INTEREST YOUR CHILDREN IN
BOOKS.
A few days ago I drifted into one
of the large book stores in a big city.
My attention Was immediately drawn
to the number of people crowding
around a certain department. Instinct
told me there must be a bargain, and
a woman's inclination toward bar-
gains led me directly to that part of
the atoee. ,
This large book store was promot-
ing- a sale of children's books. The
eagerness and thoughtfulness with
which these mothers, and I grant -
also grandmothers and aunts, were
selecting books to develop along con-
structive channels the minds of
the children in which they were inter-
ested, were entertaining.
I paused at one of the counters
before you spend money for its,
with more than ordinary interest in
the situation. One prospective eus-
stomer, drawing upon the opinion of
a kindly saleslady, said, "I wane a
book that is easy for a ten -year-old
girl to read."
This mother undoubtedly did not
make this specification because she
was afraid of giving the. child some-
thing, hard to do; but rather to instill
th her youthful mind that reading is
a pleasure.
It is esseetiai aleo, that the books
we select for children be interesting
to them, as, well no easy to read.
Stories within the child's sphere of
experience in life are most appreciat-
ed and leave their impression. Stories
of imaginative happenings and un-
usual incidents are always entertain-
ing and have their part in developing
the imaginative nature of the child. ,
Mother and father may do much to
lead the little folks to love the right
kind of books. One mother recently
told me of her experience in develop-
ing the reading habit in her young
son. "His father and I often read the
'books he reads," she said, "so we can
discuss it with him afterward. In
some stories we try to see -who can
find the most hidden lessons. If we
have other books that will ,help him
to understand more thoroughly the
one he is reading, we leave them lying
on the library table where they will
he sure to catch his eye. When he
ap with what he has previously read
in a story, it is much mere interestingj
to beim than if we called his atten-I
tiorgto it."
In working with children have
,
fond that dramatizing certain scenes'
or a part of the story impresses the!
lesson upon the young -mind almost'
indelibly. Months afterward the child
will give voluntary reference to the
story..
The child's mind is easily molded,
and molding in the early days has a
lasting effect upon the mature life of
the child. If the ehild can be led to
develop the reading habit as a plea-
sure, concentration in his later school
work comes easily. Wise is the par-
ent who sees to it that their children
read the right kind of books, and
plenty of there. The right reading
habit developed in a child will cling
to him when his school days are
memories.

A PRAYER FOR THE KITCHEN
WALL.
My labor makes me glad!
May I have eyes to see -
Beauty' in this plain room
Where I am callecrto be:
The scent of clear blue smoke,
The old pans polished bright
The kettle's chuckling joke,
The red flame's, lovely light.
May I have wit to take
The joy ,that round me lies.
Whether I brew or bake,
My labor make me wise!
My labor leave me sweet!
When twilight folds the earth,
May I have grace to smile
And count the day's good worth.
n old song in my soul
And quiet in tny breast,
To 'welcome tranquilly,
The night's old gift of rest,
And gather strength to face
Tomorrow's leue-e strife.
Here in this humble place,
My labor bless my life!

she tidied her hair in front f the
mirror, and wondered, as she saw her
own face, if Fietcher's eyes had been
keen enough to see the signs of the
new fear that hadegripped her heart.
' Lady Anne coming down for the
week -end! Lady Anne, who hadbeen
one of the reasons for her leaving
London! Oh,'it was intolerable!. Why
hadn't her husband written to her,
asked her consent, suggested that she,
Ruth, should send an invitation to
Lady Anne? Surely some letter or
some telegram must have miscarried.
And then Fletcher! She had wanted
to be away from Fletcher. But, of
course, if a visitor Was coming for the
week -end, Fletcher would be very use-

Ruth changed her clothes and, seat-
ing herself on the balcony, lit a cigar-

half an hour, and then Fletcher ap-

"I saw it 'Wheu he raised his hat to

one White lock in it. Oh, he was most'
polite, my lady—quite the gentleman,"
Ruth's heart seemed to stand still
for a moment and then to beat fierce-
ly. She had heard of Mr. Crust. Both
Ardington and Dr. Trehorn had
spoken of Crust's single white lock
of hair. "Fletcher is telling me this
jugt to see how I behave," she said to
herself. "No doubt she is telling a
lie. She has been told to frighten,
me, and she is watching my face." I
That was true enough. Fletcher'
was looking hard at Ruth's face, and
she only eaw Ruth smiling at her.
"Really, Fletcher," said Lady Brad-
ney, "I didn't know you let strange
men speak to you."
"I don't, my lady; and I was a bit
sharp with the 'gentleman. But I
couldn't make a scene, could I, my
lady? It was not as if he was at all
irapertment."•
Ruth put her hand in trent of her
mouth and yawned. It was her way
of saying, "Why on earth do you bore
me with all this,. Fletcher?"
'He sat down on the seat by the
side of me; my lady," the servant con-
tinued, "and I didn't like to be rude
to him. He talked about the boats the
children were sailing on the Round
Pond, and the fine weather, and such
harmless topics,' my lady. Then he
m.entioned Sir .Alexander's name, and
I couldn't help saying who I was. And
from that he began to talk ofyour
ladyship."
"Really, Fletcher, I don't think you
ought to discuss either my husband or
myself with strangers.
"I know as 1 oughtn't, my lady, but
I did, and it's. that, which is on my
mind. For when he'd been talking for
ten minutes, I suddenly thought of
thieves and burglars. He wanted to
knew all, about the house—got me to
talk of it; and then it suddenly came
to me that he might be a burglar."
Ruth yawned again. But she was
trembling with fear. The very dulness
and discursiveness of Fletcher's nag-
rative most unpleasantly suggested a
'cat playing with a mouse. Whatever
it was of importance that Fletcher
I had to say, she was keeping it to the

