XA "And the chil #aith the Lord of hosts, "in that day when I make up my jewels."--Malachi, " fitiii } The Kiddies Wee John of three was visiting his uncle Henry in the country fer the first timé. He was very interested in the live stock and one day for the first time, saw the cows milked, The milk was pouring into the pail in a steady stream and he watched it in- tently, . . "How would you like a drink of milk, John?" asked Uncle Henry, But Joka turned away, making a face, and IKed to the stable door, saying posi- tively: . : 8 "No, me milk bottle." After a while he became; used to milk coming in this way and in due time a couple of the cows had their little calves, whom one day he saw feeding industriously in the natural way. He was exceedingly interested aga'n, watching them for a long time. That night when he was eating his supper and was given his glass of milk he re- marked thoughtfully, "Nice little calves milking cows for Uncle Henry."

Heo liked doing that so well I wouldn't be surprised if Billy should be a baker when he grows up.

Billy had pretty sharp ears, for Mamma Lady didn't notice anything. "There it is again. Can't you hear it now?" \ "Yes, I believe I do. It sounds just like something scratching up there. Is that what you hear?" Billy nodded his head. "Let me see, I guess that part of the ceiling would be the attic upstairs," said Mamma. "When this last pan of cookies is baked we will go up and see if we can find out what it is." When they went upstairs and opened the attic door, who do you think was standing there, so glad to sde them? It was Fluffy. She had been shut in and couldnt get out. "Oh, Fluffy, I'm so glad you're found at last," cried Billy. You see, Mamma Lady knew that Fluffy was allright; of course she did. But she didn't know just exactly where she went to hide. It was a good thing she had put something up there for her to eat in case she had got in- to the attic, for she had been there three whole days and nights. "But why did she want to hide, Mamma? We wouldn't hurt her; she knows that,' said Billy, very puszled, petting Fluffy all the time. "Yes, dear, I believe she knows that but I think all at once she grew a lit- tle afraid of Rover. Was that it, Fluffy?" But Fluffy just purred and walked round and round Mamma Lady and Billy. "Haven't you got something to show us?" said Mamma Lady, Smiling. "Where are they, Fluffy?" But Fluffy just kept purring and pre- tended she didn't know what Mamma Lady was talking about. "Well, Billy, I guess we'll have to find out what that noise was, for Fluf- fy won't tell us." Once more she asked her, "Where are they, Fluffy, won't you tell me?" No, Flufty just sat down comfort- ably on the floor and curled her paws under her to stay there until they were ready to go downstairs. She even shut her eyes as though she were going to sleep. She wasn't, though, for once in a while she open- ed them a little to see what they were doing. "Can't you guess, Billy, what that noise was?" "No. I can't guess. Do you know?" "Yes, I know, dear," said Mamma Lady. But that is what we'll tell you about next time, if you keep quiet and won't make the least bit of noise. - "Being a fool is no disgrace." "'Tisn't that."

But it was in use 170 years ago in Berlin, ag is shown by a decree published at that time. When the conclusion of the peace of Huber- tusburg was celebrated in this city, the police headquarters issued the following proclamation: During to-night's illumination {in the city, carriages are ordered to move at a slow pace only, and drivers in- tending to turn at street corners and enter a side street are ordered to hold out their right hand so that they are not hindered.

