In his new book, 'My Life for Lab- or," Mr. Robert Smillie, M.P., the, miners' leader, tells an amusing story.. When the King and Queen :were visitingthe PrinceWales' state in c of e Kennington, theyentered the house of $ Toni Richardson, the miners' M.P. His young daughter, Annie showed then sonnei: Lord_Balfo n• of Burleigh; .see- ing the King glance at a picture of Keir Hardie on the wall, said: "A ter- rible man, that!" - Annie, overhearing him, said: "That is the portrait of one of the best nien I know; if anyone does not like -him, they need not stay in our house." An Engine -Driver's Rise to Fame. The name of Mr. Charles Gates Dawes has become familiar to , many people in conneetiion with the Dawes Report on Gerhiany'a finances, but very little is known about the man himself.As a matter of fact, he is the Republican canditate for the Vice- Preeidency of the United States. He is fifty-eight years of age, and has had a, remarkable career, being in. the fullest sense a self-made man. His °allege education waspaid for, with money earned by driving a railway locomotive, He became a barrister, while in 1x917 he went to France and was made Brigadier -General, He is one of the greatest financial experts In America. The Secret of His, Charm?. A short time ago -the Prince of'•Wales that his declaredtofries of mine t t a d motto in'lifo is: "I only pass through this world once, and anything I can do, and: and kindly act I can perform, let me ,do it, for I shall not pass this way again." With Pleasure! Once when Mr. Tin Healy, Govern- or-General of the Irish Free State, was iu Spain, he met Kipling, who, accord- ing to Mr. Healy, does not like him for political reasons. What happened at the meeting is told by the great Irishman himself:— " 'Kipling,' I said, 'I suppose we can shake hands on neutral soil, although I would shake hands with you any- where. '"Haven't they shot you yet?' asked Kipling. 'Nd, but when they do shoot me,' I replied, 'I would like you to write a dirge about me.' 'I'll be delighted,' said Kipling." Flowers That Dislike Music. It has beenobserved that several. kinds of flowers are.afeeoted by. music. Where there is a constant volume of sound for some- hoursu ' g d ris the day certain sensitive blossoms de- velop a leaning tendency away from the direction from which the, music comes. • It has been shown that the cycler men and the carnation . are especially Susceptible to the influence of music. Some of these, which had been used as floral decorationsclose to' a stand whiere a jazz band was frequently play- ing dance music, were affected to an astonishing degree. After a few hours it was; discovered that all the blossoms had deliberately turned their backe on the source of the music. Even when they were placed -facing the stand it was not long before each bloom re- versed its position. Spiders Help Surveyors. Spider webs are used in eurveying instruments. The fine strands are the strongest and the thinnest obtainable. Since they', are only about five ten thousandths of an •inch thick, ,they are said to serve better than any other substance for the cross hairs on the surveyor's telescopes or for field glasses. The web is taken from the insects by allowing them to drop from a loom. As fast as they drop, the web, left be- hind, is wound on epools and placed in storage. A certain species known as the Michigan grey and brown spotted spider is raised for the purpose. i Where Fishing is Easy: The smallest fish..in the world live in Lake Buhi in the Philippine Islands. They are only about half an inch long whenfull-grown, and belong f g �b ng tothee. family of gobles distinguished by a 'sort of sticking disc used for attaching f` 'the fish firmly to Stenos. These minute gobies are caught in enormous numbers• by means of cloth nets, and are,not only used in the towns along the shores of the lake, areal •.'Stili )e7' but o dfor cons•i e s d ablo shipped distances.'

