had fate been kinder.
The reasons that have governed the
parting of lovers have been many.
Scarcely two are alike. But regret is
quite the same in all cases. EARLY
loves take a deep hold upon the heart.
Others which may follow after are
never quite like it. When two who
have loved well agree because of some
slight misunderstanding to part, it is
a blessing if distance lies between
them. 1t is a never-ending source of
secret grief to one, perhaps both, if
they are obliged to see each other or
meet frequently, living in the same
town, having the same mutual friends
or acquaintance. They may have
thought they could meet cOldly as
strangers. But that could never be.
Hands that have known affections ten
der clasp, eyes that have gaZed fOndly
into eyes that have looked lovingly
back again, hearts that have thrilled
with the presence of the other, can
never be entirely thought Of as those
OF a stranger.

Newer interests elbow out old hopes.
A bachelor upon meeting an old sweet
heart marveled greatly at the lady'S

There are said to be 800 uses for
the palmyra palm, which grows
throughout tropical India.
With care there is timber enough in
the United States to last 444 years,

A number Of date palm trees have
been brought from Africa to Cali

be placed near the left fore-leg, and
if the breeding season is prolonged,
the mark may be placed midway be-
tween the fore-legs. Another scheme
is to change the color of paint every
16 days. If the flock number of each
eve is branded on her sides in large
figures, it is comparatively easy TO
book the freshly marked ewes from
day to day and thus keep a fairly ac-
curate record of the date of breeding.

solve quart of baking soda in a gal
Ion of water and add a quart of quick

brush and in a few minutes all trees
of the old paint may be washed OF in
warm water. The wood should then be

is applied TO remove all the alkah.

London, April 30.-A vigorous at
tempt made in the House of Commons
today failed to persuade the govern
ment to adopt a policy of greater pub
licity with regard to the submarine
warfare. The only satisfaction critics
of the government were able to obtain
was promise that the matter would
be discussed in secret session.
AS the result of considerable heck
ling, Sir Edward Carson, first lord Of
the admiralty, admitted that a larger
number of submarines were operating
and that generally shipping losses were
increasing. He said, however. that ow-
ing to the increase in patrol boats and
the fact that German submarines were
operating in the other directions the
losses to British shipping in the Eng
