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.
From the time of exposure,. from
ten days to two week's elapses before

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.

THE STORY OF A BLOOD FEUD '

bough t."—Longfellow:
CHAPTER VL—(Cont'd.)
"Mr. Garvock has had all he wishes
Ramsay. 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.

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!

Do We Want *a Neese Calsndar?
We have entered upon another year
with. our old and unreforhned.oadentlab.:
Proposals for its simplification have -
often been made; but itremakes com-

Last year we. hall live Fridays in
February --a thing which,.'' though it.
had not :happened previously for forty
years, will happen again niter an inter.:
val of twenty-eight years. Yet nor-•
orally it is only twenty-eight years.

Why then, the long interval'offorty. '
Iyears Since lrebruaty29th 'previously

hundred years at three successive sen

terval a `double 0"' year (1900) inter

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. Old.
age pensioners, too, get an extra
week's money.

A further peculiarity of the•calendar-
is that Occasionally two great anni-
versaries
nniversaries of the Church fall on the
same day. Thus, in 1921theAnnucia-
iion was on Good Friday, anti it wilt

in the prophecy—
"When

England will meet with a strange in15-

Some authorities, however, con-
ceder that the coincidence meant is
that between the Annunsciatlon and
Easter Day, sa in 1894. 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. School, univere
silty, and law terms have to be, altered
in accordance with the change.in the
date of Baster, while the date of .Whit
