Lead your owe patrol first, then the other patrols will want to follow, while the Scoutmaster will not ,ignore any reasonable proposition which has the united support of all the P. L.'s. Unity Is strength, and loyalty Is a Scout virtue which must stand out pro- minently, especially with Leaders. Enthusiasm. This sounds a nice word, but only a few P. L.'s can keep enthusiastic for a decent period. The blacker can be dealt with ,in various ways, but one of the chief obstacles to the patrol system Is the Patrol Leader who is not sleek, neither Is he very keen. A "luko warhi" Scout Is not going to ac- complish much for his patrol or troop. If a Patrol Leader Is not keen, he can- not expect his patrol to be enthusias- tic. A boy cannot hope to be a sue- cessful Leader unless he possesses something of that peculiar quality, that personal magnetism, or enthusi- as m,which attracts all the other mem- bers of the patrol, both in work and In pia. ' The Scouting spirit wants doctoring 1f you are not keen, so roll up your sleeves afresh, and put some ginger late your own patrol.,.,,. Ambition. It is very necessary for the Patrol Loader to have greater Scout know- ledge than the remaining' Scouts" in his patrol. The Leader should be able to give instruction in the second class tests, while he should constantly help to revive the Tenderfoot work. The principal object of the Patrol Leader is to make his patrol work interesting. He will, therefore, try to vary his routine as much as possible. Under the heading of Ambition, one must think of the word self-improve- ment, which means the ambition to progress in life by all fair means. 'A useful motto is "Aim' High." Diligence. Another jaw -breaker, but boiled down 1t means work hard and stick to your guns. Remember it is a privilege to be the Patrol Leader of a patrol of jolly boys. Oa your part it means self- sacrifice. Often you will be asked to give up your own desires and plea- sures for the benefit of the other boys. In your patrol. 1 can Imagine some saying that it is easy to talk about these ideals, but what about the. crowds- of difficulties which Patrol Leaders have to face? The only ans- wer is Cannot do It, scorn the thought, You can do whate'er you ought, On yourself and God rely, Trust and try, trust and try. In conclusion, no Patrol. Leader can ever hope to lead until hehas learnt a reverence for religion. A. Leader should believe in God, and God'a word. Th the olden days knighthood when It was bestowed, was a religious ceremony, and a Knight not only con- sidered himself a servant of the king, but also a servant of God. Try to imi- tate the Knights of old, and let all Leaders pass on to their boys the Scouting spirit—a spirit which can only be given out by those who have cultivated it themselves, EASY TRICKS No. 59 TheCards You Selected Thla is a mystifying card trick.. that any amateur can perform with- out skill. . Four persons select four cards each and remember the cards. If theyhave difficulty in remembering, they may make notes to help their memories*. The performer' how gath- ers the cards. Taking the pack of sixteen cards' in his hands (holding the cards face down, of course) he dealsthe cards ifeto'two heaps. The heap on which the top card was placed, is put on the other heap. The sixteen cards ase again dealt into two heaps and taken up as before. This is done twice (four times in all). The ca"rt'fs now dealt into four heaps, dealing the first four cards on one heap, etc The first heap is the cards se- lected by the first man; the second heap selected by the second than. and so on. A more effective finish' is for the magician - to hold the cards, behind his back and take out the cards as requested by each of the spectators. This Is just as easy as the other method as the.eards-are In the exact order. that they were in atter the cards were gathered from the spec- tators. INTS PAIN, IN THE JO IsAA "n Indication That the Blood is Thin and Watery. The first •sign of rheumatism is fre- quently a pato and swelling of one of the joints. If this is not treated through the blood, which is the seat of the disease, . the poison spreads—af- fecting other joints and tissues—some- times rheumatism attacks the heart and 1s fatal. A remedy that has corrected many cases of rheumatism is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills enrich and purify the blood so that the poisonous rheumatic matter is driven out of the system as nature intended. Miss Ger- tie Denne, Washago, Ont., was attack- ed with rheumatism and found relief through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says:—"About a year ago I was at- tacked ttacked by rheumatism and, for two Weeks was confined to my bed. The trouble was so painful, affecting .the joints of my limbs so that I could not stand alone. Mother bad a box of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills in the house and thought they might help me. I began taking them, and when I had taken these pills gat a further supply, with the result that the rheumatism van- ished and I was a well girl. I may add that my mother and two of my sisters have also need the pills for various ail- ments with equal success, and now we are never 'without them in the house." If you are suffering from any con- dition due topoor, watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr, Wit - Items' Pink Pills now, and note how your strength and health will improver You can get these pills through any dealer in medlctne, or by mail, at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

A specimen of the great auk was. captured alive off St. Kilda in 1821 and a later one in 1840. One or two specimens may ,have lingered on In Iceland or the Faroe Islands, but the auk evidently disappeared from the earth entirely about 1844 or 1845. ASPIRIN Say `Bayer" and Insist! Worried.

Rogers, in the London Times, recently, called Tristan da Cun- ha, that little island midway between South Africa and, South America, which possesses neither trade nor manufactures, and which is rarely visited by vessels. The inhabitants used to be certain' of a visit once a year from an official gunboat with stores,. mail and a doctor and a minis- ter on board; but, the tiny colony did not warrant the expense, and after due warning and after the people had been given an opportunity to leave the place, the boat was withdrawn; .

