FOR IDEAL OF RECREATION Subject That Is Worthy of Much More Study Than Is Generally Given to It. What women throughout the country still need is a freer association with other women whose standards, social, intellectual add moral, are higher than their own, writes Anne Morgan in the Woman’s Homo Companion. As a peo-' pie we are too Inclined to seek a lower standard for our recreation, to level down. We seek a companionship where no intellectual effort is necessary; we choose a theater where the entertainment furnished is a popular j musical comedy, rather than a play | with literary merit, interpreted by tai- ‘ ented actors. Certain' popular magazines with large circulation contain | stories and articles utterly valueless in quality; other publications contain-1 ing literary and historical contribu- ■ tions by serious authors reach but few I homes. In our recreation, as in our work, we want immediate results with > a minimum of effort; to be entertained generally means to be relaxed. The splendid rest and refreshment that i comes with a great, but different, intellectual or physical effort is known only to the few. The ideal life would be for the daily existence to be so ordered that no definite holiday time would bo necessary—each twenty-four hours would bring its own neriod of work, play and rest. In our complicated civilization, however this is well nigh impossible. It has been numerously said that the only person who really needs a vacation is the man who has just returned from one. MANKIND'S DEBT TO BIRDS Work Done by Winged Carriers of Seeds Is as a General Thing Underestimated. Now and then we see a thriving bit of grass or a flowering plant perched in some impossible niche, high in a wail or chimney. Sometimes the wind has carried the seed there and with the help of a little dust and some rain, the seed has found sufficient encouragement to sprout. But it is not so often the wind as it is the birds, who have deposited the seed. Sometimes it has dropped from their beaks in flight, but more aften it has passed undigested through the intestines and falls well fertilized to sprout. This is especially true in dryseasons, when the birds swallow less grit and so the seeds swallowed are not so readily ground up. If it were not for the birds our Christmas supply of mistletoe and holly would be very scarce, as in the case of the parasite mistletoe especially, the seeds from the berries would rarely, without birds’ help, find their way up to the limbs of trees, where they can attach themselves to the bark and gain the needed assistance. Sinking of Wrecks. Very little is known as to the depth to which a ship will sink, as the depth at which observations can be made is limited. Any statement on the matter must be in the nature of conjecture. In the case of wooden ships, many did not sink, but became waterlogged and floated for years a short distance below the surface, constituting a serious danger to navigation. The mord modern types of vessels have occasionally floated for some time in this way, being abandoned perhaps because of a leak, but sinking eventually. A modern liner which sinks certainly goes to the bottom in any instance where the necessary observation is possible. The greatest known depth of the ocean is about five and one-half miles, and the average, save in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans where the water is shallower, would be from two to three miles. It is a. debatable point whether a liner sinks to the ocean bed in that depth, but when badly damaged, as in the case of the Titanic, it is probable that she goes a great distance below the surface and may even reach the bottom. Complete Culture. Matthew Arnold defined culture as acquaintance with the best that had been said, done and thought in previous ages, and regarded such acquaintance as essential to correct conceptions of life and duty and adequate enjoyment of the high privilege of living. And he was right, but not entirely so, for life is more than culture, and some of the most cultured men have been the most heartless oppressors of their fellows. That which molies man man is that he is made in God's image, is that his is a divine nature, that he is destined to see him as he is. In order to be a completely made man, he shall need to give heed in his preparation to his divine nature, to the cultivation of bis divine attributes, that he may grow in greater likeness to his Father and be prepared to stand before his judgment throne unabashed. —W. A. Harper, LL.D.. Astonished the Good Lady. A few years ago a fire occurred early one morning at a house in Liverpool, England, and as the staircase was well alight before it was discovered the oc- j cupants had to seek some other means of escape. The companion to an elderly invalid I lady was reading the newspaper report I of the tire to her, which stated that one servant escaped down a water pipe at the back of the house. At this statement the old lady ex- I claimed: •’But how thin the poo*- -I'.'rM j| have been'”
