Three Awards for Life Saving - A bulletin issued, by Provincial Head- quarters of The Boy Scouts Associa- • tion, Toronto, announces the following awarde to Ontario Scout and Scout leaders: The Gilt Cross to Scout Aultden Mor- gan, age 13, ist MacTier Troop, for stopping a runaway horse by climbing out on the shafts until able to reach the reins and tints saving from Injury or death two children who were in the wagon. . • The Gilt Cross ta Assistant Scout - easter J.

The removal of the Russian capital to 1VIoscow meant a sentence of deatlo against Petrograd, which is an entire- ly. artificial city._ Without any geogra- phical or economic advantages, built on a marshy aWallIP, periodically de- vastated by floods, the forrner capital owed its existence to the fiat of Peter tho Great. It cpuld survive only' 'as a city of luxury and ,pleasure, as a centre of the "Court and of society, -of the bureaucracy and of the- army. • Other -European cities like Trieste, Riga and Vienna saw the currents of commercial life diverted from,them af- ter the World War, but their prosper- ous aays are sure to return. On the contrary, Petrograd, having lost its po- litical as the capital of an, empire, can never recover. It can neither be revived nor transformed; it can never adapt itself to.the taw Con- ditions. In the near, Stature tourists will visit the ruins '' of Petrograd as our forefathers wouldcontenaplate the ruins of medieval Rome.

Choral music in Canada requires a staunch backing from the people who can afford to offer their means tas a furtherance of this kind of music. There are many many choruses vary- ing from good to very bad, but there are so few that are really remarkable that they.may.be easily counted,. As it is now, in some larger places the cheruses are partly paid, due to the inability to secure the right sort of singers. The results of such it chorus rehearsing several times a Week weulci. be amazing. The average arnatear society has but one rehearsal atweek, with usually a large percent- age of absentees, arid makes but little artistic progress from year - to year. Thus these societies are unable to pro- duce the greatest choral works which often lie unnoticed for many years. On the whole, ciforal music is badly In need of strenuous improvement.

He is more or less confined to stuffy, badly ventilated rooms. It is so often stormy that the mother does not get him out in ,the fresh air as often as she should. He catches colds which rack his little 'system; his stom- ach and bowels get out cif order and he becomes peevish and cross. To guard against this the motiner should keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the -house. They regulato. the stomach and bowels, and break up colds. The new sales tax will not -increase the , I price of Baby's OWn l'ablete, as the company pays the tax.

Mrs. William Henry, Lovett Street, London, Ont., has proved the value of these pills, and says:" "I had zy very severe attack of anaemia. I was always tired and the least thing would make me sick at the stomach. I could hardly go about and suffered terrible pains in any legs frorn cramps. I hid no calor in my face and was as white -as a sheet. The doctor gave me several kinds of medicine, but could notMnderstand why I did not get results from it. Then I went to a hospital and was there for three months, but came home no better than when I went. My friends were wor- ried and feared consumption. While I was still in this condition a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. J tried them and after a time felt they were helping me, and I glad- ly continued their use, and am thank- ful to say that I am again a well wo- man, and I'firmly believe that had it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would not have got better."

The primary sorting of hair takes place at the ranch, from which it gees to the bleacher, who bleaches the hair with sulphur. It is bound up in hanks of 100 to 150 hairs, and the hanks are then ready for export. One hank us- ually goes to a bow. On arrival at 'the bow factory, or the repair room of a large dealer, the hair is combed and fixed on the end with shellac. The hair is straightened out by means of a special comb.

Al DU& Thom Landseer, brother of Ir Edwin, the famoue animal palater. Wee one of those amusing bat discora celdieg persoes who not Only are ab- sent-minded bat have the habit of un- jenseta leuslia tittering aloud thought and commentsthat they have no intention ; of making public. Called upon once to view a landscape by a friend, an ama- teur of no more than mediocre ability, he politely said' what he honestly coeld in praise of a minor ,detail here and there. Thee, mueh pleased with himself that he had so tactfully es.: caped. the ordeal, he murrnured a few Inarticulate huan's and -ha's,, took it final look and as he turned away said under his breath but quite audibly, "Poor chap! Poor 'chap! And he thinks he can paint!" Even more embarrassing were his remarks upon ariother painting; this time by a distinguished portrait paint- er, whose subject was also a man of distinction as well as of high rank, but one whose physiognomy was decidedly more striking taa.n. beautiful, The gentleman, who was heavily bearded, had a rather fiat nose and heavy over- hanging brows beneath -which gleamed a pair of small but dark and piercing eyes. Thomas Landseer vieared the portrait with interest -and. expressed cordial admiration of its execution, Then, to the dismay of artist arid sub- ject, both of "ahem were present, he strolled casualla away and, pausing le front of another portrait one of a charming woman, communed taiga himself, but audibly: "Ah, that's bettor! That's better! The other was a good piece of work, but net quite in X's line. They ought to have called in Edwin to paint an old chimpanzee like Lord Blank!" Fortunately Lord Blank was a "claira- panzee" with a sense of humor. He burst out laughing and insisted that Thomas, whose apelogies when he found he had spoken aloud -were sin- cere and horrified, should. by Way of atonement take him to visit his brother's studio. The visit led in turn to both brothers visiting later the peer's castle. There Sir Edwin exe- cuted a splendid portrait, not of the owner, it is true, but of his three dogs. How to Handle Battery. 12 you use a storage battery you probably have seen the effect of a spilling acid on floors or carpets. Get a small box, or blind one, say three 'inches larger all around than your bat- tery. Paint or stain. the outside to match the furniture. Paint the inside* with several coats of heavy :paint, or asphaltum paint, if possible. Have no open cracks. Put castor a or easy -slide knobs on the bottom of the box. It will keep the battery ea,te, keep acid, off the floor and afford.a place to keep a receptacle for the hydrometer and 'a small.' bottle of distilled water, all to- gether and all safe.—G. M.