Compulsory Labor. "DOUG. HAINS" PALS UP WITH LEADING CHATEAU FRONTENAC DOG TEAM. Quebec will this year be the winter sport centre of the world. During the past four or five years its equable climate and exceptional sporting facilities have attracted even those who in previous years were wont' to winter In Switzerland and Norway, and during that season, the capital of French Canada 1s perhaps the most cosmopoli- tan and fashionable of cities in the Dominion. The great International Dog Derby, on February 21, 22 stud 23, will be one of the chief features of this season's pro;.ram. Thirteen teams, ten Canadian and three American, will enter for the gold cup which was won last season by Jean Lobel' of the frown Corporation, CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION Constipated children can find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative which, never fail to regulate the bowels and stomach, thus driving out constipation and indiges- tion; colds and simple fevers, Con- cerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, De - "Mein, Que, writes: "Baby's Own- Tab- lets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was suffering from con- stipation and indigestion: They quick- ly relieved him and now he is in the best of health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 26 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont. "An opportunity for a gala day came to 'them in October," records Mr. Rogers, "for there was a unique ehris- teeing; the first and only English baby ever born. on Tristan was baptized in the tiny island's church room. At day- break all the union jacks on the island some five of them, were hoisted at various flag poles and on the roof of the tiniest Jarsonege in the world— the missionary resides in a small two - roomed wooden hut. The day was fine and the people had put on their' smart- est martest clothes, which, having been pro- cured from passing ships years ago, were curious and wonderful. Soldiers' and sailors' uniforms, dress suits, corduroys, dungaree and early Vic- torian ladies'. garments gave the im- pression that a fancy-dress ball was going on. The people like bright col- ors,. and most of them wore a, rosette of colored ribbon or carried a bouquet. "The little school room at -St. Mary's Church was decorated with flowers, and at three o'clock every one who could squeeze in to it entered to watch the missionary baptize his own baby. Leading .Tristanites stood as spon- sors. The whole population was eager to act in that capacity, but it was de- cided to limit the number to six— four for Tristan and two for England,. As soon as the service was over there was tea drinking, and about a hundred people shook hauds and gave the health in tea A cake had been made, but, owing to the shortage of flour and raisins and the difficulty of getting milk, it was so small that it sufficed only for the sponsors and the parson- age folk. Every one else was pro- mised a piece of cake when the next ship tomes. "Those who could find anything to give made us presents for the baby, and he was soon the possessor of al- most half the money on the island— namely, an English Balt-erowo and a sixpence, • He received also several pairs of Tristan seeks, some colored 'picture' handkerchiefs and several strange articles of headgear known as Tristan 'cappies,' worn by the elhild- ren there.

Three days later I opened a letter from him, ,returning my cheque. I murmured: "So you are going to in- sist on payment: Well, you can sue me!" But on opening his letter I was as tonlshed to find these words: "Dear Mr. Vezin: I herewith return. your cheque. You made a mistake. My bill is one dollar and fifty cents." Not Guilty of Profiteering. Four years ago, said Mr. Charles Vezln, the landscape painter, in one of his confidential moments, I gave up the double life of commerce and art fon the single blessedness of painting. While exploring rural New England for a sketching ground I injured my shoulder and called on a country prao- titloaer. He was a man of culture and of real profession) attainments. When I left that part of the country I asked the good doctor to send me his bill. He did not do ao until a year and a half later. When I received a bill for one hundred and fifty dolars for pro- fessional services I looked at it aghast and thought: "Well, that ie pretty steep! A. hundred and fifty dollars for three visits to the office of a coun- try practitioner." I said to myself: "You confounded medioaI profiteer, I'd like to see you get It!" I was about to write him what our English friends call a I am the most valuable thing In life —its very essence. I ani as constant as law itself, as certain as principle. I am an ever -moving point in life, eternity for my past, eternity for my future. Some would mortgage me to the fu- ture, but it is impossible. You cannot use me to -day instead of to -morrow. I am the past and the future, and the present is mine also, even to the passing second. I am the beautifier of the dead, adorner of the ruin, comforter and only healer when the heart hath bled. Many thoughtless people are trying to kill me in idle talk and shiftless ways, but they only work their own destruction. I show no favoritism. I give of my- self to each impartially, without price or condition, to do as he pleases in the passing seconds, moments, hours. I give myself unreservedly 'to hu- manity. I am so necessary to your existence that it is impossible for you to sep- arate yourself from me. To kill me is to kill your own life, your power to do and to be; to Waste me is to ruin your possibilities, to wreck your career. Once passed you cannot recall me; nor, do I hold myself in reserve for your profligate abuse of me, your temptation to waste me, to squander the treasures I put within your grasp. No potentate or leader is powerful enough to bribe me, No fortune is big enough to redeem me. Rich men would give millions for a little more of me, but I ant not for sale. No am- ount of wealth can buy me. Those who have. been true to me have made fame and fortune, while untold millions who have been false to ole, who have tried to kill me, have Icst out in life, have lost their char- acters, their opportunities, their chances to make good, r AM TIME. —New Success, Turf is Used a Filter. Experhneets in Franee have shown that natural turf is an excellent ma- terial from which to form beds for the filtering of sewage. A volume of be- tween three and four cubic meters of sewage can be purified every day for every square meter of the surface of the turf, An experimental turf filter that has been in use for more than seven months shows no diminution of efficiency, If a larger proportion of sewage than that mentioned is em- ployed the filter proves less effective, It has been proved possible for the heart -beats of a patient to be trans- mitted by wireless to a doctor many miles away. 01d Zeph.
