Historical Fiction.

In lecturing DIR. Gardiner was very
fond of retailing the hackneye3 old
historical anecdotes that garnish the
schoolbooks, and he would commonly
append the comment: "Now, that story
is not true. / have reason to know.
indeed, that it is pure fiction. but for
our purpose it is better than the truth
because the truth cannot be rounded
off and polished so nicely to suit ones
conception of character or of circum-
stance" For similar reasons he was
instant in praise Of historical novels.
"a genius like Scott or George Eliot.
especially in 'Romoa,' he would say.
has many advantages over the plod-
ding historian and can often arrive,
by the intuition of genius, at truths
which the most laborious research
could never reveal, and, on the whole"
he would add. Historical fiction is
much more trustworthy and incompa-
rably more respectable than fictitious
history. "-London News.

Babies and Monkeys.

A frequent action with babies is tt
turn the soles Of the feet sideways, 0p
posite to one another, while the legs
remain straight. Just this attitude
would be assumed by monkey when
climbing tree or walking on a branch
In order to grasp the stem with it's hind
legs.
The inherited effects Of thus graspine
tree trunks or limbs with the hind
hands are often very marked in young
babies. The bow legs. which are a
feature Of infancy and a matter OF
some anxiety to mothers, are no more
than the relics of the tree climbing
stage, and the mother need not be
frightened about this character; any
normally healthy baby will grow OUT
of it soon enough.
Then, if young baby be held so that
its feet touch the ground, one may see
that the feet are not put fat to the sur
face. Instead. the outer portions Of the
feet rest on the ground, while the soles
of the feet are more or less opposed to
one another; they have the hough
grasping attitude. - I'earSonS Maya

The Meyicaus in California had an
ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankcrs
gion. 4 piece OF meat was nailed 10
the stout horizontal limb Of an cal;
tree From a limb five or six feet above
rope was suspended, to the end of
which " stone was made fast 50
that j. about six inches above and
a ttihe srer the trunk than the meat
Oh the lower limb.
When n bear smelled the meat from
afar. he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait. In doing
So he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head,
This would arouse the anger Of the
bear. and he would give the stone
sweep of his paw which would send
1t swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return
until from ferOclOus anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep, then bang. and bruin would be
tumbled out of the tree to the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall, he
would be at the mercy Of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him.

1t would be a good thing if in our
public school courses in heroism to
teach the boys and girls that. after all,
while heroism Is a fine thing and
great thing. it is a most uncomforta BILE

the best and most lasting work that is
accomplished in life comes from a
steady application Of all ones best en-

honest and patient effort the emergen-
cies and veXations Of daily life and
holding true to the middle course,

Ing notoriety. A fixed purpose to do

the end bring laurels of more perma-

1t is difficult to account for the enor-

when migrating. The northern blue
throat goes at the rate of $40 miles an
hour, flying 1880 miles from Egypt to
Helgoland in spring night Of barely
nine hours. Virginian plover fly from
Labrador to north Brazil. $500 miles,

636 miles an hour and probably more.
How can this speed be attained? The
