A housewife can "save her hands" in many ways, even though she may own but few of the modern labor-saving devices. A little thought, a pair of canvas gloves (to wear when doing rough work), a dish mop and scraper are great aids to pre- sentable hands. If hard water must bo used for toilet purposes, soften it by means of borax. Another way is to mix a cup- ful each of oatmeal and cornmeal, with, ono -half cupful of almond meal. Place. in cheesecloth bags (a tablespoonful, in each) and add one of these bags to! a basin of hot water. Creams and lotions should be pro- vided and used intelligently. As II have said before, it is impossible to' recommend a soap, lotion, cream or powder that will suit all skins. Every woman must try these out for herself. There are, however, a few toilet pre- parations which can generally be used. Ono of these is camphor -ice, a thick; waxy form of cream which is an ex-! cellent protection for the lips in cold: weather. Camphor -ice should be rub- bed over the lips before going out of, doors. There are innumerable uses for vasoline (petroleutn jelly). If the finger nails become brittle, as they so often do .in cold weather, rub vase - line well into the nails (especially around the roots) several times a day and the last thing at night. Vaseline will both darken and strengthen the eyebrows and eyelashes. It may be rubbed freely into the eyebrows, but use sparingly on eyelashes. Rub badly -stained hands with vase - line until it has entered every crevice of the skin. Rub this off with corn- meal, then wash with warm water and soap. Every particle of stain or grime can be removed in this way, leaving the hands clean and smooth. Should the ends of the fingers crack in cold weather, try a lotion which is highly recommended. The lotion requires two ounces of commer- cial (32 per cent,) acetic acid, two ounces of witch -hazel and two ounces of glycerine mixed together. Just be- fore retiring, wash the hands well with warm water and soap. Rinse off all soap, then dry the hands lightly, and rub the lotion well into the akin. It will smart when it gets into the cracks, but the smarting will last but a moment, and the hands will soon be well and the skin becomes soft and pliable. Used in the same way, this lotion will soften the callous spots which form on the hands and feet. HOMEMADE FUN. When the Christmas toys begin to, pall, as they will (luring the long shut- in days, the wise mother will put them out of sight and offer a simple home -I made substitute. Many ideas lie ready to hand. A dozen clean rubber rings, from opened jars of fruit, will provide a jolly game of ring toss, using any convenient hook or peg. If no other, is in sight .four excellent ones may bo obtained by turning a dining -room chair upside down on the floor. The Christmas cards which have clear bright pictures should be slipped into a pigeonhole. Let Billy lay them on a sofa cushion and give him a large -headed pin with which to prick holes around the outlines, and he will www - "DIAMOND DYES" COLOR THINGS NEW 1.0•••••.ft"•••••••••••••,,,,,,,,,,,.••••.",•%••••••••••••"^"~. be happy for an hour or two making illuminated pictures. Magazine covers or colored adver- tisements are easily pasted on box lids or other cards. A few snips of the scissors and you have a new and interesting cut-up picture puzzle which will be a source of happiness for at least a little while. A few clean empty cans or cartons, such as have contained cocoa, baking powder, breakfast food, and the like, may be set away on a shelf corner. These will stock a grocery store when the children are longing for a new game. This can be made a means of instruction as well if the little ones are old enough for the simple arith- metic needed in buying and selling. Other ideas will come when you be- gin to look for them, and the real toys will prove all the more fascinating after a rest. WINTER SEWING HINTS. Winter is "stock taking" time for both merchant and home -maker. Tho latter carefully examines her store of household linens and the family sup- ply of underwear and every -day cloth- ing, repairs or remodels the garments on hand and carefully makes lists of the new things which will be required. Meantime, the merchant is trying to dispose of odd lots, broken sizes and short lengths, so a trip to town at this time may prove very profitable, for there are many reductions in price. In making out the list of needfuls, rem- ember the notions and findings which will be needed. Buy tnuslin, long - cloth or cambric by the eiece, as it cuts to better advantage. One can also economize by making several aprons or rompers or a set of shirts from ono material. Choose material in fast colors for garments which must be laundered often. Avoid flimsy laces and trimmings. For the same price per yard, one can find laces which are both dainty and durable. Tatting,; crocheted and knitted laces make. popular and pretty trimmings. A "NEWLYWED" PARTY. Write your invitations on corres- pondence cards, at the top of which paste the heart stickers used for St. Valentine's Day. The invitations might read thus: Mrs. John Blank requests the plea- sure of Mrs. James Jones's presence At a Husbands and Wives Enter- tainment (date here) Please bring your matrimonial exhibit with you. Tho "exhibit" naturally is under- stood to be the "inferior half." Tack up here arid there "rules and regula- tions," Make these something like: "If exhibits are unruly bring them in by the rear entrance" or,"Exhiibtors must bo prepared to tae their •ex- hibits with them when leaving." Make up separate lists of questions for husbands and wives, fold papers over, distribute and have guests write answers on the hack of the folded pa -j pers without having read the ques- tions. Questions might be somethingi like this: "Does your husband keep his tem- per during the housecleaning season?"! j "Does your husband object to eatingj ' hash?" "Does your wife make you help with the dishes?" "Do you al -1 ways like your wife's new hats?" Col -1 lect papers and appoint n render. I For an amusing contest ask the men to describe their wives' wedding gowns and ask each woman to describe her experiences in learning to cook the, dishes "his mother used to make," Serve simple refreshments. "I Hear It Said." Last night my frtond—ho says he.'is my friend— Came In and questioned me. "I hear it Bald You have done this and that. I come - to ask Aro these things true?" A gliut-was in his eye Ot small distrust. Hie words were crisp and hot, He measured the with anger, and flung down A little heap ot facts,had como\o him. "I hear it said you have done this and that."

