That is the. Wolf Cub idea. In 1914, in response to continual de - mends from boys under 12 years of age for admission to Boy Scout troops, Sir Robert Baden-Powell answered with the plans for the organization of the Wolf Cubs. And in doing so the Great Father of Scouting also met the need for a scheme of recreational edu- cation that would teach the small boy those first lessons in loyalty to the right, self-control, respect for authori, ty and kindness to others, that are the toeadation of good-oitizeushlp. The programme at the Welt Cubs, Paralleling the plan of Scouting for older boys, has been built up about the natural activities and impulses of the boy dt eight to twelve years of age., The small boy likes to play at welt, or bear; barklug, growling; pur- suing, being pursued, Very well, let him play at wolf and you play at welt With him. And into the play weave the fundamentals of .loyalty (to his Pack). obedience (giving in to the Qld Wolf), and self-control (not gin- ing in to himself). In a few words,', this is the theory of the Wolf Cubs, Wolf Cub organizations and pack may be formed in a manner similar to the way In. which Boy Scout troops are formed. Instead of a Scoutmaster' there is a Cubmaster, tylia may be either a man or a, woman, and Instead of a Troop Committee there is a Pack Committee.

In order to see the elephant at bis best, says a writer, you must go to India. There be is used as a beast of burden, and his intelligence comes out Strikingly. He is said to be the only animal that will warn unattended. But tor all that he Is not fond of labor, tor lie will keep an eye an the boss, and when the whistle blows he will drop whatever he Is doing and run for the feeding place --a trait that he is saki to share with some human creatures, We do not believe that animals, Intel - II t ntel-ligent as they often are, have tiuito the sense of humor that human beings bane; yet here is an authenticated story of one small elephant's prank that clearly paints to a sort ot mis- chievious humor. A mother elephant was dragging from one spot to another in a ship- yard an extraordinarily heavy timber that she had been unable to pick up. Two chains were fastened to her col- lar, eaoh joined to a huge hook, which. was fastened into the end of the log, As she toiled along with her burden. her half-grown baby elephant 'walked beside . her. She cane at last to an incline where she had to exert her entire strength to drag the log up; and while Surnames and Their Origin CROTHERS Variations—Crowthers, Crowder. Racial Origin—English. Source—An occupation. Few persons in tials country who bear the family navies of Crowthers, Crowther or Crowder knew that these names are the same, or what they mean, for the word from which they have been taken, thqugll a colnlnon one in the middle ages, at the period when family names first 'made their appearance, has long since been obsolete. The "crouth" or "crowd" of medieval England was a musical -instrument, a six -stringed affair, nearer in appear- ance to the cello than to any other of our modern instruments in the violin class. The "crouther," "crowtber or "crowder," of course, was the man who played it. Most often he was a travelling musician, playing profitably at local fairs and in the castles of the nobility. The surnames arose first through the habit of•referring to "Geoffrey le Crouther" or ".Roger le Crowder," and as sons very often followed the sante calling as their fathers, it is easy to see how the surname, at first descrip- tive, being passed down from father to son, finally lost its descriptive signifi- cance, and came to be,a distinguishing family name, in a period when the population of the country was growing so rapidly,. and intercommunication between various communities increas- ing so as to make the bearing of more she was leaning forward the baby ele- phent suddenly dropped back, caugbt the hook with his truuk and yanked it out of the log. The result was that the old elephant was thrown forward on iter head, with her heels up in the air. The little elephant made straight- way for the woods near by, as hard as he could gallop, The mother got herself together quickly. ;', looked . o ok ell all round and started after' the youngster, with her trunk upraised. She caught up with him in the woods; and the men working at the shipyard d heard his squeals ls as her er trunk descended on hint again and again. Finally the two of them re- appeared; the little elephant was wanting dejectedly at his mother's heels and holding to her tail, i Soothes tired nerves.

