Infancy Of the Candle.

The primitive candle of England
was a rush soaked in melted fat. In
Mongolia and India a mass of grease
was burned on the end of a splint or
stick. BY these steps 1t Is seen that
man was beginning to apply his In
genuity. after having found that lights
could be had, and to realize their
value. In England a plan was evolved
whereby a cord saturated with wax or
fat was coiled about a vertical stick
which also supported an iron holder
for the end of the wicklike cord.
Dipped candles with q cotton wick
soon put In their appearance in the
United States. followed by nodded can
dies. Some recent examples Of mold
ed candles OF stearine, parafin and
wax are shown In museum collections.

VOICES OF SINGING PIGEONS
Properly Trained Birds Give utteranee
TO Sounds That Are Soft
and Melodious.

Singing pigeons originally were
found in Palestine. and they were
later bred in India, the native a
jahs being enthusiastic pig~eon-breed-
ers, expanding fortunes on their dove
cotes.
The singing pigeons weighs about
the same as an African owl, and Is
similar In build, except hat 1t may
be a trife fuller at the throat. In
color these pigeons are usually red,
notified, or checkered. though they
are sometimes found of a blush color.
Their voice battles all description,
being tremulous and broken, with
gurgling notes, like the noise Of wa
ter poured from a bottle. The utter
ance is varied, and, though there is a
resemblance at times to the drum
ming of a true trumpeter, II is not so
sonorous. 1t Is frequently interrupted
by one or more Of the respiratory
"ahs," which, no doubt, gives them
the name Of laughers. Their cooling is
soft and melodious, and both sexes
take part In the song.

Well Called athe Great"

Alfred the Great occupies a similar
place In English history to that held
by C~hariemagne In Germany and
France. More than any other monarch
who has v e governed In England he
the name of "the great" He
united England; he broke down the
menace of the pagan invasions Of the
vikings; he encouraged learning. Like
Washington, Alfred was as notable for
his achievements In peace al for his
victories In war. In many ways in
deed, Alfred reminds the student Of
Washington, q man who stands out
above all other men Of lis W age
or Of the generations that Immediately
preceded or followed. Alfred had as
much ability as had Charlemagne and
the same love for culture. His career
was. moreover. free from the crimes
that have to be set down to the dis
credit of Charlemagne.

NO NEED TO PITY FARMER
A~oricuIturist Is in a Number OF ways

The great compensation Of living on
an American farm. with its diversified

Yields for the family, even when the
cash return per farm is comparatively
small, the Milwaukee Journal observes.
Missouri is a state with an active, pro
gressive college Of agriculture. yet the
latest investigation from varied sec
lions of the state showed that the
farmer, after making 5 per cent inter
est on his investment, had on the aV-
erage only 1922 a year as the return
for his labor.
II is significant that so per cent OF
the farmers investigated were getting
less than $500 a year for their time

for a farmer and his entire family &c
work all year at the rate Of SIS a
month.
The average city laborer. however,
has no capital from which he is draw
Ing returns, while the average farmer,
according to this tabulation, has sew
eral thousand dollars worth Of farm
property that is earning 5 per cent.
The farmer has therefore engaged in
an occupation which permits Of the
accumulation of some capital. In
addition he has raised most of his liy-
ing so that his cash returns can to a
large extent be saved or applied to
outstanding debts, thereby still further
increasing his capital.
The net returns show a house, a liv-
ing assured and some accumulation of
capital for the country. while the city
usually gives only a rented house, a
precarious living with prices soaring
and little or no savings. The farmer
still excels his city brother in fnan-
cial resources. In reliability Of his
source Of income, and in financial In
dependence.

Pointing to the Sun.

Among the countless temples OF
Egypt there are a few. and a OF
them the most magnificent of all, the
temple of Amen-Rra at Karnak, that
seem to be related to the sun.
Any temple In the latitude Of
Thebes that points within 26 degrees
of east or west will catch along Its
axis the rays of the rising or the
setting sun on one day or another Of
the year; but these temples have a
special orlentation.
They point to the sur at the SOL
stices, at midsummer or midwinter,
the days when the sun rises and sets
farther north or south than at any
other time Of the year. !

WHAT SONGS WILL
CATCH ARMY'S EAR?
War Melodies of Past Have
Been More Rhythmic in Tune
Than Sentimental.

From those trying days OF more
than half a century ago, when the
boys in Alue tramped over wagon roads
to the strains of "Tenting Tonight
on the Old Camp Ground" to those
when the boys in khaki trod the alkali
trails of Northern. Mexico, soldiers
have lifted songs on many fields and
in all climes. The American trooper.
however, almost always has entered
into a campaign with one or more
songs peculiar to his service.
Not always have these ballads had
reference to the grim business in
hand. In fact, most of them, so Tar
as the immediate objective was con-
cerned. had, like the flowers that
bloom in the spring" nothing what
ever to do with the case.
That Needed Last Line.
Perhaps that is why the bluejackets
marines and soldiers IN Vera Cruz
took up their positions to the strains
of Here, Here, the Gangs All Here"
which Is never complete until the
singers come to the chorused line,
What the hell do we carer That
ditty was resurrected, without change
in meter or sentiment, by the troops
of Brigadier General Pershing's COM
mand in Chihuahua last year.
The punitive" troops also favored
another chant. which has a bugle
call for tune and In which the singers
announce to their comrades that
You're in the army now; you're In
the army now" There is little else to
the piece save a side remark that the
one addressed will never accumulate
wealth because of his service.
1t IL noteworthy also that q song
which subsequently was mentioned as
most popular in the trench lines held
by the British in France and Flanders
was sung by GENERAL Pershings men
In Mexico.
More Rhythm Than Sentiment.
The lines are more rhythmic than
sentimental and are as follows:
The bells of hell ring ting-a-ling-a-
ling for you, but not for me.
I'm going where the angels sing-a-
ling-a-ling.
]. That's where long to be.
o Death. where Is thy stlng-a-ling-a-
ling.
o grave thy victoree?
No ripg-a-ling-a-ling,
No EtIng-a-ling-a-ling.
But sing-a-ling-a-ling for me-"
The music, lovers Of the army, the
navy and the marine corps are now
waiting with some expectancy and not
a little apprehension for a song that
the present war will develop among
Uncle Sans fighting nephews- Will
