Even though they covet poise, they like to console themselves by thinking that no one can have poise and humor both; but they derive consolation from a fallacy. Sonia excitable people lack humor as well as poise; some humor- ous people have • poise. After all, poise is not a solemn' ponderosity. It comes from self-control; and often a sense of humor is invaluable in assist- ing one to maintain or to regain self- control.

Old Giles was taking out an insur- ance policy on his life and he and his wife were puzzling over the forms that had arrived for him to sign. "See this?" said Giles, "it says: 'age of father if living:' I suppose I must fill it in." The form was at last filled and a few days later Giles received a visit from the agent. "What do you mean by your form?" asked the agent. "You state that your father's age is 110. That is ridicu- lous." "No, it ain't," replied Giles. "Your form says 'if living,' and that's the age he'd be if he alive now." was Modern Version. The story of the good Samaritan was being expounded to the class.

"Now," asked the teacher, "does any little child know what had happened to the poor man?" One child had the answer. "Please, ma'am," she said, "I think he was run over by an automobile." His flying, vanguard flakes of snow. House Ventilation. The aim of any ventilation system should be to achieve a constant circu- lation of air, without causing a direct cold draught. There :rust be an en- trance for fresh air from outside and a means of egress, for the foul air.- Circulation ir.Circulation is rapidly accomplished by the difference in temperature between the inside and the outside air. The greater the difference, the stronger is the current, so that a very small aper- ture in winter may secure as much ventilation as a wide-open window iu summer. In English houses, with their open fire grates, the chimney serves as an excellent channel for the removal of foul air. In Canada, where we have a furnace in the cellar and cools by gas, we have, while immensely improving the efficiency of our heating systems, e not generally provided any means by which ventilation is combined there- with. Every furnace ought to have a pipe connecting with the outside air, which would bring in fresh and 1 warm it for distribution through the house. Then, if exits for the foul air were also provided, we should have an ideal ventilation system. Unfortunately, we must, in the ma- jority of existing houses, fall back on the windows to let in clean anr. Al- though' they are, at best, unsatisfac- tory, they can very often be improved. To begin with, the type of double win- dow which has no aperture except three little holes or a slit, invariably choked with snow and ice, should be discarded. A sliding or hinged pane should always be provided. Then, if the upper inside window be opened, the air must circulate between the two windows before entering the room and thus a direct draught is avoided, while the volume of new air is readily regulated to suit the coldness of the day and the strength and direction of the wind. ta oes at 36 cents per bushel HE cost Items of Mr. Jos.

Poise. i There are certain traits that people are unwilling to admit they lack—even thou.h they secretly suspect a defi- ciency, Courage, generosity, sym- pathy are some of the most obvious of these; few persons will acknowledge even to themselves that they are cowardly, ungenerous, or hard-heart- ed. So, too, with humor. What man was ever heard to deny that he had a sense of humor? But the quality of poise is one that some persons covet quite openly. Ex- citable people realize as clearly as those with whom they have to deal the disadvantages attendant upon their excitability. When they are in- dignant, they sputter and lose effect- iveness. When they are confronted by a situation that demands their best efforts, their intensity of feeling, which ought to stimulate them, thr*we thein a little out of gear; their men- tal machinery does not respond to the most urgent cranking. Afterwards they lament the poor showing that those ,who overvalue themselves and undervalue ethers. Egotism and self - depreciation alake prevent the acquisi- tion of poise; one leads to sulki'iess, the other to facile surrender.

The contention that it is the "duty" of large employers of labor to provide decent housing for their workers has been freely combatted. Another ar- gument is coming to the fore, that is likely to. be mere convincing because it is based on practical considerations, namely, that it is greatly to their ad- vantage. One manufacturer who has adopted this method of "prosperity sharing" has confessed that, whereas before honsing accommodation was provided the labor turnover was 400 per Dent., at present it is practically nil and labor unrest is a thing of the past. it la being proved also that the new method of housing workers is sus- ceptible of important economies and !the creation of amenities and eou- veniences for home life such as have been hitberto the privilege of the rich. Tho engineering firm of Ruston and { Hornsby. Lincoln, Eng., have acquired I an estate of 370 acres, near Lincoln, in the vicinity of a lake, known as the Swanpool. and are There building an industrial garden suburb with pro- vision for 3,000 houses. The estate is being laid out on "garden city" lines, with ample provision for shops, schools, institutes, recreation grounds, Ilotment gardens and other amen"- , • ties. The grousing will be managed on co -partnership principles and will not be eonfned to the employees of the firm. One feature has special interest. It is proposed to carry out from a cell-. tral station a communal supply of electrciity and hot water for domestic purposes. It is chanted by the engin- eers that great economy may be se. cured by combining the production of electricity with tate utilization of waste heat from the generating plant for the supply of hot water, which will be circulated among all the houses throughout the area. The develop- ment has already begun and some of the houses are ready for occupation. Single Tree Starts Island. The mangrove tree, specimens of which -axe in the Arnold Arboretum, s the tree museum of Harvard Uni- versity, has a very interesting method of sending its seeds or fruits into the world. Growing as it usually does in shallow water, it is necessary for the young Fruits actually to begin growing before they leave the parent plant. The fruit, which resembles a large le- verted berry, send out large leaves at its upper end and a long root, some- times 18 inches in length -from the lower end, while yet attached to the parent plant, Then, as if by magic, the parent plant drops it into the mud, where the plant already growing be- gins to develop into a larger plant, and soon is firmly established. If it were not prepared immediately to begin to grow in the mud it would probably be washed away. A single mangrove is oft -times able to start, a small island by its manifold loots and arms, The work of charting the coasts and seas of the British Empire employs a score of warships -and over :1,000 offi- cers and men.
