A -spider's will, to work a miracle

A hidden eridet's humble prophecies

The other day a writer in a To-
ropto daily had this to •say ' and . it
touched a responsive chord in my
soul:
"We asked one of our friends•
how he was feeling.

Sometimes we wonder why :there
has never among the myriad
therapies been an earth cure, to
correspond with the sun cure.

ited and dubious extent in the

Vllrtue From the Soil
But there is a tremendous' lot
to be said in " favor of a man'
delving in the earth, breathing
lthe fumes released when the
soil is turned over and getting
loam under his finger nails.
Unhappily it remains unsaid, •
though it was hinted at in our
favorite character in Greek my-
thology,. Antaeus, the lad who
lest his strength when he was
pickedup from the ground but
regained g ped it when he touched
idother Earth. 'All her tremen-
dous strength and power of heal-
ing rushed into him and he be-
came again invincible.
Mother Earth.
Mother Earth! It isnot of star
dust we are compact, nor to the
winds of heaven we return, but
it is from the good old muck we
come and go back again, and in
the meantime It heals us, and
the closer we can keep to the soil
the better we shall be in mind and
body. The earth does mere than
furnish our food. Itcan strength-
en -our souls, and give a man se
sense of unity with the great
forces of the world. '01 the

I have heard ,so many people ex-

their °spirits depart from this world,
But I ,have no 'horror of that at all,
I shall be very well content to have
the kind, old earth hap my body a-
round when I have finished, using it.
It is a very natural place for it, I
think, and no one need worry about
leaving it there. The earth fed me alt
my earthly life, it gave me beauty to
nourish .my soul. It is fitting that it
should receive the warn -out . body

THE CRILDRBN'S HOUR.
Between the dark and the daylight,
When night is beginning to lower,
Cones a pause in the day's occupa-
tions,
That is known as the Ohildren's
Hour.
T hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that ins opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study I see in the lamp-
light,
Descending. the broad hall -stair,
Grave Alice and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper and then a silence:
'Yet I know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning to-
gether
To take me by .surprise.
A sudden rush from: the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall
By three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall!
They climb up into my turret
O'er the arms and back of my
chair;.
If I try to escape, they surround me;
They seem; to be everywhere.
Do you think, 0 blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such'an old mustache as T am•
Is not a match for you all.
I have put you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart
But put you down in the dungeon
In the round tower of my heart.

The Menace of
the House Fly
Different times, different manners!
In medieval days when the black.
death, tyhpus, smallpox, and other
virulent plagues were token as a
matter of course, the phrase. "he
would not kill a fly" was invented as
a very 'high compliment to personel
goodness, Today, the person who
would not kill a fly is looked upon.
merely as ignorant. The house fly
is world-wide in distribution and is
notorious far the part it plays in the
dissemination of such dangerous dis-
eases as typhoid, jnfantile diarrhoea,
tuberculosis, cholera, dysentery, and
other. It breeds in filth of the most
objectionable kind, and yet it is tol-
erated in many homes, and public eat-
ing places. The fly is a menace + to
public health owing to its .habit of
passing directly from putrid filth to
human' food, carrying with it bac-
teria. and other organisms and partic-
les of decomposing organic matter on
its hairy body, legs, stick feet, and
mouth parts. Undesirable organisms
may also be conveyed to food in its
excreta and regurgitated saliva (fly
*specks.)
Several generations of •house flies
develop during the warm months of
the year, says the Dominion Entomol-
ogist, the number varying with the
character of the season. The flies
are most numerous in summer and
early autumn- :but diminish rapidly
with izt
the advent of cold weather. The
most effective and desirable method
of controlling house flies undoubted-
ly consists of eliminating or reduc-
ing their breeding places to a mini-
mum by properly treating or dispos-
ing of such materials as manure and
garbage. Fresh horse manure is a
prolific source of house fly produc-
tion
roducttion and this material is probablyre-
sponsiblo for the majority of flies in
rural sections. In the cities, where
horses have been largely replaced in
favour of mechanical transport, gar-
bage is an important factor in fly
production. To be effective, control
measures directed against their
breeding places should be organized
on a community basis, supported by
a public well-informed on -the men-
ace of the house fly to health and
the means by which it may be com-
batted. One neglected manure heap
or garbage dump is often sufficient to
infest a whole neighbourhood, and it
is necessary therefore to 'enlist the
active co-operation of the whole com-
munity.
How to. Capture and
Care for a Husband
Here are a few simple rules from
a Lancaster clergyman's continent
on "The Capture and Care of Hus-
bands";
Wives,. be careful about personal
appearance,' espeolally et breakfast.
Many a worn r: loses an ardent ad-
mirer by le of care in making her-
self attractive after marriage.
No • man likes an everyday account
of his faults and failings. A good
wife gives her husband the impres-
sion he has no faults. '
Husbands are neither "stewing beef
nor vegetables." To keep them ten-
der it is not necessary to retain them
in hot water.
It is more important for a man to
be able to earn his living than ability
to dance like a professional, play golf
like George Dun.can, or sing like a
blackbird.
Face powder may help to catch a
man, but •baking powder is the stuff
to keep him.
Put the 'best construction, on late
husbands' excuses! They may sound
strange, but believe thein. They
might be true.

