One day, when the long winter was nearly over and when there were signs o£ spring in the sunny earners of the woods, on the tops of the bills and in the fields, Ray Coon told Mother Coon that he mounted to go fishing through the ice. "Very well," said Mother Coon, "I think that is a good idea. I'm getting hungry for a fish dinner myself. But he careful! The ice is getting pretty thin, you know," "Oh, 1 wont's get into any trouble," promised Ray Coon, as he hurried away to find the pole and the line. When he reached the pond he picked up a stout stick that he found on the shore, and Ile made his way carefully out on the ice a few steps. Then he raised the stout stick and brought down the end, thump! bang! crash! on the ice until he broke a hole big en- ough to fish through. He had to wait a long time for the 4 first bite. At last there was a sud- den tugging on the line, and Ray Coon pulled it back sharply as it begin to slip through his hands. Then he drew to the surface a plump fish that he removed from the hook and Laid on the ice behind him. From that time he had fine luck. Three more fish, as large and as plump as the first one, lay on the ice when his hook caught something that he could not move. He pulled and pulled, but it was of no use. Now, while all this was happening, the Fos boys bad left the tree where they were idling away the morning, and had slowly followed Ray Coon to the short: of the pond. Their eyes al- most popped out of their heads when they saw the fish lying on the ice be- side the hole where Ray Coon was standing. All at once they decided that fishing through the ice was worth while, and that they should like to join Ray Coon in his sport. Then they saw that he was pulling hard on his line without bringing anything to the surface. "Hold on, Ray!" shouted Reddy Fox, "We'll be right there!" - "We thought that you might need help, and so we hurried over!" shouted Rusty Fox. Ray Coon had to laugh a little to himself when he saw them running to- ward the pond, but he was very glad to see them coming. "Hurry, boys!" he cried. "I guess I've caught a whale!" "My!" said Reddy Fox. "Don't let him drag you in!" "And don't jerk the line," said Rusty Fox. "That might break it." The Fox boys ran out on the ice and took hold of the slack of the line be- hind Ray Coon. "Now, all tgk'ether, boys," cried Ray Coon. "Let's' pull him out!" Something gave way a little, and Rusty Fox cried, "Pull harder, every- one! It's coming, and it's surely a whale!" But. they did not pull out a whale or anything else. The strain of the sec- ond hard pull was too much for the line. It suddenly parted with a snap, and Ray Coon and the Fox boys fell sprawling backward an the ice. "Ouch!" grunted Ray Coon. "Ouch! Ouch!" grunted the two Fox boys. But they were not hurt, and if they had been hurt they would have forgot- ten it in their amazement at seeing two black heads push themselves out of the hole in the ice, Then Mr. Beaver and Mrs. Beaver carne scrambling up on the ice. It was plain that they were both very angry, "What do you young rascals mean by this?" growled Mr, Beaver. "Pull- ing our house to pieces over our ears!" "Yes," joined Mrs, Beaver, "when we were all sound asleep, too, just as you ought to be until spring is here!" "Please, Mr. Beaver, we meant no harm," said Ray Coon. While he was explaining how sorry he was, and how he wished that he could repair the damage, Mr, and Mrs. Beaver turned and flopped back through the hole into the water. "Well, it's too bad," said Ray Coon with a big sigh, "but 1 don't see how T could help it!" Then Ray Coon sighed again. "Such a fishing trip!" he said, "The Fox boys have taken my fish, and I have lost my hook and cast catch no morel" Bis spirits, usually so light, were very heavy as he trudged homeward through the woods. He was especial- ly disappointed because he knew that his mother was expecting a fish din- ner; and it was very hard to feel that his freinds would play a mean trick on him. But when he reached home, the very first thing that he smelled was frying fish, and that even before he entered the house! And there in the kitchen were the Fox boys busily helping hie mother sat the table for dinner: "You see," explained Reddy Fox, be- fore Ray Coon could lied his voice and say a word, "we thought that we would hurry light to your house with the fish, for we knew that you would be pretty hungry by the time Mr. Beaver got through scolding you!" My! How „good that fish dinner test- ed! 11 -:signer Father Coon nor Mother Coon nor the Fox boys enjoy- ed it so niueh as Ray Coon did; and the host part of the feast for him was to know that his friends had not play- ed a mean trick on him, . niter a11. — Youth's Companion. 11. April Fashions 11 There is a decided predominance of silks for spring. Among the silks for suits, poplin, rajah and tussur are strongly in evidence, and many novel ideas are noticed in the developments of these materials. On a suit of gold - colored silk jersey, black velvet was used for the collar and for a band at the lower edge of the coat. Some suits of rajah bilk are trimmed with stenciling in attractive calor combina- tions. The stenciling is done on the fronts of the coats or only on the belts, just enough to furnish some contrast. This is one of the very newest trim- ming ideas. In spite of the great vogue for col- ors in all the brightest hues and in all manner of combinations, a great deal of black and white is used. When 7699 A Stuart Spring Coat in Barrel Effect cleverly handled, this combination is always attractive. Solid black and white checked materials with rather large checks are considered smart for coats, both for the long separate coats and for shorter coats to be worn with white serge shirts.

