Woman's MAKE PARLOR IN OLD- FASHIONED HOME SERVE A PURPOSE. 1f you have never tried using the largest, pleasantest room in the house for the family bedroom, you don't know how much more you will enjoy it in that capacity, than as a parlor, used only occasionally. T live in one of those old-fashioned houses in which a parlor was added to an already larger number of rooms than is needed by the average Rurally. This company room was the largest room in the house, and so pleasant, airy ante sunny with its south and west indows and sash door opening to the "east upon the end of a south ver- andah. So delightfully Situated it was a shame to use it so little.' Such an abundance of sunshine went to waste in it and the finest view we had was from its seldom -used windows, I tried using it as a living -room, but it was too remote from the kitchen and dining -room, and an air of made - to -be- used- only: on- state- occasions clung to it so persistently that the man invariably stopped in the "mid- dle" room to Iounge and read, leaving my cherished living -room to the isola- tion that the habits of years had ban- ished it. I reflected one day what an attrac- tive bed -room it would make, and how convenient the smaller room opening from it would be as a nursery. The idea so captivated me that I promptly planned to rearrange it for that pur- pose and soon had my erstwhile use- less parlor fitted up as a bedroom and private sitting -room. A. fair-sized bedroom opened from the middle room, which was also a large room, and both having a south exposure. I had a very wide doorway cut between the two rooms, nearly eliminating the partition, and so com- bined them into one delightfully long, sunny living -room. It was so enjoy- able to have the piano and books and all the most useful articles of furni- ture out where we would use them every day. Our living -room became one, in a sense that no other room ever had, while my parlor never afforded me the pleasure and satisfaction that my big, sunny bedroom does with its accommodation for a fire in the win- ter and plenty of fresh and and sun- shine during the summer.—Mrs. E. M. MEASLES. The season for measles is during the winter and spring months. One - hall of the deaths front measles in Canada occurred in the months of January, February and March. A great many of these deaths could have been prevented if parents had real- ized the danger and how to avoid it. The dangerous. age for measles is early childhood. Sixty per cent. of the deaths from measles occur in chin dren under five years of age. Some parents consider measles to be a nec- essary evil of childhood and that a child may be allowed to catch measles and have it "over and done with," This is a great mistake. The older a child is when he con- tracts measles the better the chance he will have of recovery, the younger he is the greater the danger. The death rate of children having measles at two years of age may be five times as high as it fs among those who post- pone the disease until the tenth year of life. Measles is spread by the secretions of the nose and throat, especially in the tiny droplets sprayed out in cough- ing, sneezing and loud talking. The danger of catching the disease is greatest during the period from five days before the rash appears and for five days thereafter. Before the rash appears the child may seem to have only a cold, but in reality this cold may be the beginning of measles.

(e8UE No, 6—'26, 1 the child is taken ill. The illness is much less likely to be dangerous if taken in hand at an early stage. The first symptoms are d to rise In bod m- perature and redness of the eyes. Therefore, when a child has been ex- posed to measles, the temperature. should be taken on the eighth, ninth 'and tenth days after exposure. If the body temperature has risen or the eyes are reddened, put the child to bed and keep him there. Bed is the one safe glace to fight measles, and the earlier in the disease the child is put to bed, the less will be the danger of death or e. serious result, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, eye or ear '' trouble. There is all the difference in the world between an attack of measles developing in a child exposed to body chill, and in a child safe- r guarded by warmth and rest. Measles requires good nursing and the care of a physician. Theatient should be kept away from other peo- ple until the rash has quite gone, and i should remain in bed as long as there is fever or a cough. Do not let the child be uncovered and chilled as this may lead to pneumonia. A somewhat darkened, comfortably warm room is 'the best and the air should be kept moist and soothing to the air passages; by means of pans of water or by weti sheets, which may be hung across the doorway.

