"How if I had not been here?" he asked and looked at me so queerly I had the strangest feeling that it was something like the way I had looked at him when he was tiny and I was watching over him. As we sat and visited that evening, he asked me all sorts of questions: "When do you get out in the air, Mother?" "Why, when I feed my chickens," "How about Sundays?" "We drive to church sometimes, if the horses haven't been worked too hard during the week." (Continued in next issue.) Ofinard's Liniment For Burne, Etc.

There are certain healing lotions that every housewife slloukkl have in the medicine chest, as the ingredients for some of the beat lotions are found in nearly every home and take but little time to prepare. An excellent lotion for sore or chaff- ed stn is made by mixing to a paste a heaping teaspoonful of boric powder, little cane hor and a cupful of melt- a ed mutton tallow. Allow to stand until cold, and when wanted for use, heat a small amount and rub well into the skin. To keep the hands in good con- ditiion, rub a little of this mixture over them before retiring, covering the bands with old loose kid gloves. Use a little cornmeal with the soap when washing the hands during the day. A weak solution of boric powder and warm water is excellent to apply to slight cuts and wounds, and if used at once is all that is needed, as it is a fine antiseptic and cleanser. It is a good plan to keep a bottle of the solu- tion ready for use. For burns, bind scraped raw potato onto the burn, renewing when dry. The potato pulp furnishes the moisture which the burn has taken out and re- lieves the burning sensation. For a sprain, bathe well with hot vinegar and salt solution, or with one pint of hot water in which one table- spoonful of epsom salts has been dis- solved. For sore or inflamed eyes there nothing better than a boric acid pow- der solution. In fact, it is the very thing which a doctor will prescribe for sore eyes. Take two-thirds of a cup- ful of warm water and dissolve it in one-fourth teaspoonful of boric acid powder. Wash the eyes with the solu- tion, using either an eye cup or a soft cloth. If a child's mouth is washed out twice daily with a weak boric solution, it will be less susceptible to infant dis- eases. If the child's eyes are weak or sore, this same solution will be found beneficial. An excellent healing liniment for bad cuts and wounds of all kinds is I made with one part liquid carbolic acrid, four parts glycerine and six ! parts sweet oil. It is just as valuable 7 among the stock as in the home.

THE SKIES Wonders of the Universe Made Known by Astrono- mical Photography "Skyseapes" are rapidly becoming one of the meet remarkable features of the autumn eidLibitions of photo- graphs. They funnels a striking intii- (melon of the strides being made in astronomical photography. Some of the most interesting of sxuxh pictures aro tlxcse of the Moon. It is i+ow usually tr.ken in sections,. and the results seen to upset mauy theories. Some astronomers hold, ,for instance, that there Is .still volcanic action in the moor, and that it is, therefore, inaccurate to call it a dead world. One authority indeed, believes- that elievesthat there is vegetation on it. :Photographs of the sun are more re- markable for scientific value than for genenal interest. Those of eclipsere are so important that a few years ago no fewer than five English ex- peditions went to various countries round the Mediterranean specially to photograph ono. Still, the views of the sun that are taken daily ---and this. is rountine work at some observator les—prove that it is continuouslY changing. Why the Heavens are Photographed.. Stellar photographs, however, are both valuable and interesting. They may be taken direct or through a tele- scope. By either method the appar- atus must be driven by clockwork to counteract the apparent notion of the stars, or, as a long exposure is necessary, those bodies are represent- ed on the plate by streaks, and not dots. Actually of course, it is we who are whirling through space. Within limits, the number of stars which can be photographed on a plate is in proportion to the length of the exposure. If plate after plate is, ex- posed gradually increasing periods. the time soon comes when every star visible in the most powerful telescope is recorded; but if the exposure be still further increased, more and more stars will be added to those already . photographed on the earlier plates. These are stars of extraordinary in- terest. Never has the eye of pian seen them. Perhaps the light ,from. them has been travelling towar lS the earth for thousands of years," end, though still moving in our directihe--te with a velocity of 186,000 miles a second, will not bo visible from this planet in our life -time. There is a still stranger probabil- ity. It is not at all unlikely t)iet by mens - of a long exposure to ;: 4...y photograph a star which vanished be- fore Man began to inhabit the earth. Amazing is the number of stars which thus indicate their presence in the heavens. In a certain part of the stellar regions only 200,000 could be charted by telescopy, whereas photo- graphs discovered and recorded in exactly the same area more than two millions. Photography has in this way alone added enormously to our knowledge of the stars. It has perhaps been most valuable in other directions. Sonie years ago it was pressed into service to determine the distance of our nearest neighbour in the heavens, 61 Cygni, and it supported the con- clusion that that distance is between forty billion and sixty billion miles. province A further service has been rendered " The Gift to one that all etejoy.

The number of electrons contained in the package varies with different kinds of matter. In an atom of iron, for example, it is not the same as in an atom of oxygen. But the substance composing the electrons is always the same. It is the substance out of which all things are made—the fundamental structure material of the universe. The electrons inside of the atom are always in motion at an -astonishing speed. They are travelling at a rate of 90,000 miles a second, or even faster. Thus the term "atomic energy" may be to some extent comprehended. Sir Oliver Lodge, famous physicist, re- cently said that the atomic energy ' contained in one ounce of matter would sumee to lift all the warships sunk by the Germans at Scapa Flow out of the water, an.d place them on tlaopnd. of the highest mountains in Scot - Obviously, if we could find out how to utilize even a small fraction of this energy our civilization would be re- volutionized.

For some years a gas—to which was given the name of helium, or the sun element—was not known to exis anywhere except in the sun; but tine mately it, too, proved to be an element at the earth as well. ' For these and other reasons the heavens are now photographed regu- larly and systematically. At Harvard alone as many as 6,000 stellar photo- graphs have been taken in a year, and an enormous amount of similar work has been done at other obser- vatories, as well as by amateurs, some of whom have obtained valuablo re- sults. - What's the Best Diet? Vegetarians have often argued that a meat diet rendered human beings more combative and brutal, On the other hand, it has been declared that vegetarianism was productive of mol- Iycocldles. But the argument does not seen to work out satisfactorily either way. There is no more peaceful and lits, less man than the eskiino, yet he is almost exclusively a flesh eater tut willcommonly consume ten pounde.;of meat per day.
