:PONY
When I. was a small bey, bath I and:
most -other bays of my own age end
period—the mighty • mid-Victorian—
were wont to indulge in a day -dream
of wiideet audacity—to Wit. that on
some wonderful'birthday morning one
would be awakened by the sound of a
pawing and a -crunching of the gravel
-outside, that one would spring from
bed with beating heart, would fling
wide the lattioe.windew, and looking
down woult see on the carriage:drive
a neatly attired groom holding .the
bridle of a peerless pee& a cream -col-
ored liony—it was al• cream -color-
ed -with a long flowing tail (it always
had a long flowing tail). 1 fled, ' after
delicate and •tactful inquiry among
boys of the present generation, that
much the same daring dream is apt to
taunt them as birthdays draw near—
with a slight. difference due to the
change of faction mentioned above,
They. too, hope to be awakened by
that sante crunching of gravel outside;
they ,too, expect to springdelightedly
from bed and fling the casement wide.
What their enraptured eyes, however,
are, no'N to look down upon is a peer-
less cream -colored motor -car with a
long flowing•wlteel-base; or at the very
least, a snorting and quivering young
motorcycle. The visions, you see. are
essentially the same; and doubtless
the •Iatter is as rarely realized ae ever
the former -was.
We conte now to the last of my il-
lustrations—the child's ideal of per-
sonal property, of those wonderful pos-
ssions
see which he dares to dream may
possibly come his way, • through the
medium of some happy stroke of for-
-tune, of an Arab jinni suddenly emerg-
ing out of a bottle, or of a fat and
old godfather suddenly emerging out of
a train. Now it may be perfectly true
that a cream -colored pony no longer
says very much to any of us, at our
time of ,life. But—bust—now reinem
ber. we are in the confessional to -day
—but—how about that cream -colored
motor -car? And is not that car of our
dreams a Super -Rolls-Royce, and is
there another one on the righroads of
Europe or America that can compare
'with it for speed. for perfeotion of
springs, for immunity from break-
downs?
Dreams of Youth.
Then again, there are some `men to
whom T should much like to put this
question privately, as soon as I knew
them well enough: At about what
period of your life was it—when you
were, say, thirty, :or forty. or fifty—
that you sadly but finally laid aside
that vision of the ideaa steam yacht—
the
achttlhe wonderful vessel in which you
were wont to visit all the ports and
harbors of the world, to lie off tropical
islands or breast the long Atlantic
rollers, a>? on the same evening? But
perhaps you have never really . laid
your steam yacht, you will stick to
' it through thick and thin, and you el -
w
ways mean- to ? If so, you are fortun---
ate indeed. ever let it go. It costs
nothing, it has no rivals while afloat;
but once it hats• struck on the rocks of
fact and foundered in deep water, it
can never be raised'' to • the surface
again.
But perhaps the most usual shape
which the cream -colored pony assumes
in grown-up dreams is that of the ideal.
house, estate, country property, al-
ways just the right period 'of architec-
ture,' just the proper soil, just the cor-
rect distance. from town, and furnish-
ed, equipped, staffed and managed, just
as we, and.' we alone of all people,
could . do the thing if we had the
chance. Now this is never an ignoble
dream, for nothing responds so gener-
ously to care, love, and expenditure as
a noble house or estate, or fasitns: it-
self so closely about the roots of the
heart. In this dream, fantasy almost
disappears, but beauty has fullest and
finest play. Few unworthy desires find
room for glowgth here. and one may
even end a wiser and 'a better man
after the enjoyment of a mansion only
built in cloud -land. Sometimes, in-
deed, it is no question of ideal sky -
building at all; far the place may be in

With a whir and a hum
I hear him come
To rob my flowers
In the sunny hours;
But all I can see
Is a tiny head,
With a long, sharp bill
And a flash of red;
Whilea whir of wings
Hides all the rest,
As he visits the blossoms
He likes the best,
Down the path
Where the hollyhocks
Grow near the larkspur
• And fragrant: phlox.
But none know the touch
Of his tiny. feet,
As he darts- about
Draining nectar sweet,
From each flower cup
Or the heart of,a rose.
Like a flash, he has gone—
Where? '.No one knows.

