Directing the Child's Powers of
Observation.
How we would like to give great
,gifts to our children! There is noth-
ing we would not endure to insure
:for them success, or fame, or wealth.
13ut here is a gift we may give, if we
will make the proper effort, that will
insure enduring sources of enjoyment.
It helps .us to forget sorrows, losses,
disappointments, and provides us with
unending entertainment and diver-
sion:
Many people will tell you that the
habit of observation is a gift inborn,
which is, to a certain extent, true.
But it can be cultivated, just as cheer-
fulness, truthfulness, or any of the
other desirable virtues.If an individual possesses a love of
nature anti the habit of observation,
he has within himself a source of en-,
„ oy�lent wherever he may go, in what-
ever ciretlnnstanees he may be placed,
The baby at an early age, can be
too �ht to observe :without taxing his
':rain to an_;, great extent. Ile can be,
shown the flowers, the birds, the
trees,.`a zed gradually he can be direct-
ed• to observe the fields, the woods,;
and passing objects of interest. Soon
he will begin to notice for himself,
and his outings will be of more de-!
light to him and his mother.
Mothers will not find directing the
'child's powers of observation arduous,'
or tedious. It is most interesting to;
watch the development of his mind,
and notice how his habit of observa-
tion will ,increase from day to d'ay.
He will first be attracted by the larg-'
est objects, horses, cows, and people
coming in for the first attention, then
smaller animals.
The wise mother in cultivating her,
child's powers of observation will en -1

and pleasant things first:

closely- herself, let me urge her to
begin to cultivate this habit for her-.
self. Practice it daily, everywhere
you go—when with your child, or
alone. . Your efforts will reap a rich
reward, for your interest and joy in
life will be immeasurably increased.
i care before it develops into a perman-
ent irritation.
If feet or ankles are tender they
should be bathed in hot water at
night, wiped• dry, and then massaged
i with the hands for two nights. After-
ward they may be massaged for two
or three nights with addition of a
liniment.
Massage the feet by moving the
hands upward front the toes one after
the other: This drives the blood up -
j ward. The feet shoulbe raised from
the ground during massage and not
rested on any object. Then move the
hand from side to side,, beginning
iwith the toes and working outward.
A good liniment for the feet is 10
I drops of strong solution of ammonia.
20 (bops of turpentiz-e, 1 ounce of
linseed oil,
This can be massaged into the feet
and will soothe them and keep the
skin soft without being too tender.
The feet should he bathed in cold
water each morning, or if a warm
bath is taken, spray ale feet with
cold water afterward.
For excessively tender feet the fol-
lowing foot powders are helpful: 2
drams boric acid, 2 drams zinc oxide,
4 drams starch.
Another excellent foot powder can
he made thus: 1's dram salicylic acid,
, dram calamine, 1 dram boric acid,
1 dram fuller's -earth, 2 drams talc,
3 drams starch.
This should be sprinkled inside the
stockings each morning, and will pre-
vent tender feet from becoming un-
pleasantly chafed during the day.
Even if your feet give you no trou-
ble they should be as carefully at-
tended as the hands, for only as long
as your feet feel healthy and com-
fortable can you maintain beauty of
carriage and grace.
Children should not be given tastes
of "grown-up" food. Their plain,
wholesome food will taste insipid and
unsatisfying after the highly season-
able dishes.
Loosen windows that are hard to

they come in from outdoors.
When hot fomentations are needed
in sickness, wring a flannel cloth
from hot water and apply. Then lay
against it a bottle or a' rubber bag
filled with hot water to keep the cloth
warm.
An extra hot fire should be watch-
ed, making sure that there is no ex-
posed wood work about the chimney
or near the stove. Look around and
sniff for smoke before you go to bed.
Never neglect the faintest smell of
smoke, but investigate at once and
et the investigation be a thorough
one.
Strong, Healthy Feet.
If we realized haw much beauty
of form depended on the health and
beauty of the feet, perhaps there
would be fewer cases of feet partly
crippled by broken arches and other
avoidable ailments.
Sometimes an ailment of the foot
is not noticed because there is no
pain until the trouble reaches an ad-
vanced stage, and also, too, perhaps,
because of the fact that women have
)accustomed themselves to the pain
of wearing tight, uncomfortable but
eashionable shoes, and are inclined to,
let slip any irritation of the feet.
However, no woman can have a
graceful carriage unless she is sup-
ported by feet that are strong and in
perfect, healthy condition. Shoes too
tight or too loose make for all sorts
of irritations, and the tiredness of
the feet that comes to the busy

