Bridges, Monotony tont' it' amazing with every kind of work; we have to do no matter how pleasant, it may be, we find if it .is taken really seriously there come times when it palls onone and the work seems like drudgery... To the wife and mother especially it is difficult to get away from monot- ony.. The days to many mothers are filled with the performance of getting meals, eating them, setting clean dishes on the table, washing them,&f- terwards, then putting on• baby's clothesand sending him out to. Play, sweet and clean, only to bxillg him in again to wash the grimy little face and hands. Then for a change there are more dishes, cleaning, baking, Ironing and the •little face le dirty again and there are more dishes. FSo monotony stalks along while do- ing the Home duties; it also accom- panies all business efforts and is close by while one Is acquiring aneducation The routine must' be done and the wise man or woman is the one who, keeps steadfastly in view the finished' achievement. If we can only vibualize' the flower while the ground is being prepared the digging does not seem so, Irksome or the midst back so painful.' It is true that after climbing one hill another looms up unexpectedly cast- ing its shadows of doubt, while after those are dispelled another hill is there to climb with its new species of drudgery, but nevertheless as you look back down the flight of past years you see many important bridges have been crossed in the humdrum of life. Have you ever noticed in studying art that so many people think of art accomplishments as only a pastime. We call it "playing;' or the "art of singing,," and give them a very super- ficial away. often thinking they are only` the "frills." The study is hap-, hazard and anything is considered good enougit. This is why most of us: never get past the primary stage. We are afraid of the ' monotony and drud-' •ger- of real work. Naturally the i 'children acquire the same idea and!, do not see the importance of down -1 sight hard work. Art is not play and Yet it is wonderful, soul-inspiring'ilay :after sufliclent time has been spent , in study with sometimes its hours of monotony and so-called drudgery. We can't get away from it altogether. Atter all is it worth while? True, it is from the daily household task has, come the morebeautiful well -ordered home and those grimy little hands have grown big with promise.' The business grows bigger and better, Mk- -fug ; an ever more important place in the community. The accomplished artist, mastering his art, can thrill others as well as his own being with the outpouring of his soul and thus the world is a little better place to live in. Yes, it is worth while. "Why, hello. Tommy!" said one old cat to another in one of the alleys where he lived. "How is it you are so fat and happy? "I have been away with my mistress and when I left you ;were starved and miserable, and now you are fat and happy. What has happened?" , "Oh," said Tommy, "It is the Star lboys and girls, They come around •and feed us with milk and fish, then they put out water to drink and bits Of meat, and In cold weather they fix its beds in boxes and don't we love to see them coming around? They take good care of us. Well, here comes one now. Good-bye."

Twilight Hour Story—The Chickfes Chapter After a while Mamma Hen thought she better get up too and show her new babies . 'what the world really looked like. She felt pretty stiff after staying on that nest for such a long time but she stretched her wings, than, her body this way and that way, and soon felt alright again, When she got pp and looked at the nest where she had been sitting she neticed tate other four eggs lying there, Perhaps you will remember elle laid eight eggs, didn't she? She stood and look;, ed' at them and didn't know what to do about them for they took up a lot of room, but just then Miranda Spar- row flew in: Say, didn't she think those little chickens were cute? Well, I should say she did, but when she saw the Other four, eggs there sheknew right away what Mamma Hen should' do, so shewhispered in her ear again and then out she flew and away off' into the blue sky outside. As soon as she was gone • Mamma Hen did what Miranda Sparrow told her. She took one of the egg and rolled and pushed it out of tha nest and she did it very carefully, too. I wonder why? Do you know why? I'll whisper it to you just as. Miranda Sparrow did to Mamma Hen. "Those eggs didn't have any little chickens in them so they were bad—Ohl Oh! And if: one would break -Oh, dear me, the smell would be -awful, and then :well, Mam- ma Hen would have to put a clothes pin on all tate little chiokies' noses so they couldn't smell It, but then she couldn't put on a clothes pin, could she? Because her nose is very def• ferent from our noses, isn't it? I won- der if you have ever noticed what the chieten's nose looks like. Look next time you get a chance, won't you? So that was why Mamma Hen rolle•1 it out of the nest just as carefully as site could. Then she came_ back for an- other one until they were all out end put them off in the corner where no oue would touch them. She was glad when she got rid of them. After a while:' they dried up inside the shell and wouldn't smell any more even if you did break them, Then Mamma Hen started out to take a walk with her babies. They thought it was tine and scratched around in the straw in the big barn. and looked so little and cute while they were having a good time. Just. then the door opened and the farmer man's little boy, Billy, came in, and when he opened the door a big cold wind came in too, mud that old wind felt awfully cold to these little chicks. Besides that they never saw a little boy before and ha looked terribly big to them, so they ran back to Mamma lien before Billy saw them. And do you know what she did? Well, she Just sat down on top of them like she did in the nest and there tl;ey wero all safe and as warm again as could'. be, and they didn't care how cold it was, outside tor they just• all cuddled close together and went to sleep like you do when you have your afternoon nap.

