Now that the task of fixing school lunches is in full swing, the children are insisting on home-made cookies. There are a hundred and one different varieties of cookies, crackers and wafers to he bought at, the grocery stores these days, and at first thought It would seem foolish for the busy farm woman to use her precious time to make the crisp home-made dainties, but there is a difference in the taste, and in this difference lies the charm of the '`cookies like Mother used to make." The school lunch seems in- complete without them, and nothing quite takes the place of them. They are easy to snake and convenient to serve for light refreshments when the Women's Institute meets. how it feels to be brought up like th•s by the small son or daughter, and if we are wise we do not too soon forget. Truth to tell, there is no great gulf fixed between 'us and the children; they are men and women in very small editions, and what we enjoy or dislike is apt to affect the children in the) same way, If we do not enjoy orders, we cannot reasonably expect the chil- dren to do so. "Let's see if you can do this," holds a challenge and an opportunity to show off that is almost invariably ac- cepted cheerfully by little. folks. And whatever their motive, the children acquire a habit of cheerful obedience that is of great value. "Help mother do this, will you,. please?" has a note of companionship wholly lacking in an order to "come The modern cook should know that t„ -_ ., the cookies are much' better if the are going to have time for a story dough is thoroughly chilled before we'lI have to hustle and set this room a using; this Ieaves the butter hard and in order," adds joy and anticipation so does not require so much flour.

DOMINION'S HISTORY IMPORTANT EVENT IN _29 The quiet, picturesque little town of Piotou, situated on the southern extremity of the Northumberland Straits in the province of Nova Sco- tia, has lately been the Mecca for thousands of visitors from all parts of Canada and the United States on the occaaion of the 150th annlvsrsary of the arrival of the "Hector" from Scotland. This little vessel, with its little band of Scottish immigrants, in- augurated the first real and perma- nent settlement of the Province of Nova Scotia, and descendants of these first settlers have flocked there from all corners of the continent, swelling the Iittle town to many tinges ,its normal population, filling to capacity the tent city erected for their accom- modation, and 'generally evidencing ., that undying love' of the old province which prevails in the hearts of sons and daughters who for various rea- sons have left their old homes. The sufferings and privations c the arrivals on the "Hector" are di scribed as being more severe th those undergone by any other tiers; Eighteen died on the pe and others reached the nor: new world only to find a the beach. Those who au utterly destitute, They had camps to shelter themse. families during ` the winter, a procure food, had to proceed to Truro ' _ through a trackless forest and in deep snow, and there obtaining a bushel or two of potatoes, and sometimes a lit- tle flour, had to return carrying their small supplies, on their backs, or drag then in hand sleighs over the deep snow. The descendants of these hardy Scottish immigrants who pioneered,• British settlement In Nova Scotia are now to be found 1n every section of the American continent, They have in turn pioneered many sections of the United States and the Canadian .a West, and still later generations, pro- fiting from the fruits of their fore- bears, have attained eminence in many phases of the life of the con- tinent. This was clearly evidenced in the notable aggregation which gathered at Pictou to watch the old "Hector" sail out again into the stream and to celebrate the arrival of that first hardy band of pioneers which played a not unimportant part in the early development of Canada. Nova Scotia has an intimate and most vital connection with the early history of Canada, and as such is of paramount Interest to visitors and students. Tt is a veritable mine of romance and history, English, French and American, Nova Scotia claims, in Annapolis Royal, the oldest town In Canada. Here also was construct- ed and launched the first vessel known to have been built in America —here was built the first mill in Canada. Every point has Its historical and romantic associations, making the land peculiarly attractive and appeal- ing to the discriminating holiday- maker, Ivfore and more eacationists .each year are discovering It, and the great beauty of the Maritime province is becoming an increasingly valuable asset. About *5,000,000 is left an • neatly by visitors to the Annapolis Valley and Western Nova Scotia from the United States, end such traffic has been developed with practically no effort on Nova Scotia's part. Many of these visitors are the descendants of the original pioneers of tho pro- vince who have permeated the eontl- neat, but who still have an attach- ment to the old home and wander back periodically, as on the occasion of the anniversary of the arrival of the "Hector" with its first band of Scottish immigrants. A Fallen Planet? Astronomers have long known that between the orbits of Mare and Juin.- ter a large number of tiny planetary bodies revolve sound the sun. Some of these have a circumferenee of but a few miles. In addition, there are countless bil- lions of what might be called meteoric stones hurtling round the sun. These are constantly entering the earth's at- mosphere and being burnt up by the friction much more completely than the moth that flies' into the candle flame. Has one of the small planets ever entered our atmosphere and landed on the earth without being entirely con- sumed? If it ever did, It was long ages before nam appeared . upon the earth, for the impact of such an out- sider would cruse an earthquake in- deed. Ilowever, in Arizona there is a curi- ous eminence called Coon Butte which rises about 150ft. above the plain. At the top is a depression or crater 4,000- f.t. wide and about 160 ft. deep. Scat- tered far and wide around this hill are fragmente resembling meteoric iron which contain microscopic; diamonds' and many curiously -shaped boulders, it Is suggested that this hill was formed by the impact of a gigantic, body from the outside, and mining operations are to be started: ,with :a view to discovering Whether the theory has any foundation in fact.
