Baths for the Eye

For the daily care of the eyes there
should be two baths. The body must
have its bath. The face must have its
cleansing. Why not the eye? Especi-
ally as the eye with it's thick lid and
the fringe of the eyelashes is a dust
trap, and the slightest speck of dust
allowed to remain beneath the lid may
cause irritation of the lid and infama-
ton of the eye.
For the eyes daily bath I offer you
the choice of several lotions My IA
vorite is: Ten ounces of pures trose-
water Apply with an eye cup, turn
ing the eye cup upside down so that
the half open eye is completely washed
by the contents of the cup. Hold it thus
for 80 seconds, or, if not uncomfort-
able, for full minute. Throw away
this rosewater. Rinse the glass and
give the eye a second bath.
If the ewes are unduly irritated the
bath can be repeated several times
Ordinarily a bath in the morning on
rising and another at night on retiring
are enough.
Some of my friends who have beau
tiful eyes prefer elderdower to rose
water It is equally good and should
be applied in the same way
Another excellent bath is one-halt
an ouce of with hazel; one-half an ouce
of distilled water Shake we'll in
bottle and apply with an eye cup.
One other bath I must tell about that
is most excellent for Strengthening
the eyes: Six drops of boracic acid,
one wineglass of distilled water.
A bath in borax water is highly
beneficial and has the advantage OF
being always convenient. Even while
travelling one may always carry a box
of borax Moreover, it is safe, be-
cause borax will only form 4 per
cent solution, that is only A per cent
of it will be absorbed by water. A
borax bath is very Strengthening If
the eyes are delicate or the person 50
prejudiced against experiments that
she is not willing to introduce this
substance directly into the eyes, a silk
handkerchief or a soft clath dipped in
boraX water and pressed upon the eye
lids is both efficacious and soothing.
The old-fashioned remedy of cold
tea leaves pressed opon the lids has
value, not from the tea leaves intrin
sically, but from the cool, moist con
tact. Cloths dipped in water are quite
as good.-New York American.

A Little Girls Prayer

And the dark is going by:
The evening is arising,
1t is time to rest.
When | am sleeping,
find my pillow full of dreams,
They are new dreams:
No one told them to me
Before | came through the cloud.
They remember the sky, my little
dreams.
They have wings: they are quick;
they are sweet.
Help me to tell my dreams
To the other children!
So that their bread may taste whittier,
So that the milk they drink
May make them think of meadows
Now the flowers are all folded,
In the sky of stars!
Help me give bread to the hungry
children
So that their dreams may come!
So they will remember what they
knew
Before they came through the cloud.
Let me take their little hands in the
dark,
The lonely children,
The babies that have no mothers any
morei
Dear God, let me hold up my silver
cup
For them to drink,
And tell them the sweetness
OF my dreams.

Seven years old.

EmuS Here Nest
in the Winter

MANY emus have been in the New
York geological Park, but it it is only
in recent years that they have been
induced to breed here" writes Lee s.
Crandall Curator of Birds of the
New York Geological Park, in an
article on "The Troubles of Father
Emu" in a recent issue of Boys Life
In 1914 new quarters for our emus
became available, including several
acres of pasture, divided into two OF
three large corrals They had not been
there long when the deep-tones
booming of courtship was heard.
In Australia we find our seasons
reversed. Summer is the antipodes
and spring being correspondence up
set. Since most birds the world over
rest in the spring, to give the young
time to grow before the coming OF
cold weather. the emu in Australia
breeds at a season which corresponds
TO our autumn. Habits ages old are
hard to break, and captive emus in
the northern hemisphere, far from
their native home, feel the mating
instinct at almost exactly the same
time as if they were in Australia. That
this happens to be late autumn or the
dead of winter matters no whit.
1.-THE question of reaction to changed
conditions in regard to nesting periods
is still unsolved in many cases. Some
birds change their habits to cores
pond with the conditions as they find
them. Others nest at their normal
time, no matter what the season may
he in their new home. The cereopsi5
goose, a rare bird from Australia and
Tasmania, has nested on many occas-
ions in the New York Geological Park,
but always in our spring. This bird, .
low citizen of the emu, has conformed
to bird customs in America, and nest;
always in May or June. An explana-
ton may be found in the fact that it
is somewhat less hardy than the emu
and finds the rigor's of winter a check
to love-making. The emu, however
care not for snow or cold, and so it l.;
that we find nesting in January,
when most wild life is at its lowest
ebb."

Several of the nations of the world
are clamoring for the control of the
toy trade, and it is quite likely that a
great share of it will fall to the United
States owing to the ingenuity which
has developed in this direction among
the toy makers of this country. One
of the most recent innovations in the
manufacture of dolls is one which has
eyes which may be moved in any di-
rection in life-like manner at the
will of the little mother who holds
the mimic baby in her arms.
The end of a lever fulcrumed to
swing universally is slightly exposed
in the back of the dolls head, yet
hidden under the hair of the doll. A
slight movement of this causes tho
eyes to move together in any direc-
ton, and the effect as one sees these
eyes of porcelain rolling around in
such life-like manner is truly per-
picking,

Motorists Must Save Oil or the
Price Will Soar Beyond Reach
Waist of One-Falf Gallon per Touring Car per Day
Means Million Year

Germ the person who does not own
car, might be asked. Let us see.
There are hundreds of thousands of
motor trucks. They do great work
in the transportation of various COM
modities. There are hundreds of thou
sands of motor cars to be built this
year. If the price of gasoline adj
vances the cast of transporting goods
will be increased and you will have to
pay it in the higher prices you pay
for eggs, for milk, for beef, for vege
tables, for moving your household
goods, for anything and everything
you eat or use, for directly or indi-
rectly it will be in the bill the general
public has to pay.
waste of one-half gallon of gas
oline per passenger car per day means
1,095, 100000 gallons year. Wow!

