As John drew near the high-school age, the question of finding ways and moans to, attend high school in the neighboring oilty, not to speak of the college course of which he had begun to dream, was a poser. The teacher at the corner schoolhouse, who had given kiln special lessons in go'on'otry and 'LaOin, fiaalally suggested a plan. ."Why dont You teach a simnel.' term of school?' he s"aiat to Abu. So tit t'he age of sixteen, Joh 1 se- eured a teacher's permit and for ten Weeks. taught in a little red. school - 120115e, soneiimes hiaving one pupil, and sometimes six or eight palrypila. His wages were only four dollars a week, but he boarded at home and walked back and forth, With' a little nvoetey ahead John en- tered high school in the fall. Every Monday morning his father took hien to the city. In bhe back end of the buggy was a large basket of food Which this another had: prepared for the Week. Friday afternoon hie father drove to the city after litsn. The next year John taught the school in his own district, and studied by himself, The fallowing summer he hired out to a farmer a few nines away. When the 'autumn came he hail saved up enough money to take himself through his last year et the high school. Now the lure of college was strong: er than ever, Then John dad the hard- est work he'd ever diene—be sold stereoscopes and views. By fall he had sawed isp a good sum of money, but not enough by any means far has expenses. He Arad the promise of a schollarsthtip, and in addition he bor- rowed; $160 "from his Sunday schoel teacher, a well-to-do fanner who had confidence in the .boy. His father,en- dorsed his note; and to protect his father, John had his 'life insured. Once in college John found) that there were many ways to help'himself. There were apples to pick, a furnace to take care of for one of the pro- fessors, a backward student to tutor, a chance to earn has board by waiting on table at a student boarding-house, and the opportunity to be paid assist- ant at the college library, In fact, during his senior year Jahn earned more than he spent, and .had a good time besides, "Get money enough ahead' to go through the first year of high school or college," John says, "arid bhen the way to manage the second year will become clear." BURGENLAND, HOME OF MUSIC AND MIRTH GAVE MANY ILLUSTRI- OUS MEN TO WORLD. Austria's New Province Birth- place of Haydn and Liszt, also Joachim, Violinist. Burgenland, the bone of contention between Austria and Hungary, is much Sri the public epe at present. The Vienna correspondent of the London Times says that one of the curiosities of Austria's new province, the Burgen- land, and indeed, of Central Europe, is the Neuseidl See, a big lake covering 131 to 136 square miles, with a length of 22f,e, miles, a breadth in the narrow- est'part of 3% miles, a mean depth pf tee feet and maximum of 13 feet, It has no regular outlet. There is a canal twenty-three miles long at the southeast end, but the discharge .is practically nil. Other outlet there is none. ' It wil come as a surprise to many to learn that this land of hard working peasants has given illustrious mien to the world. The Burgenland's noblest sons have been musicians. Joseph Haydn, the village wainwrigh,t's son, eldest of a family of twenty-two child- ren, was, strictly speaking, a Lower Austrian, as he was born at Rohrnu, (hard by the Burgenland frontier, But he spent nearly the whole of lits life at Eisenstadt as Capelilneiater to Prince Nicolas Esterhazy. Franz Liszt, greatest or all pianists was a real "Refroze," being born" a Raiding by Oedenhurg. So, tote -ewes Joseph Joachim, king of classic violin fists, who was born at Icittseo• Dr Bans Richter, who revealed WVagner o English ears, flnst saw the light a Raab. Hummel, Tilgner, Hyrt), Adam O eser (of whom Goethe ail Winckel rami were pupils) ; these and many thers, artists and savants, were sons f the Burgenland, The great day is usually the Tues- day following tile third reading. For days beforehand the cooks are hard at work roasting, baking, and boiling poultry, pigs, and even whole oxen forthe feast. Early on the wedding morn- ing the young men, still carrying their canes bedecked with