The Manned Machinists,

1t would appear that one of the most
dangerous CT peaceful occupations is
the seemingly inocuous one Of attend
ant of a jCiner's planning machine. At
hearing in a prosecution under the
factory act at Halifax recently, fac
tory inspector told the court that when
he took office he made It a point to
try to discover an attendant of such a
machine who had all his fingers. 1t
was five years before he came across
such man.
All the attendants of joiners' planning
machines whom he had seen in the
meantime had one OF more fingers
missing. which they had lost in the
performance of their work, And that,
notwithstanding the. fact that the men
engaged in such work are aware Of
the danger and are careful.-New York

Prince Edwards Frog.

Prince Edward Of York, the little
grandson of Edward VII, was recent.
II attacked with influenza and, being
a sturdy lad, he complained bitterly
because he was obliged to remain in
bed. His nurse gave him all the good
counsel suitable on such an occasion,
but he paid little heed to her until
she happened to say that there was a
little girl living near the place who
was also suffering from influenza. but
who bore the aff1iction like an angel.
I'D like to know that GIRL" said
the Prince, enthusiastically. land at

give presents should give those things
which they prize the most. Now the
things which 1 prize the most are my

Over this problem he pondered for
some minutes and then he said: 81

like my frog good deal better, and
therefore I'll send my frog to this

The OId-Fashioned Swing.


A sensible mother said one day, In
discussing the methods she had fol-
lowed in bringing up her children, that
the old-fashioned swing would give a
growing boy all the gymnastic exercise
he needed. She might have added that
1t was equally good for small, growing
girls.
This device, one Of the simplest and
least expensive known to man, has al
most gone out of fashion for children.
Anybody who was brought up in a
country village, where the swing was
as much part of the furniture of the
yard as was the front doorstep. knows
what a delight it was to children of all
ages and sizes. To one who possesses
these memories the modern apology for
swing, with its Battle-Ground seat and
ugly framework. is positively painful.
Where Is the chance for exercise in
that machine? What child old enough
to have mind of its own wants to get
into a cradle and be swung back and
forth by nurse?
The oldfashioned swing was rope
hung in a long loop, with notched
board placed in the loop, and the child
could sit or stand. according to age
and ability. Expert youngsters could
"swing standing up" until the rope was
nearly horizontal. the weight of the
body holding it taut SO that the danger
of accidents was practically non-eXist.

quiring momentum every muscle is
brought into play, and the hands and
