Don't oppose God's plan! Work with it--discover it--guide it! That is the Wolf Cub idea. In 1914, in response to continual demands from boys under 12 years of age for admission to Boy Scout troops, Sir Robert Baden-Powell answered with the plans for the organization of the Wolf Cubs. And in doing Great Father of Scouting also met the need for a scheme of recreational cation that would teach the small boy those first lessons in loyalty to the right, self-control, respect for authority and kindness to others, that are the foundation of good-citizenship. The programme of the Wolf Cubs, paralleling the plan of Scouting for older boys, has been built up about the natural activities and impulses of the boy of eight to twelve years of age. The small boy likes to play at wolf, or bear; barking, growling; pursuing, being pursued. Very weil, let him play at wolf and you play at wolf with him. And into the play weave the fundamentals of loyalty (to hi Pack), obedience (giving in to th Old Wolf), and self-control (not giving in to himself). In a few words, this is the theory of the Wolf Cubs. Wolf Cub organizations and packs may be formed in a manner similar to the way in which Boy Scout troops are formed. Instead of a Scoutmaster there is a Cubmaster, who may either a man or a woman, and instead of a Troop Committee there is a Pack Committee. Further particulars warding the organization, registration and chartering of Wolf Cub "Packs" and with reference to this most interesting branch of the Boy Scout Movement may be had upon application to the Boy Scouts Association, Bloor and Sherbourne Sts., Toronto.

In order to see the elephant at his best, says a writer, you must go to India. There he is used as a beast of burden, and his intelligence comes out strikingly. He is said to be the only animal that will work unattended. But for all that he is not fond of labor, for he will keep an eye on the boss, and when the whistle blows he will drop whatever he i3 doing and run for the feeding place--a trait that he is said to share with some human creatures. We do not believe that animals, intelligent as they often are, have quite the sense of humor that human beings i have; yet here is an authenticated! story of one small elephant's prank j that clearly points to a sort of mis-lievious humor. A mother elephant was dragging from one spot to another in a ship-an extraordinarily heavy timber that she had been unable to pick up. > chains were fastened to her col-each joined to a huge hook, which fastened into the end of the log. As she toiled along with her burden half-grown baby elephant walked She came at last to an incline here she had to exert her entire :rength to drag the log up; and while Surnames and Their Origin CROTHERS Variations--Crowthers, Crowder.

Few persons in this country who j bear the family names of Crowthers, Crowther or Crowder knew that these names are the same, or what they mean, for the word from which they have been taken, though a common one in the middle ages, at the period when family nanus first made their appearance, has long since lessary for identifi- The "crouth" or "crowd" of medieval England was a musical instrument, a six-stringed affair, nearer in appearance to the cello than to any other of our modern instruments in the violin class. The "crouther," "crowther" or "crowder," of course, was the man who played it. Most often he was a travelling musician, playing profitably at local fairs and in the castles of the nobility. The surnames arose first through the habit of referring to "Geoffrey le Crouther" or "Roger le Crowder," and as sons very often followed the same calling as their fathers, it is easy to see how the surname, at first descriptive, being passed down from father to son, finally lost its descriptive significance, and came to be a distinguishing family name, in a period when the population of the country was growing so rapidly, asd intercommunication between various communities increasing so as to make the bearing of more GROSVENEUR Variation--Grosvener.

The chief symptom of rheumatism is pain. The most successful treatment is the one that most quickly relieves and banishes the pain. Many rheumatic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood; when rheumatism is associated with thin blood it cannot be corrected "until the blood is built up. Mr. Ed. Hall, Main-a-Dieu, N.S., suffered from rheumatism for years, but was more fortunate than many victims of the disease, for he found a remedy that so built up his entire system that he is now free from rheumatism. Mr. Hall says: "I was taken down with rheumatism, and at times was under the treatment of several of the best doctors in Cape Breton, but they held out no hope for my recovery from the trouble. I was confined to bed for three years and a helpless cripple from the trouble. I could not move, and had to be turned in sheets. My legs and fingers drawn out of shape, and sores devel oped on my body as the result of long confinement to bed. this serious condition when a friend advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I began taking them. The first benefit I felt from the pills was an improved appetite, and then I began to feel stronger, and was finally able to get out of bed and go about on crutches. I continued taking the pills for months, slowly but surely getting new strength, and finally I was able to lay the crutches aside. I will al- JSoothes tired nerves.

As proving the very real efficiency and desirability of the mechanical way of washing dishes, a series of tests recently conducted by a resident of White Plains, N.Y., are extremely interesting. The electrical dishwasher was placed in this particular home on trial, and the skeptical "prospect" .started his tests with a determination to prove the general worhlessness of the device. Count was made of the number of pieces of tableware used by the family of two adults and two small children, for each meal, and the operations of handling and washing, both by hand and by machine, also were counted and timed. It was found, futhermore, that the machine's capacity for washing the inside of bottles was more than human, and that greasy pots and pans, with the aid of a washing powder supplied with the apparatus, promptly became spotless without any of the usual unpleasant effort. As the machine's capacity was sufficient for the dishes of meals, it was a simpe matter to reduce the number of operations still further. As a result, fhe housewife's total gain amounted to two hours a day, or even more. The Future of Brazil. Brazil, which is most wholly in the tropics, has the opportunity to upset the belief that no people can reach the very highest civilization in a tropical climate. The census, just completed, credits Brazil with 30,500,000 people, which makes it the 'second American country in point of popula-modern men of science, most of them British, maintain that when means have been found to utilize the heat of the sun as mechanical energy the tropics will become centres of production and therefore of civilization.

Freezing Points of Fruits Are Measured Electrically. In an attempt to evolve methods of preventing the spoilage of fruits and vegetables by freezing while in transit or storage, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is conducting thousands of experiments at the Arlington, Va., laboratories, to determine at what temperatures these products freeze. The experimental apparatus consists of a large tank in which brine is circulated, and thermocouples, which possess the peculiar prepesty of generating weak and variable currents of electricity when they are subjected to changes in temperature. These variations are registered by delicate meters. So sensitive are the thermocouples that they will detect a differ .nee of temperature of .0001 deg. In service, a test specimen of fruit and a thermocouple are placed in one of 12 cups in the lid of the brine tank. By tching the specimen and the meter closely the exact temperature at hich freezing begins is determined ith great accuracy.
