lecsal grocery store but saw to it that
we got Ontario -grown geed. The let-

apart in the row, Care was used in
pulling them not to displace those left

thinned it was given a thorough water-

ing tank in which we eooled our milk
, and applie& it after sundown or very -
early in the morning. As the days
lengthened and grew hatter, the let-
tuce looked more thrifty. We always

The mentally defective constitute, by
no fault of their own, one of the great-
est and most perplexing of social prob-
lems. This fact is alll too little under-
stood and appreciated.
It is usually estimated.that from 114
to 2' per cent. of the population are be-
low par mentally. On that basis there
are in Canada from 135,000 to 180,000
of these unfortunates. Some are idiots,
utterly helpless and unable to care for
-
themselves. Others ars imbeciles, a
one marriage that never should have
been allowed.
It is estimated by those beat quali-
fied to judge that two-thirds of all pros-
titution is due to feeble mindedness.
Moreover, a large proportion of the
children born out of mariage have
feeble-minded mothers. These women
living in promiscuous sexual indul-
gence soon -develop veneral diseases,
and infect all their male associates.

Encourage Child to Talk.
The child who talks -well is the
child who has something to say. Let
him retell stories, seeing to it that
he distinguishes fact from fancy.
Total repression, at the table, for in-
stance, might profitably give way to
an intelligent conversation in Nvhicall
the child takes an active part. Draw
out the incidents of his daily life in
his ownwords. By narrating them he
gains practice in the use of language.
At the same time' his past experiences
are being reinforced and not only vrild
they be better remembered but in a
more useful form. If an arm is not

the older ones, to whom the hour of
warship did not seem so long.
So one day I drove to the church
with the idea of eovering over the
holes and of etudyieg out sorae way
of frightening the birds away.
When I opened the door of the
church I heard a Autter of wings and
saw a brightly colored bird fly across
the room and dash itself agaiust the
window. It was dazed by the sudden
ahook but soon rigated itself and
dashed back aerose the room for an-
other window on tbe opposite side.
Again it struck the glassso bard as
almost to break It The bird made re-,
peated attempts to escape; it seemed
never to learn, that there May be hind-
raeces that Use eye cannot see.
At last, exhausted, it dropped to UK
floor. I Welted It up in inY hands and
stroked its beautiful feathers as they
rose and fell with the frigbtened crea-
ture's quick breathing.
And as I musea the words "invisible
barriers" Rept coming into my mind.
It seemed that I was like tile cbureh
building and that the Saviour was
seekiug entrance into my life as the
bird bad sougla to leave the building.
I bad made my profezsion of faith, I
ba.d given Him tbe invitation to come
and nee in me and to do Ills will in
me. To all appearat ees tbe way was
open, but Christ had not come in as
freely as 1 bad hoped. Now as the
words kept repeating themselves in
my musings I knew that there were
"invisible barrio...a' that had kept the
Saviour out just as that whieb, seemed
to be an opening to the bird had been
closed by invisible glare.
remembered the thoughts of my
nend and knew that the Saviour could
not come in to share them with me. 1
thou ht of the ptetnres hung en tb'e
walls of memery and knew that He
could not walk with inc through that
gallery. I remembered the hope.s and
desires that containea so much of sett
isliness, and realized that they were
barriers invisible to the world
bitherto to myself, but barriers never-
theless.
And there too was taw "invisible bar-
rier" of my own stubborn will that
would not submit. As I stroked the
bird 1 lifted it front my lap aud, open-
ing wide the door, let it go free. And
as the bird found its opening free from
the hindering glass I prayed that God
would break the "trvieible barrier" of
my will and let the Master come Into
nry life unhindered.
Finger -Nail Fortunes.
You can tell your fortune from your
finger nails.
If you possess wide, short nails, it
quarrelsome nature is indicated; long,'
wide nails are said to be signs of de-
ceit and craft. If their color is deep
red this makes matters worse!
Short, narrow nails often atcom-
pan,* a childish character; they indi-
cate sweetness and quietness.
The ideal nail is longer than it is
broad, of firm texture, an.d deep pink
In color. A half-moon ef white should
appear at each base.
Specks of white can usually be put
down to some illness of nervous com-
plaint. A oldster in the shape of a
half-moon running from base to tip is
supposed to be a sign of good fortune,
and it is said that Cleopatra, the fa- ,
Mous Egyptian queen, had such marks
on her fingers at the height of her
power.
