desire this hideous war or wish that
we should be drawn into it; and we
are vaguely conscious that we are

How Efficiency Works.

The manager of large eastern fac
tory has been quoted as saying:
1.-THE benefits from scientific manage
nent derived by our employees in the
making of paper and paper boxes-and
we have been working under It only
two and one-half years-are: Average
increase in wages, Is per cent; reduc-
ton in working hours, 10 per cent; a
feeling of greater confidence in that
the tasks set by means Of a scientific
study of the work are known by the
employee to be accurate.
"a recent test on machines produc-
ing 81 per cent of our boxes shows the
difference between the time allowed
for two thousand hours of work and
the time actually taken was less thar
three-fourths of an hour.

DOGS TAIL A SAFETY VALVE
Scientific Explanation of Reason for
Wagging With Which We Are All
of Us Familiar.

A dog whips his tail to and fro to ex-
press feelings he cannot put into
words.
1t Is his own code and varies ac-
cording to the message he wishes to
flash on his rearward semaphore. He
has short twitching motion that ex-
presses anxiety and interest, violent
flashing that makes known his enthusi-
assn and affection, a steady whipping
from side to side that spells hunger,
and motionless droop that signals de-
feat and encouragement. Canine ex-
perts have always been able to read
these wigwaggings, but it took science
to explain why the dog used them.
When a dog is pleased and delighted
he must have some outlet for his feel
ings. Just as bashful boy twirls his
cap or twists about in his chair, or
person tickled by some humorous sally
rolls on the floor and holds his sides,
the dog wags his tail. The human
beings in tbs situations described

Get the Habit.

Good cheer is a great lubricant. 1t
oils all of life's machinery. Good cheer
is a great producer. 1t adds wonder
fully to ones active ability and in
creases mental Ind physical power. 1t
makes host Cf friends and helps us to
be interesting and agreeable. Good
cheer will attract more customers, sell
more goods, do more business with less
wear and tear than almost any other
quality. = Optimism is the greatest
businessgetter, biggest trader, truest
achiever in the world. Pessimism has
never done anything but tear down and
destroy what optimism has built up.
In the business office, in society, In
politics, in workshops, everywhere, the
favorite is always the cheerful fellow
with the bright smile and bright
thoughts.

UPSALA CENTER OF SWEDEN
countrys Most Ancient City, and
Vastly Rich in the Nations
History and Tradition.

In all things save the most modern,
Upsala is the center Of Sweden. In
point of education. of religion and of
history and tradition, this little city
overshatlOws Stockholm. 1t is so old
that the old gods themselves are said
to be buried there.
Old tpSala lies mile or two away
from the more modern city; ii is set
upon the very ashes of other times.
Digging in the earth underfOOt brings
TO light the crude implements of
people. our knowledge of whom is little
more than theory, as well as the better
fashioned weapons that the Norsemen
of the early centuries knew how to
WELD so well. There are three great
mounds or barrows still left at old Up
sala, and these are sometimes said to
be the tombs of three of the old gods
of Morse mythology.
The present city of Upsala Is cut In
two by the River Fyris. On the slop-
ing hill to the westward, surrounded
by less important buildings, stand the
greatest cathedral and the greatest uni
Verslty in Sweden. The other half of
the city is given over to modest dwell
ings, but from any vantage point on
the hillside they make pretty sight
with their characteristic northern neat
ness and clean lines.
The life of the town Is strongly col
ored by the university folk. The stu.
dent Is readily recognizable by his
black trimmed white velvet cap; and
he Is everywhere, of course, for he
makes up about tenth of the popu-
latiOn. Your typical Swedish univer-
sity man is an athlete and a sOngster,
especially noted for his fine, full chO-
ruses. The distant singing of dozen
lusty young voices ON moonlight win
ter night Is one of the most character
istic sounds of Upsala, and one Of the
little things encountered here and
there that stick in the memory.
The great brick cathedral Is the other
striking institution of Upsala. Here
lie buried several of Sweden's old war
rior kings, and here, too, is the tomb
of Linnaeus. the father of botany, who
was a professor at the university. Be
fore the tomb Of Linnaeus Is recep-
tacle filled deep with the cards of IA
nous men who have visited his tomb.
Indeed, for long it was something of a
custom for European botanists to visit
Upsala on the anniversary Of the birth
of Linnaeus. There Is something sim
gularly fitting and attractive in this
idea of science making pilgrimages to
the tombs of her prophets.

