It had been a dark, cold summer along the north shore of Lake Super- ior. Storm had followed storm, and frost had come every month. For Capt. McDell, the lighthouse keeper at Otter Island, it had been a busy year. . On two occasions great lake steamers had come poking in to learn whether it was Michipicoten Island or Caribou. Then there had comelittle cruiser motor boats, loaded with sportsmen seeking trout arid game. They had borrowed baking powder and had left magazines. When raid -September was at hand, and the captain thought that the last of his summer visitors were gone, two voyagers in a boat too small for that stormy coast at such a season had tome down the lake and were wind -bound for a. week. They had made 'serious threads ou his sup- plies; and after they were gone Capt McDell found that he had scarcely enough food to last until the 10th of December, when the light was to go out and the lighthouse tender was due . to. arrive and take him away for the ' winter: A few nights later, in a great aut- umn gale that swept the lake, the fish tug .Moselle struck ten miles north of the light, and in the morning what was left of the crew arrived at Capt. McDell's shelter in a battered life- boat. There were three of them, and they stayed on the island five days; then Capt. McDell managed to signal Capt. Melane of .jhe fish tug Dread - not, which had `ventured down the coast to run some gill nets. Capt. Melane took the castaways aboard and promisedto bring the lighthouse keeper some supplies, but when he reached Port Coldwell, sixty miles to the north, his tug sprang a leak, and he had to haul her out for the winter. No one else happened to be going down to Otter Island, and in early November at the Coldwell store the men began to wonder whether Capt. .MeDell would be able to find enough and fish to eat at hislittle game s the island. They knew how much he had carried down in the spring, and they knew how many times he had received supplies that summer. They knew, else, about how much had been bor- rowed from him by summer travelers and by the shipwrecked fishermen, and they remembered that he had no rifle for moose or deer—only an old shotgun with twenty shells. They figured it out and came to the con- clusion that he must either catch rab- bits and grouse ar starve. "He'll catch game if he has tor" Capt. Melane declared. "A man al- ways does!" "But they say there were wolves on the island this summer-," Will LePage suggested; "that means the rabbits and birds are caught up!" The men looked at one another. Perhaps it was true; they knew that early 111 the season Capt. MeDell had shot a wolf from a window of the cabin. Of course, wolves would catch many birds and rabbits; two or three of them en nn island would soon clear it of other animal life. In that fall weather the captain would hardly dare venture across to the mainland in search of game, for fear of being caught and held by a gale. After that at the store they did not talk casually about Capt. McDell; there were possibilities that they did not like to discuss. No one had any business down the bleak coast; there were no large boats at Point Coldwell except the disabled tug, and no one seemed ready to take the trip in a small boat. The government ought to send its tender along the coast every month to see that the lighthouse keep- ers were safe; that was the sentiment' which some one, expressed whenever the subject was mentioned.' • Will LePage, however, wanted to talk about Capt. McDell. He brought the subject up every night at the, store and asked what could be done and what should be done. "If you're so anxious about a grown man, why don't you go?" Capt. Me- lane exclaimed impatiently when the youth had spoiled a fine game of checkers by wondering what Capt. MeDell was doing and whether he had realIy had any luck in catching game or fish. The men thought that Wil] La - Page's manner of taking the captain's answer` was a good joke; ire flushed, turned white and sat staring with his mouth open. Then he went out into the cold north wind and slipped down to the cabin where he lived. "Why don't I go!" Wiil LePage said to himself as the injustice of the question occurred to him. Of course he had his boat, with its little two - horse -power motor; but it was just a skiff, and the seas were driving the great lake steamers toward shore where they would have no chance to run into some deep bay for shelter. For two days Will LaPage said no- thing about the man down at the light sixty miles away. Then he carne out into a morning that was bright, though clouds weed banked in the west and in the northwest. Through the gap in the harbor Will could see the heav- ing, lead -colored lake; there were no whitecaps 011 it. "I could make it!" he exclaimed to himself. "My boat'll go seven miles an hour; I could get • there in nine hours!" He went across to the wharf house where the four boxes that contained the precious food supply intended for Capt. McDell were waiting for some chance passer-by to carry then' down to the light. He ran out on the planks where his little eighteen -foot motor boat swung s ul on its line anddrewi t in, g filled the two tanks with gasoline, looked into the locker .to see that there were slickers and rubber boots and then put in the lantern and a can of kerosene, He stowed the supply boxes in the bottom of the boat, threw a tarpaulin over them and shoved off. A minute later the motor turned over, and the boat gathered headway. As soon as he was out on the har- bor Will encountered the full sweep of the waves that came from under the menacing clouds on the horizon. The motor boat rose stern first over a crest and then sank back into the trough where the shores were out of sight, and only the gray walls of the waves cane heaving at hint. But they did not break; the tops were rounded, and there was no arching cliff of water to lean over the boat, ready to break and fill it. Just a lit- tle wind, however, would make it a Sneaking sea; and as he swept over the crests LePage looked anxiously toward the cloud banks on the horizon. (To be concluded next issue.)

