The girl smiled on him, as if she bad

LEARN TO TRINEE.
Most of 1:'s Arc Asleep as to a Large
Part of Our Ability.
A fault with most of us is that
we never learn to think. Thousands
of men, lacking a good education,
practically throw away precious
hours because they never learn to•
think. Systematic thinking is the
best possible discipline. Happy is
the youth that has formed the fixed
habit ot self-improvement, that is
always trying to make himself a
little better prepared for his op-
portunity when it comes. Tell me
how a young man uses his little
ragged edges of time after his clay's
work is done, and what he is re-
volving in his Hund at every oppor-
tunity, and I will tell you what that
young man's future will be, says a
writer.
Thousands of persons have, in
their spare moments, through sys
tematie courses of reading and
study furnished by some of our,
splendid correspondence schools
obtained a better education than
have many that have gone through
college.
The trouble with young people is;
not that they du not possess success;
qualities, but that in most of them'
the qualities are latent, inactive. ,
There is now and then a man that;
gets thoroughly aroused. We de--!

'Why Spraying Is Necessary.
Past and gone are those days
when large crops of perfect fruit,
uninjured by eareulio, codling moth
or scab, could be harvested with-
out thought of sprays and spray
pumps, of lead arsenate or paris.
greets, of lime -sulphur and bo1'd-
eaux mixture, and of other treat-
ments for the troubles which con-
test the modern fruit grower's suc-
cess, writes Mr. J. G. Sanders,
In the early days, young orchards
required but little care after plant-
ing, other than occasional cultiva-
tion, until in due time the perfect,
unblemished fruit teas gathered. A
gradual change has taken place
with the introduction and dissem-
ination of new insect pests and
plant diseases; until now spray ap-
paratus and materials are abso-
lutely necessary.
These changing conditions have
taught us a strong lesson of the pos-
sibility of even More disastrous in-
troduction of pests. There are still
many serious pests in foreign lands
which have not become established
: in our country, but doubtless will
be sooner or later if systems of
rigid inspection of imported plant
material are iiot soon inaugurated.
An insect dr disease:which is unim-
portant its its native land, may be-
come a serious menace, when placed
tinder new conditions and environ-
' ment, where climate is favorable
and natural enemies are lacking_
The awakening of the entomolo-
gists and the public in general to
the clanger of introducing serious
insect pests and fungus diseases
was caused more largely by the in-
troduction of San Jose scale' than
any other one factor. No other in-
sect has caused so much expense
and legislation as the San Jose
scale (a harmless insect in its na-
tive home in central China), which
infests a wide range of fruit trees
as well as many ornaments. If
there had been no inspection ser-
vice during the last fifteen or more
years, this pest would now be found
in every county and township
in Canada where deciduous trees
are growing. The damage caused
by this tiny insect wad early recog-
nized by entomologists and means
were sought to prevent its spread,
But before adequate means of con !
trol were discovered it had gained
a foothold in many sections of some'
of -the country, and in spite;
of all precautions has gradually
spread.
What is true of fruit trees is also.
true of shade trees. Take, for in-;
stance, the injury to our beautiful;
birch trees by insects. Such a gen-:
eral destruction of birch trees in
ornamental planting has occurred
in the last four or five years!
throughout some sections that the;
attention of a great many people;
has been attracted to the loss. Sev-.
oral theories have been advanced
for the gradual dying of the birch:
trees, but the real cause is the'
bronze colored beetle.
The small white larva of the'
bronze birch -borer burrows just be -1
neath the bark, eating its way ir-
regularly around the trunk and
limbs of the tree in the sap -hearing
layers, leaving winding galleries of
castings and cutting off the flow of
sap beyond the point attacked. 00
the younger branches these wind-
ing galleries are revealed by the
corresponding ridges on the exter-
ior of the limb.

SECRETS OF CIIE1IISTRI'.
Opportunities for Aehiering Paine
or Fortune, or Roth.
It was announced a few weeks
ago that a distinguished chemist of
the Imperial Technical School of
Moscow had salved the problem of
snaking, artificial rubber, and that
he could sell the new product at
about 1s. 4d. a pound, says London
Tit -]lits.
Yet, in spite of this widely dis-
seminated piece of news, the price
of rubber remains pretty much the
same. The reason may be found by
examining the patent office records.
During the last ten or twelve years
nearly 300 patents for artificial rub-
ber,have been taken out:
Substitutes have been made from
petroleum, from coal tar, turpen-
tine, peat, from nitrated linseed
oil, and by treating cereals with
phyalin..
The latter invention made a con-
siderable sensation so long ago as
1906; yet, judging by the, constantly
increasing demand fon' the natural
product, it has had little effect upon
the real rubber market.
The -chemist, working in his la-
borattory can take any substance
and analyze it—that is, break it up
into its original constituents, and
tell you what they are, and how
notch of each element the sub-
stance in question is composed of.
But when it comes to•building up
the original substance out of its
prime constituents, there he is at
sea. By dint of long and patient
experiments, or perhaps by pure
chance, - he may succeed in repro-
ducing some few natural products,
but that is as far as he can go.
Indigo dye took many years to
synthesize. A German chemist ac-
complished it at last, but the curi-
ous discovery was made that. if
blended with the natural product
made from the indigo plant, the
color produced was bods more dur-
able and brighter than that made
by either dye alone. So artificial
indigo has not yet ruined the indigo
planter.