Never mind a change of scene— Try a change of thinking. What if things seem sordid, mean, What 'a the use of blinking? Life's not always storm and cloud, Same where stars are shining; Try to think your joys out loud; Silence 811 repining. By degrees, by thinking light, Thinking glad and sweetly, You'll escape the stress of night, Worry gone completely, Get the habit of looking for • Sunbeams pirouetting, Tapping gayly at your door -- Surest cure for fretting. —John Kendrick Bangs. Look to your health; and It you have it, praise God, and ,value it next to a good conscienee.—Isaac Walton, Minard's Liniment for the Grippe. Suppose I have? And are you not my friend? And are you not my friend enough to say, "If It were true, there would be roa• sonin And it I cannot know tho how and why, Still I can trust you, waiting for a word, Or for no word, if no word ever come!" Is friendship just a thing of afternoons, Ot pleasuring one's friend and one's dear self?". No. Friendship Is not so. I am my own. And howsoever near my friend may draw Unto my soul, there is a legend hung Abovo a certain strait and narrow way Says, "Dear my friend, yo may not enter here!" I would the time had come—as it has not— When mon shall rise and say, "Ile is my friend. Ho has done this? And what is that to me? Think you I have a check upon his head, Or cast a guiding rein across his neck? I am his friend. And for that cause I walk Not overcloso beside him, leaving still Space for Ills silences, and space for mine," —Barbara Young, in the New York Times, GRE.ATINCAASE IN TEA CONSUMPTION Tho consumption of tea, it is esti- mated, increased in 1924 thirty-nine million pounds. The price, as a result, may go to $1.00 a pound, but even then, tea Is the cheapest beverage in the world—aside from water. ----- Making Most of it.

Some very beautiful choral music we heard recently reminded us of a I little speech Sit' Henry Wood once made to Sheffield choristers. "Now for your greatest fault!" he exclitimed.1 "Words!

A certain romance weaves its 'melt about the personality of the traditional helms -I man;—we picture a silent figure with eyes glued upon the Compass card, the light frpni the binnacle revealing a bearded face and gnarled hands grip- ping the spokes of the wheel, the only motion a light sway to the roll of the vessel and the movement.of the wheel as the ship requires helm 'to keep her ,upon the set course.