RHEUMATIC PAINS HAVE D IAP S PEARED As a Result of Treating the Trouble Through the Blood, The chief symptom of rheumatism is pain, The most successful treatment is the one that most quickly* relieves and banishes the pain, Many rheu- matic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up tbe blood; when rheumatism is associated with thin blood it cannot be corrected un til tbe blood is built up. Mr, Ed. Hall, Main-a•Dieu, N.S., sut fered from rheumatism for years, but was more tortunate than many vie thus of the disease, for he found a remedy time so built up his entire system that lie is now free from rbeu- lnatisln. Mr. Hall says: "I was taken down with rheumatism, and attimes was under the treatment ot several of the best doctors In Cape Breton, but they held out no hope for my re- covery front the trouble. I was con- fined to bed for three years and a helpless cripple from the trouble. I could not move, and had to be turned in sheets. My legs and fingers were drawn out et shape, and sores level oped on my body as the result of my long confinement to bed. I was In this serious condition when a friend advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I began taking them. The first benefit I felt from the pilis was an improved appetite, and then I be- gan gan to feel stronger, and was finally As proving the very real efficiency and desirability of the mechanical' way of washing die hes, a aeries of tests recently conducted by a resident of White Plains, N.Y., are extremely interesting, The electrical dishwash- er was placed in this particular home on trial, and the skeptical "prospect" started his tests with a determination to prove the general worblessneee at the device. Count was made of tbe number .of pieces of tableware used by the fatuity of two adults and two small children, for carie meal, and the opera- tions of handling and washing, both' by hand and by machine, also were counted and tinted, It wan found. iuthernore, that the machine's capacity for weebing tbe in- side at bottles was more than human. and that greasy pots and, pans, with. the' std of a washing powder supplied witlt the apparatus, promptly became spotless without any of the usual un- pleasant effort. As the machine's ca- ;pacity was su li tient for the dishes at two meals, it was a simpe matter to reduce the number of operations still further, Aa a result, the houses ire's total gain amounted to two hours a day, ex' even more. The Future of Brazil. Brazil, which is most wholly in the tropics, has the opportunity to ui`set the belief that no people can reach the very highest civilization In a tropi cal climate. The census, Just com- pleted, credits tinezil with 20,600,000 people, which. makes It the second American country in point of imputa- tion. Some modern men of science,. most of them British, maintain that when naenns .have been found to uti- lize the heat at the sun as mechanical energy the tropic will become centres of production and therefore of civili- zation. If that should be true, what country could match. Brazil, with its great resources of minerals, timber and land, and its great navigable rivers?

Racial Orig i n --Norman-French. Source—A sobriquet. This is one of those family names tracing directly to a Norman-French origin, which are so common in Eng-' Kale yet by no means in the majority. It belongs to the classification of nicknames or sobriquets, .and is a good g example of the manner in whieh such names came into being first as a popu- lar tribute or attribute to the bearer, and later, under the growing influence o of the necessity for having more than e one name by which to distinguish a man, became finally a hereditary name. The name conies from two Norman- lerench words, "gros" and "veneer," and it means "stout hunter." No greater compliment could have been paid a man in those days when hunting was a major sport, an enter- prise of some danger and considerably more serious than that of modern times except where big game is being sought. As a family nanie it is not so wide- spread as some others, but neverthe- less of sufficient importance to de- serve mention. There is no doubt that the sobriquet was applied to a c great Tetany macre persons in the Mid- dle Ages than have bequeathed it `to their posterity as a family name. crutches. I continued taking the pills for months, slowly but surely getting new strength, and finally I was able to lay the crutches aside.

I may add that when the ' rheumatism came on I weighed 140 pounds, and when I be- an going about on crutches I only weighed 67 pounds,. and now I am at uornial weight.

Freezing Points of Fruits Are Measured Electrically. In an attempt to evolve methods of preventing the spoilage of fruits and vegetables by freezing while in tran- sit or storage, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is conducting thousands of experiments at the Arlington, Va., laboratories, to determine at what temperatures these products freeze. The experimental apparatus consists of a large tank in which brine is cir ulated, and thermocouples, which possess the peculiar preaeety of gen- erating weak -and variable currents of electricity when they are subjected to changes in temperature. These vari ations are registered by delicate me- ters. So sensitive are the thermocoup- les that they will detect a difference of temperature of •.0001 deg. In ser- vice, a test specimen of fruit and a thermocouple are placed in one 0(.12' ceps in the lid of the briue_tank, By watching the specimens and the meter closely the exact kemperature:at which freezing begins ins "determined with great accuracy. i It's Up to Youas a Parent whether you reed your boy or (lir1 `.real ,building Food,or some_ thing- that merely "tastes good."
