J CaliTt3t2 WORN 13Y BOYS AND GIRLS WEN AT THE EXHIBITION. Just what can be aeeom'plished by A lturridier of quaint bird houses, were 11 e nimble hands oi' boys illn their shown. The basket work was well til orgies aro concentrated upon' the \earthy of comment; and even the use iestead of the whose of edged paper lanterns and earthboard work of tools was demonstrated in the excel- tionttlly interesting exhibit by the 'To- ronto .Board at Education at the Can - :salon Naticinal Exhibition thee. year. Woodwork is not by any menus the only type of Work .represented. There was also basket work, cardboaa'd work, Weaving, metal welt, plaster casting, hook -binding, : carving, and many other forms of craft work. Tugboat Model. Undoubtedly the .centre of interest was the"Tramp." This is a three-foot model of a tugboat, of splendid pro- portions and complete to every detail, It is the work of H. Jolly, senior 4t11, Williamson rood school. In spite of the placard "Do net touch," children found the•charen irresistible, and they opened the doors, turned the wheel, rang the bell, and lifted the hatches, until it was found necessary to place the model out of their reach. An old seaanoln'saitl that apart from the fact that the propeller Wile the thick he could find no fault. Of unusual merit was a full-sized punt, made at the Dost of $29, by Sydney Hind of Manning Avenue centre. Considering -that the work was done by a junior fourth boy, there appears nothing left to be desired. Electric table lamps of many var- ieties were there; some with beaten metal tops, and one by Morrie Furrein- ger, senior 4th, of Jessie Itetchum school, had a carved wooden top ,pf unique design, Any of these designs are worthy of a place in a retail store. A violin made from cigar boxes was shown by Carl Vail, of Victoria street centre. .A bathroom medicine cabinet hes been made by a Chinese boy, P, Wong, of Wollesiey centre. Most of the youthful craftsmen have, apparently, a taste for inlaid work, as there were numerous ex- amples of this shown. Stanley Me. Portland, of Ryerson, submitted a small carved tray of merit, Al Kinds of Work. Tho work was varied; there were assortments of clock stands, trays, musical instruments, book -holders, racks, model aeroplanes, boxes, rollers, flower -stands, footstools, and tables. the junior classes showed promise of skillful work. Weaving and raffia work was also shown, and some meddle 'of plaster casting,' The woe*It of the boys undoubtedly caught the public limey and repeated inquiries were made as to whether any of the articles were for sale. Each piece, however, 'belong's to the boy who made it, and the matter of selling was therefore personal, At the side.of the r000n was shown the work of the industrial centres of the Board's Supervised Playgrounds. This work was chiefly infants' dresses, clothing, end fancy work, and was very skilfully done. A screen at one end of the room was covered with the work of the Toronto 'Auxiliary Classes.' Hese were paper shapes, 'baskets, elementary woodwork models, and articles of ae*r- ing done iby' children whose Mentality is somewhat dulled, and this form of work is being carried of in order to develop their 'brain sufficiently to enable them to take their place in the Public school classes. Girls Also Busy. The work done by the girl students, occupied another section of the build- ing more to the south. Here the walls were lined with •garments made by the children at the various scheels. Dresses, underclothing, knitted socks and hate, embroidered bags were dis- played. The room was divided into several partitions and these were sot out with the furniture which is used in the various Domestic 'Science centres to instruct the girls in their household duties. The dining xoom furniture was taken from Williamson road school and in spite of its spick and span appearance has been in use for two years, In the "kitchen" a gas stove was installed and every afternoon some girls cooked a meal, and various offi- cials of the Board of Education were invited to the dining room where they partook of the food cooked. There are 32 cooking centres in the city, teach- ing 948 classes of about 5,000 girls. The se -wing is taught to 14,500 girls by 25 specialists and the grade in- structors. —TIali7illiLR— Going east, depart 6.28 a.m. 11 :.• "2.62 p.m. Going West ar. 11.10, dp, 11.15 a.m. " ar.