What vi , of et db TC of Tota Read What do the young German high school girls between fifteen and twen- ty years reid to-day? was a question put in an inquiry sent out by the as- sociation of booksellers. Do they still devour the sweet "tales for young maidens" filled with sunshine and flowers and always ending happily? No, the times have changed. In this age, in which families are struggling to make both ends meet, in which the young woman of the educated class only too often must step out into the world and earn a living, the German high school girls want to read about the world as it presents itself and not as it is imagined. This, anyway, Is the gist of the replies received. Make- believe is taboo. With the whole na- tion having braced itself in the last ten years to face unpleasant facts un- flinchingly and to discuss in public conditions, so as to master them, which were formerly not even mention- ed in private circles, the young girls do not want to continue living in an abstract rose-tinted world. For the same reason they decline to be problematic. This, also, marks a change, for not so very long ago the probelmatic formed the chief topic of countless books, plays and conversa- tions. The Germans have still retain- ed their fondness for deep thinking, but it is now turned toward investigat- ing facts and not abstract quesions. The new desire for reality has lessen- ed the appreciation of the classics. This may seem surprising in a country honoring Goethe, Schiller and Shake- speare so highly. But the young girls think much more of the problems, the persons and the happenings of their books than of the poetical form in which they are cast. The books which are to appeal to them must be simple, sincere and.straightforward. The Use of Education Truth (London): ("It is high time we abolished the intellectual snobbery vhich regards art, literature, music, and the classics as members of the aristocratic educational family, with science as a distant cousin, and which spurns technology as being illegiti- mate."-- (A. E. Evans at a conference of the Nationai Union of Women Teachers.) There is a great deal too much intellectual snobbery in modern education, and the snobbery takes the form of learning, or trying to learn, a thing not for its own sake, but because it ha a social cachet. Subjects that oxercise the mind equally have an equal intellectual value, and in schools the utilitarian should be regarded as nore important than the cultural, for those who want to be cultured will realize their ambition on their own. The first requisite is to teach young people how to earn their living by doing useful work, not to cram them with ill-digested gobbets of informa- tion which are as different from cul- ture as chalk is from cheese.

Weather Bureaus Girdle the Globe Learn How Magnetic Storms Are Cau by Sun Mount Wilson Observatory, Cal.-- Twenty-five weather bureaux of the sun are being organized around the earth. By these, astronomers expect to learn just how storms in the sun cause magnetic storms on the earth. The question involved is how long it takes the outbreaks on the sun to start a storm on the earth. Light from the sun travels the 93, 000,000 miles to the earth in eight minutes. Perhaps the magnetic dis- turbance travels that fast, but it will be a year or so befora the astronomers are ready to report the results of the solar observations. Then will be known the possibility of forecasting storms on earth caused by solar mag- netic disturbances. Dr. Charles E., St. John, member of the international committee' on the relation of solar to terrestrial phen- omena, announced recently that or- ganizations of the weather bureaux of the sun may be perfected next July in Brussels. The committee holds ite triennial session then. These solar weather bureaux will be equipped with spectroheiloscopes that observe the bright and dark flocculi on the sun's disk. Dr, George Ellery Hale of Pasadena, is the in- ventor, Dr. St. John announced observa- tions here had established in one case a magnetic earth storm registered on the Mt. Wilson magnometer corres- ponding precisely to a solar outbreak observed through the spectrohelio- scope. The twenty-five solar weather bu- reaux will have their international headquarters here, sending in regular reports of their observations to be checked and compared at Mount Wil- son with observations and magnetic earth storm records. Some of these solar outbreaks last only a few min- utes, and only by observations made simultaneously from various points around the earth can their effects be accurately determined. merrier Berlin's Tin"Hated Cabbies Are Rapidly Disappearing Berlin.--Only 116 horse-cabs are left in Berlin and the old-time drivers with their high hats made of metal in- stead of silk have all but disappeared.

