HELPING, BABY TO THINK
Education Starts Long Before Schooldays. 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

the parallels of latitude.
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,

more than from success,
Musician. "No Thoroughfare"
He could not keep a single tune
Nor count upon a single•note.
The 1151 came easy, and the rhyme;
But something 'wayward in hie throat
Would spoil the music every time.
The scantest air was sum to'stray
And somehow perish by the way.
So for he knew the humble art
Of yielding, in .his Patient heart
He wrought onelittle meagre line,
Of love and supplication blent•,—
Four words, two bare, a simple thing,
A frayment that a child might sing,—
And mastered that, and was content;
At work, at rest, in storm and calm,
His prayer, hie paean and his psalm,
"0 Lord, remember mel" it went,
Sometimes 'twould lapse for weeks
and. then
Come drifting down the stable lot
TIined to a saunter, staid and slow,
Familiar and serene again,
Or sound across the garden' plot,
Tuned to the ticking of a hoe;
And often in an hour of gloom
We heard it like e bilgle tone
Calling to courage, :high and lone
In an old shabby upper room;
Or else,' some April morning long,
At brief, contented intervals
It filtered -through the study walls,
A low monotony of song
Like droning of a happy bee—
"0 Lord, remember me!"
And so, when day was in the west
But 'not' one shade of gathering night
Mad dulled dear memories'in his sight
Or touchedthe things, be loved the
best,
With life still sweet and hope still
springing
And peace hie portionto the last,
He took the summons, clear and sate,
And scarcely faltered in his singing,
For almost as he sang he passed
One evening through the open gate—
Upon hie brow a faint surprise,
A quickening light, as though he
caught
Old echoes' in the fair new skies:
His little lowly melody
With unimagined music wrought,
The broken beat, the halting bars,
The wistful, "Lord, remember me!"
In measure with the morning stars;
The song that an and upward led
Sounding beyond earth's utmost rim,
A part of Heaven.. -
"Ay," we said,
"His Lord remembered him."

paInion.
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„

There' ifs nothing more annoying,
when striving toget along,, than to
be met with the notice, "No thorough-
fare, ;rile nearest way is bloated to
you, and to get to your destination you
must fake the long way round''.
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. They said: "We are wise
enough to tread carefully on the other
side; this notice is only, for clumsy
people. We will go and see what
there is," They went and they tumb-
led in! •
We must be kept within bounds.
Not one of Its is really free. Wo can-
not do as' we like. 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.
Fight Weevil With Airplane.

ment is being tried In "dusting" sugar

Eve's Apple Tree.
Among the many botanical curlosd-
ties of Ceylon is a fruit supposed to
bear the marks of Eve's teeth!
The tree on wbioil 1t ;grove ba known
by the sign'iflcant name'- of "Forbidden
' Fruit," oa' "ISVe's• Apple' Tree." The
blossom is pleasantly scented, and the

He—"Yes; but nothing lite as af-

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.

A Poem You Should Know.
"The Ancient Mariner."
You might roll Shackleton, Scott,
sud Amundsen into one, and then fail
to produce a combination of experi-
ence that would even begin to rival
Coleridge's .picture of the South Polar
regions in his great poem, "The An-
cient Mariner.", Yet Coleridge had
never been there and was writing
purely from his imagination.
The following extract -from the poem
is interesting at the present time; for
the Discovery, Captain Scott's Antaro
tic exploration ship, now known as
the Royal Research Ship, recently sail-
ed on a voyage of research in South
Polar regions,
And now the Storm -blast came; and he
Was tyrannous and strong:
He struck with his o'ertaking wings,
And chased us south along.
With sloping moats and dipping prow,
As who pursued with yell and blow
Still treads the shadow of his foe
And forward bends, his head,
The ship drove fast, loud roared the
blast,
And southward ay we fled.
And now there came both nnist and
saow
And it grew wondrous cold;
And ice, mast -high, came floating by,
As green as emerald.
And through the drifts and snowy
clifts
Did send a dismal sheen;
Nor shapes of men nor beasts we
ken—
The ice was all between.
The ice was here, the ice was there,
The ice was all around;
It cracked and growled, and roared
and howled,
Like noises 1n a mound!

The Origin of a Nursery
Rhyme.
Scholars are always finding out that
the most nonsensical nursery rhymes
have a respectable ancestry and were
in their infancy symbolic to thg smell-
ier
opelar mind of some striking happenings
in politics, warfare, or social progress.
Here is 0, man writing to the London
Times about a similar meaning in one
of the most familiar of such rhymes.
Our readers will be interested It not
convinced by what he says.
I was taught in my youth, he says,
some sixty years. ago, that "Sing a
song of sixpence" arose as an occult
jubilation over the firat printing of the
complete English Bible in the year
1535. The "four -and -twenty black-
birds" stood for the alphabet.They
were "baked in pie" when set up by
the printer in "pica" . form. The
"opening" of the "pie". was the publi-
cation of the volume, which, by. its
dedication in the preface to Henry
VIII.; 'was set before tile King"
