A pupil should be treated as though e he were the only member, for the time being, in the teacher's circle. ' He should be welcomed with a cheery re- mark or coLmLment on some local, cur- rent toee°.. Every. inoment ,oaf the Les- con. time should be spent in full •eon oentra'tiell OU his work, Pradsie•shoukl; be given where praise le dee in pre- ference to dasooumagdng censure for ,things undone. Allowances should be nese;e for nervousness and •for the dif-' ference in touch between the teacher's piano and that on idol the pupil hes been pr's!:tieing. By eleminatigg "nag- ging" and indifference the mnsde lesson cam be made one of the begat and plea- santest hours in the pupil's week. A vital interest in: tine pupil's - prat- tice • and progress can be maintained by having him keep a mote -book. As the plays his lesson for the week or re- peats . what theory he . has learned, co'nunent :can be made, in a -nate-book and the next step briefly outlined, such, as "Study No. 3 'needs more care in the Sart phrase. Practice slowly, separate hands," and so forth. Under- neath these instructions, lines can be drawn for date, time and minutes of daily p actiee. The pupil wiLl -clearly realize that the book is for daily use, and will -seldom fail to bring his book showing the dltecthins carried out. Also by referring to weeks gone by and Compal^ing notes With later enta-los, he le more able to gauge his own ad- vancement and will toy to make his note -book a ylalble record of steady progress. The Master's Talk. You talk of "w•orldng to get your living," and "cluing some real good in •'the world," in the same £breat'h. Now you may be getting a very good living in it profession, and yet doing no good. at all, in the world, but quite the eon - teary, at the same time.

Source—A given name, - Tlbere are Scottish as well as Irish examples of this family name and its variations, derived from - tli'e given name "Dubh," founded on the Gaelic word ter "black" or "very dark," or its varietiens and oompounde. Thee article, however, is couirned to the Irish origin ot the family name, through the eelclan of e'O'Duibhe," which, strange as it may seem to the person unacquainted with Gaelic, is, not pronounced se though It . were "O'Dulse" or "O'Dubb," but "O'Duffy." The form of Duffy, `therefore, is a quite acceptable Anglicized version of the name, and Duff eerves as well as 0: shottened form. There Was a natural tendency, how- ever, in theiirst rendering of many of these Irish names to give then a spell- ing similar to some English word that they sounded something lilea. Hence the, rather arbitrary and otherwise meaningless selection in some casm of Dove, The fainly. name ,of Dave in Ireland som•etineers comes from the clan naive founded on the given name which meant "dove," and as you see here, sometimes from that which sounds a bit like "dove" but has no connection -with the hnew•ing of that word. The "O'Duibhe" clan was founded by a chieftain who was a descendant, through fourteen generations, from the High -King "Cattail Moi." There is no other way of estimating the date of tis elan's origin than from the fact that this. Cathay the Great yved in 109 A.D. • • eee Cropper. Racial Origin—English. Source—An occupaion.

The baby rabbits were turned out into the cruel world by their mother, and the children of the Lines family fed them by using a baby's feeding bottle. Then Shep took charge of them and eachnight cuddled them into his warm furtolet them sleep in comfort, Dur- ing the day he lies in the sun and lets them play around his feet—and if one shows signs of straying; reaches'. out a paw to scoop it back to safety. —Canadian National Railways Photo- graph.

