If you have any doubts about your present boss being a man, step out here." Just why O'Grady refused the chal- lenge was known only to himseef,. Cameron waited 'a momenta Then he turned his back on the group and entered his tent. Far into the night he lay consider- ing the situation: He had taken hold with able hands; he had seen' in im- agination the completion of the road and had been thrilled by it. If only these men could discern something of the wonder andthe glory of work well done. If only they possessed am- bition. But they were worse in their way than the Mexicans. He forgot when all was said and done that sullen as they were, he could count upon a fair fight. No knife slipped. between the ribs while he slept; no shot from some apparently deserted hut. He forgot these things as he cursed them for a heterogeneous collection of scum. Out of the bitter- ness of his thoughts came the mem- ory of Stanley ` Robertson's words: "Don't drive them!" Good heavens! What would become of the road if he didn't drive? Why, water should be given betty At the first sign of diarrhoea stop all feeding, giving' as much cool; boil- ed water as the baby -will take and consult the doctor at once. The sooner the doctor sees the baby, the sooner will the baby be cured. The Bath—In addition to the baby's daily bath, it is well to give a cool sponge bath two or three times a day in hot weather. If the baby has prick- ly heat, sponge several times a day with a solution of baking soda made by dissolving a teaspoonful of baking soda in one pint of water. Clothing—The clothing should be light enough to avoid perspiration. In hot weather, a diaper, thin shirt and muslin slip are enough. In very hot weather take off all but the diaper. Flies are Enemies—Flies are ba- bies' enemies. They carry disease germs and must never be allowed near the baby nor upon anything that touches him. Use screens to keep flies out of the house, kill those that do get inand cover the carriage or crib with white 'mosquito netting. COOL DESSERTS FOR HOT DAYS. There are no simpler and yet en- tirely satisfactory desserts for sum- mer than those made with milk and rennet tablets. Most cooks think of junkets only in relation to sick people and they fail to appreciate the possi- bilities in using them in place of the puddings which take so much longer to prepare. To make a good junket, the milk should never be heated above low, blood warmth—simply take off the chill, but never heat to a steam. after every meal Cleanses mouth and Teeth and aids digestion. ftelIeVes that over- eaten feeling and acid mouth.

CLEANING SUGGESTIONS. Coat collars.—To one tablespoonful of ammonia add salt to make a paste. Spread on soiled streak of collar, let dry, then brush. off. If the collar is not thoroughly cleaned, put on a sec- ond application. Gilt frames.—Brush gilt picture frames with water in which onions have been boiled—three or four to a pint Apply liquid with soft flannel cloth and touch lightly Straw matting.—Wash the matting with clear warm water and dry at once with a soft cloth which will ab- sorb the b-sorb"the moisture and prevent colors from running.—I. M. K. SALAD HINTS. Cubes of lemon gelatine are both appetizing and economical in either a fruit or vegetable salad. Fruit juices are nice additions to salad dressing, used on fruit or gela- tine salads. , Lettuce that is intended to be eaten in a salad should be cut in ribbons with a pair of scissors. The quickest way to dry lettuce for a salad is after washing to toss it lightly in a colander and then wipe with tireae paper or paper towelling. Sour cream makes a nice, rich and economical dressing for cabbage salad. It should be flavored with cinnamon or nutmeg. All salads are nicest served ire cold: Parsley flecked with a sharp knife is the daintiest garnish for . potato salad. Grated hard boiled egg is pretty on tomato salad. Shredded cocoanut adds sweetness and richness to a fruit salad. Creamed cheese makes a good stuff- ing for peppers, tomatoes, cherries, dates and prunes used in salad. Celery salt will take the place of fresh celery to give a salad a pleas- ing flavor. The liquid from mustard pickles is good in the dressing of meat or fish salad. i To make a salmon salad from one can of fishserve more than the usual number' of people, cold cooked green peas and cucumbers they be mixed with the fish rind, also, la little of the heart of the lettuce, Cold slaw makes an appetizing stuff- ing for ice cold tomatoes.

A Poem You Ought to Know. ;•as the following poem there is no high literary merit, but it remains. pos- sibly the most complete list of ob- Qraations of the signs of coming rain in the language. It was written by Dr. Edward Jenner, the discoverer of vac- cination. The hollow winds begin to blow, The clouds • look black, the grass is. low, The soot falls down, the spaniels Bleep, The spiders from their cobwebs' peep: Last night the sun went pale to bed, The moon in Woes hides her head; The boding shepherd heaves a sigh, For see, a rainbow spans the sky. The walls are damp, the ditches smell, Closed is the pink -eyed pimpernel. Hark how the chairs andtables crack! Old Betty's joints are on the rack; Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry, The distant hills are seeming nigh. How restless -are the snorting swine, The busy flies disturb the kine; Low o'er the grass the swallow wings, The cricket, too, how sl-arp he sings; Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws, Sits wiping o'er her whisker'd jaws.

