Paws to Feed the Birds.

ct pays, in dollars and cents, to
feed the BIRDS" writes Rev. Manley B.
Townsend in the Guide to Nature.
Every orchard should at regular inter-
walls have suet fastened to the trees,
as we'll as bird boxes for nesting pur-
poses. There is pleasure in watching
the feeding birds-their beautiful col
ors, their graceful movements, their
engaging ways, to say nothing of gain
ing their confidence and perhaps per-
suading them to light upon us and
take food from our hand. There is a
JOY in such companionship, deep sat-
isfaction in ministering to a depend
ent life. On Thanksgiving day, as [
sat down to dinner, glanced out OF
the window into the apple tree. There
was little downy woodpecker at his
Thanksgiving dinner Of suet 1--WE both
had suet pudding that day. and my
heart was the tighter and my Thanks
giving the brighter because i had a
tiny feathered guest to enjoy my
bounty. Try it for yourself and see
if this is not So"

LINGER ALWAYS IN MEMORY
Childhood Happenings Are Often Re.
called With Results Prejudical TO
the Mental Health.

"Most of us, looking back to our days
of childhood, can recall very little
about them, either pleasant or unpleas-
ant. The common assumption has ale
ways been that we cannot recall them
because they have been completely
crowded out of memory by the host of
other memory-images accumulated in
the intervening years. But lately, as a
result of the Investigations of group
of scientists to whom has been given
the name of Observation-Disclosures, it has
been proved that although the hap
penings Of childhood may in truth be-
almost entirely forgotten as far as
conscious recollection is concerned.

old of consciousness; and, if they are
Of an unpleasant nature, may act like
an irritant of the nervous system to-
undermine the health.
"Time and again the beginnings OF
annoying and distressing nervous
symptoms, of strange hysterical at
tacks, and even of seeming insanity,
have been traced to long-forgotten in
cidents of the early life, the casual
connection between the buried men,

ease being plainly shown by the disap-
pearance of the latter when the for

Unity in Livinu Room.

A large piece of furniture is often
required to create unity in room. A
number of small pieces do not give
the same effect. A big davenport would
transform room. 1t would pull it to-
gether and take away the patchy effect
it quite likely otherwise had. Among
the cheaper davenports there has been
a style which is usually upholstered in
tapestry, but another material could
be chosen at slight additional ex-
pense.
A floor lamp would transform the
living room or hall. AS soon as il was

The needle is one of the very old

Teaching and Learning.

There is more than verbal differ
ence between 'learn" and "teach."
There is vital difference. Education
comes by learning. not by teaching.
And what is learning? 1t is the ex-
perience of the spirit. We learn by
doing, is an old saying, and 1t is true.
II is the only way to learn. One can
teach till doomsday and not make a
scholar, real man. true citizen out
of a boy. Teach Is a misnomer I'm the
truth of education. Such a one is a
guide, a friend, leader. Telling a
child fact should be undertaken with
great caution, for when the child loses
the relation. he loses the truth. Edu.
cation is really absorption and the
duty Of the teacher is TO put the child
where the absorption proceeds. This
may not be professional. but II is to
be commended because 1t isn't.

Cut Trees by EXPLODING Dynamite.

Instead of an AK and saw to remove
the tops OF trees that are to be used
as masts in logging operations, dyna-
mite is used TO shoot off the tops.
After the branches have been removed,
a rigger climbs the tree, with a set of
irons, to the point where it is neces-
sary TO cut off the top. Here the trunk
is usually about II inches in diane
ter. The rigger ties a string of dyna-
mite cartridges. fastened end to end
like sausages, around the trunk at this
point, inserts blasting, cap with about
20 feet of fuse I'm one of these sticks,
lights the end OF the fuse, and de-
sends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top pumps into the
air with the explosion and the trunk
is left ready for attaching the rigging
for dragging in and loading the logs.