"I'd read of sech things in the pa-

after a pause, "and I. was getting up

A unique all -year-round gift, easily

or other firm material that may be

material, ten inches square, and stitch
together, right sides out, leaving one
edge open. Four inches from the
stitched edges and parallel with these,
place a firm 'row of machine stitching.
Fill the outee openings thus made
with clean sand. Stitch ep this edge
and bind all around with a braid of

"You should have gone for a police-

the remark she was not expected to
make. And as she said it, she noticed
a curious look of disappointment in
Fletcher's eyes,

"and I would have -spoken to him but
ae he came close to us he touched his

Fletcher left the room, and Ruth
stood by the window looking out at
the sea. She was, at last face to face
with a definite danger. The police,
after many weeks, had at -last got
hold of some clue that connected her
in some way or other with the death
of Paula Merrington. There was 31C
room for doubt. A man like Mr. Crust
would hardly have' troubled to make
Fletcher's acquaintance—to force his
society upon Fletcher—unless he
had. wished to find out something
about Fletcher's mistress. •
It was either that—or elte Fletcher
had invented the whole story.

A Liner's Safety Chain.
The terrible effects which might re-

every single link in such s chain the
safety of a giant vessel and the lives
of perhaps 2,000 people may depend.

for Optimism in Future,
Early in the, neer Year In 'a public'
iiitatement, iloneeealeld 'Clearlete' Steiwaet;
.Minister of the Interior; reviewed the
,progrede during 1923 throughout the
Dominion of the development, distrte
butide, and use of hydro -electric ener-
gy. He pointed out Canada's fortun-
ate poeition thee 'regaiel and held
that with low prieed poitter--the key to
all key induStries — so abundantly
available almost everywhere in the
Dominion, there was a good reason for
nationel optimism for the future.
It was shown that amen the coun-
tries of the world Canada not only now
ranks with the highestin per capita
power development, but is certain to
greatly inerease.her ratio during corn-
ing years. In the industrial pro.gre.se
of nations, that country wbieh has the .
cheapest, surest, and 'most lasting
source of power in quantity and mit-
,.
ably located., is certain to outstrip the
others, everything .else being equal.
Canada, with her unique water -powers
forteeately located in or eke° to her
industrial arms, with vast and varied ,
resources of raw materials, and witb
unrivalled transportation facilities
both by rail and water, offers, to manu-
facturers and financiers abundant and
unusual opportunities ter profitable
trade and Investment.
An analysis of the development
which took place during 1923 discloses
the fact that some 266,000 horse -power
was added, thus, bringing the total
water -power installation Canada to
3,228,000 horse -power. A more signifi-
cant feature, however, is the largo
number of projects actually in pro-
gress of construction' at the present
time or actively in prospect. These
projects when brought to completion
within the next two years will add to,
Canada's total more than 900,00e' horse-
power.
e Ontario Leads in Development.
Among the provinces, Ontario led in
installation during the past yeer, with
146,000 horse -power. This was chiefly
comprised in ad.ditions to the 'Queens -
ton and Ontario Power plants of thd
Ontario Hydro -Electric Power Commis-
sian and in developments 'connected
with the mining industry in northern
Ontario. „ Quebec was second, with
some 44,000 horse -power comprised
chiefly in additions to the Cedars plant
of the Montreal Light, I -Teat & Power
Consolidated, and in new plants for
Price Brothers, & Co. at Chicoutimi
and the Lower St. Lawrence Power
Company near Metis. In Prianitubta. 28,-
000 horse -power were added by the
Manitoba Power Company, and British
Columbia closely followed with 26,600
horse -power accounted for by a new
plant of the East Kootenay Power
Company and additions to the plants
of the Granby 'Consolidated ?lining,
Smelting and power Company and the
Pacific Miles, Limited. Nova Scathe
increased its total by 7,800 _horse,
pewee In new developments for the -11
Nova Scotia •Power Commission and, -
the Avon River Power .Ciempany, and
In New Brunswick 2,500 horse -power
were added to the Maine and Ne3v
Brunswick Power Company's plant.
With regard to works at present un -
'
der way or in active prospect, Quebec
leads avith a very .extensive program,
included in which are such outstand-
ing develeparients as those of the Que-
bec Development Company, ,,en the
Saguenay River, the St, Maurice
Power Companye on. the river of the
same name, and numerous others to
tailing more than 550,000 horse -power.
Ontario also has an extensive program
ahead, includieg a number of 'develop-,
ments and additions tor the Ontario.
Hydro -Electric Power Comneiseion, a .
development for the Hollinger Chn-
solidated Gold, Minesand other lesser
works compriaing a total of more than
300,000 horse -power. rhe other pro-
vinces are alsb well represented, with
activities under way in Mantoba, Bri-
tish Caluinbia, and Nova Scotia total-
ling 80,000 hors -power.
