It inhabits Southern Africa, and is a deadly and effective enemy : to serpents, which, constitute its a - main ftem of diet. Poisonous ser- : pents are nothing in its young life. It merely guards with its wing, when ® serpent rises to the attack, and with its wing dashes the snake to the ground, finishing it off with its powerful beak. If the snake, like Charles II; seems unconsciously long (in dying, the bird grabs it by the ."meck, rises to a great height and drops it. ! ; Snakes, however, are not its only food.

To find a child, and still its sorrow- ings, Uplift its head and make aright each wrong, Or pluck a wayside flower to breathe a song Unto the child, which just a flower sings. i It is the many little things we do That are the truly mighty things of life Unmissed by us, some kindness to impart, To find in later years that we may, too, Feed on those when shadowed days are rife, And find the flower growing in our heart. --R. A. Hamilton. rel Music of Night Between the hours of dusk and dark, I paused before a forest dense, The leaves were still, no sound, no stir, : And trees stood grim in stern de- fense. 'When darkness fell I turned to go-- A halting breath, a minor strain, I thought I saw a moving form, And then I heard a weird refrain, My pulses leaped, my heart was taut, I seemed to feel' your kiss once more, And heard your deep voice say, "My love, May I have just one wee encore?" Was fancy, playing me a trick, Or branches weaving shadow lace? The music rose in lilting notes, And I was sure I saw your face.

Beautiful Daughter--"Well, I pro- posed to Harold myself to-night." Her Mother--"You must be mad!" Beautiful Daughter--"You're darned right I am! He turned me down." While we are on the subject, we might say one trouble with young people to-day is that they do too much petting, and another trouble with their parents is that they do not do enough.

The scene was the smoking room on a popular train. The newcomer of- fered his package of cigarettes to the only occupant, but his offer was de- clined with: Occupant--*"No, thanks, just finish- ed one. Or rather, six would be more like it, but I've got to do something to keép my mind off of business." Newcomer--"Business not so good?" Occupant--"Not so good? (grouch- ingly) It's terrible! Every merchant I've visited this week is complaining. Some of 'em spent an hour or more giving me the gruesome details, and now they've got me feeling the same way." Newcomer--"I don't see how they can do it." Occupant--*"Do what?" Newcomer--"Spend an hour talking about 'business conditions'." Occupant--"No business coming in, I tell you--nothing else to do. You don't understand." Newcomer--""I'm afraid I don't. I'm a local merchant, but I'm so busy tak- ing care of my business I haven't had time to learn of this slump you speak of. Matter of fact, my business for the first nine months of this year ex- ceeded that of last year." Occupant--"Say, are you just hand- ing me Pollyanna stuff to cheer me up, or is this on the level?" Newcomer--*I don't see any reason why I would want to 'kid' you; I never saw you before, and it will prob- ably be better for my morale if I never do again." Occupant--*"I'm sorry, stranger, I'm just down in the dumps, and I forgot myself. Here, have onc of my cigar- ettes, and then tell me how you put it over." Newcomer--"Put it over? I didn't know I was doing anything unusual, and so never stopped to analyze the reasons." Occupant--"Well, now that you've heard my story, I wish you'd try." (Deep silence for a minute or two). Newcomer--"About two months ago, I wrote two contractors saying that I would like to built an addition to my home, giving me an extra bedroom and a sleeping porch with an enlarged kitchen and breakfast room on the first floor.

Snow White are the far-off plains, and white The fading forests grow; The wind dies out along the height, And denser still the snow; A gathering weight on root and tree, Falls down scarce audibly. The meadows and far-sheeted streams Lie still without a sound; Like some soft minister of dreams The snow-fall hoods me round; In wood and water, earth and air, A silence everywhere, The evening deepens, and the gray Folds closer earth and sky; The world seems shrouded for away; Its noises sleep, and I, Ag secret as yon buried stream, Plod dumbly on, and dream. --Archibald Lampman. Guard the Children ~ from Autumn Colds The fall is the most severe season of the year for colds--one day is warm, the next cold and wet, and un- less the mother is on her guard, the little ones are seized with colds that may hang on all winter. Boby's Own Tablets are mothers' best friend in preventing or banishing colds. They act as a gentle laxative, keeping the bowels and stomach free and sweet. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent eolds, or it it does come on suddenly their prompt use will re- lieve the baby. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. sh dig How to Avoid Cold Feet You can avoid cold feet this winter by lengthening your blankets and com- forters so that they will tuck in securely, since so few really come long enough.

It Jeans the gradual accumulation of body poisons which dull the mind, damp the spirits, sap the nervous strength and lower the whole vitality. Kruschen Salts make constipation impossible. Therefore, if you keep té Kruschen you need never know the meaning of melancholy ; never feel * nervy " or depressed. . LT: Operation; "I was very weak after an op- eration.