flowers and rib- bons, fetch the guests, while the vil- lage band plays polkas and waltzes. At the first stroke of the church bell the bridegroom asks his parents' bless- ing and forgiveness. At the second stroke the cortege is formed and pro- ceeds to the bride's house, led by the band. First come the bachelors, then the spinsters, next the bridegroom and hi$ best man, and finally the married men and women, The bell rings for the third time. The bride now in her turn seeks her parents' blessing and forgiveness, and the procession is re- formed for the church, the bride and Iter best men walking immediately be- hind the bridegroom and his assist- ants, The bride's attendants carry canoes adorned with flowers., ribbons and rosemary in one band and a mug of wine in the other. In their pokets is a drinking glass, which front thne to time is filled and handed mostly to the musicians, to encourage them. When knot is tied the whole village swarms round the porch of the church to congratulate the ]sappy couple. Pis- tols are fired in the air. Then the party snakes for the ]rouse of the bride's parents, where the feast awaits then. Often the way is blocked by boughs and trunks of trees, or in Win- ter by snow thrown up by the village Youths, Who take toll of the merry- makers before they are allowed to pro- ceecl. The Wedding Feast. At the bride's house a fresh difldculty ,ipresents itself, The door is found t locked. After much knocking the head of the cook appears above a Iadder, - asking what their "Honors" .desire. One of the best men explains that they seek admittance and hands the cook a t "document," which is mostly a plain sheet of paper. She consents to throw . open the door. Mete is a flourish of trumpets. songs are sung, and the feast begins. It goes on till evening; Soup, various kinds of boiled, baked and roast meet, roast fowl with salad and stewed fruit, various kinds of sweets, cold rice pudding, washed down with wine, coffee and tea. The festivities often last two and even three days, a 0 h r 1 w h is u 0 v a w t bif s Miles from one side of the etniveree av fl It is at the wedding festivities that he Heiuzen show Breit' capacity to make merry.

"Everything seems to be against nae these days, Uncle Jim," he grumbled. "Nothing goes my way any more, I'm going to quit—that's al(. What head- way can a fellow make' when every- thing in the world is against him - Bound to be a failure." "Humph," said Uncle Jim medita- tively. "I didn't know that you and Napoleon had so much in common, Bob. He felt that way, too, when he was about seventeen, Bttt what puz- zles me is whether you and he are alike in one other point. I must really look that up and see whether he too was such a different person on sea and on land." Bob looked puzzled. "Different on sea and on land? How? What's the joke, Uncle Jim?" "No joke. Just plain facts. As Shakespeare remarks, you "suffer a sea change into something rich and strange. "I've been at the shore with you three summers, and I've been out in Your little sailboat more times than I can count, but never once have I heard you say you couItln't get anywhere be- cause the wind or the tide was against you. As I remember, you used to go to Pine Cove pretty often last summer when the wind was dead wrong." There was a twinkle in Uncle Jim's eyes, for the visits to Pine Cove had been a family joke. There had been a very pretty reason for those visits. But Bob loftily ignored everything except the subject in hand. "A good sailor doesn't have to sail with the wind or the tide," he explain- ed. "df a man knows liow to set his sail right he can take advantage of the wind, whichever way it blows from. You know that as well as I do, Uncle Jim," "And then you say you aren't dif- ferent on sea and on land," said Uncle Jim thoughtfully, "Well, I was go• ing to read you a lecture on the uses of adversity, but I don't need to. You've put it into—shall I say a sea Shell? If you know how to set your sail, you can take advantage of any wind and go where you please. Weil, now you go right out and apply that idea on dry land, and see if you don't make port with a good cargo." Bob nodded, and a dawning smile carie over his face.

