He brought his own food with him, including a great consignment of live ducks,. Included In his food supply was a vast pile of clay cubes that look- ed like cement bricks. Actually each contained an 'egg several years old, which he esteemed a great delicacy. He was very genial and expansive to all strangers presented to him. His first query, irrespective of sex, was: "How old are yon?" and his second, "Have you any children?": SUMMER HEAT ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the summer, The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless • prompt aid ;ie at hand, the baby may. be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he IS ill. .Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum,dysentery and colic are most prevalent.

The first (a) is an overpowering passion for de- finition . a ininger for certitude and system. The second (b) is the an tistic counterpart and imaginative in- strument of the first: a prodigious mental capacity, namely, for enforcing design, for compelling 'coherence, for stamping insubstantial dream -stuff in- to shapes as clear-cut and decisive aa newly milled and minted metal discs. And the third (c), en the physical plane, is -.the manual • counterpart of these: a cunning craftsman's gift for fitting these crisp units into complek patterns, adjusting there like the works of a watch, with an exquisite ac- curacy, performing miracles of minute mechanical perfection. These are the three faculties, often bitted and strained, ;that form every- where the sinews' of his work , The rhythms run. with a snap from atop ` to stop; every • sentence is as straight as a string; each,hastits self- contained tune.

The rhythms must report them- selves promptly, prove their 'validity, start afresh after the full Stop. Lack of faith, 1f you like—but also, ie must be admitted, a marvellously unremit- ting keenness of craftsmanship. And it is the same with theoptjcalintegers as its third. Sudden scenes stud his page like inlaid stones.

Kipling's. Medal, • To Rudyard Kipling has bean award' ed the gold medal of the Royal Society of Literature, conferred first On Sir Walter Scott and later on George Meredith and Thomas Hardy. In his reply to Lord Balfour, chairman of the meeting, &Ir. Kipling has made a clear- eyed and masterful appraisal of his ancient craft in which he trues R— as he likes to—back.to the •primordial beginnings, seeing each writer in his time, in that long suocesion of the line royal, making- a bid for immortality with the power of the written word. He has always held and defended” a high concept of the writer's ditty and responsibility, `=and. he now avers that none had known what truth was till. some mom first told. a story,abotit an- other than, 'And lie assigns to litera- ture ' the place of the oldest' 01 all the arts, mother of history, biography, philosophy and politics. It 'cannot be said tbat`Kipling, great writer that he is, has always been able to realize in his own work that lofty Standard to which in doctrine and in the artist's conscience he adheres. Few would prefer his Latest short stories, with their cryptid phrases and their vague and blurred intent, to his explicit and brisk -moving earliest tales, such as "The Incarnation of Krtalina Mulvaney" or _"The .Courting of Dinah Shedd."

Poison Ivy. ' Ivy poisoning is, so prevalent 'this summer, it leads one to ask: How many people know this plapt, "the worst vegetable shin poison in Ameri- ea?" It is native to Canada and is commonly found in hedges, in dry woods, along country roads and, all too often, even in city parks. Poison Ivy Is 'a low shrub. The leaf is large, re• sembles that ofethe Virginia' Creeper but is divided into three distinct leaf- lets; Itis of a bright green color.which changes to autumnal shades. Children are quick to recognize it aid should not go where it is liable to be found until they can recognize it and : know the danger, of touching it. In the city of Hamilton the Horticul- tural Society, co-operating with the School Medical Officer, supplied a specimen of _the plant to each of the city schools; this was used for teach- ing -the children to know the plant and how to treat ivy poisoning. Cattle can eat poison ivy without any 1l1 -effects; but dogs are poisoned by 1t. Whena human being is affect- ed, it shows as an inflammation of the skin immediately or 'within a short time after coming in contact with the leaves, although some people are so susceptible that they are affected If they merely pass the plant and do not touch it. The poison San also be car- ried arried oa clothing, tools, etc. What to do: Treatment must be prompt. Hot solution of baking soda, or vinegar, or salt (4 tsp. to 1 pint) are recommended, as they are easy to get in any household. Good strong yellow laundry soap (because of the antiseptic action of the potash) is most helpful when used promptly, to wash the parts affected; it is` a wise neeaution t carr a i 0 eco 1 Y P of chis'kind of soap in your pocket when` going for a tramp In the woods, and to use it freely t In severeafer cases,anouting, apply clean cloths soaked in'hot boracaic acid, (4 tsp. to 1 pint), changing • frequently. Very severe cases should be seen by a doc- tor. _ m Keep MInard's Liniment handy. Plane to Carry Fifty Soldiors.

As a, result, the inhabitants of the neighborhood, 131 the estate Of Somersby, 'near Spilsby, in Lincoln- shire, incolnshire, are very much exercised. The reason for the excitement, how- ever, is not thefactthat Tennyson was inspired by the brook to write en immortal .poem, but that the brook contains soma of the finest trout in the country,. In the two miles of etreaiu within the estate the fishermen now are free to fish, but once the firm of London auctioneers gets hold of it and, , after them, the real estate "develop- ers," what Is going to happen to the trout? The house on the estate is the one in which Tennyson was born and where he spent his early and most im- pressionable years.