Driving through the streets of Lon don in his magnificent motor=car, Dr Dorian reminded one of a bronze figurer, so inscrutable were bis strong, ragged features. But now, in the last -end garret where a woman lay dying, as he looked into the wistful face of the woman's child, the doctor was a different being. There was a peculiar moisture in his deep-set eyes. "Can't yer make muvver any hot- ter?" the child asked, hoarsely. Then she dragged her grimy hand acTiies her eyes; she wouldn't let the doctor see her crying. The man laid a hand on each of the child's thin ,shoulders, "Your mother is very tired. She wants to sleep. Don't you think it would be cruel if I made her keep awake?" he asked, gently, Ile didn't think the child would understand his subtlety, but he hadn't the heart to tell her in cold blood that hor mother was dying, He crossed the floor to that poor atom of God's• clay that had been broken on the inexorable wheel of life. "I ain't got much longer," the wo- man whispered, "Doctor, d'yer think as 'ow they'll be good to Tilly in the 'ouse?" . She was watching hint, and her eyes, faded and sunken though they wore, were startlingly like Tilly's. They held the same dumb pleading In their depths. Dr. Dorian straighterod hhnself. Than be spoke, and the words he ut- tered were the last Ise had intended to speak, They left him as amazed as the woman who heard them. "Tilly needn't go to the workhouse. PII take her home with me." The child crept doter, and the wo- man's feeble fli ger% caught her baby's in her own. Iter eyes, were shining with. an inexpressible thankfulness, "Gawd bless yer, doctor!" They were the lar,t words she spcko bodere she went to sleep. The pig grey car was bowling ones more 1hrcugh the ttreets, and seated Lc, ode the doetcr was Tilly. As be gisnrad et hie charge ho was oenecicns of a queer feeling of warmth el.cut his beast, Andrew Dorian was 0 bachelor, and for the fleet time he Was beginning to realize all he had missed. Success in life consists in do- ing, each el us, what only wo eaft do.

Wallah, Running through his mind was the thought, "What will Barbara say?" Andrew and Barbara bad grown up together. Bighteen years ago, when he was just getting a footing on the ladder of success, he had asked her to marry him, and with a light of joy in her soft eyes she had said "Yes." Then the thunderbolt had fallen. Barbara- was an orphan and lived with her sister and her husband. They had gone for a holiday on the Norfolk Broads, leaving Barbara at home in charge of Cyril and Ray, the boy and girl in whom all their tropes ware Centred. Then news had come that their yacht had been lost. Barbara shouldered her burden, put love out of her life, and acted the part of mothtr to the two mites who were left behind. When Andrew pleaded with her to marry him she had shaken her head. Jim, her brother-in-law, was a hap- py-go-lucky fellow. When things came to be settled up there was nothing left for Cyril and Itay, and Barbara would not let Andrew's career be jeopardized by, having another man's children thrust upon him. So she started a small private school and kept things going in a house on the other side of the square in which Andrew lived. But that was years ago. Cyril had gone to America and was making good. Ray was married, and Barbara was alone. But Andrew never spoke the words that she ached to hear. She had never let him ries a wife's presence in his house. She had, al- ways found time to see that his house- hold was run on smooth lines; her home was a place of refuge when the day's wort; was clone, where he was sure of sympathy and understanding, Now Ile was bringing a new element into her life. He knew that it would devolve on Barbara to carry out the charge he had undertaken, and for tho first time he was conscious of a qualm Was it fair—hadn't sho enough of rearing other people's ehiltlreu? But when he thought of her sweet face and .gentle manner he smiled. Barbara wouldn't fail him, He didn't bring the car to. a stand- still infront cf his own door, but in front of Barbara's, She had given up• the school some yeses before, The elderly wcma.n who opened the doer h ]\newer .,1 ce ne was n boy. She had never given up hope of seeing her nilttre,s "Mrs. Dorian." Andrew lifted Tilly in his arms anti 0rode with her into the 0osy drawing - mom. A woman roan from the depths cf a Comfortable chair, a senile on her face, to greet him. Barbara North was tall and slender; her figure retained all the grace of 1 youth. and her hair was soft and wavy, "Andrew! Why, I 1 what . Y> w at have yet there? she asked. The child had sobbed herself to Sleep, and the man laid her down tem do'ly. "She's a beauty; isn't she?" he said,: and 'there Was it note of excitement in his vales. Barbara dropped to her lcnoes:.besidb the Child "'Whose baby is this, Andrew?" she asltecl.

