She had even children, four boys and three girls, and when. feeding time came the boys—being boys --always took thelion's share. Mrs. Fox saw her -little, girls daily growing thinner. What should she do?` In 'Wild Live in Devon Mr. " Douglas, Gordon, who for some days had been watching the. family ;beneath the fir trees, thus describes how she solved her problem. — When next I' saw the foxes I dis- covered -that the family had diminish- ed in numbers. It took me some little time to make sure of it, but at Fast I became convinced_ beyond a doubt.that only three remained, and the curious thing :vas that the •remaining ` three were certainly the weaker cubs, for whom I had been apprehensive. They appeared to .°appreciate the change; their little bodies were rounded out with the now abundant food that the mother brought them. But I was vexed and a good deal puzzled to ac count for the loss of the others; , I feared foul play somewhere,' but could trace it home to no one. .When questioned, the gamekeeper could throw no light on the matter or offer any probable explanation. In the course of our conversation, how- ever, he tolad me of another litter that he had discovered in a certain gorge, a famous breeding place a mile or two away. ' I at once set myself to study the. newcomers. But for some time I got only fleeting glimpses of the cubs as they played amongst the brushwood.,. One afternoon, however, while lying in wait in my chosen lookout, I 310- ticed an old fox coming up the gorge, carrying what looked like a young crow. Now was my chance. I focus- sed my'glass. .on the fox,, started, look- ed again and then set the glass down in astonishment. It was ,the salve old vixen! Her unusual marking brand- ed her beyncl all possibility, of mis= take, and it was with something more than interest that I now watched her° movements.

Albuminuria extracts a toll of just nineteen per cent of all puerperal deaths, an d yet we often hear of ex- pectant mothers never consulting a doctor at all until the pains of labor have commenced.

There are not many varieties of these passenger flies, and among those re- cently discovered in America were a few species known in Europe. This extensive' distribution of the few is. believed to be due to the fact that the insects frequent certain kinds of nal - grating birds. These insects detach themselves from thetheir s e body of tl e r est should he die, and dart off to find another bird on which to live. The mother bird -flies lay Only one large egg at a time. This develops in- to a peculiar kind of larva. It lives with its mother until grown up, when it is either deposited in a suitable spot or just left to look after, itself. "A Farm Woman's Prayer" reads: "Keep ever in my soul a sense of the, perspective, that my kettles and dish- cloths may not obscure the beauty of the rose blooming outside my door, the quiver of the leaves in the summer wind and the, classic purity of the snow on the valley or hill." • er uslar wiih a rneats11 Nfustard ,..neutralizes'.. the richness. of fat. foods and makes them ` easier to digest.

THF GROWING GIS. Requires .a . Mother's Constant Care and Watchfulness. In their early teens it is quite com- mon for girls to outgrow their strength, and mothers should careful- ly watch the health of their daughters at this time, for it is when strength is sapped by too rapid growth that anaemia -develops. The first signs may ie noticed by peevishness, lan- guor and headaches. The face grows pale, breathlessness end palpitation follow, with low spirits. At the first symptom of anaemia mothers should act at once. Neglect- ed anaemia often leads to decline, but if, you see that your daughter's blood" is enriched there need be no cause for anxiety. The finest' blood enricher ever discovered is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, The pure, red blood created by these pills will quickly banish all signs of anaemia. They will build up your girl's health and ensure her a robust girlhood. Give your daughter a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills now.

The boys' glee club should be con- sidered by all the school as a special- ized course of instruction in singing for boys. It denotes a considerable degree of talent and training. Al- though not repaired, there should be some premium put upon ability to read well. In organizing a glee club the invita- tion should be extended to every boy, with the understanding- that he will be given a competitive examination. There are various ways and systems of giving 1telli i aary examinations. The final test of a voice in so small an organization as a glee club is the blending quality it has with the other voices. "It was the writer's. privilege to hear a glee club of one of the uni- versities recently. The young men looked and acted well, but they :suf- fered the handicap of poor voice selec- tion,•which in turn caused the group to fail in putting over any great thrills that -the audience fully expected. An individual voice may sound -one way alone, but, possibly, quite another way when with other voices. Dignified standards should be set up, and when once going should be rigidly adhered to. Troublesome rehearsal at- tendance can be eliminated by keeping a waiting list of replacements. This also works well in other disciplinary ca- pacities. , However, no standard should he so high as to disgust a boy; no rules so rigid as to be prohibitive of -trial and effort.. Always consider that suck an organization depends largely upon good will and voluntary effort. This alone should be the fist evidence of interest. Take this interest and buil. with it.

As the coin strikes the palm, the left hand moves very swiftly toward the open right and the coin flies back and is caught in the right, The return of the coin to the right hand is so rapid that the eye cannot follow it and the effect is that the coin was slapped into the left hand which immediately closes.

Lake Casts Up' Sulphate. When the water of Salt hake, Utah, reaches a temperature below 30 de- grees Fahrenheit, it manufactures sodium 'sulphate and accommodatingly casts it up on the beach. The fact that the deposit of sodium sulphate can be gathered before it goes back' into solu- tion has led to the construction of a plant for harvesting and refining the material into a commercial. product. The average period of production will be two months each year. During a season of mild winter there may be none produced and during, years of cold winter the sodium sulphate' may. be precipitated for three months, judging by weather records of twenty years. --a-- Minard's Liniment Relieves Pain.

The aggregate pre-war wealth of the twenty -odd nations actively engaged in the great war, according to an esti- mate completed by the research de- partment of the Bankers' Trust Com- pany, of New York, amounted to 3630,- 000,000,000, 630;000,000,000, The wealth of these same nations to -day is estimated to he about $619,000,000,00.0. The pre-war wealth of the British Empire—that is of Great Britain, the dominion's, India• and the crown colonies, was approximately $140,000,000,000, while to -day the wealth of this same group of nations is estimated by the Bankers' Trust Company to be around $149,000,000,- 000 The wealth of France before the war is placed at just under 360,000,- 000,000, and is estimated to be ap- proximately the same to -day. The pre- war wealth of the United States is placed at -200,000,000,000 ' and the wealth to -day at -230,000,000,000, while the pre-war wealth of Germany is esti mated to have been upward of $55,000,- 000,000. ` These figuresare all on the gold ; pre-war basis of values, having. been adjusted for inflation. The per capita wealth of Great Bri- tain to -day is placed at $1,489 and of , the different nations composing the British Empire at $418, including the wealth and population of India. The wealth of France is estimated, in 1913, to be $1,484 per capita and of the United States., $2,000 per capita. The wealth of Germany is placed at $901 per capita. The Bankers' Trust Company points out that the total wealth of the former belligerents has not materially changed as 'a result of the war, but that there has been a marked redistri- bution of such wealth, this redistribu- tion ' having taken place not only as between nations but also as between the 'peoples within" --the boundaries of, each nation: --Mfrs.

I suffered with fainting spells until I was no longer any good for my household duties and had to take to my bed.

I am sure it will do you good and will save those doctor's bills. So I was advised by my.husband to try it after I told him about it. I am very thankful to say that I was soon able to take a few boarders for a while as rooms were scarce at that time.