Returning strength commences with their use and the vigor and cheer- fulness of good health quickly follows. There is just one cure for lack of blood and that is more blood. Food is the material from which blood is made, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills double the value of the food we eat. They give strength, tone up the stom- ach and weak digestion, clear the complexion of pimples, eruptions and boils, and drive out rheumatic poisons. If you are pale and sallow, if you feel continually tired out, breathless after slight exertion, if you have head- aches or backaches, if you are irritable and nervous, if your joints ache, if your appetite fails and food does not nourish nor sleep refresh you, Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills will make you well and strong. To build up the blood is the special purpose of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and that Is why they are the best 'spring medicine.

They Contain No More Nourishment Than Other Green Vegetables. We sometimes hear the conpi'aint that by neglecting to use the mush- rooms that grow wild in the woods and fields Canadians are wasting all important food. The would-be econo- mists tell us that it is easy to dis tmguish the edible from the poisonous vardetits, and urge us not to despise this food supply, which, like the man- na of old, conies overnight and asks: only to be plucked and eaten. They sometimes attempt to show that in nutritive value a pound of mushrooms is equal to a pound of beefsteak, That is an exaggeration that the chemist easily disproves. As a matter of fact mushrooms con- tain no more nourishment than any other of the green vegetables and clo contain as much or more indigestible material. Protein, which is the muscle' building and waste -repairing element of food, cotntams nitrogen; and so food analysts formerly assumed that they could estimate the protein content of any food by the amount of nitrogen it contained. That is how the mistake came about, Mushrooms contain, it is true, a considerable proportion of ni- trogen, but so do crab shells. Some of the nitrogenous constitu- ents of mushrooms, furthermore, are substances related to protein, but readily converted through putrefactive changes within tl• without the body into active poisons. The amount of actual utilizable protein is perhaps as much as is contained in cabbage or in other greens, but scarcely more. A good mushroom, properly cooked, is a Very Madam Morsel and as such is a welcome addition to the dietary. If you aro absolutely sure that the variety that grows on your lawn or in the neighboring fields is of the edible kind, by all means cook it and eat it; it will do you good and start the secretion of the gastric juke by reason of its palatibility. Birt if you have the lenst doubt of the innocuous. ness n nocuous- ness of tine growth --and ninny p0it0in- ons kinds look attractively immee t you had better leave it alone; the risk composed entirely of Irishmen—in- deed, up to the outbreak of war it was still largely staffed by men from the Emerald Isle. Few men know more of what may be called the criminal side of high politics than its veteran chief, Mr. Patrick Quinn, M.V.O.—himself an Irishman. Though the work of him- self and his men has been done large- ly in silence, it has contributed in no small measure to the safety of the Empire.

Thompson, of Uxbridge, Tells the Story of 111s Terrible Trouble and Almost Miraculous Cure, Uxbridge, Ont., Apr. 2nd, (Special.) —Mr. 11. J. Thompson, living near here, had fourteen convulsions in one afternoon. The doctors did not think he could live. To -day he is well and strong. He says Dodd's Kidney Pills did it, But let him toll his own story: "I am delighted with Dodd's Kidney Pills," Mr. Thompson states. "I have only taken eleven boxes and I feel like myself again. "I was taken 111 very suddenly. I ate my dinner and went to take a man home. I just got about three-quarters of a mile when I was taken with a con- vulsion Rt. I had fourteen that after- noon and the third day I had nine more. "The doctors said I could not live and if I did I would never be able to do anything again, as I had chronic Bright's Disease. But thank God I am doing my own work once again, by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills." Bright's Disease is the most advanc- ed stage of kidney disease. It eau be avoided if the earlier stages of kidney trouble are remedied by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, g Then and Now.

Kiteflying Has Been Favorite Amuse- ment in China for Centuries. The kite is one of the oldest toys in the world, It appears to have had its origin in China, where for thousands of years kiteflying has been the favor- ite amusement not only of the child}'en but of grown persons, too, In Japan, Burma, the Malay Peninsula and other Eastern lands, kiteflying has long been as popular with all classes and ages as it is in China, From the Far East the kite long ago made its way to all other parts of the world The young people of the Far East would eonsider it as very poor sport to fly kites as plain and simple as those which Canadian boys fly. Their .kites are of many shapes and sizes, Most of them represent a bird, or a fish, or a dragon, or some other curi- ous imaginary monster. The frame- work is commonly made of bamboo, and the covering is colored paper, or, in case of the best ones, silk. Often the kites have tails of great length. The grown-up people have kiteflying festivals in which all the people of the village join. On such occasions some of the kites are of great size and of most elaborate design. At night they are sent up with long strings of lan- terns tied to them. Nor are the peo- ple content with kiteflying simply as a pastime. They have contests that rouse great interest—contests in which one person tries to keep his kite in the air longer than his rival can, or contests in which one person tries to make his kite bring down or destroy the Kite of the other. In our times the kite has become a very useful tool of science. Men use it to study the conditions that prevail in the air far above the earth; thus it helps them to forecast the weather. It also helps them in building airships, in taking pictures, in signaling, and i11 life saving on the coast. The Chinese have long used kites to tow boats, and to drop their fishhooks well out to sea while they themselves stand on the shore.
