I was (and am) doing noth -g wrong, so I just go on. "My poor mother led a dog :ife for 48 years because of my lad's jealousy. He showed it be- fore they married. and my grand dad tried to warn her, but she couldn't see it. With marriage, he became worse. Dad has almost lost his mind over this, and my mother's health is ruined. "I wish that people who con- template marrying a jealous per- son Might have a panoramic view of half what my Tamile has experienced.

Perhaps farmers with spring crop to cut or thresh think otherwise. But still, when you think how much every other kind of vegetation is needing moisture a good rain would surely do more good than harm. Yesterday I was setting out geranium cuttings — fifty of them — and there wasn't a bit of moisture in the ground. And near here a farmer was taking out old fence posts, four feet down in the ground. He said he could have split the wood and burnt it in the kitchen stove for kindling it was so dry. Part- ner is having his trouble with fences too. He is rebuilding a field gate and a section of fence and of course his main obstacle is also the hard, dry ground. And then there's the garden. Alter a lapse of a few days I went out to pick string beans. I expected to get quite a let as the last time I looked there were plenty of little beans and all kinds of blossom:' All I got was a handful, The little beans had dried up and all the blossom had dropped off. Harvest apples are still fail- ing off the tree but I am pick- ing out the best of them, cook- ing them with the skins on, forc- ing the pulp through- a rotary colander and canning the apple sauce. One needs to make the most of every bit of fruit „that comes along this year otherwise there will be a lot of empty jars this winter. And it is more than human beings that go short of fruit these days: .Have you thought what it means to the birds? So many of them feed d on v, il'i fruits and berries,. For in- ±tante, we generally have quite a few cedar waxwing. around in the late summer as they love the wild honeysuckle berries. This year we have very .fey' o); either berries or birds. Even the peer little frogs seem to have an unnatural brownish, shrivel - Jed up appearance. But yester- day I sew something that was really green — as green as a tomato worm. It was some kind of praying mantic. Any I had seen other year:, were : a brown- ish shade but this one was a beautiful colour. This mantis was among my geraniums and I took agreat care riot to dii,turb him because the mantis is a, de- sirable insect to have around the garden as it destroys' many in- xects injurious to plant life. The mantis is a fascinating thing to watch and it dot. -r. t seeps to mind being handled at all. Yea don't need to be afraid of it ISSUE 37 -- 10.51 either. It doesn't bite or sting and the average human is too -big for it to eat. It will cling to your finger as quietly and con- tentedly as if it were on the stalk of a plant. The mantis is common in Europe and the tropics• but appar- ently it made its first appearance in Ontario about 1914. It prob- ably came into Canada without a passport under cover of imported fruits and vegetables. The mantis is no ordinary in- sect. It has been connected with various legends axed superstitions for thousands of years, The ancient Greeks thought it had supernatural powers and the Moslems claimed the • praying mantis, when in an attitude of prayer, always turned towards Mecca—Mohammed's birthplace. In southern Europe it was known variously as saint, preacher, nun or soothsayer and, according to an old legend, a mantis alighted on the hand of St. Francis Xavier, who thereon commanded the mantis to sing' the praise of God. The mantis, according to the legend, intoned a very beautiful canticle. Per- haps that legend has something to do with the superstition that for a person to have a mantis alight on his or her person betokens saint- liness or else is a token of good fortune. Well, a mantis certainly crawled over my hand yesterday but, as I don't expect to shine as a saint, maybe it will bring me good fortune instead.

But her money was running out. Readiag that a rich American needed a pair of eyes for a graft- ing operation to save his sight, the Princess offered hers — pro- vided that the American made himself responsible for Alexis's education. She received no reply and fear- ed she had been. indiscreet. Then she heard that the American was dead and now learns he has left her a million dollars in gra- titude for her offer. Start ,ng?

The British Treasury gave the needful permission for the ex- change of dollars. Yet the mil- lionaire was seeking to avoid death duties. In Canada they are taxed at less than half the English . rate, Then there comes from France the story of memory man Pierre Lutece, a vaudeville star who claimed to be able to answer any, question on any subject. He was thought to have a phenomenal brain, and when he feared his end was near he suggested that a hospital might like to buy it for urposes of research The doctors agreed; spot cash was handed, over and a secret contract signed for exclusive pos- session of his brain after death. When Pierre eventually died, there was scientific chaos. Alto- gether he had sold his brain to fifty-three different institutions and swindled them of $50;000. To be sure, you can't take it with you. That is why "Johnny the Boy" started his fantasic rac- ing career, sometimes getting through $3,000 a week in a whirl of gambling and celebration. Warned that his days were num- bered, he sold his million dollar a year business, made provision for his wife and children and then found a myriad of friends to help him spend. Thanks to h 1 s winnings, he failed- to achieve his object of getting through nearly $300,000. When he died, his gambling debts steed at only a few hundreds — and he left $450;000.
