This lotion should be bottled and used night and morning. “Clean hands and a pure heart” are the instructions the Biblé gives us, and ‘bothrare possible to every woman. A mixture of glycerin and rose wa- ter, equal parts, should be kept near the wash bowl, so that a few drops can be applied and rubbed into the[ hands directly after they are washed each time. This will help to keep them white and soft. For pronounced roughness of the skin a few drops of carbolic acid added to the glycerin and roseâ€"water mixture is highly reâ€" commended, and if the odor of this drug is objectionable the addition of a little perf .me will remove it. A celebrated physician recommends lettuce cream for swollen, red, or chapped hands. His formula is: Milk of lettuce, 200 grams; pure glycerin, 50 grams; tincture of benzoin, 15 grams; salicylate of soda, 4 grams.

Hardy Island is the city of refuge to all the deer that know about it. Three years ago it was good hunting grounds. To-day it is taboo to men with guns, and hell pops, as the say- ing goes, if men with both guns and dogs appear. It is unlawful to hunt deer with dogs in British Columbia, but it is still done in certain districts, Hn spite of l . Two years ago, or perhaps slight y more than that, Mr. C. J. Leylend of England purchased Hardy Island, a gem of land situated just oif Nelson Island atthe mouth of Jervis Inlet. He bought it to ex- periment with British trees in the 1B.C; climate. There were 2,600 acres of rich lands and forests, and there was a good orchard. He placed a watchman, Tom Brazil, on the proper- ty, and did no more toward develop- ment, preferring to await the end of the war. Brazil, a lover of animals, caught two of the wild deer that fre- quently swam to the island from the other nearby lands. He tamed them, They in turn brought other wild ones. Many of them had been run to water by dogs and took refuge on Hardy Is- land. There, seeing how intimate the original tame pair were with the man who controlled the orchards where the luscious apples grew, the wild newcomers gradually grew intimate too. I To-day a herd of thirty deer, most of them born in wildness, re- spond to the voice of Tom Brazil when he calls. Some of them will step for- ‘ ward from the herd when called by‘ name. They have no fear at all of man, when on Hardy Island. Some-‘ times they swim to other parts of the coast, and range about a hit, but they come back, often ragged from some fierce run and swing I Toxn Brazil’s herd is becoming a by- word on the coast, but no dog and no F man dare brave what might happen should he try to hunt on the island of refuge.

Then the boom of the hound’s voice rolled again across the waters, from Nelson Island. The deer moved nefvously, looked all round againâ€"and calmly bent his head to bite a mouthful of grass.

V/ lurts li :roundl The old capital was Annapolis Royal. In 1749, a new capital, Hali- fzix, named in honor of the Earl of Halifax, was founded by Colonel Ed- ward Cornwallls, uncle of the general who surrendered at Yorktown, on the share of Chebucto Bay, “Chief of Havens," to counter-poise the French City of Louisburg in Cape Breton. The harbor is one of the best in the world, and the fortifications the most important in Canada. The port was of immense service during the war. Its sea-borne trade is rapidly increasing. Its population is about 63,000. province is made up of beauty spots, the most famous being the Annapolis Valley, traversed by the Dominion At- lantic Railway, and Cape Breton, the scenery in the latter place being like the Highlands of Scotland.

The very foundation stone of health is Sleep and for that reason the Habit of Sleep should be built first of all. For [the first three months of life, the healthy baby sleeps (if allowed to) eighten to twenty hours out of the twenty-four. A wonderful thing happens. That baby doubles its weight in three months, something that never happens again in all its long- life. A tenâ€"pound baby can gain a pound in one week during his sleep period, a gain of ten per cent in body weight. Think what a miracle is hap- pening before your very eyes, just as the result of sleep and a little food and care. When Baby is able to toddle around, another danger period comes. The busy mother, driven with the urge (I: getting housework done, wants to get first one thing and then another out of the way before she takes care of the littlesone’s bedtime needs. Then when she gets around to put Baby to bed, there is a crying spell be» cause the child is too tired to fail asleep at once or else she has fallen aslep in a pathetic little heap in a corner and has to be waked up for necessary undressing and bathing. Choose a. bedetime hour for each one of the children and then stick to it. Let it be too early rather than too late. A baby tires very easily and needs many short rest periods during the day and a twelve-hoax sleep at night. Even though your one-year-old baby will not fall asleep, every period of soâ€"called crossness is m saymg, “R01 does nbt pay.’ W'hen Baby 1 another d‘ange) she lior Was your :baby cross and restless after ‘it was born?
