surprise that, in many families, the girls do
not give proof of the same intensity OF feel

In the home the bulk of the work falls upon
mother; the boys see this, and are more ready
to relieve her of some of it. This may be due
to the fact (if the Outstanding idea is really
a fact) that boys naturally lean to the
mother and girls to the father.
We have seen several cases in which the
girls would be ready to do anything for their
father, but seemed to overlook the fact that
their mother would be glad if they would do
this or that. They do not offer to relieve her,
and she goes ON indulgently performing ali

The Ice of Greenland.

The largest mass Of ice in the world
Is probably the one which fills up near
II the whole of the interior Of Green
land, where it has accumulated since
before the dawn Of history. 1t IS be-
lieyed to now form block about 6OO,-
900 square miles in area and ayerag-
ing mile and a half in thickness. Ac-
cording to these statistics, the lump OF
ice is larger in volume than the whole
body Of water In the Mediterranean.
and there is enough Of it to cover the
whole Of the United Kingdom Of Great
Britain and Ireland with layer about
seven miles thick. If it were cut into
two convenient slabs and built up
equally upon the entire surface Of
gallant little Wales" 1t would form
q pile more than 120 miles high. There
is ice enough in Greenland to bury the

It must be admitted that some Of
the best work that has lived has been
done by indolent men. This is espe-
cially true as regards literature. The
finest description Of a sunrise was
written by the poet Thomson in bed.
Coleridge was one Of the most indolent
Of men, yet bis work is, Of its kind,
unapproached. One Of the most im-
portant improvements in the steam en-
rine was due to the Incidence Of James
Watt. Many other examples Night be
quoted; but, as a general rule, it is
fairly correct to say that work which
is the outcome Of meditation or pro-
longed observation is best performed
by people whose natural indclence
makes them careless Of the strife and
hustle In which an active temperament
would tend to immerse them.-Pear-

"Hailoo" and ''hurrah,' which are

The author Of ':The Queens English
tells us that the people Of Carnwood

to hail any one at distance call out
not "halloo," but 'nalloup." This, he
takes it. is a survival Of the times
when one cried to another "A loup! a