And in these days of cost and .saving they must be darned, clamed, darned, until there is more darn than stocking left. When other work is all done and bed seems . so indescribably attractive there is that mountainous pile of un- fulfilled obligation waiting In the work basket, and the thought of it seems to reduce the world to a black multiplicity of incompleteness, Why the Sky is Blue. After astronomers and scientists had puzzled ova' this apparently simple question for many hundred of years, Professor John Tyndall, a famous scholar 0f the last 0@1111117, solved the mystery with the following explana- tion: Sunlight is pure white light, made lip of rays oe the seven primary col- ors seen in the rainbow—red, orange, yellow; green, blue, indigo, and violet The sky, which is really the air sun mending the earth, is filled with myriads of tiny specks or particles of matter which absorb some of the cal - 0 1. al•015 in the rays of sunlight and reflect others—forming the combination we call sky-blue. The variatioilb in shade of this blue are due to the fact that the atoms - ellen is, at different times, filled with varying densities of there dust -par - teles, and also to the varying angles at which the sunlight strikes them. After rain the air is washed come paratively clear, and the sky then ap- pears as the true blueweare aecus- tamed to associate with it. If one could penetrate beyond the shell of air sur- rounding the earth, the sky, instead of being blue, would appear to be pure white because there would be nothing to impede the direct rays of the white sunlight. Facey and Height. Why do tall person's have narrow noses? There are many exceptions, but this is the rule. The type of nose that we will "aqullaine" is much more common in tall people). than in trove of short stature. On the other hand, short people are much more apt to have flat or snub noses. Tall men me usually long-headed, while meat short men have round or broad heads, Tall persons usually have small mouths. It ie the short peeplo who mostly have big mouths. Short people in a great majority of insitances have short or round faces. Long faces• go more often with superi- or height. This is not at all surprising. Tall people have a tendency to longuess throughout their anatomical structure. Usually their noses are long. Their arms end legs are long. The height of most very tall per•:ote is mainly in their legs. Short people, on the other hand, are apt to be short in alt parts of their physique. Women cyclists are unknown in Spain.

Every dray living is just a sneceselon of trifles: And ,yet those trifles may have a . very important bearing on the sum total of life, Mary Brown always had , a back- ache. As a result she always felt ir- ritable. She snapped eat Father Brown and scolded and slapped the little Browns; and altogether the Brown family life wasn't exactly what you would call happy. One day Mary's cousin came to make a visit and, as all desirable visitors do, she rolled up her sleeves and started to wash dishes. But after she's washed a couple, she stopped, Smelted up a basin Aust three inches deep, and slipped it under the dishpan. "What's the idea?" asked Mary. "This sink is too low.- I should think you'd break your back, hump- ing over it three times a day," said the cousin. • Mary •suddenlyssaw light. The very little matter of a sink three inches too tow, had kept her cross and half i11 for year's. Dora Jones had a headache most all the time. Dora loved to do needle- worlc, but she never got time for it in daylight, there was so much to do with the •poultry. So she left the embroidering until evening, Then she lit the biggest lamp and sat down directly facing it. Now Dora should have known butter. They teach school children all about how harm- ful it is to face a direct light. But it was such a little thing, Dora thought it foolish to bother about such a trifle, when she co£tld see so much better with her face to the light. Finally she went to a doctor about those headaches. He asked no end of questions, and finally found out about the light. Dora had to give up fancy work for six months, and when she took it up again, she had the light behind her. She hasn't had a headache in ages, so she Says. Mrs. Swiftly was always having to throw out canned fruit and bits of ketchup, half glasses of relishes, and pickles and things. She never took time to empty the fruit back in the can, if any was left frons the table, or