Four` or five of the girls gathered in Marie's room in the dormitory every afternoon after classes, for she had the largest tea pot of the group, and the girls enjoyed their afternoon tea. "Digging a well?" repeated Merle. "Yes, don't you know about the man in the Psalms, 'who, passing through -elm valley of Baca, made it a well'?" repress Betty. Please explain just whom you haveve been digging it on or in or with," de- manded l 6r S' g , manded the girls "It just means doling. something that you do not get anything outeof your- self, and that isn't any fun doing," said Betty. "I discovered that Jessie Bowen was wild with the toothache. A tooth ulcerated, and the girl's face is all swollen up like a balloon! The poor child didn't sleep last night and , has walked the floor to -day; she is at My table in the dining -room, and when she didn't appear for two meals I stopped in to see her. Poor child, her room was in a mess; she hadn't had much to eat, for she hated to, go to the dining -room, so I turned in to dig a well. I got her something to eat, cleaned up her room and then fixed hot water bottles on her face and stroked her arm until her nerves got settled and she went to sleep. Oh, you would have done it too if you had been there. I'm not the only one who digs wells. Last week when Professor Roth assigned seats in Spanish B he put Jane Brown next to Susan Bell, both of them right in front of me. What did Jane do in that desolate valley of Baca? She promptly dug a well; instead of turning round to talk to me before class began she told Su- san funny stories, asked her about her math exams, and generally chum- med with her as if she enjoyed it. Susan is just queer, you know=too rnuch old maid aunt and too much • money. Now Jane says Susan Is a real good sort, and she is going out to their house in town for Sunday tea. "You know," continued Betty, "sometimes when you dig a well you get something for your trouble, a1-1 though that isn't the main point of my little story. That man going; through, the valley found it dry and? desolate, but instead of hurrying oni and finding pleasanter places he stop-{ pod. I'm sure it was disagreeable at± first, espeeialiy as he was doing it, not because he expected to stay and enjoy' the well himself, but because he thought of others who might need rest and comfort. But he probably receiv- ed his share of enjoyment of the well, and in making the valley a pleasanter place for others he blessed himself. More tea, please—quick, before Ii preach too much!"

NOURISHING THE BABY -TO -BE. Every expectant mother wishes her child to be strong and well. One of the best ways to do this is to feed herself properly during pregnancy. because the child depends solely on the mother for nourishment during' the greateet growth period of its life —the months before birth. During this period the child le dependept on the mother for all the , materials of which the body is made. Scientific investigation has taught some useful lessons on the influence of the parents' diet on the offspring. Rats were fed on carefully controlled diets and the results noted under different types of feeding. The conclusions of these experiments are interesting. The diet of the lathe' before conception had no influence on the young. The mother's food, however, did have an effect on the young she produced. The healthiest litters of ,young rats were born to the mothere who were fed ade-. guately, though :a poor, deficient diet had an effect worse on the mother than on the offspring. When the moth- er's food did not supply the necessary building material, the mother's tissues were used up to supply the need of the young. Only when there was great lack of food dill the young suffer. These experiments show that Na- ture tries to promote normal develop- ment of the offspring even under un- favorable conditions; it materials for the growth of the baby are lacking in the food they will be drawn as far as possible from the mother's bo.y Thus, if the diet he defleient In calcium and phospborue for bene i;ormetion, they mother's bonee,and teeth are likQly to be the Alert to be drawn upon to supply the logs, though, of course, a great aoareity will eventunily affect the baby. Mille which contains lime and 1 phoepberus w1:1 help to proteet th,• mother's teeth' from decay during pxegnanoy. During the early stpgea many moth- ers suffer from "morning sielaaess." The cause of this sieknes.+ Is not in the stomach itself but is duo to the fact that the embryo is not yet perfectly established and a mild form of poison - thy results. The disappearance of the morning t•iekne:s is ten indication that the connection between mother and child Is well established and from this time on the mother's appetite should. steadily improve. From the end of the fourth month the mother needs an extra quantity of food. The child is growing rapidly during this period and the mother re- quires aboot one-fifth more food than normally, or about the same amount as a man dohsg manual labor.