MADE $4,000
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be a long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many Of
them. a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
Of horses and q cow or two, and Suffl-
Gent money to do them for a few
months, until they got a start. Hun.
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
OF A. e. Merriam, formerly of DEVILS
Lake, N. d. He didn't leave there be-
not success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand.
TO take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
II came to Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from DEVILS Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
II arrived with six head of horses
and two head Of cattle and about
$500. Since then, l have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head Of cattle. and about one hum
dred head Of hogs, a four-rOomed
house, good barn with all modern inn
provements, feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. have In
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, had gross return Of
5000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my specially, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years. now selling for from $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
$27 quarter section yearly.
''The climate here Is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, If con-
tinued year after year, and If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
1 feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"

girls riuer BY the Turks. was uSec
by VoItaire as the scene of his gred
philosophical romance "Zadig," Thu
story told here portrdys Zaatg in
role Strikingly like that played By
Conan DOyle'S "SherlOck Holmes
or POe's N. Dupin' IN modern lit
erature.
In the days of King Moabdur OF
Babylonia there dwelt In the city OF
Babylon rich man named Zadig. Tai
ented, accomplished. handsome and
healthy, he still was unhappy. He had
been disappointed more than once in
friendship and finally most sorely In
love. Convinced that destiny lies In
wait for the ambitious and distin'
guished, he withdrew to simple coun-
try home on the Euphrates river.
Being resolved not to tempt fate, he
looked about for an occupation that
promised the least possible entangle-
ment with the ways Of providence, and
decided upon the study of nature.
One day as he strolled in grove
near his home, a troop of officials and
slaves ran up to him and asked: Have
you seen the queens dog?"
"Was 1t small dOg?" asked Zadig.
'1f so, such a dog has passed here. 1t
slightly with the right forefoot."
Then you have seen it," cried the
leader delighted.
NO" said Zadig. II have not seen
1t. In fact, did not even know until
this moment that the queen owns a
dog"
Before the astOunded man could re-
ply, another party Of officers and serv-
ants appeared, exclaiming breathlessly
that the kings finest horse had strayed.
WAS it bitted with gOld?" asked Ia
dig. "A horse thus bitted, and shod
with silver, galloped through here. 1t
had magnificent stride and gait, and
was of the purest blood. Was not Its
tail at least four and one-half feet
lOng?'
"Yes! Yes!" said the master of
horse eagerly. "In which direction
did it run? Where Is 1t now?"
II have not seen it," answered Ia
dig This is the first time that l
knew the king had such horse"
The men Of both parties stared at
each other for a moment. Then with
out word they pOunced on Zadig
with: "Thief! You shall learn what
It means to trifie with the property Of
your ruler!"
The slaves hustled him to the city
of Babylon, not without presenting him
with many undesired bruises. He was
led at once before the chief council
and charged with having stolen the
dog and the horse of the royal family.
The tale told by the officers was so
that the council did not per-
NIT Zadig to speak, but sentenced him
at once to Imprisonment for life.
Just as he was being led away, beg
ging vainly for leave to say word in
defense. messengers arrived with the
news that the missing animals had
been found. The council perceived the
painful necessity of resembling it's SEN
tence; but it felt justified In filming
Zadig 400 ounces Of gold for asserting
that he had not seen something when
he had already admitted that he had
seen 1t.
Again Zadig asked for permission to
make a trifing explanation, but the
Judges decided after earnest cOnsulta-
ton that the fine must be paid first. |
