Much Fresh Air Is Needed.

Trouble brings on heart conditions
and lung etficulties, 1t is said, because
there is then a lack of fresh air taken
into the lungs and the breathing is
never deep enough. Therefore, to
make it a habit to breathe deeply,
whether one feels like it or not, is one
Of the best remedies for the difficulty
In hand, whatever it may be. Again,
not only must past blessings be inven-
toried but hope must be held out,
which will give one goal to work for.
No one man or woman can live with
out this aim in life. The joys or
favors in hand must be remembered,
to be sure, but there must also be
something ahead in view or there Is a
resigned state of mind which is ,un-
healthy.

The Modern Gentleman.

With the decay of the ceremonial
element in life, the gentleman has
lost some OF his prestige, had nearly
said some of his importance; and yet
his part is the more difficult to play
1t is hard to preserve the figures of a
dance when so many of our partners
dance at random. 1t is easy to be q
gentleman in a very stiff society,
where much of our action is pre-
scrined it is hard, indeed. in very
free society, where (as it seems) al
moss any word or act must come by
inspiration. The rehearsed piece is
at an end, we are now foundering
through an impromptu cherade.-Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson.

Why Stones Cannot Burn Like Co:

Why Stones Cannot Burn Like Coal.
Stones cannot burn for the simple
reason that they are dead matter
which has been burned out. When
anything burns it takes into it's sys-
tenn all the oxygen Of the air that it
this it cannot be burned any more. In
burning any substance changes it's
character. The original element Of
most of the rocks and stones we see
was silicon, and when that combined
with oxygen. the result is a form of
rock, concrete substance, but I'M
burnable.

How Nature Protects Orchids.

Orchids are the most skilled of all
plants in the art of stimulation. They
choose for imitation some insect bird
or animal free from danger Some or
chids initiate poisonous, spiders. The
fly orchid and the bee orchid are ex-
amples which initiate so skillfully that
trained scientists are often ut fault
in detecting the deception. These or
chids resemble clusters of bees or flies
resting on dry twig.

APPEALS TO FARMERS.
English Food Expert Asks English Soil Toilcrs to Keep Busily Engaged

London. April 9.---In an effort to stir the English farmers and workers on the land to a realization of the danger of starvation that, he says, threatens the country, Sir Arthur Leo, director general of food production, new department created as a result of the intensified submarine eam-. paign, has issued this appeal
 ''To all ploughmen and workers on the land: In the trenches German shells come over on Sundays as we'll as on weekdays. German subma- rines are just as active on Sundays as on any other day. The enemy takes no holidays. He uses every hour to destroy your country and kill your brothersi
 twill you not work every hour kfrom daybreak to dark-weekday and Sunday-for the next few weeks? Your work now may make just the difference between winning the war and losing it.''
 Sir Arthurs appeal speaks volumes for tho seriousness of the food situa- tion in England. we have got to do our maximum amount of planting by the end of April.' he said. ,"We have got to work Sundays and holidays or our crop will not be a success. It Is our best answer to the submarine menace and the sooner the people realize it the sooner will they conquer the danger of starvation"
 Sir Arthur is making stupendous efforts to carry out his program of tilling the soil and planting. all the. seed possible by the end of April.

 more than 17,000 miles. He explains
 that nearly every ship of the Imperial
 navy has been engaged at one time
 or another. and that more than 5T.-{ 900 officers and men have participated.
 The vice-admiral adds: "lt has
 been no small satisfaction to Japan
 and to the Imperial navy to find that
 the people of Australia and Canada
 as we'll as Great Britain have fully ap-s preciated Japan's sympathy and as-
 sistance and that they recognize her
 faithful adherence to the terms of tho
 alliance and it is our earnest hope that the new relations will do something to
 change the adverse attitude ct the colonies towards Japanese i!nnli- grants"
