Paris, Voltaire's City of Light,

only three nests in the cage, two hens
will invariably choose the same one
and if left to themselves they will
both lay in that nest and fight each
other for the privilege or honor, of

In all my experience I have never
seen any exceptions to this rule. 'If

settled down to housekeeping the,

When your birds start to build their
nests It is well to pulverize some old
,plaster and sprinkle it over the bot-
tom of the cage every day. Crushed
egg-shella also are good. These
measures wilI prevent soft-shelled
eggs. A little boiled egg should be
given your birds every other day at
this time. Keep seed, gravel, cuttle-
bone and fresh water before them at
all times. • Nbw is the time that your
birds must be left to themselves.
Don't go around them any more than
is absolutely necessary. Don't allow
strangers around them, and above all,
keep the cats and dogs away.
Birds are very eccentric and very

they will be suspicious of you the rest

A nervous person ;vill never have

old lady called on 1013 one day and
wanted to know my secret of raising

been trying for three consecutive
years and had not one bird of her own
raising to show for her time and
trouble....
I visited her home and entered the
room where her birds were kept. She
opened the door with a quick move-
ment and almost rushed into the room.
Instantly her birds ceased singing
and began to fly wildly around their
cages as if a. cat had jumped into their
midst and was threatening their
very lives. They seemed to regard
her more as an enemy than friend,
and went into a flutter when she even
approached their cages. I gave her
a kindly: warning and Iater `traded her

she raised quite a number of birds,
But as her temperament does not tit

Canaries lay their eggs in the early
morning ancl with rare exceptions
start sitting just as soon as the first'
egg appears. They lay from three to
seven eggs for a sitting, four eggs

ber is more desirable than a larger

Parsons and Their Classified Advertisements
Sons
Black sheep come more often from
the parsonage than from other homes,
it has. long popularly been believed;
but -refutation of this baseless charge,
notes The Christian Obse1'Ver (Pres-
byterian), has been made many times,
particularly by reports found in
'Who's Who in America." A careful
investigation reveals that a large per-
centage ° or ministers whose, names
a book of
n,rt
bee recorded in that have
notteworthy names followed in the
footsteps of their fathers. Now comes
the Clergymen's Committtee of the
American Engenics Society with its
results of a canvass of 100 leading
ministers in America. As the report
is summarized in The Christian Ob-
server:
"Two-fifths of these stated that they
themselves were the sons of minis-
ters. Three others were, sons of a
local or lay preacher, and one had a
Quaker preacher for a mother. Ten
of those interviewed had grandfath-
ers who were ministers and seven
had great-grandfathers and three
great -great-grandfathers in the minis-
try. One man reported an unbroken
line bf Presbyterian ancestors run-
ning back to the seventeenth century,
and another a similar line of Mora-
vian ministers beginning in 1740.
Thirty-eight were sons of church of-
ficers and only eighteen of the hun-
dred were sons of men who were
neither ministers nor church officers !
"Th fact that two-fifths of the hun-
dred ministers are sons of ministers
indicates that the preacher's son who
adopts his father's profession does so
with full knowledge of what it means
to devote his life to the work of the
ministry.. The committee reaches
the conviction that the future church
leaders in America must come from
church families, and that church lead-
ers produce church leaders. The list
of one hundred ministers interviewed
includes the most successful minis-
ters in the American pulpit to -day." 1

TORTUREY
THE LITTLE ONES
Mothers, do you think it fair to tor-
ture your' little ones by forcing them
to take ill -tasting oils when they need
a laxative medicine? Don't you find
that the child's bread of these medi-
cines often do more harm than good?
Baby's Own Tablets are the modern
substitute for these nauseous doses.
They are the very medicine the child
requires and are so pleasant to take
mat they are as easy' to administer
as a glass of water They are the per-
fect remedy for all the minor ailments
of little ones, being absolutely guar-
anteed free from injurious drugs.
Baby's Own Tablets accomplish all
that castor oil and other bad -tasting
remedies can do. In fact they" ac-
complish more as they .do not leave
the `child exhausted from its struggle
against taking medicine. They re-
lieve teething pains, banish indiges-
tion -and constipation, break up colds
and simple fevers and promote health-
ful, refreshing sleep.' They are sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at

"Canada For Me."
Here we have an English lad who
came across story -book thrills in the
Canadian West. He is Richard
Barnes,' of Kent, later `cowboy of the
2XY ranch in Alberta.
He went broke, was hired on the
ranch, was shot for criticizing a
.shady poker play, was subsequently
deported from the U.S.A. because he
lacked entry papers, was burnt out
in a Windsor, Ont., hotel, walked on
foot to Montreal dressed in cowboy
outfit, and from there embarked with
nine cents in his pocket for England
on the Ounarder Ascania. "A great
life!" he declared, and promised to
acquire an English wife and to settle
in Canada this summer.

