PLAY VS. RESPONSIBILITY.
When the discussion of Mary's or
Johnnie's behavior is current at the
Club, ,one often hears a mother say, "I
let, my childreir play, for when they
grow up they will have to work hard
enough' to snake 'up for it.". Such
statements always cause me to Wr.n-
der if that mother is considering the
i'utui:e life training of her child.
The childhood spent in play does
not, give adequate preparations for
the work to be done "in- •Manhood or
Womanhood, Childhood:; is• indeed the
time forp lay, and we, should not ex-
pect a child to do things as grownups
do: But if he is not trained to as-
sume certain -responsibilities ` gradu-
ally, he will not lie prepared to share
his part in the game of life when he
leaves the paternal sod.
A very successful experiment in.
child education has beeii conducted at
the Lincoln School in connection with.
Columbia University, New York. The
average child's school curriculum is
planned upon the principle" that school
training prepares a child for' the life
theytvill live in after years. But at
the Lincoln School, the pupils areen=
souraged to•feel that -in school they
are already living their own lives
with 'opportunities and responsibil-
ities that will naturally flow on as
,tine passes: They sire' taught to
think and observe for themselves: By
many of our noted educators, ' this
plan has been pronounced as highly
successful. ,
-Mother may . think she is helping
her children by waiting upon them,
but in xeelity she is harming them.
When the tine comes for them to de-
pend upon themselves, thee. training
Is laadequate, and they .fail.
A child's training with regard to
reapensibilities should begin- in :baby
hood, As soon es he is old enough
to walls across the floor and play with
a ball he should be taught to put the
hall in place before he goes to bed.
As his playthings become more num-
erous, gradually he will, learit-to take
rare of them when he is through with
them.
As he grows older he is bronghb to
realize thet'"eaoh' one in the fancily
circle has his work to do, and that.
fax the love of the home he trust do
his part. If a child is dative in doing
his part of theWotk at, home, he will
not shirk when' be takes up his res -
possibilities in the outside world.
SETTING- TiE. COMPANY TABLE.
Select tate centrepiece with care. In
summer a small vase of flowers is
usually; available, . and in Winter a
pretty potted plant makes a good sub-
stitute. Hate the pot carefully dress-
ed in tissue paper or linen,' and tied`
With ribbon to match any color
scheme you wish to carry out, Never
;have your centrepiece too large, for.
• it is unpleasant not to' be able to see
the guests on the opposite side ef tho
table. . •
In placing the silverware and other
accessories a balance must ,be
taieed in order to make the whole
pleasing to the eye.
The :knife is used in the right hand,
therefore it is placed at the right of
the cover, with•tlte sharp edge toward
Die plate. The forks are _placed: at
the left of: the .cover' with tines: up.
The first fork to be used—which w is
usually the :salad fork—is the one

TIMING A PHONE CALL.
Next time you have to make a long-
distance telephone call, take, your egg-,.
timer- hourglass • to the telephone,
stand and turn it when- you start to
talk. Then, with this before you, you
can be sure of your time and can
gauge it and say what you have to
say. A. good thing to do in making a
long-distance call is to note upon ,m
sheet of paper, briefly, what you wish
to say, In this way nothing is over-
looked and you can talk quickly, re-
ferring eyes on

guarding against any needless extra

ad from the garden.
, Here vegetables are washed and
'prepared for cooking.before they are
taken into the kitchen, n'ieh are
cleaned here, keeping the odor and

"My child, don't talk nonsense,

Alice retired, baffled.. She believed':

about Thiele John and his past, but
he had every right: to expect his sec-
ret .to be dcept and no one could keep.
secrets better than leer mother. Alice
had been troubled mainly by,,, that
name "Hugo" slipping air her,inoth-
er's tongue now and again. . Her
father's name had been Hugo. But
she called to. mind the mother :of a
echool *friend whose three daughter's!
names : were always hopelessly en-
tangled.. Old llfrs. Crank invariably
said Elsa or Evelyn first when speak-
ing of Mabel, and vire versa. Per -
baps it was the same with her mother,
although she had never noticed the
failing before.
Jean had satisfied her that Uncle
John was not her.,' father—a father
who must :have disgraced himself'in
some way. to make a disguise neces-
sary. He was just a queer old man,
a relative who had' eo be looked after,
and she felt that site had not 'been
nearly sympathetic enough in coneid-
ering what this burden must mean to
her mother. She had been absorbed
in her own love affair, selfish to a de-
gree and'so egotistically thin-skinned
and foolish about . every little thing,
even fancying absurdities conietning
that gay Mrs.. Egan, who was prob-
ably a most hatenless creature:
Alice said her prayers that night
with more than ordinary devotion. It
was a sort of satisfaction to kneel on
the disagreeably cold tiled floor and
petition for greater humility:She had
so much for which to be thankful,: so
little of which .to complain, and die-
tinctly she had shown a lack of grati-
tude.
She went on pretyhng"in a Tess fenn-
el way long after she was in bed
"to be made a better girl."
-No doubt Philip had noticed her im-
perfections, ;too. She had been so
unkied•.about his friend Mrs; Egan.
Unfortunately it was`•too latetorec-
tify that, at least 'for the moment,
Mare. Egan had left Bordighera. Alice
sighed deeply. Why couldn't she
having prayed so hard for huinility—
be truly sorry that Mrs, Egan had
gone? ,
`The morning brought more cheerful
feelings, Philip, was leaving for

was les much as she could do, however,

Quicksands found inland,' in river

caused by underground springs. But
quicksand, Is not a special sort of
sand. Any line -grained sand becomes
quick in the oireufnstances described.
,,Despite the fact that he has had, to

