in London.to spend a brief holiday, a

her -mother, Mrs, i.'eter Macdonald,
in South London.
"rye never had time to develop a
method, of work," said Miss McDon-
aid,. "So many things to be done,so
many cases to be handled seem to
just flop down on my doorsteps and I
go right at them, doing the job that
lies nearest, without refereiice to any
particular method."
If all lack of method resulted as
Miss Macdonald's is doing, the sys-
tem would be, worth general adoption.
Working under a board of influential
Japanese citizens, the Canadian wo-
mali ie a member, the only non- Jap-
anese member, of a trustee board• of
to, under whose direct manag-ement
the important social service work is
carried forward by Miss Maddonald
and her co-workers, all Japanese.
A recent most interesting develop-
ment, which has received Government
recogeition, is- the . establishment of
a night school for factory girls in the
city of Tokyo. A young Japanese girl
of 23 is the head of the school, and
teachers from city day schools give
volunteer services in a course of
study that is equivalent of first year
high school, certificates for which re-
ceive the sathe credit.
Much of Miss Macdonald's work is
prison visiting. Prison reform, inter-
preted by this brilliant Canadian wo-
man who has devoted her exception-
al talents to the service of the pee -
pie of Japan, is "prisoner's reform,"
"There are just twe kiads of people,
you know," Miss Macdonald quoted
cheerfully, "those who are ,M prison
and those who ought to be." She docs
not admit this wholesome statement
to be true, but she is chiefly interested
in the people who are in prison'and
who are to conic out again to face a
critical and, largely, anwelcdming
world, To stand by these people un-
til they have made a place for them-
selves among the reputable citizens
of the community is her chief mission,
And although one does not hear it
from Caroline Macdonald herself,
there are ninny stories of the splendid
results achieved among those whom
the world .Was ready to accept only
as criminalsstories that are epics of
achievement and success.
After tlee big quake Miss IVIacdon-
aid and her fellow workers set about
tu find adequate housing for their
vork, and the present capacious resi-
dence, which is much too interesting
o be dubbed, merely a settlement
louse, has been entirely paid for by
apanese contributions including $15,-
oo from the government. Miss Mee-
donald is rettuming to Japan at the
end of January.
-RAN FORK IN LEG
Mr. Russel Riley, of Mornington,
recently met with a rather painful
accident which has kept him confined
to the house for some daYs. He was
ascending the ladder of the silo, fork
in hand, when the ice on one of the
rounds brokeoff letting him fall with
the result that one of the tines of
the fork pierbed the calf of his leg to
a considerable depth.

WE HUMANS
We sat at the hotel, waiting for the
waitress to bring our dinner.
"You know,' said he, "I hope some
day to be rich foe just one reason:
Then I can do so much good in the
world."
Just then the dinner was seracel.
He• looked at his steak and grumbled.
"Waitress," he shouted, told yeu
I wanted it well done—take it back."
She toole•it back.'
He wanted another eoup af coffee,
and impatiently beat a tattoo with the
end of his knife upon the table to get
the• girl's " attention.
"Can't I get any service?" he said,
as she hurried. up from serv' ing- a tab-
le nearby.
And so it went through the meal,
not a kind word, that would have
helped out a hard-working girl in a
job that is liana at its' best Not a
kind word, though he could have
done so much good in the world,
vvithout being rich.
We humans—aren't ve a queer lot?

UNIQUE ALPHABET EGG
The recent years have brought into
the land of beingi the well-known
"Alphabet Soup" the boon of the rest-
aurants and cafes and the delight of
soup -eaters throughout the entire
North American continent, to say leo-
thing, =perhaps, of Europe, England,
Ireland, Scotland and Czecho-Slovakia
Alphabet soup is the product of the
new generation of man. To light has
just been brought -an entirely new
food, however-- "Alphabet ''Eggs."
True, the eggs are not the direct pro-
duct of modern man, but modern man
has much to, do with the welfare of
the hen which actually produces the
newest of all foods, the alphabet egg.
Wingham is the birthplace of the
new product and a pullet of some
'eight Months' of age is the producer,
This particular pullet has presented
its owner with an egg on the shell of
which is marked numerous letters of
the alphabet, to say nothing of num-
erals. The lethering's are inscribed in-
delibly in the shell; but in no- way
marks the interior of the egg.
It is a wonder of modern manufac-