plied in spring before egg laving

Until this serious infestation

Disinfecting Cow Ste:ides.
Disinfectants cannot destroy
germs if they do not come into di-
rect contact with them. Disinfec-
tants should be applied in sufficient
quantity thoroughly to saturate .the,
sul'faces, after the adhering part-
icles of dirt are removed. In the
application of the disinfectant in
cow stables, it is well tb use a
broom or stiff brush and thoroughly
scrub the floor, feed troughs,
stanchions and lower parts of the
walls. The solution can he applied
to the ceilings and tipper parts of

:WALE ED ON OUR ARM S.
Ilabit Still Clings, Which Is Why
'll'e Saving '.Theal.
T£ you watch people walk .you
twill Note that nearly all of them
move their arms. If they walk
slowly the movement of their arms
is scarcely perceptible; if they walk
rapidly their arms generally swing
vigorously,
Most people believe this swinging
of the arms as they walk is merely
a natural swaying motion, caused
by the movement of the body just
as the -tassel of. an umbrella will
swing when .one is walking with it,
but this -is by no means the reason.
The swinging of the arms is natural
enough, but the nature of it elates
away back to those unknown days
when man. was a quadruped.
Of course, when than was a four -
footed animal he walked with his
"arms" as well as his legs, and
even to -day after the thousands
upon thousands of generations that:.
have passed since he assumed an
upright position, evel'y time he
takes a step his arm moves a trifle,
involuntarily, as though desirous of
taking a step in its turns just as it
did when 11 man, then four -footed,
pranced tap and down the etu'th.
Many persons can move their
ears a trifle, many can move their
scalps, and there is an abundance
of ]fair scattered about our sins
and Pegs, now useless, but .still the

Primroses For Failing Memory.
The •primrose of old was credited
with a medicinal as well as a super-
stitious value. Even now in some
country parts a decoction .of prim-
rose leaves is supposed to restore -a
failing memory, and in 1054, when
Culpeper wrote his "London Dis-
pensatory," the primrose was re-
garded as an almost universal pan-
acea, curing "convulsions, falling
sickness, palsies, eto.," and
strengthening "t.he brain, senses
and memory exceedingly," And
even the healthy did not disdain to
eat it, for primrose pastry was once
a popular Lancashire delicacy.

The oldest legends of n.ntiCIL dir,Y
tell us whist a mysterious newel..
t.
the men cat these days sometimes
attributed to nnt:'it'. The songs of
Orpheus altcl the sound of his lyre
even, it is said, attracted wild
busts, w'hic'h came crawling up.to
listen at. his feet, vanquished, The
all-powerful twenty of the song of
-his hero even softened the hearts
of the pitiless divinities of I'11t<les, •
M. Nitello, in an article on this
subject published in Medicine, re-
calls holy, ;o the sound of Ann•
phion's lyre; the stones became
animated and came to place them-
selves one upon another to build
the City of Thebes.
It is difficult to take these pretty
legends literally; it is perhaps .
more rational to believe Old Homer
when he says that when Ulysses had
been wounded by a wild boar, mu-
sic made him forget the pain, That
is the first sasses on record in which
a remedy is sought in this art.
The Greeks claimed that l:senla-
pins was a son of Apollo, Though
it is no longer possible to believe,
in accordance with this legend,
that Medicine is 'the daughter of
Music, at least it is permissible to
think, says M. Nitello, that they
are two sisters, the elder of which
sometimes gives'aid to the other,
!tenets on Lunacy. - .
But to leave this distant period
and oome down to Celsi, it is seen
that this doctor recognizes already
the fiction of music on the minds'of
lunatics. Then this same art is in -
cheated by various authors 00 a
remedy for :the most diverse ail-
ments. Gallen 1'eolmmcnds it for
snake bites; Athenctt, Theophras•
taus and Aulu Gele believe in its
happy influence on sciatica and
gout; Theocritus and Males see in
it a means of contending against
peat.
It is especially in the treatment
of neri7ous diseases that music '.las
given the best results. Cases of
hysteria and epilepsy seem some-
times to have been cured by con-
certs, The attack; treated at the
start, ceased and subsequently oc-
curred more rarely and ended by
not appearing any more.
For a long time past musioother-
any has been employed in a ration-
al manner.. It has been used in the
treatment of macimen. Esquirel
organized concerts at Chareaton,
but he was not very well `satisfied
with the results obtained. In 1840
Leuret, at Bieetre, renewed the
sante attempt, but also without,
much success, Since this period at-
tempts have often been made to di-
vert madmen in this way. It would
appear that in the treatment of
madness music ]las not given the
good results expected. But if the
experiment has not been a success
it may be because music is felt in a
different manner by every human
being and the more so must that be
the case with those who are dis-
eased,
