Unequal Marriages.
Over and over again the reason
given for unhappy marriages is that
the husband. outgrows the wife. With
years his outlook on life is vastly en-
larged; she remains much the same,
mentally, as on her wedding day,
while her physical charms have de-
cidedly waned,
Tltie, no doubt, Is true in very many
cases, but how about the other side of
the question?
There aro quite as many wives who
outgrow their husbands as the other
way about—and a few over; and when
a woman once starts the outgrowing
habit, goodness knows where it will
lead her.
No woman worth her eget will rub
in her superiority over her lord and
master if she loves him. It she doesn't,
she can, of course, -make a regular
whip of it.
Taking all things into consideration,
it is far better for the family generally
that the mother should have the bet-
ter brains than the father. There is

love for her man, and when she finds

We.Are Living Through
Wonderful Days. •
The old Arab who refused to have an
operation to restore his eyesight on
the ground that he had seen so much
of the World he was tired of bit, ought
to have lived in this day and age. For,
verily, there is something new to be
seen. Who among us does not want
to live a few years longer, just to see
what comes out of the tangled condi-
tions that exist to -(lay?
Pick up any copy of any newspaper,
and glance at the headlines. A dozen
wars going on, a thousand complica-
tions in the affairs of men and na-
tions, a million strange situations into
which the race has fallen. So mucic
money in 'the world it is a burden to
carry it around, It seems; a market
basket full of money for a marltet bas-
ket fullof vegetables—that is the cur-
rent price of foodstuffs—with every-
body complaining. And yet the ships
bringing in millions of dollars' worth
of diamonds, the shops filled to the
ceiling with luxuries, the streets and
roads jammed with pleasure i+c.rs —
and fonts refusing to work for less
than a dolfar an hour. Verily it is a
strange condition, and it is going to be
worth all the suffering it costs to live
or just to see the finish.
We used to imagine that if we were
old and disabled and had never a pen-
nyin the world, and suiferedrfrom all
manner of physical infirmities, we
would pray to be taken away, to ob-
tain eternal relief from it all, i3ut we
have changed our mind in regard to
it; we want to live, however burden-
some life'may become; indeed, it oc-
curs to as that we would he willing to
undergo all manner of physical.tor-
ments a few years longer, out of sheer
curiosity. We are that mucic interest-
ed in how the world is finally going to
straighten itself out—for we are opti-
mist enough to believe that it will
straighten itself out.

Canada's Agricultural
a Position.
The kion, S. F. Telltale, Canada's
new Minister of Agriculture, has sutra•
med up the outstanding facts of Cana,
de's agricultural position in an article
appearing in the November number of
The agricultural Gazette, He pre.
sents•statistles showing tate growth of
Canada's financial burden during the
Past five years and points out means
by which our national debt will be re-
duced. Ile says in part:
"1 am confident that this Dominion,
through the development of her natur-
al resources, will in time wipeout her
debt. Forests, fisheries, and mines all
contribute their part of the revenue,
but by far the greatest returns will bo
derived from agriculture, which in-
dustry we must continue to establish
in permanency and increase in magni-
tude, One of the greatest response
`bilities that falls on either the federal
or provincial department of agricul-
ture is the conservation of the great
wealth that lies in the virgin soil. In
numerable considerations are involved
in this one problem, but the whole af-
fair can be accontplishod if wo engage
in mixed farming with live stock as a
basis. This is the fnnclanteutal prin-
ciple underlying success in agricul-
ture.
