TO WRONG THOUGHT

Is Due Responsibility for Human Sorrow and Suffering. Story of Young Man Hidden Under Smoking Ledge Points a Moral for All of Us, Especially In These Troubled Times. Have you read the story? A trapper amid the snow-hushed hills of western Massachusetts spied smoke issuing from a ledge of rocks in the depths of a dense forest He did not know what to make of It All sorts of fearsome notions beset him as he ventured on attempts to solve the mystery. But when he had summoned help and they went in at the opening detected, bearing lanterns and all bands armed to meet whatever might be encountered, they discovered a lone man bending over a small fire in the act of roasting a bit of meat. And they learned from him that he was living there to escape the service men are summoned to render in war time! The mystery >f the smoking ledge would serve somebody well to po'nt a moral or adorn a tale. For most of life’s experiences that puzzle and trouble us mortals are much like this of the smoking ledge. We conjure np no end of dire thoughts about them — about diseases, disasters and especially such distresses as are now come on the world, when the whole of civilized life is like a smoking ledge. We think* of nature as malign, of fateful evil powers as lying in ambush against us, even of God himself as causing things which confound us as we go the rounds of common life. But by and by we discover, in one instance after another, that precisely what alarm and puzzle and trouble us are really due to some human aberration from right doing. We are wrong in thinking that fate or nature or God are responsible for the mysteries of suffering and sorrow. The truth is that some human being who has gone wrong is down under most of tho smoking ledges that mystify us. To get this clear In one’s mind is of the greatest importance, especially in times like theses This young man hid under the smoking ledge told a story vividly significant He was there to escape the duty of all when all that we cherish Is imperiled. He confessed that he had Crept out at night to buy food In a town miles away—he couldn’t subsist without drawing on the common provisions for welfare which are now In jeopardy. He acknowledged having been obliged by Illness in his cave to go and secretly spend a week In a hotel’s comfbrt—he would have died like a wild animal but for such shelter In the established order he was refusing to help maintain. He had even tramped far through the snow on a winter night to peer through a window at his sister’s family, happy around their home’s bright fireplace—his man’s heart, craven as It was, longed for a glimpse of those sanctities which sound-headed men are now going forth to safeguard. Food, shelter, the realm of love! These are the primary human imperatives, as even the man under the smoking ledge bears witness. And these, with many other blessings, are now put in peril by ruthless foes, overseas and here at home as truly. Could anything show the folly and wrong of failing to defend them more strikingly than the’ story of this man under the smoking ledge?—Boston Herald.

Hair Dyes Forbidden.

All blondes who have decided to become brunettes and all brunettes who have decided upon a golden disguise, take heed. The monthly drug bulletin of the New York health department contains the following warning: “Lead and silver salts were formerly«the main poisons to be found in hair dyes, but the wails of the would-be young under the punishment of ‘indignant nature,’ w’ho was • said to hide ‘her lash in the purple hues of a dyed mustache,’ more particularly the offerings of their pogketbooks, have caused many of the hair dye manufacturers to use a coal tar derivative as the base of their product. This is known as paraphenylenediamin. It having become evident that the use of this substance in dyes intended for application to human heads was dangerous, such use has been forbidden in this city.”

School Neighborliness.

In the city of New York, 14 of the large public schools have been made into community centers. Roller-skat-ing rinks, employment bureaus, social clubs, reading rooms, lecture halls and gymnasiums, are some of the features of these centers. And all their attrac tions are not for young folks alone. The mothers have their clubs where they listen to experts on all subjects of home interest, and where they exchange with each other views on common problems, personal experiences and friendship. This movement for neighborliness has pecome widespread, and in many cities the new schoolhouses are being designed with particular attention to their prospective use as centers of the community.

Wait a Minute!

An elder sister approached in an ingratiating way a small girl who, in the breakfast room, was -engaged in knitting. “Well done, well done !’* she remarked. “That is really capital.

Teaching Little Children.

