With An Eye -Lash in it. :.1
There were saucy girls and teasing
bays as long ago as 1762. The letters
of young William Addison, a relative
of the famous essayist, have only just
found their way into print: letters
written at nineteen to pretty Rose
Wilson when he was in his first year
at Oxford.
."You may thank your Stars you live

told ber in one epistle, "rho I must tell

But his charming • Rose, however
modern in. behavior, was certainly not
of the (tapper type in appearance, for
she had long blond hair in wavy mass-
es and large blue "languishing" eyes.
Naturally he wanted her picture, and,
' though there were no photographs
those days, he meant to have it.
"I have a favor to beg of you Miss
Rosy," he wrote. "You' must know I
have lately become a Painter and

'ATER-y COLOR AT BERMUDA
It was years before, that the young
People . of the Parsonage, who were
from. Nova Scotia, had- askeel ine if I
noticed any- difference in the sky in
Bernu'~da from that alt the north—that
•the colors are seldom brilliant but of
beautiful tints. . Such. shades of
gray and purple!' •
The clear blue- of the sky, and the
variety of soft colors are, almost as
frequently commented upon by visitors
as the weather is everywhere.
,The bright moonlight . • ofteat
dims the stars in 'Bermuda, like the
harvest moon of September and Oc-
tober-in
c-toberin the northern latitudes,.
Two pictures coma ±n, my mind. One
of the'sew moon with a golden tinge,
and the stars ll like gems in a silvery
blue setting; the other of the nights
like those Dr. Thompson describes in
Palestine, "when one seems to look
quite to the bottom. of heaven's pro-
foundest aaui+e where the everlasting,
stars abide!"
There may be times in Bermuda
when the, southern coloring is absent
from sea and sky. . . One must
search far indeed to find such colors
in the water as those that ean be seen
at Bermuda. These. Ii;.te islands are
only a part of our beautiful world..
There are other hilts and valleys, .
there are other shies more attractive
when taken alone. . . . But- the
waters of the Atlantict, as they sur-
round Bermuda and fill its bays and
harbors, are almost matchless in bril-
ilancy and change of color, both in
sunshine and cloudy weather. When
calm they are beautiful, but when the
wind plays upon them, or the storm
tosses them about, they are grandly
so. To .watch them is to be fascinated,
At times the change reminds one of
the kaleidoscope, at others the. change
of color and the play of light all sug-
gest the purest &ems.
I had watched the sea and the sky
until I thought I knew that a blue sky
is not always reflected in the water,
and that sometimes when the water is
very blue, the sky is quite gray.' • One
morning I stood on the wharf where
the. water in the harborseemed as if
part of the cloudless firmament Of a
companion, I asked, "Why is the water
so blue?" "It is the reflection of the
sky," was the answer..:
Sometime afterward. . . the colors
go after him now."
I was just going to suggest finding
her a taxi to drive her home, forget-
ting the peculiarities of the case,
when from the four corners of Shep-
herd's Market, detached themselves
men. They were strange, foreign -
looking 1t:in men, in ready-made clothes,
o g o made c.o es, .
except"one, who, like ourselves, was!
dressed in fashionable garb. When
they were quite close, the woman in
a low tone remarked: "No. 5."
The men were staring at ine. So,'
determined to see this to the end, I'
murmured: "No. 9."
`Right," said one of the men in -a
low tone. "Now, do you mind." I
found that a bandage was being slip-
pedever my eyes, but as I had hail
time to see another handkerchief be-
ing made ready to blindfold :ivy coin-
panion, I did not resist, Besides, the.
men in evening clothes volunteered
an explanation in the shape of a
question:. 'I suppose your committee
always bli.ndfo:ds friends from an-
other districts"

men and women of mature years, who

that the dolor of the water is so bright,
when the sky is dull. . All eyes• looked
at a pale sky, with scarcely a tinge of
blue, and at the water, to find it a mar-
velous blue. The eldest lof the party
said, "The color ie in that water." .