CHAPTER V.—(Cont'd.) lie was in a blind passion, You know the Garvock temper, Bobbie. And Ito came at me like a bull of Basilan! I suppose I wasn't ready for him. Ile got me clean in the pit of the stomach, and I just went down like a felled ox, I remember no more. Was he hurt, I wonder? Judy must have been at The Lees. Did she see or hear anything of him?" Sanderson shook his head. "Perhaps we can keep it from her," he suggested. "She has had u good deal to bear, one way and anther, he tt Garvocks while you've been away, peen." "From Peter Garvock, you mean?", "From him chiefly. I've never seen anything more splendid in its way than your sister's courage and re- sour('e," A mist swam before Alan Rankine's eyes. 'qt)otitr'trub it in, Bobbie. Don't I know "I'm glad, in a way, that she hasn't got to fight any more," pursued Sand- erson, in hie blunt, kindly way, "Not that sho fought in the ordinary sense. She had far too much good sense for that. But the way she managed her cousin was just great! Ho was as gentle as a lamb with her. There! were times when 1 wondered whether it might not have been a rather happy ending—you know what I mean." "Peter and Judy! Never in this world, Bobbie! That is the last thing on earth that ever could or ever would I happen. They exist on different planes." Bobbie made no answer to this. Ile I made few errors in judgment, and, though he had certainly been startled by the news of Peter Garvock's en- gagement to Carlotta Carlyon, he had , by no means parted with his convic- tion that Ju(lUh Rankine, tnore than anyone in the world, could manage the difficult master of The Lees, and bring out all that was best in him. Further, he was one of the unbe- lieving few who did not think tho hastily arranged match between two such unlikely and unsuitable people would ever take place, "Then you'll tell your sister about It, Alan—not to -night though. I think 1 must forbid another word being spoken. You must sleep on this night's work'?" "Judy's oyes are very sharp; but I won't speak to her about this till I'm obliged, Bobbie." "You won't, eh?" "No; because it has nothing what- ever to do with Stair." CIIAPTER VI. TIIE QUESTIONERS. The doctor had ridden up on his bi- cycle, which, hi an emergency call, especially on a Sunday, he generally found the quickest, as it is the hand- iest, means of transit. i When he left Stair, without seeing I, Miss Rankine again, he did not ride mit by the way he had come, but., quite deliberately and slowler, began to wheel his machine over the rough track of the hill towards the march I dyke and the low-lying roof of The I Lees. I Bobbib was extremely welcome in most of the houses he visited, and be- ing in constant attendance on the Gar- vocks, the mistress of which flineily he haclseen only yesterday, he had no qualm About the thing he was going to do. It was just possible that the Laird of The LOOS himself would require some attention after the bout by the march dyke, and that little detour might save him a second journey from A yr, I The twilight was closing in as he pushed the machine through the 1 shrubbery at The Lee8 and there left I it, leaning against. the shelter of a 1 sturdy- clump of laurels. Then pull- ing off his. gloves, he marched up to I tho. house door. He_eveas glad to be seen by Ramsay through the glass I door before he rang the bell. "Evening, Ramsay, Can I see Mr. ; Garvock?" . • "Yessir. ' He's in the library. I'm just taking the supper in in a few meenits," "1 won'e, keep him; thank you, I can -find, my way." . j Along the corridor strode Bobbie, and, ,after; a laid knock, introduced I himself to the interior of the library, where Peter Gary* was making 1 sonic attempt . to recover •from . the i fierce upheaval of .the afternoon, " Now these three men had all been boys together at school, and almost iniegarable in their younger manhood in Ayr; therefore, both at Stair and The Lees, Bobbie 'wne a privileged person, "Evoeing, Gdrvock," said Bobbie EIB he closed the door. "I thought as I'd been to Stair, I would come this length and see whether you needed any 'patching." Peter Garvock, very white -about the, gills, glared at Bobble. Sanderson's plein, freckled face sourly. "1 wish you'd mind your own busi- ness, Bobbie. You presume on your position. "I am minding -My own businesa," nnawerA Bobbie blithely, "As 10 pre. suming-1 don't do that,eyou know, Peter; and r thought it might relieve your mind to hoar that you hadn't killed Stair." "I wish I had!" answered Garvock, his color deepening to n purplish hue, and his vole thickening in his throat. "Don't wish that. Peterhead cli- mate may bo bracing, but the inside of the walls you and I snapshotted on our last cruise with the fishing smack are not too friendly. You're all right, then, and Stair got the worst of it?" "'Illiere's nothing the matter with me, and I will thank you to keep a quiet tongue in your head about my affairs," said Garvock sourly. "I believe I can do that," answered Bobbie etieily. "May I smoke?" • "I can't prevent you," answered Peter Garvock in his most discourag- ing tones. But Bobbie, who knew most of tho vagaries of his uncertain temper, and had no mind to be &coedited by them, sat down and pulled out his cigarette case. "I've had n day of sorts. I was at Cessnock on the back of four o'clock— twins, Garvock, so there will be no pickings now for tho hungry hangers- on at Cessnock gates! By half -past nine I had a message from tho other side of Greene!), and I was just think- ing 1 might sit down for half an hour when they came in from Tho Lees. Did you send them the message, Peter? it was very good of you. "I sent no message; and under- stand, Sanderson, once for all, that, this Ono I mean you to mind your own business. "I net minding it," repeated Bobbie imperturbnbly. "I don't think Stair is any the worse. A night's rest will put Ithn right if there is no internal mischief sets up. Your head must be uncommon hard, Peter, if that was your only weapon. IIave a smoke? Man, there isn't anything in the world worth all this fuss! Take it from a man who sees most of the game. Ride easy, go slow, keep a calm sough! ' That's the best—indeed, the only phi!. osophy of life," Peter Garvock declined the proffer- ed comradely smoke, and scorned the pholosophy; but he was quite conscious of the soothing quality of Bobbie San- derson's babble. Bobbie was a healer by birthright, as_well as by choice, and was as skill- ed in the treatment of diseases of the soul as of the body. Ho saw that I hatred—that poisonous venom—was working in the heart of Peter Garvoek, threatening to turn the little milk of human kindness it held to bitterest gall. And, naturally a healer, he made it his business in tho face .of much diseouragement, and neer the 00B0 of a long and strenuous day, to do tvhat he could. ltell you, you don't know what you're talking .about, Sanderson, and I'll he much obliged to you if you will make yourself ecarcel" I "Presently.

