A baby deprived of crusts and crackers at the period when the desire comes to chew and fed strietly a milk diet long after solid foods should have been intro- duced, is almost certain to have the instinct to cbew all Jetit killed in him, and aroused again only after Icing, patient coaxing and training. The same is true with the child's instinct to love. Love for parents •eenel brothers and sisters is taken as a. matter of course. They love the child and the child loves them. But a child's love is not bestowed wholly on humans: he has an instinctive de- sire to love all animals. And it is this love instinct which Many parents fail to fostet, eAn unwise mother can change his baby love to fear and hate. "Bad old cat! Get out of here!"—these words supplemented with a kick or -cuffing, will "-amuse the baby, when kitty scratches but they will never induce love and kindness in him. Later, when the child has fully andersteod about hurting things, he will begin to lavish his love on every- thing. His tender heart se -ill be touch- ed at sight of anything being killed. Yet there are certain "deaths" -which must occur. Eneleavor, however, to get the child to understand fully why a fly is dangerous to have around before you swat it. Show, him the rose petals sadly eaten by the fat green warm before you pick it e and crush it. If his love turns toward toads and snakes and ants, do not discourage it. The farmer has no better friend than the toads and common snakes. Yet there are many, many grown-up men who still insist upon driving the toad and snake from the gardens. And no one can deny that even a child can learn lessens of value front the busy ente. I have seen my own little lad of live stretched fiht on his stomach, resting on his elbows, with chin cup- ' Red in halals, watching an ant -hill for half an hour or so. Eventually he would come running to me, able to ' tell how the "nice little ants" threw up the dirt to make their houses, how ' they carried a dead fly into their house and innumerable etherfactsI myself had never noted. Baby's dawn- ing love for all things is at first -in the hands of those. who have him in !charge. ------ ! - Gossip. The sewing machine would run busily for several moments, and then the seametrese, her hands full of *basting and pins in her mouth, would turn to mother with another bit of gossip. "Jennie Dodson said that—" "I heard that Sarah Brown—." "Did you know that John Humphries had overdrawn his account -et the •hank?" "Have you heard about Elden, that youngest daughter of Bess Aldrich and the: young man from—? No— Well, I hearrl that he--!" Mother had tried to stop her—tried to interrupt with the sewing machine, but the seamstress had talked on and at the end of the day there was a chaos of gossip hits in the older wo-I Iran's mind that it was hard to drive, out. Every now and then she found .herstelf wondering, as she recalled cer- tain statements and when the family mentioned names at dinner, she was eioubting people who had lived as her! ataghbors for yeare—doubting old1 ifriereis—woeelering if this and that ;which she had heard was true. ! In the .eveeing the eeamstreee came: agtdn to finish up a party dress for atlareia and sat in the sewing room 1 math mother awl grandmother and the two girls, Later a neighbor frorn! acmes the way came in and there was! mall talk of varying nature, and be - ore they knew it the seamstress was again telling things about friends of them all—people for whom she sewed! a -little intimate things which were' laot meant to be cast breeds:de for ery one to know. The neighbor sat uietly listening, glancing up now and hen from the hem she was carefully easting and when the girl had stopped alking she asked quietly, "Does Mee, amen wish you to tell this?" The eazastress looked- up quickly, as did be others in the room, and answered ellantly, "Well, she didn't tell me not ilo telli" ' "And so you tell things you hear in - pada/ice unless you are warned not 4to re ?eat them ?" the neighbor asked ovenly, but the girl did not reply, im- ariatdietely starting the sewing me- talline very fag, But when she had lfinieltad the seam the naighbor again look ell) the subject. "If you put money in a bank, you itwoulthe't with that bank to cry out ileS eery one who cattle in, `Aunie -.......ea" Jones just drew out all she has,' would yoa?" S "They wouldn't darer the seam- stress cried out and hung her head when the neighbor replied, "Why not? You didn't tell them not to tell, did , you?" "We're like banks ourselv,es," the kind voice explained. "We should be safe-deposit boxes for all that we hear, take great are who gets a peek in or knows just what lies stored away. If our friends so honor. us as to give us their precious confidence to keep we should guard them most carefully and see that none of them are carelessly left