If the users of passenger cars would
save the one-half gallon a day they
waste it would equal 1926, 100000 ton
miles of haul.
Economy in gasoline means more
than the general public appreciates
More oil is being used today than is
being produced. That means the re-
serve stocks are being drawn upon.
Curtailment of waste is imperative
It rests with the users of gasoline to
do voluntarily what otherwise they
inevitable will be forced to do.

Handy Furniture
for Crowded Corners

The combination cabinet-couch is a
very hand piece of furniture designed
for utilizing space in crowded quar-
tiers, which is the invention of Bos-
ton woman In these days of housing
problems these combinations are es-
sential, and this one looks as if it
might fulfill all the functions of a
bed, lounge or clothespress with
credit.
Instead of being supplied with a lid
as most box couches are this has a
number of drawers and compartments
of different shape and the storage ca
pacity of such cubby holes is very
great and at the same time utilize
what is frequently simply waste space.

 "Fm sorry to hears that" answered Hilary. "But suppose something can be done with the wood. There are uses besides pulp-wood to which the timber can be put?"
 Monsieur Lamartine drummed his fingers for quite a while before an- swering.
 "A company with a large capital might find it commercially profitable to develop your tr8ct," he said pres- entity. "But no man without an ample fortune and thorough knowledge of lumber conditions in this province could dream of pulling out even.'
 Hilary leaned forward in his chair. Monsieur Lamartine," he said, "I'll tell you how I view this matter. I didn't build any extravagant hopes upon my uncle's legacy. I'm not con- structed that way. What I want prin- cipally is to settle somewhere among trees and do something with them. I'm tired of what I've been doing these past five years.
 I'm tired of hunting a job here and job there to tend somebody else's trees. I'm tired of other peoples trees. want my own trees. I want to see them grow up, and thin them out, and have a real forest in bearing.
 "So I've decided to take hold of that St. Boniface tract and see what can make of it. I'm going to show my un- cle. Monsieur Lamartine, that he sized m,s up wrong"
 Monsieur Lamartine smiled at his callers frankness.
 T understand how you feel, MT. As kew" he said. "What you want is a nice little tract of a few hundred acres, not far from Quebec. A place with little trout lake on it, to build your camp beside, ten acres freehold and the rest leased. You'll enjoy that, and"-he paused and scrutinized him with his fox look-"I think may be able to dispose of the Rosny white ele- phant for you."

 Firing him here" said Hilary. "Tell him Tm waiting for him.
 The little man departed at trot, quite evidently startled and scared, and casting back eomical looks from time to time over his shoulder as he went
 His statement in the store must have created a good deal of sensation, for presently two clerks, as well as the two loungers, who had gone inside, came to the door and stared. Disen- gazing himself from among these came the foreman, tall, lean, lanky New Englander, whose deliberate slouch and typical bearing warmed Hilary's heart instantly. He knew the type, knew 1t as only one with the New Eng land blood knows his own.
 I'm Lafe Cornell, at your service, MT. Askew," said the foreman, coming up to Hilary and standing respectfully before him.
 T suppose should have let you peo- pie know that I was coming" said Hilary.
 He wondered why Lafe Cornell whistled; he knew nothing about Brousseau's telephoned warning.
 q guess you'll find things upset a little" said Cornell. "Mr. Morris has been away for a couple of weeks, see ! ing to his other interests, and I can't exactly do much for you. till he comes back. It's our slack molAh, you know, MT. Askew. The men don't go into the woods until September, and we don't keep large force employed on the mill work"
 "Tomorrow's soon enough to start in," said Hilary. 'T'm pleased to have met you, Mir. Connell."
 Wait a minute,' said the foreman. If you don't mind having me, I'll go up to the hotel with you. Maybe there'n be some things that you'll want to ask me-"
 All right" said Hilary.
 They went together silently across the shaking bridge and ascended the hill, each quietly taking stock of the other. At the top, where branch road ran off at right angles to that which crested the cliff, figure on horseback appeared in the distance.
 It was girl, riding side-saddle. As the horse drew near she pulled in to take the branch road without scatter ing the dust, passing within few feet of Hilary. He saw that she was about twenty years of age. or little more

spruce; there was also some white spruce and little pine. The mass in the river, if it consisted of wood of the same quality, hardly substantiated Lamartine's statements.
 You seem to have some good spruce on the seigniory." said Hilary.
 The little man leaped to his feet, waving his arms. "What you want here?" he demanded. Strangers are not permitted on the company's prop erty. If you want to buy at the store, you go by the road"
 Hilary looked down coolly at the excited little man. ''I'm MT. Askew, and I've come to take charge of my property" he answered.
 The little man was bereft of vocal powers for quite some time.
 "But MT. Morris, he ain't here," he gasped at length.
 "Well, he ought to be here. That's what I'm paying him for" said Hilary. What's your name?"
 "Jean-Marie Baptiste."
 Perhaps you didn't expect me, Mon- sieur Baptiste?'
 'Holy Name, no! It was said that you had sold out to the company"
 "What company?" demanded Hilary.
 "The company at Ste. Marie. Mon- sieur Brousseau's company"
 "See here, Baptiste," said Hilary, taking the other by the arm. 'Let us begin by understanding each other. I