MOVEMENT OF
.BRITISH YOUTH
From all' indications Canada will
benefit very materially this year
through the .addition to her popu1a
tion and farming iudustry of a num-
ber of teen-age boys, of different class-
es moved from the British Isles
through a variety of channels. O it
of the greater attention devoted to
matters of immigration both in Can-
ada and the British Isles kale come a
geeater appreciation of the value of
the Britielb youth as an immigrant. In
the Dominion it has always been real-
ized that serious economio wastage re-
sulted .from the fact that young men
came from overseas to engage in Cana-
dian farming generally when their
most assimilable and receptive years
were past, often Alterfruitless years
in the pursuit of callings for which
:they found theni,selves unsuited or dile-
inclined, and cosequently achieving
farming success only after overcoming
numerous handicaps which might have
been avoided. This has resulted In
tho ' formation 01,• v" itrious schemes .in
Canada for the movement of British
y outli directly from schools to the
commencement of an agricultural car -
ser.
The Imperial Government, prompted
by the same realization last year, es- -
tablished training schools in various
parts of the United Kingdom where
young men might receive ascertain pre-
liminary training in the farming meth-
ods
ethods of the overseas Dominion to en-
able
nable them to move straight to employ-
ment on farms. The first .group of .
forty of these, who have received six
months'' training in elementary farm
work, moved to Canada in March, and
have been distributed to farms in vara
our parte of the country.
Course at Macdonald College.
Before the opening oft spring the
second group of English secondary
school boys to move under the scheme
arranged jointly between the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway and Macdonald
College had arrived in Canada and en-
tered upon the preliminary short agri-
cultural course at the college.. *They
have graduated from this to specially
selected farms in Quebec province
where, efficiently supervised and earn-
ing good wages., they are receiving a
more practical training. At the same
time the -similar Alberta arrangement
for the movement of secondary school
boys from England, known as the
"Hoadley Scheme," is expected to he
continued and in -the coiirse of theyear
put into training for future farm man-
agership. and ownership a ntimber of
youths of this class:
As a result of .ariangemeuts Which
have been concluded between the Gov-
ernment dt Ontario,: the Federal Gov •
-
ernment, and the Imperial authorities,
some three hundred English youths,
between the ages of fifteen and seven-
teen, will move to the Vilna. Ridge
farm in in Ontario, where they will be
properly trained in farm work of all
kinds, and afterwards,• when they have
acquired sufficienteexperience, will be
sent to different farmers inthe pro-
vince.wiio may have need of their -ser-
vices. The initial success of this
scheme, which has just been inaugur-
ated, will, it is expected, result in a
greater flow of Britishyouth to On-
tario in succeeding years.
Organizations Aiding Movement.
Other movements ''of young l3ritisli-
ere to Canadian farms will he mark'
edly stimulated in- 1926 by reason of
more favorable general conditions. Al-
berta is expecting between 1,006 and
1,500 young men from the United
Kingdom, moved by the Land Settle-
ment Board, to undertake farm work
in the proviifbe and later graduate to
establishments of their own. The Sal-
vateon Army expects to move at least
six hundred boys, to bass through its
farm labor service centre in Ontario
and be placed on farms to reoetve fur-
ther practical training.. May move-
ments of lesser volume will in the year
contribute to swelling the number of
British youth to move to Canadian
farms fo'r training for future farm own-
ershfp,
It has always been recognized that
an ed•u.cation in Canadian farm meth- •
ods is so advisable as to be practically
indispensable in the
tills case of all 'Bri-
tish immigrants, Whether with capital
or otherwie, and it has 'increasingly
been realized that the earlier the stage
at which this training is received the
more valuable It is. The most efficient
and at the same time economic agri-
celtural education is : that of practical
farm labor In which .the pupil receives
good wages whilst learning a new and
intricate 'profession.