Indians Calied New Brunswick TAO "Muskequagtinn;" In early daya men, filled with that IOU) of adventure, says Canadian Forest and Outdoors, pushed their way through the forest Primeval ever looking for something new. Tbo ocean once conquered, the rivers drew thorn into the wilderneas and the Indluns came with birch bark canoes and paddled the white straws* ora far from the ships that had borne them over the seas. St. George, Now Brunswick, Ave miles from Passamaquoddy Day, was visited first by parties from Douchet's Island in 1604. The Indians told of a beau- tiful lake they called "Muskequa- gum" and the first white men to see the lake were from that hardy band who wintered on the St. Croix. Near- ly two centuries after descendants of the Indians, who paddled the French- men up the winding Maguadavio through the natural canal to "Mus- kequagum," paddled a number of Irish adventurers over the same course and one of the number over- come with the beauty of the scenery exclaimed: "It is Utopia" and the lake hos been Utopia since that time. "Lake Utopia" is of the beat in nature. Ito waters are the outpour- ings of a thousand springs; it receives the outlets of a dozen spring lakes, it lies surrounded by hills that run into n)ountains all decked with ever- green trees, its beaches are the work of a million years coining from the Red Granite hills that. surround it; a natural reservoir, when the Ma- gaguadavic goes on a rampage and its banks overflow, into Utopia the surplus waters rush, riving the lake a distinction shared by but one other lake in America in that its inlet is its outlet. Utopia had been the Mecca of the trout -seeking disciples of Isaac Wal- ton for years. A number of cottages are scattered about ,,its ahpres and many tarry round its waters during the summer season. In the fall na- ture decks the trees with magnificent coloring and game including Inoose, deer and bear abound, partridges and_ woodcockare plentiful and the sur- face of the lake in the early morn- ings and evenings is visited by black duck, sea ducks and geese. Realizing the beauty of Utopia and taking advantage of the generosity of nature, a number of citizens of St. George purchased a large block of land at the foot of the lake and are rapid.ly turning the wilderness into a park, The Red Man furnished the name, "Muskequagum," and the mint road follows the trail of the "Serpent," a one time legendary in- liabitant of Utopia. Humors of Censored Pilrns. Occasionally a film play from the United States is found unsuitable for exhibition in this country, and is either "cut" or forbidden. This would lead one to think that morals are more lax in the United States than in Canada, but in many cases the censorship is more exacting there than here. One State ordered a certain scene in a film play to be eliminated be- cause it showed a husband burning a letter he had received from his wife. It was argued that he might' tear the letter UD, but burning a wife's letter would tend to bring mar- riage into contempt. In Kansas any film which shows a person, man or woman, in the aot of smoking—pipe, cigar, or cigarette —is banned by the censor. It is evi- dent that a Sherlock Holmes film would have no chance in Kansas, for Holmes was always finding solutions, in smoke -wreaths. In New York the censor banned a certain film unless its title was al- tered, The title was "Tiger, Tiger," but the censor thought it offensive, because it might deceive people into' thinking that the play was in some way oonnected with natural history. Road Made of Gold. Parts of the road by which the Devonshire (England) village of Wldecombe is approached are metal- led with a peculiar type of granite, in Which a geologist has recently -dis- covered both gold and silver. ; It appears that a ton of this; pe- culiar rock may contain from three to thirty shillings' worth of gold, and asmuch as two-thirds f an o ounce of silver, worth_ rather less than fifty cents. Many tons of simi- lar rock have been buil a e t intot he walls lining the roads and enclosing_ the moor pastures in the neighbor- hood. Hundreds of tons of it occur among the loose boulders of barren granite strewn over the local inoor- land. The "vein" from which thesp gold - bearing boulders have been derived has notS et been discovered. Tho Handiest Nutnber. There is a peculiarity in connection with the figure 9 which is frequently turned to account in banks, where nine is consequently regarded as the handiest number. • When an error has arisen through a transposition of figures -about the most common error that is mad(i--it can be seen at once by dividing the amount short by nine. Invariably it comes out exactly, Suppose an error occurs in bring- ing out a cash settlement or a trial balance. If the amount short is di- visible by nine, it is a hundred to one that a transposition of figures is the cause. Suppose 69 has been put down in- stead of 96, the deficit will be 27, divisible exactly by nine; or that 623 has keen put down for 263; the sill' - plus will be 270, also divisible ex- actly by nine. This holds for any transposed ,numbers. Britain's Smallest House.

