TO MY

Let us saddle our horses, lad,
And canter out and away
From the haunts that we know are mad
Ger the big, wide, silent way!
Tween the rise and the set Of sun,
There's a journey for you and me.
Let it be where the green miles run,
Let it be where the trail is free.
Let us sleep when the stars awake,
Let us wake when the stars grow dim.
Let us hitch to the golden stake,
Beyond the horizons rim.
For, oh! it is in our power
A measure of living gained;
a desire fulfilled each hour,
Or a worthy point attained!
Then why do you look so sad?
Up, boy! It's the break of day.
Let us saddle our horses, lad,
And canter out and away!

Thousands of men from the docks. the

these teams to the woods for the season.
FROM the moment they join until camp
breaks up in the spring there is hard,
unrelenting work.
The strictest discipline is maintained
says Pearsons Magazine; the men are
up at 4 O'Clock in the morning and work
until dark with the exception of the
noon time stop for dinner. Lights are
out every night at 8 O'clock
The cook, very important person in
the camp, with his assistants, is first up
IN the morning, and one of the most no
tlceable things about modern logging
camps is the great change in the bin of
rare. The noon day meal is usually
prepared and carried out to where the
men are working, to save time. The
cook brings the dinner piping hot and
the men eat it. sitting ON freshly feled
logs, often with the thermometer regis
tering 80 below zero.
But 1t is at the evening meal when the
days work is finished that the men are
at their best; there they talk and laugh

A BLOW FOR FINLAND.
Russia Takes the Reins of Government
Into Her Hands.

Admirals Wirenius and Sillman. Col.
Kraaz and Master of Ceremonies Berg
have been appointed to the Finnish Sem
ate by the governor general of Finland
in place of the senators who refused re-
appointment because the Russian cabi-
net insisted that the Finnish Senate
contribute 100000 to the defense of
the empire. The appointment of the
officers named is regarded as an almost
fatal blow to Finnish autonomy as it
practically abolshes the Finnish national
administration, placing the entire ma
ehinery of state in the hands of the
Russian governor general and a Senate
denationalized by Firms who have spent
their lives in the government service of
Russia. 1t is understood that the jul
dicial department of the Senate will
now resign, and the indications are that
this will be followed shortly by the re-
annexing by Russia of that part of vi
borg province which was Joined to Fin

MAKE YOUR OWN HATPINS.
Embroider Them of Linen or Material t
Match Your Frock.

The touches of embroidery which are
almist essential with the linen gowns of
this season are being introduced in a
great many instances in the form of
large embroidered buttons and hatpins to
match. The latter most effectively sup
plement the simple trimming of the giant
sailor hat of the moment, or that of the
mushroom of TagaI straw.
Nothing can be simpler to work. says
The Queen. You trace out the requisite
number of circles enclosing designs upon
Il piece of linen left over from the dress
and proceed to embroider them all before
the circles are cut out. You can thus
if you prefer it, work the designs in a
frame, which is the most satisfactory
method of keeping the rounds in shape
or carry the work cut in the hand much
more easily than if each button were
embroidered separately.
Half yard of linen will probably be
sufficient for a set of hatpins and buttons
but in estimating the amount of material
it must be borne in mind that double the
quantity necessary for embroidering must
be allowed, as each button or pin must
be neatly finished at the back with n
circle of plain linen, turned and invisibly
hemmed.
1t is as well TO trace the circles for
these plain pieces at the same time as
those for the embroidery, and both must
of course be left with ample margins:
in the one case for turning well over the
edge of the mould. in the other for turn
ing under the hemming.

BOY OF MARVELLOUS MEMORY
Imbecile Questioned by Scientists Can
Give Dates for Centuries.

An imbecile boy of 10 years with a
most marvellous "almonac" memory has
just been introduced to the Viennese
Psychological society. Armed with cal
endars of various years and kinds. the
scientists piled the boy with questions
on dates. covering all the centuries from
the tenth to the twentieth. SAYS the De-
troit News-Tribune. Without a mo-
ment's pause, and always correctly. the
boy answered such questions as: when
is Easter Sunday in 1917? What dav of
the week did June IA. 1905. fall on ,
When is Ascension day. 1923? How long
is the carnival season in 1924?
Besides all this the boy could give rigbr

year. Doctors from the idiot asylum
where the boy is an inmate said If was
impossible to explain his extraorljina ~
memory. The boy himself said ne usad

the doctors said this was clearly nor tbe

THE CELLAR.
It's Importance in Relation to the Living
Rooms


A warm, dry cellar is literally and ac-
tually the foundation of a warm. dry.
well-yentilated house. The evolution of
the cellar is an interesting study in the
slow development of human intelligence.
1t was devised originally simply as a
subterranean, frost-proof, pit or cave.

stored first wines, and later apples, po-
tatoes. cabbages, and other perishable
fruits, together with milk, butter, and

absurd insntiiciency of stoves and fire.
places for heating purposes was recog-
nlzed, as convenient place to put the
furnace. Then it was raised above
ground to make the furnace draw bet
ter. and lighted and ventilated, until now
it has become one of the most important
sections Of the house from Il sanitary
point of view.
Il should be cleaned, lighted, heated.
and ventilated. winter and summer, as
carefully and scrupulously as any other
part of the house When this is done,
we are rid at one stroke of dampness
with all its well known rheumatic. tu-
herculous, and other disease-breeding
tendencies. of bad smells from decaying
vegetables, Accommodations of dirt in dark
corners, leakage of sewer and other
pipes, which are now in plain sight in
stead of buried in the earth, of cold
floors and all the injurious effects which
come from dampness and moist decay all
through the house.
The complaint that heating the cellar
has spoiled its use for storage purposes
is simply proof of its advantages.
Nothing could be more utterly unsani-
tary in this Twentieth century than to
permit vegetables, cheese, fruits. and
milk to be piled together in dark bins
and adjoining compartments, nibbled at
and raced over by mice, rats, and cock
roaches imparting the odors of decay
from cabbages and rotting apples to
milk, cream, and cheese and sending
their combined aroma streaming CONSTANT

short Breath.

Respiration in health and under
normal conditions of rest or moderate
exercise is an unconscious act, almost
as much so as digestion or the beat
ing of the heart, but it is very easily
disturbed, even in health, and in Ger.
tain diseases its disturbance ia often
one of the most distressing symptoms
The short breath following violent ex.
ertion, such as running or hill-climb-
ing, is familiar t. every one. 1t is
due to the increased call for oxygena-
ition of the blood and the temporary
inability of the heart to pump the
blood in sufficient volume through the
lungs.
When shortness Of breath IS brought
about by moderate exercise or mental
excitement, it Is due to some abnormal
condition, such as anemia. obesity, a
weak heart or indigestion This ten
ldency is relieved by attention to the
weak point. whatever it may be, and
,judicious system of exercises sort
of modified training.
Permanent shortness of breath or
dyspn9a, as 1t is technically called,
is more serious affair, and Is usu-
ally due to some actual disease. What
the disease is of which this dys2nRa
is a symptom can often be discovered
only by careful and thorough medi-
cal examination of all the organ2 Of
the body.
1t is often called asthma, and treat
ed at home by inhaling the fumes Of
burning inter paper or by some other
of the ordinary remedies. But asthma
is distinct disease, although its true
nature is not yet definitely determined.
1t occurs in paroxysms, usually at
night, in the intervals of which the
breathing is generally easy and quiet
Permanent dyspnea is another mat
ter, and is an indication of something
wrong.
1t may be due to a great variety OF
causes, only a few of which can Do
mentioned here
Anemia, or poverty of blood may
give rise to permanent dyspnna as
