In my heart is the song of the unlet

Of boulder and forest and hill,
Where unnumbered islands, like rug-

Are mirroied when waters are still.
Anon coiner the loud, plaintive cry of
the loon,
In the fastness are echoes at play;
A fisher swoops clown on his unerring

On a cliff waits a hawk for his prey.

strange, mystic charm,
Till twilight brings moonbeam and

And outof the depths of the gathering

Low voices of night sound afar—
The soft crooning breeze and the song

The murmur of woodland end glen,
it is these that appeal to adventurous
youth
And quicken the pulses of men.

A Fox's' Family Problem.
Poor Mrs. Fox had a hard problem
on her paws. She had seven children,.
four boys and three girls, and when
feeding time carne the boys—being
boys_always took the lion's share.
Mrs. Fax saw her little girls daily
• growing thinner, What should she do?
In• Wild Live in' Devon Mr. Douglas
Gordon, who for some deers' had been
watching the "fancily beneath the lir
trees, thus describes how see solved
her problem.
When uext 1 saw the taxes 1 die-
covered that the family had diminish-
ed in numbers, It took me some little
time to make sure -of it, but at last 1
became convinced beyond,a doubt that
only three remained, and the curious
thing was that the remaining three
were certainly the weaker cubs,- for
whom 1' hail:been apprehensive. They
appeared to appreciate the change;
their little bodies were rounded out
with the now abundant food that the
mother brought them. But I was
vexed and a good deal puzzled to ac-
count for the loss of the others; I
feared foul play somewhere, but could
trace it home to no one.
When questioned, the gamekeeper
could throw no light on the matter or
offer any probable explanation. In
the course of our conversation, how-
ever, he told me of another litter that
he had discovered in a certain gorge,
a famous breeding place a mile'or two
away.
T
at once sot myself to study the
newcomers. But for some time I got
only fleeting glimpses of the cubs as.
' they played amongst the brushwood;
One afternoon, however, while lying
in wait in my chosen lookout, I no-
ticed an old fox coming up the gorge,
carrying what looked like a young
crow. Now was my chance. I-loous-
sed my glass on the fox, started, look-
ed again and then set the glass down
in astonishment. It was the same old
vixen! Her unusual marking brand-
ed her beynd all possibility of mis-
take, and it was with something more
than interest that I now watched her
movemonts. ,
In a little open space not far I!romn
the earth she stopped and undoubtedly
called, for the next moment the cubs
came tumbling out and fell upon the
bird. The mother sat and watched
them as they tugged and tussled. So
did .1, and I counted them again and
again to be sure.' Four beautiful cubs
were there, somewhat larger than
when I had last seen them, but un-
doubtedly the very four that had dis-
appeared from the earth under the fir
trees two or three weeks before. The
mother: had solved her problem in the
most practical way.

Revolving House.
A revolving house has appeared in
Germany as the result of severe hous-
ing conditions. The grouse, or perhaps
we should say the apartment, consists
of a single large room one side of
whieh is occupied by a circular revolv-
ing platform divided into three parts
by Partitions that radiate from the
centre. When the occupant gets out
of bed in the meeting he ,presses a
button, and the platform carries bed
and dresser out of sight and brings the
breakfast. table. Into view! Pressing
another button brings round the living
room. Occupying a cell shaped like a
piece of pie doesn't strike us as an
especially attractive pr•opoition, "Com-
partmeet house" would be a good i,
name for the now architectural horror,
Tiff GROWING GIRL
Requires a Mother's Constant`
Care and Watchfulness.
In their early teens it is quite com-
mon for girls to, outgrow their•
strength, and soothers should careful-
ly watch the health of their daughters
at this time, for it is when strength is
sapped by too rapid growth that
anaemia develops. The ant signs
may be noticed by peevisllnese, ran-
guor and headaches. The facegrows;
pale, breathlessne5,s roil, palpitation
follow, with low spirits.
At the first symptom of anaemia
mothers should act at once. Neglect-
ed anaemia often leade to decline, but

