The word "Scout" really means "a lookout"; setae one Who is seat soinewhere to get the: lay of the land, to find out what is what, and profit by the knew - ledge thus gained; The only =maul - ton which Scouts use are the brain, "body and soul', furnished to them in wiledin hiSsary.

' 'There is nothing better fer the boy than Scouting, and nothing better for community than Boy Scouting; unless the day shall come, when human beings are broad and splendid enough to Agree that for boys to strive and work and play and banin together un- der proper supervision, will produce the right sort of pal -like relationshifh aniong them,: and the sort of 'Manhood which oue forefathers: anticipated when they ,established the beginnings of our„edorious Empire., Navajo Blankets. , • It ,appears that Navajo blankets were at first the product of men's hands, but that the women of the tribe are the exclusive workers in this in- dustry at present. . • Almost the only modern implements that are employed in the °weaving are the hand cards, wire toothed combs -for the wool, and *shears with ,whieh to make cuttings. The frames are made of rude poles with the beams *held in place by rawhide ropes. The Indian puts his frames on up- • rightusually- staked and lashed to a tree in front of hia “hogan" or house. " The women do the weaving,, squatted upon the ground with legs folded ender thme. They are close enough to reach to either side of the blanket or halfway up. When the work has prciceeded to a height when it is uncomfortable for them to reach they tilt the looin so that they may continue ein their original position. The spindle in use is that of a hun- dred years ago -ea stick through the centre of a wooden disk. The work is exceedingly slow; an inch or two is a day's work on the better grades.. The best •blankets are made of fine native wool, spun to a tension that makes them almost as durable as steel; with dyes that last forever. The coarser grades of blankets have but few flecks, of coleis, being ueually• white, gray or brawn, The Navajo women display an in- teresting imagery in their designs 'Vat imagery is largely confined to the'color scheme, as everything on is a copy of something that the weav- ers have seen.

MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. aIlddleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat • tees through this column, Address him at‘Spadina H�tise, Spadlaa Crescent, Toronto. A little girl ran away frcen•hoine recently to avoid taking lessons on the piano. Her parents tried to 'make a musician out of her, althc.egh she .hail ne taste for Music. I'i thus forc- ing the child to take music lessons they were spending money foolishly and bringing much unhappiness to the whole family. At the came time they were showing to their friends and to the whole country how little they knew of psychology. Psychology, to many people, is a Strange word, a word about which lit- tle is known. In reality it, is a word that should be well understood by everybody, because it is of tremen- dous importance. Every human jeeing to -day has likes and .dislikes, has a taste for one thing or another, or a leaning toward S some partiCular oc- cupatien or hobby. You cermet find two people exactly alike, it is ,clahned, either in looks or in personality. Well then, to get the Best out of people of whatever age, but particuleely among the young, to help them to help themselves along the lines to whieh they are best suited by temper- ament, education or natural bent, is /what is meant by psychology. Twenty leading American psycholo- gists, including Presrdent Angell of Yale University, have formed an in- corporated company known as the Psychological Corporation. The first practical application of psychology made by the corporation was the Se - 7 lection of its own force of steno- graphers. Applicants in response to an advertisement in the newspapers were onfronted by a set of psycho- logical tests instead. of the usual questions. "The girls selected by the tests have proved thoroughly com- petent,” declared the secretary of the corporation. "I can tellegnore about a girl in half an hour by such a test than I could by having her work in the office fori three weeks." Gradually the work is being ex- tended to apply tests for different ages and conditions. How often we see the need' of this in our own little circle of acquaintances where a man or woman is doing some kind of work they are not interested in, just be- cause somebody else thought it would be the best thing to do. I personally know a civil engineer who always re- grets he did not study medicine, even though his father had urged him to take engineering. He is only doing mediocre work in consequence because his heart is not in his oceupation. Similarly I know a manufacturer who carried on the business left him by his father, although he was always keen to,be a lawyer. It is in circum- stances like these, and they apply to practically everybody in all walks of life, that we see the need of psy- chology. When it becomes more widely extended there will be less -restlessness in the economic world, and- work,instead of being a boredom will become a labor of love. Baiting,,the Fishing Hole. Most river fish like a regular place to feed, where they can go for their food at certain hours of the day, es- pecially in the early morning. In choosing a place to bait, pick one where it is easy to land your catch, where the water is from five to fifteen feet deep, with low batiks. You have a better chance then to fight it out with a big fellow and can get to him after he is exhausted. The very best fighters in the stream, the buffalo fish and the carp, the drum and the eat, are among those that visit a place that has been baited; so you must prepare for the big ones. In baiting a place to fish you can throw the feed into the water to sink, or put it into a bag. Puttingtit into a bag is the bet- ter way, The fish suck round a sun- ken ibag and feed upon the waste as it oozes out. If the feed is thrown loose into the water, it may spread over too muoh area, and it does not last long enough. Stich things as bread, potatoes, cern meal or beans can be used for bait, particularly in the early spring. In the summer, when corn is in the roast- ing ear, there is nothing better. Mere- ly cut the grains from the cob and put tvvo to four gallons into a, bag. Fasten a long wire to the hag and sink the bait where you intend to- fish, Tie the wire to the bank, so that you can pull the bag. in and rebait it; but you will have to bait a new hole when you have scared the fish away from the first one. It is best to wait' two days after placing the befit before you try to fish, although the fishing may be good the first morning after, Do not afloat,' any disturbances on the ,bank. Move- ments of persons, dogs or other things will scare the big ones away. The sound of running feet or beating upon the ground disturbs the fish at a great depth. If you want to get the big rel. lows, keep quiet.

