THE DANGER IN INK.
A witee woman once removed the
Jebel "Poison" from an empty bottle
and pasted it on the family ink bottle,
"Why, mother, ink isn't poisonous,
and besides, no one ever things' of
drinking it."
"I know; but, if the label leads us
to give a second thought to what we
write, it will serve its purpose. Ink,
my dear, has often proved to be a
deadly poison to the affection of rela-
tives, to friendship, to love. It will
kill every affectionate impulse if used
indiscriminately."
If it were possible to gather statis-
tics on such an intimate subject, it
would be found that seventy-five per
cent. of the letters in the postman's
bag•are uninteresting, stupid, unneces-
sary, and are read only once by those
who receive them, The letters of
sweethearts and those of children to
their mother do not come into that
class; but even they are not above
criticism, for the sweethearts write too
many, and the children too few. -
When you are away from home
what kind of letter pleases you most?
Here is one received by a woman
many miles from her kinsfolk and set
aside as the one letter received in six
months that did the most to make her
heart glad:
Dearest Big Sister, We miss you
very much. This morning I wore my
blue and white gingham to school, and
the teacher adrnired it. We had waf-
fles for breakfast. Mrs. Sparks' tiger
lilies are in bloom. Oh, what do you
think? You could never guess. Min-
nie's gray cat has six.kittens, and Min-
nie's mother says I can have every one
of them. Won't that be just grand?
Last night when we had lemon pie
Father said you ought to be here be-
cause it is your favorite kind. He has
a new hat. Mother is in the dining
room mending a hole Uncle Jim burn-
ed in the table cloth with his cigar.
Mother didn't say anything., I guess
she wasn't glad about it. Auntie Green
comes to wash to-rnorrow. Mother says
I can put anydoll clOthes in. The new
farnily aoro•ss the street has a girl
my age, and a baby. Mother says
maybe they will let me take turns in
wheeling the baby. The baby buggy
Is light blue. 'I think I shall be busy
with my kittens. I haven't told mother
about them yet. She seems too upset
about the table cloth_ It was her best.
The one with the poppy pattern. I
have on my blue hair ribbon. Father
says I look like a butterfly. The • kit-
tens' eyes are shut. With love and a
big kiss.—Alice. •
There were letters from' other mem-
bers of the family. An older sister
told of a party to which she had not e
been invited and the letter was in the t
nature of a wail; mother's letter,
House
though dear, was devoted to sugges-
tions to the -recipient for safeguarding
her health. Father's letter was a
homily on the need of saving her
money; brother wrote three line's, two
of them about a new baseball mitt.
Only one letter conteined the news
that her homesick heart longed for,
and that was written by a child often
Guileless, sincere, loving, newsy, it
was an ideal letter. •-•
"I laughed over it, and I cried over
it. I read it when I was depressed,
and I read it when I was happy, be-
cause of the steadying influence it had
on me. I really felt that I could not
do anything that was not generous and
kind, because of the influence of, that
letter. It visualized home."
In writing a letter put yourself in
the position of the person who will
read it. If you are writing to one
who is resentful or (quick-tempered,
avoid jokes; never make comparisons;
leave out all criticism of the recipient
or of others who are common acquain-
tances. Never write, "Burn this." It
is a long way to the furnace clOWn-
stairs. Never write, "Don't show this
to So -and -So." If you must give a
confidence, don't label it as "secret,U
"private" or "personal." Slip it in
casually, as you would slip in a com-
ment on the weather.
Never write your troubles; the read-
er may have greater ones. Do not
mention your ill health; it may cause
needless anxiety, and you may be bet-
ter when the letter is received. Never
write a criticism. You might say the
same thing with a disarming smile,
but the smile doesn't appear in the ink.
If you haye won a great success, only
mention it when you write to your
mother. If you have failed, say no-•
thing about it. Never seek praise or
sympathy through the mails—or in
any other way.
Don't write too many letters. If the
recipient—unless it be your mother
—
is able-bodied and has had a good
education and fails to answer your
first letter and your second letter, tak
a lesson in pride and do not write a
third. If your letters are welcome,
they will bring replies.
When eou fail to receive a letter
don't blame the postman. The govern-
ment is not interested in keeping your
mail from you. When you read a let-
ter that hurts put it away -until -you
are in a .more philosophical frame of
mind. Never go near the ink bottle
when you are angry.
Don't make excuses for not having
written before. There are few rea-
sons for procrastination that ring
true. Devote no epace in your letter
;o disappointment because the recipi-
nt waits so long to reply. Perhaps
here is a reason you do not guess.,
Answer—promptly the letters from
our father or nfother and those of a
usiness nature. Do not glory in the
lumber of your correspondents; limit
the list to those you sincerely like, and
who you know sincerely like you. To
-reckon your popularity., by nurnberseis
a childish thing. Remember that 'old
friends are more interested in the lit-
tle intimate affairs of your life than
new friends are. If a married brother
does not write, do not blame his wife.
When a man marries he sometimes
shifts the duty of writing to his rela-
tives to his wife's shoulders, She may
not want to take his place in a mat-
ter like this, but she learns that un-
less she writes to his family they will
never hear. Respect her for her at-
tempt to make up for his omission.
There is the paper; a clean sheet of
paper. There is the pen. There is
the ink. And there ease should be the
label on the bottle in red and white—
"Poison." For ink is poisoh unless
you write in a spirit of helpfulness
and understanding.

