FRIENDSHIP AS KEY
TO HAPPY MARRIAGE
Power of Being Companion
able Great Asset.
If you art: half ft. dozen friends which
quality la most likely to make for hap
piness in marriage you will probably
receive half a dozen different replies.
And all,will be Illuminating.
Tj'he'man much occupied with busi
ness may regard common sense as su
premely important. An" Imaginative
woman will tell you that sympathy Is
the first essential, while a less sensi
tive-minded woman suggests good tem
per. The grace of clieerfuluess, the
benediction of that "ordinary" kind
ness which, because so rare is so ex
traordinary, the sunshine of a merry
nature, the tender appeal of unselflsh
mss—all these qualities make for hap
piness In marriage.
But what is the final test? Which of
all the varied'characteristics of human
nature is, If developed and cherished,
most likely to bring enduring happiness
in marriage?
The answer is to be found in an ob
servation not of very new marriages
but of those which have known years
of storms, of disappointments, of dis
illusions. In happy marriages which
might so easily have been unhappy, is
it not the power of being companion
able which kept husband and wife to
gether?
Marriages have often come to a
tragic end because the man and the
woman have not learned to be friends.
In a marriage where the joys of com
panionship have been Incompletely real
ized, a disappointment in marriage as
such may lead to permanent estrange
ment. But where there is real friend
ship, a happy companionship, a joy In
doing things together, the desire to con
tinue a great comradeship may prove
stronger than the wish to end a disap
pointing marriage.
" Modern women expect much more
from life than theif mothers expected.
I am always surprised and a little
envious when, reading the novels of
the latter Victorian days, I find how
contented women were with a little
happiness. They made a little joy
go a long way.
The women of today might take a
lesson from those unconscious hero
ines. If marriage as a romantic rela
tionship has proved a disappointment,
there Is Inspiration and refuge in the
knowledge that a friendship between
husband and wife may be the most
beautiful relationship In the world, be
coming a more lasting bond than the
marriage tie itself. —London Mail.
Machines in Astronomy
At least two-thirds of the time now
spent by astronomers on extended
computations can be saved by the use
of adding and computing machines, ac
cording to Dr. L. J. Comrie of the
Dearborn observatory of Northwestern
•"university. In the past, objections
have been made to the use of such in
struments from the possibility of their
being inaccurate, but, said Doctor
Comrie, "modern engineering skill has
produced machines that are practically
fool-proof and error-proof, as well as
versatile and easy to operate." Doctor
Comrie pointed out that this develop
ment of the computing machine to its
present perfection is the result of Its
wide commercial application, but that
this same development has caused the
machine to be designed essentially for
business purposes. Machines might be
constructed which would suit the pur
poses of astronomers and other scien
tists much better than those now in
use, he said, if they were used to a
sufficient extent.
! Hypnotic Reptilian Eyes
It has often been stated that certain
reptiles have the hypnotic eye, and
are able to "fascinate" their victims
by their peculiar expressionless con
centration. Another proof of this has
come from a Vell-known big game
hunter, who tells In a recently pub
lished book what happened to a rub
ber planter In Africa. Two friends,
.who were with another man on an ex
pedition, left him to watch the camp
while they went Into the forest. When
they came back they found him sit
ting motionless, gazing fixedly at a
dark of leaves' Just In front of
him, but he took no heed of them.
Then they saw that the head of a
great snake was protruding from the
leaves, Its eyes fixed with Intensity
on its chosen victim. They shot the
snake at once. But their friend con
fessed that he was unable to move
, away from the terrible gaze the snake
had fixed upon him.
In the Right Place
• The Somerset (England) Football as
sociation council was amused by a re
markable coincidence of names during
the investigation of the circumstances
In which the referee had cautioned a
certain player. Evidence showed that
the player was sandwiched between
two of the opposing teams. "Yo«r were
the meat between two pieces >f
bread?" the chairman asked the player. ■
-Yes," was the unexpected reply. "Mj,

