But if a mother desires that her child shall sleep well, she should never tell him, or allow him to be told, stories ‘hat frighten him. Such stories are also poor brainâ€"developers.

THEIR GREATEST LABOR SAVERS. When a certain farm woman figurâ€" ed that she was traveling 114 miles a year, bringing water from her back porch into the kitchen, it did not take her long to persuade the menâ€"folks to pipe the water into the house. Facts are stubborn and sometimes startling, Electric lights, electric iron, andi electric washer of course came in for their due share of praise; but many of the things mentioned were within the limits of even the slenderest pocketbook, and some of these things require no outlay of money whatever, only a little thought and ingenuity. "A high stoo!l in the kitchen," said une woman. "Hooks to hang utensils where they are needed," said another. "A chamois skir for washing winâ€" dows and mirrors," volunteered a third Other things found helpful were drop shelves to supply extra room, wire dish cloth, dustless dust mop, oil cloth on shelves, traveling table, and oil stove. Just read this over again, and see if there isn‘t at least one of these labor savers that you need and can have without much expenditure of time or mone,.

Patching new gacments sounds} drastic, but is much easier and more‘ inspiring than working on old ones that are faded and out cf shape. Patches, like the nose on the face, have a habit of coming in the same places. So it is a simple matter to put them on after a new garment has been shrunk, or, if made at home, after it has been finished. In the latâ€" ter case some of the material can be used, but if clothes are readyâ€"made some similar material will do just as well. Overcast the lower edge and tack to the shirt in several places so as to hold it in place. Knees and seats of new trousers will be much slower to come through if reâ€"enforced in this way while new. Underwear and paâ€" jamas will need almost no attention in later life when they are patched before showing too much wear. You will be surprised to experience a wonâ€" derful feeling of freedom when you outdistance the family patching.

PATCHING NEW GARMENTS. Its domes and its minarets, turrets and towers Are silver and mother of pearl, And white satin banners with fringes of silk From its spires in the azure unfurl. The steep terrace stairs and the ave nues broad, The gates and the palaces proud Are of pure alabaster and ivory carved In the glorious City of Cloud. Only liltes unclose in its gardens and groves, Ships snowy sailed float to its plers, No sound ever shatters the quiet suâ€" pheme, No calendar reckons the years; But at sunrise and sunset its shimmerâ€" ing roofs With splendor untold are endowed, Then aâ€"glitter with amethysts, rubles and gold Is the beautiful City of Cloud. I meet in the streets all the hopes and the dreams i That melted alas! into air, And young Love who died of too arâ€" dent a kiss, And Truth who was slain with a bhair, And nome are unhappy or sick or in pain, There are neither aâ€"crutch or a shroud Or a whip or a weapon or hunger or tears In the marvelous City of Cloud. To eyes that are blind to the beauty of star And blossom and billow, behold!

But that is not the teaching of science, and it is not the teaching of life. We had forgotten the greater virtues, and we were becoming emasculated humbugs whose gods were our own weaknesses. Then came war, and the air was clearâ€" ed. Germany, in spite of her blunders and her grossness, stood forth as the scourge of cant.

"You say he spotted you, and your subsequent doings of course would not disillusion k.im. It‘s an infernal nuisance, but there‘s only one way out of it. 1 must put him in charge of my own people. They will keep him safe and sound till he‘s wanted. Only he mustn‘t see me." And he went out in a hurry. I fetched Rasta from his prison. He had come to his senses by this time, and lay regarding me with stony, malevolent eves. "I‘m very sorry. sir," I said, "for what has happened. But you left me no alternative.

Revolutionizing these theories, Pell now comes forward with the claim that the situation is really the reverse of all this. Emigration may be desir able, but, like birth control, it is unâ€" necessary, since the population alâ€" ready is undergoing a natural check, he declares. The danger is not overâ€" population at all, but rather underâ€" population. This seems strange in view of the fact that in 1921, the latâ€" ies& year for which full figures are available in England, there was a eurâ€" plus of births over deaths amounting to 390,335. Pell argues, however, | that this excess is temporary only and l largely illusory. He points out that it is her much heavier death rate that leaves France with such a small excess of hbirths over deaths, but argues that this is due because there is a much larger proportion of old people in France now than elsewhere, and England is passâ€" ing swiftly through the stages that France previously had passed through rather slowly. In support of his view he points out that when the present small propor tion of children in this country grow up there will be an exceptionally «mall proportion of people of childâ€"bearing age. As a result of this the popula tion in England will approximate in constitution that of France, with simâ€" lar consequences. her The young brid started on their â€" veritable ecitacy."
