Feed Children-, Regular1_"v And Only At Meal -Times soy Good eating .habits have ni`ttch to do with health, and such habits are , of the greatest importance during the years' - of childhood, • when . the. body is growing rapidly. In add. tion to knowing what to feed the child we need also tp know how to ';feed him. Regularity in feeding is desirable. .This means that the proper foods, having been- selected and prepared are to be served to the child at regular meal -times. If a child is to enjoy his 'meals, hi should come to ,the table hungry and ready to'eat what 'is set before him The child who is given food between meals is not hungry at meal -time• he is not interested -in his food and so will likely refuse to eat. The child who is both hungry am rested enjoys his meals. No one child' or adult, desires food when tired. iOhi'ldren -should have a shor peri+od'; of rest 'before going to their meals,. -Children are not all alike, nor do they feel just the same day after ray. A child will be more hungry err some days than on others.

Mary of ••-Magdala with. another Mary had remained beside the tomb, t ill the trumpet of the Passover -Sab- bath and the gathering darkness had .warned them;"ter retire. They rested t he Sabbath! day, according, to the commandment, in the saddest, dark- est grief that ever oppressed the hu- man heart; for they had not. 'only lost the dearest• object of their af- fection, under the 'most harrowing circumstances, but their hopes that this was the Messiah seemed to have been rudely shattered. But how ten- acious is human love, especially the love of women! So, when the Sab- bath "was over (after sundown on Saturday) they stole out to purchase additional sweet spices, which they prepared that night in order to com- plete the embalming of the body, which had been left incomplete on the day of crucifixion. They would probably sleep outside the city gates which only opened at daybreak, be- cause they were resolved to reach the sepulchre while it was yet dark. and saw that it was empty. ,After a time they went away again toy their own j!iome, but Mary Stood without at the door of- the sepulchre weeping, and as she wept she stoop- ed down, and looked into the sepul-• chre. The two sentry -angels who sat the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the ,body of ,!esus had lain, sought in vain to coimfert l her. "Woman," they said, in effect, "there is no need for tears; didst thou but know, couldst thou but un- derstand, thy heart would overflow. with supreme joy and thy tears be- come smiles." "They have taken a- way my Lord," she ,said, "and I• know. not where they. have laid Him." What could angel voices do for- her, who longed to hear „one voice only? What were the griefs ofothers in comparison with hers? In an espec- ial sense Jesus was hers! My Lord! Had He not cast out from her seven devils?' ' Sofile slight movement behind, or But before they could arrive the sublime event had occurred, which has filled the world with light and joy in,! all succeeding years. The women, meanwhile, were hurrying to the grave, debating as they did so, how they would be able to roll away, the stone from its :'mouth. Probably they had heard nothing of the seals •and sentries with which the Sanhedrim had endeavored to guard against all eventualities; for, had they known. they would hardly have ventured to come at all. They were greatly start- led, however, when, on approaching the grave, they saw that the' stone was rolled away. Mary of Iliagdala, apparently detected this • first, and without staying to cec further, start- ed off to tell the disciples. Peter and John hastened to the sepulchre That same. evening He appeared to the whole company of the apostles, excerpting Thomas, as ..,they sat at meat.- They had carefully shut the door , since there was every reason ho• fear that the rumors of the events of the morning would arouse against them the strong hate and fear of the Pharisees. Theni suddenly, without announcement or preparation, the figure of their beloved Master stood in the midst of them, with the fam- iliar greeting of peace,—;"Peace be unto you." Evidently.. H,e • was clothed in the resurrection or 'spi'r'itual' 'body of which the Apostle Paul speaks. He was not subject to all the laws that govern our physical life but He al- layed their fears by showing to them His hands and His side in proof that Hie • was the same whom they had Seen so recently hanging on the cross and laid in the tomb. He was risen and, stooping down, they looked in.. indeed. Then were the disciples glad, day. As long as a child is healthy and is gaining steadily 'in'" weight,- his mother does not need to worry if he does not eat as much as her friend's child. She should not feel concerned if he does not eat his full allowance every day. Adults must remember that chil- dren imitate them. A child's dislike for some food can often be traced to some adult who has, by word or ac- tion, shown that he or she "dislikes that particular food. If the mother and fatter do not eat certain foods, or if they show their dislike for some particular food, they set an ex ample that the erald will very likely follow. • Children demand attention, and the meal -time gives the child an ex- cellent opportunity to attract atten- tion to himself. If the parent is fussy, ,or scolds when the child does not eat, all the child has to do is to •-efuse to eat and he gets the atten- rion he loves. That is one reason why it is better for the young child to eat alone, or with other children and not with adults. of food Qa aren't - s'.sways I-u•ck -'"Sparkling eyes and a smooth complexion depend on good health.

Mr. Krook, the Bleak House junk- man, went to glory that way, and an ingenious J. •Delancey Ferguson has a whole catalogue of such deaths in an article of his in The Colophon.

'meat is to say, a man who bears the same relationship to literature that you do to a detective story. He invited the man to dinner, intending to slip a bit of arsenic in hie tea. But just as the tea was served Barrie had a eecond thought. "Row much. better," he mused as he passed the mins, "to twist his neck, :scarf about his neck as lie stands in the hall ready to go home." There were two points to that—no muss or fuss in the dining- rooin, and no interruption of a pleas- ant 'chat.

The king was beside himself for • joy. He had waited impatiently for results --and what had come was: truly worth. its weight in gold. For porcelain in. those• days was as 'prec- • ious as paintings or gems to Euro- pean monarchs. - Porcelain had' been made -in China . as early as 900 A. D., and, while the Orientals reached a high point of ' technical and artistic achievement in 'Y the, • art •during -.the fifteebtli-teiii'tury; the Europeanswere still without its , secret. . A few pieces reached Europe, in, the • middhe ages, but trade began to flour- ish "when the Dutch founded their East India company in 16012. • The highly decorative 'importations —vases, plates, statues—became the - rage of the day. Ecstatic sovereigns gave over entire rooms of their pal- aces,for 'collection's, the cost -of which was enormous. King August established Boettger in chambers of the citadel in Meis- sen, where real work. began. The struggle to perfect the lovely ' 'product was not only an artistic one. Other courts tried to gain -the covet- ed formula, and the tale of the early days of Europeen.porcelain is one of intrigue, bribery punishment involv- ing and to which overn 'n whole m 1 g g the medieval now as then—supplie.l a properly romantic setting. Soon the Vienna and Berlin manu- factories were founded, but they sel• - dom surpassed iMeissen's Dresden .. china' Because a wottld-be alchemist tried to produce gold and found instead the secret of Dresden china, his 250th birthday, falling this year, adds spe• cial pride to this littler town's 7,00th -anniversary. • He was Johann Friedrich Boettger, born in Sehleiz February 4, 1t 2. To him the first European porcelain, Dresden e.hina, owes the beg innin s of its artistic tradition. "manufac- turedproduct still is being"manufac- tured at Meissen, near Dresden. where Boettger supervised the first production. Boettger's life was as romantic as the times in which he lived. He had a gift for chemistry as a university student and turned his talents to the "black art" of making gold. He came to Berlin to serve as an apothecary's apprentice, and. nis of forts to create the gold -making fluid, arcannum, aroused great local curi- osity. When it became apparent that King Frederick would arrest hi•m:.in order to put him to work, Boettger dis- creetly withdrew to Saxony, where King August the Strong,' good sol- dier and art -lover, gladly took him into.