"131g Bertha" fired a shell yveighing
484 lb„ with an initial velocity of over
5,000 feet a second. Such a shell,
fired vertieelly- would travel 258,000
feet into the air, or nearly fifty miles,
says "Everyday Science." As our at-
mosphere is believed to be only forty-
five miles in depth, some highly in-
teresting facts might be recorded by
the apparatus, provided that the gun
can bo fired vertically and that the
apparatus survives the shock of the
shell's return to earth, when it would
be falling at the rate of 1,666 feet a
second.
The shell would return to -earth,
although it did penetrate beyond the
limits of the earth's atmosphere.' But.
given a "Bigger Bertha," with a muz-
zle velocity of 26,000 feet a second, or
five times as great, a shell fired from
such a gun would never return. It
would become a satellite of the earth,
revolving round alike the moon.

water toward Nelson Island. The only

denote restful nature in primitive
grandeur was a einuilge of smoke that
smeared the horizon and showed that
a C.P.R. coasting steamer was out-
bound from Powell River. Theri the

Hardy Island is the city of refuge to
all the deer that know about it.
Three years ago it was good hunting

with guns, and hell pops, as the say-
ing goes, if men with both guns and
dogs appear. It. is unlawful toct

C. J. Leyland of England purchased
Hardy Island, a gem of land' situated
just off Nelson Island at the mouth of
Jervis Inlet. He bought it to .ex-
periment' with British trees in the
B.C. climate. There were 2,500 acres
of rich lands and forests, and there
was a . good orchard. He placed a
watchman, Tom Brazil, on the proper-
ty, and, did no more toward develop-
ment, preferring to await the end of
the war. Brazil, a lover of animals,
caught two of the wild deer that fre-
quently swain to the island from the
other nearby lands. He tamed them..
They in turn brought other wild ones.
Many of them had been run to water
i by dogs and took refuge on Hardy Is
land. There, seeing how intimate the
original tame pair were with the man
who controlled the orchards where
the luscious apples grew, the wild
newcomers gradually grew intimate
too. To -day a herd of thirty deer,
most of them born in wildness, re-
spond to the voice of Tom Brazil when
he calls. Some of therm will step for,
ward from the herd when called by
name. They have no fear at all of
man, when on Hardy Island. Some-
times they swim to other parts of the
coast, and range about a bit, but they
come back, often fagged from some
fierce run and swim.
Toni Brazil's herd is becoming a by-
word on the coast, but no dog and no
man . dare brave what might happen
should he try to hunt on the island of
refuge. So the deer are fat, are bring-
ing new little lives into the world,
and are adding to their numbers by
recruit volunteers from the wild
ranges where such stifety is not
known.—L.V.K.
Ai tient Falls of Niagara
Found by Canal Diggers.
Niagara Falls, nature's American
masterpiece, is merely the successor
to a grander cataract that, neons ago,
shook the forests about the present
site of Thorold, Ontario. This opini-
on is held by several engineers who
have inspected the local excavations
for the new Welland ship canal. Here,
10 miles south of Lake Ontario and
the same distance west of the present
waterfall, precipitous ledges have
been uncovered, over which water
from Lake Erie is thought to have
poured in seeking the lower level. In
support of this theory Is adduced the
remarkable evidenee of the rocks
themselves, these bearing unmistak-
able signs of erosion through countless
years.

Modern Eskimos to Have
Igloos of Concrete.
It is a matter of governmental re-
cognition that the Eskimo Indians of
the Pribilof Islands are rapidly gain-
ing in sophistication, as the prices of
the sealskins and blue and gray fox
pelts they sell mount higher and
higher. Those bits of frozen land in
Bering Sea, whose total area is less
than 70 square miles, have only about
350 inhabitants, yet they bre being as-
sailed by all the aspirations of pros-
perity, and are beginning to buy the
most interesting items the mail-order
catalogs offer. So united States en-
gineers are building them igloos of
concrete, thus substituting the most
substantial of materials for what
seeing, from. the temperate -zone view-
point, the most ephemeral. It is to
be noted, however, that the builders
are careful to adhere' closely to the
native style of architecture.
We should avoid personal extra-
vagance if we would escape national
poverty.
Chicks Reared in Bacteria -

Upon the old question of whether or
not vertebrates can live without the
companionship of the "benevolent"
bacteria which ordinarily populate
their digestive tract, penetrating light
is thrown by the recent experiments
of a French bacteriologist. He is able
to report that This bacterialess sub-
jects have developed vigorously, and
at maturity have actually displayed
unusual resistance to cold, thirst and
hunger. Placed among untreated
fowl, they have easily withstood the
inroads of common bacteria, As laid

tions. Communicating with this ante-
chamber by an air -tight door is the
cylindrical brass incubator, about 15
in. long, where gas jets keep the eggs
at constant temperature, until they
hatch. Zeparated from this chamber
by a cloth curtain is a likewise air-
