Some years ago l was talking with
one of our leading boot manufac-
turers, and himself a very acute man.
He told me that long experience had
shown him that the sale Of boots is
sure barometer of the prosperity Of
the country, so far as the working
class were concerned. If things are
going we'll people buy new boots when
their old ones have worn out; if the
reverse, they do not, but make shift
without new purchases. And he in
stanced Ireland, where he had large
trade output, as an instance of this.
When, therefore, | hear that the boot
business is not flourshing, l know
what that means. Although it can
no. be said to be absolutely bad, yet
there is already shrinkage in sales
at home, owing to the effect of the
war on the resources of the wage
earning class. Truth.

rogues were having such a good time.
when Aunt Lucy happened to spy
them. She laughed aloud and of
course that frightened the birds and
grandpa awoke. But wait-just hear
the rest. Aunt Lucy was so pleased
at what the cute little orioles had
done, that she determined they shoul1
have all the pretty threads of hair
they wanted. So that very afternoon,
she took some of Mary's golden locks,
few more of grandpa's and some of
her own glossy black hair
and spread them on bright
cloth on the porch. Then
she warned the family to keep very
quiet and see what happened. In less
than an hour the orioles had taken
every hair and carried it to their tree.
Before many days the pretty nest was
done and the birds were enjoying their
new home.
In the fall, after the orioles had left
their elm tree home, Aunt Lucy had
some one climb the tree and gel the
nest, and there so curiously woven into
the lining, were the soft white, golden
and black hairs.
Aunt Lucy keeps the nest in her par
lor and counts it as one of her great
est treasures.-Primary Education.

An Amusing JOurney.

This is a game that may be played
without any preparation whatever, as
no materials are required, not even
pencil OR paper. 1t is, therefore, well
worth knowing, for it may be suggest
ed to a party of friends on the spur of
the moment, when some such amuse-
ment is desired.
The players choose a leader, and
then seat themselves in a circle, with
the leader in the center. He of
course, stands. AS the game may be
better understood from an Illustration
we will suppose the leader to begin it
by saying:
Young people, you are all supposed
to be commercial Travellers about to
start on journey to any part of the
world that you may prefer, on bust
ness. I will ask each of yod if you
please, to tell me where you are going,
and what you intend to do when you
get there?'
1t is required that eevry answer to
his questions should be alliterative;
that is to say, that all the words of
the answer should begin with the let
ter A. This is the way it runs

Two Orioles.

Do you want to know just the cum
ningest thing that ever two little birds
did? Let me tell you-because it's
true.
The birds were beautiful orioles and
you know the curious, pretty nests the
orioles make, swinging like SOFT
gray, silken bag from the high branch
of some elm tree.
Just three springs ago, the orioles
had come to this grand, old elm tree
that shaded the porch of quiet farm
house.
They had picked out the very
branch they wanted; and now they
must hunt for material to build their
pretty home.
So they few about, chirping and
calling and busily gathering stray
threads and moss-when-oh, joy!
What was that beautiful, long, white,
silky stuff on the porch just under
their elm tree home? They flew down
very cautiously. They fitted this way
and that. Dare they take some of
1t for their airy home? One more
peep-yes-grandpa was sound asleep.
There was no double about it. But how
should orioles know that the long,
white whiskers belonged to him?
They ventured nearer. They pulled
one hair They grew bolder and
pulled another. Two long, beautiful
silky threads for their nest! They