Parents must not look down upon the child and consider his efforts, trials and sorrows petty; we must try to understand how sincerely they put all their hearts into their play and that the losses that ‘seem so trivial, to us are of great moment to them. We must learn to share all their experiences with them if we would develop the fine feelings we wish to have at maturity. Children must not be shut off in one part of the house to remain aloof until a certain age, but ought to be part of the family circle, sharing in Joys, work and minor sorrows. I do not mean that children should be pushed before visitors, have all their meals at the family table or remain till their elders retire, but there are times and places where it is the children’s right and privilege really to be members of the family.—Exchange.

Careless Papa.

They are telling, this one, which may or may not be true, in the centers of civilization along the Eastern seaboard. A youth hired as an office boy by a New York concern was explaining to his employer the necessity of his having steady employment. “You see,” he said, “I have to help support my mother, because papa isn’t with us any more.” “Is he dead?” asked the head of tbs concern, sympathetically. “No, sir; he’s not dead, but they’s got him in jail.” “In jail! What for?” v “Well, sir, he used to work in a bank over in Jersey, and they accused him of taking samples home.” —Saturday Evening Post.

JOKE WAS ON SALOON MAN

Wet Goode Dealer Found That Bundle He So Obligingly Kept for Customer Had Its Uses. Aren’t the master workmen of tbe wet goods establishments easy marks? That is -what the gentry who live by their wits are asking'each other. They know that, the proprietor of a wet goods establishment loses bis mental balance and is completely disarmed when he is invited to have a drink. Recently two husky-looking individuals entered a Forty-mscond street suds emporium. One of the party carried an enormous bundle, which he placed on the.top of the mahogany. The? both called for a drink. - “Well, it is hopeful that my wife will stop her nagging about the cold weather and being cold when I carry this home,” said fche man who carried the bundle. At the end of the bar stood the proprietor of the wet goods establishment He seemed curious, so the two men invited him to have a drink, which was accepted. One of them explained that he had the finest pair of wool blankets that was ever sheared from the backs of sheep in the package. “Feel for yourself,” he said, as he unfastened one end of the bundle, The proprietor felt and acknowledged that they were the simon pure wool article. “I’m taking them home to my wife,” said the owner. “She has been kicking about being cold.” Then they had another round of liquids. “Well, I must be on my way,” said the man, as he picked up the bundle. “Why don’t you leave them here until you start for home?” interposed his companion. “Good idea,” he said. And turning to the owner of the case he asked If he could leave the bundle. “Sure,” said the proprietor, “but you had better write your name on it to avoid any mistake.” Twelve o’clock came around and the man hadn’t called for his bundle. "I can see that fellow getting more h—l when he goes home tonight,” said the proprietor as he turned the key in the door. The next day the owner of the case was the first on the job. He took a survey of the wet goods and then went to the rear of the stop, where the safe was. Here was a Surprise for him. He found the door of his burglar-proof safe neatly reposing on the pair of downy blankets, which had been used to muffle the sound of the explosion.— New York Times.

Maritime Miscellany.

One of the minor and yet exceeding ly important articles entering into the construction of a wooden ship is the “knee.” A ship knee is a right-angled wooden brace used to give strength to the framing and is fashioned from the natural crook of a tree formed by a heavy, shallow, horizontal root and a section of the trunk. Knees when finished are sometimes as much as six or seven feet high and many of them are four feet high. The tremendous impetus to wooden shipbuilding brought about by the war has resulted in the establishment of a sawmill at Portland, Ore., designed exclusively for the finishing of ship knees. The timber preferred is second-growth Douglas fir, found growing in shallow soil, so that the roots turn off at right angles to the trunk and thus give the proper shape. A tract of timber that will produce five to seven knees per acre is considered a good location for a camp. The standardized wooden ship requires some two hundred knees of all sizes, while of wooden ship, also under construction, requires more than one hundred and sixty knees. In addition to the production of knees by the special sawmill at Portland, various operators are also getting out knees by the old-fashioned method of hand hewing in the woods. —National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association.

Food—After the War.

