IS GREATEST Gift
Happiness Chief Characteristic
of the Ideal Wife.
Beauty, and Other Personal At
tributes, insignificant Compared
With That Supreme Distinction.

Which is the best ingredient q
woman can provide towards the max
ing of happy marriage?
Clever housekeeping" one woman
remarked. Another joined in the dis
cussion with the opinion that common
sense was the most necessary ingredi-
ent. "a sweet temper" IAN under
standing of men," "femininity" were
suggested.
Then the one man present gave his
verdict.
"What men like best in women is
happiness" he said.
There is profound truth behind
these words, casually uttered at tea
table discussion.
Unhappiness in marriage rarely
comes to happy woman. The high
spirits, the merry smile, the alert con-
tentment of the happy woman are far
removed from the superficial vivacity
reserve Of strength.
To be happy is to imply a certain
self-reliance and it is this quality Of
Independent happiness which men de-
light to have in their wives, and which
makes, beyond all other things, for
happiness in marriage.
1t is the woman who knows how to
be happy without husband who is go.
Ing to be most happy with husband.
1t Is the woman who knows how to be
irritable, full of grievances and exact
Ing demands without a husband who
is going to be exactly the same woman
after marriage as she was before.
Men dislike scenes. They are
frightened of hysteria. 1t Is an i'm
mense relief to any man to know that
in his wife he has ,happy-hearted
woman who will not become sunk in
melancholy If his business takes him
away for several weeks, who will not
tell him that her evening has been
spoiled because he comes home late
from his work.
Beauty, intellect, personality, youth
itself are nothing beside this rare and
beautiful gift of simply being happy.
The interesting" woman, with her
moods, her emotional demands, her in
sistence that she must be all in all to
the man she loves, often brings disas-
ter to marriage. But the happy wom-
an gives her own happiness. 1t Is in
fectiOus.
The woman who wants to make a
happy marriage should begin to prac-
tice happiness-when still In the

A TWICE-TOID TALE.

One OF Interest to our lteaGefS.
Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after long

TELL OF VICTORY
Inscriptions Record the Passage
OF Co queForS.
Ancient and Modern Times Connected
by Tablets Put on Record
in the Holy Land.

More than three thousand years ago
on the face of cliff in the Lebanon
hills Rameses II, king of Egypt, or
dered his stone carvers to inscribe
tablet setting forth his conquest OF the
land. The figures of the ancient
Egyptian and his men are still visible.
4 few feet away one may see, carved
In the same rock by q British stone
cutter, q record of the coming in Sep
TENDER. 1918. of Field Marshal Sir
Edmund H. Anenby, G. G. B., COM
mander of the allied forces in Asia
Minor. And the passage of the cen
turtles from B. G. 1900 to A. d. 1913
Is recorded by various other carvings,
in all not less than twelve, each de-
scribing the march of a victorious
army.
The cliff selected for the carving of
these historic records is at the mouth
of the Dog river, ten miles northeast
of Beirut in Syria. This strip of coun-
try lying between the Lebanons and
Egypt has been the bridge between
the ancient empires of the valley of
the Nile and Mesopotamia, and over
it have passed the armies Of the an
cient, medieval and modern worlds.
The narrowest point is where the
Lebanon mountains come close to the
sea and at this place Rameses II set
the precedent Of commemorating his
conquests by hewing out a panel on
the face of the cliff These carvings
are cut about four or five inches deep,
from five to nine feet high, and from
two to four and a nalf feet in width.
Several Assyrian conquerors led
their armies through this pass, includ-
ing the great Sennacherib, who threat
ened Jerusalem. but whose army was
smitten by "the breath of the Lord"
Alexander the Great led his conquer
ing hosts through the same defile on
his way to Egypt, and Greek and Latin
tablets tell of the conquests of the
great kingdoms of southern Europe
when the march Of empire passed from
Asia to Europe.
Coming down to recent history,
tablet tells of the coming Of the army
Of Louis Napoleon in 1860. when the
massacres in the Lebanons called for
European interference and France
first set her foot In Syria. Nearly
sixty years passed by, and then the
English army led by General Allenpy
and assisted by tie French, swept like
whirlwind from the south four years
ago and ended the rule of the Turk
in the southern part Of the Levant
A panel has been cut in the cliff near
those Of the ancient Egyptians, tell
ing of that great victory and bring
ing the wonderful cliff record Of his
tory up to date.

A large number of the Froid farm
ers who saw the demonstration on the
copper carbonate dust treatment for
smut conducted by the county agent
at the demonstration train, were very
much pleased with the new method
and indicated that it would only be
a short time until it was universally
adopted by the farmers of this county.
The fact that seed can be treated
any time during the year and not put
off until seeding time when farmers
are the busiest, the fact that the cop
per carbonate dust treatment will not
injure the germ nor cause danger
from seeding in the seed bed together
with the fact that the grain is not
swollen but remains in its normal size
which gives a more uniform seeding,
is the reason why these farmers are
keen about the new method in place
of the formaldehyde method.
Numbers of farmers during the
demonstration. cited instances due to
the wrong mixture of f~ormaldehvde

Scotland Yard"

Scotland Yard is the headquarters
of the Metropolitan police of London
and is situated within a stones throw
of the houses of parliament in south
western London. Formerly the de-
partment was housed in a group of
buildings surrounding a courtyard
near Charing Cross. 1t derived its
name, Scotland Yard, from a palace
assigned from the time Of Edgar to
Henry III, as the residence of the
Scottish kings when they visited in
London. The present head is Sir Ed
ward Henry, commissioner. The chief
is appointed by the crown upon rec
ommendation of the home secretary.
The yearly cost of Scotland Yard, &C
cording to the latest published sta
tistics, is $15,OOO,0O0. Sir Henry is
the originator of the system of finger
print as identification, which is rap
idly superseding the Bertillon system
in all countries.

Powder to Lay Road Dust.

Calcium chloride, a chemical powder,
is being used to lay the dust on the
stretches of the Prince of Wales high
way between Brockville and Ottawa.
The experiment is being carried out
by the department of highways with a
view of determining the relative
values of the chemical and of oil for
this purpose, and two stretches of
roadway, at ~Spencerville and Mano-
tick respectively, are being treated.
The chemical absorbs and retains
moisture and forms a coating over the
surface of the road. It's cheapness as
opposed to an oil treatment is said to
be considerable and as both treat
ments have to be repeated frequently
the department hopes to effect a ma
terial saving.

NEW USE FOR Ignite

w. 0. Rygg of the Wolf Point
Flour Mill believes hat he will be
able to use Ignite slack in his pro-
duces gas engine and supply power
for the mill at a great reduction over
either hard coal or electricity.
Last week he went to Crosby, N.

which uses Ignite slack in an engine
quite similar to that at the Wolf Point
mill. There is a Ignite mine about
Is miles from Crosby and the slack
coal from it is supplied to the Crosby
plant at a cost of under $500 per
ton in the bin.
