ENGLAND FINE PLACE FOR REAL ESTATE MEN
Heavy War Taxation Is Forcing Many Property Holders to Dispose of
 Their Estates.

London, Nov. 19.-England is changing hands because taxes are so high landed proprietors cannot afford 10 own and maintain their estates, &C., cordIng to accommodating evidence of tho past few days.
 The crushing taxation which has resulted from the War;" said the notice sent by the Duke of Rutland to his tenants, "coupled with the great rise in the price of all commodities of labor have placed such burdens on my property as to compel me to largely diminish the size of my es- tate.' The Duke of Rutland sold his Harby estates in the value of Bel voir, much to the regret of his ten ants.
 Brigadier General William Strong of Thorpe Hill, Peterborough, is an- other landed proprietor who is part ing with his property. He explained to the villagers that he regretted to do so, but as onc-thrd of his in come now went in taxation. it was impossible for him to maintain the hall and the estate.
 Property of this class is being bought by the newly-rich who made their fortunes during the war, but in almost every instance each estate is sold to a number of persons rather than being taken by one.

RUSSIA'S HOPE LIES IN ADMIRAL kOLCHAK
British Commander, John Ward,
 Thinks New Leader Can Succeed

London, Nov. 19.-Colonel John Ward who has just returned from Siberia where he commanded a bat talion of British troops which helped to overthrow the Bolsheviki power there, says ''In my opinion the only chance for democracy in Russia lies in the success of kolchak. His at titude on the land question shows that he is not the reactionary he has been represented. He sees clearly that the distribution of big estates among the peasantry cannot be in terfered with.
 Tt is proposed that those land owners who have survived Bolshevism shall be given compensation for the land they have lost but there is no idea of restoring the land to them. kolchak stands up for the poor peasants against what Lenine has been called the village, of bour- geoisie.'
 ''It is found that well-to-do peas- ants had murdered many of the land owners, given a meagre portion of the poorest land to the poor peas ants and joined the bulk of the es- tate to their own holdings. Kolchak with the advice of representatives of the Allies, decided to secure for the poor peasants d fair distribution of the land. When this was known the comparatively wealthy peasants, who had secured the biggest share of the land raised the cry that the old state of affairs was to be restored. In some cases they stirred up the peasants to revolt and caused dis turbances which had to be put dowr by force.
 ITO know what Bo!sh eVism is yon should have. been with me at Perm when the ice on the river was melt ing and the bodies of many who had been murdered by the Bolsheviki were revealed. 1, myself, saw fifty of them and among them were the bodies of number of women and children. At one place there was a wash house built over the river The Bolshevism means the end of democ- through which they dropped their victims into the deep waters beneath. Bolshevis1n means te end of democ- racy. Lam certain that if Russia is left to the Bolsheviki, it will ulti- mately return to it's autocracy.

LlFE'S PARTNER EASILY WON
How Business Of Courtship and Mar.
rage Is Practiced Among Un-
civilized Peoples.

The Azandi, tribe living in the
northeast of the Belgian Congo, sell
wives amazingly cheap. A knife, cost
ing about rs cents, will procure an m
tending bridegroom life's partner.
Another marriage market" thrives in
the mountainous district of the Ma
falees, in New Guinea. The price of
each girl Is one pig, augmented with
dogs teeth necklaces, and so on, ac-
cOrding to the wealth of the girls par
ents. The proposal is usually made by
proxy, the boy sending a female rel
alive to the lady of his choice.
The preliminaries to courtship
among the Mafalees are rather pic
turesque. When young man, wish
ing to marry, goes out to seek his
"ojande" LITERALLY, his flOwer), he will
light a fire on still day, in bush
or in an open space outside his vii
lage, and wait till a slight breeze car
ries the flame or smoke in one direc-
ton or another. He then takes that
point of the compass as an indication
and walks to the next village to find
his FLOWER"

Rat Skins for Leather.

The suggestion has been made that
the rat problem might be best solved
by making use Of the skins Of the
rodents for the purpose of leather.
Somebody with the gift Of guessing
computes that there are 100000 in
this country. and the damage they do
would feed a good-sized army. 1t
would take at least 5000 skins a day
to supply small modern tannery.
Nobody wants the rats, they belong
to anybody that can catch them.
That Is the problem-to catch them.
and then deliver the goods. There Is
not enough leather to go around.
Fish skins are susceptible of tan
ming, and there are rat skins which
make good leather, large enough for
many purposes.

How Novel Shin ls Built.