Secrets of Science.
By David Dietz.
Geological Time, as we have, Been,
is estimated at 800,000,000. years. Of
this time, the first 400,000,000 years
were consumed by the.first. two eras,
the Archeozoic and Proterozoic.
That means that•over half of the
history of the earth -passed before life
had emerged beyond the simplest
stage.
The oldest rock formations now
found upon the earth belong to the
Archeozoic. Nowhere does the .gee-
logist find any rock formation which:
he thinks eonstitilted the :crust of the
earth at the close of the formative
period.
These oldest rocks are bent and
twisted out of shape. They have been
squeezed into metamorphic rocks by
the 'intense pressure of great earth
movements.
No trace of fossil forms is found
in any of these rocks. Some geologists
think that there was no life at all in
this era.
But the majority are inclined to
think that life existed in ,this area.
They think, however, that only the
simplest sort of microscopic Atte—
one -celled animals and plants like the
present-day amoeba—existed.
Overlying' the ,Archeozoic rocks, we
find the rocks. of the next era, the
Proterozoic.
Geologists believe that there were
f brown alga known by the picturesque
grows on the bottom of the North Sea.
two great periods of severe cold or
glacial periods in the course of the
Proterozoic Era.
Slight traces of life occur at the
close of the Proterozoic Era. These
are vestiges of simple marine plants
called algae, the flinty shells of min-
ute one -celled marine animals, called
radiolara, and marks that are taken
to be the tracks of worms that wallow-
ed in the primal mud.
The chief reason for believing that
life existed prior •to this is based upon
the fact that deposits of graphite and
of red and black oxide of iron are
found in these early rocks.
The beds of graphite are taken to
be the remains of marine plants. And
the presence of the iron oxides leads
to the belief that certain types of
bacteria known as the iron forming
bacteria existed then,
Another reason for believing that,
life existed during this period is that
a great variety of fossils are found
in the rocks of the next era, the
Paleozoic Era., These must have
evolved from simpler forms of pre-
existent life. _
It is. assumed that the great majority
of life forms in these early days had
no skeletons or shells. Hence when
they died, nothing remained which
could be- preserved in the rocks as
fossils. '

Life.
The Orchards—at Last!
We were more' than eager to make
Wolfville without further delay, to get
into the land of Evangeline we had
come to see.
I was weary of vicarious glimpses of
the apple -trees, and I knew that if we
didn't soon find them in their bright
abundance we should feel cheated. So
without stopping at bustling= Kentvi'lle
we allo'�yed our train to carry us on to,
this important. stop. Just as you meet
some people for the. first time, look
into their.•eyes, and like them, you
couldn't help being charmed with this
village the moment you stepped upon
the station platform.
Perhaps it was the approach to the
tewn that helped to give us so. warm a
feeling for it; for the apple -orchards
were thick and glorious soon after we
got out of Bridgetown. . It was -like
finding oneself suddenly in a cloud of
bloom. What drifts of wonder en
veloped us! It is a-trange and beauti-
ful sensation, to be in se deep .an or-
chard thee one cannot see where it be
gins or •ends—something like sailing
on a. pink and white 'ocean of tenuous
blossoms, with no coast -line to tell
just when the journey will be over. All
around us that magical purity, that
glory of color and dream. It was as if
we had wandered in a fairy-tale, the
world well lost. 'What drifts of beauty,
*hat Niagaras of wonder poured their
radiance upon us! We'were melted in
Joy, bathed in dazzling beauty. Show-
ers of radiance surrounded us, . and
through the pink -white blossoms we
could ,see shafts of sunlight falling;
and now and then a Rake of the loveli-
ness fell upon us, as though a atar had
lightly touched us on' the:shoulder.
Oh, those clean blossoms! To be. so
magically among them, to have them
over us, like clouds and drifts of snow,
making a very heaven ofthegood
earth.
There are moments too wonderful to
tell of. It seemed to me that all the
magic of all time dwelt in these rich
orchards, that never d at 1 ver cont

for
anything mere than y g the marvel of. tlan-
derieg through these :aisles Of beauty,
U

