What bappened at.. the meeting Is told by the great Irishman himself:— " `Kipling,' I said, 'I suppose we can shake heeds on neutral -soil, although I would shake bands with you any- where.' " 'Haven't they shot you yet?' asked Kipling. . ' 'No, but when they do shoot me,' I replied, 'I would like you to write a dirgee about ra e' l1edelighted,'ed' said Kipling."

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 en the surveyor's telescopes or for field glasses. The Web is taken front the insects by allowing them to drop from a loom. As fast as they drop, the web, left be- hind, is wound on epee's and placed in storage. A certain species kne n as We Michigan grey and br t n' n v spotted spider is raised for the purpose. • Where Fishing is Easy.

The orange, on the other hand, while it has some food value,nis tonic and appetizing in its effect so that the indifferent appetite is stimulated rather than satisfied, and the child eats more heartily at regular meal times. Oranges contain nature's most bene- ficial natural acid, which, strangely enough, is alkaline in its effect, Never sweeten oranges very much, as the sugar tends to ferment in weak stom- achs, and the individual then blames the orange for the acid condition thereby produced. Orange juice in its fresh, natural state, is easily digested even by very young babies, and no- thing surpasses it as a child tonic and laxative for old and young, strong or feeble persons.

In her many talks all over Canada for the promotion of social hygiene work, Mrs, Panitleirst aften mentioned what she considered Its two aims. First, to scents ter all children their three -fold birthright, physical, moral and social health; and aecend, to make a practical effort to apply the principle of Christianity to human life, and thereby wipe out the double standard of morality.

Keep right an 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 un_ dergone two fundamental changes.

For though we are social and grega- rlous,atnd commonly enjoy being com- municative, we are usually not so good at hearing others as we are at telling our own affairs and "thinking out loud" on the assumption that what is of such keen concern to ourselves ought to be interesting to others.