He bent dove and picked 'her up. The woman watched him, bet she did not speak, Ife moved towards the clo,or, his shoulders bowed, cleject1on expressed in every line of film, • Barbara had failed him, and he didn't 'realize that he, too, had: failed her. I -Ie was at,the dear. "Don't go!" He ]lordly recognized the Voice, so harsh and strained was it, "You aren't fit to look after the child in her pre- sent state; she needs a woman. Ile - sides, you (night be called away, and she would be leit.to the servants, She had better stop with, me:" Quickly, joyously, Di, Dorian re- turned his charge to Barbara's couch, Thou he held out his hands. "Bar- bara," he cried, enthusiastically, "Bar- bara, what a woman you are!" She shrank from him. "Go!" she whispered, vehemnently. And in his comfortable study, as 11e smoked an after-dinner cigar, Dr. Dorian smiled a very tender smile. He was thinking not of Tilly, bort of Barbara., "What a woman," he mused. * * * * * Tilly and Barbara sat side by side. It was six months sinco that fateful night when Andrew Dorian had brought tile little waif home. The child was a credit to Barbara's care, She hadn't forgotten her moth- er, but at eight a child's mind is plas- tic, and the griefs of youth are fierce but short-lived. Tilly spent her time almost equally between Miss North's ]louse and that 00 hes' guardian, Dr. Dorian, Barbara was always gentle to the child, but the little one was conscious of some intangible barrier between them that she was too young to de- fine. Yet, strangely enough, it was to Barbara that she clung; she was al- ways a wee bit shy with Dorian, Suddenly, Tilly slipped a soft arm about Barbara's neck. "Miss Barbara, why don't you love me?" For a moment there was silence. The woman gazed at the child in speechless aetonishment, Toren she caught Tilly to her breast. "I do love you, Tilly," she said, huskily, "I tried not to, but I do!" The tears were Paining down Bar- bara's arbara's pale cheeks, "Why didn't you want to love me, Miss Barbara?" "Because I've always lost every- thing I cared for;'0118 I didn't want to lora you. I pretended to myself that 1 didn't Iovo you—that it you were taken from me I shouldn't worry, But it was all pretence. Your dear inno- cent words have shown ane what a fool I am." "Miss Barbara, do you Iove Guards?" Tilly asked, suddenly, "Guardy" was the name by which she had been taught to speak of Andrew, The woman's breath came jerkily. "Yes!" she whispered, "I love him" "But you haven't lost him, have you?" "I havo lost him," Barbara cried, passionately.' "To `Guardy' I am just a middle-aged woman who looks after him who is ready to be a friend and companion when. his day's work is done, to whom he brings his troubles and his socks—that's what I am to 'Guardy.' And once• I was the only woman. Ah, child, I'm tallying to you in riddles, but I feel to -night that un- less I tell someone I shall die. Tilly, now that you know I lave you, will you love me in return?" "I do love you,'Miss Barbara," the child returned, fervently. "Tilly!" There Was a bush of exeite- mont 00 the woman's face. "Just for once, will you call me 'Mother'?" The child's arms twined themselves about the woman's neck. "Mother!" Tilly murmured. And as she heard the wonderful word, Barbara touched the fringe of Paradise. N 8 * * * Tilly woe i11. Barbara sat beside her, her taco grey with terror, waiting for Dr. Dorian to come, When he at last stead by the bed- side, felt the feeble pulse, and looked at the toyer-tiushd face, Isis own looked grave, "What le it?" the woman asked, des- perately, The roan shook his head. "I tun not sere yet," ]1a replied, "You've got to save her, Andrew.