Sneezing?—Use Minard's Liniment. Should Enrich Their -Blood by Using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. There are conditions of health in which no particular. organ appears to be at fault, yet the patient is miser- able and unable to pursue the activi- ties of -daily life with vigor and en- joyment. The remedy needed is a medicine that will benefit the whole system rather than a part. The blood reaches every part of the body and an improvement in its quality is quick- ly followed by an improvement in the. whole systema Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make a ,prompt and visible improve-' merit in the blood, and bring new health and strength, to' ailing people. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this find is proved by the following statement: Mrs. 1�'. F. Nash, R. R. No. 1, Bellamy; Ont., writing on behalf of her husband,says: "Forthe past two' summers my bnsband has taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with much success. He was in a weak con- dition, did not sleep well at night, tired all the time, with poor appetite. The result was he got very thin. Ile de- cided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and by the time he had taken three boxes 11e was' feeling and looking so much better that it was very notice- able" that the pills were all they were recommended to be. We feel very grateful and advise the use of the pills in all cases of weakness." These pills may be had from all dealers in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 500: a box from The Dr, Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., t Slipping' I to I9i1 hn Day. g At first it seemed strange that I should see the =rein the old flapping coat on the rising bit of roadway out- ettle any window every morning, al- ways exactly the same, always in the very middle' of the road, always walk- ing away frdln me: so that I never• -saw his face, always moving with s slow, swinging gait as if he were to no hur- ry to quit the valley, his faint shadow following him like a pale widespread sail cast over a gray sea, Ind rocking with the wind. els was as early as the lark, for hardly a morning passed without one brown bird hopping to the topmost twig of the hedge and pausing there for a moment before rising into the morning sky; he was ahead of :the sun, for the dawn was still but a trespasser beyond the horizon, tlmed'ly feeling at the gates of day; he was ahead of sound—save for the larle's high song —and the clog -clatter of his boots foil back to the valley and sent a little rabbit head foremost into Its hole. It was not until several mornings had brought the dark coat into view that I began to wonder about thea stranger, wonder where he came from and why, since I did not rise precisely at. the same moment each day, he -was always dere when I opened my shut- tere—always just there,' passing from the .shadows of the low country into the dawn. And then, one horning, I stood and watched him until Ire had reached, 'tile spot where the road dips down again -moving so leisurely, so appar- ently, oblivious to all ermine, just go- ng 011 and'.tlp and cut into the light, At the top of the rising_: a swift shaft f brilliant gold shone fall upon bim.

In the London elementary schools' over one thousand new. teachers aro appointed each year. The Gospel of Comfort. The'iourees of joy are many. They are rooted in all of our leve souses, and ministered to by countless obects of beauty and harmony in the, world without. For them the seven colors of the spe'htrum blend and change in never ending variation. For therm the seven' notes of the octave find express soon in untutored nature and in the gifts of skilled musicians. Sight and sound and touch and taete and per- fume all open gateways to the home of joy within the mind of man. But the sources of comfort are few. There are not many ways in which consolation makes its approach to human life. And all men need com- fort. Bright as is .the world, the very shining of Ite shin produces shadows, and the stalk that bears Loses gives bleeding fingers to him who plucks them. He who never needs comfort meet die young. No life continues long without au experienceof sorrow. And When sorrow comes, then comes' also the discovery that, while the sources of comfort are not many, they are adequate and precious, First ilst is the comfort of happy mem- ory. No grief or misfortune can take away the joys that have entered per menently. into our character. Then, in time of need, is found the comfort of work, and of the friendship that remains. There is always some one stili who needs us and whom we need. Whatever our losses, we have never yet lost all. Then we discover the comfort of '.sympathy. lt' has been said a thous- and, or perhaps a million, times that "mere words+' cannot assuage grief, and every time it is said untruthfully. Words that are fitly spoken, out of a sincere heart and a kindred experi- ence, are among the most precious, as. they are among the most costly, of all comforts. "Tho word we had not sense to speak, Who knows how grandly it had rung?" But the basis of all abiding comfort is faith in a loving and fatherly God. For this there can be 'uo substitute, and nothing can take away the strength which it gives, "Lord, show us the leather, and it suf iceth ue," said the disciples in the hour of their bewilderment and grief. Faith in a loving God, the God of all comfort, is the basis of all reasonable consolation. And the world needs it all the time. The Ground of Certainty. It is told of one in ancient days that once in conversing with his friends on the question of the immortality of the soul, which they were all fain to be- lieve, he confessed that, while he was 'reading Plato's noble argument, he joyfully assented :ter it, but always when he laid .the book aside "his per- suaslou slipped away and he was vexed anew with chill uncertainty. And that experience is universal. The beet of human arguments is unavail• ing; but it is the end of a31 the doubt and disquietude of our eoule .when we know Jesus, not merely as one who dwelt hese long age, but as the living Saviour abiding with us, acoordeng to His •proantse, and manifesting Himself unto us.

KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER By Regulating the Stomach and Bowels With Baby's Own Tablets. .inter is a dangerous 'season for t the little cues.
