The Really Im- portant Time in Early Life is When Baby Begins to Think for Himself. All mothers will tell you that their easdly. Also he sbould be beginning babies are very wise, They abound in an :instinctive wisdom,, which, being given to thein naturally at birth, has as its main objective the obtaining of exactly what they want. ' For this purpose in early days the lungs ane employed frequently and fully, but gradually the little one be- gins to think and net for himself. It is sheer delight to all parents to watch this development, the stages of which can be;mar'ked by the baby's power to do certain things, and to puzzle out Problems whish, to the infant mind, are full of pitfalls, Wise mothers will tell you that es soon as baby is born you can tell whether he is mentally perfect by put- ting some small round object -it used t0 be a lialesoverelgn in the old days— Into the wee open palm. IC baby im- mediately closes his chubby flngens tightly over the treasure—well, you Rave no further need to worry about the little one's mental powers; he is certain to be fully equipped in that re- spect. Smiles and Tears. A really healthy baby should begin ,to take an intelligent interest In things when about six months old. At this age, if a watch 1s put to his ear, he should smile, and as soon as the "tick -tick" is taken away his sound lungs should come into play. Between the sixth and ninth months baby should be found trying to lift thing's for himself, and as the first an- niversary of his birth conies 'round he should bo able to lift quite heavy toys and other things, which were never untended to be toys. at all, and quits to reason for himself. At :this age a child, will copy a par- ent who sounds a note on the piano, and will begin to see the connection between the striking of the note and the "noise" which follows. Then, again, his little mind should now be able to tackle problems. He should be able to understand that, if one of his small toys. Is put inside a box in his presence, and the lid closed down, the treasure is not irretrievable. If the lid is not too heavy and does not stick, baby, after tinkering with it for a bit, during which time he is turn- ing the problem over in his mind, should try to open il. Learning to Talk, Now, of course, comes the most in- teresting of all periods In baby's growth. He learns to speak, and copies everything that Is said,'ielect- ing, if possible, the longest word in any sentence to repeat. Baby's mind is still keeping astride of his develop- ment in other directions', and at eigh- teen months he should begin to point out and name animals and so on, pic- tures of which are shown him in books. Al this stage the Child memory is continually coming into r.se, and every week you find that baby remembers things for a longer period. Se the gradual development of the little brain goes on until the time comes for the child togo to school and learn terribly ..big things out of specially -prepared .books. And who shall say that the earlier "education" of the borne is not more important than the mere fornial studies of the school. Countries Out of Shape. Modern map -makers regard the maps madea few hundred yearn ago as great curiosities.—and so they are, yet every atlas published in the twien- tieth century boauows an idea- from . the fifteenth century. It is known as Mercator's projection. As a rule, the map of the world is represented in our atlas in two forms —first the two hemispheres side by side, with America and the Pacific oc-i cupying almost the whole of one, and the rest of the continents anti oceans! nearly the whole of the other. Beathe two circles are difficult of mental ad- justment, as they require to be placed) back to balk to represent the actual geography of the globe.. This difficulty was recognized by a famous geographer named Gersedus Mandator. He originated the system, i ollo ed of drawingh still followed, the map of the world as though the globe were flat, having all the meridians of'iongi WE WANT'CFRJRNING We eupply.,cans and pay express charges.

Thus one gets a bird's eye view of the world, as it were, but only the part of the map adjacent to the Equator are correct to scale. As the reap proceeds north and south towards the poles, oceans and continents expand more and more, and are. thus out of propor- tion. Nevertheless, the advantages of this projection, named after Mercator, are obvious., Saving the Buffalo. Many people recall "Buffalo 13111," He got bis name from his proweao as a hunter of -.the American bison. He, and others, almost exterminated this magnificent beast, which, within the memory of many now living, roamed the prairies 0f the United States and Canada in vast herds. To -clay the only buffalos left in the United States are preserved in Yellow- stone Park; but in Canada, when there is more room, the buffalo is like- ly to ;become a national asset and a source of revenue. It is estimated. that there aro in Canada '10,000 bead of ' buffalo, and -their preservation. is due to the late Laird-Strathcona,- who, nearly fifty yearn ago, collected a entail herd for his estate near Winnipeg. They flour. 'semi and lucreaseda and were bought by the Government to stock the na- tional park at Banff, in the Rockies. When the herd had increased to about 700 it was removed to 160 square miles of territory in Alberta. Here the herd thrived, and now -it is about 8,000 strong. The Dominion has estebltshed another herd in Alberta, at Elk Island Park, We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success, Musician.

A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE 0 No Wonder Health Gives Out and She Becomes Weak and Despondent. It is literally true concerning wo- man in the incurs that her work is never done. She starts with house- work when she rises in the Morning and is kept busy up to the time she retires at night, The work must be done whether she is feeling well or not. It is no wonder that she often breaks down under the strain. She becomes breathless at slight exertion, feels exhausted if she walks up stairs. HIeadaches and dizzy spells become frequent, and life seems a burden. Nlueh of this trouble is due to the fact that list blood has become thin and watery, and to s•egain her good health she must take a reliable blood -enrich- ing tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, The great value of this tonic medicine is shown by the statement of Mrs.' Mary Nolan, Lintlaw, Sask,, who says:—"When 1 began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was a physical wreck. It was with great difiicuity that. I could do light housewgric. I suffered from headaches, my heart would beat violently at the least exertion, and S always felttired and depressed. I did not sleep well at night, and I had no appetite—my limbs would swell as in dropsy. It was at this stage that a neighbor advised me to take Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I had used the pills for some weeks borers I began to feel thele ,benefit, and thus encouraged I continued taking them for several months, when I was again as strong and well as ever I had been. I have no hesitation in saying that these pills are a remarkable, blood builder and strength renewer and I shall ever be grateful for what they did for me." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50' cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. ,._ Tit for Tat. - "The dealer made you pay more than this car is worth," courniented the candid friend.