Greater Part of Miner a l Wealth Awaits Commence- ment of Development. The province of Alberta first attain. ed prominence from its vast cattle and horse ranches and more latterly from its prolific wheat-tlelds and mixed farms. Sporadic prospecting at all times revealed the fact that a wealth of minerals lay hidden away, among them coal which amountedto seven- teen per cent. of the world's coal sup- ply, and' though exploration is now systematic and thorough the field is very wide and new discoveries are continuous., so that it would be a very difficult matter to make an estimate of the extent of this wealth or its value to Canada, A, valuable survey has been conducted by Dr. John A. Allan of the University of Alberta, which is published as "The Mineral Resources of Alberta" by the provincial govern- ment and which illustrates le a clear and comprehensive manner the vari- etyand extent of minerals to be'fountl In the province, the greater part of which have not yet seen the con- mencemeut of development. Bitumen.—Tho Alberta bituminous sands, snore frequently called tar sands, cover an extensive area along the Athabasca River above and below Fort McMurray. Tho extent has not Yet been accurately determined boot out -crops examined show that at least 1,500 square miles are underlain by this formation. The tar sands con- tain from fifteen to eighteen per cent. bitumen. The subject is treated ex- haustively in a pamphlet to be found among the Department Publications. Building Stone.—Rock suitable for building purposes is widely distributed throughout the province, but up to the present time only some of the more accessible sand 'stones 'have been uti- lized. Clay.—The clay resources of Alberta may be classed among the most im- portant of her mineral resources, but up to the present time the extent and commercial value of these resources have not been investigated in detail, It is known that deposits suitable for the manufacture of various kinds of ceramic products aro widely distri- buted throughout the Province east of the Rocky Mountain escarpment. The value of the production of clay pro- ducts manufactured increased annual- ly until 1912, when the annual produc- tion had a value of one and a half mil- lion dollars. • The output decreased rapidlyafter that year, due to the fact that construction for the most part ceased during the period of the war.Coal.—Alberta contains seventeen per cent. of the coal resources of the world and about eighty per cent. of the coal reserves of Canada. Nearly the whole south half of the Province is underlain by one or more coal bear- ing formation. It has been estimated that Alberta contains an actual re- serve of over 386,860 million tons and a probable reserve of about 673,650 million tons. This makes a total re- serve of 1,069,910 million tons within the Province. The production of the year 1920 was 6,908,923 tons. Copper. --Small pockets and irregu- lar lenses of chalcopyrite are Iuiown to occur within the Reeky Mountains along the Dow Valley. It also occurs north of Hudson's Hope onthe Peace River. Specimens of bornite, clralco- cite, and cuprite have been obtained in the area north of Athabasca and Slave Lakes, Natural copper occurs 01 the lower part of the Coppermine River, which is tributary to Coronation GooleExploration has revealed the fact thatin Bathurst Inlet area there are more than 6,000,000,000 tons of rock carry- ing 1-100 to 1.4 of one per cent. of disseminated native copper. Gold.—Gold occurs in the gravels along most of the rivers which drain the oast slope of the Rocky Mountains. The NorthSaskatchewan, the Peace and possibly the Liard Rivers contain mcst important placer gold, G•ypsunr. Gipsuin is widely distri- buted throughout the plains and the MacKenzie Basin north of the Pro- vince. Calcium sulphate is also a 0011- inon constituent of several of the miilornl springs of the Province. Gyp - stint inter -bedded with clay or lino. stoic hen been found along the banks of the Athabasca, Deposits of pure gypsum Outcrop along the Peace River. Iron. --Iron occurs in several forms nd at Many localities tout up to the . resent time no deposits have been found of sated size and quality toe to arrant development. There are yet, however, large a nprospected areas in orthern Alberta in wkioh iron ores 2 conlniercialvai es may i vu ,bods steered.

A mau's muscles, develop with use, and it would, therefore, seen that the older he got the stronger he would be- come, but this 1s not true throughout his life. The physical strength of the average swan increasos and decreases in proportion to his years, whether he uses his muscles much or little. This tdoes not mean, of course, that at any period a man who has not developed Ole muscles will be its strong as one who has, but that the athlete as woll as the non -athlete has a fixed period of increase and of decrease of physical power. The average youth of seventeen has a lifting power of 280 pounds. By the twentieth year this power will have in- creased to such a degree that he should be nh]e to exert a lifting power of 320 pounds, and his maximum power is reached in his thirtieth or thirty first' year, tt•loan his lifting power should be 365 pounds. After the age y�r of thirty-one power decreases, but i.> e very slowly, falling but eight pounds by lire time a man is forty. Frain forty to fifty the decrease is some, what snore rapid, falling to 830 pounds at the latter age, so that the lifting power of tt Iran of fifty is just a little better than that of a man of twenty, After fifty the decline of strength Is usually rapid, but the rate varies so surprisingly hi individuals that no satisfactory averages have yet been observed. • ti Land Hunger. In. every one of the newly created political divisions of Europe the chief atm of tbe peasant leaders has been to hasten the solution of the land ques• tion, in order to satisfy the hunger of the people. for fields of their own. In Bulgaria, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo•Siavia Hungary and Roumania the domande of the Green international have been receiving attention. In Czecho-Slo- vakia especially there has been rapid progress, so that one hundred and fifty thousand farmers have become own- ers of the soil, and live hundred thous- and acres of land are to bo leased to former soldiers, farming associations, parishes anti public utility companies. The forests, because it is to necessary to preserve them, will be administered by the suite. True Nobility.
