HUSBAND WONDERS & "Dear Anne Hirst: Three weeks ago my wife took the chilâ€" dren and moved to her father‘s house. She told me she was goâ€" ing, but would give no reason except that she was tired of livâ€" ‘ing with me. 1 am at my wits‘ end to know why. I had no idea she was not happy Soft is the breath of a maiden‘s Not the light gossamer stirs with less; But never a cable that holds so fast «. Through all the battles of wave and blast. .â€"Oliver Wendell Holmes. "I love my wife dearly. Perâ€" haps I took her for granted, but whatever her reason for leaving, I‘d do anything to get her back I might say I‘m just a home: body, and she loves company and amusement. Can you advise me what to do? In a few weeks, put on a campaign. Ask your wife out to dinner and a show; recapâ€" ture the spirit of your court ship days, and pay her soliciâ€" tous attention. Don‘t urge her to come home, but when the question comes up promise you wili behave differently, and relieve the monotony that may have become unbearable If you will pursue this plan with intelligence, your wife may understand how unfair it is to separate you from the children and realize where she belongs, too. If you visit your fatherâ€"inâ€" law‘s home frequently (ostenâ€" sibly to see the children) you may find out why your wife left you. Win her father to your side; the separation must distress him, and the children could be a burden in his well arranged household. Husbands often â€" compiain they are tired of marriage, and think that a sufficient excuse to seek new thrills Why doesn‘t it occur to them that their wives may have been tired of marriage even longer? A wife‘s daily routine is more dull than her husband‘s. > If you visit your fatherâ€"inâ€" You can honestly tell her that you love her so that you forgot yourself. That you will never doubt her again. That you have been too ashamed to face her since, but now you cannot bear the thought of losing her. â€"â€" And promise that if she will relent, you will try with all your strength to control this temper of yours If she consents. you will be a very lucky man indeed. In the Song of Solompn you find these words: "Love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave." Fix them daily in your mind, and learn to be kind instead of cruel. manner of your charge disâ€" closes a temper which should make any selfâ€"respecting girl shudder at the thought of FEATHER BUNS LONELY Ellis took the picture to a number of experts, all of whom were certain that it was the work of Thomas Rowlandson, the caricaturist. It was put up for sale at Christie‘s where they said it had been exhibited in the Royal Academy of 1784 and was without question the finest Rowlandson im existence. It was knocked down for over In 1945 Mr. Jack Ellis was browsing around old junkâ€" shops when he came across a drawing called "Vauxhall Garâ€" dens." He liked it and handed over a pound. The dealer obâ€" viously thought he was "green." The farmer and his wife thought him mad. But the door never really fitted, so they sold it. Pembery took it up to Lonâ€" don and sold it for $4.500. The next day an American rushed round to his flat andâ€"too late â€"offered him $12,000. "I like it," said Pemberty; and made a handsome offer. ‘‘Naturally," he added, "I‘ll buy a new door to replace it." "Queer door, that," he reâ€" marked to the farmer‘s wife. ‘That ain‘t no door," she exâ€" claimed. ‘"That were a mantleâ€" piece _ my _ greatâ€"grandfather built into the farm. Before the war Mr. A. C. Pembery, holidaying in Devon, went into a farmhouse at Bideâ€" ford for a cup of tea. As he sat there he noticed that one of the doors looked as if it came from a church. Examinâ€" ing it more carefully he found of the doors looked as if it came from a church. Examinâ€" ing it more carefully he found that it looked more like a manâ€" tlepiece than a door. He consulted an expert who identified it as the 16thâ€"century work of the brothers Pasco and Filippo Negroli, of Milan. Toâ€" day, worth a fourâ€"figure sum. it is one of the most prized exhiâ€" bits in the armour gallery of the Fitzwilliam _ Museum â€" at Cambridge. f Duveen was in no position to haggle. He paid up and took the wrecked picture home. It looked fit only for firewood. But with the dealer‘s hatred of being _ caught, he hopefully cleaned it and, having removed innumerable layers of grime, discovered it to be a Franz Hals. It later sold for $6,000 Some years ago there was a sale of old theatrical junk. Among the props lay a battered helmet for which no one wou‘d bid. It was almost given away by a desperate auctioneer. Some years ago James Duâ€" veen, the art expert, was exâ€" amining a picture at a sale and had just made up his mind that it was quite worthless when someone behind bumped into him by accident. As he was off his balance his weight split the ancient frame from top to bottom. The auctioneer smiled maliâ€" ciously. Here was a chance to get rid of a worthless picture: "Can‘t go damaging property like that," he warned with mock severity. "Shall we say a pound?" The idea that bargains can‘t be picked up at auction sales and in junk shops is quite wrong. Despite the fact that experts scour these places, valâ€" uable antiques sometimes esâ€" cape them. The buyer took it <home, cleaned it and found it was covered with superb decoraâ€" tions of nymphs and cupids. Below them, in gold, was the inscription: "Thou _ walkest proudly before the stars." One afternoon the ballet star, Lydia Sokolva, passed by and was intrigued. She recognized it as the head of her former partner, the mad genius Nijinâ€" sky, and bought it out of sentiâ€" ment. After cleaning it thorâ€" oughly she took it to her friend Richard Buckle, an antique exâ€" pert. ‘"This." he pronounced, "is the original head of Nijinâ€" sky modelled by Lady Trouâ€" bridge in 1911. It is worth $3,000." Turned To Gold They Bought Those who spotted a grimy plaster head in a shop in Charâ€" ing Cross Road smiled as they read the label: "Straight from the Temple of Mithrasâ€"10s" The dealer had at least a sense of humour. "Junk!" That GETTING SOME ADVICE â€" Rookie Bill Virdon of the St. Louis Cardinals gets a few pointers from Stan Musial (right) during spring training. Virdon, an outfielder, batted .333 for Rochester in the International League last year. This sequoia was about 1,000 years old, the oldest part havâ€" ing been formed about 823 A.D. A ring outside this was marked, 1066, Battle of Hastings. Then To demonstrate the great age of a giant sequoia which fell during the hurricane thirtyâ€"two years ago, a naturalist of the Yosemite National Park _ of America placed it on exhibiâ€" tion and marked on a cross= section of the tree the date at which the rings were formed and a wellâ€"known event in hisâ€" tory which wis taking place at the time. Seeds no larger than a pinâ€" head rain down from the seâ€" quoias‘ dizzy heights by the million every year, but forestry experts in America and Canâ€" ada have calculated that the chances of one of these fallen seeds surviving and germinatâ€" ing is less than one in a milâ€" lion. Just One Tree Makes Fifty Houses These aweâ€"inspiring trees, the oldest living things on earth, flourish high on the slopes of California‘s Sierra Nevada evada mountains. Some exceed 300 feet in height and contain sufficient timber to build fifty m o dern, sixâ€"roomed houses. Ring counts made on one giant felled not long ago showed that it was at least 2140 years old. Seedlings, ten inches high have been planted in gardens in Pretoria, South Africa, in a longâ€"term experiment to grow there the largest trees in the worldâ€"the giant sequoias.

