"My poor mother led a dog's life 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 family has experienced. A jealous man 's an egoist, likely to slander or :ommit an outrage against the bject of his love. I myself have seen so harried that I've felt ike a prisoner pacing his small ell, with no way of escape. 'Sometimes through the years [ have sat down and written all these - troubles in detail, as though to a friend, and it has eased the burden. Checking them over now and- then, I find the only important change is in- my own attitude--or, rather, forti- tude.

So many. readers say, "Even if y can't help me, I feel bet- ter for telling you."

RONICLES Taerfapy ' Wouldn't it be wonderful it we could have a full day's rain? Or would it? - Perhaps farmers with spring crop to cut or thresh think otherwise. But still, when you think how much every other kind of vegetation is needin moisture a good rain woul surely do more good than harm. Yesterday 1 was setting out geranium cuttings -- fifty of them -- and there wasn't a bit of moisture in the ground, And near here a farmér 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 fleld gate and a section of fence and of course his main obstacle is also the hard, dry ground. And then there's -the garden. "After a lapse of a few days I- went out to picle string beans. I expected to get quite a lot 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 énd all the blossom had dropped off. £3 Harvest apples are still fall- 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 on wild fruits and berries, For in- stance, we generally have quite a few cedar waxwings around in the late summer -as they love the wild honeysuckle berries. This year we have very few of either berries or birds. Even the poor little frogs seem to have an unnatural brownish, shrivel- led up appearance. But yester- 'day I saw something that was really green -- as green as a tomato worm, It was some kind of praying mantis. Any I had seen other 'years were a brown- ish shade but this one was a beautiful . colour. This mantis was among my geraniums and I took great care not to' disturb him 'because _the mantis is a de- sirable insect to have around the 'garden as it destroys many in- sedts injurious to plant 1ifé. The mantis is a fascinating thing to watch and it doesn't seem: to mind being handled at all.

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. i The mantis is no ordinary in- sect, It has been connected with various legends and 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 thé superstition that for a person to have a mantis alight on his or her person betokens saint- 'lness 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.
