One of he most curious of these is the tale of ho appearance of an air- plane, tha account of which was writ- ten between the years 944 and 956 A.D., during the reign of an Irish king named Congalach. The authenticity of the date of the manuscript is be- yond question, and the description is as follows: Sa Congalach reigned in Meath---and was evidently given to farming pur- suits, for the story goes on to tell of his one day attending a fair at a place now called Teltown, on the Meath Blackwater, midway betwesn the towns of Navan and Kells, While he was inspecting horsés, for which, that county is famous, a sound in the sky caused him, and all the people, to look up, and they beheld a large ship float: ing far above them, It appeared to be fully equipped with a numerous, and evidently intelligent crew. After a time, during which the people in the fair gdzed in silent wonder at the phenomenon, the huge vessel gradual- ly floated toward some elouds into which it entered, and the awe-struck crowds saw it no more. This same story Is told with slight variations by the Norse documents, named Kongs Skuggio. Yet another tale is told in one of these Irish legends, in which the writer prophesies that a time will will run through the streets of Jers salem, These stories are, of course, mere legends of imagination, but it is in- teresting to find them noted in docu- ments of unbounded aniuity, and in local as well as in ancient ruins and sagas; also that such shadows of the actualities of the twentieth century hould have anated from the thoughts of people in the tenth.

PEOPLE WHO NEED HEALTH BUILDING Should Enrich Their Blood by Using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. There are conditions of health in which so particular organ appears to be at fault, yet the patient is miser- able and unable to pursue the activi- ties of dally life with vigor and en- joyment. The remedy needed is a medicine that will benéfit the whole system rather than a part. The blood reaches every part of the body and an improvement in its quality is quick- ly followed by an fmprovement in the whole system. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make a prompt and visible improve- ment in the blood, and bring new health and strength to ailing people. The'value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is proved by the following statement: Mrs. W. F. Nash, R. R. No. 1, Bellamy, Ont., writing on behalf of her husband says: "For the past two summers my husband has taken Dr. Willams' Pink Pills with much success, He was in a weak con- dition, did not sleep well at night, tired all the time, with poor appetite, The result was he gol very thin, He de- cided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and by the time he had taken three boxes he was feeling and looking so much better that it was very notice- able that the pills were all they were recommended to be. We feal very grateful and advise the use of the pills in all cases of weakness."

Mothers of to-day are taking thelr place as educators in a system of pre- school music training recently inaug- urated. Special classes for training mothers to share in the musical in- struction of their children have been successfully introduced, In these classes it is recognized that) expres- sion and appreciation through listen- ing must come first with the child, but that this should be followed closely by expression through bodily movement, the voice in singing, and the hands in playing the piano. A statement of the principle under- lying this new instruction is contain- ed in the pamphlet through quotations from Rose Ella Cunningham, who has developed such a program in Massd- chusetts. She says: "To begin to instill the principles ot rhythm in children while they are yet infants is not to begin a whit too soon. To teach children to sing as they learn to speak is not impossible, and child- ren so taught in their first year pro- gress rapidly until the time they en- ter the first grade in school, when teachers welcome them as. a distinct addition to their classes because of their unusual musical grounding. "We need look back, I think, only upon our own days of childish music lessons to know that children would far rather go from their music teach- ers and their lessons back to a home where their music study is fully under- stood and where they receive explicit encouragement based on the actual fin- ger exercises and rudimentary les- sons in harmony, than to go into the parental vacuum which was our lot, when there was no home interest in our musical studies, no understanding and comradeship in the study," RS York Minster's 1300th Anniversary Observed York Minster's 1,300th anniversary was celebrated on New Year's Eve.