to wipe off the top of the jar and screw the top on tightly. She was always going to use the leftovers up, but there was always such a little bit, she would leave them standing around until they spoiled ,and bad to be thrown out. One winter Grandma Swiftly, who lived with her son, kept track of the "little things" her daughter-in-law threw out. By spring nine quarts of fruit, five bottles of ketchup, three dozen pickles, and four quarts of various relishes had been wasted. If Mrs. Swiftly had had to buy that stuff at store prices it would have taken enough money to have paid for a pair of shoes for both children, or a good all -wool blanket, or to buy at least half the dishes Mrs. Swiftly really needed and thought she couldn't afford. Jimmie Wilson didn't get ahead in school. He was listless, and inatten- tive, and looked pinched and half -fed. Jimmie ate a cold lunch every day at school. Most of the children did the same thing, there was no regular hot hutch planned at that school. A few children brought hot soup, or cocoa or milk in a thermos bottle, but most of them just ate cold food. A home - demonstration agent told Jimmy's mother that she 'believed it was the cold lunch that kept Jimmie back in his work. But Jimmy's mother could not see it. The rest of the children at cold lunches and kept up. Jimmie must be just plain lazy, Finally the H. D. A. talked so much Mrs. Wilson agreed to see-thatmie had something hot every day at noon. In six months' time, Jimmie had picked up emaziiigly in looks, health and scholarship. It was just a matter of a hot drink to W51111 up those cold sandwiches, but that mere trifle changed .Jimmy's whole life. For instead of leaving school with half an education,he is developing into a real student. Life's a queer thing, isn't,it? Such little hits of senseless things make a great big difference in the general scheme. Midwinter Vegetables. In midwinter thehousewife goes through the vegetable cellar only to find that more of certain kinds of vegetables have been used than she expected and less of others. Some are bound to go to waste unless ways can be found of conserving them, Those are the days when the follow- ing recipes are Welcome ones: Spiced Celery—Cut off and discard the roots and loaves fronssix branch- es of celery.

Mix thoroughly, cook for two hours, bottle and seal. Forests Reserves r Use. The resources embraced in a Do- minion forest reserve are reserved for use and not reserved from use. The areas reserved are lauds nnenitable for agriculture, and, in pdddtion to con- serving the waterllow of streams which have their sources in them, the timber, cordwood, hay, and grazing are made available. to the settlers in the eurrounding districts as seen and as fully as possible. Praetcaily every forest reserve has some mature and overmature timber and the aim of the Forestry Branch 10 to market title so that the young forest may come on ae 50041 as possible. Every winter, thous- ande of cords of wood for fuel, and millions of feet of saw -timber are taken out by setters under permit, as web ae large quantities oe fence -posts, mine -timbers, and poles. In round numbers, a hundred thousand anlma)e, cattle, horses and sheep, graze on the reserves and many thousand tons of hay are cut for winter feed. Under regulated use these resources will in- crease, and he available to an ever larger and larger number of settlers, if they were left to unrestricted use by the Brit comers, that Is, to unre- stricted hacking and sleeking, the re- serves would bo a mass of inflame able slash in a few years and then a destructive fire would sweep away everything, so that it would be impas- sible to get fuel or saw -timber for a generation. It is to prevent this last condition that reserves are set aside and protected, A Picker by Trade. A witty convict Is unusual. The Landon Morning Poet tells of one such fellow, however—a mail whom Capt. Spencer, senior missionary of the Church Army, once visited in his cell. "Well, my map," said the captain, "and what do you do when you are out at work?" "Well," replied the -convict, in a philosophic manner, "In spring I Dicke pees, in summer I picks fruit, in autumn I picks 'ops, and in the winter I picks pockets." "Anti what happens then?" "Then," continued the convict, "they take -me up and sends me in 'ere, an' IP icks oakum." Women! Use "Diamond Dyes." Dye Old Skirts, Dresses, Waists, Coats, Stockings, Draperies, Everything.
