The Really Im portant Time in Early Life is When Baby Begins to Think for Himself. • All mothers will tell you that their babies are very_. wise. They abound in an instinctive wisdoni•, which, being given to them naturally at birth, has as its main objective the obtaining of exactly `what they want. For this purpose in early days the Iungs are employed fregifently and fully, but gradually the little one be - gine, to think and act for himself. It Issheer deIiight to all parents to watch this development, the stages of which can be marked by the baby's power to da certain things, and to puzzle out problems which, to the ,infant mind, are full of pitfalls. Wise =them will tell you that as oon a% baby is born you oan tell ar ether he is mentally perfect by put- ting some small round object—it used i intheolddays— into y into the wee open palm. If baby im- mediately : closes his chubby fingers tightly over the ;treasure—well, you have no further need t� worry about the little - one's mental powers; he is certain to be fully equipped in that re- spect. Smiles and Tears. A really -healthy baby should begin ,to take an intelligent interest in things when about sixenonths old. At -this age, if a watch is put to his ear, he should 'smile, and as soon as the "tick -tick" : is taken. away his sound lungs should come into play. Between the sixth and ninth months baby should be found trying to lift things for himself, and as the first an- niversary of his -birth comes round he should be able to lift quite heavy toys - and other things, which were never intended to be toys at all, and quite easily. Also he should be beginning to reason for himself. . At this age a child will copy a par- ent who sounds a note on the piano, and will begin to see the connection between the striking of the note and the "noise" which follows. 'Then, again, his little mind should now be able to tackle problems. He should be able to understand that, if one of his small toys is put inside a box in his presende, and the,ild closed down, the treasure is not irretrievable. If the lid is not too heavy and does not stick, baby, after tinkering with it for a bit, during which time he is turn- ing the problem over in his mind, should try to open, it. Learning_ to Tali. Now, of course, comes -the most in- teresting of all periods in baby's growth.' He learns to speak, and copies everything that is said, select- ing, it, possible, the longest word in- any nany sentence to repeat, Baby's mind is still keeping astride of his develop- ment in other directions, and at eigh- teen months he should begin to point out and name animals and so, an; pic- tures of which an. shown him in books. At this stage the child memory is continually coming into tee, and every week you find that baby remembers things for a longer period. So the gradual development of the little brain goes on until the time comes for the child to go to school and learn terribly big things out of specially -prepared books. And who shall saythat the earlier "education" 'of the home is not more important than the mere formai studies of the school. Countries Out of Shape. Modern map -makers regard the maps mads a few hundred years ago as great curiosities ---and so they are, yet every atlas published in the twien- tieth century borrows an idea from. the fifteenth century. It is known as Mercator's projection. As a rule, the map of the world is represented in our atlas in two forms —first the tarep hemispheres side by side, with America and the Pacific oc- cupying almost the whole of one, and the rest of• the continenterand oceans nearly the Whole of the other. But the two circles •are difficult of mental ad- justment, as ;they require to be placed back to back to represent the actual geography of the globe. This difficulty was recognized by a famous geographer named Gerardus Mercator. He Originated the system, still `follti ed.of drawingthe w ,. map of the world as though the globe were flat, having all the meridians of longi- 'WE WANT CHURNING REA We'"supply Cana and pay express charges.

Nevertheless, the advantages of this projection, named after Mercator, are obvious. Saving the Buffalo. Many people retail `Buffalo Bill." He got his 'name from his prowess as a hunter of the American bison. Hee I and others,'alniost exterminated' this magnificent beast, which, within the memory of many flow tying, roamed the prairies of the United States and Canada in vast herds. To -day the only buffalos left in the United States are preserved in Yellow-, stone Park; but in Canada, where there is more room, the buffalo is— like-ly to become a national asset and a source of revenue. It is estimated that there are in Canada 10,000 head of buffalo, and 'their preservation 1 i tion is due to the .tato Lord Strathcona, who, nearly fifty years ago, collected a small herd for his estate near Winnipeg. They flour- ished and increased, and 'Were bought, by the Government to stock time na- tional' park at Bailif,. in the' Rookies.