OUTDOO,R STUDY.
, The best kind of outdoor study is
contemplation.. Get a notebook, a
book on botany, a book on birds, if
you will, and pack your mind with
fir,ced and irrevocable facts. But; do
not teach your child on that principle.
A carious -ignorance, gilded with a
happy enthusiasm, is better than the
labeling, pressing, analyzing knowl-
edge that plays a large part in modern
4'nature etteeleer.
Let the children "run wild" without
t first teaching them even rudiment-
ry truths about the trees, grasa,
a
flowers, birds, animals or fishes. Teach
them one'or two things at a time and
encourage them by letting •them see
that you appreciate their memories
when they repeat the next'day what
they have learned about outdoors. to
not let them memorize names only,
but teach thein to memorize sensa-
tions . Teach them the sure,ness and Toronto Exhibition,

Who- Found America?
While Columbus is usually credited
with the dtscovery of America, it is
certain that Cabot, sailing out of Bris-
tol, beat him to the mainland, and It
has also been claimed that the Norse-
man, sailing via Greenland, had reach-
ed the American coast some centuries
before that.
A new theory, to the 'effect that it
was the Irish who discovered America,
has now, however, been advanced by
Father ,Devine, a Canadian antiquari-
an and Monsignor Evers, of New
York.
According. to Father Deyine, maps
discoiered in the Vatican show that
the whole coast of North America,
from Nova Scotia to Florida, was
known as Ireland the Great in the

"'Socotra, isolated island off th

quarters of the United States Nationa

"For it is the Isle of Frankencense

possible that one of the gifts of th

Socotra, for in the past the island wa

by a Sultan under British protection.
Nor is the island small; at is nearly
half as large as Crete or Porto Rico.
"Socotra is not often visited by west-
erners, but this la rather because of
the religious jealousy of the Sultan
than because of any danger from the
natives. The latter were described a
few years ago by a visitor writing for
the National Geographic Society as
a kindly folk, hospitable and quite
harmless'."
Continuing, he wrote: "Hadibo, the
capital, or Tamarida, as the Arabs call
t, from tamar, the date fruit tree, is
a collection of fiat -roofed white houses
cattered among the palms,.
"The Sultan's 'palace' is a large mud

There are few animals' better known
than the skunk.. Every woman has ad-
mired its ha.ndsorne fur,
In' wild state the skunk roams
the whole of North America, from Can-
ada to Florida, and although it walks
about in broad daylight is rarely mo-
lested. The reason Is that, if annoyed,
It can'discharge from a special gland
a spra,y, the odor of which is extreme-
ly obnoxiou,s.
The writer speaks from experience
when he says that there is nothing
else to compare with it, and that a
whiff of it will make any human be-
ing deadly sick. A sporting dog, if
"skunked," is 'useless for days, losing
. all power of scenting game.
There is a small beetle known as
the bombardier, which defends itself,
when attacked by discharging an acrid
fluid. But this beetle's ammunition is
not only offensive ;it is also volatile,
and actually explodes with a sharp
little report when it meets the air. .A.
bombardier can fire a dozen charges
of this kind' in succession.
There are other insects which have
this peculiar habit, one a kind of ant
lion of which a specimen can be seen
in the London Zoo. The spray is
formic a -cid, and the, range is about
twelve inches.
• Another Insect gunner is the peri-
eatus, which is something between a
acorpion and a worm,. It is about
three 'aches long, and has legs and
powerful Jaws. Crawling up to its
prey, it shoots out a pellet of intense-
ly sticky stuff which renders its vic-
tim incapable of movement.

