NOTES AND COMMENTS The arrogance of the man , who arises to the minor heroism of a cold bath has been complained of by Lessheroic folk who arise to .a tepid or warm. one. To be set apart by the ability to stand the shock of Hold water ;has seemed to less vigor- , one f:Jlk an unaulbstantial claim to ammortallty. It lacks moral suf- ficiencv'and £s too much made of by the cold bather. Another arro- @;ance is given consideration by the I ttev. Walter Dwight. It is the ar- kogance of early risers. Mr. Dwight denies them heroism and enters into tLoubt as to their intelligence. As I a rube he finds them a "notably ar- i'eogant set," .annearing to believe What they move on 'a "higher ;plane." Every normal human being, not '- given ordinarily to early rising but 'on occasion tempted or forced into it, has felt the strange spiritual af- flatus, the moral patting on the back in consecuenoe thereof. The feeling that a good deed has been done for a Naughty world is inex- plicable, but supreme. Mr. Dwight is remorseless. The early riser is the least intelligent of mankind.

Eimmizmorimumgm Send. for the Ed- wardsburg Free Re- cipe Book. statistics, gathered by careful in- vestigators, show that the lower a people is in the scale of civilization the earlier they get up. Euro:peans, for example, rise later than the na- tives of Asia ; the red Indian is up before the yellow Lorean; the Zulu's passion for early rising is renowned, while the clepravedP•ata- gonian, travelers report, doers not go to bed at :all. In the case also of nations, classes, and individuals, their hour of rising has proved a remark -ably accurate index of their culture and refinement. The Bava- rian, for instance, gets up later than the Prussian, the Parisian later than the Londoner, the towns- man than the villager, the actor than the postman, and Polly has to rise long before Muriel. Indeed, unless it is practised from high spiritual motives, a chronic addic- tion to early rising is generally the mark of intellectual barbarism or of industrial servitude. Early ris- ers, therefore, have little reason for boasting." They have little reason, indeed, but any one who may be able to ex- plain w'hy a person arising ;by ordi- nary habit .at 7.30 and finding him- self up by explicable or inexplic- able circumstance at 4.30 should feel that his spirituality has been enhanced .and his worth increased will have an understanding of that little. It may be that the purity of the early morning transplants itself into his cousciousness, but if that be so why then should a, man ,arriv- ing at sun up to seek his bed be at the other end of the spiritualworld from the man getting up from his at the same hour? In early rising there is a smug 'consciousness. of right doing that is not easily ex- plained.. Many a man would starve if he had nothing to live on but his repu- tation.

When Jack Frost comes to Kitty - kin Land, and the snow lies white on Big Blue Hill, the Kittykins bring out their newly -painted sleds and race each other to the Coasting Road. One of the "remembering les- sons" in Kittykin Land is to help those in trouble, and surely no Kitts -kin ever .seemed born to help anyone out of trouble so kindler and quickly as Little Grayaid. Old Feather Owl taught her the Three Wisest Ways when she was very young. There are many help- ful rules that ha; a been known in the Owl family for ages; but the Owls never ,seemed wise enough to use them. Grayaidhas taken the whole course of What -to-do Lessons, and the How -to -do -it Course as well. She knows just when the fresh car- rots and cabbages are good for lit- tle rabbits. The day that Brown Rabbit Iuirt his paw, in trying to climb a tall tree, be would have had a very sorry time but for httle Grayaid. She ,soothed his hurt little feelings, and helped him walk home to his home on Three Pine Hill. Grayaid tied him up most com- fortingly in bandages, and made him a refreshing vegetable salad. which put him to sleep. • Another blessing in ICittyland is Helping Witch. who lives near Opal Pool.

Dark rings appear guider her eyes, the lines about her• mouth and forehead deepen and lengthen, the eyes become sunken, the face drawn and the complexion sallow. The trouble is nervousness, and if the .strain is not relieved and the nerves properly nourished, nervonss collapse and years of sickness may easily follow. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People will save you from this dreadful affliction. These Pills make the new, rich blood that nourishes and tones the nerves and banishes every trace of nelveus- ness. Mrs. Margaret Donley, Am- herst, N.S., says: '+I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pill's saved me from the grave. I was taken down with nervous pro•sti ation, and for months was unable to walk. I slowly recovered until I was able to go about, but there the improve- ment ended. I was getting weaker adea w keruntil I could justet frene. the bed to a couch. The least .noise would set me trembling all over, and often when I went to the table I would leave it hungry and yet unable to eat. Sometimes I was taken with smothering spells and felt as if I 'was going to die. At other times I would be so nervous that I could not hold anything in my hands. I was doctoring all the time, bat without benefit, and final - 1 made up my inind 1 would try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

It made straight for the cliff, and when it reached the edge, made a sharp swerve, and drove right into us. As it swung round from cer- tain death, we lost sight of the rider, and, to our horror we saw the saddle go over the cliff. "Good heavens, he's over!" we cried. We slipped off our .horses and ran to the spot, expecting to see the batt.ered form of our friend lying at the bottom of the cliff. We crawl- ed out on hands and knees, • but could see no trace of him, except the saddle, caught on a. projecting rock .about ten feet below. "What's the matter ? Who are you looking for 1" asked a trem- bling voice behind us. It was our friend Charlton. We were looking for his mangled body, and here he was beside us, as white as a sheet, and rubbing his right shoulder pretty vigorously. "Gee, that was a close shave ! What happened?" "The girth snapped just as the brute swerved at the edge. He pitched me -to the ground in a small ditch, and threw the saddle the other way, over the cliff." Charlton looked badly scared. as well he might. Heel not the saddle given way as it did, horse and rider would eertainly have gone over. F WON'T MIX Bad• Food and Good Health Won't 19Iix.

If you watch a school of minnows in some stream that has a strong and swift current. you will see that they always head upstre.aan. The reason is plain. Only by constantly swimming against the current caa. the brook fish remain a brook fish, and not finally be carried out to sea, as the brook empties into a river, and the river empties into the ocean. But we oa.nnot suppose that the brook fish knows that this will happen if it weakly allows the stream to carry it along. The young minnow is born with the instinct to resist the flow of the brook. The most natural supposition would be that the instinct amounts to a tendency to push .against the • pressure of the water ; but experi m:ents have shown that it is not the sense of touch, but the sense of sight that plays the important part; The instinct of the brook fish is not' to 'swim .against the current, but to keep near the same "scenery" on the banks or bottom of the stream. The experiments that proved this were performed ,same years ago by" Prof. E. P. Lyon. • He put cone little fish into a bottle .filled with water, ,and corked the bottle, which he then placed in an aquarium, whose sides had seaweed upon therm. When he moved the bottle along by the wall, all the fish crowded to the hinder end of, the bottle. 0'f course, there was no current in the bottle. The fish were -trying to keep alongside that part of the, seaweed - covered wall' that was opposite them before the bottle was moved. In another .experiments the pro- fessor reversed .the conditions. He made ,a wooden box With wire net- ting at each end. Its bottom he , covered with sand and its inner sides with !seaweed. Then he put the fish into this box, .and placed it in a.stream. As long els the box was kept still, the fish headed against the current, but as soon as the box was allowed to float away in the stream, the fish inside it swam in any direction., While the box was. stela, the fish., uniea. they • made head against the stream, were carried along past their landmarks on the sides and bottom of the box. But when the box floated along with thein, they carried their landmarks . with them, and so diem made no opposition to being swept ,along by the stream. OM alalia Lieu' ,athax ointe< snd.
