Soul of Goldsmith. If the tone is the great thing; this comes, doubtless, to saying that the flourished through having so much of him. It is he who is the success of his story; he is always kept true, is what we call to-day "sustained," without be- coming pompous or hollow. The es- pecial beauty of this is surely that it contains something of the very soul of Goldsmith. It is the most natural imagination of the unspotted that any | 8 is the spoiled chill of our litera in prose, have achieved the last amia- bility. Thus it is that the book con- fon and f: i production, perhaps, offers, and the ex- hibition of the man himself--by which I mean of the author--combines with hig instinctive taste to make the clas- sicism for which we praise him. These two things, the frankness of his sweet- ness and the beautiful ease of his ch, melt together--with no other tion--a ease of imperturbable and in- serutable classicism. It is a question of tone. The tone is exquisite, and that's the end of it. It takes us through all the little gaps and slips, through all the artless looseness of the Vicar's disasters and r y through his confused and unconvine- ing captivity and his wonderful acci- dents and recognitions. It makes these things amusing, makes them most human even when--for there is aid. as I have hinted, worth mention- ing--to form his style. I am afraid I cannot go further than this in the way of speculation as to how a classic is grown. In the open air is perhaps the most we can say. Goldsmith's style is the flower of what I have called his amenity, and his amenity the making of that independence of almost every- thing by which The Vicar has triumphed.--Henry James, in an Intro- duction to "The Vicar of Wakefield." How Crabs: Change Shells. The process by which a hardshell crab turns into a softshell crab is one of the most interesting things known to fishermen. - The strange point is that the crab does not cast his hard shell in pieces; but takes the whole thing off at one | time and not at fixed periods, but any "How he ever manages to get his soft mass out of a hard shell without losing Leven wonder how. it all happesfis....... .

Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she would use nothing else: The Tablets give such results that the mother has noth- ing but words of praise for them. Among the thousands of mothers throughout Canada who praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S, who writes: --"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children, and from my experience I would not be without them.

The forget-ménots at the foot of the garden, under the low wall, are just coming into bloom. They are ona of' Spring's lovellest gifts, whose coming we eagerly anticipate. All the miracle of Spring is In those slender green stems and those minute turquoise-col- ored flowers. On one of our walls hangs a copy of Leighton's "Return of Persephone," the lovely maid, support- ed by Mercury, ascending out of the dark underworld, being met by her mother, Ceres, But those few forget- me-nots under the low wall are greater than Leighton's picture. They are not a representation, they are the authen- tic happening itself, Every one of those blooms is a Persephone, beauty born out of the «barren earth. There {8 no scamped work in their minute exquisiteness. What wonder of adaptation, what Ingenuity, what activity, there is--behind one forget- me-not bloom! Wordsworth tells how he gathered We wanted to go down-the river, {first thing, in a little power-boat, and cross St. Mary's Bay to see what was on that stretch of coast beyond us. Villages were ruddled on the other side, we knew by glancing at the map; and someone had sald in Yarmouth that it was a pretty region over there. Yet when we got closer, and express ed our desire to a native down on the bridge, he smiled tolerantly and want- ed to know why we were so anxious to see a town like Sandy Cove. "A dull little place" was the way he put it. "Nothin' doin' at all" It would have been folly to explain to him that that was the very reason we wanted to get there. Despite its saintllke name, St. Mary's Bay can cut up capers, It is a saucy, choppy, naughty little stretch of blue water; but as we puffed across we liked ft better and better. The town behind us looked enchanting In the morning sunlight. " Over the lovely light green hills we could see a church spire, graceful and fmmaculately white; and, below it, great blocks of granite came defiantly down to the very water's edge, with trees overhanging them. White sea- gulls soared above our heads and on our left a curving stretch of sandy beach invited us to bathe. Approach ing nearer, I shall never forget my first vision of that village; snug and quiet, as If it had purposely folded itself away in those hills, aloof from the clamor of the world. The little town of Sandy Cove tucks itself away Between the warm Canadian hills be yond St. Mary's Bay; And there it dreams through lazy hours the whole long summer day. The little 'town of Sandy Cove Is beautiful and white. No railroad thunders at its heart; no windows flame tgo bright; No movies flash their garish signs, "A thrilling show to-night!" « But 'quietly the MHttte"town 'sleeps and: nods and smiles.
