Ruth waked that maiming with a feeling that something lovely was hap }~ening, and it was. The raindrops were"pattering on the window, play- ing laying tag and leapfrog as they scurried down to say, "How do you do?" to the sleepy flowers. ,Ruth dressed like .a whirlwind and ran down to remind her mother that it was raining -and, best of till, it was Saturday! "So may I telephone Louise to come over and spend the day, mother?" she asked eagerly. ".Ana may we have Luncheon in the playroom and open the rainy -day box?" "Yes -three yes -es," said her moth- er, laughing, "But, first let's calm down enough to enjoy a good break- fast." -• A few blocks away Louise' was so delighted with the weather and the day of the week that if anyone had asked her what she'gte for breakfast she would probably have replied, "Autumn rain -and tea at Ruth's." It was -great' fun to run' along with the raindrops pelting her umbrella and blowing in slyly underneath. Rosy and ; laughing, she reached Ruth's home and slipped from her dripping raincoat like a gay butterfly ,from a snug cocoon. "Mother thought of the rainy -day box first," Ruth told her guest, as she led the. way to.the big playroom, which was cosy with rag rugs and nursery pictures on the walls. .."Uncle John is a carpenter, you know, and he built my beautiful box for me, just here under the windows." Louise exclaimed over the new win- dow seat, which was piled with pretty cushions, making\ a real cosy corner, where one could enjoy a storybook or look down into the great maples. "Now we'll pile the cushions into this chair and open the box!" cried Ruth, merrily. It's a heavy lid, but to- gether --there! • See my rainy -day things?" , - With little giggles and cries of de- light the girls,bent over the treasure box, and with quick fingers brought out anythiing they chose. In one cor- ner were old magazines, picture books, blunt scissors and tubes of paste. There were many paper dolls, a set of flowered dishes,-evee tiny glasses with a water pitcher, -and, a little blue Japanese luncheon cloth and nap - loins. In another corner were folded two quaint old gowns and some old- fashioned bonnets, which were grand- ma's contribution. to Ruth's new box.

But the best game was to come; they had saved it fox' the last, just as ,they had. saved the fattest cooky. When the little clock struck three, they put away their books and paper dolls; the scissors,' the paste and all the ether things in the box. There was only an hour left, and they quick- ly "dressed up.'' Then, as Mrs. Morn- ing „Glory, and Mee, Wild Rose, they lived in opposite corners of the rQorn and called on each other, taking along large, well-behaved families of chil- deen. Some. of the Morning Glory and Wild' Rose children were unbreakable, eeme merely of rags; the youngest were of celluloid. or rubber. "0 dear!" sighed Louise, as she made' ready to o out into the wet, gray twilight. 'Why are rainy days three times as short as others?" Ruth eyed the little clock with a frown, as if she rather blamed it for giving wings'to the hours. "Well, there's one good thing," she said happily. "Grandma is a fine weather prophet, and she thinks it is going to be a wet Autumn." About the first thing some folks do when they ge to buy a horse is to hitch him up to a carriage andtake him down the road for. a -spin. The main thing seems to be, "Can be trot a blue streak?" . Lots more common sense in testing the animal at the plow, on the mower, at good, honest farm work. Horses need wider and more ex- clusive stalls than cows. Enough width is necessary that the horse can lie down and stretch his legs, but not enough to allow him to roll and tear down the stall. The natural method of avoiding dry, contracted hoofs is to place the horse on a good rich pasture after a heavy rain. Unfortunately it le frequent- ly not practical to give a horse free. range according toweather conditions. The best substitute for nature's own provision is to stand the horse in a strongly. built trough of water or in a clay puddle from two to four hours once a month.' - Give the team a pail of water in, the "riddle of the forenoon and after- noon when doing the fall plowing. Water refreshes the horses as well as the man. As far as the light -legged horse is concerned, he is practically doomed. The motor car has taken his place. For a nurnber of years the heavy horse will be in demand. • He is keen- ly in demand at the present time. The, Shrewmouse. • The smallest mammal in the British Isles is the shrewmouse. This is not only the smallest Britili mammal, but, with the exception of one other of the same genus, the smallest in Europe. The harvest_ mouse is somethnes thought to be even smaller, but the length of its head and body is often two and a half inches, while that of the lesser shrew is rarely more than two inches. The tail measures about one and a third inches, and its teeth are so extremely shall that: a. lens is required to detect them. Lemons will keep fresh if stowed in dry sand separately.