CE44:IN THIS PROU,
United States is, a Heavy Pur.
chaser—Demand in Cuba
on Increase.
One Phase of the Canaullan agrieul-
tural industry which the Maritime Pro-
vinces have made peaullarlY their
own and in which -they hia've attained
distinctive heights with resultant
prosperity to ehenfeelves is in ,the pro-
ductiOn and marketing of potatoes
'both for seed and commercial pur-
poses. The potato crOP of this. area cis
becoming more valuable each year as
greater demands are made from out-
side sourcea for the product and the
volume of exports to many countries
expands.' The potato to -day le per-
haps the most widely and favorably
known of the many products of the
Maritime area.
The 1923 potato ecrop • brought con-
,sicleeable pi-ofit, to the farmers ef the
Maz'itime Provinces wieh prices main-
taining a very satisfactory level, and
accordingly the acreage ,which is be-
ing devoted to potato produetion this •
year is, very substantially augmented
and a largely increased. output expect-
ed. The Province of, New Brunswick •
alone has this year doubled its potato•
acreage, and six hundred acres of size-
cially selected landabout Summerside,
Prince Edward Island, are being given
over' extausively to. the ratsin,g,of po-
tatoes fon seed. Little apprehension
is to be. anticipated in the disposition
of the crop in the growing popularity
of the Maritime'product and Canada's •
developing potato market. In the past
few years the supply of seed at least
has not beenable to meet the demand.
Seed Widely Exported.
Years ago the Provinces of Ontario
and Quebec commenced to import,
sturdy Maritime potato seed, and of
recent years the United States .has
come to increase such importations, ,
until at present many sections rely al-
together upon Maritime seed for their
potato crops. Eyery year hundreds of
cars of potato seed leave the three
provinces for United States points,
and shipments have been made by
water to Texas. 'A year or two ago
the State of Virginia through ite, Po- -
tato Growers' Association, made a bid
for the entire Prince Ed -Ward Island
Calbp. This remarkable developmeet
has taken place in the past five years.
Canada in 1923 produced 55,07,0a0
cwt. of potatoes; of. which 2,732,000
cwt. are to be accredited to Prince Ed-
ward Island, 3,311,000 to Nova Scotia
and 6,043,000 cwt. to New Brunswick,
or 12,086,000 to the entire aiaritime
area. This represents about -22 pspi
cent. „cif the total Canadian potato crop
for the year. The amount of loss
through rot, etc., was very low in these
three provinces, amounting " to 8 per
cent. in Prina.e Edward Island, 6 per
cent in Nova Scotia, and 13 per cent.
in New Brunswick. The average acre
potato production in Prince Edward
Island in 1923 was 111.50 cwt.; in
Nova Scotia 120 cwt.; and on New
Brunswick 1e2.75 cwt. The ten-year'
average production from 1913 tO 1923
In the three provinces was respective-
ly 96 cwt., 108.5 cwt. and 109.1 cwt. •
Cuba the Heaviest Purchaser.
Canada's exports of potatoes in the
pait three years have totalled re-
spectively 3,765,529 bushels, 2,798,842
bushels, and 3,030,328 bushele, with
values of $2,936,676, $1,877;075, and
$2,856,742. Small quantities only of
Canadian, potatoes move to tae
Kingdom, but the United States is a
very heavy pin'thaser. In the paat
three years -the Republic has taken re-
specti-aely 1,822,004 bushels, 771,635
bushels and 663,975 bushels, Cuba is
the heaviest purchaser ,of all and is
