THOSE WHO COME
 INTO YOUR HEARTS

''No one coul tell, for nobody knew, Why love was made to gladden. few. And hearts that would forever be
 true,
 Go lone and starved a whole world
 through"
 What is the use of saying that peo- pie have not their ideals?
 They have. Single people from six teen to sixty look curiously at new faces wondering whether each new conner may be the one that will make the long-looked-for appeal.
 But whoever found the person that was the exact counterpart Of his ideal? It is almost always the one about whom we are thinking the least who skips into our hearts, and lodges there firmly. The man whose ideal has been a beautiful woman finds he is destined to love one whose charms lay in her sweet and sympathetic dis position, her face being plain with nothing about it which would attract a beauty lover only. No one has ever given me satisfactory reply as to what attracts love between a man and woman of widely different na- lures, hopes, aspirations, mannerisms, habits and taste. Aye, and what subtle force holds such natures bound together after they meet? What causes each to read 1ffe's meaning in the others eyes? It is the wonderful magnetism of loves as we understand it. If any one can give a concise des- criptiop, let's hear it.
 Every heart has it's own golden chord to be touched. It is destined that the many shall miss it, and but ,,T> which vfbrates through it, and awak- ems a sense of wanting, which is only 'appeased by the joining of the heart it craves to it's own.
 Men cannot go out and purchase real love in the open market. A man cannot say: "I will love only a cer- tain kind of woman. She must have brains and synipathy.f There are ten chances to one that the woman who comes to. the heart has not one of these Vaccinations. There is a, mys- tifyfng something about her person ality which he could not resist and would not if he could. He is equally satisfied whether she be a brilliant conversationa1ist with a mind as alert as his own, or unable to carry. on conversation without becoming hope lessly entangled in expressing her meanings. lie understands. That Suf- f1ces. Her very inability is link that binds her the more strongly to nm. No matter who or what a .wo-s man is or has been if she awakens love in a mans heart that does make up for all the rest. Love levels all barriers. It does not have to knock twice at the same door. Yet this wonderful love, so mighty and so strong, is amazingly fragile People wonder why some loves last a life time, while others die in the bud. Again, say, no one can tell why this should be so unless it be that that

Yosemite's Waterwheels Will Be Accessible
 Soon to the Public

This season will see the opening to the public of an American water specta,- cle of such extraordinary novelty and beauty that its eventual world-wide celebrity seems an easy prophecy. The Waterwheel Falls of the Yosemite Ma tional Park have probably been seen by less than a thousand persons all told. since their discovery by white men; no doubt they were a familiar sightto the Indians of early days who considered the Tuo1umne Canyon one Of the safest of their Businesses.
 The Tuolumne River Is one Of the finest of the many trout-haunted streams which flow from the snowy hollows of the High Sierra It sings and roars by turns it's sinuous way from the high places down into and through the celebrated Hetch Hetchy Valley to rest eventually in the Pa cif1c Its rush of several thousand feet into the depths of Hetch ,Hetchy, which valley. by the way, it's waters originally carved in the living granite, constitutes one of the most remarka- ble spectacles in the remarkable Sierra
 The, Tuolumne Canyon here is wild beyond description. The rivers bed slants sharply for several miles. Rush ing with gathering power the stream leaps over precipices and foams down long. sharply tilted granite slopes. Here are found the Waterwheels. The swift current, striking rocky projec- tions lying across the granite slopes, rises 50 feet in air and describes long sweeping arcs of foam before again joining the rushing river. The specta- cle Is one that fills the beholder no less with astonishment than with en- thusiastic admiration! The larger Waterwheels are extremely Impress i've.
 The reason so few persons have seen the Waterwheels is that the pass age down the Tuolumne Canyon is one of extreme difficulty. The hardy campers of the Sierra club, who for years have maintained camp at Soda Springs in the Tuolumne Meadows, have been their principal visitors; 1t is they who have made known their unique beauty to the world. One mo- ton picture only has been made of them.
 Last year the Department of the In- terior built trail over the w2htv Cascades in the Tuoiumne Canyon as far as the top of the Waterwheel Falls. Here( the funds were exhausted, leav- ing the most, strenuous part or the climb without a trail. The completion of the trail past the Waterwheels and through the entire canyon to the Hetch Hetchy Valley will be attempt- ed this season.

