Cleanliness means both. outside and inside cleanliness. Isfost girls keep their bodies clean on the outside, bet they do not all keep them clean on 1 the inside. If there is any tendency towards constipation, that should bel the first thing to be attended to. 'The letter vould indicate that the what family are. living on is often called "the American diet." This is apt to consist of meat, potatoes, white milk puddings sometimes instead of pies, The reason a good many people are notfond of milk puddings, is 'be- cause they are served hike -warm, and not ice cold.

'Nils is what birds are doing every day of their lives, if we take the amount of food they eat in propor- tion to their weight. The robin will devour twice its own weight of food every twenty -lour hours. The king- fisher goes one better; I have known one of these hungry ash -eaters to get rid of four times its own weight of. food from sunrise to sunset. Young birds in their nests are vo- racious feeders, and their parents aro sometimes considerably taxed to find sufficient to satisfy them. But I hauve. seen young thrushes admit . thein- selvee beaten when the supply of worms was good, One young bird had eaten almost all he could get in- to his . crop when a worm appeared. on the lawn on which he was stand- ing; . this creature was longer than the bird, but the. youngster made a gallant effort to devour it. He man- aged. to get it down; but it seemed impossible for him to close his beak properly, and the worm wriggled out. He made a second effort with the same result, then stood and looked at the wriggling object ` beneath hint. He watched it for five minutes or so, then made a third attempt. and this time, being able to close his beak. the worm remained down, Feeding -time at the Zoo is always a popular sight, but far more tun can be obtained by watching some of the smaller creatures, instead of the lionsand tigers which always attract such a crowd. The penguin will de - 'our fish almost as longus its body, I saw one small penguin dispose or three full-sized herrings, each one of which was only four inches less than its own length. Birds of prey, and especially some of the larger species that we find on the mountains, such as the golden eagle, the buzzard, and raven, will gorge. themselves until they have dif- ficulty in flying. Especially is this so if they have been short of food for: a few days, and then come across a good supply. .A dead horse or cow will provide such food, for the lordly golden eagle is, after all, a carrion feeder, and becomes as greedy a bird as it is possible to findwhen oppor- tunities occur. In foreign countries vultures are the scavengers of the countryside, and few dead creatures escape their keen eyes. I have known horse on the mountai to ns come to an 'tuitime- ly end, and within an hour of its death there was just a pile of hones left, while all around stood a flock of over -gorged vultures. It was im- possible for the greatbirds to fly, and there they remained until the effects of the feast had worn off. THE GLASSLESS AGE. R,olItawas Had It., Then It Seems to Have Been Forgotten. A curiosity of a :recent thunder- storm which burse: over the British Isles was the breaking of about sev- enty window panes in a house in Scotland. There must still be people living in this village who remember- ed houses and greater places than houses which had windows but no glass. Until well an into the nine- teenth century, .for example, Eton had its windows unglazed. The walls wore pierced for windows, but they were open_ Only at night were they closed by huge shutters. Mein' shiver ingly told in 'later days how in the winter the snow drifted in upon their beds as they lay in the dormi- tories. Seventh .windows to repair in those and earlier days would have been a serious matter indeed, Glass was once common in the houses of the well-to-do; then it seems to have been forgotten. The Roinans had It and the Rotnanizod Britons must have had it after them. Window glass has been diseovered in the ruins of a Roman villa in Kent, England, having lain buried and un- known for perhaps 1,500 years in a windowless land. The Saxons can have :bad 'little or no glass. The Normans had none, or only very little, in the castles they built in Blitaiir. Their practice, was to fix a titin transparent skin or mem- brane from an animal to serve for window cowering. When Shakespeare was writing. and Queen Elizabeth was ruling with the help of Drake and Raleigh and the rest,' the windows of a house were. a. special possession, . and could be willed to different people. They were made up of a series of movable ease- ments, meant to he tut 1.n and taken out easily; and when a man died. they were named in his will and passed to whomsoever he desired to have theta..

The mortar is being chipped away bit by bit—. either for analysis by amateur chem- ists, or for sotuvenire.

