"Th,u art not well, Tara," replied her mother', not understanding her, for she had not noticed the occur- rence andseeing- her shiver, thought her feverish. •"Thou art not well; lie in my arms ior a while, and the cold will pass away." "Would that .it were so," said the girl, after a while, and still sobbing. "HIush, child; let this fancy pass ,•ona thee. Sleep, now, here. 1 will sing thee the old song. Nay, thou :halt not leave suet There is roost at thy brother's heart, and strengths still in her arms, to hold thee safely." As Tara laid herself softly down in the old place, and her mother, rock• ing herself to and fro, sang the low sweet lullaby of childhood.—the girl's sobbing gradually stopped, and a gentle sleep fell upon her, Amanda waachcd the change anxiously. At first her brow was contracted, as if with pein, and a broken sob carne now and again u ith her breathing: but gradually the head fell hack on her ,rut. to sweet Meath opened slight's, and teat., which had had no vent ire fore, .yelled gently from under the c: we 1 eyelids as the features re- laxed fit., at shire, "Yes," thought Anunda, a, she hent over her child, while her own tears .ell hot and fax "tire goddess is uitlt her news and 1-h4- is again "What ?lath 11appened?" a-kest 12a,1- aittrs:•.1 , refreshed by ser ,'e.,p, she rose, and carne gently ,,,,yards the los _ pinsist:-chair• on which Anunda .still .sat, "Is she i11?"

As yet no dif- ference had arisen between them, and Radha still looked tip to her, more with the respect of a child for its mother than as a. sister -wife would comport 'herself to her equal. Should she tell Radha all? It had occurred to her that he ,had imposed upon her some task which she hesitated to per- form—that .Radha had some impa- tience of her broth•er's :presence, It might be a demand for money.—it might be in relation to political ab- jects of his mission, of which Anunda had a deep dread, lest her husband should become an active party, and so be embroiled with the Mahome- dam officers o1 the country. She con- sidered for a moment: but Anunda's was no timid nature. She was not afraid of Radha; and with Tara's happiness at stake, she ,could risk no ceremony with the sister of hitt who had evidently caused more than a passing cloud, (To Be Continued) mother?" she asked abruptly.

QUINTUPLETS WORLD REC- ORD IN SUCCESSFUL 'BIRTHS What is considered to be a world record in successful births occurred in the northern Ontario settlement of Corbeil. in .the Parry Sound dis- trict not far from North Bay when Mrs. Ovila Dionne, 24 year old' moth- er of six children, gave birth to five girls within half ant hour. The quin- tuplets appear to hare ,successfully passed the crisis and never 'before in 500 years 6f recorded medical hist- ory has it been known for five babies to survive so long. They are the world's first quintuplets to live more than 50 minutes, The five tiny babies cooed con- tentedly in improvised cradles .at their farmhouse home near the Nor- thern Ontario settlement home there while their patents received congratu- lations on the birth of what is be- lieved to be Canada's first gnin'tup- lees. The Dionne babies still alive after more than. four days in the world, were christened and named Cecile, Yvonne, Marie, Emily an'd Annette, Unlike parents who 'find it hard to name one child, .Mr, ,ancl Mrs, Ovila Dionne lost no time eel- ectui'g them, :An offer was made to exhibit tate children at the Chicago lair. Ovila Dionne, their 3!1' -year-old 'French- Canadian 'farmer parent, will receive $100 weekly, starting at once, and $ti350 a week and ,30 per cent of all receipts if the tiny girl; survive to go on view at the big fair. After the 'signing of the contract it was announced that the five little daughters of lies. 'Ovila Dionne of Corbel] would' not journey to Chi- cago. The quintuplets, their doctor has ordered, met not leave Ontario this summer, Dr, A, R. Dafoe, the Dionne physician, declared the quin- tuplete have developed jaundice and have turned yellowish, Be ad led, however, that this is not unusual with babies. l)r. Defoe gild special attention 40110 being given one of the children. He said this child the smallest of the quintuplet, had caused soma_ anxiety, "Two are in excellent health, twti are doing fairly well while the other is in a somewhat precarious condi- tion," lee said. Dr, Dafoe explained there always was a need of great care in such cases, The child in question, be said, was. indifferent at times about taking nourishment "It is a delicate matter to bring any premature baby alive through the period following birth," he said, "and the Dionne infant weigh as tittle a- one and a half to three and a half 10 Inds, ' All live children were horn within half an hour, three of thorn before 1)r, A. R. Dafoe arrived to attend their .34 -year-old mother. They are perfect babies although two of them scaled only two pounds four 0111100, whco their father placed thcnf on a potato settle and anoouiaced the weights. 1)r, Datoe stated he saw no reason why all tbotild not live if given proper care. The first to arrive weighed three pounds four ounces each and all five totalled only 13 pounds six ounces. "Anil when do you expect these babies to have the normal life hope vii normal babies the doctor was asked. "In two weeks," "Give me a month; if they live a month they are un even terms with ether babies," the doctor said. The five baby girls were resting comfortably in the .special incubator rushed from Chicago. The incubator, more than a0 years old_and one of the few of its kind left on the North American continent that could be used in t'he log -cabin, was placed beside t'he mother. It is ex- pected to increase the chances of life for at least three of the youngsters, according to Dr, (Dafoe, who said: "The condition of the children has improved daily, ;but one of .them is in a pretty bad way and it is doubtful i.f she will live. Three of the others are doing !fairly well, and one is .do- ing -tedium well. "They are being fed 