where others can steal them. None should take them out but those who put them there!" The figures were plain enough for any one to understand and the seamstress was surprised at the revelation, for she was really not intentionally mean, just thoughtless. "I always feel," g-randma said quietly, "when people being gossip to me, that they take away something to the next person; I sort of feel dubious about them. There is an old saying that rings true—'Those who bring a tale will carry one.' " "No finer compliment can be given us than for some one to confide in us," Marcia said, really feeling sorry for the girl and wishing to get into pleasanter channels. "When we think about it, there are very few to whom we feel safe in going to tell those little intimate things so close to our heart." "Well, 1 knciev of a woman to whom I never hesitate going, a woman who has for years been the eonfidanteof hundreds of people, and she has never been known to break that 'confidence," mother said mysteriously, as she ex- amined the ruffling which had just been finished. "Really, I didn't mean any harm," ' the seamstress said, with tears in her voice. "Everybody talks." "But after the harm is done it .ean't be undone, y.91.1. see," Anne added. "So let's not do the harm." "Well, we Iearn to keep our mouth shut down at the office," Marcia said inelegantly. "'a we blab about busi- ness we soon get a blue envelope, and we certainly ought to be as careful of the sayings of our friends as of our employer." • ' — A Linoleum Protector. Linoleum should be protected v'ith rug e and runners to prevent wearing. Matting rugs are light and wear out quickly, while al] other kinds of rugs get dirty and faded with constant use. We have found .cocoa matting most satisfactory for such purpose .in our 'kitchen. It does not fade, nor fray or break when used on an uneven surface, and it is so poredthat dust goes through it and does not ac- cumulate.' Garden Furniture Made From Concrete. Few people realize that anything of a real artistic nature can be made frcm cenerete, which material is generally looked upon as suited only to foundatious, piers and re-enforce1 building construction. The truth is however, that :some of the most beauti- ful garden fuiniture is made front con. trete. ley means of improved processes in molding and during cast cement ware, the texture anti color obtained are stud] that the 'tetanal observer cannot ttAl the work from carved limestone. Even old stonecutters are sometimes misled by the perfect appearance of this artificial stono. Among the artic- les manufactured are tree pots, urns, flower and shrubbery boxes, sun dials, fountains, -birdbaths, Japanese Ian - tents and gate -posts. Artificial stone manufacturers have virtually discarded the original cast- ing methitde. by which a cement mix- ture was poured into a mold in a. semi -fluid state, with the result that. the finished product took on a very smooth fled extremely hard surface, which finish was considered objection- able because of its lifeless appearance and because the surface was likely ,to creek under severe climatic changes. In the ituproved processa cement mixture which ee is barely nuoist Is forced and tamped into every detail of the meld. As soon as this casting has set it is submerged ib water for five or six days, or until the concrete has cured and hardened, with a crisp and natural appearance. It is then inmervialseto climatic changes, and will last indefinitely. e • ta- - • Among the 188 warships the Bri- tish Admiralty has decided to dis- pose of are 5 battleships, 15 traisere, and 9 subrnatinea.

In the spring the appetite is often poor—Dr. Willams' Piuk Pine • ina prove the appetite, tone the stomach. and aid weak digestion. Itis in the spring that -poisons in the blood most often find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions. and bone; Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills speedily clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in ;the blood, In spring anaemia, indigestion,. neuralgia, raeu- matt= and many other trembles are most ,_ persistent because of weak, watery bleed and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs attention. Among those who have proved the value of Dr- Williama Pink Pills is- Mr. Archie R. Carmichael; Tarbot, N.S., who says:—'For a num- ber of years I was bothered with pimples which would break out on my face and body. The trouble was al- ways worse in the spring, and al- though I tried different treatments, it was withoit muck success. In. the spring of .two years ago, the trouble. was worse than usual, and although I was taking medicine it did not, help me until I finally decided to try Dr. Williams' Pitik Pills. Under thictreat- runt the pimples disappeared, and tb.ere has since been absolutely no re- turn of the trouble."