Six shillings in the meter buys light for one hour‘s night play at the Queen‘s Park lawn Tennis Club, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England. ‘The unique "pay as you play" plan has attracted the interest of some Canadian tennis clubs. . In Capetown some years ago a 200â€"ton schooner, the Protca, which cost ,$36,000 to build, feched $5 at an auction. Her timber alone was worth hunâ€" dreds. _ An American â€" threeâ€" masted vessel, the J. O. Webâ€" ster, of 431 tons, went for $15. And about 1932 the German gunboat Tsingtau was knocked down in Canton Harbor for one Chinese dollar (then worth 30¢). His employer paid his fare to theâ€" town and told him to buy it. He went straight there and bought the vase which stood in the window on sale for ninepence, exactly as in his dream. The pair were then put up for auction and an Ameriâ€" can paid $5,000 for them. Mr. Reilly was given $600. Most fortunate of all is the man who can dream where anâ€" tiques are to be found. This happened to a Mr. J. Reilly, of Battersea, who worked for an antique dealer. His employer had picked up a valuable vase for a few shillings in the Caleâ€" donia _ Market. â€" "For â€" three nights." Reilly told him, "I‘ve dreamt I saw the fellow to that vase in a shop in a country town." ported not to object Chemical and psychiatric reâ€" ports say that there is nothing harmful in the drug, and Canâ€" adian custdms officers are reâ€" The drug is said to produce direct revelations from God, and pertmite users to "talk from the heart."

During the ceremony they chew the peyote buttons, each taking two or four. Peyote buttons are the tops of a type of cactus that grows wild in Arizona and other parts of the United States.

Modern EtiquetteRrillod â€" This Church Uses Wonderâ€"Working Drug He arrived at Dover early in 1859, hired a crew of men, and bought a dozen oxen. He had brought his primitive equipâ€" &ment with him as far as he could by railway, then hauled it by ox team over rutted trails He built a tower with long pine logs and, with power provided by oxen on a treadmill, he started drilling, about two miles south of Dover. During the late spring and summéer he punchâ€"drilled four shallow wells, the deepest of which went down 190 feet. He hit both gas and oil. While there wasn‘t much oil and he‘d had trouble keeping water out of his wells, the signs were promising and he was optimisâ€" tic. They were completed wells and had shown oil was present. Back in Pennsylvania, Drake had been drilling and had so far found _ nothing. As _ August moved into September and Tweedel tackled his fifth well, he mentally gloated over Drake and imagined himself bringing in &n enormous flow of oil while Drake was still boring dry rock. Tweedel‘s dream of triumph exploded when a â€" messenger handed him a letter from Pennâ€" sylvania. As he read it, the color>drained from his cheeks and he shrugged wearilyâ€"the shrug of a defeated man. He summoned his crew. "Boys," he said, "we‘re all through. Line up and get paid off. Drake has struck oil and his well is giving 25 barrels a He studied geological reports from all parts of North America before embarking on his venture and his attention was caught by a report that described two seepages at Dover, where Micâ€" macs had for centuries mixed war paint and softened leather. He decided that if there was a chance of finding oil by drillâ€" ing in Pennsylvania, there was a similar chance elsewhere. If he could do it, he would vindiâ€" cate himself, put Drake in his place, and perhaps make money. With business booming, the directors of the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Co. reasoned, that if they could pump petroleum from a well, as water was pumped, they‘d have a great adâ€" vantage over their competitors This, of course meant drilling a well. Tweedel was fully aware of the opportunities. He had some knowledge of geology and felt he should have charge of the big project. His pride was hurt when his rival, Drake, was given the project instead of him. Many humans, besides rubbing it on their bruises, sores, sprains and cuts, were using it as an internal remedy, and farmers had discovered that it w&;]so a lubricant for wooden agon ‘axles. Drake drilled in the U.S.; Tweedel chose to drill in Canâ€" ada, near Dover, a small village not far from Moncton in eastâ€" ern New Brunswick. Tweedel, whose name has been almost forgotten, was a Pittsburgh chemist and an adâ€" viser to the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Co., formed in 1854. At that time the one source of petroleum in the U.S. was natural seepâ€" ages.
