Teeth were never constructed to eat "pap," and if continually subjected to this form of diet, are certain to be- come useless and insanitary. It is true that few people indulge in this farm of diet, but the present day foods are prepared and cooked in such mushy forms that the teeth have prac- tically no work to do and in conse- quence •are consequently in trouble. How often have we seen the small boy soak his crusts in tea to avoid the hard chewing, whereas his teeth are actually "going stale" for the want of some such substances as crusts, firm neat, .and shredded foods to strengthen them up. The teeth need exercise just as the rest of the body needs it. Too much mphasis cannot be laid on the tach that children's teeth are vitally important and require the ut- most care and •attention. Many people are of the opinion that the child's first set of teeth are not very important and that it is the' second set that leourits. This idea is absolutely er- roneous, for neglect of the primary or first set means a life of misery, trouble and expense with the second, or permanent set. When we consider that the amount of work the child does with his first set is sufficient to enable him to more than double his Weight during his first six or seven ys:e=and that at no other time in his life' is' he cable to perform this feat, we veould surely conclude that his teeth are worth while. But not only are they the mills which . grind his daily food, they are also the scaffold, erected prior to the entrance of the permanent set, which holds the jaw in shape until the second teeth arrive, and upon the loss or retention of this scaffold depends the appearance and condition of the second teeth. When temporary teeth decay go to a good dentist without delay and he will de- termine whether the age of the child warrants the extraction of the tooth; 'whether Cr not the second tooth is ready to come through, or wltethei a temporary filling will save the tooth until its time arrives to be shed.

The Ministry of Public Works has now nio•re tban 3,000,000 trees under its control. When the road is between ten and sixteen metres in width .-ane row of trees is set out on each side. When the width is over sixteen metres two rows are planted, with a foot -path between them. Tree -planting is given out in small contracts to local nien, who receive a lump sum as soon as the trees are planted and the balance at the end of two years. During that period the contractor is responsible for the care of the trees, and for replacing any that die or prove defective. Baby's Bed Time. I wonder what the angels think children kneel and pray!

' The snake moves in the grass or the dust; 'primitive man went barefooted and bare -legged; there were such things as venomous snakes; and the instinct of man, as the result of find- ing an enemy concealed, in the grass or dust, reacted against the whole wee of snakes. Once implanted, the inlet cannot be eradicated from the though it may be, and often is, ';iitii'el3' overcome in the individual. '"his; at least, is the accepted theory. Somewhat against the theory Is the fast that little children often do not shdw any abhorrence of snakes, but manifest, on the contrary, a disposi- tion to play with them; they seem • to have to acquire the repugnance by suggestion from their elders. The Nomad has seen children pick up small green or striped snakes with de- light, and bring them into the house, to the horror of tb,eir mothers. Women, indeed, generally possess the repugnance to snakes in a higher " 'than men, and this especial preelattico recalls the -edict in the book of Genesis against the serpent: "I will put enmity between thee and the wo- man, and between thy seed and her seed; .11 shall brulse thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." The wo- man's instinctive enmity to the snake is probably founded on the fact that the 'primitive woman's children, play- ing in the grass about the hut door or the cave's mouth, were in danger from venomous'' reptiles. The individual man replaces instinct with reason:; he learns that, such and Ouch snakes are harmless and ceases to fear them; but he makes a note of the existence and the habits of the few venomous snakes, and goes around them. Of course, the indiscriminate and wholesale killing of snakes is Stupid and mischievous, the majority of snakes being beneficent to man. And no living creature responds more readily to kindness than the snake. KEEP CII1 LDDJEN WELL DUPING 110 Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small child- ren. Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dyseutry, colic and stomach troubles aro rife at this time and often a pre- cious little life is lost after only afew hours' illness.

Ntinard's Liniment Relieves Distemper Leads Them All. .An instructor in a Military Academy was once assigned to conduct about the place the visiting parents of a cer- tain cadet. After a tour of the post, the proud and happy parents joined the crowd assembled to witness evening parade, a most imposing spectacle. The march past aroused the father of the cadet to a high pitch of enthusiasm. "There!" he exclaimed to his spouse,. "isn't that fine? --But," he added, re- flectively, "I shall not be happy till. my boy attains the proud position that leads 'em all." And he pointed in rapt admiration to the drum -major. AT.

But within very recent years science has discovered that the atmosphere also contains, in very small quantities, five other gases. These are called argon, neon, helium, krypton and xenon. They are sometimes spoken of as "noble" gases, not so much because they are ram as for the reason that they refuse under any circumstances to combine chemi- cally with other elements, They -will not thus combine even with one an- other. All five of them together form about 1 per cent. of the air. Inasmuch as nearly nineteen -twentieths of this 1 per cent. is argon, one may judge how minute are the quantities in which the others occur. 0'f neon there is, by volume in the air, one part in. 55,000; of helium, one in 135,000; of krypton, one in 20,000,000; of xenon, one in 170,000,000. If there was nothing to breathe but xenon, it would take a man more than two centuries to get one breath the size of a breath of air. Of what use in nature are these noble gases? None whatever, ap- parently. Perhaps they are too noble to work. At all events, they seem to have no influence upon animal or plant life. One member of the gas nobility, how- ever, has recently been drafted into Conclusive Evidence. William and Henry, chauffeurs, were discussing the ill luck of a fellow chauffeur,• Clarence, who had the day before been fined for taking out his linployer's car without permission. 'hut how didthe boss know Clai- -int e had taken the car out?" asked essess. "Why,'.' eitlilainecl William, "Cltr- aliases- an over him." • the service of mankind and made•to do something useful. This is argon,` which, through experiments, has been proved to be excellent for filling in- candescent lamps. Because of its very inertness, it is one of the poorest conductors of heat, ante tnus increases the efficiency of the lamp and length- ens the life of the filament. Another of the noble gases 'for which a possible job has been found Is helium, which, being too lazy to catch fire, and yet with an "ascensioral power," almost equal to that of hydro- gen, is an admirable substitute for the latter in balloons. But there is no commercial demand for it even for this purpose, because it costs too much, and probably it will not come into use until there is another war. Krypton and xenon make good lamp atmosphere, but they are too scarce and expensive for any such employ- ment. When a current of electricity is passed through a tube of neon a wierd and beautiful orange=pink glow is given off. The effect is so attractive that experimenters are trying to de- velop lamps of the kind for use in rich folks' dining -rooms and drawing - rooms. All five of the noble gases are color- less, odorless and tasteless. Argon, krypton and 'f:enon, when liquefied, look like 'water, and when reduced to solids have the appearance of clear ice.

British Women on Jury. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," was, the address of counsel heard for the first time in the history of English courts recently, when six women formed a part of a jury in the Bristol Quarter Sessions. Six cases were tried, one of then being that of a pian who was charged with assault. He was oenvictecl and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. All the women on the jury voted for his conviction, after hearing the evidence. At the close of the day's session two of the women asked the court to excuse them from further service be- cause of their home duties. The court granted their request, whereupon two other women in the room vplunteered for jury service and were accepted. The prosecuting attorney congratu- lated the women jurars on "at last taking their proper places in the ad- ministration of justice in England." : •lie declared that justice also was furs thered in women accepting jury duty.
