talking about 'mummies or the Pharaohs or Egypt, or land tenure in Argentina, when there are so many vital things to occupy the thought and attention?
 Tn the many years that I have been featuring, from one end of the globe to the other" MT. Barnes continued, T will say that within the past 20 years there has been the most remarkable de- velopment in the intelligence and fair mindedness of the public that has ever been recorded in history. The way it has opened and embraced new ideas is wonderful. A man can say anything in this day and time that he believes and he will have an auditor, if he says it in a respectful manner, and with rev erence for the great things of life: in- deed, people are glad to give him hear ing They are open to new convictions and opinions. whereas in the past they were intolerant of any innovation
 How do you begin on this work of influencing the public mind7" 1 asked Just what does it mean?'

This doesn't mean that he will be without his own convinctions, but rather that he will pos sess fairmindedness With such a founda- tion in childhood we must keep up the continuous love of vital activity in a com munity. The press, by the way, can do more in this respect than any other one power in the world It can do more to conserve an open mind in the public, or it can build up body of prejudices that will ruin a community-such is it's force"

A Not Uncommon Error

Why is it ungrammatical to say Everybody had their own way of think ing and doing?' My sister marked out the their when I put it into a compost ton. Everybody says 1t.
 RICHARD P.'' ''Everybody'' and "their," referring to the same person, should be in the same number whereas you put one in the sin gular the ether in the plural. The error is nearly universal that you need not be ashamed d as schoolboy of slipping into it The president of a college makes it habtlAlly in his public addresses and in the class roon I heard ans eminent clergyman say "The sexton informs me that valuable article was picked up from the floor of the church this afternoon. It is now in his keeping. If the loser will call upon him and describe the valuable they may regain their property" Of course he was in doubt to the sex of the loser, but why not take pains to say ''he or she?" I am glad your sister corrected the blunder.

Sweet Soup

ITO make a sweet soup take one quart of water one cup of prunes one-half cup of raisins one stick of whole cinna- mon, one or two whole cloves. the thin, yellow rind of lemon and juice (do not use the thick white), three tablespoons of tapioca, the juice of any fruit such as peaches or strawberries, and grape juice, enough to color the soup red. If there is no grape juice on hand glass of red jelly will do; add sugar to make it sweet enough to suit taste. The Danes put up grape juice in the fall to use for sweet soup or fruit soup as some call it, and also for red pudding, made somewhat in the same way, only richer, With more fruit juice and no prunes or raisins and thickened with cornstarch. It is eaten cold with cream. Some people do not care for sweet soups of any kind. learned to like them during the two years spent in Berlin when I was school girl. JULIA M

Time for SIeep

"1s it true that every human being ought to spend one-third of his or her life in sleep. if 1nrv wso~ uld live long and keep hea.tny? My teacher says so.
 CLEMENT C." I. is as absurd to insist upon this rule as that everybody, of whatever age, should eat the same quantity and quail ity of food. Children need sleep to re- pair the waste of the system and for growth. Adults require 1t for repair alone. Persons of the same age, but with differ ent constitutions, need more or less sleep, as experience has taught them. The old adsge, Flight hours of the day for sleep, eight for work. eight for food, and all for God" catches the ear and fancy. As cast iron rule 1t is subject to many notifications. The infant needs four or five times as much sleep as the old man; the lsboring man more than his scholarly master.
