"0 Jim see that poor litble
)sirtl I"
Jim came to the window and
looked put over his sister's shoul-
der. r'I think Iie'e hungry," he
said. "'Why don't you give him a
party?"
"What 'kind of party?" Lou in-
quired. "I didn't know that birds
had parties,"
"Bet 1 Lhink they'd like one,"
Jim anewet'ed. "Tot's make ib a
Christmas party, and hang that
pine-bree with bread and suet."
"What fun 1 We might invite the
two equirrele, and have nuts for
them I"
They ran into the kitchen, where
another helped them cut suet into
nix big pieces and the bread into
two-inch slices. Lou cub the string
!fate thirty pieces, each two feet
long; aid Jim showed her how to
tie a piece of the red twine about
each piece of bread and suet, so
as to leave six or eight inches of
twine a the end.
"What's that for, Jim?"
"Why, to tie them on the brae, of
course," he explained.
They decided to put the .nuts in
a deep dish and set ib ou the
gro god,
Out hi the garden the little pine -
tree beckoned to them with all of
its needle fingers. Jim was taller,
and so he tied the suet to the top
branches, while Lou fastened the
bread to the lower ones.
"I'm glad it's almost dark," Lou
said, ee they were finishing, "or
they might find their presents be-
fore morning.,,
That night, when Lou went to
bed, their pine looked like a real
Christmas true, bub there were no
candles; in the morning even the
candles ?vera there, for ib had rain-
ed in the night, and then frozen,
and ib had even ' snowed a little.
Tiny icicles hung from each branch,
and looked just like candles, and
the light snow frosted everything
over with patches of white.
While the children stood at the
wiudow, a snowbird hopped across
the yard, cocked his head on one
side, looked ab the tree, and began
to sing,
"He's saying thank you!" Lou
cried. But his song ended in a
hurry, for a chickadee came along,
flew into the tree, and began to
peek at a piece of bread. Imme-
diately the snowbird chose a lump
of suet for his breakfast,-
Ib'was nob long before hall a doz-
en birds were chattering happily in
the tree. Soon a big father squir-
rel came along.
"O.dear, 1 don't believe he'll see
the lintel" Lou cried. But he did;
and he made a jump at the dish,
and with a out in his mouth, he
frisked off to the rose -bed, to bury
his treasure. He did it again and
again.
The birds and squirrels spent
most of the day in or near the
tree, and they seemed so happy,
cuddled up in the branches,, that
Jim -made a suggestion; "Let's
build a food -stand. near the pine -
tree, and feed them all winter,"
The children built the stand, and
kept it clean and supplied with
food until spring.
One April day Jim said to his sis-
ter, "Wli me what you have learn-
ed n.bout Birds."
"I've found out that the snow-
birds stay all winter," eaid his
sister, "ern? that the robins are
rare. -Then I know' that blue jays
are nob so quarrelsome as people
sa'--it they have enough to eat,
I've learned thing& about the birds,
but. beet of all, I've learned to love

I';eeds Oldest Name.
Leeds is eminentlyenodern to the
superficial glance, but its name is
one of the oldest things in England.
It may or may not have been de-
rived from an ancient British chief -
tale named Leod. Bub undoubtedly
the •town of. Loidis took its name
from the forest region eo-coiled,
which seems to have been identical
with the. British kingdom of Elmet
that survived until conquered by
Edwin of gorthumbria, in the sev-
enth century. In the thickets and
forests which screened the town of
Leeds the :last wolf ever seen in
Yorkshire is said to have been kill-
ed by John of Gaunt. 'And there