I' think he is not feeling over well." "Yes, ma'am. I don't wonder he was upset," answered Ramsay indis- creetly, and on the spur of the mo- ment. Then he reddened under his mistress's inquiring gaze, and hastily went on with his duties, praying that he would not be further questioned. "What do you mean, Ramsay? Has your master been specially upset this afternoon? Did anybody call while we were out?" "Only Miss Rankine, and the doc- tor." "Miss Rankine and the doctor! But why wasn't I told? When did they come?" "Miss Rankine came about half -past five; and the master, he expressly said 1 was not to mention anything to any- body," said poor Ramsay, now Hound- ening hopelessly. "That will de, thank you, Ramsay," said his mistress with dignity. "We can wait on ourselves." Directly the door closed she looked across at Lucy, determinedly. "I must be at the bottom of this, Lucy. Peter can be very tiresome and masterful, but he must remember that his mother requires sonic considera- tion. I will go to him. You had bet- ter stay here --or go to the boudoir. I must make him understand that there is more deference owing . to me than he seems inclined to pay." . So saying, and gathering all her dignity—which was considereble— about her, Mrs. Garnock sailed out of the room. Lucy went abstractedly on with her, supper, disturbed in -her mind, and full of curiosity. Mrs. Garvock went straight to the library door, which she opened without knocking. There was only one. small light, under a green shade, btninieg- on the desk at which Peter had already seat- ed himself. He looked up with evi- dent annoyance at the opening of the door. His mother closed it quite quietly, and steeped forward. "I've come to hear what. actually happened to -day, Peter," she said in a tone which sounded quite ordinary, but which was as quietly determined as Peter's own, "Ramsayhas just let drop a few words=no, don't get angry; it was done quite inadvertent- ly,but what dict Judy come here this afternoon for? And why were we not to be told?" Peter Garvock put down his pen. "You are rather exasperating, mother. I think I might have had peace for just one night! I told you you would probably hear an embroid- ered story to -morrow." "That is precisely why I prefer to hear an unembroidered one to -night. It is my due, Peter, and I should not have had to ask it twice -not even once!—from your father," "Well, if you will have it—Alan and Carlotta have fallen in love with one, another, and I've got my con..e in con- sequence. I went to have it out with him. We met at the march duke, and well, we did have it out! He'll re- member this day, perhaps, and what it means to get across my path -as he has done" Mrs. Garvock looked the picture of consternation. "But, Peter, it's impossible! Inlave 791,y,with Carlotta! 791,y, how often has he seen her?" "You can go and ask him. I don't know. Pm giving you what you ask or the plain, unembroidered facts." "Then what brought Judy here?" "We fought at the march dyke, and I, suppose that on her way here she found him lying on the ground." "Peter!" cried the mother, in a hol- low whisper. "You didn't kill him?" "Oh, no! Sanderson called in on his way back from Stair—he hasn't been gone above half an hour—to tell me that the cur is all right." Mrs. Garvock wrung her lily-white hands, on which the diamonds shone, "Oh, Peter, it would have been bet- ter without this! Nothing has gone right with us since you got engaged to that woman! You are well quit of her." Peter made no demur, but bent his head to his desk again, as if longing to be left alone. -- She stood contemplating him for a brief space, wondering whether he suffered, yet afraid to ask. So littae did she know of the son she had borne, she scarcely dared offer her sympathy lest it should be cast back upon herl "Ent, Peter----?" "Yes, mother. What now?" he ask- ed, raising his head with a gesture of infinite weariness.

