Each chapter' of the book is written In conversational style—a Scout mas- ter chatting with his boys. Here Is an example of.the use of a particular accident to illustrate the necessity of precaution. ' ' boy was 'preparing to start' for the woods for a little hunt, He was undoubtedly proud of his rifle, and very fond of his little sister, who ad- miringly watched him from the win- dow while he loaded his rifle and placed it on his shoulder. The account said. that In some manner the trigger caught in his' coat, discharging the rifle and killing the little girl in the, window. - The Scouts are then asked to anal- yze the accdent, showing how it vio- fated the Scouts' safety rules.

Fishing Waters of Canada. It is not generally appreciated,, even by Canadians, that two of thefour great sea fishing areas of the world border on Canada; In addition, the lakes and rivers of the Dominion con- stitute approximately one-half of the fresh water of the globe; while the great inland sea of Hudson'Bay, still practically untouched, may be regard- ed se a reserve. Their extent alone suffices to render theee verities felling areas remarkaible, says - the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the interior at Ottawa. The Atlantic coast line, from Labra dor to the boundary between the United States and Canada, measures over. 5,000 miles—not• including the lesser bays and indentions. Off the coast are the noted fisheries' of the "Grand Banks." Moreover, 15,000 square miles es oPinshore waters .are en- tirely controlled by the Dominion, while Hudson Bay has a shortline of 6,000 miles, • 'Crossing the continent, the Pacific shoreline is over 7,000 miles long and has the unique advantage, thanks to its multitude of islands, of being ex- ceptionally well sheltered for fisher- men. Finally, the fresh water lakes of the interior constitute an area of 220,000 square uiiles,' Canada's share of the Great Lakes along "the United States boundary alone covers 34,000 square miles.._These varied waters yield at least fifty edible species. :That, Canadian fishing waters are eicceptional in fertility, as well asin area., is denoted by the tact that the entire catch of salmon, lobsters, her- ring; mackerel and sardines, nearly all of the 'haddock and many of .tile cod, hake and pollock are taken within 10 , 50 12 miles, from shore. Further, the value of the Dominion's fisheries re- sources is enhanced by the circum- stance that the colder waters of the northern latitudes produce fish of the finest quality, -His Number, When were little and spend our days at home a shift of furniture. is a 'real'event.

Such would seem to be the case, be - Cause some years ago at quantities g g re Of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas were brought into Canada. The demand for this type of tea soon fell off.

One king is placed in the pack, whi0h la head tape down, near the tiottont, Another Is pieced near the centre. A third is placed near the top and the last is placed on the top, Tho cards are now cut, the 'ewer portion being' placed on the top, ' The trickster.' holds • the dards behind his back for a mo- ment. When he brings the cards in view again, the trick is done. He asks a spectator to examine the Dards. The four kings are found together 'n'ear the middle of the pack. A familiar stunt of, the ma- gician is used to accomplish . the trick. The four' kings' are held in the form of a fan when they are displayed. Behind them three queens are hidden. The fan is closed. The top card, apparently a king but really a queen, is placed in the lower portion of the pack. 'Tie last card (really the four kings) is placed on the tap of the. pack and the cards are cut. Put- ting the cards behind the back is a little misdirection as the trick would' be a 'trifle too wonderful to be believed if the spectators were given nothing to lead them to ba - Neve that there was some manipu- lation of the cards to bring about the result. (Clip this out and paste ft. with other o1 the aeries, in a scrapbook.) A Quarter's Worth of Courtesy. Whatever the cause, real spontan- eous courtesy is not so often seen in street cars as it used to be; indeed, there is now much actual discourtesy. It is cheering therefore ,to read about a young fellow who knows how to be courteous, and ,who is willing to teach others to be so. The Baltimore Sun tells the story: It happened on a southbound Guil- ford uilford Avenue car abowt noon. Every seat was taken when the carstopped at Preston Street. Strap -hangers moved to the front. Thirteen men, who were seated, gazed abstractedly through the windows. An old woman heavily draped in a mourning veil entered by the front door. None'of the men moved. Sever- al glanced at the woman as she bal- anced herself; A youth who was standing—he was probably seventeen years old and was carrying school books -cleaned over an athletic=looking man. "Do you want to sell your•seat for a quarter?" the boy asked the man, "Where is the money?" the man re- joined. The boy produced a much -worn quar- ter from his pocket and gave it to the man. "I've bought this seat," the boy said, turning to the woman. "You may now sit down-" The, woman thanked him as she moved to the seat. At Pleasant Street the man alighted, looking rather shamefaced. The other men paid more attention than ever to the buildings that the car was passing. Regular brushing of the gums as well as the teeth is essential for a healthy mouth.