Whatever other blessings peace may bring it will not bring instant relief to the masses who are now distressed by food shortage and its natural consequences, high prices. There will be as many mouths to feed when the armies are demobilized as there are now. It Is true that the fare of the soldiers in most European countries is more liberal than that of the civil population but no statesman will take comfort in the prospect of masses of disbanded soldiers reduced to the level of civil undernourishment. And besides, the civil populations that are now enduring semistacvation uncomplainingly, recognizing that no relief can be expected while the energies of their government are engrossed by war, will be far less patient when peace returns. More food, not less, will be required in peace.—The New Republic.

Beautiful Surgeons.

“The girls of India make the flnesl surgeons in the world,” according to Dr. Mary Riggs Noblo of Colorado, recently returned from India, where she has been professor of surgesy in the woman’s medical college of Ludhiana. Doctor Noble is giving a course of lectures in Kansas City on “Patriotism and the Woman,” particularly the young woman. “The tremendous need for doctors in India,’’ said Doctor Noble, “has helped to produce them, for the veiled women of the East will not have man physicians to attend them, and many have died rather than be treated by a man. During the awful plague that raged in one of their cities a few years age ten thousand women lost their live* because of the lack of woman phyal clans and nqrses to attend them.

THE BIG WORK IN THE WAR

The War Lord Salutes the Field Marshall. Such Is the striking title to a welltimed carioon In an agricultural paper, showing the War Lord In salute to the farmer. The meaning of It is that without the assistance that the farmer renders lit the matter of providing food for the army tbe fighting ability of that body would be proportionally. decreased. While the army Is fighting, the farmer Is busy. The promptness with which be sprang Into the breach was a patriotism equal to that of the man who enlisted and the farmer’s record In this particular was worthy of the high record that has become his. All over the United States the appeal is being met by more production. Fields are enlarged, Intensive agriculture has taken the place of slipshod methods, more cattle are being fattened, more hogs grown, veal and lamb have become scarce commodities. This is all in keeping with the food-controller’s demands, and with the heartiness that is now prevalent, it would seem as if the requirements of the boys at the front and the allies in Europe would be fully met. Not only are the tilled acres of the United States being brought Into requisition, but the wild pasture lands are doing tribute with their cattle and sheep. Working in conjunction with the United States, Western Canada is also doing its share and a pretty large share it is, too. By an arrangement with the United States Government It will now be possible through its employment bureau to secure for the Western Canada fields such help, as can be spared. It Is thought in this way Canada will have Its help to seed Its millions o£ acres of wheat land fairly well met The large number of young men of the farms who have enlisted and gone to the front has left many of the Western Canada farms weak In the matter of man power. This means that Canada can take all that the United States can spare. The wages will be good and the housing comfortable.

In addition to this the free homestead lands of Western Canada offer the greatest inducement to the man with limited means who is willing to undergo some of the hardships naturally accompanying this enterprise. There is also the large area of uncultivated lands that are waiting the man with sufficient means to purchase and equip. And this 16 not expensive. The l&fids are cheap and the terms very reasonable. Equipped with tractor or horse power the cultivation cost is slight when the return is considered. Yields of wheat varying from 20 to 40 bushels per acre may be relied upon, and with a set price of over $2.00 per bushel, it is an easy matter to arrive at the cost. Production, including interest on land, has been estimated at figures not exceeding ten dollars an acre. With a twenty bushel yield, at a two dollar price—forty dollars. Ten from forty and you have the profits many farmers made in Western Canada the past year. The Dominion and Provincial Governments are working conjointly In an Increased production propaganda. Among the important steps that have been taken to bring this about is the recent order by which it is made possible to take into Canada tractors that cost fourteen hundred dollars and less in the country of production. This will give those residing in the United States, owning lands in Canada, the opportunity to place them under cultivation at much less cost than in the past. Another inducement is the privilege of taking sheep and cattle in free of duty. Automobiles form a necessary part of the outfit of a good many farmers that would like to move to Canada. These are now accorded free duty. Provision is also made that those requiring seed and unable to obtain it in any other way, may get it from the Government. So from this it will be seen that it is not only the fertile lands of Western Canada that