There is a regular apparatus' that comes for this purpose, but you may improvise your own otitfit and accomplish suc- cessful results. First and foremost a mother must realize that every dish, spoon, bottle and utensil that is used in preparing the baby's food must be absolutely clean, surgically clean, if you will. To accomplish this it is necessary to use plenty of • boiling Water. , Fill, the milk into sterilized bottles. Stop the top wellwith absorbent cot- ton and put in a kettle deep enough to hold the bottles. The kettle should be two inches deeper than the bottles. Fill the kettle three-quarters full .01 cold water and stand a .thermometer alongside of the milk bottles. Put over the flame to heat it. Heat until the thermometer registers 167 degrees Fahrenheit, then turn the flame low, so that you can maintain this tempera- ture for half an hour. Remove from the fire and cool rapidly, taking care that the bottles d0 not break. The kettle should be kept for this purpose alone, and it will greatly facilitate the work of preparing baby's meals if all the utensils, bottles, etc., are kept in a place of their own; away from other household utensils. If baby is restless, feverish and ap- pears unwell, call a physician. If necessary, cheerfully neglect the household duties to give baby the necessary care.

'such pat - lents are hard to control; they are very prone` to do as they please as soon as they get beyond the doctor's observation. Every diabetic must be under a doctor's constant care. Each must be treated according to his own peculiar constitution. Worry, excess, great exertion, exposure muse in all cases be avoided. Tea, coffee, and, in- deed, all food must be sweetened with, saccharin (to be had in 100 tablet bottles of the druggist) instead of sugar. The bowels must move once a day. There are medicines appropriate to the in- dividual case which the family doctor must prescribe, And the diabetic dietary must be faithfully adhered to.

Twenty - The age of service varied at different periods (Num. 4. 3; 8.'23-26; I Chron. 23. 27). Since only .a small number of Levites returned a relatively low minimum age 17x3 to be fixed, 9. the general thought of verse 9 seems to be that the Levites accepted their appointment, but the present text is so corrupt that the details are more or less uncertain. 10-13.

"When a prisoner arrives in a camp, he is immediately assigned to any work required, irrespective of per- sonal attainments, and may be em- ployed in mines, farms or factories. The kommandos, or workmen's quar- ters, are worse than the camps. "The harshest methods are em- ployed to make the meri work, the least harsh being deprivation of food. In some factories prisoners unwilling to work for the Huns are placed in hot rooms until they submit. Blows with the flat side of sabres or bayonets are too frequent to merit attention.

On this basis some farmers could. 'keep two "more cows or ten more sheep with no more general expense to the farm: if they dispensed with their clogs, as it only costs about $60 or $70 to feed a good cow, and five sheep can be kept on the same amount of food as one cow. The neighbors' sheep wo'a1d be safer, too. If you feed your lambs by the thimbleful you can not expect to get money from them by the peck measureful. When running un fall pasture it takes from two to three bushels of corn per hundred head when on full ration. porno method of marking the ewes when bred is advisable. A simple method is to mark the ewes with paint, making one mark on the shoulders of ewes bred the first week, two marks for those of the second wee.:, etc. As the lambing time approaches, the ewes may be separated and placed in suitable quarters. Where the ram runs with the ewes a good scheme is to paint his breast each day and separ- ate the ewes ae soon as they show paint on their fleeces. The color of paint can be changed every ten days, and the herdsman can tell how sure the ram is. Is Your Chimney Safe? Defective chimneys are the greatest single source of fires. The investiga- tion being conducted by the Commis- sion of Conservation discloses the fact that, for the year 1916, of the places reporting, no less than 640 fires were due to faulty chimneys. This is ex- clusive of fires resulting from danger- ous stovepipes or chimney sparks. Before winter weather necessitates pressure upon the heating apparatus, the householder should carefully in- spect all chimneys, as well as stove and furnace pipes, and have them put in good condition. Rarely, if ever, does the occupant of a house make an examination of the chimney where it passes through the attic. Yet, this portion of the building is probably the source of the great majority of fires which start from defective chimneys. Changes in weather conditions and vi- bration have a deleterious effect upon the mortar in the brickwork, causing it to disintegrate and leaving open- ings through which sparks may read- ily pass. • Conducted by Professor Henry G.