Nature intended every girl and every 1 woman to be happy, active and healthy. Yet too many of them find their lives 1 saddened by suffering—nearly always because their blood is to blame. All those unhappy girls and women with colorless cheeks, dull skins, and sunk- en lustreless eyes. are in this condi- tion because they have not enough red blood in their veins to keep them well and fa the charm of health They suf- fer from depressing weariness and periodical •headaches. Dark lines from under their eyes, their heart pal- pitates vicarritly after the slightest ex- ertion, and they are often attacked with fainting spells. These are only a few of the miseries of bloodleSsness. When the blood becomes thin and watery it e,an be enriched through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the troubles that come from poor blood disappear. In almost every neighborhood you will fled some form- erly ailing woman, or pale breathless girl who has a goad word to say for this medicine. Among them there is Miss Laura Monaghau, Campbellton, P.E.I., who says:—"Befare using ,Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was in a badly run down condition. I was pale, thin and scarcely able to go about. The least exertion made my heart palpi- tate so violently that I actually was afraid one of those spells might carry me off, Often my nights 'were sleep- less, and as the treatment I was tak- ing did not help me I was almost in despair. Finally a friend advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in the course of a few weeks after be ginning this treatment there was a decided improvement in nty condition. I continued using the pills, and am now enjoying good health. I am glad to give yocm my experience in the hope thlat some other sufferer, may find tho way to better health."

(IIILD1100D INDIGESTION Nothing is more common in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing is more dangerous to b'roper growth, more weakening to the constitution or more likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in indigestion. There is uo medicine for little ones to equal Baby's Own Tablets in relieving this trouble. They have pro,ved of benefit in thousands of homeska Concerning them Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception, Que., writes: • "My baby was a great sufferer from indigestion, but the Tablets soon set her right and now I would not be without them." Baby's -Own Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Lucky Horseshoe's. • Why do we regard horseshoes as lucky? Many people believe that the superstition comes from the sea -god Neptune, whose horses were looked upon as sacred. A horsehoe -nicked up on the road was suposed to belong to one of them. But the truth is that the horse is the national animal of the English peo- ple. The first Saxons who came to this country were Hengist and 'Horse, both of whose names mean horse. Smiths were regarded with peculiar reverence, since theirs washeld to be almost a sacred art. DO not forget that a horseshoe is lucky only if its points face you as you find it, for luck streams out from them. If it is lying the other way, walk round it until you are opposite the points- then pick it up and carry it with th,points uppermost. Nail it on your door in the same position. Good fortune will then be showered—so says the old belief— over your house. If the points are downward as it hangs on the door, the lucky influences will pass into the earth and be lost. - England's Last Invasion. .Althotigli we have lately passed through the greatest war in history, we must go farther back to find the last' time that our island was actually invaded by a foreigit enemy—that is to say, the last time a foreign invader actually stepped on British soil, says a London newspaper. The man who led the invasion was an American adventurer, named Col- onel Tate. His force of fifteen hun- dred men—most of them French ex - convicts and rascals—landed in Cardi- gan Bay, without opposition on our part, on one spring day in 1797. They were merely a "side-show" in France's unsuccessful attempt to land. troops in Ireland, and they did no dam- age. After twenty-four hours, our own troops were hurried up to en- gade them, and Colouel Tate offered to surrender on terms. His offer was not accepted. He then surrendered unconditionally. No foe has suceeeded in landing on British soil since. And let us hope no foe ever will( A, rooster strolling about the barn- yard stumbled onto an ostrich egg, he looked it over and rolled it into the hen house where the hens were and said, "Now, ladies, I do not want to embarrass you, bet I just want to show you what other folks are doing."

Owing to the pressure of increased rates and taxes', the Duke of Richmond and Gordon has announced that he in- tends to sell the entire famous Hunt- ley estate, comprising 60,000 acres in Aberdeenshire. The Duke says that from his property, in many casese alt that comes to him out of a pound rental are two shillings, with which he must meet the cost of upkeep and build new houses. A year ago the Duke intimated that he was 'ready to sell, but his tenants asked him to reconsider, and said they were pre- pared to give financial assistance— which was regarded as remarkable testimony to his popularity. The sale will bring to end one of the most historical territorial con- nectious in the British Isles.
