"Welcome, welcome" they shouted.
The boy and the girl almost felt en-

Birth Rate of France Increases.

Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased in France in 1920. AT
Marseilles, for the first time In years,
the number of births greatly exceed
ed the number of deaths. At Chalon-
sur-Soane total of births for the year
was $50 and that Of deaths $40 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been !:
Births. 420, and deaths, 81. In Tou-
lon the number of births exceeded by
11S that of deaths, something that has
not happened in 80 years. From Or
leans satisfactory figures have also
been communicated, and at Dieppe the
number of births exceeded by 80 per
cent the number of deaths.

"A part of everyone's diet,

THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
THE PASSENGER PIGEONS.

VXyHERE roam ye now, ye nomads
The old-time heralds Of our old
time Springs?
Once, when we heard the thunder
of your wings,
We looked upon the world-and Spring
was there.
One time your armies swept across
the sky,
Your feathered millions In a mighty
march
Filling with life and music all the
arch
Where now a lonely swallow fiutters
by.
Where roam We now, ye nomads of
the air?
In what far land? What undiscov.
cred place?
Ye may have found the refuge OF
the race
That mortals visit but in dream and
prayer.
| Perhaps in some blest land We wing
4 your flight,
Now undisturbed by murder and by
greed,
And there await the coming of the

Who shall emerge, like ye, from eartl

whose only object In life is to satisfy

A man WITH A BRAIN ought to

work when he wrote, There is noble

The boy and the girl adventurers
looked in astonishment at the brown
les with the trays. The trays were be-
ing brought in for the banquet, and
they were growing larger, and the
brownies seemed to be growing Dig
ger. Even the food on the plates
and on the trays was growing. too. 1t
was all most mysterious.
"Grow, grow, grow" the brownies
all sang in sing-song fashion
"Grow, grow, grow, so, SO, so, tor

In another moment a great gong
sounded through the hotel and there
was heard a great scurrying.
1t was then that the boy and the
girl looked about them In the hotel.
The staircases were great high, wind

could see some scratches on the floors
which looked as though there had been

LECTURE-TEACHING

TN PARIS, when our soldier boys
i were on leave and seeing the sights
of the great city, it was common to
meet an American girl taking a
bunch Of the boys through one or
the other of the museums that make
part of its glories. They made these
trips interesting by telling stories
about many of the famous pictures and
statues.
Anna Curtis Chandler is doing some
thing of the same sort in her Sunday
Story Hour for children in the Metro
politan museum in New York city. She
confines her work TO the lecture hall,
however, and illustrates what she says
with stereopticon slides. But there
is an idea here that might be carried
out In many Of our smaller cities and
towns. There are often excellent lit
tie museums in such towns whose con-
tents. II they were brought to the at
tention of the young people, and the
older ones, too, would add Immensely
to the appreciation and understanding
of art and beauty in community, as
well as to the knowledge of the his
tory of art. A clever girl who wished
to do this sort of work would have to
take course In art history. She
would need to understand the different
periods, to know the masters. She

RUBBING THE LAMP

0F ALL the stories that out OF
" far-distant past have come down
to entertain and teach us none Is
more compelling in its interest than
that of Aladdin and his wonderful
lamp.
There are several versions of the
fact, but one feature remains the same
In all the variations-in order to get
the benefits which the lamp had pow
er to confer the possessor had to rub
1t.
In other words, 1t took WORK TO
get the desired results and to enjoy
the benefits.
The greatest disgrace In this life
is to be idle. To produce nothing,
to feed upon the mental or physical
labors of others, reduces man to a
rank lower than the animals, for they
strive at least for their food.
"He is not only idle who does
nothing" says Seneca, "but he is idle
who might be better employed"
The thing to do is to find that task
for which you are best fitted, which
you can do with the greatest efficiency
and the greatest pleasure, and do that
task with all your might.
Count your efforts by results.
The punch that does not land never
overcomes your opponent.
The bullet that spends its energy

measures endeavor and fixes its value
Idleness is emptiness. Emptiness al