The word "true" means that the old Israel possessed only the semblance or shadow of the real fruitfulness implied in the con- ception "vine of God." Jesus and his followers, who are the true subjects of the loving favor of God, represent the real faithfulness which God seeks on earth. God is the keeper of the vine.

When caro is taken to familiarize oneself with the size, shape, blooming season, growing habits and general adaptability of a small selection and then plants and cares for them, he will almost at once that will become an inspiration within the neighborhood. Properly placing shrubs around a homestead is a comparatively simple task. In fact the very first rule to follow is to make it simple, and then make it natural or arrange it as near as possible like nature would have it. For a small home lawn, not more than five kinds should be arranged in groups near the corners of the lawn and about the base of the building. Shrubs may also be set to a hedge form to add grace to the picture or to hide unsightly objects. The placing of either individual shrubs or groups of shrubs in the centre of a lawn is not regarded with favor by author- ities and is always disappointing. Many varietieL of ornamental shrubs have been tested on the grounds of the Macdonald College at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec. Mr. T. G. Bunting, Professor of HortiCul-' ture, after checking over quite an extensive list, records the following as among the very best: 1. Philadelphus virginal, 2. Viburnum lantana, 8. Lonicera tatarica, 4. Spirrea Van Houttei, 6. Berberis Thunbergeri, 6. Syringe Vulgaris, Philadelphus virginal is spoken of have added groat charm to his home by• Professor Bunting as one of the finest of the mock orange group. Vi- burnum lantana is not so well known, but it is extremely hardy and very ornamental. The next three plants in the list aronll well known and may be depended upon to give satisfactory re- sults. Syringe vulgaris, otherwise known as the lilac, should be included in any list of the best six varieties. Of these there are many varieties, Probably the best are Abel Carriere, Charles X., Charles Joly, Emile Le- moine, Madame Lemoine, and Presi- dent Grevy, When it comes to the selection of low -growing evergreens, the following are all well known and very suitable: Pyramidal Cedar, Thuja occiden- talis pyramidalis; Globe Ware's Ce- dar, Thuja occidentalis globose War- reana; Savins Juniper, Juniperus sa- bine tamariscifolia; Virginia Juniper, Juniperus virginiana pfitzeriana. —Canadian Horticultural Council. 64.0.11.••••••••••••.6.814.4..• • '•:'• : • • • ,r • • ',4••••;.+, V. productiveness.

But it's a INTUITION IS STILL ILLUMINATE THE HIGHLY DEVELOPED NIAGARA CATARACT But Human Brain is Growing Smaller, Says Sir Arthur Keith. A despatch from London says: -Sir Arthur Keith, president of the An- thropological Institute, declares the human brain is growing smaller and he for ono is glad of it because less intellect gives man a better' chance at happiness, Besides, ho says, we don't need it, "The brain of primitive man," Keith explained, "was bigger than that of man to -day, Man's brain through the ages has been gradually getting smaller. "Tho villager who finds a country snowbound and wishes to walk to the next village has great difficulty find- ing his way, but once he arrives he has made the way easier for the next traveller. Each traveller snakes the path successively more easy for the next, "So primitive man with no foot- marks to guide him had to pioneer and nature gave him a big brain for solving the initial problems whereby he should have dominion over all the world, We have grown upon the ac- cumulated knowledge of our fore- fathers; there are fewer fresh prob- lems for our brains to tackle. The brain •has consequently dwindled in she according to its needs. "When nature schemed to raise man above the beasts, she had some idea of the dangers of intellect. Nature saw that if man's brain were to be all intellect, ho would become profoundly miserable, If the animal in us were entirely subjugated and reason be- came supreme, the human race would soon cease to exist. "Maybe we should all commit sui- cide. The fear of death and the love of life are the two bases of animal life. Reason would probably soon come to regard both as fallacies. So nature, that man might he happy, left him still largely an animal, "Broadly speaking, it . is only through the animal in ua that we get pleasure in life, When we were given a capacity to reason, we lost much of our animal power of intuition. "But one still finds forms of intui- tion highly developed in people, not- ably in women, I mean it in no dero- gatory sense when I say that women have been left a larger share of in- tuition than men because they have n smaller intellectual capacity."
