band behind the scenes to play a tune
in exact time with the apparent play

many other musical effects. such as
the singing of a solo. for instance.
The moving picture machine which
throws the scene on the screen also

by the band in back a picture of the

conducting the music. The band which

A nephew of Darwin. his thoughts
naturally drifted toward heredity and
his theory as to it gave him for Il time

was that half the tangible traits and

quarter from his grandparents and the
remaining quarter from all precedent
generations. This theory is sometimes
spoken of rs Cations law.
In his later years Cation took up
the study Of heredity with reference
to its practical application. He be-

How to Feed and Care For the Family

IL you want handsome pets that are
a credit to you they must be well cared
for and treated considerably.
All dogs want a natural outdoor life,
with plenty Of exercise. and those who
have not time to exercise their dogs
should not keep them at all.
Feeding a dog should be the special
duty Of one person. II it is every.
body's business the animal is sure to
be overfed one day and shockingly
neglected another.
Two meals a day and at regular
times are sufficient.
For breakfast early in the morning
biscuits. with q little meat or bones or
gravy. will suffice. but the second meal
about 6 o'clock should be more varied
and may include boiled rice with broth.

are undesirable. leading to digestive
troubles and spelling the appearance

A supply of fresh drinking water
should always be within the dogs
reach. and the vessel ought to be
washed every day.