'human milk, and are given all they will swallow. Each meal consisted of -at least Iwo eye -droppers full df the milk fed a drop at a time. Chances of all of the children living are about one in 500. T•he beet thing that can be said at this time is the fact that they are all alive and improving." Since her marriage in 11914„ when she was !16 years of age, Mrs. Dionne has given birth to six other children, all o'f then single births, Congratulations of 'Hou. Dr, H. A, Bruce, Lieutenant-lG:overnor of On- tario, and other notables poured Matto the ,farm home, but Oliva Dionne, while he received the. messages, won- dered what be would do to feed the five new mouths ,and raise the babies properly, Dionne is buying a farm but it is still Heavily encumbered and he has found difficulty in staking ends meet, He is five feet eight inches tall' .and weight 1130' pounds Mrs,: Dionne is slightly shorter Her husband ayes ;hazy about the ages of his 'other children, but 'Mrs, Dionne gave names -arid ages with her husband acting a+s interpreter: Pauline Is 131, months old, Daniel tw.o. years, Theresa 'five, Rose six •and Ernest seven. Mone !olf theua g'oe's to school as it is three miles from the Dionne • fannthouse. • •Th•e birth of the Ifitte daughters bo Mrs. Ovila D'idnne is the first 'guiii- tuple birth in Canada, 'so far as he. knows, ,Dr. F. C. Routley, -general secretary of the Canadian Medical Alssociation, said. "T'f it is not a world •eecond, it is a Canadian record, so far as I can re- call," said Dr, Routley. S. tT. Man- chester, registrar of vital' statistics for Ontario, found the quintuple birth so unusual he could scarcely believe the trews report. Dr. W. A, Dafoe, demonstrator of obstetrics and gynaecology at -university df Toronto, said it was tate first time in his experience be had heard of such a birth, Dr. A., R. Dafoe, who was in attendance at the bietit, is a brother. "It is a rare occurrence," said the Toronto physician, "and as far as 1 know* there has never been a Isitnilar case here," !An executor of the will of the late Charles A. biller, who be'questbh- ed an estate valued at $5120,1000 to the woman bearing the most child- ren in the 10 years a'fter his d•eat•h in 1926, said Mrs. Dionne was not eligible under the terms of the will and that it applied only to Toronto mothers, The mother may be eligible for a "king's 'bounty Of three pounds, it was learned at the Department of State at Ottawa. Qualifying provis- ions for the. bounty specify ,mothers of triplets. IBirth of five children at once, such as occurred near Corbeil, Ont., is so rare, medical historians at -Chicago said, that only 30 cases 'have been recorded in the last 500 years. 1)i Morris 40ishbein, editor of the Journ- al of American Medical Association, added that in none of the cases on record have all the children lived more than 30 minutes. "If the five girls born to lairs. O'vila Dionee lived longer than an hour or so," said Dr. Fishbein, "then it is truly a rare anti noteworthy event. Most of such births occur long before the normal tittle simply because of pressure and the children are unable to survive." INo ratio of quintuple births has been computed, Dr, Fishbein said. because they are 10 rare. Twins, tite association records showed, occur once in Sit births, Only one case is recorded in which all four quadrup- lets lived to adult age. There are only six cases of sextuple births on record, SUNLIGHT GLASS Several years ago persons traveling in the deserts of the Southwest not- iced that odd bottles or other articles of transparent glass take on a deep purple or a rick amber color after long exposure to the desert smt. The story leaked through to Europe, with the result that Germans representing jewelry and. novelty Brans combed the deserts to gather every 'bottle and every fragment of glass that had been exposed to the sun hing enough to become well colored. This glass was collected mainly froin the old mining camps of :Arizona, 'Nevada, and California. A great deal df it cavae hack to this continent, it is said, to find a ready market in the form of purple glass beads, "semi- precious stones," or novelties of one kind or another. More recently a Lu- crative business of no mean volume has been developed among various desert traders and other dwellers in the and wastelands in the production and marketing of sun -colored glass- ware. It requires very little !financial capital to get into this strange busi- ness, A hundred dollars will buy a lot of tumblers, bottles, jars, sugar bowls, and other articles -of new or used glasslware. We cart this stuff out in the desert and plant it on tap -o'f a hill or other place where It will receive the greatest possible amount of sunlight during every daylight hour of every sunny day. As desert Clays are mostly days of sunshine, in from 121% Eo '5 years tour glassware is colored to a deep purple or rich amber hue, lit is now ready for sale and there are !plenty ,df buyers at. comparatively fancy prices. IA pair of sun -coloured 'candlesticks purchased for 60 cents has been sold 'for $1115 after 2"/- years in the sun, ,A set that cost $?,50 'brought 0 after, '3 years -of sun -coloring, A sugar - bowl bought in a dime store in i19130 brought $1110 ,os a beautiful put'plc sun -coloured article late in 1.19133. In- numerable other examples of similar' profits aright .be cited, ranging from 200 to 116,000 per cent, accruing to desert dwellers from small in•vest- aoents ,in ordinary transparent glass- ware, 1-ittle effort, ,and from 21% to 15 years time, The phenomenon that changes the color of very !plain arti- cles of transparent +glasswlare into something beautiful and of value has been studied and - explained by ex- perts,'The desert glare is rich in ultra violet light -and.when' ordinary trans- parent -glees is su',b!i'ected to ;prolong- ed bombardment by such rays, a 'change in •the molecular composition Dust Causes Asthma, Even a little speck too small to -see will lead to a- gonies which no words can describe.