�a is could last
magic forever! If this white
glory would n.eve,r end, this moment
abide always- It was s a prosaic whistle

tie' pink barnacle, about the Size of a

thing cast into the water, The Japan-
ese put in :little twigs and sticks, and
when these have become covered with
the pinkish shells they mat them to-
gether between bamboo poles and
make of them a fence that looks like
a wall of mother-of-pearl. It is the
most beautiful, the most ethereal, the
frailest structure that it is possible to
imagine, and yet you see blocks of
this fence along a public highway, on
which thousands of little boys pass
and play, every day.
And it isn't touched. Get that? A
small boy and a mother-of-pearl fence,
existing at one and the same time and
in the.same place! I regard that as
the chlefest of all the marvels of Jap-
an. I reflected that such a fence would
last about three minutes in America,
but, being., of an optimistic nature, I
probably exaggerated the time limit.
Japanese children are the soul of
courtesy. Wherever you meet a group
of them they stop still and throw up
their skinny little arms above their
heads and shout out: "Banzai- 0 enjin-
san!" which means, "Hurrah, honor-
able stranger, may you live ten thous-
and years." And sometimes they be-
gin reciting the alphabet, and •call af-
ter you a, b, c, d, e, f to show that they
are studying English, for English is
aught in all the Japanese schools.
Japanese children never cry. They
ever howl, or fight, ,or make any- of
the nerve-racking noises that cause
everyone who has to live with Ameri-
can children to pray for deafness.
What a pity we cannot give the Japan-
ese our religious ideas and scientific
du.catlon and receive in exchange
their ideas of politeness and the man -
gement of children!

Preparatione are•now in progress for
what will probably be the greatest pil-
grimage in world history—the$15,000;
000 members of the American Legion,
who eaw'service -in the Great War, to
the United States cemeteries in
France.
"The "Legionaries" will land . in
Prance in Septemb-e-r, 1827, just ten .G
years after Amerloan troops received
their baptism -of fire. The Tenth Con-

Paris,- and will be followed by a pil-
grimage to the Argonne batrtleflelds
and cemeteries, after which the tour-
ists- can do whrat they like.
Twenty-seven liners are to carry this
great artily of pilgrims across the At-
lantic, and it is estimated that about
two-thirds of them will travel on Bri-
tish ships. England may also benefit
by the pilgrimage in other ways, as a
large number of the ex -soldiers wily
probably i

returning to the States.
Savings banks have been started by
the Legion, to help the men to save for
the trip. any of the Legionaries will,
travel 12,000 miles, and,, though spe-
cial "rock bottom" fares have been ar-
ranged, it is reckoned that the average
cost of the pilgrimage will work out at
$500.

The average man or woman does not
enjoy consistent good health. Loss of
appetite, headaches, biliousness and a
lack of enthusiasm for •either work or
play are constant complaints.
Scientists have ascertained that such,
a condition is usually caused by self-
poisoning resulting from constipation.
Due to modern living habits, the
natural secretion which promotesregu-
lar elimination by softening the bowel
contents, is often deficient—especially
among middle-aged people. The poison
from waste matter remaining in the
systems of people thus affected is the
insidious enemy of good health.
Nu Such people need Nujol, because

CARRIED

by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Minesing, Ontario.— "I am a prac-
tical nurse and I recommend Lydia
E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound to
suffering women. For three months
I was almost helpless and could not
sit at the table long enough to -drink
a cup of tea. Many a time my hus-
band carried me to bed, I would be
so weak. Then he read in the paper
of a woman suffering as I did who
got better after taking the Vegetable
Compound, so he went and got it for
me. When I had taken three bottles
I was just like a new woman and
have had splendid health ever since.
When I feel any bearing .down pains
I always take it; sometimes a half
bottle or whatever I need.,It is my
only medicine and I have tod many a
one about it. Any one 'wanting to
know more about Lydia E. Pipkham's
'Vegetable Compound I will gladly
write to her. I do -all I can to rec-
ommend it for I feel I owe relife
and strength to it." — Mrs. NEAL
BowsER, R. R. 1, Minesing, Ontario.
Do you feel broken-down, nervous,
and weak sometimes? Do you have '
this horrid feeling of ferir which some-
times comes to women when they are
not well? Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Compound is excellent to take
at such a time. It always helps, and
if taken regularly and persistently
will relieve this condition. t; _
