A thirteen -year-old girl has just won a:.twenty-five dollar prize for writing an essay on the. subject "Honor thy father and thy mother." She finds no difficulty in obeying this Biblical : injunction, but states em- phatically • that good parents are a necessity if the child is to grew up into a good citizen. Her line of reas- oning is very, clear. She says: "Par- ents have had the experience which we must get, and owing to this; they can make wise decisions when we most dia nolic'fli ht and paisoa>,ed. the , need them, and by which we ,may 1 g benefit as long' as we live.

Only half ti dozen. •of the ;eighty,siz i Toronto are no* public schools n without a phonograph. Some of them have three or four, purchased -by the, children themselves. These instruments enable the teach- er to do quick and amazingly effective- work ffectivework in getting the children to grasp the idea of the difference between music of real beauty and distinction and common -place -popular tunes. Placing a' record on the machine the teacher shows how quickly the child-: ren sense the recurring tune, and un sag. derstand the progress of the musical !J.a narrative being played.]' Young children sense with amazing celerity the .idea - of musical fancies. They take to progr"ani music with de- light. ` There is practically no school in Toronto without at,,Xeast one teacher well qualified toteach music along progressive lines through The use of the phonograph. And teachers aro also assisted in teaching history or other subjects. Suppose Shakespeare le being studied in somecertain period. A list. of Shakesperean songs is immediately available to brighten the work, give it character and stamp it in the memory. And there are`Jaeo- bite songs to study in the sturdy Jaco- bite days. And flavor of every period of. history is evoked ,to give life and color to facts and 'figures. National folk ,songs enhance the study of na- tional history. Music is thus linked up closely withthe, regular -studies In- stead of being intrad'uced as an incl- dental "frill."

Everything seems a bur- den; then come' periods of nervous ir- ritability, headaches and weariness; People who suffer this way lack vital- ity, because their blood is poor and nerves are starved in consequence. The only way the nerves can be reached is through the blood. By en- riching the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the starved nerves are sup- plied with -just the elements they need. This is proved by the experience of Mrs. J. E. Dodson, 12th Ave. East, Vancouver, B.C., who says:—"About three years ago I became very weak and nervous. 1.had pains in my side and back, and also, suffered -from fre- quent pains in the back of my head and neck. I was hardly able to do anything about the house. I would wake with a start in the ,.night and my heart would flutter so that it al- most ehoked me. I tried much doc- tor's medicine` but it did me= no per- 5nanerit gb-od. , One day T read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to give them a trial.

Iviongeau, popula;,r night clerk at the ;Prince of Wales „Hotel, 17 and 19 McGill College Avenue, Montreal, Canada, lends' late name to further the cause of Tanlac, thetreatment that has proved of suck great benefit to him. "After all Tanlac has dorso for •me"; said Mr. Mongeau, "I just feel like praising it to everybody. right years of muscular rheumatism had just about made a cripple of me. I got to where'I simply had to limp around on a cane. My nerves• became affected, my sleep unsound and I felt complete- ly knocked out. "Six bottles, of Tanlac, taken eight .months ago, made a new man of me and I have•hacl no further trouble with rheumatism, or my health, since.

A piece of paper- wrapping paper—is also used but the spectators do not know how important this is. The 'b`arness ring and the block of wood are placed on the paper. The coin is then marked and is placed some distance away, also on the paper. The block of wood is placed on the harness ring and the two are placed- on the coin. The inevitable .magic word is said and the block of wood is lifted. The. coin has vanished. The block` is replaced, another magic word is said and both block and ring are lifted. The`coin reappears. The harness ring is about as big , as a half.. dollar. The opening of the ring is very neatly covered with paper—the same wrapping paper mentioned - as being so ' essential. The, block of wood should be about the size of the ring, so that the two can be lifted together without awk- wardness. When the ring rests on the paper, the fact that it is pre- pared cannot be seen -except by careful inspection of the ring, be- cause the paper matches perfectly. The secret being known, the opera- tion tion of the trick will beeasily un- derstood. (Clip this nslt endpaste it, with other of the srri"r in a srrnpbook.)

Thousands af' wofoen testify to this fact; - Many -Eyed Insects. Some insects are liberally 1rovi'd ga with eyes. In general, they have two kinds—simple and compound, Simple eyes are like our own, though less ef- flcient,. while compound eyes are com- posed of numerous facets or lenses. Most people know how difffcuit it is" to catch the common housefly. This is not surprising when one realizes that a fly's eye possesses 4,000 facets. Consequently there is not much that is out of its line of vision. The dragon. fly's eye has 12,000 facets, and the Mardella beetle's eye its made up of no fewer than 25,000. While the compound eyes never ex- ceed two, the single .eyes vary in num- ber from one to eighteen or twenty. They are situated in groups on each side of the head. Spiders and scorpions ,'have both single and compound eyes, though. they appear to derive little benefit -' from them.
