FOR HOME BUILDERS In most foreign countries England is looked upon as the Land of the Free, and, in spite of the Defence of the Realm Act, there is one way, at least, in which the Englishman is freer than the rest of the world. It is only in England that a married man can disâ€" pose of the whole of his property abâ€" solutely as he likes when he dies. HEALTHY CHILDREN ALWAYS SLEEP WELL Even Scottish law is different in this respect. There, if a man has a wife and children, the law says the wife must have oneâ€"third of his possessions and the children another third, so that he can do what he likes ouly with the remaining third. If he has a wife only or children only, the wife or the childâ€" ren are entitied to half, and he is at liberty to dispose of the other half as he thinks fit. * In France a man can only leave all his property to strangers if he has neither children nor "ancestors," such as parents or gran:dparents, still livâ€" Ing. If he bas one child, that child must have at least balf. Two children will take twoâ€"thirds, and if he has three children or more, they must have threeâ€"quarters, leaving only a quarter which he can bequeath to other people.

There are two facts about goldfish | that owners of goldfish ought to know. ; One is that fish have no eyelide and | generally live where there is plenty | of shade protection, therefore when they are put in transparent globes,' which admit light from all dlrectionei at once, they cannot cover their eyes | or find a ehady place in which to hide,| and they euffer. t Small growing plants or bits of floating wood put in the bow! will make a little shade and give comfort to the fish. The other fact is that there is air in the water where fish live in nature and air is a necessity of life for fish. Water in globes is still and free from air and must be aerated by fresh poured water or by water plants. Hornwort is one of the best. It is to be hoped that persons who enjoy seeing fish in globes will conâ€" sider the virtue of kindness, even toâ€" When fish gasp, they are suffering from the want of air or oxygen. wards fish The injury to children who are taught to find pheasure and amuse ment in the sight of live animals conâ€" fined in unnatural conditions is also worth consideration. are 10w studying the English language by a now ocl!wl!e met:_bod at Univerâ€" ;ity College, London.

It bas been said that we are fast drifting toward en age of fowers that will bave no fragrance. â€" No profusion of biossom, noâ€" exquisite coloring or vigor of growth can take the place of a lack of fragrance. How keen the disappoin{iment when we are shown a wonderfal rose of rare coloring and perfect form to find its gorgeous petals yield no perfume. One may tire of brilliant coloring and of sbhowy effects, but the garden that bas tie sweetâ€"smeiling fowers will never lack appreciation. When the rose is mentioned we at once associate it with swectness. We love fowers for their fragrance, even though they are not very beautiful, but when they are fragrant as well as beautiful our enâ€" thusiasm knows no bounds. Plant the old fashioned fragrant ones even though the catalogues tell you wonderful stories about the newer, larger varieties. They may be charmâ€" ing to look upon, but flowers that are not sweet fail to satisfy because in striving to produce a larger flower, with more gorgeous coloring, the rare fragrance has been lost. The smaller flowers have usually the sweetest perâ€" fume. The very nams of mignonette, lilyâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"valley, lilac, rose, pinks and stocks of our mother‘s gardens bring to our memory the recollections of sweet laden breezes, and no quality in the flowers of our youth strikes the chord of remembrance with as true a touch as fragrance. If you have only limited space for a garden this spring, choose flowers that are fragrant. If you are planning a rose garden, buy the varieties that will delight you with & rare perfume. : I see you but a moment, yet My heart goes singing on its way And all my weariness is gone, Just seeing you makes glad my day Just seeing you makes happiness, You do not need to linger long, A second 2e you pass and all The hours thereafter ring with song Such is your presence, so you move Upon my hour, that just your emile Give me content, warm all my heart, Bring joy for quite a little while.
