Her interesting concluslone are summarized by a French review- er whose article follows: "It appears from this investigation that 35 per cent, of children between six and fifteen years of age tell lies. and believe in their necessity. Wlih ablldren under flee, there is no con- scious falsehoods, that. Is, there are 00 false statements made with intent to receive; the Inexactitudes fre- quently 0ed^ell among tots of this age are simply products of the cre- ative Imagination. "From five to ten years the child generally lies from Imitation or to avoid punishment for some reproach from a playmate. In this last case, he !canna, in fact, an apprenticeship to the 'white lie,' which he will often employ later in life, in society or business. At thls period of his life, the child Is impreaeed with the num- erous advantages presented by the utilitarlun falsehood, which he ole- serves among adulto, and in which he is often made an accomplice. He concludes, quite naturally, that a lie Is of use In making existence easter. "Beyond the age of eight there appears what may be called the pa- pery Ile. The schoolchild lies to his teacher to make his school life more agreeable. The type of Ire in which a companion is accused as a means of self-defence is quite rare among chil- dren lass than ten years old, and is generally a sign of cbaracter. The leacher who discovers one of these delenelve lies ought to carefully seek for its secret causes, and give ills whole attention to developing a sense of reaponatbitfty In the young culprit, 'Dr. Buhler dietingulshee three kinds of Hes; the social Ile, whose obleot is to asetet someone else, the asociai'lle, dictated by personatneeds, though without intention to harm any one else, and the antisocial lie, inspired without regard to the dan- gers to which it may expose others. "The method to combat falsehood is above all the personal example. The teacher ought also try to inspire in the child a confidence that will be the best auxiliary to his task. "The habit of falsehood is always in danger of becoming so Inveterate that parents or teachers are confront- ed with a real manta, so rebellious to all correction, and so dangerous that it calls for the services of a specialist in pedagogical psychology." Sacred Japanese Treacur•ee. Japanese citizens recently passed through a period of great religions fervor in connection with the transfer of the "Sacred Mirror" to its newly constructed shrine. According to Japanese relives be - lista, the Sacred Mirror was the gift of Ama-terasu, the Sun -Goddess, the divine progenttrlx of the Japanese Imperial Family, to her heavenly grendson, who was despatched to conquer this earth and founded the Imperial Family. The mirror Is the most Important of the three treas- ures (the other two being the Sacred Sword and the Sacred Jewel Neck- lace), which constitute the symbols of sovereignty in Japan. The Shinto faith decrees that every twenty years a new shrine must be built to house the mirror. The Premier and other Government and Court officials super- intended the rites. Row to Tell Fishes' Age. Up to within a very short time ago it had been lni oseible to tell the age of a fish with any degree of accuracy. But now Prof. W. J, K. Harkness of the University of Toronto, declares that by looking Into the fish's oar one can tell its age. This scientific con- chraion will prove of value to fish can- neries and fishing preserve experts. In the internal ear of the fish there is a little bony pocket. In this pocket there is a tiny stone, called an "otolith," which rolls about as the Ash tips this way and that, and helps him to know if It is right side up. Ae the Sett grows older the otolith grows larger, Prof, Harkneae hae made a study of the rate of the oto- lith'o growth and can now tell from the size of this "ear -atone" just Low old the flah really is. The "White House," The White House, the name of the omctal residence at Washington of the United States President, derived Its name from a war -like action on the part of Britain 115 yeare ago. During the war of 1814 a British force captured Washington and set Are to the Presidential residence, which had been erected only a few years before, When It was restored it was found that the walls were so blackened by smoke that it was ne- cessary to treat them with several coatings of white paint. From that paint the house obtained its now offi- cially accepted name. A Travelling Plant. Some plante—Ilke people—love to go travelling and to see the world, and they manage their journey very cleverly. In Russia, for example, there is a plant called the "Whet Witch." When it Is grown-up the branches of its stalk curl down and pull up the plant by its root. Then It waits for a strong wind to court,. and carry it off to a new spot, where it takes root again end "sets up house" in fresh surroundings, Helgoland Becoming Smaller, Repeated stores la teceet years have little by little eaten away the coastli„a of the island of lfeligoland and given rise to the fear that eveut- ually the whole island w:'1 disappear, A severe storm receutly resulted in a oonsiderable piece of the island slip - pins into the North Sea, taking with it three houses, a water reeervoir and two storage sheds.

LIMITED TORONTO ALSO AT MONTREAL VANCOUVER Corn Borers Act At a recent conference at Lond n of the corn borer inspect.trs and the Provin- cial Entomologist it was slated that many farmers were under the impression that because the Borer had been reduce d in Most of the counties under the Act, it was no longer a serious menace, and therefor the Act would not be strictly enforced this year. If this statement was correct it is unfortunate and very misleading. As stated by Professor L. Caesar, Pro. vincial Entomologist, the Borer is just as dangerous an insect today as it ever was and all it needs to enable it to play havoc with our corn is to be given a chance such as it would have if the Corn Borer Act unenforced. Corn growers in Ontario will have to become accustomed to the fact that cleaning up corn thoroughly each spring will henceforth be a regular part cf faun operations. There is nu other known of combating the borer. Even in Europe this is the only way of preventing heavy losses, The Corn Borer Act will be enforced this year as in former years. Every man will be required to clean up the corn rem • nants on his properly either by gathering or burning them or by plouging them under and not dragging them up later, The Corn Borer Inspector for Huron Co., Mr. C. Ginn, states that the clean up in the past has been satisfactory. The same procedure must be followed this year and in future years. Non-enfoicement of the Act would be the undoing of all ac- complished so far in the control of this pest and would soon reautt in the ruin of the !tepee of all to whom corn is a valu- able crop. Alfalfa or clover hay fed from racks forms an excellent roughage for brood sows. Roots are also good but may not always he available. The meal ration may vary considerably but should not be too strong. Bran shorts, ground oats and ground barley in equal parts, if fed judiciously at from two to six pounds daily, depending on the size and condition of the sow as well as the period of preg• honey, has been found to give good food results. Mineral feeds are usually ailent- ial and may be supplied either by sods or a suitable mineral mixture containing charcoal, ashes, bone meal, etc. FOR SALE -Eggs for hatching, horn pure bred White Leghorn hens, Apply to Mrs. Chris Rogerson.
