AN OFFICIAL STORY TELLER
Libraries In Canada Find Special Fea.
ture for the Entertainment of
Children Is Worth While.

In several of the public libraries of
Canada story telling to children has
for some years been special feature,
says an exchange. Each Saturday morn.
ing from fifty to one hundred children
assemble at the library in room set
apart for the purpose and called the
"Children's Room" The ages of the
children vary from six to fourteen
years.
At st. John, New Brunswick, story
telling has been continued now for
three years. This year it has been
found advisable to divide the children
according to age and to hold two
classes of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown in interest,
and the demand for books of less
trivial type justifies the work of the
committee in charge. During the sum
mer, when opportunity offers and q
story-teller of note is guest Of the
city, notice is given to the library, and
1t is often possible to have special
session.

Pencils In japan.

An unthought-of result of the war
has been the creation Of lead-pencil
industry in Japan. In 1911 japan i'm
ported 65,OOO,O00 pencils, most of
which came from America and Ger
many. But with the opening of the
European conflict German sources of
supply were cut Off and native manu-
facturers, who had been producing
only in comparatively small quantities,
seized their opportunity and made the
most Of 1t. In 1914 japan exported
over nine million pencils and in 1915
the number had increased to 16S,OO0.-
600. There is strong indication, OBJ
serves writer, that many Of the mar.
kets won by the Orientals will be held
by them after the war, for they have
the advantage Of very cheap labor.
Most Of the lead which they use is
imported from India and this country.

Woman Horse Nurse.

In London Messrs. MacNamara, who
employ about forty woman drivers,
have put their horse hospital entirely
in charge of women. Mrs. Parry, the
superintendent, says they have thirty
to forty patients day. She and three
assistants do all cleaning, grooming,
feeding and administering Of medi-
cines prescribed by the veterinary sur
geon. The animals, she says, are
grateful and companionable, and she
has no doubt that women will want
to keep on with this work after the
war. "We do not baby the horses"
she says. Somehow we reform the
worst cases Of temper, and the women
can do anything they like with even
fractions, nervous and suffering
horses. The effect on the nerves OF
the horses, and consequently on their
value, IL noticeable"

Heel Not to Bear Weight.

The weight of the body must never
be borne on the heels. In walking,
the leg Is thrown forward frcm the
hip. knee acting in harmony, heel
touching the ground first; but the
weight should be SO quickly trans
fefred to the ball of the foot that the
heel makes NO noise. One who walks
noislly is always walking Incorrectly
and of course cannot be graceful.

Equals Paekinotovsr.
To step into the army refrigerator
on n hot mid summer day Is rather
a novel experience. The thermometer
was about 30 as we went thru the
yards but as the colonel opened a
door Of the refrigerating plant we were
struck with an Arctic chill Of 3 below
zero,--a drop of 95 degrees as we
crossed the threshold. Inside. the
workmen were bundled in fur coats
wrapped around their ears. The floors
were slippery with frost and the long
ammonia pipes above dripped frosted
icicles like stalactites In cave. Frost
an inch deep covered the burlap cover
ings of the big sides and quarters Of
beef. and the beef itself was frozen as
solid as stone.
Many Of the workers In this place
are from the packing houses of Chi
cago. Besides more than u million
pounds OF frozen meat always on hand
there Is oleomargarine. butter. lard and
all kinds Of fats. 1t Is arranged like a
ship with -water-tight compartments,
except that these are cold compart-
mcnts. so that the freezing. is carried
only to those compartments required.
No ice is used, as the freezing process
is carried out by the forcing of am
monia THU pipes at high pressure.
The German prisoners stockade was
not far beyond. Here some 1000 Ger
mans, are housed and fed while they
take part in the construction and ware
house work. Around the stockade
runs wire netting Is feet high, with
number OF armed guards.
The prisoners show no desire to get
away, and. when an exchange Of prls-
oners was being carried out not long
ago two of them actually broke down
in tears at the thought of going back
to their native land. They sleep on
cots and their rations are about the
same as those furnished the labor
troops. The German officers have their
own barracks inside the stockade. wear
their uniforms and medals, and have
rather comfortable equipment with
spring cots.
Altogether it takes some 1900 labor
troops. besides 1900 Chinese, 1000 Ger
man prisoners. and a considerable
number of French Annamites, to run
this mammoth army establishment and
keep the streams of supplies moving
steadily to the fighting front.
