She wanted a nurse’s cap and apron and would have liked no- thing better than to sit beside Jock’s bed all the time but Mo‘her couldn’t allow it. “They were doing such funny things, Mummy,” she laughed, “Wal- king on the bad pears and taking lit- tle sips of juice. Then they would stand still and wave their wings slow- ly up and down and then go to sleep and fall ofl’ on the grass That was ’yvhy I caught them so easily, they were so silly and sleepy and couldn’t walk straight.” “You must stay out in the sunshine part of every day, dearie," she said, “or you'll get pale and sick and 1 will have two little patients to look after instead of one. But cvim when you are outside you can be a meat help, there are so many things you can find to amuse Jock. See if you can find some butterflies for him to-day. They are easy to catch in the Autumn their lives are so nearly over anyway.” So Jeannie went on a butterfly hunt. It was lonely without Jock but she soon found something! to tell him about when she went back. Mother had told her to look under the old pear tree and there, where the over- ripe pears lay open to the sun she found her butterflies. She watched them for a long time and then caught three which she put carefully in her little box and carried back to the house. Jock laughed at Jeannie’s stoxy about the intoxicated butterflies and Mother didn’t spoil their I'uh. But she knew that some day they would discover that even human beings can be just as silly and stupid as the but- terflies and from the same cause. while I get Jock’s te: morrow perhaps Jea‘ some more butterflies “Run and get the butterfly book that daddy sent, Jeannie,” she said “and’we will read about these pretty things and look at their pictures.” “Yes, but even if it is ordinary it is a very interesting kind. It is the only butterfly that goes south [or the winter as the birds do. It is a pretty sight to see them gathering in crowds for their trip across the lake. I have seen them hanging in thousands from the branches of a tree, looking like a lot of brown, fluttering leaves. When they come back in the spring they lay their eggs on milkweed plants and the little green caterpillars eat milkweed leaves until the time comes Jeannie brought the big illustrated book and they spread it open on the bed‘so Jock could see it nicely from his supporting pillows. “Here it is,” said mother, “it is one of tlie Frifil'lary Butterflies, what a lot of different kinds there are. Some are silver spotted, some are silver- bordered, there are big ones an'ji‘mid- dle sized ones and tiny wee ones.” spotted 6 leaf from “Let’s find the picture of this pretty brown one with all the silver spots under its wings}? he said eagerly. “Look at this brown oné with spots on top and red underneath its wings. What’s it’s name Mummy?” “That is a Painted Lady,” said Mummy, “it lays its tiny eggs on net- tles that hatch into little, prickly black caterpillars which \eat nettle leaves until they are big enough to go into _chrysa1is form. Then these lovely butterflies come out and the life cycle begins all over again. We must look for some of them on the nettles next summer. You will laugh when you see the tight little parcels the caterpillars make of themselves and wonder how those pretty vrings can be folded into such a small space.” “This big‘bro'wn one with the black lines is just an ordinary Kim; Billy isn’t it Mother.” JC The old lady from t} 112: her niece in the New Lessons them form pretty salids which tender threa JOAN SELKIRK t the green, 20 1a! if 1, gold- frofn a stur tch Canned Vegetable Stow Two tomatoes pelled and cut for canning, add sliced onions, string beans and a little green pepper.

The excitement began away back in the spring when the seeds and the eggs were distributed. The plots had to be dug and fertilized and measured, oh, so exâ€" actly! the eggs had to be kept in a cool place and turned carefully every day until a quiet broody hen was discovered which was trustworthy enough to be given the care of the precious eggs. Then there was the care of the broody and the wild excitement the day the eggs hatchedâ€"even if the grand total didn’t amount to any more than one or two. The careful feeding of the chicks came next and the leg- banding when they were quite small so that they wouldn’t get mixed with the common herd-hand the feeding in some haps some new schoolmates. And above all there is the School Fair. V- This is a busy time of the year in the rural school. There is the re-acljustment after the long holidays, there is the new teacher the new arrangement of classes and per- cases meant a little extra early rising in the morning and hurrying home from school in the evening. The care of the gardens meant a good deal of work, too, and what a proud day it was when the first young carrots or beets were brought in as a donation to the house! 1 Seasonable Recipes How The nature study collections have proved very interest- ing. All summer long the young entomologists have prowl- ed around the fields and woods with butterfly nets and the young botanists have sought weeds and leaves and seeds for their collections. new the great day draws near. The boys are finishing their manual training articles and the girls are busily sewing at their aprons and tea towels so as to leave the last day free for their baking.- But now comes the sad part of the story about our Rural School Fairs, the thing which may cause the death of them altogether. Cheating! Dishonesty, on the part of the parents as much as on the part of the pupils. And in some parts of Ontario this is btcoming so serious that one district representatvie said that the Government might have to discontinue the Fairs. AA“ - v vv u-~vv-.-___..- It is, perhaps, easierpfo’r Mother to dress a doll for Mary to take to the Fair than it is to see that Mary does it herself, But when Mother signs her name to a certifi- cate stating that Mary dressed the doll herself What effect is that going to have on Mary’s future? Isn’t that giving her a pretty goood start onthe path of dishonesty and cheatingâ€"and is any prize worth that price? The same thing happens about the cooking and the manual training. If Mother makes the cake which Jennie exhibits as her own work and Dad makes the milking stool and bird house for Johnny what is it doing for them? Will it teach them to honor their father and their mother if they see them sign their names to statements which are untrue? ‘1 , ,1,:1_1 __.1-- u..-1 534511 us;y.; .Aw...v~ Vt, And how such dishonesty spreads! the child who real- ly prepared his exhibit for himself will be so discouraged when he finds that he is competing with the work of grown people that nz‘"t year he will want Mother and Dad to help him. And so the School Fair becomes a farce as far as the exhibits which are prepared at home are concerned. (I, 3,.“ unnnlunuu n JAAVLA w; v r- “17â€"- .W ,V , The Government which is responsible for these fairs isn’t in the business just for fun. The idea hehind the whole thing is to interest the children in country life and surroundingsâ€"to start the boys at a little farm carpentry, the girls at a little domestic science and arouse the interest of all in the processes of Nature. Try to make the children realize this instead of setting their eyes on the prize of fifty cents. Help them towards the right goal by encourag- ing them to play fair at the fair and to win honestly or not at allâ€" and if they don’t win to be good losers.