PUBLIC OPINION
To Editor of The Farmer:

To Editor of The Farmer:
 < You will perform a patriotic ser vice to the country by giving publicity to the facts contained in this letter, with or without credit to the Worlds Work. They are based upon an article in the June issue of the magazine. en- titled, tGermany's Long Road to De- mocracy.''
 Despatches have been appearing in the daily papers recently, reporting tation, the German government has indicated it's intention to submit to the reorganization of the system of districting the Reichstag elections. And the despatches add: .This would meet one of the most widely urged de- mands for reform and give Germany a more adequate representation in Parliament, as members of which are still elected on the basis of the pop ulation of 1870.'
 Unless one keeps in mind exactly what this means, these despatches, and particularly the reference to the "reform," are likely to confuse the gerat issue of the present conflict: the battle of democracy against autoc- racy.
 It is true that the present system of election of representatives to the Reichstag is antiquated:' it provides for the election of one member for each 10000 On this basis. Berlin, which had a population of 600,000 in 1869, had six representatives. Today Berlin has a population of more than 2,00O, 900, yet it still has only six representatives in the Reichstag. The same situation prevails in all the cities of the old North German Confedera- ton. Why the ruling powers have never reapportioned the represents ton so as to give the cities their due is that these cities are the centres of liberal thought and political reform. and especially of Socialism, and their enfranchisement might endanger the present autocratic regime.
 But the fact remains that no sys- tenn of reapportionment of representa- lives to the Reichstag will essentially affect the power-or rather the lack of power-of that body. And for this reason:
 The Bundersrath, or upper chamber of the German Parliament, practically controls the German Empire. It is a council of delegates of the princes of the various German states and free cities. The rulers not only send these delegates, but instruct them as to how they are to vote. Each delega- ton votes in a mass; in the Bundles rath the "unit rule' prevails. To split a vote would violate the constitution; and if only a single delegate from a state is present, he casts the entire vote for that state and always in ac- cordance with instructions he has re- ceived from home.
 The power of the Bundersath is astonishing All taxing bills originate in that body Constitutionally, the Reichstag has the right to initiate leg is1ation, but itsis a right which it does

which did not weather the storms Of life was not real love, but a counter felt of it.
 Every man and woman is certainly capable of one grand love in a life time. It is those who do not read their own hearts alright who make mistakes. I ar1 asked in scores Of letters daily tn. question; Should those hearts that make the mutual discovery that they are not suited to each other cling to one another in unhappiness? How could such a query be answered by "Yes'' or ''No." :" Each heart affair differs and there fore is a law unto itself. There arises in such a situation the question of children, perhaps. Another wife might love so well it would be like tearing the living, beating heart from her bosom to break the bonds that united her to her earthly idol In the case of the wife who has children about her, judgment would proclaim: : there is a. duty higher than Iove-tne vital interest and happiness of the family-that should be gravely con- sidered. A woman would sacrifice her inclination to break away for the sake of the many who would be harmed by such an action. In the case of the elderly wife she often clings to a spar that has grown rot ten. It is only a question of time when it will break from her grasp al- together. What use to cling to it longer? She who loves in her youth and is not loved in return should see the uselessness of trying to bar loves cake after the bird that was caught therein has taken wing. To love and not to be loved is time lost. A 'satis- fled love fills the heart with the greatest happiness it can know.

WAR ON THE WOUNDED!