THE ALAMANCE ULEANER
Desert Lend Afjaits
Tread of Explofer
First discovered by the English ex
plorer, Stephen Borough, In 1556,
ova ZemMa, the great Arctic land
Jf. ' e ™ a f l of European Russia,
with Its lifeless waste of Interior/has
remained much of a mystery .ever
It Is shaped like an elongated cres
cent and contains about 36,000 square
miles. It Is part, of the Russian prov
ince of Archangel, and Is practically
a continuation of the hilly country of
north Russia, only about thirty-seven
miles of strait separating it from the
mainland.
The northern section seems to be
covered by a grfat ice sheet. The
interior consists of a main mountain
chain with traverse chains thrown oft
in different directions, separated by
deep, narrow valleys, some of which
are watered by streams of consider
able size. During the spring thaw
these rivers bring down large masses
of rock fragments. On the- north and
south extremities the mountains de
scend to a comparatively low plateau
with le\el valleys dotted by a multi
tude of lakes.
| Gooseland, on the south, Is covered
in the summer with grasses. Else
whe.v even leaved lichen are scarce,
I although leather lichens flourish. In
places where a little humus has
formed flowering plants appear, the
brilliant (lowers seeming to spring di
rectly from the ground, concealing
j the*smaller leaves. The complete
flora thus far known numbers about
200 species. The interior is prac
tically devoid of animal life—only
stray white foxes, white bears and
immigrant .reindeer. The seacoast,
however, is covered during the sum
mer with countless birds. Millions of
auks swarm on the rocks. . Great
flocks of ducks, geese and swnns
swarm every summer on the valleys
and lakes of the South. There Is
good salmon fishing in the rivers.
"Rod in Pickle"
The annual slaughter resultant from
the British shooting season has long
made the brine tub necessary as a
means of eliminating loss and waste.
To rural Britain the third Sunday in
November was long known as "Salt
ing Sunday." In by-gone days the
saltings along the Essex coast were
valuable properties, for salt being
then obtained by evaporation only, the
deposit from the tidal waters year
after year, amounted to no small quan
tity. Year after year to the saltings
came the farmers in their big lumber
ing wagons, bent on exchanging their
surplus live stock for the necessary
preservative at the then current rate
of one sheep for two bushels of salt.
It can) be understood from this how
the spilling of salt came to be regard
ed with superstitious feelings, and
to to be deemed unlucky. Another
old saying: "I have a rod In pickle
for you," also originated abofit this
time. Children in those days were
sternly dealt with, and a bundle of
twigs was quite often kept In soak
in the family brine-tub In order to
render it supple.
Named From Mountain
3. C. (Rogers says that a syndicate
of gentlemen, mostly composed of army
officers, purchased the first traet of
land on which Mount Rainier, Md., Is
situated from the Clemson heirs nnd
that most of them came from Seattle,
Wash. In' honor of the celebrated
snow-capped mountain near their old
home they named the new subdivision
Mount Rainier. This tract of land had
belonged to Ann Clemson, who ac
quired It frem her father, John C.
Cnlhoun, the great nullifler, whose
home stood at the Intersection of wbat
is now Ash and Thirty-first streets.—
Washington Star.
Buffalo Increasing
The herds of buffalo at the Waln
wright National park. In Canada, have
Increased far beyond the number that
could be supported In a dry year. It Is
estimated that no more than 5,000 head
should be held at Walnwright At pres
ent, despite the slaughtering of many
hundreds of buffalo last year, there ara
still more than BHOO head.
Pima Cotton Valuable
Pima cotton. Introduced Into the
United States as a domestic long-staple
product to fake the place of Egyptian
cotton, makes better mail pouches than
almost any other material, the bureau
of standards has determined In a series
of tests. Two hundred pouches made
of Pima cotton and 200 of ordinary
cotton were made up by the burean
and put Into Identical use for a year
In the hardest service. None of the
Pima bags was torn after a year, but
one-third of the ordinary bags were
torn badly.