is enriched there need bo uo cause for
anxiety. The finest blood enricher

Insects With Flying Homes.
Among our most curious insects are
bird -files, which spend their lives at-
tached to the warm bodies of various
kinds of wild birds.
There are not many varieties of these
passenger files, and among those re-
cently discovered in America were a
few species known in Europe. This
extensive distribution of the few is
believed to be due to the fact that the
insects frequent certain kinds of mi-
grating birds.
These insects detach -themselves
from the body of their host should he
die, and dart off to find another bird
on which to live,
The mother bird -files lay only one
large egg at a tittle. This develops in-
to a peculiar kind of larva. It lives
with its mother until grown up, when
it 1s either depogited in a suitable spot
or just left to look after itself.
"A Farm Woman's Prayer" reads:
"Beep ever in my soul a sense of the
perspective; that my kettles and dish-
cloths may not obscure the beauty of
the rose blooming outside my door, the
quiver of the leaves in the summer
wind and the classic purity of the
, snow on the valley or hill."

A Few Tips for the Boys'
Glee Club in Schools.
The boys' glee club should be'con-
sidered by all the school as a special-
ized course of instruction in singing
for boys. It denotes a considerable
degree of talent and training. Al-
though not repaired, there should be
some premium put upon ability to
read w•elL
In organising a glee club the invita-
tion'should be extended to every boy,
with the understanding that he will
be given a competitive examination.
There are various' ways and systems
of gluing prelliminary examinations.
The final test of a voice in so small
an organization as a glee club is the
blending quality it has with the other
voices. It was the writer's privilege
to hear a glee club of one of the uni-
versities recently. The young men
looked and acted well, but they suf-
fered the handicap of poor voice selec-
tion, which in turn caused the group
to fail in putting over any great thrills
that the audience fully expected. An
individual voice may sound one way
alone, but, possibly, quite another way
when with other voices.
Dignified standards should be set up,
and when ante going should be rigidly
adhered to. Troublesome rehearsal at-
tendance can be eliminated by keeping
a waiting list of replacements. This also
works well in other disciplinary ca-
pacities.
However, no standard should be so
high as to disgust a boy; no rules so
rigid as to be prohibitive of trial and
effort. Always consider that such an
organization depends largely upon
good will and voluntary effort. This.
alone should be the frost evidence of
interest." Take this "interest and build
with it. There is a great cleat of in-
teresting work to- he done with the
boys' glee club.

the palm, the left hand moves very
swiftly toward the open right and
the coin flies back and is caught in

World's Wealth Reaches
Amazing Total.
The aggregate pre-war wealth of the
twenty -odd :nations actively engaged.
in the great war, according to an esti-
mate .'co•mpleted by the research de-
partment>of the Bankers' Trust Com
pany,`of'_New York, amounted to $630,-
000,000,000. The woalth of these same
nations to -day is estimated to be about
9619,000,000,000. The pre-war wealth
of the British Empire—that is of Great
Britain, the dominions, India and the
crown colonies, was approximately!
$140,000,000,000, while to -day the
wealth of this same group of nations
Is estimated by the Bankers' Trust
Company to be around 9149,000,000,
0p0. The wealth, of France before the
war is placed at just under 960,000,-
000,000, and is estimated to be ap-
proximately the same to -day. The pre-
war wealth o1 the United States is
placed at -200,000,000,000 and the
wealth to -day at .230,000,000,000, while
the pre-war wealth of Germany is esti-
mated to have been upward 01 955,000,
000,000. These figures are all on the
gold pre-war basis at values, having
been adjusted for inflation.
The per capita wealth of Great Bri-
tain
ri tain to -day is placed at 91,489 and of:
the different, nations composing the
British Empire at 9418, including the
wealth and population of India. The
wealth of France is estimated,' in 1913,
to be $1,434 per capita and of the
United States, 92,000 per capita. The
wealth of Germany is placed at 9901
per capita.
The Bankers' Trust Company points
out that the total wealth of the former
belligerents has not materially
changed as a result of the war, but
that there has been a marked redistri-
bution of such wealth, this redistribu-
tion having taken place not only as
between nations, but also as between