Face to face with the spectre of de- feat, Germany prepares to commit crimes for which history affords no parallel:
 The British Foreign Office makes the following announcement:
 The German government an nounce that they have conclusive proof that in several instances ene- my hospital ships have often been misused for the transport of muni- tions and troops. They also state that they have placed these proofs through diplomatic channels before the British and French government and have at the same time decla, ess that the traffic of hospital ships on the military routes for. the forces fighting in France and Belgium with in a line drawn between Flambor- ough Head and Terschelling, on the one hand, and from Ushant to Bands End on the other, will no longer be tolerated.
 His Majesty's government have re- ceived no such communication, through diplomatic channels or oth- erwise, from the German government as is alleged and they most emphati- cally deny that British hospital ships have been used for the transport of munitions and troops, or in any way contrary to the Hague Convention for the adaptation of the principles of the Geneva Convention to maritime war.
 Under the Convention belligerents have the right to search hospital ships and the German government have therefore an obvious remedy in case of suspicion, g. remedy which they have never utilized.
 From the German government S statement that hospital ships will no longer be tolerated within the limits mentioned only one conclusion can be drawn, namely, tLat it is the intention of the German government to add yet another and more unspeakable crime against law and humanity to the long list which disgraces their record.
 In these circumstances, His Majes- tvs government have requested the United States government to inform the German government that His Majesty's government have decided that if the threat is carried out re- prisals will inpm ediately be taken by the British authorities concerned.

not use to much purpose Practically all legislation is initiated in the upper chamber. Furthermore, the Bunders- rath has the power of vetoing any measure passed by the Reichstag Fourteen votes in the Bundersath can defeat Sany proposed amendment to the constitution: the Kaiser, as King of Prussia, controls 20 votes. That is, Wilhelm II dominates the Bundles rath and therefore the entire German Empire.
 It is, apparent. therefore, that no amount of reform in the apportion- ment of representatives to the Reich stag can enable that body to register the will of the people of ermany
 In presenting these facts to the American public immediately, every newspaper editor will serve the coun- try by exposing the pretensions to democratic reform which the German government has been making, appar- ently for the purpose of deceiving public opinion in the United. States.

SHE LOVES WIDOWER WITH EIGHT CHILDREN

A. D. A. writes: I am girl of twenty-six and love man of forty one, a widower, who boards at the same place. He has eight children. He has a good position with a fine salary and is the kindest man I ever met. He is a perfect gentleman as friends who have known him for years say and he is well educated. If I encourage him he may make love to me. I hear he admires another girl who does not care for him. We are of the some religion. Would be right in encouraging him? We have known each other for six months
 As all your friends speak highly of him he must be worthy as a true gentleman. If you encourage him and accept a proposal consider the fact that you must get along with his children. If all these considerations turn out we'll they make for happi- ness and love-.

Corn Meal and Water
 Not a Preservative

There is no corn meal and water preservative for vegetables. A report to this effect recentlE published. and credited to. the United States Depart ment of Agricultures probably origi- mated from the fact that mixture of corn meal and water had been used by, a department specialist to start the lactic-acid ferment in cull potatoes put up for feed in the form of si1age. This starter has been used in the case of vegetables, fermented for food but it is not the preserving ferment. the specialists. explain; it only starts this ferment. It is not recommended for household use. however. The same purpose better served, as recently announced in connection with the fer mentation process of preserving vege- tables for food, by the addition of a small amount of vinegar which keeps injurious bacteria down while the natural lactic-acid ferment starts.

yards, spur tracks can be quickly laid on a slight grade, and beside them storenouses can be built in short or der.
 Another part of the work of con- structlon that can be quickly accom- pHshed IS putting water into the camp. Aver has a fine water supply, oer1ved-from driven wells; but in case IL IS considered expedient an indepen- dent supply for the camp could be obtained from Hell Pond, in Harvard. at the southern limit of the camp site.
 Electric lights can also be easily introduced from Ayers generating equipment.
 With these essentials to speedy con- struction and equipment the people or Aver expect to see the camp come into being very rapidly once Uncle Sam puts his name to the papers talk. ing over the land.

September, 1862 Mustered Out, September, 1868 The 53d was recruited as a nine- months regiment, though 1t was des- tined to serve a year.
