TORONTO esef taws HIS ROOK Do you ever slip into hie room, So quiet now, so clean, so cool, And through the shades of twilight gloom Glimpse skates and boxing gloves, each tool Piled on a shelf—a bat, a ball, A tennis racket; over all The scent of shaving soaps and creams, The goal of early boyhood dreams -- '1`o think of him, your boy at school! And if a mother's heart you bear, His room becomes a hallowed place,. .And ere you think of leaving there You kneel beside his bed; your face Is pillowed where so oft his own Has lain, your boy so lately grown Into a man; and from your soul There throbs a prayer; in calm control You plead before the Throne of Grace: O God of mother hearts, whose boys Have gone from home to school or shop, Where once their whistling, romping noise- .

Be with them, God of tenderness; As they are thine, their young lives bless, And in temptation's trying hour Give them of thine all-conqu'ring power; O God of love, be with our boys. MEASLES HERE! The child who has contracted measles will probably break out with the rash fourteen days after the time of exposure. But he will show the first signs of illness three or four days before the eruption appears, and as this pre -eruptive stage is one of the most critical periods of the child's illness he must be under care ful supervision from the very start.' Nine or ten days after exposure the child who has contracted measles will' begin to show signs of "a cold." If the little ane develops a cough,' running nose, and watery eyes, keep' him at home in a room that is just( comfortable, neither too hot nor tool cold. If he has fever keep him my bed. If the trouble is measles the, rash will probably come out in four. days, but hear in mind that this is', not a rule without exceptions. I have, seen cases in which the rash has de-! layed a full week without the child being the worse for the delay. The rash of measles is first de- tected inside the mouth and throat. You may see it on the soft palate and the mucous membrane of the cheeks thirty-six hours before it comes on the skin. When it breaks out It generally begins on the face and around the ears and is blotchy instead of uniform. A fine. uniform rash ap- pearing first on the chest, indicates scarlet fever, hut a blotchy, rough - looking rash that comes nut first on the face and has with It some swell- ing around the eyes le almost sure to be measles, Do not make the mistake of cutting all air and light in the room. Keep the room at a temperature of about 70 degrees. Shade the windows enough to remove strain from the eyes but do not make the room really dark. Bo careful to see that the pa- tient does not face a window, Do not make him uncomfortably warm by too much bedding. All that is needed is tp keep the skin et a comfortable temperature. Remember that the great complication of measles i broncho -pneumonia and when you overheat your patient you are givin that disease an invitation. In the ordinary cases the rash goe away about as quickly as it came— three or four days. The fever comes up just preceding the outbreak of the rash and drops as it becomes full developed. In a week the patien may be up in a warm room if all has ( gone well.

"I'll wager that the man who wrote that never was at the peals,"•retorted Marco lightly, In spite of all- that Carl could say, Marco took a :long, deep drink from his flask and pushed forward. But the storm drove on more and more fiercely. "I must sleep just a moment, then I can go on," he said drowsily, and stuck down beside a great drift. Carl pleaded. He shook the man and pulled hire, and dragged him as far as he could. But he himself stumbled and fell, and before he could get upon his feet a audden whirlwind of snow had covered his friend. He felt about in the storm and darkness, but there was no trace of him to be found. Heavily he plodded on. Late in the night there was a ring at the Hospice door, so faint ;and tremulous that the good father who answered it almost believed khat he had dreamed of the sound. The story was soon' told. "It may not be too late," said the monk, "Our best dogs were sent the moment we heard that a man was out. They will find him and he will be brought in," bruised.

I How to keep the kitchen cool is a problem in summer. One woman has solved it niceiy. Here is her method: "Use the basement. Do the cook- ing there and eat there. Make it your summer kitchen." Five years ago, when her house i was built, the basement was finished as carefully as the rest of the house. It was divided into four big rooms -- kitchen, fruit cellar, storeroom and furnace room. The walls were plas- tered throughout and the woodwork ;and doors were painted gray. The kitchen is 25x15 feet, extending 'the width of the house, with windows facing east and west. The west end of the room is used as a dining -room. Here is found, be- sides the Jong table and chairs, an old-fashioned bookcase with two com- fortable rockers. A twelve -foot square of linoleum softens the cement floor, and on the shelf beneath the neatly curtained windows are an old- fashioned clock and a couple of plants. All woodwork and furniture in the room are painted a cool gray, and touches of color are introduced in the book bindings, the rocker -cushions and the bowl of flowers or fruit that usually graces the dining table. GOODHOUSEKEEPING. Great responsibility is placed to- day upon the woman who is handling the food whirh is to furnish physical fitness, good health and give the hu- man being sufficient energy to go forth to their daily business so that they, too, may be able to conquer the world. You see trhnut you the ailing folks sufeeinir from many digestive ail- ments that would speedily disappear if the housewife would make a study of foods and the proper methods of cooking so as to rnnserve the nutri- tive value, as well as appearance, of the food.