Best Liniment or All "
Destroys Every Pain
But Never Burns.
"How thankful we are to get bold
of such a wonderful household rem-
ody as Nerviline," writes hire. Ifl, P.
Lamontagne from her home near We-
taskawin, Alberta. "In this faraway
section, far away from a 'doctor or
druggist, every family needs a good
supply of liniment, Nerviline is the
beet of all. It destroys every pain,
but never burns, We use Nerviline
in a scorn of ways, if it'a rheum -
tem, aching back, pain in the aide,
sciatica or stiff nock,—you San laugh
at them if you have lots of Nerviline
handy. For earache, toothache or
cramps I don't think anything could
act more quickly. For a general all-
round pain remedy I can think of no-
thing more valuable and speedy to
cure than Nerviline."
The above letter is convincing—it
tells how reliable and trusty this old-
time remedy is. Nerviline for forty
years has been a household word in
Canada. Scarcely a home in Canada
you can find without Nerviline. Every
community has its living examples of
the wonderful curative properties of
Nerviline which will cure pains and
aches anywhere in the Joints or mus-
01es. It's penetrating, soothing,
warming and safe for young and old
to use. Get the large 50c. family size

?TALE MILLION YEARS AGO.
Questions Raised by Finding An-
cient Skull in England. •
Among anthropologists and oth-
ers who are more interested in
'where man came tram than where
he is going to a spirited contro-
versy has arisen over the question
whether the fossil skull discovered
some time ago in England belonged
to a manlike ape or to an ape -like
man. Gorilla teeth fit into the
skull fairly well; therefore its pos-
sessor was a monkey. But human
teeth also fit; therefore the origi-
nal owner of the skull was a man.
Some experts insist that he was
a very intelligent ape, others that
he was a man of .low intelligence,
and speechless. Bub all agree that
he must have lived at least 500,000
years ago. Unfortunately all the
teeth are missing except two, and
these have no marks of dentistry.
This adds to the difficulty of ,the
problem.
But the date, 500,000 B.C., is in-
teresting. It is .reckoned on the
basis of the 'time acquired for cave
lime deposits to form, if—and the
"if" looks like a big one—"if they
aocumlulated at the present rate of
growth of stalagmites." '
The date is hardly more plausible
or convincing than the one given by
an expert of an entirely different
school, who fixed the time of the
creation of man at 4004 B.O,, Sep-
tember 23, at half -past nine in the
morning, Eastern limo.
Fortunately for the human race
greater efforts are being made to
solve the question of 1918 A.D.
than 500,000 B.O.
SELF DELUSION.
Many People Deceived by Toa and
Coffee.

cies and habits even though we
may be convinced of their actual
harmfulness.
A anan own convince himself that
whiskey is good for 'him on a cold
morning, or boor un a hot summer
day—when he wants the whiskey
or beer.
It's the same with tea and oof-
fee. Thousands of people suffer
headache and nervousness year
after year, but try to 'persuade
themselves the cause is not tea or
coffee—because they like it.
"While yet a child '1 commenced
using coffee . and continued it,"
writes a Western man, "until I
was a regular coffee fiend. I drank
it every morning and in conse-
quence had a blinding headache
nearly every afternoon.
Tea is just as injurious because
it contains caffeine), the same drug
found in coffee,
"My folks thottight it was coffee
that ailed me, but I liked it and
would nob admit it was the cause
of any trouble, so I stuck to coffee
and the h'eadaches stuck to me.

IIRELISi2 LA:BORElt'S LOT.
Ono Found it Bard to Support Nino
on $2.85 a Week.
The lot of the rural worker un-
der the present wage rate was em-
phasized at an inquest at West
Worliegbon, North Devon, on the
five-year-old daughter of William
Payne, a farm -laborer, says iRey-
nold's Newspaper. The mother stat-
ed that the child had been delicate
almost from birth. She did every-
thing possible for. her family? but
she found it hard to maintain a
family of seved ehiidren on her hus-
band's wages of lls. Bd. (02.83) per
week.
The father gave similar evidence,
and admitted that the bedding was
.insufi]cient, Ile did not know how
he was going to get more, lb tran-
spired that when the sheets were
being.washed there was only an old
patchwork quilt left on the beds,
and some of the children were with-
out boots.
Dr. Brown said the child was so
emaciated that it only weighed 28
pounds, death being clue to pneu-
monia and tubercular disease. The
doctor thought ib impossible for
the mother to clo more with her hut -
band's wages. The coroner agreed,
and said it was a wonder there was
a single child of the family living.
The verdict was "natural pauses,"
and the jury, doctor and coroner,
all voted sums for the relief of the
family.

