Two worried linea were deeply marked on her forehead between her eyes and she never Repined to have time to even smile. Her home was always immacu- late. The garden was a bower' of im- maculate flowers, fresh, clean flowers In lovely color, and she surely had the honor, if one callsithonor, of having her place immaculately differ-, ant, It was because site was an indefa- tigabi0 scrubler and all she could see was dirt• . The house inside was t5erubbed in every nook and corner, Sees, and outside in every nook and corneras well. The garden paths were swept so dilligently that they be- came shiny black pathways. No stray leaf dared to have a resting place for long in that garden. One even won- dered if they alight have an inkling, that they were unwelcome and flutter- ed down just outside of it, for it seem- ed eemed one never could see any leaves there at any' time. The trees too looked different, the leaves showed they were maples but the trunks were of a light creamy color not seen elee- where. People wondered at their am pearance until the information was. whispered that the trunks were scrub- bed. eer,: Little Mary was just three and of ten forgot to say please and thank you, often her mother would say "now Mary, you must be a good girl and remember"' to say please and thank you." Shortly after, Mary wauted to play with the neighbor's little girl and was asked "Will you "be a 'Teal good girl over there?" "Oh yes, 3 be good." "How good?" said said mother. "Oh—I bo Yank you good." The little lady died before her time, wan and wriukled, and the house was silent, but as the weeks passed how soon the garden gradually became as other gardens. Leaves fluttered down and strewed the paths and even a weed dared peep through the ground and grew until it went the way of all weeds. The trunks of the maples be- come golden and gradually put on the coat of nature's brown. Although the place did not bloom with the unusual colors of misplaced cleanliness it soon took on the glory of nature's gifts and best et all through it walked the new owner with her straight. benutifully modelled figure.

' ANALYSIS Wood Destroying Fungi Many stains and all rots in wood are caused by plants of simple struc- ture, known as fungi. The wood-de- stroing fungi develop within the wood and at maturity produce their fruit on the surface. These fruits are the best known parts of the fungous Plants. They appear ,only on wood which Is in au advanced stage of de- cay or stain, and take the form of toadstools, fleshy or woody shelves, encrusting sheets, or of minute Incon- spicuous bodies scarcely discrenable to the naked eye. At maturity fungous fruits shed clouds of fine, dust -like particles known as spores which function iu the same manner as seeds of higher plants. Theee spores are microscopic in size and are scattered far and wide by air currents, spreading disease whereever a spore can get a foothold.

I remove all screws which hold the burners in plaee and put them in a baking -pow- der -can. These, with the burners, cores, chimneys and the pipe through whiclt the oil flows, are immersed in strongly lye water ,overnight. In the morning the sediment ie -the fittings will be sufficiently softened to permit thorougl. cleaning. The pipe is cleaned by loosening the `sediment with a long stiff wire, rinsing well with .lye water. Lastly, hook the wire on a stout piece of cloth and draw through the.pipe and repeat until the cloth comes out clean. That part of the burner in ,which ,the wick fits, needs special care" A long knife or anything that will reach the bottom of the burner should be used. Scrape well and turn the burner upside down and tap the sides carefully so as not to make any dents. Large pieces of sedime.'ts will fall out. Rinse out well with kerosene to re- move all particles of sediment. Very often when a new' nick has been in- serted it is impossible when tbroagh with the flare to turn the • wick low enough to extin u.sh the flame. At such a time you may be very certain that the burner contains a great deal of sediment and needs cleaning. All corrosion should be scraped from the cores.

Real World -Beaters Near Pateiey Bridge, 'k orkshire, is. a dam. which is the biggest ite Europe. Begun nine years .ago by the Brad- ford Corporation, it is now'practically complete.' Its purpose is to trap the waters 01 the Nidd and form a lake which will supply an area of 120 square miles with water. • While this dam sets up a European recprd, it isn't a world-beater. A surprising number of world records, however, are held by Europe. England, for -instance, can boast the world's biggest city. Belgium has the most complete railway system. There are more miles of railway line hi pro- portion to area in Belgium than any- where nywhere else in the world. France boasts of possessing the world's largest wireless station, at St. Assise; its Most -powerful searchlight, at Mont Valerian, outside. Paris; and its biggest airport, at Le Bourget. But Demark has the amazing record of all. Forty-seven out of every hun- dred Danish families have wireless sets. Even America can't beat that— in hatin the States the proportion •is only forty-three. So the Danes can claim to be the world's champion wireless enthusiasts.

Mrs. Nestor Noel "Ave you going - to the school en. tertatnment?" I asked a mother one day. "Olt, no, I haven't time," she au. swerod. "I believe yon' daughter is to take an important part," I continued. "Yes, I believe Myrtle's role is rath- er important," she assented. She seemed quite indifferent. I do not, suppose she rainy was so, in her heart. When Myrtle Was ill, Ire. member- elle nursed that child, dight. and day, and hardly left the sick room more than a few minutes at a time. I wpnder why some mothers show such unselfishness during sickness whereas at other times, they appear wholly indifferent. Is it because their` love only awakens when danger threatens the child? These' mother's do not seem to real• ize that they may lose their children 21n .more ways than one. Sickness is not the only enemy that steals our boys' and girls from us. If we show our love' for our children' only when they are hurt, we may quickly lose their confidence. We must learn to sharp, their joys as well as their sor- rows if we want to hold their affection forever. We should Play with them when they are little, rejoice in 'their childish successes and share their later triumphs. I love the sight of a child rushing to mother with each new-found treasure, perhaps a, flower •ar a sea -shell. One can forecast the mother's future influence at once by the way she receives her child. When. she enters into the child's interest wholeheartedly, you can see that she is the soft of mother, who will always be ao real "chum:' lou have heard women say,. "Oh, yes, it is very pretty. Runalong now." If that represents the mother's habitual attitude she is lacking in sympathy, and will not realize that the child is repelled by the coldness back of the 'words. ' I remember when I was at boarding school, I used to notice the mothers who came to take their children home for the holidays or sometimes merely to visit thein. No mother came to visit me orsharemy joys. and so, as lonely children must often do, I used to watch the other mothers Itungrily. It ngingly. I ussd to wonder in my childish way which mother I would like to he mine if I were allowed to choose a mother. It was not the over- dressed woman that I' chose. It was the one who seemed to be all in all to her children. It was not the one who held them at .arm's length and said, 'Do not be 00 rough; you will crush my dress.' Oh, not It was not these I wanted! It was the one whose children rushed into her arms, the one to whom' all wanted to talk at the same time; it was the mother who made herself a "chum" that I chose. ,i I love to see a mother playing with her children. I like to see her link Iter arm familiarly with theirs at they walk in the woods together. I like to hear her dust as eager as they aro about the things that give them pleas- ure. The 'play" mother who has shared her children's joys from the first instant of their birth has a gloater chance of keeping their love in later years than the mother who has given them only food and clothing. We may often learn much more :about our • children by playing ball with them than by watching them through a. long illness. The mother who plays with her children is the mother who is dearly loved.

To Protect Polished Wood Glue soft wool cloth' to the bottom of jardinieres, :for ne matter how smooth they feel they are sure to mark the table sooner or later. If a flowerpot and saucer are used, glue cloth to the ottom of the saucer and cover the inside with melted para - fin, which will prevent moisture from seeping through.