First, to secure for all children their three-foldbirthright, physical, moral and social health; and second, to make a practical effort to apply the principle of Christianity to human life, and thereby wipe out„the double standard of morality. "Educate, educate, educate!” said Dr, C. J. O. Hastings, IvI.0.H. for To- ronto, in an emphatic speech on social hygiene work "But don't sit down while you do it. Keep right on battling with things as they are, while hoping for better ones in the future. Perhaps' the best summing up of the complete meaning of social hygiene is given in a trenchant paragraph by Havelock. Ellis, when he says that it may be said to be a development, and even . a transformation, of what was formerly known as social reform. In that transformation it has undergone a e two fundamental ch ng s. In the f isno longer merelyan first place,t g attempt to deal with the conditions under which life is lived, seeking to treat bad condition's as theyoccur, without going to their source, but it aims at prevention. It ceases to he simply a reforming of forms, and ap- proaches in a. comprehensive manner not only theoonditions of life, tut life itself. In the second place, its method is no longer haphazard, but organized and systematic heing based on a grow- ing knowledge of 'those biological sciences which were scarcely in their infancy when the era of social reform began. Thus social hygiene is at once more radical and -more scientific than the old conception of social reform. 'It is the inevitable method by which at a certain stage civilization is compell- ed to continue its own course, and to preserve, perhaps to elevate, the race. Music From a Mirror. More than two thousand years ago a barber dieeovesed "that, in moving his mirror, air was forced through the tubes which were common in mirrors at that time. This caused a curious musical sound nt to be emi tte•d. So struck as hethis - w s by t las Peculfarft>r that he set `about making an instrument which was the foundation Of the modern or- gan. After several experiments he made a water -flute, in which air was forced by bellows through an inverted cone which led to flutes controlled by a key- board, the pressure being kept uni- form by water. After a thousand years a rival instru- ment made its appearance. This was of a similar pattern, but, instead of water, weights regulated the pressure. In 951 an organ was erected at Win -1 chester. It `J bad twenty-six bellows and ten pipes to each key. The two men who sat at the keyboard "blew and sweated enormously." Later, a firm of organ makers in Germany suc- ceeded in erecting the first really big instrument. Th primacy stops did not differ very much from those of to -day, Although various novelties were intro- duced. Among the innovations were the nightingale and cuckoo stops, while others represented cock -crowing and goat -bleating. Though these have now fallen into dissuse, an organ with one of these nightingale stops is still to be seen in Rome. It was not until the nineteenth cen- tury that the problem of the regula- tion of air pressures was solved by the introduction of the hydraulic blower, --------e..-- --- Remit by Dominion Express Money Order.

Making Baby Beautiful. All babies are wonderful, and, to its - own mother at last, each baby is the mat beautiful thing in"the world. All the same,'- there! aide moments, when mothers in candid mood will admit, if only to themselves, small points in baby's "make up" that night have been improved upon. Unfortunately these minor imperfec- tions do not always disappear as the years roll by. Often they are aggra- vated by neglect and wrong treatment. And so the intelligent mother might be well advised to consult a beauty specialist if there is any matter calling for attention, for it is when, baby is young and tiny that its future good looks may be moulded—ar marred. Very gently the nose , that is de- veloping an wrong lines may be press- ed into the line of beauty. Mothers are amazed how much can be done by perfectly natural means to improve little noses'. The same with the ears. Mothers and nurses are, of course, on their guard against the protruding ears that careless adjusting are.. caused by cae s of bonnets and caps, but there are cases where ears do have actrrious tendency to stick out,'.e,ncl Much' can bo done by seeing that ears are flat against the pillow whn baby lies on his. side, and also by gently pressing back to :the head. Eyes can be made clear and beauti- ful by 'seeping them immaculately clean.

One merit of 'radio is that it is teach- ing meilions to listen who were not letter-perfect in that fine art before its coming, When 'there ie that well- known "Man with a message" or the musical artist of sou feeling g and a -"`1"" , the "radio fan" listens' with a ,conoen- tratidn that educate's him to hear more than the sound that issues from the loud speaker to the silent group be- fore it. The habit of giving respectful attention to the inanimate instrument` grows and is confirmed, so that we learn how to listen to other humane beings:—including even the members of; our own families, junior or senior. For though we are social and grega- rious andeconmonly enjoy being com- municative, we are usually not so good at hearing others as we are at telling our own affairs and "thinking- out thinkingout loud" on the assumption that what is of such keen concern to ourselves ought to be interesting to others'. What "every woman knows" is that it is no trouble to get a ,man to talk if she invites in him to pour into her syr -1 pathetic ear his own shop talk or his personal ambition. Perhaps he would soonercross the line between mere acquaintance and the inner reality of friendship if in his,. turn he would be mute and give her a chance to spread out the treasures of her mind on the flattering assumption that she has one, or at least give voice to her own in- dividuality. A. listener of the ideal type does, more than sit passively silent. You cannot tell i from: the static attitude of certainr persons whether they. merely endure or whether they sensitively ap- 1 prehend. Merely to be quiet while an -1 other speaks is not to listen. The true listener is a stimulating presence. Every platform speaker knows the difference between two sorts of audi- ences. In one he finds a quickening reaction that incites• his own mental processes. In the other ,he discerns. only the stolid patience of those who' seem to remain in their seats merely because it less effort to stay than to rise and depart. We applaud orators; we sometimes elect them to political office for no better reason than that they talk glib- ly.
