WHEN THE CHILDREN' HELP.
"1 never did see such helpful chil-

acquaintance 'to another. "I chanced
in thee this morning, and I wish you
night have seen what they were each
doing to help with the work. Mrs
Blake says she -never could get along
if they did not all help her,. and she
told me of astonishing things they
do."
"I expect that 1s why they do so
much," smiled the other. -
"How do you mean?"
"Why, they do things because their
mother allows them to do them and
expresses her appreciation. I think
nearly all little children like to help
until they are discouraged by their
alders.
"1 remember calling on Mrs. Blake
when Laura was a tiny child. Laura
had spent a strenuous hour or more
in an attempt at making her mother's
bed. 'Come and see how nicely Laura
has made my bed,' her mother in-
vited. And the child's little face
radiated joy and satisfaction. I've al-
ways remembered it, because it so
forcibly reminded me of a time when
I had puffed and reached and labored
to surprise my mother by making her

for the bucket:

"After her notable maiden effort
Laura often stood at one side of the
bed to help mother with the malting.
And by the time she could properly
reach she could make a bed correctly
and neatly.

MAKE SALMON PATTIES FOR
SUPPER.
My family is very fond of salmon
patties, and this is how I make them.
Flake one can of salmon with a fork
and, add two eggg'beaten light, two
tablespoonfuls flour, two tablespoon-
fuls of sweet cream (milk and a little
butter may be used), two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, salt and pepperto
taste. Mix all together and drop in
spoonfuls on buttered frying pan;
brown and turn, . One' can use the
cheaper grades of salmon very well
when it served in this way.—Mrs.

A SIMPLE PATCH BAG. '
Hem a large square of denim, cre-
tonne, or other strong material and
attach to each of the four comers a
metal or ivory ring. These rings can
be bought for a few cents at, notion
counters of dry -goods stores. Slip all
the rings on a handy hook or nail in
the sewing room or wherever the fam-
ily mending is to be done. It is well
to fasten a big safety pin oa the out-
side of the bag and slip into it a
sample of all kinds of materials which
the bag contains. By laying the bag
out flat it is easy to find the exact
bundle of patches wanted.

Song.
My heart is a thorny -bush
In an old garden close;
My song peeps over the wall.
And nods like a single rose.
My heart it a smothered fire,
Sick of a blunted aim;
My sang is a leap to the light,
My song is a tip of flame.
My heart is a bitter sea,
A tossing, a restless grave;
My song is the sunny foam
That flies from the crested wave.
The rose pnd the flame and the foam
Shine for the world to see;
The urge and the smoke and the thorn
Nobody knows but me!

Undaunted'; by Difficulties.
Insptred by a iicterindnaition to make
an end of this'arpperently unlimited
succession of human misery, a young
Toronto physician; Dr, Baiting, get to
work an a faint clue' to the cure of
1015 devastating disease. Ile made..the

versity of 'Toronto, with its wealth of
ecienstific,equipment, his headquarters,
following up the duo with that youth -Irl
fur zeal which, tempered' with; scien-
tifie caution, accomplishes great', '
things.
But there were formidable technical
difficulties to bo overcome. It had.
long been known that the cause of the
exoess of sugar in the blood (the es-
siontial feature of diabetes) was failure
on the part of the pancn'eas; a jade ab-
domi9a.;gland, to produce a eager-am
ing arce, which prevents the blood
from being flooded with; sugar, This
Satiate was caused by destruction of
the pancreatic cells which should pan-
duce this juice. the obvious thing to
do then was to obtain the .pancreatic
j, say a sheep and use that as a
smbsnlcetloftue.
The Toratn'to scientist attempted to
pmepas'e extracts of sugar -storing juice
frons. the -sweetbreads of sheep and
other animals. These ,extracts had to
be made from ctrtain little groups of
cells, known as "islands," in the sweet-
breaads. But unfortunately these ex-
tracts were always destroyed by .the
digestive juices produced by other por-
tions at the sweetbread.
Nothing daunted, our determined
discoverer found that the active ex-
tract of which he wags in quest oouid
be :obtained from the sweetbreads of
very young animals, before the cf ids
had started producing the juices which
had. alwaye previously destroyed it.
Vanished Terrors,
With this extract the doctor treated
one patient after another, and was at
last able to demonstrate that, given

ing sugar or starch, the sugar in the
blood was reduesst rimmed to normal,
the other symptoms abated, and ;'e-
covery was speeded up.. ide had rob-

a large scale have now been overcome,
and the pteduct of entirely British