The ceremony of introduetion was soon over, Kit was solemnly delivered to the Dominie. The door wasshut, and the 'lad found himself for the first time withiu the walls of a school, fie looked nervously round, not from any fear of his fellowsscholars, but with the natural instinct of a newly - trapped aninial: However, upon a sec - end look he was somewlat. reassured. He thought he could manage the door before the Dominic could catch him, if he got anything like a fair start. Presently the hum of the school droned lower and lower. The arith- metic pupils along the wall commuted as to ,results in subdued tones. The writing classes joggled each other's arias and elbows with cautious Ore eumspection. Dominie Duncanson leaned back in his -desk and bethought him of his new pupil. "New boy, what's your name?" be said: "Kit ,Kennedy, sir," said Kit, the polite son of his father, rising to his feet. The action instantly aroused the deepest resentment in, the breast of every boy in Whinnyliggate School. They gazed at him in amazed horror. "Did ye hear him?"—the whisper ran swiftly as ill news athwart the school—" , he said Sir!' And he stood up to answer the maister" And then heads were shaken, aria resolves were taken that betokeried no good to Kit Kennedy. Such a disgrace ieecte"et been heard of in Whinnylig- gate School within the memory of boy. Who was this upstart that had come off the heather to take away their good name? "Coni ''here, my boy," said the mas- ter, more kindly still—for he loved gentle breeding, though, indeed, he did little to inculcate it among the boors of `t hinnyliggate, "and let me hear what you can do in the way of les- sons." Kit marched towards the master's desk, heedless of the nips and pinches which took effect upon his legs, the sly kicks aimed at his shins and the feet thrust privily out to trip him, so that he might fall from his supposed high place of "mister's favorite" A boy' ata side desk dropped a slate with a great clatter. "What's that?" cried the Dominie angrily, looking in the direction of the culprit, "Please, it was the new. boy "that joggled me," said the noisemaker, with a prompt mendacity which endeared him to the whole school -or, at least, to the male portion of it. The Dominie looked severely at Kit. "He is a liar," said Kit, calmly, giv- ing back glance for glance. " Now, in Whinnyliggate, to call your enemy a "lee-er," the ordinary pro- nunciation of commerce, is less than nothing, But the assertion that he Is a "liar" must be hacked with your knuckles on his nose. "Silence,' sir," cried the master; "let me not hear that word used in my school again, or—" He paused grimly, and fingered the taws, while for the first time Kit rose in the esti. oration' of the school, After a long and severe gaze, which Kit bore unflinchingly, the master said, "Read." Kit looked about for a book, and, not seeing a school -book handy, he calmly lifted a pamphlet which had been laid face downwards on the sacred desk of state itself. He turned it deftly in his hand, with the manner of one well accustomed to books, and began to read. It was "Macaulay's History of England," just then being published in a cheap. form and in monthly numbers, with double columns. Kit plunged straight into the famous chapter on the state' of England in 1685, while theenaster. gasped, and the school paused in its scufi]ings to listen in an amazed con- tempt, which slowly sank into a kind of dull uncomprehending disgust. At the end of the first page the master seemed about to speak, but Kit, detecting his intention by means of the same instinct by which he knew o that the minister in the Kirk was tacking for the port of "Finally, m;• h brethren," dodged under the master' intended command to stop, and l,rt. ceeded to the end of the lung pu' graph• "Eh, maister," he.ss'id cinthetetsetle ally, "but that's grand!

"You shall have the loan of the book," he said; "I will walk over to the Dornal with it myself!" Kit went back to hie Place calmly elated: He had got the promise of a new book to read --a happiness only known tr those vtho have been reared with a mighty desire for reading and few opportunities of gratifying it. 1 Kit had not been many moments at his place in the class nominated the "tenpenny," to which his proficiency in Macaulay had raised him—a bad eminence, indeed, in that it made hien the mark of envy—ivhen a paper ap- peared on the desk before him. It came mysteriously, dropping apparently from the roof, or perhaps materialis- ing itself out of the solid wood. For no hand laid' it there, .nor `was any forefinger seen to project it flippantly from the cover of a book by that deft universal Post which all sch c1 boy e know so well. The manuscript as w exceedingly dirty, and bore in Targe, irr.egula, straggling pencil capitals the irregular, straggling pencil capitals the following threatening message: "SUCK Be WITH TILE MA1STER17—WE'LL WARM XE WHEN WE. 0555 YE 00T." Kit gazed at the writing, and recog- nized, with ecog-nized,with the quick instinct of youth, that he had rough times immediately in front of him, But he was undis- mayed, for if he had, anything like fair -play he thought he could give at least as good as he got. But he was to walk home with his mother, and he did not wish to fight that day. So he turned the paper .and laboriously printed the words "THE MORN" upon the reverse, as an indication of the date of the battle.•,Then he despatched the missive to his unknown challenger by the simple process of handing the grimy cartel of defiance to the near- est boy, who forwarded it round the desks, avoiding those occupied by girls, who according to their nature would certainly "tell." At last came the welcome noonday interval common to all schools, and known in Whinnyliggate by the suffi- ciently descriptive appellation of "denner-time." Kit was a little• late in getting out.. The Dominie detained him to ask a few questions as to who had taught him to read, and what books he had mastered. Kit answered at random, with his eyes hungrily on the paper -covered number of Macau- lay which told such wonderful things. At last he escaped fromtheteacher and ran down the little playground— which was so steep that when any one fell on it they never stopped rolling till they came to the gutter in the roadway beneath. The children had i all vanished. So Kit ran along under the tall Lombardy poplars to find his 1 mother, who had promised to wait his I coming there to ask him of his ex -1 periences.
