He bad heard of it growing in a certain district and, being of rare occurrence in the neighborhood, he set out on the quest. Twice he returned empty-handed. On the third attempt he found his treasure, He had walked ninety miles for it and thought himself amply A great lover of wild birds «nd a skillful photographer of them has for years given almost every hour of his leisure to that hobby. He has been out at as early as two or three o'clock in the morning to make his observa: tions. Some of his photographs were the reward of almost endless patience. For birds do not pose for the photo grapher. If they know he is near he gets no photograph. He must needs hide himself, : But how great the joy when after long and patient seeking, he gets his pictures--birds on the nest, birds feed- ing their young, sometimes even stand ing on their backs to feed them! A man must be prepared to put heart and strength into his quest. That is the spirit behind every discovery. All great discoveries have first of all been seekers, passionately keen and invincibly patient. Sir Willlam Her- shal, for instance, famous among other things for his discovery of the planet Uranus, used to continue his observa- tions of the sky the night through. For some years he observed every sin- gle hour, when the weather was clear, and his observations were all made in the open air, Midwinter or mideum- mer he was there. The coldest nights were often the finest opportunity. His sister Caroline helped by writing down his observations as he made them. They were keen. So was Burbank--- so is Edison, so was and is every one who does anything worth while in any sphere. Discoveries are the crown of patient and prolonged quests.

Farm workers and clergymen are the healthiest classes of the com- munity, doubtless because both lead simple lives, with much exercise in the open air. Butchers and merchant sea- men are among the most short-lived people. The mortality among butch- ers is twice as great, while that of merchant seamen is three and one-half times as great as that of clergymen and agricultural laborers. Butchers and seamen live largely on meat, pre served meat, preserved vegtables and other stale food which is only eaten sparingly or not at all by the clergy and rural workers; hence the high standing the bracing alr of the sea. Many think cancer i# an old-age dis- ease. If there were a cancer age, can- cer modtality would be higher among farm workers and clergymen, among whom longevity is greatest; but ac cording to Mr. Barker, the cancer mortality is twice as high among the short-Hived butchers and seamen. ye Wouldn!t Open Him Up.