ROSES ARE POISONOUS.
Tho Violet, Also, Is By No Means
Safe For Very Many.
The rose, •bleat queen of flowers,
is deadly°, You do not believe it?,
Yet it is so. Giddiness and verbigo
after inhaling the perfume of roses
is by no means uncommon, and
sometimes a peouliar form of mad-
ness is set up by an individual be-
ing shut up for a period in a room
where a large number of vases hold-
ing roses aro set oub.
The violet, another grand flower,
is by no means safe for very many.
It has a mosb distressing effect on
the vocal chords of some, and ren-
ders many people quite husky if
they inhale the perfume too long.
Thp lily is a, really dangerous flow-
er, and before now a person has
died as: a result of sleeping in a
room where many lily booms were
set out in glasses.
It is always risky to go to aieep
in a room• where plants in bloom
abound—you never know just what
effect the perfumes may have on
your constitution. And it must be
remembered that the odor of flow-
ers is much more pronounced dur-
ing the nightthan during the day,.
and any sleeper gets the benefit.
The exact result of sleeping ip a
room where many blooms are is
this—you sleep soundly under the
influence of a narcotic. Have you
not felt drowsy in a room well fill-
ed with flowers 1 Yes. Well, that
was a slight case of narcotic poison-
ing.
A great singer will not allow a
bouquet of flowers to approach too
near his or her nostrils—that might
be a case of courting disitster ; if
violets in abundance were in the
bouquet the voice ,might be impa.ir-
ed for the rest of the evening.
The prirnula is 'a very favorite
flower, but one variety is dangerous
—the primula obcomen.; it is dead-
ly to some. Seine can handle the
plant with safety; ethers, if they
are scratched by the leaves, con-
tract blood -poisoning.
Pure white flowers are usually
deadly, and yellow ones are little
less dangerous, The beautiful lily

flower, so is the croons, so also is

A farmer in the parish of Maitland,
Nova Scotia, recently came across a
skunk's nest that had three tiny young
ones in it. The little skunks were only
a day or two old, and instead of ruth-
lessly destroying them, the farmer
picked them up and carried them
home, The family cat had been rais-
iug a litter of four kittens, three of
whom the farmer had drowned, and
after a few suspicious sniffs, she con-
sented to• adopt the little skunks in
place of the lost kittens. The skunks
did not suckle in quite the same way
as the kitten, and it was interesting
to watch Tabby push and box them
into position, She soon got them in
excellent order, and pussy and her

Weapons on Head.
The Japanese ars fond of swim-
ming, and it is the custom for stu-
dents of the universities and
school to 00 to the seaside during
the summer months and there: train
systematical ly.
A.nlong the coast populations
there are found many long-distance
swimmers. E. J. Harrisers .in hie
book on "The Fighting Spirit of
Japan," tells of some remarkable
feats performed by these swimmers.
For example, they can jump into
deep water and maintain a position
with the water no higher than the
loins while firing a. musket, shoot-
ing with bow and arrow, writing on
a slate, painting it picture on a fan
with a brush, or moving freely in
every direction as though walking
on solid ground.
The expert, while lige rarely emu-
lates the graceful high dive of the
European or .American, can leap
from a great height and strike the
surface of the water with his chest,.
without striking or wetting his face
and head. In some mysterious way
he 'contrives to escape the painful,
consequences which the impact
k•ould inevitably cameo to the for-
eigner who should try this feat. It
is said that the old-time samurai
frequently made use of this trick
when crossing a river or stream.
In such cases they carried their ar-
mor and weapons on their heads.
In illustration of the antiquity of
swimming in Japan, it may interest
foreign readers to be told that the
famous "crawl” stroke, which Oc-
cidental swimmers firsb acquired
not very long ago, has been known
and praotised in Japan for hull-,
areas of years, in addition to sev-
eral other methods of progression
in the water that would come as a
revelation to Europeans and Ameri-
cans.
