Michael rubbed his horses and bedded them with hay, While from the driveway gleamed the car brought home on yesterday. But only when his cherished bays were ready for the night : He turned to eye the polished thing that caught the lantern's light. "Yo're fit and fine, ye comet's tail," he murmured pridefully, "But sure, yell never dare the roads me nags have dared for me." The storm, to meet the moonrise, blared nearer through the hills; A sudden, passing drench of rain sprayed off the window sills; Keen, branching forks of blinding fire split downward from the sky; And through a sudden, breathless hush a lash of wind went by; Went roaring by and came again, to die and come once more; A writhing maple wrenched its roots and sprawled before a door, "Twas then the heavens severed be- fore one rending blade; And in a moment more the wires rang out a call for aid. (Oh, somewhere there are neighbors yet). Black homes winked into light As word and answer leaped across the tumult of the night; ud readily, as yesterday they stopped a to swap a yarn, man and boy, old Michael's friends turned out to save his barn. - Now, The clouds were rose and orange and flying swirls of flame.

In scanty clothes old Michael the rain and wind defied; Stood with his silver hair ashine; a horse on either side. Behind him blazed his ruined barn, 2 bursting, glowing flame. He did not seem to see them there un- til they called his name, And "Michael, did you save the ear?" 'Twas Dillon raised the shout, "The car be hanged!" he answered back. "I got me horses out." ---- What a Beak! As everyone knows, the beaks of, birds differ to a certain extent. Few people, however, realize exactly how closely a beak is adapted to do its work, ' The beron uses its beak as a dagger ; and very expert it is in its use in this respect, for which purpose the beak is specially suited. The helmet horn- lll uses its beak in exactly the same Way as we use a hammer, and its beak is hard and shaped for this use. The beaks differ because of the birds' different methods of dealing with their food; this is the case with many fish-eating birds. The scissor bill, for instance, differs considerably from the duffin; the short flat beak of the latter bird ts made for holding as well as catching fish, but it is also remarkable for an- other reason. At the base of the beak are certain brightly-colored plates; when the moulting season comes round these plates are shed with the feathers. They appear again, however, the fol- lowing spring. : 'The strangest beaks of all are per haps those 'belonging to the hind bird of New Zealand, for the beak of the male bird differs from the beak of the female, and when food is found by one to be out of reach of its beak, it is waid that the male is called, to see if, with its different shaped beak, it is able to capture the morsel. .

