIRCRAFT OUTRIVALED
Ancient Bird, the PterodactyI, Had
Twenty-Five Fast Wings, Weighed
About Twenty-Five Pounds.

Whence do the angels derive their
wings-the angels, that is to say. OF
painting and sculptural art? From
what source IS the accepted model f0r
these appendages derived?
It is rather difficult to say, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But apparently the wings convention
ally worn by angels are those of the
albatross. At all events, albatross
wings correspond most nearly to the
patterns.
The albatrOss weighs about 18
pounds and has wing spread of 111a
feet. Each Of its wings has an area Of
seven square feet. With wing spread
proportionate to size, an angel as well
equipped for flight as the albatross
ought to be able to fly very well.
The trumpeter swan, which is the
greatest weight-carrier of all long-dis-
tance flyers, would be at disadvan-
tage as compared with an angel. 1t
weighs % pounds and has a wing
spread of only eight feet.
But no angel or modern bird could
compare as a flyer with the ptero-
dactyl of 100000 years or so ago,
which, weighing perhaps 25 pounds,
had a wing spread of 25 feet. Its
bones were almost paperlike and its
body hardly more than an appendage
to it's wings. With head that was
principally a daggerlike beak, and a
pouch like that Of pelican, it fut-
tered mothlike Cooking for ,ish) along

of pterodactyl) our modern flying ma

Optimism HeipS Some.

Happy is the man or woman who can
lay aside the cares and sorrows Of the
rushed and crowded today and revisit
the scenes of yesterday. Happy, too,
is the man or woman who lives in the
tomorrow; that tomorrow where all Is
fair and bright; that tomorrow in
which we are going to do noble and
helpful deeds, and to win fame and for
tune; that tomorrow IN which we are
going to move the world million miles
nearer to heaven, making it better
place for our fellowmen in which to
live; that glorious tomorrow in which
our dreams are to- come true If pray
ers and conscientious efforts count for
aught in bringing them to pass. Don't
give up your dreams. Don't deny your
self this bit of happiness, for each
beautiful, inspiring dream mellows
your heart and widens your mental

whv swaoaer Sticks Are Used.

The use Of "swagger stick" much
in evidence lately among the boys IN.
khaki, has been misunderstood in the.
United States. In Canada recruits st
any time during the last three years
have, in certain stages Of their train
ing, almost invariably carried these lit
tie canes when off duty, not through
affection or vanity, but simply because
the use Of them prevented the young
soldiers from slipping their rigaaI
hands into their trousers pockets. Thes
finished soldier would not think OF put
ting his hand in his pockets, but thei
soldier in the making is likely, unlessI
constantly on his guard, to be guilty OF
this breach of the rules. The Cana
dian youths who jauntiiy and gayty
swung swagger sticks at ValcartieS
Quebec and Aldershot, Nova Scotia |
even one short year ago, have anee
become the heroes Of Vimy Ridge ana
Hill No. 20.

HAPPINESS INDUCES OLD AGE
Human Body Demands Enjoyment,
and Like Rose, Will Not Thrive
in Shadow.

A woman has declared that at one
hundred and six she is in better health
and happier than at any previous time
in her life, according to the Christian
Herald.
Surely woman who is healthy at
one hundred and six ought to be happy.
She would have to be happy to be
healthy.
None but a happy disposition could
carry one through so many years. A
gloomy temperament would strangle
life out Of the body long before the age
of one hundred and six.
The human body can no more thrive
in shadow than can rose.
We live by desire to live. Enjoy
ment of and zest in life are a constant
source Of life supply.
Old age ought to be the happiest
period Of life, particularly for wom-
an. If she has kept her mind active
and has wisely refused to settle into
the dull rut that people always have
ready for-her, she can begin in old age
to enjoy life in earnest.
In old age there Is no more worry
about the babies, no more suffering for
others. The children are grown up,
and, if her part has been well done,
they are prop and a solace to her.
Grandchildren are a delight without
the bitter, constant worry.
The woman grown old in years
should be at her best mentally. She is
free to indulge her tastes, enjoy good
book and the conversation Of genial
minds.
Women retain their vitality and spir-
it's longer than men do. The burdens
of life fall from them gradually, and
the peace of retirement from active du-
ties comes upon them little by little
and almost imperceptibly.

some proportion of their wealth IN

ents and employers, both by example

honest, and the daily papers will not

SENATOR BAMKHEAD
CARRIES "BlG STICK"

Washington. - Senator Bank
head of Alabama startled his
colleagues by stalking into the
chamber just before the recent
adjournment with the aid of a
hickory stick six feet long. The
senator is no lightweight and he
towers over the average man,
but a prop so entirely out Of all
accepted proportions caused
comment.
Senator Knox's curiosity was
such that he demanded an ex-
PLANTATION.
''It's the stoutest bit Of wood
ever cut in Virginia." said the
owner.
"Quite a good deal of it" OBJ
served the Pennsylvania senator.
do you know that if that stick
were cut in two, and one of the
parts had a nice silver head on
it, it would make a most appro-
pirate gift for a friend?"
"Not on your life" responded
the gentleman from Alabama,
quick to reject the hint. 'This
was sent to me by a friend. am
going to take it down home If
you fellows ever get through
wind-jamming here and adjourn.
It will be just the thing for me
to use when / 60 prowling

the neighbor's, she started with her

WE'D, COURT LATER
Armenians Choose Girl First
Take Chance on Love.
American Principal Of School In Tur.
key Receives Letter Requesting
Any One Of Three.

Armenian marriages are always ar
ranged, the question of love not en-
tering, writes Hester Donaldson Jenk-
ins in World Outlook. remember
when the principal Of an American
school said to one Of her teachers
who was contemplating matrimony:
II hate to have you 60, but should
not mind so much if you loved him."
that the Armenian drew herself up
Indignantly; she would not be so un-
maidenly as to love man before mar
riage.
An Armenian man generally picks
out his own wife, one whom he has
seen and approved. But he does not
court her; instead he goes to her pa
rents and makes very careful inquiries
as to her health, disposition and
housewifery, after which he bargains
keenly for her DIT. Without q dot
an Armenian girl may scarcely marry.
The American principal Of school
for Armenian girls in Turkey received
a great many applications for wives
from the Armenian men of the neigh
borhood. Once she received a letter
which read something like this:
"Your NobleneSs.
"Mademoiselle: I wish to marry
one of the girls in your school. VIII
you get me little Aznif, her Of the
curly braids and strong eyebrows? Or
If you cannot obtain her for me, then
[ will take Marian, with the big, black
eyes and the shining teeth; or II ]
cannot have her, I wish zarroohee
with the straight features and white
skin. But do not offer me any other,
for love only these three"
In the same school occurred the
unique experience of Schnorrig. Dix
ran had come to her father and bar
gained for her. When she was told
of her impending marriage she was
sulky and sad, for she had read Eng
lish books and did not wish to be
sold to husband like bale Of rugs.
