CARE OF cHILDREN'S EYES.
Point About Which Parents Cannot
Be Too Careful.

Do you know that blindness is grow
ing in the world with alarming celer-
ity? This is only too true, and in
view of the fact that more and more
weak-sighted children are born each
year. the following hints should be
found useful to careful parents:
Don't let any false notions about
appearances keep you from having
the children's eyes examined in early
childhood by a competent oculist. By
the early use of glasses many eyes
can be so strengthened as to make
them entirely serviceable without that
artificial aid later in life.
Watch over the manner in which
your children do their reading, both
day and night. See that they do not
read in too glazing a light, or facing
it.
If thought necessary, furnish them
with large pasteboard shades, such as
engravers use, when they read by
lamp or gaslight; and, above all, go
to their school and see that they are
supplied there with the proper ar
engagements of light.

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Stern Laws of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An Interesting case at law, which
~centered on the observance Of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged clerk on &C.
count of neglect OF duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
TO the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
fege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious mar,
maintained that "if Moses had known
rthat man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in IA
vor OF the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right OF
the clerk without the consent of the
employer"

Large CIoaks and Wraps Are in Order

SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects for Large Acreage to
Be SoWn in Wheat.

ST. Paul, April "a, 1907.-Word has
Canadian Government in st. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
lions. The fine weather of the past
few days has taken much of the frost
out of the ground and during next
@oek there will scarcely be district
Il which the seeder is not being oper-
~oted. The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things in shape.
There will be very large acreage
ssown in spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three

with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, it will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
lions for the present year. 1t is safe
TO say that farmers who get In their
crop before the goth or Oath Of May,
will receive magnificent returns. A
number of those coming in this spring,
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
in a crop of oats and barley and prob
ably some fax. This, together with
Che vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding oper-
atoms are not confined to one district,
but are spread over country 900
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern.
Iment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers. Low rail-
way rates, information and literature
ARE given on application to the agent,

HOW TO CARE FOR A CANARY.
Feathered Songsters Are Delicate and
Need Attention.

Feed canaries mixed seeds, two
parts rape to one of canary seed, alter
mating now and then with some pre-
pared bird food Give a little lettuce
or celery every day or two and bit of
apple now and then. Give the yolk of
hard-boiled egg once a week.
Let no stale food remain in the
cage, which should be cleaned every
day, and have fresh gravel three times
a week.
Keep the bird out of draughts. Don't
hang the cage on a high hook, where
he gets all the hot, vitiated air of the
room. Don't hang the cage in strong
sunlight; the heat is too much for
him.
Give him a bath every day in sum-
mer; every other day during cold
weather.
Vermin are often troublesome. Pre-
vention is less trouble than a cure.
If you suspect them take the bird out
of the cage, wash and scald it, then
oil the top of his head with little
sweet oil.
A little coarsely powdered charcoal
in the gravel and rusty nail in the
fountain will restore a lost appetite.
The canary is a house bird. For
centuries this class of birds has been
raised indoors. He is not used to the
open air, and it is a serious mistake to
give him much of it, If hung out Of
doors some warm SDring day he is
generally forgotten; the sun moves
on, the wind freshens up and he
catches cold. This results in partial
loss of voice, sometimes in permanent
loss.
Canaries cannot endure draughts.
Their exposure to the open air should
be brief and careful.

Embroidery on Linen Coats.

Priceless hand embroidery lavished
on linen coats as it appears today
cannot help but call forth admiration.
A pattern of pronounced character
and beauty represents huge daisies
whose petals stand out in relief
against the pale green background,
the centers being of wide mesh net
darned with yellow. Curious little
scrolls and conventional figures that
coil among the flowers and leaves
are wrought with linen soutache
braid The collar and cuffs are in
crusted with smaller designs, as is
also the bolero yoke at the back. The
full box plated skirt accompanying
this marvellous coat is without fur