He would make the gang work if he had to thrash every one of them separately! The next morning Cameron arose determined tobring matters to a crisis. And that was the nerve -smashing' part—no crisis came. The amen toiled' on sullenly, without the vigor which would spell success, but also without the open mutiny he had hoped /or. Cameron could not knock down a workman for carrying a three-quarter shovelful of dirt instead of -a whole. one; he could only order the foreman' to see to the matter. And ten minutes later the man would go back to his three-quarter shovelful. It was nerve- racking. It was .insidious. Being at his wits' end, the young engineer doubled his bonus offer; but if this had any effect it was to retard the work. Two weeks passed and. Cameron could find no logical excuse for discharging his foremen, They were polite to him—as politeness goes in a construction camp. They listen- ed to his suggestions and apparently put such suggestions to trial.. But nothing came of it. He Cam- eron, who had been noted for his abil- ity to make a Mexican greaser earn at least half his pay, realized that so far ho had proved a flat failure on this particular job. What was wrong? What on earth could be wrong? And then suddenly Alike O'Grady gave him the answer in a most unexpected fashion: The Incident occurred about Ow 4 Minard's Liniment Heals Cuts.

Even the dirt that is ground in at neck- bands and cuff -edges yields to a light rubbing with dry Rinso. Not a thread is weakened. The mild Rinso suds work thoroughly through and through the clothes without injury to a single fabric. Rinso is made by the makers of Lux. For the family wash it is as wonderful as Lux is for fine things. All grocers and department stores sell Rinso. LEVER BROTHERS LIMITED. TORONTO COIXIMIWaramffsiewiffar R-4-24 , Nurse Plays Big Part in Developing Character. Quite an interesting book could be written upon the indebtedness of fa- mous men in their childhood to the influence of some old nurse. Lord Shaftsbury, for instancce, to whose in- fluence nfluence and perseverance so many of the social reformers of the last cen- tury were due, owed almost everything to the religious influence of his nurse, writes F. C. H. irll,."The Homiletic Re- view." His mother was just a fine society lady who apparently eared more about being a beautiful hostess than a faith- ful mother. He traced the beginning of his Christian life to the influence of that simple Christian woman. She it was who taught him to love his Bible. She was indeed his only guide. Throughout his life he prayed the'. prayer that she had taught his youth- ful lips to speak. Shaftesbury shared this indebted- ness to some simple serving women with some of the foremost men of the nineteenth century. Archbishop Tait's mother died whilst he was quite a child. He owed some of life's most wholesome and abiding influences to the nurse who presided over his youth- ful destinies. Dean Stanley was similarly indebted and in the mid -course .of his career refused a royal command to dine with Queen Victoria that he might attend the funeral of his oidnurse. Men are not supposed to refuse such royal com- mands—once received that becomes the day's supreme engagement; but after all there. are other engagements of loyalty and of gratitude. Robert Louis Stevenson affectionately sent a copy of every new volume he publish- ed to an old Servant. Turncoat Words. A Pagan was originally 'a villager, a villain was a farm laborer, whilst a boor was a cultivator of the soil. The fact that people in these humble cir- cumstances were in times pastusually in a state of ignorance accounts for the later meaning of the words. They became expressions of contempt. The word "clumsy" meant numbed with cold. Thus, clumsy hands were cold Wanda. But as benumbed hands were useless for delicate work, the word "clumsy" came to mean . awk- ward and unhandy. The word "copy" has undergone a change in meaning. It used to mean abundance, but when a great many examples of the same thing were pro - Shrine to God of Babies, Of the thousands of shrines in Nieto the quaintest and prettiest Is that dedicated to Jizo, who is the. god of babies. duced they came to be called copies, and one of these "a copy," or speci- men. Similarly, the word "gazette," which now means a newspaper, used to mean a small coin, but when papers came to be sold for a small coin the name of the coin was transferred to the paper it bought. "Pomp" originally meant a proces- sion, but as there were generally very splendid the word carne to mean any- thing nything splendid', whilst the adjective, pompous, has come to mean a mere semblance of splendor. To say to - day, that a man has a. pompous manner is an "insult. ':Voices of the. Air. But then there comes that moment rare When for no cause that I can find, The little voices of the air Sound above all the sea and wind. The sea and wind do then obey, The singing, singing double notes Of double basses, content to play A droning chord for the little throats— The little threats that sing and rise Up into the light with lovely ease, And a kind of magical, sweet surprise To hear and know themselves for these— For these little voices; the bee, the fly, 15he leaf that taps, the pod that aks, The breeze oan the grass tops bending by, The shrill quick sound that the in - sett makes, —Katherine Mansfield. To Be Helped By Us—No Doubt. The child of active mind begins ear- ly to inquire into the riddle of the universe. Prof. George H. Palmer of Harvard University likes to tell a story that illustrates that truth. A little boy and girl of my acquaint- ance, he says, were tucked up snug in bed when their mother heard them talking. "I wonder what we're here' for? asked the little boy. • The little girl remembered the les - sone that had been taught her and re- plied .sweetly, "We are here to help others: ' The little boy sniffed; "Then what are the others here for?"