Minard's Liniment for the Grippe. that they can starry, here, at least! Are you sure there has been no mis- take?" "There is no mistake, As to their marrying—I don't know where they will quarry, or when, or whether they ever will; but I'll keep my fingers tight on Stair, mother, and Alan Ran- kine shall feel the grip of the man he has played his dastardly tricks an! As far her—it was for my money she wished to marry me. We shall see what kind of a wife she'll make to a in Stair!" The slow vindictiveness with which her son spoke chilled the heart of Isabel Garvock. "Oh, Peter, don't talk like that! It makes my blood run cold. You will get over it, my dear. There never could have been a blessing with this marriage. It made me very unhappy all along, and I only refrained from saying what I actually thought, be- cause you seemed so set upon it. One day you will be able to look back and be glad this has happened." "Maybe. And"no ', mother, having got the whole story, will you. leave me?" • "I nrust, T suppose. But I am pot easy in mind, Peter. I should like to stop and'help you to bear it. After all, you. have Lucy and me left. We'll stand by you; you may depend en us." "I do depend on you," he said, but without warmth. And once more the 'weary look settled on hie hard face: i Thus baffled and repulsed, what I could his mother do but turn and leave hhn, closingthe door softly. She met Lucy leaving the dining - room, and drew her hastily into the boudoir, "Oh, my dear! Terrible things seem to have happened! Can you believe that it is on Alan's account -Carlotta has given up your own brother?" '"On Alan's account l" echoed Lucy, . and the mother might have been warn- ed by the sudden, shrill note in the piping voice. ' "So he tells rale. How long is it since Alan came hone?—little more than a week!" "A Week, yesterday morning," said Lucy dully. - "Well, apparently be has made good use of his week, or else he has met Carlotta before." "Dd you mean -that-that there is anything between Alan and Carlotta, mother?" "Yes. She ,has. thrown Peter over for; your cousin, and, it seems, they had it out on the hill at the march dyke, and Peter left Alan lying on the ground, and Judy was here this alter - noon about it! It's the most extra- ordinary story I've ever heard, Lucy, and to happen in a sober Scotch house- hold on a Sabbath day! Don't, you think we have had enough excitement to last us for years?" But Lucy de" not hear. Presently, the mother, looking at. her, saw that her face had become - ashen -hued, and that she was trembl- ing like a leaf. f "Don't take it like that, my dear. After all, it is only a man's quarrel, and needn't affect us. And really, in our hearts we ought to be rather grad that it is all brolii'n off, though, of course, if she marries Alan, we shall still have her, in a sense, in the family." Then the light broke in on Mrs. Garvock, and site understood!' The blow bad fallen doubly on The Lees, and the strange affinity between Alan Rankine and Carlotta Carlyon, whether it would ever bring happiness; to them or not, had certainly dealt no- thing but dool and woe to Peter Gar- vock and his sister Lucy! A Pro wising Prescription. "I don't know what we're coining to, I'm sure," said the business man as he' and the minister sat waiting on the I Hotel' veranda for news'coneerniug ai. threatened strike.

"Preacriptiono," the minister re- plied, "are usually a bit difficult to in- terpret But it is seldom necessary that the patient shall understand the doctor's Latin. Why do I think this prescription promising? Well, for one thing because it goes to the root of the trouble, Men aro blaming the ills of the' world to various secondary causes—ignorance, wrong laws, wrong distribution of wealth, wrong 'sur- roundings, wrong social customs, and so forth. Now none of these things lie at the root of the matter. At bottom. what is wrong is man himself. If laws and social customs are wrong, man made them so. If there is ignor- ance, if there is injustice, man makes 11. If there are surroundings in width man cannot' thrive, they -are surround,' ings that man has made.

How can you change society except by changing the individuals? The pro.toss is slow, I grant, but it is sure. And do you know any other proposed reme- dy as promising as this?"

Some countries 'still use the Jnliau calendar, and consequently they make every fourth year a reap year. It fol- lows that by their system each week. day has its turn as leap year day once every twenty-eight years. Another anomaly Is that in a leap year persons who,are paid' monthly or quarterly have tgive a day's work for nothing, Ir the salary is $5,000 a Year, ttbis means a loss to the worker of $13.79. Tile State, in. particular,. gains largely through this peculiarity, Pay is also affected by the calendar in a different manner. We sometimes have fifty-three Saturdays in. a year, and consequently most . workers re. celye an extra week's pay in it. This makes a great difference to big cor- porations, as well as to the State.

Easter in -that year fell on March 25th, the Feast of the Annunciation. In connection with miscellaneous. anniversaries, also, there are many curiosities. - Some people, for in- stance, are unable to reconcile the date of a birth with some other date. This may be due to failure to allow tor the difference between our former calendar and the present calendar. A Fixed Date for Easter. Let us take a single. illustration. The anniversary of George III's birth is given as June 4th, whereas in many books he is said to have been born on May 24th, 1738. So, in fact, he was. Hui when the calendar was altered in 1752 birthday, of all living persons were posedated by eleven days as far as the law was concerned: After 1752, therefore, George IIl.'s birthday was celebrated on June 4th. The question of a fixed date for Easter 'has often been raised. The varlations in the date of Raster cause a great deal more inconvenience and disorganization in the community than is generally realized.
