A diplomat Is a man who has ac-
quired the art of knowing how to wait
patiently until his turn comes.
What a splendid thing it would be If
people who lost their tempers were
unable to find them again.
Nothing is calculated to jar an ELI
gible girl like a young man who talks
about his money but says nothing
about matrimony.
When a woman goes visiting moth
ing hurts her so much as her inability
to impress upon her hostess the idea
that she is used to something better
at home.
Coal may be high but after it is
once in the bin it soon gets lower.
Even excuses that are made to order
are not always satisfactory
An old bachelor says that women
are given to small talk in large guam
titles
The more experience a man has in
making resolutions the poorer the quail
ity he turns out.
Every man has a threefold nature
that which he has, that which he ex-
hibits and that which he thinks he has.
Your wife, as well as your sins, will
find you out.

o lame excuse.

squirrels are eaten for food in great
numbers. Their food and habits are
not any more clean than those of the
wee guinea pig and it is claimed by
those who have actually eaten it that
the meat is far more delicate. The
Peruvians serve them in many appe-
tizing ways. The pig" is killed by
dislocating its neck and then the same
process used as that for a sucking pig
Unless the guinea is being raised
for show purposes, the satisfactory kind
is the smooth-haired variety. There

are pure white and have pink eyes
Sometimes there will be a single color.
but this is not often. In one litter you
may have a red, gray brown, and even
a glossy black one
1t is most difficult to keep the strain
such as to produce the colors as the
white usually predominates. The ma
jority of domestic guinea pigs are
spotted, the common colors being red
brown, dark brown, light gray or black
and white. The pigment under the
hair is the same color.
Guinea pigs mate at an early age
The females should be or months
old, though they often mate at l month
old.
The stories OF the size of the litters
are greatly exaggerated. There are
many rodents that raise larger families
There are five sets of babies each year
and from three to four in a litter. The
youngsters are well developed at birth.
Their eyes are open and they have
on soft fur coat. For the first few
weeks their mother feeds them. then
teaches her babies to add tender green's
to their diet.
The little sisters get along nicely
together and when they wed and have
their own babies they help each other
care for them. The brothers fight each
other and the younger ones have to be
kept in a separate cage from the older
ones.

it acutely, so we must be more particu-

Of 1t as possible.
Modern houses have been built with
an eye to fresh air. There are plenty
of windows that can be opened without
fear Of draughtS. There are washing
devices. ventilating shafts, humidifiers,

apartments are not SO well equipped but

process. They fill the room with tobacco

They like to have the little ones about,

of what they are doing, they light their

spits and sneezes and runs upstairs to
the baby's open-air rooms. Mactavish
sits on the doorstep, gravely considering
the queer ways of his betters. The baby
gurgles and plays and never utters a
protest, perhaps. But what about that
fresh air he needs? Z
Tobacco is comforting sedat1ve for
weary nerves. The children don't need
It. They can't use it, 1t does them
mighty little good. 1t certainly cheats
them of the fine, clean, invigorating air
that you have so Valiantly struggled TO
afford them. When you want to smoke
can't you send the children into another
room? There's always some corner where
they can be established out Of the way
Of the smoking adults.
No well-bred man lights his cigar or
cigarette in the living room without
asking permission of the hostess No
wellbred woman smokes without defer
ring courteouSly to the older women
present, as well as to her hostess. Why
be discourteous, inconsiderate and sell
fish where the children's interests are
concerned?
This is not protest against smoking
in ones living rooms. Grown people
have rights and needs and tastes that
touch their happiness. Every member OF
the family has to be considered and
provided for if the children are to have
happy home. Irritable grown ups
who feel themselves deprived of ordinary
comforts because Of some ones objec-
tions are not good parents for little
children to live with. Better smoke and
be cheerful than abstain and be un-
bearable. All that is needed is con-
sideration for the little ones.
Don't blow smoke in their faces while
they eat their meals Don't fill their
sleeping rooms with smoke. Keep them
out Of the living room when guests are
there smoking. Don't undo your own
hard work
