Nothing in Particular.
There is a saying: "The man who
does nothing does somebody," And,
when you come to think of it, it Is so,
for seeing that every one of us has a
duty to perform and some special work
to do, there is no time, for us to separ-
ate ourselves, even in thought, from
the great events that are ours to ful-
fil.
Yet how often we hear people say:
"Oh! I'm doing nothing in particular!"
They waste their time in. idling whilst
useful work is neglected, and the pur-
pose for which they came here is be
ing unfulfilled.
Ili our glib phrases we often reveal
our lives and outlook upon things. For
instance -you ask a man how business
is and he replies; "I can't grumble,"
or "I mustn't complain," just as though
he had a. right to set himself up as a
murmurer.
'What a condemnation it is to hirer-
self! You may readily dome to be-
lieve that this particular individual
spends Ibis life in. endeavoring to dis-
cover the twists and faults.
It is easy to get into a habit; and
to break from it requires every bit of
effort we possess. We talk about a
think being "awfully nice"; and "the
honest truth," as though truth. is not
always honest. Some will say: "Well,
to tell you the truth," implying that
such is not always their custom
So oftentimes, we confess. our own
emptinesss, announcing to the world
that we are not masters of our
thoughts for the dine being.
Depend upon it that If we dou't oc-
cupy our minds with the hest thinking
we shall find that an inferior thought
possesses us The mind cannot rest.
In sleep it is often working like a ma-
chine, as evidenced by our dreaming.
We lay ourselves, open to every- device
of wrong when we let our thixsking get
elack. "As a man thinketh. so is he."
Life almost invariably follows the
train of thought. That explains why
so many people are spending their
days in waste. This can be -applied all
round. The man who hunts a fox be-
cause be thinks It Is sport has a mind
that rises no higher than that cruel
form of pleasure.
Equally so with these who release
a harmless rabbit to be chased to
death by clogs. It 1s still time that
▪ Satan ilnds mischief for idle hands.
We should never be unemployed, or
triflingly employed. In this world
there are great loads to lite and big
things to do, and every one of us must
help.

"Nay, never falter; no great Gleed is

Two words are in common employ-

dictionary says that its etymology is

Noted Historian Passes. at
Niagara.
Miss Janet Carn•ochau, Well known
as the historian of the Niagara penin-
sula, died recently at her home, Niag
aga-on-the-Lake, in her SS,th year. Miss
Carnochan was hopeful to the last, as
was testified to by the fact that she
wrote letters to members of the.
LO.D.E. expressing interest in the
work and declaring that she expected
to be out again as soon as the weather
permitted.
Miss Carnochan played an import-
ant part in the organization of the
Niagara Peninsula Historical Society,
an organization which has done much
valuable work in preserving to pos
terity material that will prove of ines-
timable worth 'to 'historians and edu-
cationists. She raised $5000 for the
erection of a historical building at
Niagara -on -the -Lake, which at the pre-
sent time houses about 10,000 articles
linked with the life of the peninsula
from 1812 to the present day. The
museum is now a Meeca for many
visitors, and on its walls hands a por-
trait of the founder and president,
painted -by E, Wyly Grier and present-
ed to Miss Carnochan.
The late Miss Carnochan was born
in Stamford. Ontario, in 1839, her par-
ents being James Carnochax and Mar-
garet Milroy, both of Scottish birth,
Who came a short time before from
, their native town in Ayrshire. Numu-
bereci• among the writings of this gifted
woman are: "The History of Niagara,"
"The History of St, Mark's Church,"
and "The History of St. Andrew's.
March." She also wrote considerable
Poetry, which if collected, is said to be
a probable contribution to Canadian
letters,

Dicentra (Dielytra) Bleeding
Heart. .
The Bleeding Heart '(Dielytra .spec-
tabilis•) is an old favorite, found in
most of the old gardens and some of
the new ones. - It is one of the early
blooming piants•, with clean, graceful
foliage, two feet in height for young
plants, throe and often more for older
plants, the long drooping ,racemes of
very graceful, heart -shaped, pink and
white flowers, make a -very attractive
spot in the border. Any good gorden
soil will do, and it seems to thrive
equally well exposed to full sunshine
or in partially shaded places. -
They: are very easily grown. Two
years ago when making over our bor-
der, I gathered up a handful of broken
pieces of root, dug a hole in the bor-
der, put them all In together, covered
them up, firmed with my foot, put two
•stakes to mark them, and left them to
their fate. 4 friend asked what I had
marked. "Buried hopes," hreplied. In
the spring, several sturdy little plants
made their appearance. .
They will not stand' even a slight
frost unless protected in seine way.
The last two years, three plants in an
exposed part of the border, were cut
down when buds were nearly ready to
open, while two otherde protected) by
trees Were untouched, 1111 have
.enough, plants for use sorrilIce4 cut
flowers, as they arl'b very' decorative
for the house. -
They die down in July, so they need
to be planted near something that will
grow up and help fill the empty space.
Dicentra (formosa) is not so well
known as spectabilis. It begins bloom-
ing in May, continues until August,
and frequently into September. It is
a much smaller plant, with finely dis-
sected foliage, and very dainty pink
flowers, increases, rapidly from root
growth, makes a very pretty spot in
the border, but is useless for doorative
purposes.—Miss Anna Moyle, for the
Ontario Horticultural Association.

