More Stringent Laws.
For a good many years the Depart-

strengthening the laws and regula-
bone to protect wild animals.
In 1917 the Northwest game act was
Passed, and by one of its clauses no
persons except Indians, Eskimos and
,half-breeds were allowed to. kill the
musk-ox, and killing by those people
was permitted only when they were in
actual need of food, No person was
permitted to trade in the Pelt or any
other part of the meek -ox. In 1919 there

and, in many eases, the unsanitary
dwellings that are 'necessarily allowed
to be inhabited because there is no ac-
commodation for their inhabitants if
these dwellings were closed, The pro-
vision of additional housing accommo-
dation is most urgent, but this _prob.
lem in too many instances is not tackl-
ed with the vigor which its urgency
demands.
Among the causes of infantile
deaths, the following are the most im-
portant: climate, season, housing alco-
hol, venereal disease, diet, poverty and
employment. From these primary
causes, two others stand out forcibly:
1. Want of knowledge,
2. Want of character.

Reports of the continued wanton and
unneoessary slaughter of the nmsk-ox
by nativee, rumens or which were cor-
roborated by missionaries ami others,
necessitated the passing of an order
in council recently prohibiting any
pereon from hunting or killing musk-
ox at any time. The order also pro-
hibits any person from trafficking in
the animals.
To ascertain whether a special musk-
ox patrol would be advisable to reach

CanadianMounted Police, it special in-
vestigator has been appointed. This

Pearls of Wisdom from
Ontario School Children.
Thefollowing answers to questions
on history and geography examination
papers were written by fourth boort_
children in Ontario public schools;.
Lloyd' Gorge wee a great English
Poet. His chief poems are Uncle
Tom's Cabin and Hamlet.
The early life of Australia was one
or hard work and murder, The con-
victs landed at Calcutta, then they sat
down and spread over all the land.
They settled at Botany Bay Riad work
ad hard amens the wild flowers• aboniel-
ing. Their hides are used for felt.
The frigid zone is noted for lichens
and eskimokes.
Sun time is the tete the SIM is shin-
ing. Standard time Is an -hour dlr-
frunt from daylight saving time.
The most important breeds of cattle
are holsteins and filistinee:
The oartridges, were introduced in
India; to the infantry, the end of which

La Salle followed the lelississippi

his men became dosprut and shot him
because he was a bad man, and went
back home without him, La Salle then
sailed down the St, Lawrence and
founded Quebec.
If You have adenoids ettb there

If yoirhave tooth -ache, you otta pull
it, but if it's a contemporary, why fill
it.
The first simptoms of 'measles and
chickenpox is a card on your door and

The fro1iea abound in alligators,
oranges and negroes.
An old river is the same ae a young
one enl:y more so,
pacitiee. It is much easier to acquire
and disseminate that knowledge a
mothereraft which is necessary for the
saving of infant life, than to impart
that spirit of self-sacrifice and unself-
ishness which is necessary if this
knowledge is to be put into operation.
It is, for instance, far easier to make
a mother understand that breast-
feeding affords her infant the best
chance, of survival than. it is to induce
her to matte the necessary sacrifice of
ipleasure or remunerativo employment
Iwhich 'are often involved if this ma -
eternal -duty is attended to. Again, it
may be quite easy to make our muni-
cipal authorities understand tbat bad
housing conditions, overcrowding, tub-
i emulous inmates; an impure water
i eupply, and bad scavenging of the
streets are never associated with a
low infant mortality and a high stan-
dard of health, but it is quite another
thing to induce them to incur the risks
and unpopularity which the carrying
out of .the indicated reforms would
entail. A want of appreciation of
these eesentially human elements in
the problems explains many of the
failures of otherwise admirably de-
signed schemes of Welfere Work. en
some cases, efforts to reform have un-
expectedly met with most encouraging
success, owing again to the magnetic
influence of some commanding per-
sonality who has succeeded in com-
pelling society to make the necessary
sacrifice, whether personal or com-
munal, for attaining the desired end.

Mrs. Alfred Trenehemontagne; St.

children suffer, They are sold by medi-

Where Is It?
This is it eimplified form of the
famous three card monte trick,
The pack is divided into three
heaps, each .being. placed faced
down on the table- On one of these
heape the performer places the Ace
of Hearts,' face down. He 'then
moves the heapsaround, insisting
that no matter how carefully the
spectators watch, they will lose
track of the pack which has the
Ace on the top. After he has
moved the packsaround euiflclent-
ly, he Dike a spectator to indicate
which pack has the Ace on the top.
The spectator mattes his oleoice.
Tho performer lifts the top card,
It is not the Acyl
In this trick the maglcluee
standby is used in a somewhat un-
usual manner. The card displayed
as the Ace has behind it another
card, If the two cards are slightly
bent and are held with the thumb
at one aide and the fingers at the
other, no one will suspect that the
Ace is anything but what it seems
to be. However, when the Ace is
seemingly on top of the pack, there
Is another card on top of it—and
the remainder of the trick becomes
a yery simple matter.
