If your pictures Have been hung with a wire corning to a point at the moulding and forming a V shape, try hanging them with two wires,- each wire being vertical, thus agreeing with ` the vertical line of the frame. The other way is inartistic and not restful to the eye. If your'woodwork is'tan, light brown or yellow, dye your white win- dow curtains cream color. They will harmonize with the wood work and. give a warm glow to the room. The dyeing is very simple. Purchase a pound of yellow ochre at any paint on hardware store. This will cost less than ten cents and is enough for six or seven usings. Put a little of this powder into a small salt bag and tie up the top. Dip this in a pan of water until the seater becomes the desired shade. After the curtains have been washed, dip them in this solution until they are the right color remembering that they will dry lighter. Stretch them if possible. If not, hang them up I before ironing as rolling will often leave them streaked. Enamel a few oli•re bottles of good lines, in bright colors to harmonize with the room. Absolutely no arti"tic skill is necessary. Simply purchase a small can of enamel and a brush and - paint right on the glass. If you de- sire light },lues, rose color or other light colors mix white enamel with the color. Clean the brush with turpen- tine. The plain black vases are very attractive. Mudding branches, pussy willows or flowers in a new vase of the right color will add a bright touch to a room. If you possess an old-fashioned china closet containing a motley arr,ey of dishes, curtain it with cretonne, or gingham. Eliminate all unnecessary bric-a- brac, photographs and calendars. There is no rule better than the old one of William Morris': "Have no- thing in your home that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful," and it can be applied to every e e home. y SHOULD WE ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS. A child is b nature a questioner y t eq one and seeker of knowledge. In trying to know himself and the world about him, he asks questions of everyone who comes his way. But many, too many, of these questions pass unanswered or are evasively answered. Questioning is thinking. When a child asks questions he is thinking and his mind is growing. Whether. we answer hisquestions or not, an o,ad how we answer them influences the extent of development of the child's mind. If we answer the child's ques- tions honestly, truthfully and under- standingly, his mind will grow stead- ily and as surely as his healthy body grows. If the parents and others turn the child aside with an excuse that they must not be bothered with questions and "to run along and play," it forces the child's mind into a rut, robs the child of the thrill of learning, and of discovering new things, and dulls his enthusiasm for knowledge. We recall the incident of the little boy who had listened to a very impres- sive ghost story as narrated by an elder friend. Hurrying home he asked his father, "What is a ghost, daddy?" "It is a boogy man who will get you if you're not a good bay," answered the father as he went on about his work. This little fellow went through boy - WOMEN!

Likewise, the old saw about "an ounce of prevention." I have found it both practical and desirable, when .making night gar- ments, shirts or pajamas, to put in a double back as far as the waist. It le a good plan to do the same with the girls' heavier nightdresses, as they, rco, are prone to wear but and split down the back. Kitchen aprons are best made with a double front breadth from the waiet to the knee. Put the patch, or extra piece, on' with the right side down. Then, when there is a tear or a break in the front, the patch is all in place and, of course, will match the apron emeltbetter roara new piece would. I find it an economy of time and labor to sew a -sizeable piece of old stocking leg on the inside of the boys' new stockings, from the knee down about six inches. Double -kneed stock ings are obtainable in most shops. Double -kneed overalls are too; and I insist on that style of garment, though they are a little more expensive than! the plain variety.

The report states Unit the area of the inland lakes of the province totals 20,000 square miles, of which hake Winnipeg, with go area of 15,266 square mules, 10 tbo largest. In addition, Manitoba has some 440 miles of shore line on the. salt waters of Hudson Bay. The waters are more or less liberally stocked with several species•—estini- ated at fifty.three—of valuable fresh- water fsh, of which whitefish, Pick- erel, trout and &tua•geos aro the most important from 1. commercial stand- point. Seinethreethousand tons of fish are annually taken from the 'Manitoba lakes. Little trouble is experienced in catching the fish, but transporting the Product to the nearest rallway,pointee and thence to market, is outs of the biggest obstdcles whlph the Manitoba Ash operator bas to overcome. .As the niajor operations are carried on In ' Lake Winnipeg during the early spring months, it is necessary to transport the fish by sleighs to the railhead, a distance of 100 miles or better. The flak are frozen as 80011 as caught, packed In wooden boxes weighing 126 lbs. each, and approximately 180 pack- ages loaded on a sleigh. Before ship. ping, the fish are carefully packed In refrigerator cars and expressed to various 'markets. • Keen Export Demand for Whitefish. Approximately' seventy -Ove per cent. of the total Catch is made up of white fish, and as there Is a strong demand for this species, little trouble has been experienced in building up good mar- kets to dispose of the catch, and oper- ators are assured at all times a ready sale as well as a. profitable price for their product. Shipments are regu- larly made egu-larly'made to Wasters and Eastern Canadian points, as well as to Minne- apolis, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Pittsburg, New York and other American cities. It is interesting to note Is regard to the fisheries of Manitoba that the Pro vinalal and Federal Governm•.o•e have been and are active in the Coneerva- Lion of the fisheries as well as the propagation of same. Hatcheries have been established at Selkirk, Gull Iiar. bour, Dauphin River and Winnipeg- osis. Millions of eggs, fry or older fish are distributed from these hatcheries in surrounding waters. THE GLADIOLUS The gladiolus is a flower that is not grown as largely as it deserves. Prob. ably the two main reasons for this are, first, that it is not sold In the nommen seed packets; and, second, it is very easy to lose one's whole stock of gladi- oli if one dig them in k forgets to he g fall, for, like potatoes, they will not stand the winter's freezing in the ground By getting a Mow bul:.s to start with, however, one may soon increase one's Stock; and there is 'scarcely any finer cut flower that will thrive and some to perfection In our latitude.

On account of the limited top growth --only half a dozen or less sword -like leaves and a single flower spike—one may plant the bulbs Quite closely together, say six inch s or less apart in the row. Give a srnny location, not too close to buildings, and cultivate lightly throughoutthe season. A single good epilce will bear about olglrteen flower burls. pito greatest satisfaction is °brained by cutting the spike when the llrst bud opens and al. lowing the flower to develop indoors. Every bud will open and more delicate coloring will develop than would be possible if heft In the sun.