It is literally true concerning"wo- man in the home that her work is never done. She starts with house- work when she rises in the morning and is kept busy up to the time she retires at night. The work must be done whether she is feeling well or not. It is no wonder that she often breaks down under the strain. She becomes breathless at slight exertion, feels exhausted if she walks up stairs. Headaches and dizzy s•pelle become frequent, and life seems a burden. Much of this trouble is due' to the fact that her blood has become thin and watery, and to regain her good• health she must take a reliable blood -enrich- ing tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The great value of this tonic medicine is shown by the, statement of Mrs. Mary Nolan, LintlaSv, ,Sask., who says "When I began. using Dr. ,Williams' Pink Pills I:was .a physical wreck. It was with great difficulty that I could do light housework. I suffered from headaches, my heart would beat violently at the least exertion, and I always felt tired and depressed. I did not sleep well at night, and I had no appetite -my limbs would swell as in - dropsy. It was at this stage that- a neighbor advised me to take Dr: Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I had used thepills for some weeks before T began to feel their benefit, and thus encouraged I continued taking them for several months, when 'I was again as strong and well as ever I had been. I have no hesitation in saying that these pills are a remarkable blood builder and strength renewer and I shall ever be grateful for what they did for me." 'You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Tit for Tat.

Gloves have a curious anecdotage'of their own, especially in regard to their use as symbols. Perhaps the fact that gloves were an important item in the growth of luxury during the age :of, chivalry has something to do with their prominence over all other artic- les of wear in regard to symbolic use.. Gloves adorned with rubies and sap- phires, and perfumed gloves from Spain, were part of the outfits of wealthy people at an early period in our history, and stories of the convey- ance of poison through -richly orna- mented gifts of this sort brought with them the 111-omeden phrase of "poison- ed gloves." Naturally the poets took an early op- portunity of making a prettier use of this article of apparel, and "0 that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that- cheek!" was only one of many •--conceits. of -_a similar kind. From this it was a short step to the granting of a lady's glove to her cava- lier as a symbol of his championship, and the prize of the Queen of Beauty's glove in tournaments. The symbolism of the glove ' was. Used again between men at variance. A common way of provoking an enemy to a duel was to flick a glove across the face. A glove, too, was sometimes a mark of fealty between friends, Then there was, the custom of flinging down a glove to be taken up in de- fiance, of which the last relic in thiA country was the challenge of the. King's Champion to all and sundry at a coronation, Another form 01boli n m s y s r has, passed into our proverbs with Cow i",per'e "As if the world and they were hand and glove." Again, we have the ,phrases- about "kid-glovediplomacy" and "kid -glove inetifeds," which inay be set against that "mailed` flat" of which we heard too much in",tin first year of this century, right Weevil With Airplane.

She (to tourist)—"I suppose. out on the great lonely -ocean the crying of the seamews-is very sad?" He -"Yes; but nothing like as. af- fecting as ffecting-as the blubber of the whales." A Tulchan. In this seventeenth century—two hundred years ago—the dairymen of Scotland, when ever they had an un- ruly cow which refused to let down her milk to the milker, would bring out a tulchan, by means of which they completely deceived the animal, and induced her to give her milk to the dairymaid freely. A tulchan was simply a calf -skin stuffed with hay in a rude manner. This imitation calf was brought,. its head bent under the cow, and while the mother thought her young one was drawing off_the milk, it was, in reality, the cunning milkmaid who was doing so. In 1617, Icing James, as Carlyle, in his Croniw:e l's Letters, tells us, ap- pointed certain men for certain duties -In Scotland. The 'Scotch were very much opposed to these new appoint- ments, for the object of them was to deceive the people and to drain the money away from them. For this reason, the Scotch gave these new appointees the name of tul- chans—pieces of political mechanism constructed by Parliament and the King's Council, to deceive the poor Scotch and "milk" them of their re- venue. In life, there are, alas, tulchan friends and tulchan friendships, even unto this day. Many a Iad is decoyed 'into evil by tulchan promises and pro- fessions. What sort of friends are these? Real ones?. A thousand times no. They are "tulcbans"—false—a mere similitude of the te=ch. Beware of them, while. they are beguiling you. Satan may step in and make you his prey When bad men try to win the hearts of others, • the j make all sorts of pro- fessions and use all sorts of specious arguments; but their words are tul- chan stuffed with 2. lsehood and 'meant to cheat.
