"Now, I wonder what that can be for," she considered. "Oh, I know! I re- member that I promised to get down early to-day and make some biscuits ky I had this on." Bhe hurried into her clothes and ran downstairs in time to make the prom. sed biscuits. When she was ready for school, how. ever, she began to think that the string had not been put there to make her remember the biscuits, after all. She had a feeling it was for else. She thought a long time, Then * her face cleared. She had for- gotten to take the teacher a book she had promised to bring her some time. She went off to school happily, but not quite sure that was what the string had been for. All day the string bothered her. She remembered to call up a friend she had neglected. She remembered te leave her watch to be fixed. She re- membered to take home her crayons to work on a map. She even remem- to her mother's astonishment, to stop at the grocery for a loaf of bread. She remembered to stop fer Alice to go to the club party. If mother will let you have some the old corks she has been saving, can make all sorts of doll and toys. All you need for tools is knife and some glue. The casiest thing to make is s chair. Take a flat cork and stick four long pins into it for legs. Then put a row of pins in the back, half way round. Teke some yarn or rags and weave back and forth between the pins to férm the back of the chair, Cork Stove You can'make a stove by gluing one of the larger flat corks to a middle-sized one. The stovepipe is made by gluing three long straight corks together and then fastening them on the back of the stove. under the cart. The horse is hitched up by gluing a piece of paper on his back and then gluing the shafts into loops formed by the ends of the strip of paper, just as shown in the picture. Saliboats of Cork you would like to try something a little harder in the cork toy line, make a trim little sailboat. Take three large corks and shape them as shown in the illustration, joining them together to | by pleces of wire passing through the middle. For the keel cut a narrow strip of lead (not more than % inch wide). Point both ends, bend them up at right angles, make slits in the cork, , jand push in the pointed ends of the . | lead, To make it more secure, drive pins through the lead and the corks. by using a knife. Then take a big flat cork for the body, whittling it down to the right shape. Bore a hole in the body and in the head and fasten them together with a toothpick. For the arms and legs you might stick in two meat skewers or little pointed sticks. The Dell's Clothes Dressing the doll is easy, because Next try making some cork animals. A dog can be made by taking a barrel. shaped cork for the bedy. The head is cut out of cardboard and painted. Then a slit is made in the cork body.

One such, the Prophet Amos, 1s introduced to the world anew today by the International Sunday School Lesson.

Evidently, Amos was only an itin- erant day laborer part of the Mme, and a shepherd at other seasons.

Its mes- senger may be--is likely 40 be --. some person unexpected and un- known. The revival will not come by an elaborately organized and finane- ed "campaign" or "movement," but by the imparted message of some sefvant or servants of God, aflame with a passion to reveal Him as the solution of our world's sore needs. Who Cares About Unemployment? I know a preacher, a good man, though not very discerning, who ex- ults in his pulpits that the favor of the Lord is manifestly upon his con- gregation because thefe are so few deaths and so little poverty; and that. the distresses of life pass them by! He has never read understands ingly the passage about the suffer- ing Servant Who "hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows"; and. Who is "touched with a feeling of our infirmities." - It {is pharisaism paganism to thank God that we hav escaped our share ' of the commo sorrows and the common load, unless Wwe are at the same time in fellowship and service with the needy. "Unemployment hasn't touhed us!" says one man, smugly. Probably there are multitudes who have no personal knowledge of or interest in the present prevalent depression and suffering; but they are the kind of people against whom Amos preach- ed. A failure in brotherliness and mercy and social justice was to him a reason for divine condemnation. He pictures the self-indulgent rich of hls period Tn a way that recalls our luxury-loving, gl! tonous, jazz- dancing debauchery of recent days: "They who lie on ivory couches, » And sprawl upon their divans, And eat lambs from the flock, And calves from out the stall; They drawl to the sound of the lyre, Like David, they devise for them- selves instruments of song, They drink bowlfuls of wine, And anoint themselves with the finest of oil, \ But they do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph." That is damnation for you, The man who does not care for his world, for God's world, and who never feels & pang or spends a penny for the hungry in his own land or in Ruesia and China, #s the sort upon whose head faithful Amos, and every other true prophet of God, pours the vials of divine justice, . ---- Who Is the Patriot ? William Penn coined a phrase that should be immortal--'a public mind." It is the finest requisite of a Patriot'and a prophet. Amos had it. He was only a workingman, going to and fro in search of a job, and many a season without work, but he was before all else a lover of the Diving will. He may have been call- ed a "radical in his time: but he, like every other true prophet, was saved from being a mere agitator by - adjuster of all wrongs, If any man will keep true to his country's flag and to his mother's Bible, he may 80 as far as he pleases in radicalism, and he will never be anything elie than a friends of human society, Saft lives make hard times. But hard times meke soft hearts--and no price is too great to pay for en increase of sympathy and good will and interdependence among people, War profits and easy business had made Israel fat--at least, among the upper classes. The profiteers gave ei to foreshadow the familiar lines of Kipling: "The tumult and the shouting dies, The captains and the kings depart Still stands thine ancient sacrifice A humble and a contrite heart, Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget! Lest we forget!" (Copyrighted, 1922, by the Ellis Service.) MUSIC IN THE HOME. | A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL'S, Summary of the Characteristics of the Violin, In one of our Canadian High Schools the students were recently requested to prepare a short sum- mary of the characteristics of the musical effects of the main instru- ments of the orchestra. To cach stu- dent was assigned a partifular. in- strument, A girl, who had to deal with the violin, handed in this: "The violin possesses no equal in Joint of expressiveness; it weeps,. ft loves, it allures; it-chatters, sighs, moans, screeches, lulls you to sleep, or filla and if it is maltreated by the per- former, it maddens you beyond be- lief. Its higher notes .can melt into ethereal silence, while ts lawer notes have all the richness of a woman's voice low-pitched. Most of its ef- fects are produced by the bow, and there are many ways of manipulat- ing this graceful adjunct, or {The effect known as pizzicato, in which the strings are plucked with the finger instead of being bowed, is well known. Sometimes the strings are plucked with the available fin- gers of the left hand, and a, kind of mixture of this left-hand pissicato, combined with spring-bowing, invar- iably 'brings down the house," A lit- tle device known as a mute fs some- times attached to the bridge to dead- en the vibrations, and a peculiarly soft, sweet tome results, 'Double- stopping" --playing on two strings at once--is another familiar effect. Sus- tained melodies may be played in double-stops, and short arpeggioed chords of three or four notes may he produced by a rapid stroke of the bow over the strings. By placing the finger very lightly on the divisional points of a vibrating string 'har- monies' are produced--tones of a mysterious filutelike quality, "Whatever may be done with the violin solo may. be dene by a mass of violins in the orchestra. In the orchestra the violins are divided into 'firsts' and 'seconds,' the firsts sitting on the conductor's deft, and the seconds on his right, In modern music they are frequently sub-divid- ed into four, or even more parts, "The violins, as Hector Berlioz has said, are 'the true female. voice-] of the orchestra.