A Pessimistic Farewell old 1930, as you depart, One thinks of many ills endured; You were a bad boy at the start And grew much worse as you matured. Gabby, Gertie "The Happy New Year sometimes fills one's conscience with forebod- Ing eltllis, one's tummy withdiges- tive ills, one's mailbox witlt big Christmas bilis." The immense ralu•, of the medical posts maintained In the North by the Department of the Interior is,. illus- trated by .,the number of cases at. tended by Dr. Livingstone during his four months at Chesterfield. Dr. Liv- ingstone left Ottawa, for the Hudson Eay Point early In the year and travelled by rail to Churchill, 'making the latter part of his Journey from the Pas to the terminus of the Had - a= Bay railway fn twenty-seven hours. He reached Churchill on April 12 an+' was Lela et that paint by i9ittremely cold weatoer and a gale until the 20th when he .tegan the 450-nilejourney by dog -team north- ward orthward along the west coast of Hudson Bay. wring this trip Dr. Livingstone visited native settlements at Nunuila, at a point some distance inland on the. Tha-anne river, at Eskimo Point at Mistake Bay, and at Travane. In allabout twenty-five families were visited, representing about 100 na- tives. This is about one-third of the estimated Eskimo population of the coast, the majority of the natives ' having' not returned from their in- land camps. At Chesterfield the na- tive ative population numbers about 150, - while the number if white: men sel- dom exceeds twelve ur fifteen. These latter include 'Government officials such as the wire.ess operators, the Royal Mounted Police detachment, and the medical officer; those in charge of the trading posts; the mis- sionaries; and transient mining men.

It has only sec- t/lid class accommodation, and passen- gers enter through a door near the driver's seat. Since bus fares are usually paid with tickets rather than coins, the driver is too busy to attend to the stamping of the tickets, a spe- cial machine is situated at the en- trance in millet, passengers insert their own tickets for cancellation. Tickets are sold frons automatic vend- , ing machines located at bus stops. The one-man bus, if it proves success- ful, will make possible a considerable reduction in staff, • The Societe des Transports en Continua de la Region Parisierme, which operates the buses. in Paris, estimates that 70 per cent, of its expenditures. is for wages and salaries, 600,000 Homestead Entries Made During Thirty Years Ottawa. --The day of free home- steads, at least so far as "Dominion lands" is concerned, has passed with the handing over to the ;prairie pro- vinces of their lands: and other re- sources, ,and to British Columbia of the Peace River block and the railway belt. In future these provinces will fix their awn land policies. Some idea of the important part "dominion lands" has played in the development of Canada is gained by finding that during the 50 years be- tween 1000 and 1900 nearly 600,000 homestead entries have been made, representing at 1610 acres each, nearly 100,000,000 acres of land.
