There is an atmosphere of res-t about seme home*, perhaps unac- countable, but undeniably present, af fecting all who are foitunate enough to iTo.'s their thrcihold!!. I know such a home intimately. It is sim pie and harmonious, and while it is joyously bright it is restful. There is no sen-se of confusion, because the woman who made it what it is used neither figured draperies nor rugs of a decided pattern with figured wall- pap«>rs. Neither did she put dark or Uirge-figured paper in a small rooru, for it is always queaiionable and seldom looks well. She did use a dim, soft tapestry paper in the hall, and in the bedrooms some small, well-covered patterns that did not "travel." She did not furnish any room en- tirely in browns, but isho put plenty of dull-blue in the brown room, givl ing a balanced ration of color. Neith- er, did she p-ut a depressing blue pap-, er on any room, for that might give the family a chronic case of the ' blues. "Cold" looking paper.^, Buch ' a.-!^ grays, blues or greens, were not put in ft north room, nor in a room ; having little light, but yellows were used to reflett all the light pos-i siblc. She avoided using yellows,' oranges or reds, exo«pt in small touches, in rooms having o strong glare of light, but put her graysi, or cool colors, in these rooms. Nor did she use lK)rder.s on her papers, for! boi'dcrs caiTy the eyes up to the ceil- intc- I 'iliere were not many picture:, but : Kuch as she had were gobd, (".ith sim-j j)!e, not ornate, frames. She avoided' hanging them against a I'gurcd wall- paper, for this causes confu.si'>n. ' Neither did she hang her pictures i from one liook, thereby leading the eye, by' the converging lines of the wire, to the liook instead of to the picture. There was nothing in the house too good to be \ised. She avoided put- ting more tiian five objects oa a mantelpiece, nor were the living- rooms cluttered with loo.se photo- graphs. The rugs and large pieces of furniture were not placed "on the bin-',", .straight, structural lines be- ing So much morercstf:il. There was no pl.ate-rail, with a lot of dust- collecting plates and other objects on it; nor were there any dead, sniffed fish or birds hanging in the dining loom to )enroach her when she want- ed to enjoy a savoiy little trout or a piece of game. Her ehinu was not painted with realistjlc anijnial.< oii" flo-»ver3, for who would care for ice- cream served on a lob.ster'.s back ".' Neither did this homemuker dis- play all her .silver on the sideboard, for .-'he found that a di.sh of fruit and a pair of candle.stick.s looked so mucli more attractive, and reqi'ired less ca re. "*> The exterior of the house was not painted a cold, stony gray, nor a bright green, nor pink. Instead it v. as paintpjl white with a mossy- green roof. She <iid not paint her porch-ceilir.g.s sea-green ncr sky-blue, for such colors tire sen.sitive e.vcs. Nor did the paint the outside win- dow -.?a.die» blaclk, making tlie win- tiowji look like great holes against the I : • iark interior. And because of the things she did not do, ihe made a hoTtie that was like a bit of heaven on eart h . So many of us are controlled by circumstances that it is not -always possible to follow a definite plan; but by recogn.zing su-ch fundamental riil«« as thl« homeniafcer observed, and keeping them in mind whenever changes are contemplated, we may in lime reach the goal or at least travel along the path which leads to it. See That Children Knt Wholesome Food. Nutrition is power, force and en- ergy. TTie human bo<ly must create this for Itself; man is not a battery tliat can be charged or reloaded »t will, therefore it }>ehooves us to look well to the requirements of our body. Underfed children will grow to maturity fully two or three inches under normal height, and with a handicap of twelve to eighteen pounds below normal weight. This has been tracetl in most instances to faulty nutrition, insanitary surroundings and lack of care for the physical well- being. The .cffic'ent mother must under- stand thoroughly and be alert to pre- vent this dw"arfing of the capacity of the human being. One child is permitted to oat what he likes, diiscaii- ting food lliat is vitally necessary if he is to g'av<- bone, teeth and muscles structure. Then, agairi, some mothers will givt- ihe child a nickel or a dime for cake, pie or ice cream for the noon lunch- eon. They are indifferent to the source of these ariicles. A saucer of weU-eo<d<cd cereal and milk would have satisfied the child and at the same time have supplied him witii the food needed for nutrition.

For nine yeara in succession ex- periments were conducted «t the On- tario Agricultural College at Guelph in treating winter wheat in differen! ways to prevent the development of stinking aniut ad the results have been very satisfactory. In the aver- age for five years, untreated »eed pro- duced 4.2 per cent, of smutted heads, while seed which was immersed for 20 minutes in a solution made by adding one pint of formalin to 42 gallons of water produced a crop which was practically free from smut. This treatment has been found to be fcimple in operation, comparative'y cheap, efTecttjal in completely killing the smut, and productive of the high- est yield of grain. The results of twelve separate teats made ut the College show an average increase in yield of grain per acre of C.8 bushels from large as compared with small seed, of 7.8 bush, from plump us compared with shrunken seed, and of 35 (i bush, from sound as compared with broken seed. Thoroughly ripened seed produced more grain and produced more straw than seed which was cut at an earlier ttage of maturity. Eight separate tests demonstrated that land on which field peas had been used as green manure yielded 6.5 bush, of wheal per acre more than land on which buckw^heat had been used as green manure. Winter wheat grown on clover sod also yielded bet- ter than that grown on timothy sod. ♦ ' Earlaps of the Japanese. The oarlap is almost entirely want- ing with the Japanese, but this ap- parent anomoly is none at all. It is we whose ears are badly formed, or at i least different from those which na- | lure, if not interfered with, would I have given us. Our ear is disfigured ; because for centuries our ancestor-.^ : loaded it with more or less heavy onianienls, which in the course of time elongated its inferior part. We inherited from them both the suctom and its effect â€" the lap.
