Frontenac School. | Some Experiences in My Life. Three yoats ago, when I was sge- ven years oid, I lived in Montreal. I aad quite a distance to go to school, and my brother often called for me with our horse and rig. The horse was very nervous and easily frigh- tened. Oue day, on our way home, my brotiaer stopped to call at the black- emith's, While he was inside a big dog came along, barking loudly and frightened the horse. It at once ran off, with me in the rig. I was ter- ribly frightened and was going to try to jump out when I saw my brother running very quickly after us. He succeeded in catching up, all out of breath, just in time to jump in be- hind and catch the reins before they shipped down. He managed to stop the horse and we reached home safe- Some time after this my father and mother and 1 were going home, We bad to pass a canal, where we saw two little girls playing. My mo- ther noticed one of the girls falling into the water. My father hurried to the place where she fell in, and the little girl was struggling and trying to catch hold of something with her Bands to pull herself out. My father held out his cane to her, and &he caught hold of it and he pulled her out to safety. Not long after this we moved to Kingston, where I have liv- ed ever since.--Edith Bailey, aged 10 years, The Tramp. A tramp was once invited to a ban- quet in the hall of a big palace. He had never been a guest in so fine a place before, for people do not usual- ly invite tramps to their homes. This tramp bad slept in hay-lofts and in sheds more often than in comfortable rooms. He looked at the fine dresses of the servants, and then at his own shabby clothes, and expected to be ordered out. But one of the servants bowed before him as if he were a prince and said, "Permit me, sir, to take you to your.room." The tramp took courage and answered, "Very { well," When he reached the room he stood admiring the grandeur of it. After he had bathed he dried himself with a soft towel, and took clean clothes from the drawers and clothes closets and put them on. After he was well dressed he stood in front of a mirror and admired himself, Then he said, "I do not think I am any happier now than when I was poorly #| dressed and wandering through the cold."----Fred Thornton, aged 11 yrs. The Squirrel and Little Rabbit. A little black squirrel and a little rabbit once lived in the same wood. When the nuts were ripe the little squirrel was very busy running up and down his tree with all kinds of $ little travel elfin, Dotped upon the window sill beside Bobby. "I was just on my way to visit my little brown cousin, the fisherman of New Guinea." "Well, if it wasn't too cold maybe I could go with you," laughed Bobby. "Is it any colder there than it is here?" "Colder!™ exclaimed Gocomeback. "Why, it's so very warm there that they wear just as few clothes as pos- sible. But hurry if you want to go with me." Before Bobby knew what was hap- ning Gocomeback had him by the and and they were sailing through the air toward a strange land.

Everything around shows that it is raining, The wo- men are clad in raincoats and rub- bers and are ng umbrellas. | Men go slouching by with rubbers in | the soft snow and ice. The roofs of the houses are black, edged with the white snow, and the rain is dripping from them. If they were tin, one could hear the rain drumming on them. All the trees seem to look black, and are also dripping with rain, The autos, rigs and carts splash up the water on the streets. School children prefer staying in the basgment rather than going out in the rein. Little children are looking through the windows or are playing inside because of the rain. No gro- ceries are outside on the shop win. dow-sills, but are inside because of it. So you can imagine what a rainy day 's llke.--Winifred Louise Rawson, Macdonald School. CONSTIPATION ~~ | or COSTIVENESS Constipation, although generally described as a disease, can never ex- ist unless some of the organs are deranged, which is generally found to be the liver. There is nothing more productive of general ill health than constipa- tion of the bowels, and a regular ac- tion is absolutely essentfal to general health. One of the most common, painful and troublesome troubles caused by conktipation is piles. and unless the bowels are kept open by the use of a good laxative such as Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills the whole system will be poisoned and many different complications of diseases arise, so if you would be well, keep your bowels regular, ' Mr. A. Roder, Hastings St. B., Van- couver, B.C, writes:--'I desire to ex- press my thanks for what Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills have done for me.

So he rubbed his hand over his mouth and bowed politely. There was not a picture, not a stick of furniture, not even a bed, a chair nor even a mat on the floor.

The | same stencil design of flowers or fruits | that you used for the chairs and table will be attractive for the curtains. Use | heavy, unbleached cotton, cheesecloth or scrim. These materials stencil well and make good wearing curtains. First Step Lay a large piece of blotting paper on a board, and over this the edge or the corner of the curtain that you are | going to stencil. The stencil patterr | should then be pinned to these abou' | half an inch/ from the hem. Ther test your oil colors on an old piece of cloth. The paint should be as thin as eed to mix turpentine with it. Ar old cup may hold each color, and you should have short, bristle brushes, _n¢ for each color. : Putting on the Colors Once you learn the piocesiof sten: ciling, you can do it very well. "Use a: little paint on the brush as possible, and dab the brush on the cloth that. shows through the holes of the pat- tern, working from the edges of the | design toward the ter. As you remove the stencil pin it farther along, hold the curta.n up to the light | to see if the color is right. Wipe off | the pins before using them again, and | | be very sure that the edges of the | stencil are clean of paint before you | fasten it on for the next strip of the design. | Finishing Touches | Be sure not to fold the curtains uh- | til the stenciling is perfectly dry. If | your colors are not too thick, the cur- | tains may be washed with the care en to ordinary colored ones. The ems may be done in hemstitching, and | a stenciled valance at the top of the | window will add ever so much to them. | If you did your furniture in yellow, | the curtains may be decorated with | stenciled nasturtiums in yellows and orange. A blue room needs roses on the curtains, and green painted furni- ture 2 atl ive ith 3 Sian of vio- lets that ; e ha gs. Doesn't this sound like your best-of- all craft work?