Aceording to reports in the Volks-
wille of Suhl, Thuringia, an organ of
the left wing Opposition in the Ger-
man Communist Party, the official
Communists are using violent meth-
ods to "convert" their former com-
rades. In one instance a demonstra-
tion by the Opposition was attacked
and one of. its organizers beaten in-
sensible with a hammer. In Ham-
burg three detachments of the regu-
lar Communist Front Fighters raided
ae. meeting of the Opposition and
stormed the platform, clearing a way
by vigorous use of rubber clubs, brass
knuckles' and knives. In Dortmund,
on the other hand, Herr Thaeimann,
a well-known Communist chief, had to
flee from a meeting in order to escape
a beating at the hands of the Op-
position. •

Prussian Churches Expensive
In an article in the ' Berlin Vor-
warts discussing the budget of the
Prussian State, a member of the Diet
draws attention to the heavy cost of
supporting the various religious de-
nominations, because of the Diet's de-
lay in taking the steps necessary to
separate Church and State. This
Years budget provides for an ex-
penditure of '71,600,000 marks (worth
28.8 cents each) for Church pluposes,
without any allowance for the addi-
tional salaries to be paid to the clergy
under the new law increasing the pay
of State officials and employees. The
complaining Deputy notes that the
State is planning to spend only 52,;
000,000 marks in welfare work of all
kinds, including the health service.
He also refers to a budget deficit esti-
mated at about 74,000,000 marks.

Parsons and Their Classified Advertisements
Sons
Black sheep come more often from
the parsonage than from other homes,
it has. long popularly been believed;
but -refutation of this baseless charge,
notes The Christian Obse1'Ver (Pres-
byterian), has been made many times,
particularly by reports found in
'Who's Who in America." A careful
investigation reveals that a large per-
centage ° or ministers whose, names
a book of
n,rt
bee recorded in that have
notteworthy names followed in the
footsteps of their fathers. Now comes
the Clergymen's Committtee of the
American Engenics Society with its
results of a canvass of 100 leading
ministers in America. As the report
is summarized in The Christian Ob-
server:
"Two-fifths of these stated that they
themselves were the sons of minis-
ters. Three others were, sons of a
local or lay preacher, and one had a
Quaker preacher for a mother. Ten
of those interviewed had grandfath-
ers who were ministers and seven
had great-grandfathers and three
great -great-grandfathers in the minis-
try. One man reported an unbroken
line bf Presbyterian ancestors run-
ning back to the seventeenth century,
and another a similar line of Mora-
vian ministers beginning in 1740.
Thirty-eight were sons of church of-
ficers and only eighteen of the hun-
dred were sons of men who were
neither ministers nor church officers !
"Th fact that two-fifths of the hun-
dred ministers are sons of ministers
indicates that the preacher's son who
adopts his father's profession does so
with full knowledge of what it means
to devote his life to the work of the
ministry.. The committee reaches
the conviction that the future church
leaders in America must come from
church families, and that church lead-
ers produce church leaders. The list
of one hundred ministers interviewed
includes the most successful minis-
ters in the American pulpit to -day." 1

teachings of the Bible, comments this. - �-- -•®- -�°°• —7Louisville weekly, are not surprised

TORTUREY
THE LITTLE ONES
Mothers, do you think it fair to tor-
ture your' little ones by forcing them
to take ill -tasting oils when they need
a laxative medicine? Don't you find
that the child's bread of these medi-
cines often do more harm than good?
Baby's Own Tablets are the modern
substitute for these nauseous doses.
They are the very medicine the child
requires and are so pleasant to take
mat they are as easy' to administer
as a glass of water They are the per-
fect remedy for all the minor ailments
of little ones, being absolutely guar-
anteed free from injurious drugs.
Baby's Own Tablets accomplish all
that castor oil and other bad -tasting
remedies can do. In fact they" ac-
complish more as they .do not leave
the `child exhausted from its struggle
against taking medicine. They re-
lieve teething pains, banish indiges-
tion -and constipation, break up colds
and simple fevers and promote health-
ful, refreshing sleep.' They are sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at
25c a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
"Canada For Me."
Here we have an English lad who
came across story -book thrills in the
Canadian West. He is Richard
Barnes,' of Kent, later `cowboy of the
2XY ranch in Alberta.
He went broke, was hired on the
ranch, was shot for criticizing a
.shady poker play, was subsequently
deported from the U.S.A. because he
lacked entry papers, was burnt out
in a Windsor, Ont., hotel, walked on
foot to Montreal dressed in cowboy
outfit, and from there embarked with
nine cents in his pocket for England
on the Ounarder Ascania. "A great
life!" he declared, and promised to
acquire an English wife and to settle
in Canada this summer.

Communists Fight Each
Other
Aceording to reports in the Volks-
wille of Suhl, Thuringia, an organ of
the left wing Opposition in the Ger-
man Communist Party, the official
Communists are using violent meth-
ods to "convert" their former com-
rades. In one instance a demonstra-
tion by the Opposition was attacked
and one of. its organizers beaten in-
sensible with a hammer. In Ham-
burg three detachments of the regu-
lar Communist Front Fighters raided
ae. meeting of the Opposition and
stormed the platform, clearing a way
by vigorous use of rubber clubs, brass
knuckles' and knives. In Dortmund,
on the other hand, Herr Thaeimann,
a well-known Communist chief, had to
flee from a meeting in order to escape
a beating at the hands of the Op-
position. •

Prussian Churches Expensive
In an article in the ' Berlin Vor-
warts discussing the budget of the
Prussian State, a member of the Diet
draws attention to the heavy cost of
supporting the various religious de-
nominations, because of the Diet's de-
lay in taking the steps necessary to
separate Church and State. This
Years budget provides for an ex-
penditure of '71,600,000 marks (worth
28.8 cents each) for Church pluposes,
without any allowance for the addi-
tional salaries to be paid to the clergy
under the new law increasing the pay
of State officials and employees. The
complaining Deputy notes that the
State is planning to spend only 52,;
000,000 marks in welfare work of all
kinds, including the health service.
He also refers to a budget deficit esti-
mated at about 74,000,000 marks.
