And when he had got the seat made it looked so white and new that it had to be painted darker. As for that, there were things enough that had to be done! The whole place wanted painting, to begin with. And he had been thinkâ€" ing for years past of building a proper barn with a bridge, to house in thea crop. He had thought, too, of getting that saw set up and finâ€" tshed; af fencing in al his cultivated ground; of building a boat on the lake up in the hills. Many things he had thought of doing. . .. Paint he would, in any case; that was decided and emphatic. The buildings stood there grey and bar® â€"stood there like houses in their shirtâ€"sleeves. There was time yet before the busy season; the spring was hardly begun yet; the young things were out, but there was frost in the ground still. Isak goes down to the village, takâ€" Ing with him a fow score of eggs for sale, and brings back paint. There was enough for one building, for the barn, and it was painted red. He fetches up more paint, yellow ochre this time, for the house itself. . .. When Isak had given his walls a first coat, he went down to the vilâ€" lage again and brought up all the paint he could carry. Three coats he put on in all, and white on the windowâ€"frames â€" and â€" corners. _ To come back now and look at his home there on the hillside, it was like lookâ€" Ing at a fairy palace.

And the forest. stretched away, big and kindâ€" Iy, right up to the blue heights. ... The sun is big and strong now, the snow is gone, green showing everywhere; the cattle are out to wraze. lsak ploughs one day, and a few days later he is sowing corn, planting potatoes. Ho, the youngâ€" sters, too, planting potatoes like angels; blessed little hands they have, and what can their father do but watch? Then Isak washes out the cart down by the river, and puts the seat in. Talks to the lads about a little ourney: he must make a little jourâ€" ney down to the village.

And it was all his doing that father let them both sit up and ride with him a long way down the road. From "Growth of the Sofl," by Knut Hamsum, translated from the Norwegian by W. Worster, M.A. "What shall we do with Mary Jane?" is a question which thousands of fathâ€" »ra and mothers are asking every year. Mary Jane may belong to a clever tamilyâ€"but she isn‘t clever herself. At least, her parents and sisters don‘t think she is. She enjoys "pottering mwbout" in the kitchen; she likes doing Well, why not give her the career whe is so obviously fitted for? That doe«n‘t necessarily mean making Mary Jane a domest!c servant, though "serâ€" vice" is usually quite comfortable nowâ€" wdays, and a capable girl can qualify herself for quite a good position in it. Where her parents can afford it, howâ€" ever, it is better to give Mary Jane a course in domestilc sctence. _ Apart from the teaching of this subject in the schools, which is open to women with a University traintng in it, there wre good positions to be had in the mtioring departments of hospitals, col lege=s, and similar institutions. w e e ie in future to the woman who has a doâ€" me«tic science training.

There is something cosmically inâ€" evitable about the exuberance of the iseed catalogues. It was too much for Christopher and me.

Certain adverse critics, such as Proâ€" fessor Mellanby and others, object to catmeal because it is "deficient in vitaâ€" mines." The term vitamines appears to have become a peg upon which cerâ€" tain learned folk are hanging a proâ€" miscuous lot of tatters. We understand the importance of vitamines, but we know that half a glass of milk, a teaspoonful of raw cabbage, two teaspoonfuls of cooked cabbage, a small portion of any other vegetable, or some fruit, raw or cooked, will furnish all the vitamines required for a day‘s meals. s One of the occasional results is the "porridge rash"; this may be cured or prevented by taking less porridge and eating a little fruit raw or in the form of jam. & Only Natural.
