TO MISS FLAPPER—
Blessing on thee, little dame—
Bare bask -girl with knees the. same,
WW1 thy rolled down silken. hose,
And thy dress of transparent clothes,
With thy red lips, reddened more,
Smeared with lipstick from the stare;
With thy snake -up on, thy face,
And thy bobbed hair's jaunty grace,
From my lecart I give thee joy—
Glad. that I was born a boy.
1lISS FLAPPER'S R .,PLY
Blessings on thee little gent,
With thy Iasi. half -dollar spent,
Buying cigarettes and gum,
My, you must have ,lots of fun.
And thy lip made blacker still,
With 'thy moustache like a frill,
And thy red nose, reddened more,
]down, behind the cellar door;
Always must ,be ie a whirl,
Glad that I Was born a girl.

It Takes Days to Secures One of
These Big Animals.
Trapping animals in the jungle, in
order to sell thew. to zoos and cir-
cures, is a much more hazardous job
than shooting them, says Charles
Mayer, in "Trapping Wild Animals in.
Malay Jungles,"
One of the Arst difficultiee the trap-
per comes up against is the Malay
native. This man's policy is "never
do to -day what can be done on the
morrow."
s To illustrate this, the author tells
the following story.
He wished to cross a river, so he
went up to a native who was basking
on the river bank and asked him to
row him over.
"Sir, I have eaten and I have had
plenty," said the native. "You may
take my boat and row yourself across
the river. To -morrow, if Allah grants
me life and if I need the boat, I
will swim, over for it,"
When in the Malay States, the
author received an order for a rhin-
oceros from an Australian zoo. He
got together :his natives and went uP
country.
Soon they got on to the tracks of
a big beast and followed them to a
mud -puddle, where they finished. Evi-
dently it was the animal's baba.
The rhino was not there when the
party arrived, however, so the author
had four Its dug round the puddle.
These pits were made to slope, so
that the animal should not hurt it-
self when it fell In, The tops of the
pits were covered with bamboo poles,
which supported leaves and mud.
The hunters then withdrew and
stationed sentinels to tell theta If the
animal blundered into any.of the pits.
Some days latera native reported
that the beast was caught, and Mr.
Mayer immediately `went down and
found the rhinoceros firmly wedged
In one of the pits,
A cage was built, and the business
of getting the animal into it started.
Anincline was dug running down to
the pit, leaving only a few feet of
earth between the end of the incline
and the pit. The cage was then :slid
down the incline, and then the "wall"
was dug away until only one foot in
width.
It wasn't long before the rhino got
restless, and began trying to move.
When it came to the wall it butted
it down with its head and lurched
into the cage, the door of which was
immediately lowered..
The cage was then dragged away
by six buffaloes.

They had eleven regular meetings.

Jumping Cockles
Sometimes, as you walk along a
sandy beach, you will see at the edge
of the water little jets rising from
the surface of the sand. These are
not the work of lobworms or other
creatures of that kind. The squirters
are cockles.
If you have a friend with you,
Point out one of the jets and ask
him to dig out the cockle that is
making it. He may work for hours,
but he will not catch the, cockle,
which, thanks to its powerful "foot,"
can burrow much faster than the
ordinary man can dig.
The little spurts of water are caus-
ed by a peculiar pump that every coc-
kle possesses. By its aid it sucks a
stream of water down through its
gills, and then ejects it.
The "foot" is a remarkable affair
which acts not only as a spade but
also as a real foot, By means of
it the cockle can jump about in the
most active way, as you will find if
you manage to catch one napping and
throw it to the surface by means of
a sudden stroke of the spade.
Steel That Won't Stain.
Stainless steel is undoubtedly one
of the greatest boons that has ever
been given to the housewife.
It can be left in vinegar for twenty-
four hours at a time; can be used to
cut lemons and onions; can be soaked
in a solution of soda for a week; and
there will be not the slightest mark
left upon it, although most other
metals would have turned black un-
der this treatment.
Stainless steel should not be clean-
ed in the ordinary way. Just wash it
and polish with a soft rag:
It is almost impossible to get a
good cutting edge on stainless knives
unless the right method of sharpen-
ing is followed. Hold the knife at
an angle ofeabout forty-five degrees
to the sharpener. If it is held up-
right it will only get scratched. -The
best sharpening material is a "stone"
in a very fine grit. .
olur, Shoulders.
To the majority of persons the
statement that their shoulders are
not of the same height will come as
a surprise, buttailors know that al-
most invariably. the left shoulder is
higher than the. right. If a baby's
shoulders are measured it will he
found that they are exactly even.
That they do not remain so is blam-
ed upon parents, who as a rule lead
their young and growing children by
the left hand. This is a natural man-
ner of leading the child, as it shields
it from bumpsP
o . persons met in its
walks, but the muscles and bones are
thus continually raised and in the
end drawn permanently out of posi-
tion, although thechange is so
slight that it is not noticeable unless
accurate measurements are taken.
Island In Jeopardy.
The picturesque island of Mont
Saint Michel (Normandy) appears to
be jeopardized as the result of a land-
slide which has occurred' there. The
main street of the island has given
way, leaving a gap 25 feet wide by
20 feet. long. Engineers have been
summoned to carry out an examina-
tion of the foundations of the beau-
tiful old abbey which crowns the
rock; as it is feared that the land-
slide may extend to the vaults, ' on
which the.abbey stands.

