WHAT DO YouRcHlLDREN READe

Little minds are like looking glass.
They reflect. everything that passes
before them. So do we all reflect what
we are-either good or bad. If we re-
fleet enough good, bad has no place in
our lives.

TREES CHANGE LANDSCAPE

Twenty-Five million trees have been
distributed in the last five years from
the Canadian governments forest nur-
sery station at Indian Head, Sask.'
and planted throughout the prairie
provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
The nursery has been distributing
trees since 1901 In the first few years
only few hundred thousand trees
were sent out a year but In the last
few years the average has reached
5000, 900 a year and is expected to ex-
coed this number in the future.
The trees are planted by towns anc
villages along their streets and by far
mers about their homes for shade ant
beauty and along the edges of theil
fields to furnish shelter for livestock
and Windbreaks for growing crops.
Such a wholesale tree planting al
ready has made change in the land
scape in many parts of the provinces
In time it will result in the dottins
of the prairies generally with grove:
of forest trees and eventually vii
transform the appearance of the prair-
les into a sembIance Of New Eng
land countryside.
The women of Western Canada havi
taken perhaps more interest in thii
tree planting than the men. Aside from
cash returns which shelter belts Civ
/ on grairies farms the trees add mucl
to the beauty and comfort Of the hom'
and this side appeals especially to thu
women of the farms.

RINGS OF DEATH

The employment of rings for crimi-
nal purposes was common in olden
days.
Hannibal, we are told, from a fear
of being delivered up to the Romans,
swallowed poison, which, to be pre-
pared for the worst. he carried with
him in the hollow of a ring, says an
exchange.
In those days hollow rings were put
together with a degree of skill far
beyond that of modern jewelers.. Some
times the poison was concealed be-
meath the stone, which opened with a
spring. It required but small space
for the virulent poisons which were
eoncocted by italian chemists in the
18th and 18th centuries.
The signet ring of Caesar Borgia
was exhibited some years ago. 1t is OF
gold, slightly enameled, and has a
motto around the inside. A box is
dropped into the front, having on it
Borgia in letters reversed. At the
! back is a slide, within which. it is
| related, he carried the poison he wa:
| in the habit of dropping into the win;
of his unsuspecting guests.

Contrary to the general opinion it
was not Inspector Byrnes who instituted
the famous imaginary barrier known as
the dead line"-a point beyond which
crooks could not pentrate except under
peril of immediate arrest, even though no
charges were pending against them at
the moment. The device was originated
BY William Melville, superintendent Of
Scotland Yard during the reign of Queen
Victoria
But it was in connection with the pre-
vention of a crime, rather than in the
solving of one, that Melville had his
most distinguished success. for if he had
not been able to capture Vroff, the ia
nous anarchist. it is quite possible that
the car of Russia and possibly some
Of the members of the reigning family
in England would have been blown into
eternity.
The affair in question occurred some
months after Melville had taken charge
of Scotland Yard. The visit of the
car had been widely heralded through
the press and everywhere governmental
operative in Great Britain had been
pressed into service to secure the safe
ty Of the visiting ruler. The entire
island was cenbed for men who were
known to be hiding, and, as a final
resort, Melville issued an order that
any suspicious character found within
five square miles Of the line of march
from Buckingham Palace to the Man
sion house would be arrested on sight.
The three days before the arrival of
the car, Melville's reports indicated
that the city had been thoroughly clean
ed up.
But on the very day Of the process
sion, only two hours before the royal
families were scheduled to leave the
palace Melville was informed that his
men had failed to apprehend the most
dangerous nihilist on the continent
a young Russian by the name of Vroff
who had escaped from prison in st
Petersburg and had entered England
in such a roundabout manner that his
arrival d1syl not been recorded. Ac-
cording to the word which reached
Melville vroff hal secured employment
in a wine merchants establishment
along the line which the procession
would follow. and had sworn to throw
bomb under the cars carriage as it
passed.
Melville realized that there wasn't
a moment to be lost. Also, -it>was a
Job which he must handle alone.
AS it happened, Melville knew the
establishment where Vroff worked, and
he also knew that certain vintage
Of champagne was kept in the cellar
whence it was procured only at spe-
! cial request. It was for this reason
therefore, that he made his way to the