t Japanese -Women Seek
Equal Rights in Education
Tile women of Japan have started a.
determined -movement to gain educa,
ti,onel advantages for themselves equal
to thas•e accorded men. One thousand
"progressive women" have just held
a two -days' meeting in Tokio to die -
cues means of...convincing the Govern
ment that a university for girls equiva-
lent to the Imperial University for
Hien •should be established at" once.
This, movement has had Pope ap-
proval of the press, which predicts'
that the -Government soon will act.
Commuting upon the meeting, the
Osaka Mainichi, Japan's Ieading news --
paper, declares: 'It goes. without say-
ing that the educational system of this
country is extremely backward in the
field of women's education as com-
pared with other advanced countries
of the world. The position of Japan-
ese women is fast being elevated as
the years go by, and this-discre-pency
should not be allowed to peztsist any
longer. Any educational system that
ignores the important position of the
other half of the population by shut-
ting its doors against the fair sex is
a disgrace not .only to the womanhood
of the country. but to the entire nation
as well. Par a nation doing injustice
to her wornonhoed in the matter of
etiueation is bound - to deteriorate in
chaaraoter as well as, in efficiency."
Simple goitre or "think neck" is very
common among young girls in certain
districts in Canada and the United
States. This condition has been found
to he ,due to a deficiency of iodine in
the diet, particularly in the drinking
water.
Wherever simple goitre is common,
there ie little or no iodine in the drink-
ing water. Where there is sufficient
iodine ,as in most districts near the
sea, simple goitre is almost unknown.
Consequmitly au iodised table salt is
now available, children are being
given sodium iodide and even water
supplies are being iodized—all far the
purpose of correcting or preventing
simple goitre, which not only spoils a
child's good looks but niay develop in-
to a dangerous farm of disease.

In the garden was a steam. round-

amusement of the ladles of'the harem.
Several of the Sultan's, wires - were
mounted on the wooden steeds; and
the steam organ was blaring out a
lively tune.,
Mrs. Forbes, as she then was; lis-
tened—and laughed inwardly. For the
time wae that of the once popular
song: "There's Only One Girl in the

You slay the world looks gloomy,

The night has lost its quiet,
You fear the coming day?'
The world is what you make it;
The sky is grey or blue,
Just as your soul nary paint it;
It isn't the world --'it's you.

Clean out the foggy mind;
The clouds are always. passing,
And each is silved lined,
The world is what you make it—

And when. you it y it's. gloomy

The Fruits of Toil.
It is easy enough to regard what-
ever the -toil of a man has produced
and to discard it in a withering opini-
on. Again and again wiseacre oantem-
porari•es have sat in judgment on a
strange method or a new 'invention
and dismissed it as a vain and foolish
thing. The lonely pilgrim who brought
forward the banned idea may have
been disheartened by the censure, so
that he left the field to those who
should come after and find that he was
there before them. Or there may have
been in hint a spirit manful and deter-
mined that forbade him to give up. He
persevered on the rough way, and if
at last he reached a goal triumphant,
he found himself surrounded by a
group of eager claimants for the prize
he won. They bad endured nothing
of the sneering eynicisnn or the callous -
indiEereuce. But they insisted on
sharing or stealing the reward. Great
'er than the triumph of invention is the
conquest of one's own spirit in the ,
hour of victory, so that he who did
not let himself beoome embittered in
the days, of struggle remains nagnaut
mous even toward those who would
defraud him now.
When will mankind learn, from the
history of science : ar,stateorraft, to give
the benefit of the doubt to him who
soberly , proposes some new thing?
When will it learn that so paten in mat
ters of taste and ohoice and approval.
we think with the- crowd, are governed
by a reigning fashion and vote with a
popular majority? When the mob ridi-
cules or persecutes, we are too ready
to make . common cause with it and
lend our voices to the frantic chorus
of those who are . accustomed to de-
nounce what they do not understand.
Even he who wrought with art and
planned with conscience must often
'endure to see the impudent effr+eery
of mountebanks and shy,tere prefer-
red to his handiwork. The plea of his
own merit is drowned out by the ac-
claim that rises for :the charlatan. He