The silk -spinning caterpillar is an industrious creature, but .it cannot keep up with the steadily increasing demand for the precious fibre it pro- duces. Hence there is always a good market for the artificial .article, If your silk stockings "nielOaa you may know that they are not woven of the real stuff. Artificial silk will not endure contact with moisture; and it has the additional disadvantage of be- ing highly combustible. However, a new process has been developed whereby the same raw ma- terial (wood cellulose) is converted 'into an imitation silk which, when woven into cloth, has remarkable bril- liancy and durability, with a "feel" like that of real silk. It is waterproof and no more inffammable that natural The new -process silk can be drawn into much finer threads than those of ordinary artificial sllk. and is said to be particularly remarkable for the quality of the velvets made front it, The integrity of the wood fibres is preserved, thereby t'ontributing to durability and strength. The invention of artificial silk dates batIli TO let, but in its original form it was practically an explosive, and on that. areount unavailable fee wear- ing apparel. This difficulty was later overcome by denitrnting the sub- etauce. 12. Warranted to Wear. As he marched into the shop et the head of his live sons Slater looked very worried.

Ono of the most difficult problems that was set by the Germans for our eounter-teepionage .sewvic.e was pro- vided by au invisible ink used by the ostensible American journalist, George VaUX Bacon, who was sentenced to death, butifterwards reprieved, and returned to America, where he gave evidence against some of the most important enemy agents there, says tut English writer, It was easily the best Mk for wait- ing invislbly which came our way dur- ing the war; very.exhatative experld ments had to bo carried out before we could discover the developer. And. even, when that bad been done, the writing when revealed faded so quick- ly that it was impossible to make the hidden message pernment. However, being"of a persevering. turn of mind, ve eventually found something which wottld fix the ink once it was shown up, and thereby drove another nail in the coffin of the fest-decaying enemy spy organization, This ink was, not carried about by the spy in a bottle or any other re- cognizable form. Flacon, is a con- feesion, told how he received it, from a certain "Davis," the German agent in America, by whom lee was sent here. "Have you got a pair of black wool- len -socks?" Davis asked. Bacon stared in astonishment. "Good gracious:, no," was his reply, "I have plenty of fancy socks, but nothing in plain black." "Well, go and buy a pair at once." Bacon duly went downstairs, tend in a shop close by purchased e, pair cf socks for a dollar, When he returned Deeds produced a collapsible tube, similar to that used for holding tooth paste. "Give me your socks," he said. Bacon handed them over, and with wondering eyes watched Davis sqtfeeze out of the attic( a thick brown liquid.

Anaemia, which means lack of blood, may be produced either by it deficiency in the quantity •of the blood or by its poor quality, and it may be either primary or secondary. For example, a person in good health may encounter some sudden accident that results in great loss of blood, and far that reason may suffer from the type that as secondary anaemia. All these persons who suffer from hemorrhages, whatever the underly- ing cause, are likely to be limemic, simply because they are losing blood faster than they can make it up. All sufferers from. disease anywhere be the body that produces septic condi- tions are generally anaemic, because the quality of the blood is constantly vitiated by the slow poisoning that is continually going on. This state of poisoning may be pro - dined not only by such grave disord- ers as Bright's disease, or by the abscesses of hip -joint disease or ether tuberculous states, but also by the abscesses that form at the roots of teeth and sometimes go 'unrecognized for months and years, by infected - tonsils, and by sinus trouble, which.. follows a severe cold or an attack ' of influenza. Sometimes a person who has had an attack of grippe from which he considers himself to have recovered remains unduly palliti !. and suffers constantly with a discharge from the -hose. In such a case, especially if at is complicated by headaches, sinus trouble should be suepeeted and track- ed down. It is a waste of time in such a case to treat the aceornp,anying anaemia with iron tonics, or anything else, until the focus of poison has been cleaned up. Bids the reasons for anaemia given above, all disorders thet niter - fere with the proper nutrition of the body will bring about an anaemic conditien.