A most remarkable 9,OOO-ton ship
destined to make but one voyage of
5000 miles, being built in a British
Columbia shipyard, is described and
illustrated in Popular Mechanics Mag
azlne. It's purpose is to carry 100000
feet Of lumber to England; but when
1t arrives at it's destination, instead
Of being unlOaded, it will simply be
taken apart and turned bodily into a
huge lumber pile. For the new vessel
is all cargo, and the cargo forms the
vessel
The method of construction is to lay
down the keel and fore-and-aft cross
timbers, complete skeleton bottom
mount donkey engines on the structure
and then launch that portion of the
vessel. The donkey engines hoist the
heavy timbers aboard for the compile
ton of the ship.

Cure for Poison Ivy.

Mrs. Evelyn S. Trenbath, wife Of the
Rev. Robert w. Trenbath, rector Of St
James's Episcopal church Of Montclair,
N. j., has conferred boon on suffer
ers from poison ivy by announcing a
remedy which those who have tried 1t
say is a most efficacious remedy. 1t
is simply the green leaves Of common
catnip rubbed on the affected parts un-
til the Juice runs.
This never fails, Mrs. Trenbath says,
no matter how advanced the case may
be, and is simple to use, especially in
the case Of children. The plant grows
usually in great abundance behind old
barns, and is said to be so antagonis-
tic to the ivy that If planted near 1t the
Ivy disappears.

HOW UNTUTORED HALF
~ w OF HUMAN BRAIN
CAUSES FOOLISH DREAMS.

CAUSES FOOLlSd DREAMS.
-Manifestly there Is a part Of
your brain that goes on think
ing while you are asleep. Were
this not the case you would
have no dreams. What part?
Nobody knows with certainty.
but there is good reason for be-
lieving that 1t Is the untutored
half of the brain-the right half.
Each one Of us has really two
brains, right and left, just as
we have right leg and left
leg. The left brain does our
thinking for us, while the right
(if we are right handed") Is
uneducated and does almost no
thinking at all. So uneducated
Is 1t that we cannot without
great difficulty use pen or so
simple an instrument as a pair
of scissors with the left hand.
For 1t is the right brain that
controls the muscles of the left
half of the body, and vice versa.
Having almost no work to do,
the right brain needs no rest. 1t
does not get tired, and so stays
awake or at least partly so,
while we sleep. It's thoughts
are what we call dreams.
Your dreams are foolish, be-
cause in sleep your thinking is
being done by the foolish half
of your brain. 1t is simple
minded; at times 1t seems semi
tdiOtic. OF judgment it pos
sesses none at all, nothing being
too absurd or impossible to be
accepted by 1t without criticism.
For example, 1t often happens
that in dream you meet a near
relative or other person who
has been long dead. Are you
surprised to see him or her
walking about and talking?
Not a bit. The foolish brain
thinks In a dull and stupid way.
with no exercise of the reason
Ing faculty. Those parts Of 1t
which have to do with vision
and speech seem to be chiefly
active, judging from the ever
varying motion pictures thrown
upon the screen of the mind dur
ing sleep, and from the constant
talking that accompanies them.
The foolish brain may perhaps
be compared to that Of mon
key, though probably inferior.
1t forms concepts, but cannot
put them together and draw
from them the conclusions
which are the basis Of judg-
ment.

Why Called Leap Year.

Leap year is year which leaps
over, as 1t were, one day more than
an ordinary year; year which con-
tains 1853 days, as distinguished from
an ordinary year. which includes only
1896 days. Every year the number of
which Is divisible by four is a leap
year, except when 1t happens to be
any number of hundreds not dlvisible
by four. Thus 1884 was leap year,
but not 1900, this omission Of leap
years in such centuries being neces-
sary to correct the error which arises
from the excess Of the addition of one
day in four years Il. e., six hours) to
the year over the true length Of the
year, 1. e., 1856 days 5 hours 40 min
utes.

AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES

Wages for wives were turned down
by an audience largely Of women here
the other night after q debate on
whether husbands should be required
to pay such wages. says the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin.
One speaker drew q dismal picture
Of the future of romance with wives
working for wages.
Imagine scene like this" he said:
"Honey. do you love met"
"Of course love you"
"Then will you marry met"
swell. maybe. How much do you
pay?"
Suppose the wives were to join
the soviet of waiters-up and charge
triple wages for waiting up nights for
husbands" he said.
Imagine wife going into society
and being labeled $15-a-week wife. A
woman can take last-year hat and
make 1t look like new. But when she
signed a contract for SIS week there
would be no hiding 1t from the neigh
bors."
Another speaker pleaded that ''wom-
an shall not be brought down from her
pedestal as queen and made a mere
employee Of man." In depicting the
future Of romance under the wage sys-
tenn lie said the marriage ceremony
would have to be revised to read:
with this ring hire thee. and will
pay thee SIS week by the aid Of the
world, the flesh and the devil"
Notices like the following he pre-
dicted would be published:
"Married-John Brown and Mary
Smith. by Rev. Russell FL. Conwell.
They will live In Logan and the wife's
wages will be SIS a week."
Scenes like the following In court
were forecast:
