A reader tells us that a small tree ®wallow had come back to her home in the bird house where she pested last year and was busy preparing for set- ting up houge-keeping again when she was set upon by two English sparrows, and but for the interven- tion of the owner of the bird house, would have been killed. As it was, the poor little bird was stunned and lay quite still in the hand of her res- cuer. When the man of the house came back he sald he would make the door of the house smaller so that the sparrows, larger birds than the tree swallows could not enter to dis- turb the temnants. A small girl has a house that holds ten families of swallows and wrens. The latter be- ing very small, can enter a tiny hole not more than:one and a half inches. That the custom house garden is always providing a treat for the pas- ser-by. Just now, in spite of the cold winds, the white and purple cups of the crocus blossoms are open- ing and next the tulips will make gay patches of color on the well-kept lawn. That the old joke about the poor man who cannot find a place 'to sit down when his wife is housecleaning is again taking its spring airing. But now-a-days, unless the house is in the hands of the decorators, most housewives clean a room at a time so that there is always a place in which to eat and sleep in comfort. Moving day that come to us next Saturday, however, 18 a much more trying pro- blem. "Three moves are as bad as a fire," is an old saying and a true one. But in spite of that a great many houses will change hands on May 1st, so we won't dilate bn the troubles of mov- ing for the benefit of those who are flitting. They will find out the dif- ficulties soon enough. That the dear little hepatica blos- soms are to be found already in shel- tered places in the woods, and a few bunches were for sale on the King- ston market on Saturday. The stems are short as yet. It needs a warm rain to make the slender furry stems grow, but the delicate coloring and the faint elusive perfume are there and with the first wild blossoms comes the assurance that the yearly miracle of renewed life is being once more performed without the aid of man.

He compared life to a building, for which a plan must be formulated, in order to secure best results. There must be (1) Work, (2) Refreshment from work, (3) Rest. He said, in eff éTX, that there must be a willing- our work, and a thoroughness in our particular line--it may seem an im- portant kind, but it is a part of the world's work, just as much as some gigantic feat of engineering skill. SAll work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy," and some diversion, Some re-creation, (as the speaker termed it), gardening, art, or music, perhaps reading, walking, or engag- ing in some form of sport, but all need to get away from the mono- tonous grind of incessant toil. Then, too, there must be rest, This comes naturally to us all, unless we live the abnormal life, and turn day into night, and night into day. We are living in a jazz age, and the tend- ency is for many to regard home-as a place to eat, and sleep, but to find life outside the home. We need to get back, and magnify the influen®: of the home. The home, in the true sense, is the great influence which will counteract the unwholesome in- fluences of the present day. Real rest is essential, it will promote health, strength and happiness, To accurately balance our lives, we must observe all these essentials, work, refreshment from work, and rest, but never overdo any one of them, 'Let us remember through each and all there should run the spiritual call, concurrently, that every moment of our life may re- flect the Creator's face, Let us live for the glory of God, and the good of m#n. In addition to this helpful address, there was an interesting summary of "Current Events," by Mrs. Lillie, and a piano solo by Miss Rhea Kava- nagh, the roll-call being answered by "My favorite Canadian Author." Several necessary items of business were discussed, one being the forth- coming entertainment to be put on by Group IV .in the town hall, on the evening #f May 5th, when 'a "Fiddlers' Contest," will be one of the features. | WOMEN'S MEETINGS | Battersea, The April meeting of the Women's Missionary Sociéty was held at the home of Mrs. N.
