ISD ati'rl :,>w; F GEE r E Jack Miner in Dumb Animals I have said that in some ways ':birds Iead brains superior " to .ours. Let me try and explain myself. The ponds on my bird sanetuaary are so small in comparison to the North Ameriea-n continent, that no words can express the proportion of thein to the millions of square miles of land and water of North America. Even the point of the' .finest needle .pressed on the map of this continent would represent several square miles; so again, I say, these ponds, which comprise only a .couple' of acres on my bird sanctuary, cannot be meas- ured or proportioned to the North American continent. • It is a well-known fact that since 1909 I have been tagging ducks, and since 1915 have tagged over eight thousand Canada geese, which repre- sent approximately forty tons of hon- kers that have gone through my hands and had an aluminum tag plac- ed on their legs, in order to study their routes of migration -but wham; else has it proved? T has proved that these same birds came back to these same inial holes year after year for feed and protection and kindness, that I try to give them. It farther proves that they know a friend from an enemy; proves that they know a place of safety and rest, or in other words, where to go for a breathing spell. But the big thing it proves is that they have been given brains, ltirowiedge or sense, that without the Md of compasses, instruments or such like, they can get up , during ticallth Service OF TJfl Gaualittt tbirallmoriatitiu and Life Insurance Companies in.

INCLUDE MILK IN SPRING MENU More care is necessary in planning and serving meals at this season than. at any other time of the year, for appetites are probably not as, keen as usual and bodies may need toning up after the winter months. A good Cale to follow for the Springtime menu is to include in the meals every day about a, quart of milk for wen child and a pint for each adult. To early October at the Arctic Circle, with their family, following in single file, and in a short time come circling down ore these little artificial ponds of mine, where they know they etre safe; and in the early part of Mru'ch, the ores that have escaped the dead- ly aini of sportsmen alone: the Mis- sissippi valley and the Atlantic sea- board, rise, up out of range of : shot and shell and keep at that great height till they land back at thus spot of safety. The tagging system has proved they cone here from as far north as Great Slave Lake and Baffin Land, as far west as British Columbia, as fear' %ast as Labrador, New Jersey and the Atlantic -coast, and as far south as Florida; Alabama, Louisiana and the - Gulf const, How many :human beings, with an aeroplane, or dropped -down in these localities, could, ,without aid of com- pass or oilier instruments and only depending on their own brains, even find their way to such a small spot; and,'if they dict, how long would it take?

"Mercy," said' M'rs: Reazin, who. with Dr. Reazin Inas retired to the loveliest log cabin in Muskoka, win- ter and simmer, and therefore knows the people of the wilds when she sees then:. "Mercy, it'9' a bear!" I guess," said Mrs. Hepburn, we had better pian our mode of action." 'I looked around," said 'Mrs. Reaz- in, "and saw no tree exactly to my lilting. In fact, I saw ' no tree • I flat 1 recalled that the best thing to ..do is not to run away, but to stand your ground and if possible advance to the bear and yell. So.

Young. Canadian Gari Writesof Experiences. Enroute to :China,' Mrs. Jlarry W. Cochrane the other day received a letter from a fellow normalite and, her husband, she mar- ried a French, missionary in Montreal and went with (nim to China, Rev. Jean 'Fume; written while -on their way to the Anglican Mission Fiord 10 China. In'past they say: "Among the joys of ear voyage was our fellowship with - the Chris- tian workers which the Lord gave us the opportunity .of having as cone - Portions, some on each boat; we visit-' ed Honolulu and 3 Japanese porter for half a clay we watchedthe majes- tic, Mt, Fieji•iii all its splendour, Ami of these beautiful, and alluring scenes interested us very, much, but the best of all,, was - Shanghai.

The stories .of God's tender care of these missionaries dining their terrible experiences so engros- sed us that we saw nothing' at all or Shanghai except on our way to anti from the C. I. M. Home." "Oto steamer was delayed on_the Pacific and we arrived 11 hours too late to make our connections with the French boat" This gave us 6 days in (long Kong. Once more we,recogniz- ed the Lorcl's hand in allowing u.: this time for the much needed rest after our .long travels. Then, too, the: fact that I became more • and more familiar with the Oriental life as I continued nay way, prepared nth for the strange sights 1 see here, How fortunate I am that Jean had well described the customs and hab- its of life, that Ihad seen many pic- tures, and that I had spent a little time err France, just to become accus- tomed to the idea that 'everybody doesn't live -as we ilo." • "You are awaiting news of our plans. For" the first three weeks we were kindly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Cadman except for a few days' visit with the Van Hins at Langson, where Jean was needed to secure land for the building of a new chapel. We prayed much about where to es- tablish our - home for the present time. The Committee left it for us to choose (Hanoi, Hadong, Sontay). Our district comprises the provinces of Hoa -Binh, Hadogg and Smithy. We felt strongly urged to make our hone in one of these centres so that we could be thereformeetings and not be suitcase missionaries for tete whole district, We searched for a house in Hadong but nothing suitable could be found, We found three (rouses at Sontay and we know that the Lord -very definitely ledby special circumstances to this particular one, It is large and airy, we are hoping that we will be able to stay here during the entire summer but that remains to be seen." ' "You have asked me, to tell you my first impressions of this country which has more than twice the popu- lation of Cnaada in a little' more than two thirds the area of Ontario. Mr, and Mrs. Cadman drove to Haiphong to welcome us and we were surely pleased to see them. The land near and between these cities is .flat, it forms a part of the great rice.grov- ing areas of P. I. C. But, oh how small are these plots all surrounded by dykes of perhaps a foot high with- huge dykes near• the rivers to protect against the floods. In some places the women were busy transplanting the rice in muddy water which reach- ed to their knees, in others Wren were ploughing the deep mud with the aid of a buffalo, in some the rice was half grown and the rest were dr'y stubble. We saw certain fields of Sweet potatoes, On the roads here, one can pass thousands of people during: a three hour drive, that is not at all exaggerated, because it is 'sel- donr,' if 'ever, .that there isn't some one on one side' of the road or the other.
