From time immemorial women have
been branded as being more curious
than men. Now we are told by a Lon-
don clergyman that men far outnum-
ber women in the inquiries they ad-
dress to him during the "Question
Hour" he has instituted at his church.
One cannot say that one sex is more
curious than the other, but they are in-
terested in totally different matters.
Feminine curiosity is lighthearted, and
less searching than masculine. • Few
women are ashamed to admit their de-
sire to know the cost of a dress, but
the majority would be reluctant to ad-
mit their ignorance of some important
event in history. The opposite is the
case with most men. They feel it is
bad taste to be curious about personal
matters, but they rarely mind asking
for information about public affairs.
Curiosity often becomes a vice with
some people. Most of us are familiar
with old maids and bachelors who
spend all their time probing into the
affairs of others. Such people are an
object of terror and dislike to the oth-
er inhabitants, and the originators of
countless petty scandals and quarrels.
Lack of any real occupation drives
them slowly, as they grow older, into
indecent prying into their neighbors'
concerns.
We are apt to condemn curiosity as
an unpleasant quality, and few of us
will acknowledge that we are led and
tempted by it. We forget that it is an
instinct which is one of the most valu-
able and beneficial assets of humanity
in the battle of life. It is the driving
force behind the work of all scientists,
doctors, and explorers. Without it the
world would still be in a state of bar-
barism.—Vancouver Province.
Practice of Kissing
Not Universal Custom
The idea of the kiss being an in-
stinctive gesture is negatived by its
being unknown over half the world,
where the prevailing salute is that by
smelling or sniffing (often*called by
travelers "rubbing noses")
The kiss appears constantly in Semitic
and Aryan antiquity. -
In Greece in the classic period it be-
came customary to :kiss the hand,
breast or knee of a superior. In
Rome the kisses of inferiors became
a burdensome civility. The early
Christians made it the sign of fellow-
ship. It early passed into more cere-
monial form "in the kiss of peace given
to the newly baptized and in the cele-
bration of the eucharist.
While the kiss has been adopted as
a religious rite, its original social use
has continued. Among men, however,
it has become less effusive. Court cer-
emonial keeps up the kiss on the cheek
between sovereigns and the kissing of
the hand* by subjects, and the pope,
like a Roman emperor, receives the
kiss on his foot.—Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica.

Waxing Candlous
Henry Drummond, author of "The
Greatest Thing in the World," in his
lighter moments (and he had many)
was full of gayety, frequently dis-
playing a unique and versatile form
of wit. He was one of a group assem-
bled one night at the home of Drum-
mond's minister, Dr. Marcus Dods.
During the supper, which had to
be taken by. candle light, one of the
candles began to droop. One of the
young men set it upright, then it
drooped to the other side. Finally it
became a subject of remark.
Someone called it a most wicked
candle; another said it should be
sent to Greece, and sundry other
jokes were leveled at the unfortunate
light giver. Finally Drummond said,
very earnestly, he thought the conver-
sation was beginning to wax' scan-
dalous.
Eleven Cent Cotton And Forty Cent M<
Eleven-cent cotton and forty-cent meat*;
How in the world can a poor man eat?
Flour up high—cotton down low-
How in the world can we raise the dough.
Our clothes worn out, shoes run down;
Old slouchhat with a hole in the crown,
Backs nearly broken, lingers all sore,
Cotton going down to rise n0 more.
" ./.V.
:"ic
Eleven-cent cotton and ten dollar pants,
Who in the world has got a chance?
We can't buy clothes—we can't buy meat,
Got too much cotton and nothing to eat.
We've got no homes, got no wealth;
Losing our credit, ruining our health;
Can't help each other. What shall we do?
I can't solve the problem, so it's up to you.
Eleven-cent cotton and a carload of tax;
The load's too heavy for our'.poor backs;
We're a good set of farmers—we all know well;
But there's something wrong as sure as—well,
We all work hard, we groaned'and sweat;
Now we are ruined—we are a blowedrup set.
No use talkin—any man's beat
With eleven-cent cotton and forty-cent meat.

"Wires" Sent by Pigeons
Before the invention of the electric
telegraph, carrier pigeons provided the
fastest known means of transmitting
messages, and were even used by Eng-
lish stockbrokers to get early reports
on the market.
The carrier pigeon is useful because
of his accuracy in returning to his
home, and the speed of his flight. lie
must be carefully trained over a long
period. Pigeons have been known
to carry a message as far as 500
miles in one day. During the Franco-
Prussian war they were used by both
armies to carry messages, but the in-
vehtion of telegraph and wireless soon
led to their abandonment.
All bean soups should have
a little flour added to them as
a binder, t0 prevent the thick
part from settling to the bot-
tom.

In the Glacial Age
It is impossible to say how long a
period the glacial waters of Lake
Agassiz covered the greater parts of
Manitoba. Saskatchewan, North Da-
kota and Minnesota. The lake, from
its earliest measurements, appears to
have been 110,000 square miles, with
a length of 700 miles, width of 250
miles and a depth of 700 feet. Besides
the reclaimed land now known as the
Red River valley there remains still
• >f Lake Agassiz the shrunken rem-
nants constituting Lakes Winnipeg,
.Manitoba, Rainy lake, I.ake o-f the
Woods and Red lake.
The Problem Solved
When cotton's low and eats are high,
It appears to me to diversify
Would be a sane and easy way
To bring about a better day.
With butter at fifty cents a pound,
And cream at fourty the whole- year 'round;
With turkeys high and going higher,
is enough to kindle a great- desire
To raise more birds and a little less hell
In a land where opportunities dwell.
• A'' S *
If we'd give more to the dairy cow,
And a better feed to the old brood sow,
We'd not worry about th{. price of meat,
For we'd have plenty ourselves to eat.
With fifty-cent eggs and a six-bit hen.
Why, oh, why, will the children cf m^n
"Ruin their fingers and break their back
Picking eleven-cent cotton and dragging, ^t^ack.
With corn in the crib and chickens in the yard,
With meat in the smoke-house and tubsfuls of
With cream in the pitcher and honey in the
With butter 011 the table and "lasses in the jug,
Things to you won,'t seem.so high,
For you'll be selling—won't have to buy.

Now stop that .grumbling, for the fault's your ownJ
You oxpect to reap where you haven't sov^n.
If you stay at home and help your male, ; .

This to you is my advicj.
