Every; woman wants her daughters to marry; She never feels safe about them until they are married, and the first breath! of relief that a mother draws from]l the time her baby girl is born is when' she sees her walking out of the church door on the arm of her husband. This being the case, why is getting her daughter’married not a legitimate Occupation for the mother? Why should not a mother use her wisdom and experience in trying to secure a good husband for her child? No mother has a right to use her influence to make her daughter marry any particular man just because he is-a “good catch.” But she should use 'her own matrimonial experience and her own knowledge of men to guide her girl in making the right choice of a husband. . , Every woman knows that in affairs of the heart an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. There is no use in arguing with a girl in love. She is temporarily incapable of seeing anything in its true light. She isl deaf to all reason. Girls marry the men with whom they are thrown in contact. Hence it is the mother’s]l duty to see that the men with whomi her daughters associate are the kind she would welcome as her sons-in-law.

From the time a baby' lseal is laid snugly within a bed of dry lseaweed, until he is able to look outl for himself, he is subject to an unre- lenting discipline. In teaching her baby to swim the mother seal flounders out on the rookery, gathers the baby seal under her flapper, and slips carefully into the water. Suspendin‘g the baby on her flipper, the mother seal barks, grunts and whines in her attempts to indicate what is expected of the baby. [I the baby refuses to perform, the mother spanks it with her flipper. The young seal learns to swim by flounder- ing a few strokes at a time. When it becomes exhausted and starts to sink, the mother snatches it from danger. I Some of the beach combers in Alas-l, ka 'adopt baby seals as pets. They beâ€"' come as faithful as dogs, and it is im- possible to banish them once they be- come attached to their masters. An instance is cited of a baby seal that was taken out to sea in hopes that it] would reunite with its hard. About! midnight there was a plaintive wall at the cabin door. The seal had comel back.

The damn. which is being erected on the Blue Nile. was commenced some years ago, but the work was condemned. Thee Soudan Government then invited tend- : ers. and a British firm, Messrs. S. Pearr‘ son and Company. were awarded the, contract, the sum involved being fouri million pounds. The dam is being conâ€" structed for irrigation purposes, and If 3 the company’s engineers fail to have” water upon the land by July, 1925, theyl will have to pay a penalty of 5500.000. i Cutting Up a Country. ' Twenty thousand men are being em-f ployed in the construction of this, they Makwar Dam, but they can work re-i' .gularly for only eight months in the? the other four months. Work during. summer is also difficult owing to the extreme heat. The top of the dam will act as a. year, the Nile being in flood during1 1 miles of smaller waterways. all of which will combine to distribute water and render fertile a vast tract of coun- try. . At the presenttime there is a small army of British workpeopleâ€"mecham ics and so onâ€"in the Soudan cutting up the desert to make it blossom. And even after the work is completed Bri- tain will continue to benefit, for it is estimated that 300,000 acres or the desert will, as a result of the work, be bearing a wonderful crop of cotton, much of which will, it is hoped, find its way to the mills of Lancashire. Even more costly will be the irriga- vtiou project which has been begun in India. also by British engineers. This is the construction of a. dam on the :Iudus River, the cost of which will be 1ten million pounds. There will be sixty-six sluice gates. 850 miles of ‘madn canals, and 1,200 miles of small- er distributaries. The dam across the Colorado River twill be twice the height of St. Paul’s Cathedral, and will entail the expendi- ture of nearly fifty~five million dollars. The River That Brings Ruin. If the Colorado is not tamed there is no hope of saving from inundation the prosperous Imperial Valley with its 100,000 settlers and yearly crops representing a value of $100,000,000. The river flows at the phenomenal speed of thirty miles an hour, as fast as many trains! In 1906 it overflowed its banks. cut a deep channel thirty- five miles long through the desert, and formed what is known as the Salton Sea. a huge lake 50.000 acres in area. bridge for the Soudan Railway.