Preserving Books «'•
The simplest way to prevent mll»\
dewing of books Is to keep the leather
i in a well-ventilated and well-lighted
I place, preferably one exposed to -the
I sunlight. Mildew cannot make much
headway in sunshine. When mildew
develops it should be washed off with
soap and warm water, or simply wiped
off with a- moist cloth, drying the
leather well afterward.
Might in fhe Jungle
The lion, noted as being the noblest
of tlie jungle's beasts. Is, of course, a
mighty hunter. Ilis ferocity Is pro
verbial. AH animals as well as man
become its victims. The African buf
falo, however, Is often its master, and
elephants sometimes are able to over
power both lions and all members of
the tiger family.
Perfumed Butter
The perfumed butter used in Paris
is made by taking parts of "fresh" or
unsulted butter an«l placing them on
a layer of some variety of (lowers,
according to the perfume desired, u
piece of muslin being laid between the
butter and blossoms. Another layer
of Ilowers is placed above the butter
and thin ice is ad.led.

Birds Devour Pests
The Department of Agriculture says
that our birds will eat the pest known
to scientists as the Japanese beetle,
and are counted upon as a natural
check to its/depredations. The pur
ple grackle has proven to be the most
important bird enemy, tjvo-thlrds of
Its diet consisting of Japanese beetles
In neighborhoods Infested with the
pest.
Crocodiles' Advantages
Crocodiles, particularly those of the
Egyptian Nile, are mighty hunters, al
though they exercise great Judgment
In choosing their .'victims. They are
extraordinarily tough and tenacious of
life, and -are so shaped and defended
by their strong skins that other ani
mals have much difficulty In combat
ing them.
Africa's Vast Water Power
Africa, although kiiown as the "dark

smallest of the continents, is also last

Arizona
Authorities dlffei as to the meaning j
of the name "Arizona." Some say the 1
name is derived from the Spanish i
wordf "arida zona," or arid zone.
Others maintain that the word comes'
from "arlzumn," meaning "silver-bear

Franklin Ranks High \
as Apostle of Thrift
Who does not remember Benjamin,.
Franklin's advice: "Don't give too
much for th> whistle"? And by that
he meant don't- give more of thought
or time or money for anything than
It Is worth. Ills unhappy experience
with the whistle marked the begin
ning of Franklin's great work In the
cause of thrift, the Thrift Magazine
recalls.
He had few books but was deter
mined to have an education. Many a
time he would sit up nearly all night
reading by candlelight. To buy more
books. Franklin made a bargain with
his brother, to whom he was appren
ticed, by which he would board him
self on half the money It had been
costing. Then he «'lJ without fish and
meat, lived on a cheap vegetable diet
and Invested his savings In worth
while books. j
lie never attended a college or evoa
a high school. lie went to a primi
tive grammar school hut two years
and yet he was one of the best edu
cated men of his day. He found time
to write books, to study science, to
Invent. No one ever exemplified the
value of thrift in time more than did
Franklin. His "wise saws" on time
saving, such as "Since thou art not
sure of n minute, throw not away an
hour," are known to all.
Policy of Silence
Makes Few Enemies
A keen observer recently remarked
that harsh words In the English lan
guage have more synonyms than pleas-'
ant words have. A little turning of
the pages of the dictionary bears him
out.
If you say a man tells the truth you
have said it all. There Is no neat and
forceful way of emphasizing and en
larging upon that. But If you say he
lies you will -find a hundred subter
fuglng ways to say It. From the
"short and ugly"- to "equivocate,"
"quibble," "prevaricate" and the like,
the list Is long, says'the Montreal
Star.
One politician mode himself famous
by saying of another thut he "was
economical In the use of the truth to
the verge of parslmonlousness." Such
a stutement draws
bland. It Is suave, it has the mild
sting of vinegar, not the burning ero
sion of vitriol.
• Even better than such elaborate cir
cumlocutions to express a thing which
at best we should have left unsaid Is
to forego for the moment being clever,
and keep our peace. The world will
think more highly of us for It.
When Pedagogues Kicked
Scotland's army of schoolmasters
In the year 1782 sent a memorial to
parliament pointing out that while
their average Income wus £l3 a year
that of a plowman was £l4 to £l6.
No relief was granted until 1802, when
the Schoolmasters' act was passed,
and their income wus legally fixed at
"not under 300 raerks (£lO 13s. 4d|a
nor over 400 merks (£22 4s. 6d)." Tipj
heritors had also to provide a house,
"which need not contain more than
two rooms. Including the kitchen, and
with ground for a garden or not more
than a quarter of a Scots acre, or two
bolls of meal as Its equivalent." They
were highly Indignant at being obliged
to "erect palaces for dotnlnles," bnt
legal compulsion could no longer be
Ignored. Thereafter, conditions were
at least good enough to prevent school
masters from resigning their office to
beadles —as had actually hap
pened during the darkest days! *
Marvels of Jelly' Fish
The Jelly-fish has a truly wonderful
way of reproducing Its species. In
most cases the beginning Is an egg,
which, lying on the bottom, producea
a beautiful trfre-llke growth. The
"tree" fastens Itself to the bottom and
brings forth buds which, when ripe,
drop off and develop Into Jelly-flsh.
The latter In tnrn lay eggs and the
process Is repealed. Most of the very
large species have a different way of
reproducing themselves. The egg la
set free in the water and develops Into
a pear-shaped larva, which for a while
swims übout rapidly, being provided
with hair-like appendages that serve
the purpose of ears. Then the larva
settles down, anchors Itself to the bot
tom, Increases in size rapidly, and.
finally splits up Into thin, flat discs
which swim off and grow up Into tsrgt
jelly-fishes. •