Baetler of -Johns Hopkins Medical
School, continues to persist in his in-
vestigations.
When Sand is "Quick.".
At low:tide:. one can "walla on the
Goodwin Sands with safety,'says an
English writer. Cricket matebes have

Yet "when the tide is coming in the

thing -upon its surface.

quicksand, take two jam -pots and fill
both with dry sand. • It takes a ,good
deal of force to push ad uncut pencil
to the bottom of either jar. Dampen
the sand in one' jar, and itis still @if-
flenit to penetrate, but soak it -mix
with a quantity of water, and keep the
mixture • stirred — and the .pencil
pierces to the bottom with ease.
This shows 'tile- secret of quicksand.

which is constantly coming in from

And there was no sadness in his de-

legal residence -for the hurried wed-
ding. -.
Mrs. Carney found her lack of
Mende and close relations a positive
boon just now. There was nobody to
wag a;, head and forefinger and tell
her Chet she was foolish in permitting
Alice to marry: upon so short an en-
gagement, so . short an acquaintance
even. Explaining to the Christopher
.Smarles was a simple matter. • One
need not explain to them. Her life
and Alice's had become -so vague to
people at home that they were no
more than shadows. Even Hector
Gaunt did not know how briefly Alice'
and; Philip had known each other.
But the' mother, with her deeper in-
sight, realized that it seemed to.the
couple most concerned as though they
had known each, other all their lives,
and perhaps'befeee that. Love is the
one • thing which, takes no measure
from time. Indeed, *fey often spoke
of their brief meeting in Rome two
years ago as tlte beginning of mutual
Understanding, and. Mrs. Camay, in
men oeing it to Gaunt or to Hugo,
dated the attachment from Rome. --
She felt guilty about it, of course;
Abe passed her ,whole life in feeling.
guilty about something or other.

What Some Plants Can Do.
Some kinds. of plants have . been
found which can be made to photo-
graph themselves.
A beam of light is turned on them,
the plants absorb it, just as phosphor.
ue will absorb light, and then give it
out again. A hots ra hio plate is
g p g p
placed over the plants, and when the
light is yielded up by them they photo.
graph the outlines of their 'own form
and structure on thiesensitive plate.
They are very small plants which
thus supply their own photographs, so
small as to be seen properly only un-
der the microscope; but they may be
very important for good or evil, for
the bacteria, the yeasts and the
moulds, aro all microscopic plants,
It has always 'been, difficult to ob-
tain trustworthy ,portraits of the In.
sides of these' tiny things, but now it
has been found that in many et them
the substances which color them have
this power of giving out light again,
and so producing the color, photo.
graphs.

comparisons are made :that big figures
oan be fully appreciated, One of the
largest figures with 'welch Canadians
generally are familiar is that of the
national debt, On December 31, it..
'amounted to $2,415,533;100, truly a
large figure, mainly the result of the
war; but the value of the minerale
produced in Canada since 1910 amount
ed to $2,410,225,000, almost ani equai
amount.
The importance of mining to Canada.
is very' aptly put by Dr. ;Cameeil, de-
puty minister of the Department of
Mines, in his annual report for 1923,
when he says:
"The mineral resources of Canada
ars among its greatest natural assets,
and, owing to our natural climatic
coudltions and the relatively limited
area of the country capable of agri-
cultural development the mining in.
dustry must necessarily occupy a pro.
portionately larger place in aur 00000-
`laie development than in those come
tries of the world more fortunately en'
dowed with respect to climate. Min-
ing is not afepted by climate and can
be carried on irrespective of it. The
importance of this induetry is Indi-
cated
ndicated by the growing increase in the
annual production ofminerals per
.capita, which has risen during thirty.
five years from $2.23' to $20.40' a heade
of- population. This production is the
creasing from year to year until it
should ultimately exceed that of any,
country In the world."
The range of minerals found in'Canav
da in commercial quantities is very
large, and iu many this country hate;
almost a monopoly. In others rho
Canadian supplies are nearer to large,
United States markets than thele)
own, such as in the case of thegyp-
suni' of the Maritime Province's; anal
in these development is taking.•place,
at a rapidly increasing rate. Many of,
our own minerals, unfortunately, are
being exported in a raw'state, and sup'

outside of Canada. It of interest,',
however, to note that there is a grow•;
ing tendency to manufacture more of
our mineral products at home. Titin 19
especially noticeable with regard to
nickel ,asbestos, lead and zine.
In discussing the question of greater
home manufacture of mineral pro;
duets Dr. Cameeli says;
"It Is urgently necessary that we
shoald develop home markets by the
establishment of industrles aompl*
mentary to the mining industry, so
that the products of our mines may be