But his brain 'was stupid and dull, his eyes were dim and misty; wild fancies and terrors had seized upon him, and while Barry was barking joyfully for help, his only thought was that a wild beast had attacked him. He fumbled with unsteady hand, pulled out his knife, and stabbed the loving friend who, with no thought of his own suffering, was, with all -his strength, struggling to drag him to shelter. The brave dog's blood red- dened the snowflakes that whirled angrily around them. Barry's steps staggered more and more. At the gate he dropped and his eyes closed. The monks knelt around- him and Watched him tends 1 r y. "Barry, Barry! cried Carl, in a voice a that trembled with affection and 'grief. • Barrymoved his ,head slightly. His eyes opened. He looked slowly from one to another, all around the little group, last of all at Carl.. For a mo- ment he questioned. Then there came into his eyes the light of a great joy, He made a familiar sound, faint and distant, it seemed, but yet clear and distinct. It was "Barry's welcome"— and his farewell. So Barry died, in 1816, after twelve years of unselfish, faithful service. When the cemetery for dogs was opened in Paris the place of honor was given to a monument in his mem- ory: This shows the little girl on his back whom he rescued after the fall of the avalanche. She is holding fast to him and Barry's head is turned a little toward her as if he was telling her to trust him and not be afraid, for he would surely carry her safely home. .

ORIGIN OF THE NAME "YEI,LOWHE' A Pl Mr In 114e i801 Report of the Geographic Boated of Canada which is now la the press, Its acidities* to Lite deeialees of the hoard since its commencetnept, there is given in brief form lite origin of the naves ruled upon where this is known. In many cased more deteiled Information is In the Words of the Board and can be supplied to persons interested in the meaning dlkauy par, ticular "ante, One of the most interesting place- names is Yeliowheed Pass,, one of tee most famous of all Rocky Mountain passes. The pass (ekes its name from a spot at its western entrance, where the Robson river coming south from Mount Robson joins the Fraser. Here was Tete Janne cache, or in English, Yet- lowitend cache. From being applied to the cache, thename spread to the pass, the earliest name of which was the Leather, pass, so called because supplies of dressed "loose and carlboo skins for mocasslns, repos, oto,, were taken west by the tur-traders through this gateway to New Caledonia, whore leather was scarce. Tete Jaune cache was known by this "sine in 1827, but the first clue to the meaning of the name is in "The North- west Passage by Land," a book pub - nailed in 1865, describing the adven- turous journey of two Englislt Uni- versity students (Milton and. Cheadle) aeross Canada to the Pacific via the Yellowhead pass. The author of this book states that Tete Jaune cache was "stecalled from being the spot chosen by an Iroquois trapper, known by the sobriquet of the Tete Sauna or Yellow - head, to hide the furs he obtained on the western side." The only ether printed reference to the origin of the name is in a letter to the Montreal Gazette in 1874 from Malcolm McLeod, whose father, John McLeod, was a figure of some note in the fur ,trade in the -third decade of the nineteenth century. His diaries, letters and papers were in the posses. sion of the son. McLeod states that Tete Jaune caste commemorates a French Canadian uamed Decolgne who cached Iris furs here, The statement reads as follows: "Tete Jaune was so called from the color of the hair—not infrequent amongst French Canadians of Breton and Norman French origin —of a enterprising French trapper, of the name of Decolgue, who used this singularlyappropriate locallty--an Im- mense hollow, but comparatively Level. of some 70 square miles In area, amongst the mountains there—for his "cache" or entrepot to his line of work." There Is one person named Doeolgne in far trade annals. This Is Francois Decolgne, whom John McDonald (one of the early fur traders, called to dis- tinguish hint from others of the name "John McDonald of Garth") .in lris autobiography styles "a young Cana- dian gentleman from Berthler, M.
