I never have heard the "voice of the turtle," and it may be a very intriguing sound, but certainly the birds are hereand they de make good hearing for people who have been housed up all the long winter. It is no wonder at all that people want to get out, into the sunshine; to feel the refreshing breezes upon their faces and have the sound of the buds' songs in their ears, Usually it is understood that bus. incssnten, students, school children those who aim confined so much, need en outside holiday, and Friend Businessman manages to arrange a little outing to the golf course, the trout stream or soiree other such outing every so often, the students and school :children have their long summer holidays, but often' the housewifeis forgotten. Her need of a holiday is not so seriously consid- ered •and onsid-ered•and very often she is the on, most in need of it. Mrs. Housewife should take this matter in her own hands and in- sist upon something in the way of a holiday, an, occasional outing for herself. Her work is about' as ex- acting and as monotonous as any- thing could well be, doing the same thing over and over again each day. But the work of the housewife is so important that she cannot afford to just lay it down and walk off and leave it. Although, occasionally, it might be all right to do just that, for an hour or so, toning back re- freshed for her tasks. But it is pos- sible to create little changes evenin the routine of work which makes a change, and any change from th, routine when it becomes a monotony' is beneficial. Plans should he made to be out- side as much as possible all sunnier Prepare vegetables, do mending and sewing in the open air, Most homes have some shady corner where this can be done. Serve the meals in the open occasionally, serving simple menues which can bre carried out without much trouble, and sit out just as much as possible, It will pay in renewedhealth of body and mind. --REBEKAH, '-fE. dirt OF THE. anabiati e ira1)s .iritthrrt and Life Insurance Companies in Canada.

During the period of digestion, the stomach receives an extra supply of blood as does any organ at a time when it es most active.

On sunny days when there is a chance of drying af- ter a dip, 20 or 30 pigeons suddenly swoop upon the fountain. The pig- eons at once begin to form queues on the right-hand side of the trough. The queue extends back over the edge of the step ,on to the step be- low, and curves around 'corners like a theatre queue. One or two Tumid - able 'pigeons ormidable"pigeons marshal the ranks. The first pigeon enters the' trough, splashes through it, and emerges dripping on the left side, where he waits to watch the fun. Bird after bird follow, and the smallest effort to disobey bstth etiquette is instantly punished. The two "policemen," as the bank messengers call the senior pigeons, drag out any pigeon who tries to linger beyond reason in tin water. YURI, YURI!

A little house where windows clean Are sashed with blue. They seem to beckon gaily, .And say, "Come in, won't you?" And if some day you' did go in. I'm very sure you'll find Within that little friendly house Some one sweet and kind. And perhaps if you are weary, Because the road is long, That some one in the little house Would cheer you with a song. It takes a world of love and faith To build these homes so dear; I'm certain in the building That God was very near. —Doris C. Craine. * PRAYER OF AN UNEMPLOYED MAN Here in the quiet of my room, 0 God, I come to Thee for friendship; to feel That Some One is with me, though unseen. All day I have seen a multitude of people, But I am still lonely and hungry for human cheer. No life has touched mine in under- standing; No hand has clasped mine in friend- ship; My heart is empty and my hands are idle; Help me to feel Thy presence, So that the disappointment of this day Shall not overwhelm me. Keep me warm and human, and set a new faith Before my eyes—et new hope to live by. Anda new spirit with which to over- come discouragements. Abide with me and be my friend. In the name of Him who went about Doing good. Amen. —W. C. Ackerly, in the New Era (Australia). TESTIMONY My garden bears testimony to divin• ity I sow the seed, itself a mystery Invoke the graces of the sun; Implore the ministry Of the rain; and yet, when this is done It is God Who thrusts up Through the imprisoning clod Miracles of emerald leaf and radiant bloom Fashioned of fabrics from a hea- venly loom Surely nope but God cam Within a seed's pin point of space Pack a blue -print of the cosmos' swaying grace Or, from a dry 'brown root release The phlox in all its still white peace. He hangs the rose upon the thorn And lifts the lily's senate cup Brimmed with the dewy nectar of the morn It is God alone, knowing infinity May be so prodigal of beauty That he gives to the errant winds the poppy And the rose, or yields to winter's devastating hold Autumn's arabesque of flame and gold, —Eva Moad Turner. LOVE `.. I love you Not only for what you are, But ;foe what I ant when •I amwith You.. I love you For the part of me That you bring out. p g y ur and nto my heap- ed up heart And passing over all the foolish, weals things That you can't help dimly seeing there, And for bringing out, into the tight, All the beautiful belongings That no one else had looked quite far enough ' To find.... I love, you, Because you are helping me to make Of the Iumber• of my life, Not a tavern . , , but a temple! Out of the works of piny every. day, Not a reproach .. but a song. And you have done it without a word) Without a touch, without a sign; You have done it by being yourself. —Roycroft. TIIE COUNTY CHURCH He could not separate the thought Of God from daisies white and hot, In blinding thousands by a road, Of dandelion disks that glowed Like little suns upon the ground. Holiness was like the sound Of thousands of tumultuous bees In fullblossomed apple trees, Or it was smell of standing grain, Or robins singing in the rams. For the Church he went to when He.was eight and nine and ten, And good friends with the trees and sun, Was a small white country one. The caraway's lace parasols Brushed the clapboards on the walls, The grass flowed round it east and west, And the one blind had a robin's nest. Before the sermon was half over, ' It turned to fragrance of red clover. May and June and other weather The farmers' wives cane in together, At every window swung a bough; Always, far off, someone's cow Lowed and lowed at every pause. The rhythms of the mighty laws That keep men going to their graves Wiete no holier than the waves The wind made in the tasseled grass A small boy saw through tvindoW glass. —Robert P. Tristram in Harper's ma- gazine. 8:.* A PAINTED SCROLL OF SUMMER Between the sunburnt fields of grain The feathered pear -trees step in rows, Andbluer than its jeweled name The sandpent sapphire water blows. Along a ridge the angled pines Repeat their inky accent lines. Here is a birchtree like a bird; There a white heron like a tree Stands in the shallows quietly. But when a sudden noise is heard The heron curves its wings to fly And blossoms on the sunny sky. --Bertha Ten Eyck James in Poetry, READ .THE ADVERTISEMENTS' IN THE NEWS -RECORD 1.411 Bard's' ed.> "When 1 could not sleep at night .with. baby's cries, it wee Baby's .OwnTablets that it the little system of °Fending substance and gave sweet sleep and rest, That is what Mrs, Robert Greenhorn, Philipsville Ontario, writes.
