Some of the papers describe the set
Ting of the Canadian West as be-
coming fever with great many peo-
pie. The lure of its golden promises
Is creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
OF that unsettled territory" This pa

exercise care and thought before NOV

be wise precaution, and is exactly
what the Canadian officials ask.
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Americans
who have made their homes in Can

William, little country boy Of six,

the house Of an aunt, 20 miles from

being no small boys in his aunt's fam

About SQUIRRELS.

Do you know that at home in the
woods a squirrel has two cages, or
dreys, as his nests are called? The
winter one is placed in the cleft of a
tree between two branches, and is oft.
en- very large, for squirrels do not like
north winds and try to shelter them
selves as much as they can. The
summer nest is not unlike a birds
and is perched high up on a waving
bough as far as possible from the
reach of unwelcome visitors. Should
the mother squirrel catch sight of one
of these she will leap from branch to
branch with squirrel cub in her
mouth until all are carried away to
a place of safety.

Anna and her little cousin Mary
were playing on the floor with Annals
toy village. Presently a disturbance
arose. Anna wanted all the animals
and nearly all the houses, certainly all
the desirable residences. At this
Mary set up long, piteous wall and
tried to grasp the entire locality. Then
her mother interfered.

selfish At which Anna, selling the
opportunity, swept the toys out of
Mary's clutch and quietly remarked:
There, Mary, you hear what your
mother says, hope you won't be so
selfish again."

MISTAKE CAUSED BY PARROT
Initiates 6oatswain's Whistle and
Sailors on War Vessel Drop
Woman Into the Ocean.

Have you heard of "Merrie Eng.
land?" Well, it isn't always merry, but
here is very merry sailor boy story
that comes from there.
Some parrots can talk in a very
clever manner, and their droll sayings
often make people laugh.
One particular parrot was the pet on
board warship, and it was so very
clever that it learned to initiate a
great many things. 1t often heard the
boatswain of the ship blow his whistle
when he was ordering the sailor men
about their work. and before very long
it could initiate exactly every kind of
whistle.
Well, one day party of ladies came
from the shore in small boat on a
visit to the warship, and as the sides
of the ship were very high, they had
to sit in chair to be hoisted on to
the deck.
A rope was fastened to the chair, of
course, and some sailormen pulled the
rope until the lady in the chair got to
the deck.
Polly the parrot was looking round
a corner watching the ladies come on
deck in that way. And suddenly, as
the sailormen were pulling up another
of the ladies, Polly whistled like the
boatswain, and called out, LET co."
The sailormen thought it was the
boatswain who had whistled, and they
let go the rope at once, and in a mo-
ment the poor lady was in the sea!
Most fortunately, however. some
other sailormen were on the watch,
and they quickly pulled the lady out
of the water

Use Of Black Chiffon

Black chiffon over silver is a com.
bination favored by many of the best
dressmakers, and this combination is
especially distinguished on the woman
with gray or white hair. A touch of
chantilly lace laid over white chiffon
makes these black and silver frocks
ideally beautiful.

A LIGHT ATMOSPHERE.
Why Smoke Beats Down" When u

Why Smoke Beats Down" When II
Leaves Chimney.
ITS getting ready for a storm. See
how the smoke beats down Just as
soon as 1T comes out of the chimney
That's because the air is so heavy it
pushes the smoke down before 1t has
time to rise"
One often hears this stated as fact
conceEsaias that most generally talked
of subject on earth, the weather. The
speaker was probably right under
those conditions in prophesying a
storm. but he was scarcely right in
assigning as reason that "the air is
SO heavy 1t pushes the smoke down"
Nearly everybody knows 1t is easier
to swim in salt water than in fresh
water. As salt water is heavier than
fresh water 1t Is evident that the heav-
Ter the liquid the greater the buoyant
force
The atmosphere eXerts q buoyant
force upon the smoke from chimneys
in exactly the same way that water
eXerts a buoyant force upon a swim
mer. Therefore when the smoke beats
down" az soon as 1t leaves n chimney
1t must be concluded that the buoyant
force exerted upon 1t Is relatively
small and that the air is not heavy,
but light.
A light atmosphere, or. rather, q
sudden lessening of the pressure of
the atmosphere generally, takes place

The Tricky Fox.

A gentleman while hunting near a
river one winter day saw a fox run
out on the ice and make NJ full speed
for an opening in the ice where the
rushing water OF the river could be
plainly seen from the bank. says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned. followed his tracks back To the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon "A dog
came crashing out OF the woods, bay
ing finely. hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on u chase OF this kind
trust almost entirely TO their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along the Ice, head down, and when
he reached the hole he could NOT stop,
but plunged into the water aud dlsap-
peared forever. Then the fox trotted
away with every sign OF satisfaction.
