So delightfully situated it shame to use it so little. Such ;abundance of sunshine went to w in it and the finest view we had w from its seldom -,used windows. I tried rising it as a living -room, it` was too remote from the kitchen and dining -room, and an air of made - to -be -used- only_ on: state- occasions clung to it so persistently that the man invariably stopped in the "mid- dle" room to lounge and read, leaving airy cherished living -room to the iso! 'tion that the habits of years had b Jibed it. I reflected one day what an attra tine bed -room it would make, and h convenient the smaller room epenin i'rom , it • would be as a nursery. T dieer so captivated me that I promptly planned to rearrange it for that pur- pose and soon had my erstwhile use- less parlor fitted up as a bedroom and private sitting=room. A fair-sized bedroom opened from the middle room, which was also a large room, and both having a south exposure, I had a very wide doorway cut . between the two rooms, nearly eliminating the partition, and so com- tined them into one delightfully Iong, -Seamy-living-room. It was so"enjoy Able to have the piano and books and t the most useful articles of furni- tura out where we would use them every day. Our living -room became one, in a sense that no other room ever had, while my parlor never afforded home' the pleasure and satisfaction that zny big, sunny bedroom does with its accommodation for a fire in the win- ter and plenty of fresh and and sun - Aline during the summer. --Mrs, E. M. MEASLES. the child is taken 111. The illness is much cess likely to be dangerous if taken in hand at an early stage. The first symptoms are a rise in body tem - the, perature and redness of the eyes. use. Therefore, when a child has been ex- tl posed to measles, the temperature en should be taken en the eighth,,ninth x-, l and tenth days. after exposure. If.the body temperature has risen or the ed r eyes are reddened, put the' child to ed bed and keep him there. Bed is the ns , one safe place to fight measles, and Y• the;earlier in the disease the chill is gest put to bed, the less will be the danger nt, of death or a serious result, such as d pneumonia, tuberculosis, eye or ear to trouble. There is all the difference in ver - was an este as the world between an. attack of measles .developing in a child exposed to body chill, and in a rest safe- guarded by warmth and Measles requires good nursing and the care of a phy.ician. The patient but should be kept away from other peo- ple until the rash has quite gone, and should remain in bed as fang as there is fever or a cough. Do not let the child be uncovered and chilled as this may lead to pneumonia, A somewhat darkened, comfortably warm room is a- the best and the air should be kept an- moist and soothing to the air passages by means of pans of water or by wet c- sheets, which may be hung across the ow doorway. g Th The season for measles is during the winter and spring months. One- half of the deaths from measles in Canada occurred in the months of January, February and March. A great many of these deaths could have been prevented if parents had real- ized the danger rand how to avoid it. The dangerous age for measles is early childhood. Sixty per cent of the deaths from measles occur in ehile ren under five years of age. Some parents consider measles to be a nec- essary evil of childhood and that a child map be allowed to catch measles and have it "over and done with:" This is a great mistake. The : older a child is when he con- tracts measles the better the chance he will have of recovery, the younger he is the greeter the danger. The death rate of children having measles at two years of age may be five times as high as it is among those who post- pone the disease until the tenth year all life. Measles is spread by the secretions of the nose and throat, especially in the' tiny droplets &prayed" out in cough- ing, sneezing and loud, talking. The danger of catching the disease is �t during the period from five days before the rash appears and for five days thereafter. Before the rash, appear -s. the child may' seem to have only a cold, but in reality this :cold may be the beginning of measles, Frani .the •time, of exposure, from ten days to two weeks elapses before • For Your Cooking save workeernoraey--time;` trouble and orale -and make your' eoolting better.

"Yes, ma'am, I don't wonder he w'as upset," answered Ramsay indis- creetly, and on the spur of the mo- meat, Then he reddened under his mistress's inquiring gaze, and hastily went on with his duties, praying that he would not be further questioned. "What do you mean, Ramsay? Has your master been specially upset this afternoon? Did anybody call while' we were out?" "Only Miss Rankine, and the doc- tor." "Miss Rankine and the doctor! But why wasn't I told? When did come?" "Miss Rankine came about half - five; and the master, he expressly s 1 was not to ment%n anything to body," said poor Ramsay, now limn eying hopelessly.

You had, b ter stay here --or go to the boud ' I must make him understand the there is more deference owing to than he seems inclined to pay" So saying, and gathering all, h dignity -which was considerab about her, Mrs. Garvock sailed out the room. Lucy went abstractedly on with supper, disturbed in her mind, full of curiosity. Mrs. Garvock straight to the library door, which opened without knocking. There -was only one small lig under a green, shade, burning on desk at which Peter had already seat ed himself. He looked up with e ` dent annoyance at the opening of t door. His mother closed it qui quietly, and stepped forward. "I've come to hear what actuall to-day, Peter," she said i a tone which sounded quite ordinal but which was as quietly determine as Peter's own. "Ramsay has just le man who has none' -who will never have any, for he doesn't know the ele- meets of how to get a livelihood, and I'll take care that he gets no chance in Stair!" The slaw vindictiveness, with which her son spoke chilled the heart of Isabel Garvock. "Oh, Peter, don't talk like that! It makes any blood run cold.. You will get v over it, my dear. There never cofeld have been a blessing with this marriage. It made me very, unhappy all 'along, and I only refrained from saying what I actually thought, be -- cause you seemed so set upon it.

Well, for one thing because it goes to the root of the trouble, Men are blaming the ills of the world to various secondary causes -ignorance, wrong laws, wrong distribution . of wealth, wrong sur- roundings, wrong social customs, and so forth. Now none of these things„ lie at the rootof the matter. At bottom what is wrong is man himself.

It fol- lows that by their system each week day has: its turn as leap year clay once every twenty-eight years. Another anomaly is that Jin a leap• year persons who are paid monthly or quarterly have to give a day's work for < nothing. If the salary is $5,000 a year, tthis means a loss to the worker of $13.70. The State,' in particular,. gains largely through this peculiarity. Pay is also affected by.the calendar in a different manner. We sometimes have fifty-three Saturdays in a year, and consequently most workers , re- ceive an extra week's pay In it. This makes a great difference to bhg, co.r_ porations, as well as to the State.