Fables tell how this sauce Daeda- lus, when surrounded by foes, made wings Lor himself and his son Icarus; and :dew away. Men have always wished to be able to rise into the air, for this lugs the only accomplishment of other animals that man did not possess. He could run and leap and swim and climb, but he couldnot fly. Roger Bacon, born in 1214, foresaw the coming of the balloon, He thought that it would be made of very thin metal and filled with 1i - quid fire. It was actually more than three hundred yeare before the first balloon ascent was rntde, but the first man torise into the air did so in a fire balloon. The airship pre.'/id- ed with a means of moving against or across the wind was anticipated, in. the eighteenth century by Lunardi, who invented a balloon propelled by oars. Even in his day there were those who foresaw that in the future the "oars" would bo worked by asoine kind of engine, The airplane was foreseen with re- markable accuracy by Leonardo da Vinci, who, besides being a painter, was a renowned mathematicianand engineer, 'Wireless was foreseen at. least three hundred years ago. The Italian writer Strada, born in 1572, describes an imaginary machine which enabled two friends, no mat- ter how far apart, to communicate with one another. Each had a dial plate on which were the letters of the alphabet. One moved a pointer to a letter on his own dtal, and simultan- eously his imultan-eously'his friend's pointer moved to the same letter. All this was done by means of the l.oadstone, the only magnet known .in those days. Stra-; da's imaginary process is almost ex- actly what happens in the most mod- ern telewriter orautomatic telegraph transmitter. One has only to turn to the pages of "The Tempest" to see that Shake- speare anticipated. broadcasting, for in his Prospero was able hy his magic arts to send out the sounds of sweet music to any place. Is it not a queer coincidence that he accomplished this by means of his Ariel? Both Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, and Boulton, another great engineer of his tithe, predicted the coming of the internal combus- tion engine suck as now drives our automobiles, airplanes, and airships. They prophesied, too, that such an engine would be used for working both road vehicles and flying ma -- chines. In 1795 they wrote that a machine on the lines of the steam engine, but worked by some other suitable explosive material, would within half a century move carriages along the roads, and probably pro- vide a means of flying.

Growing a beard, dyeingg the hair, and staining the face and hands with a mixture of butternut oil, nutgall, and permanganate of potash, are old- time dodges that have often been very useful to the hunted man. 'Stained with the above mixture, a fair -skinned znan becomes as swarthy as a Spaniard. or Italian; it once made a burglar "on the run" so con- fident that he actually had the audac- ity to sell ice cream•within a stone's throw of Scotland Yard, Perhaps the most recent dodge for criminals who are anxious to give a wide berth to the police is going on the sick list. Hospital authorities in London and the provinces are much perturbed by this new and deplorable form of trickery. At one London hos- pital the suspicions of the doctors were aroused by the arrival in the course of; one week of several indi- viduals who, according to their own story, were in terrible pain, but whose ailments the medical men were quite unable to diagnose. The sur- prising speed with which these mys- terious "patients" recovered at the end of a few' days convinced the doc- tors that there was "something up." Inquiries were made, and It was learned that at lehet'two. of them were badly "wanted" itt connection with a motor ear theft. ,Jerusalem-Ohamher.

Not wily were the ex- hibits nrtisically arranged, but they gave a fine conception of elle many excellent Ontario farm products of- feredfor table use. 'The majority of them included milk products of all kinds, flour, cheese, honey, apples, pears, eggs, bacon, fresh meats and a host of other requisites which .looked far more inviting than any .samples of imported goods. This contest will have the effect of inducing the cus- tomer to ask for Ontario -grown farm products in prefereni:e to any other. Will Market 'Own Cider Hon.

Celrrefnt Crop Report Fall plowing is bearing cotnpleti in most districts. The continued fine weather enabled farmers to get the odd work finished and they are in fair circumstances to greet the win- ter "months. One regrettable feature has been the lack of rain as a result of which many wells and cisterns have run dry. The,dry weather, how- ever, has given farmers an opportun- itytokilt out twitch grass and e - ds tructn e weeds. Fall wheat and seeds in most counties have a good top that seems to be in a rugged condition to withstand the rigours of winter. The mild weather enabled, farmers in many regions to delay housing their stock, thus saving a considerable' quantity a feed. Club Fair on 'November 6th.
