Practical experience in Canada has Produced the following general rules for the organization of a Scout Troop that will last, and that will realize for the boys the real intent and possibili- ties of the Scout training: (a) Select a ?Troop Committee of capable men really interested in the church or community boy wort*, and wfiio baye first read such informative literature as What Smelting Is and Does, What Are You Going to Do With Your Boy? The Wolf Cub, the Troop Committee, furnished free on Replica- Non by Provincial Headquarters, ;Boor and Sherboerne Streets, Toronto, (b) A suitable meeting place. (e) A Scoutmaster suggested'by the boys themselves; preferably, if there Is a eholee, a man with sons of bis own, (d) In epite of pressure, a small be- ginning, made by selecting three or four natural boy leaders as Patrol Leaders, and the selection by these boys of their Seconds, (a) The training of P. L's. and Secoude by the Scoutmaster until they have passed their Tenderfoot and Second, Class Tests. Then, - (f) The. adding to the Patrols; one by one, of Tenderfoot„ candidates chosen by Patrols themselves, and trained to pass their Tenderfoot tests by the P. L. or Seconds. (g) Study by the Scoutmaster of Scenting for Boys, The Handbook for Canada, Aide to-Scoutmastership, The Patrol System, Scouting Games. (b) Monthly reading by the Scout- master of The Scout Leader.

The Horse to His Driver in Summer. If a horse could talk he would have many things to say to his drlyer . in summer. He would say:— "Water me often when the heat is intense, a little at a time 1f.I am warm; don't water me to soon after I have eaten, and always at night when I have eaten my hay, "When the sun is hot let me breathe once in it while in the shade of some house or tree. Anything upon my Bead, to keep off the sun, is bad for me unless it is kept wet, or unless the air can circulate freely underneath it, "If I stopsweatingsuddenly, or if I act strangely, breathe short and quick, or if my ears droop, get me lnto the shade at once, remove harness and bridle, wash Out my mouth, sponge me all over, shower my logs, and give :no two ounces of aromatic spirits of am- monle, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre in a pint of water, or a pint of warm coffee. Cool my head at once, using cold water, or if neceossary chopped ice wrapped in a cloth. warm night In a narrow stall •neither properly cleaned nor bedded unfits use for wart*. 'Turning the hose on ire ha 'too risky a thing to do unless you. are looking for a slek horse.

Brook :Trout. "0 tell me," asked the artist of a man Who gazed into a dell through which there ran A little babbling brook -- "What do you see in yonder silver stream?"

"0 that, you cannot mean!" the artist cried; ",To catch those wondrous sliades, I long have tried, But ere my paints are mixed, From bronze and green they've changed to argent: grays— To catch a hue, I've waited many ° days- A tint that le not fixed."

With every dose they improve and invigorate the blood, anal this new blood means health aid etrougth. Mrs. A. Griffiths, Pierson, Mian., is one of the many thousands who have proved the value of these pills. She says:—"I was se badly run down in Health that I was almost bedfast. The least exertion would leave the breathless, I suffered from headaches and backaches and bad no appetite. I could onlydrag about the house and found even itght housework almost impossible. I tried several remedies but they did not do me a particle of good. Then a friend came for a visit and she urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had finished the second box'I could feel that they were helping ate. By the time I had taken four boxes more T was 0 well woman and every symp. tom of my trouble had disappeared. It would not be possible for me to say too much in favor of this medicine, and I' always recommend it, to run- down people, and have eeen,it prove just as satisfactory in outer cased' If you are weak and run-down you can begin getting new strength 'to- day by taking Dr, Williams' Pink Pills.

Ever since locks were first applied to treasure chests, says Chamber's Journal, a oentest of wits has gone on between the thief and the maker of strong rooms and boxes. Qf late years manufacturers haveused the most re- sistant materials in combination' with the finest workmanshie and the most intricate examples of the locksmith's craft 'Sideby side with those efforts ]las gone the adoption of explosives by the burglar and Hnai:ly of -the oxyacety- lene torch. The use of exploslVes tete menufac- turer countered by making the doors of safes and strong rooms fit so close. that no crack was available in which to insert the nitroglycerin tor blow- ing pieces off. But fir a long time now the burglar has been able to cut! through any safe or strong -room door with the oxyacetylene- torch. Recently, however, a metal alloy has been invented that successfully resists the intense heat of that flame even if • it is applied for the fifteen hours or so that -a burglar can safely work during a` week -end. Moreover, an important alteration has been made in the disposition of the material's, in sates and strong -room doors. ,.Instead of placing the new alloy outside, the manufacturers glace It near the inside lining of the safe or of the door. That gives the burglar far more trouble for he has to cut through twelve, inches or more of special steel and fireproof material before he can get at the re- sistant alloy, , At a recent demonstration at the works of the originators of the metal an oxyacetylene torch was played on one spat of a plate of the new alloy for fifteen minutes without any 'visible effect other than raising a slight blis- ter. The same torch when tried on or- dinary steel cut through it rapidly, It will be interesting to see whether the burglar will be able to overcome the new obstacle. For the present the honors are with the sate -maker. Last year 198,000 people emigrated from Great Britain -92,000 more than in 1922.

It's doing grand! It was a pretty tuft of yellow stone - crop, starred with tiny golden flowers, A few questions about its uses as a "pin plant" and the girl, laughing and blushing, admitted that it was custom. ary among the girls of the village to pin a tuft of the budded plant upon their bedroom wall as an oracle of love, If it lived feebly but did not bloom, their present love affairs would come to nothing; if it withered and died,, they would meet disaster in love; but if at the end of a few days the little plant, suspended by a loose- ly -tied thread head downwards from its pin, began to curve its stens up- ward till they stood upright and final- ly the tips burst into bloom—then all was well, and they might expect to marry and live happy ever after.