Beware Chinese Remedies
Weird and wonderful are the medi
cines prescribed by at least 2,000 Chi
nese quack doctors who are operating
throughout the United Statea and
whose "remedies" are on sale In many
Chinese stores In this country. These
; men, however, should net be confused
j with the legitimate Chlneae physicians
! and surgeons, of whom there are prob
! ably one hundred In the United Statea.
Most of the "doctors" were cooks,
laundrymenj stevedores, or eplum ped
dlers before they began to dabble In
medicine. The patient Is requested
Ito describe his ailments, while the
J "doctor" writes down ostensibly
what the patient has told him.
i In one Instance the "doctor" was
] found to be marking a ticket
for a Chinese lottery In San
Francisco. The medicines prescribed
Include leaves, ground clawa of a lion,
dried toads, beetles, and snakes.
These articles provide quite a flour
ishing trade of their own, and good
prices are obtained by men who can
sell "tiger hair." A man was found
recently catching and clipping stray

USE OIL SPRAYS iN
BATTLE ON INSECTS
In some sections, fruit growcn Had

few years, in spite of regular appli
cations of the standard lime-sulphur
spray. Many of these growers have
resorted to the use of oil sprays to
secure a thorough cleanup of San Joaa
scale, points out Dr. F. EL Lathrop,
chief entomologist at ClecnaOn col
lege, in discussing the control of * KtM
scale disease.
Oil sprays are more effective te
the destruction of scale Insects than
Is lime-sulphur, but unfortunately,
there Is greater danger of Injury to
the trees whfen an oil spray Is used,
nnd tbe oil seems to bare less fun
gicidal value.
Oil sprays for the control of San
Jose scale should be applied during
the dormant season. Extended
ods of low temperature should be
avoided In making the application.
I'robably the most satisfactory time
for the applications of oil emulsions Is
In 'the early spring Just before the bufis
show green. •, 4
There are a number, of commercial
mlsclble oil sprays on the market. r
Most of them are reliable, and ace
effective when used according to tHfe
directions printed on tbe containers.
During the past few years .homemade
red engine oil emulsion has come Into
use In many fruit-growing districts.
This material Is quite effective* and
can be prepared at home much cheap
er than the commercial oil sprtfys.can '•
be purchased. If this material is made
at home, snys Doctor Lathrop, great
care must be taken to secure a perfect
emulsion, otherwise serious Injury will
result tot the trees, it Is not advisable
for a grower to attempt to make this