FOR TEACHERS OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS (By Rev. Professor Fred W. Langford, M.R.E., Toronto.) We have followed the latter part of Jesus' public ministry through this Quarter. We have scen some of his greatest expositions of his gospel of love and its implication fo: our life, on through the period of growing hos- tility from the leaders to his cruei- fixion and resurrection--the greatest of all his expositions of his gospel of love. In the discussion >f this week, with so wide a field to "over, we can- not hope to do more (han to restate a few of the great lessons of the Quar- ter's study. Some of the following questions recall the lessons of the past weeks. What was Jesus' teaching about humility?" Is it wa asset or a liability in this age? Give some illustrations of the humble spirit as a person of real strength. Give the gospel message--the real good news, disclosed in the story of the forgiving father and the return- ing prodigal. What does it shean to be spiritually "lost"? Was Zacchaus lost in the same way, or as effectually, as was the prodigal son? What about the rich man who had no thought for Lazarus? What is the value to you of the ob- servance of the Lord's Supper? Could Jesus have become the Saviour of man if he had stopped short of the cross? If he had net risen from the dead? How would you tell a stranger to Christianity what you mean by calling Jesus the world's Saviour. FOR TEACHERS OF INTERMEDI- ATE AND SENIOR DEPTS. (By Rev. A. E, McCutcheon, B.D, Believille, Ont.) Aim--To discover the appeal and claim of Jesus as our Saviour, as pre- sented in the complete study of the Quarter. Introduction--Who has been the central figure in our studies of this Quartec' Frem whose records were these studies taken? What do you think was lLuke's idea as he told the story of Jesus? Presentation--What do you think Jesus meant to teach in his story of : (1) The Predigal Son. (2) Phe Rich Man and Lezzarus. (3) The Parable of the Pounds. (4) The Judge and the Widow. (5) The Publican and the Sinner. Describe cach of the following inci- dents: (1) The Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. (2) the Crucifixion. (3) Jesus' Treatment of Zacchmus. (4) The Scene in Gethsemane, In your own words tell what you think is the meaning of: (1) The Lord's Supper. (2) The Resurrection. (3) The Triumphal Entry. (4) The Crucifixion. Some general questions: (1) How did Jesus teach a lesson on humility? (2) How did he illustrate the grace of humility? (3) How did Jesus teach that God's attitude to men was love? (4) What was the sin of the rich man? (5) Who was Zaccaeus? (6) Where did Zacchaeus live? (7) What great change came over his life? How? (8)What and where is the Mount of Olives? (9) Cite any inci- dent of 'mportance that occurred on the Mourt of Olives. (10) Why did Jesus weep over Jerusalem? (11) Why did Jesus cast the people out of the Temple? (12) What was the Pass- over? (13) How and where did Jesus observe his last Passover with the disciples? (14) Why did Jesus go :nto | Gethsemane? (15) What help came tu Jesus in Gethsemane? (16) How did the disciples know that Jesus was i risen and living? (17) Cite any great | principle learned to guide you in your conduct. Application--Do we owe anything to Jesus? What do we owe him? How do you think we can best pay him what we owe him? What do you think he desires of us? Will you accept t'm as your Saviour and Master, and t : to follow him? -- PULLED JAIL DELIVERY JUDGE, THAT'S ME GUY. RE SAD HE WAS RE-TAKING [= THE CENSUS AND HE | T™e BIGGEST New Vegetables Bred By Scis: Roddage and Caranip Are * Curios From Professor's : Carden | London.--New names may &0 = be seen on British menus. They will be those of vegetables never before tasted or even heard of, for they have been produced only this year, the results of long experimental work. Their novelty may make them leap to popularity as in the case of the grape-fruit, Most of our present vegetables are natives of Britain, or they have been brought from abroad and culti- vated here, and this is.generally the chief distinction between them, apart, of course, from their national charac- istics. But the new-comers are "cross breeds," produced from two or more different kinds of vegetables. A "cross" between the cabbage and the radish promises something of a novelty, and this has been ob- tained. It has been found to grow well and to be very fertile, alto- gether a successful vegetable. Per- haps it will be named a *"cabbish," or, maybe, a "raddage." It has been grown by the Russian Institute of Applied Botany, which has also produced other astonishing things in the plant world. The In- stitute has over a thousand workers all busily engaged fn studying and experimenting with their country's plants, with a view to benefiting Russian agriculture. Long Known M:thods This Institute is not the -originator of this method of plant breeding. It has been practised all over the world for many years. Vegetables, flowers, and cereals have all been improved by its application. Nature used insects and winds to transfer pollen from one plant to another and produce new plants, but the plant breeder has improved on this. He performs delicate operations on plants, needing more skill and lightness of touch than even a sur geon requires. In this manner he ensures perfect fertilization. Some idea of the patience neces- sary can be gained when it is under- stood that the average time needed for the production of a new plant is ten years. And this may end in a failure, to the bitter disappointment of the breeder. Another vegetable: evolved by the [ustitute has the qualities of the cabbage, he raddish and the turnip. (an you imagine what fit will taste like? So far it seems to have no name, but we may come to know it as a "caranip," or perhaps a "caturdish." The professors of botany, however, will probably give {it some high- gounding title. Another remarkable result of scientific cultivation vchieved years ago is celery. To obtain this, ex- periments were carried out with & British weed, growing in marshy places and near the sea' By this work the world has been enriched with those nutty-flavored stalks 80 much in demand. Nature has sometimes performed the office of breeder of new planta. A familiar one is the caulifiower, which, it is generally agreed, sprang from the cabbage when In a wild state.