ject,eiistory—Entrance and Lower
School, --,-He advised teachers to put
time upon the subject because of its
importance. He would have the pa
-
pits read extensively and ever keep in.
mind the aim of the subject—the ed-
ification of the pupils.—He thinks
the Entrance papers on History
should be taken equally from Canad-
ian and British. In teaching he as-
sociates History with Geography and
emphasizes the subject by map draw-
ing. He would summarize the His-
tory for the pupils by giving notes.
He called for a voteon the new hist-- i
ory and found the teachers unani
mous in denouncing it.
Miss D. Douglas followed on the
same subject. She would pay spec-
ial attention to Civics. Canadian and
British History should be taken con-
currently,
The Convention then separated for
the Men's and Women's Federations.
In each section, officers were appoint-
ed for the year and other matters of
interest discussed.
r Thursdayevening one of the most
pleasant and enjoyable gatherings
ever spent in the West Huron Teach-
ers was held at the evening session.
The program was a social and Intel-
lectual treat. Inspector Tom occu-
pied the chair. • The President, Mr.
R, Stonehouse gave his address on
"Moral Education," Among the
many good hings said some were wor-
thy of mention, He brought out for-
cibly the influence the teacher has on
character building In the community
at large and showed how the school
and lime should eo-operate in the
training for citizenship, He summed
up thus—The aim of moral education
should be to develope in each individ-
ual a strong and effective moral per-
sonality, reverently obedient to the
'laws of life controlled by clear sight-
ed reason, seeing, loving and willing,
the best on the plane of life that has
been reached, strong in moral initia-
tive and able to grow independently
ever toward loftier vision and nobler
action.
Mr. W. H. Johnston then gave a
reminiscent of his boyhood in S. S.
No, 9, Ashfield.
A humorous reading was given by
Mrs. Lawson. Then followed Rev.
Mr. Hedley, who gave a splendid ad-
dress on the work of the teacher.
Mr. J. P. Hume, B.A., Principal of
the G,G.I., gave a short talk on
"Training for Citizenship."
Mrs. A. J. MpKay followed with a
vocal selection which was well receiv-
ed. Then came the climax of the
evening's entertainment. All were
treated to some choice sweets, after
which followed a general sing -song
of old timers Numerous games were
played. The entertainment was pro-
nounced the best ever held,

Mr. Johnston responded feelingly.
Mrs. H. Snyder gave a talk to the
Convention telling of the experience
of her daughter who is a teacher in -
New Ontario where the fire did such
havoc: After hearing this report,
which was touching in the extreme it
was moved by Mr. W. H. Johnston,
seconded by Mr. J. E. Tom,, that we
donate $100.00 to the. fire sufferers
of the north. This was.carried unani-
mously..
A committee was former to inform
the Department of the poor histories
lately authorized, . consisting of Mes-
srs Howard and Ross and Miss I. E.
Sharman, The resolutions were then
read by Miss N. Medd,,, convener;: of.
the committee. They were as follows:
y . Resolved that whereas the hist-
ory course for Entrance pupils is too
heavy and whereas we believe that
such pupils should have a thorough
knowledge of Canadian History, we
recommend that Canadian idistory
only should be prescribed for the En-
trance course send British History
taken in Fifth Form oi• Lower School-
This was carried.

Primary section the subject of read-
ing was discussed thoroughly. In the
Fifth Class section over which Mr. J.

was thoroughly discussed. The sec-
tions then united and Mr. G. A, Man-