It is surprising how patieu.t people are over these matters; they take them, as a rule quite philosopbicaliy. 11 is interesting to watch people at such times. Their faces tell the tale. Character Genies out .then. Perhaps it is well that we don't hear all they say, or would like to say. The inconveniences of everyday life, the petty obstructions and thwartings; are the very things that put sa man on his, mettle.' If ho tau live through these and not lose his soul, he is the •victor for all time. A number of us have travelled cer- tain roads for years only to find, when we got well going, that we have had to turn back again. It has been so in business and social life. Just when we thought everything was going well we have had to pull up and turn round: If a elan will only listen he may hear this story told every day. We go along for months, and the way gets better and the sun clearer every day. Then the path becames treacherous and dangerous. Someoue who knows says.: "You mustn't pass" —"No thoroughfare." To pass certain points in life would be dangerous to some of us. We can only parry so much luggage, and when that is exceeded we fail. That is what we mean when we speak of one suffer- ing from "swelled -headedness;' and "having more ballast than 11e can car- ry." We all know such people. They have gong beyond the "No thorough- fare" sign. Wrongdoers Pass Barrier. All wrongdoers have passed this seine barrier.. Ph•ey did not heed the warning.

When a man says he can, he is deliberately declaring what is not true. Every policeman, in- dicates that we are not free. Our laws and judges and prisons do the sante. There are boundaries we must not pass.' For instauce, tho boundary of a man's right is the. safety 'of his brother `man. When another man's life is imperilled by our action, It is for us to etop. We have no eight to go farther, here is "No thoroughfare." People say, "I want this and that," and they may be speaking the truth, Our needs are quite different from our wants. Over our needs this notice is. never written; over our wants it is mostly there. Some things we haven't and some we must not have, Let us come to believe that'evea'y street In our life tbat is stopped is so because soineone who has our interest at iteart has done us that service. The doctor does it with our appetites. The parson with our moral declensions. Our friends with the things they see are not good for us. It is for us to think kindly of such people, and to realize that it one avenue is rightly closed another will assuredly open for our goad, and it will lead to our home,. Gloves Throught the Ages. Gloves have a curious anocdotago of their own, especially in regard to their use as symbols. Perhaps the fact that gloves were an important item in the growth of hnxury during 'the age of chivalry has something to do with their prominence over all other artic- les of wear in regard to symbolic use. Gloves adorned with rubies and sap- phires, and perfumed gloves from Spain, were part of the outfits of wealthy people at an early period in our history, and stories of the convey- ance of poibon through richly orna- mented gifts of this sort brought with ahem the ill-omeden phrase of "poison- ed gloves." Naturally the poets took an early op- portunity of making a prettier use of this article of apparel, and "0 that I were a glove upon that band, that I might touch that cheek!" was only one of many conceits of a similar kind. From this it was a short step to the granting of a lady's glove to her cava- lier as a symbol of his championship, and the prize of the Queen of Beauty's glove in tournaments. The symbolism of the glove was `used again between men at variance. A commona provoking w Y of P vak ng an enemy to a duel was to flick a glove across. the face. A glove, too, was sometimes 'a 'nark of fealty between friends. Thee. there was the custom or flinging down it glove to be taken up in de- fiance; of which the last relic in time% country was the challenge of the King's Champion to all end sundry at ii coronation. Another form of symbolism has passed into our proverbs with Cow- per's "As if the world and they were hand and glove." Again, we have the phrases about "kid -glove diplomacy" and "kid -glove methods," which 'may be set against that "mailed fist" of which we heard too much in the first years of this century.

She (16 tourist)—"I suppose out on the great lonely ocean the crying of the seamews is very sell?" He—"Yes; but nothing lite as af- fecting as the blubber of the whales." A Tulchan. In this seventeenth century—two hundred years ago—the dairymen -"of Scotland, when ever they had au un- ruly cow which refused to let down her milk to the milker, would bring out a tulchan, by means of which they completely deceived the animal, and induced her to give her milk to the dairymaid freely. A tulchan was simply a calf -skin stuffed with bay in a rude manner. This imitation calf was brought, its head -bent under the cow, and while the mother thought her young one was dvawing off the milk, It was, in reality, the cunning milkmaid wlio was doing so, In 1017, Ring James, as Carlyle, in his Cromwell's Letters, tells us, ap- pointed certain men for certain duties in Scotland. Tho Scotch were eery mucin opposed to these new appoint- ments, for the object of them was to deceive the, people and to drain the money away from them. For this reason, the Scotch gave these new appointees the RAme of tul- chane—pieces of political mechanism constructed by Parliament and the King's Council to deceive the poor Scotch and "milk" them of their re- venue. In life, there are, alas, tulchan friends and tulchan friendships, even unto this day. Many a lad is decoyed into evil by tulchan promises and pro. fesslons. What sort .of friends are these? Real ones?. A thousand times no. They are "tulchans"—false—a mere similitude of the troth. Beware of them, while they are beguiling you, Satan may step in and make you his prey. When bad men try to win the hearts of others, thee make all sorts of pro- fessions and use all sorts of sp•eciotis arguments; but their cords •are tul- chan, stuffed with 0.lschood' and meant to cheat.