The sugar appears in small white masses and in small flakes. It is quite hard and dry, not at all sticky, and tastes like a high quality of refined sugar. At first Professor Davidson thought that the sugar appeared ag the result of aphides which punctured the foli- age. But he soon discovered that in- sects were not present and that only healthy firs ylelded sugar. He therefore came to the correct conclusion that the phenomenon was the result of atmospheric causes. In the dry-belt region the abundant sun- shine produces an excess. of carboby- drates. Moreover, the same abundant sun so heats the ground that there 'is great pressure in the roots of the fir trees even at night. As a result the leaves become water gorged and ex ude water through tneir tips. This water is quickly evaporated and the sugar is left. Though the Douglas fir trees will never be a dependable source of sup- ply for sugar, the sugar will always 'be valuable to chemists and phy- sicians. -------- In a Curious Predicament. Two years ago a German prisoner of war named Hopp was tried by court- martial for the murder, in atrocious circumstances, of a farmer's wife and daughter. He was condemned death, not be executed, and it would seem that he will have to wait in prison all his life as a condemned man. whose sentence can nbither.be remitted nor carried out. In the Berne convention of 1918 the Allies and Germany agreed not to larry eut sentences on prison- ers of war, It was meant to insert in the peace treaty a clause enabling the Allies to deal with flagrant crimes, but at the Jast moment it was omitted. --London Chroniele. coeeesieneneneent ff enenenetnat a BABY'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS IN THE HOME Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she always keeps a supply on. hand, for the first trial convinces her there is nothing to equal them in keeping children well. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers and making teeth- ing easier... Concerning them, Mrs. Saluste Pelletier,, St. Dumas, Que., writes:--"I have used Baby's Own never without them in the house. They haveralways given the greatest satisfaction and I can gladly recom- mend them to all mothers of little ones." The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. nc eee ner ren The Merry Bells of England. Most people like chimes of- bells. Yet a large number of us have not the vaguest idea of how bells are rung, Ringing a beil does not merely con- sist in tugging a rope. Really speak- ing, it is an art, and involves physical and mental exercise. An inexperi- enced person soon becomes tired, and until he has learned to give the rope just the correct swing he will continue to find it hard work. A ringer of prac- tice usually finds four hours of con- tinued ringing exacting, though on Jaster Monday, 1909, at All Saints, Loughborough, a record of twelve hours' continuous ringing was attain- ed. But this is-a record hard to beat! A belfry usually contains from six to twelve bells--though twelve is an uncommon number, the usual being eight. These bells vary in note from the tenor, which is the heaviest, down to the treble, the lightest. They are rung in changes. That is to say that the tenor always comes first, and after that the other bells follow in various orders. A peal consists of at least five thousand changes, all different, so that the bell-ringer has to concentrate a great deal, or he will spoil the peal. In ringing a peal the bells are turned from side to side. This means that, when the rope is pulled, the wholly part which the ringer holds in his hand--usually called the solly--is lift- ed several feet into the air. When you hear the bells. playing to but it is now found that he can-| Tablets for the past ten years and am } RICH, RED BLOOD | "THE GREATEST NEED Nearly All Tis Are Due to Poor, Watery Blood--How to In- prove Its Condition. 'To be in a healthy condition the human body requires a constant sup- ply of new, rich blood. Nearly all the ills fom which people suffer arise from one cause--poverty of the blood. If the blood is rich and red it absorbs nourishment from the food which passes into the stomach and distri- butes that nourishment to the brain, nerves, muscles and all the organs of the body. When the blood is weak and poor in quality it cannot do its natural work of feeding the brain and body, and the result is weakness and disease. Headaches and backaches, loss. of appetite, poor digestion, nervousness, pimples and unsightly blotches on the skin, all indicate that the blood has become impure--that it is not doing its appointed work. If this condition is not remedied it will grow worse and worse, and a complete breakdown will eventually occur. To bring abcut a healthy condition of the blood no medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Their one mission is to make new, rich blood, which reaches every part of the body, bringing with it new health and increasing vitality. Thousands have testified to the bene- fit they have found in the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when run down in health. Amorg these is Mrs. Ber- tha Kendall, Darling Avenue, Toronto, who says:--In the summer of 1918 I was in poor health. My appetite was variable, and I was weak and unfit for work, and I suffered a great deal from nervous headache and palpita- tion of the heart. A lady friend re- commended Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which I used with splendid results, as by the time I had taken six boxes I felt like a new woman. I think Dr. Williams Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold to every nervous, sick woman, as they cure quickly and save doctor bills." Dr. Williams Pink Pills may be had from any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or 6 boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. a Hatch Eggs Electrically. The largest electric hatching plant in the world is located in southern California. It is said to be the first establishment of the kind that has fully and satisfactorily solved the problem of bringing chicks into the world on a wholesale scale by elec- tricity. The plant has an output capacity of 30,000 chicks a week, and it works full blast seven months in the year. A thermostat of special construction regulates the temperature of the in- cubators automatically and so re- liable that the percentage of eggs hatched successfully is extraordinari- ly high. } There is no danger of fire; no loss of chicks from chilling or overheating --the brooders being electrically warmed; no lamps to be filled or ad- justed; no gas burner to go out and asphyxiate the downy birds. All that is necessary is to turn a switch, and the machine attends to thhe rest of the business. The electric mother hen does her work at a cost of one cent a chick. Even the coops and chicken yards are illuminated by electricity, getting the laying fowls on the job earlier in the day. deat ear WEA tere MOTHER!

For a long time England possessed the only endowed flagstaff in the world, that belonging to the Royal 'Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Margate. This staff was erected in the first year of the reign of King Ed- ward VII, in commemoration of his accession to the throne. The cost was cefrayed by the pupus and friends, and the collection taken was so large that it enabled the institution to pur- chase twenty flags. Even when the staff and the flags had been paid for, £40 remained in the treasury. This sum was invested for an endowment funda. There is an endowed flagstaff in the United States, that on the common at Lawrence, Mass. At the time of the Lawrence strike some years ago, when many indignities were shown to the American flag, there was held a fiag parade of .40,000 persons, each carrying a flag as a protest. A public- spirited citizen, Joseph Shattuck, of- fered to erect a flagstaff and to set aside funds, the interest on which would buy flags for the staff. The city of Lawrence accepted this offer, and to-day on its common is one of the finest flagstaffs in the world. __--r_s ub F REEZONE" Lift Off Corns} No Pain} Doesn't hurt a bit!

'Influence' a Drawback. "Influence is the worst handicap any young man can have," says the presi- dent of a copper company. It tends to make him feel he need not exert himself to his full capacity and has a bad effect upon him. When other workmen learn that one of their num- ber has a pull with somebody higher up they look' at him askance and the effect upon these other men is bad. Then the foreman, or whoever is over him, will either show him un- due favors and push him into a_ posi- tion for which he is not fitted, or, if the boss is of a different stamp, he will hesitate to promote him even when he deserves it because the boss knows the others will think it Is a case of favoritism. The effect, therefore, is bad upon the whole organization.