To Say
Youth was never finer or more

to do and suffer for a better day.
But there have been illusions - about
reaching the top. In the last twenty-
years
wentyyears we have heard a good deal o
bout ambition and striving for great
wealth and getting to the top. I
never know where it is, however,—
the top of this profession, the top of
this, that and the other—but prob-
ably one thing that has disillusioned
youth is .someof the stuffed shirts as

in all our Canadian life has not been.

young people are wondering whether
it is worth the effort to get to, the
top. "I hear many of them say that.
What they.want to do in to live harm-
onious, happy lives wherever they
are among their fellowmen, whether
at the top ar halfway down, orwhere-

When the chill garb of winter with-

1 hues of verdure •
' And forest and field in their beauty
Iare seen,

ties display, ;
Then memory reverts -to the days of
any -childhood,
ilocalling the scenes that have long
passed away. ,
When we sought the bird's nests in
each cranny and nookiet;
The chipmunk so blythsome we trac-
ed to his den,
Or with pin hooks we angled -for trout
'in the brooklet.
Say, where are the comrades who
played with us them? -
When we damned up the stream from
the pond in the meadow,
An sailed d tiny fleets In the minia-
ture sea. +
In juvenile fancy we folIowed the
shadows,
And dreamt of day when we heroes
should be.
Whenwe played neath the beech tree
that grew on the mountain,
And gathered the nuts- shaken down
by the Nast.
We drank purest pleasure from life's
gushing fountain,
Securing some gem from each hour
RS it passed,
Or when winter's white robe lay on
hillside and valley,
We glanced on our sleds o'er the
beautiful snow.
Our playmates of childhood, so cheer-
ful and jolly,,
Who shared in those pleasures, say,
where are they naw?
Some tossed on the billows of world-
ly commotion,
Disdaining to steer by the compass of
right,
Have split on the rocks, 'and o're-
whelmed by the ocean,
Have sunk neath the wave in the
shadow of night.
Some severed as wide as the poles
from each other,
Still earnstiy battle the current of
life, -
Scarce designing to notice that com-
rade or brother
Rath yieded his place and gone down
in the strife.
Some building their hopes on the rock
that remaineth
A certain foundation in floods of
distress,
And leaning for strength on the arm
that sustaineth
When trials assail us and sorrow op-
press.
Some have 'scoped to that realm
where no sunset shall ever
Cast o'er the fair landscape the shad-
ows of night,
Where death has been vanquished and
nothing can 'sever
The ransomed ,who dwell in the re-
gions of light. -
This life is a training -course, where
for promotion
To life more advanced we are sent to
prepare
A river that flows to eternity's ocean
While bearing us each to our destiny
there.