Lavender flowers and roses' breath, And my heart breathes a sigh, for you. Asters have heralded Summarise death And the kind sky ehroudea her all in blue— Draped a cloud on her, fold on fold, Goldenrod showered Iter with his gold. And the breeze so sweet, In the. strange still heat, Dropped a kiss at his dead love's feet. Murmur of bees and rustle of grass, As it stoops to bend its head, Letting the ghost of the Summer pass To the land of the unseen dead. Her eyes were blue as your eyes are blue, And, oh, how my heart has longed for you, • While earth and sky So silently Were waiting, waiting as even 1. Whisper of wings In the waning dusk, And my heart still burns for you. A breath comas laden with meadow musk And drenched in the meadow dew. A' cold wind touches the darkening air, My years are empty, my days are bare, Winter is nigh, With its shivers and sigh, And the year is sad as well as I. The Wonders of China. The dikes of China have a total bulk beyond that of the combined railroad embankments, of the entire wotld. The total length of China's• canals would be sufllcient to cross Canada forty times from north to south.' The number of boats in China ex- ceeds the number of boats in all' the rest of the world. There is coal,enough in the province of Shansi, in north Chinla:, to supply the world for 2,000 years, and vast' iron deposits close by. The Yang-tse-Kiang River pours, when high, a million and a ;half tons of water a minute into the Yellow Sea, The great cause of the farninee east of Pekin and north of the delta of the Yellow River is a westerly gale that may blow night and day for four whole months without ceasing. The fertility of China is due to the loess constituting the soil of the Great Plain from Pekin to the Yang-tse- Kiang basin, This loess is a yellow soil. Loess has self-sudlciency of fer- tility beyond any other known soil. The loess can be powdered in the hands, but Is firm enough for entire communities to calve out apartments in which they live comfortably. Cliffs of loess occur. A single milo of loess soil in Shan- tung province wil support 3,072 people, 256 donkeys, 256 cattle and 512 pigs— an average of twelve individuals, one donkey, one cow and two pigs all on a single farm of two and a half acres. Truly Valorous. "The world has crying need," said he, "Of gifted sten like me; But tho especial thing to 11e, Requires reflection, deep and true - 1.'m needed everywhere, And so, to be quite fair, And chance no pangs of sharp regret, I've not Bono anything --as ;vet." ••--Carolyn Shaw Rice, Any Ilonieless man in London can obtain, on application to the police or at the night offices of the Metropoli- tan Asylums Board, a'ticket entitling him to supper and a bed.

The Road to Success. • The development of will power, the capacity to face serious situations with equanimity, is the dlreet result of handling the small affairs of life calm- ly and efficiently. Make up your mind to inaster the trifling troubles, and the big ones Will melt away beneath the heat of your attack. By the deliberate and conscious forcing of our thoughts in a given direction, wo build up an unconscious source al strength that rashes to our aid when hard pressed. To come to the practical point at issue, the secret of self-control lien in the fact that whatever idea dominates the mind at any given ntonsent de- cides our behaviour at that moment. In scientific language; "What holds at- tention detorminos .actor." clow then, is the thought of any given ac- tion to be kept steadily in mind? Sincerity is tho force required to bold it there. Sincerity is the key to self-possession. I see the objection at once arising in your mind: "What about the proverbial cheek •of the pro- feselonal humbug or charlatan?" I am quite road to dispose of that argument. An impostor may appear self-possessed whoa he is inventing some tale of woo to extract a quarter from your pocket; but I am perfectly certain If ho understood the politico of self-governnnont, he would never have become the victim of that dread disease known as "wotkshyitis." Will Power Does It. Take coverote examples of what I mean by sincerity as the key to self- possessi•on. Two young men apply to the maxi. ager of a motorcar works foo' a posi- tion. Both are asked the same ques- tion—can they operate a certain kind of lathe? Neither can, as they have previously been engaged on another class of work. A unhesitatingly says "No" quite calmly. He is sent awayewith instructions to' come the following day, as there may. be a suitable job , for hint then. B answers' the question in the affirma- tive, thinking to himself, "I'll manage somehow," never considering that, in taking on work Ire is not master of, he is unfair to the prospective employer. Finding himself in a false position., self-possession goes to the four winds and, to cut the story short, he gives the foreman the slip and b•odte. No one need be nervous in their busi- ness life if they are proposing a square deal. The person woo is conscious of having given sixty minutes for every hour Can ram any music. There is nothing more exhilarating than the ef- fect of,: deliberately malting up our iniad to accomplish an uncongenial task. Strength of will 0 remarkably similar to muscular strength. It is the little bit of regular exercise that in the end does the tricic. Of course, I am not saying this to bolster up snug sell -conceit or arro- gant self-assurance: nettling 13 fur- ther from my purpose. Think First—Act Afterwards, I am looking at the whole question from the psychological standpoint of the energetic will which is never not- plussed because it is working to a de. finite and renson'able end.
