now few in number, but at one time
must have been abundant. In the
case Of snout butterflies, we have this
representative Of diminishing race.
There are only two species found
in North America today. And only
one of these species can be found
to any extent at least north of Texas.
You will have little difficulty in
identifying this little creature. Not
only because Of its long palpi, which
projects for some distance from the
head, but the front and hind wings
have an angular outline.
The color scheme followed by the
snout butterfly is spoken of as primi-
tive. The general color of the wings
being a blackish brown, well marked
with orange and white spots. The
under surface is more modern, with
iridescent grayish brown and in white
and orange brown markings. When
the butterfly is at rest it blends per-
fectly with its surroundings, except,
of course, the white and orange brown
which is not hidden.
The snout butterfly to be found in
various parts Of the United States
seems to prefer the leaves of hack
berry trees on which to deposit its
eggs. Now this is the interesting
thing about these butterflies, they
have not changed their choice of
food in a million years!
Fossil remains Of these creatures
have been found and we'll preserved

he was some joker. The singing ceased
at the first move I made to get out

Farmer Browns Boy looked amused.
He still didn't believe that his parents
had heard the canary singing. but he
had to admit that they must have
heard some noise that they imagined
was singing. Il would like to hear
that canary sing" said he. Il think
that tonight I will take the cage up
stairs in my room"
You'll do nothing of the kind" re-
piled Mother Brown. The bird would
catch his death of cold up there"
The next morning the first thing
after they sat down to breakfast he
asked his father and mother if they
heard the canary sing in the night.
This time both shook their heads.
NO" said Farmer Brown. I'VE were
both awake. but that bird didn't sing
last night"
Did you try to play joke on me
by bringing that bird up to my room
after was asleep and then coming to
get it before I awoke this morning!"
asked Farmer Browns Boy.
"Of course not!" exclaimed Mother
Brown. What put such a crazy idea
into your head?"
THE fact that either I heard that
singing in the night or dreamed I
did," replied Farmer Browns Boy.

"a little child shall lead them"
Isaiah, xi.6.
A RECENT news story told Of the
tragic end to a sick boys noun
tain-side climb to pick coal for his
mother. The boy, aged IA, was found
dead on a Stag heap, having died from
the effects Of exposure.
He had been Ill for some time, but
shortage Of fuel in the home caused
him to try to collect few bits of scat
tered coal on the nearby mountain
side. In the attempt, he succumbed
to the bitter Winter blasts. That boy
was a real hero. He deserves monu-
ment, as much as any war hero.
How a 13-year-old schoolgirl is
bravely "mothering" her three younger
brothers and sister was told in an
other recent story in the press.
my mother died last April and I
am the eldest Of five children-baby Is
only 18 months DID," she told the re-
porter
Since my wife died, she has kept
the home going" said the father, who
works for very small wage. "She is
up at 6 O'Clock every morning, gets the
breakfast, makes our beds. sweeps and
cleans house. After leaving baby in
the care Of a neighbor, she goes to
school with two other children. At
midday she cooks the dinner, and
when afternoon school is out, brings
the baby home"
The girl merely said that Is was her
duty. II had to give up going to the
Girl Guides when Mum died. I can't
even find time to go to Sunday School
now, for during the week ends Dad
and I have to do the washing" But
although compelled to forfeit all her
schoolgirl pleasures, she finds time to
visit her mothers grave every Sunday.
Neighbors call her 1.-The brave little
mother"
The poverty of homes during these
depression times has revealed many
cases Of youthful heroism, similar to
the two have cited. Only few of
them are told of in the newspapers.
In thousands of poverty stricken
homes may be found lads and lasses
displaying a courage that ought to
put to shame the weakness and cow
ardice that some grown-ups are dis
playing because Of their difficulties.
"A little child shall lead them" is
not all a prophecy; it is history. 1t is
the most inspiring history connected
with the depression period. 1t is this
history that tells of the depression's
real heroes.

had closed the book. But wouldn't he
open it again If he knew that Bill
Dysart would be Davilly's son-in-law?
Yucca and HeSperian fought each

~ HERE was mystery in Farmer
Browns house. Yes, sir, there
was mystery and no mistake.
Farmer Browns Boy and
Mother were puzzled. They
had been puzzled for some days. 1t
began when Mother Brown declared
that she had awakened in the middle
of the night and heard their canary
singing.
"You were dreaming, Mother" said
Farmer Browns Boy.
II was not dreaming" declared
Mother Brown in a most emphatic
way. II was as wide awake as am
this minute. It was pitch dark but
that canary was singing, not as loudly
as usual. but singing just the same.
He kept 1t up long time"
But canaries don't sing In the
dark, and you say it was pitch dark. "
replied Farmer Browns Boy. If you
weren't dreaming that bird must have
been. and singing in his Sleep"
Il don't know whether or not he
was singing in his sleep but he was
singing" declared Mother Brown, and
refused to admit that there was any
possibility that she was dreaming.
At the breakfast table the next
morning 1t was Farmer Brown who
brought up the subject. Il guess you
were right about that canary singing
in the night. Mother" said he. i
heard him last night"
so did l, but / wasn't going to say
anything about 1t and be told that I

that l could hardly hear 1t. 1t seemed

Mother Brown nodded agreement.

Here Is a Softly Covered Hot
Water Bag.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

NANCY was making a crocheted
wool cover for hot-water bottle.
The softness and warmth Of the wool
make the rubber bag, which some
times seems uncomfortably hot or
hard, acceptable to an aching head or
a sensitive skin. The directions for
this bottle cover came to Nancy from
Miss E. Mills of Toronto. Here are
the directions as given:
Use 2 one-ounce balls of Apply wool
in contrasting colors or use two shades
of one color. The crocheting Is done
with a No. bone hook.
Chain "a stitches or make a chain
equivalent to width of bottle. Chain
4 additional stitches having an even
number in the chain.
First row. Put wool over needle and
insert hook in sixth last stitch from
end of chain and pull wool through.
This gives 8 stitches on needle. Using
these three stitches make c. Chain
l double crochet into each alternate
stitch to end of chain. This gives an
even unmber of stitches. Turn work
over second row # chain 4, d into
back of second last stitch OF previous
row and chain. Repeat d C and chain
to end of row. #
Repeat from # to # for 19 rows
or until work measures as long as the
bag. Break wool and draw end
through last stitch, pulling it up
tightly With darning needle run it
along inside of work to get loose end
out of sight. Crochet second side OF
cover exactly like first side.
place one side on other. Hold
firmly and use single crochet stitch,
to faSten two sides together along
three edges, leaving space in middle
of bottom edge for tab of bottle to
pass through.
Around upper edge of cover crochet
beading by making alternately a
d stitch into each second stitch
of top row of right side Of work.
Chain one between each C.
with chain stitch make a cord
and run through beading. Make
tassels and fasten to ends Of cords.
Wool of a darker shade Of contrasting
color may be used to fasten two sides
together and for beading tassel and
cord. The cover illustrated Is made
Of pink and rose WOOL"

My Neighbor Says:

Salted nuts quickly lose their
freshness. When they are served
they should be heated for a few
minutes in a moderate oven.
Plan meals in advance with

When washing or ironing, put

Jerry. ST., looked at Jerry. jr. What

finished the rest of the meal with the
air of victorious crusader.

sternly-.

you were right about the Defoe after

Mrs. Sexton nodded sober agree

For two days the male representa-

family. Their every wish was fulfilled,
Still Gerald, jr., was disappointed in
the victory too easily won and not a

taken aback as was his father after

The doctors of Egypt were, in gen.

schools were in the temples. There
were many healing temples in the
Nile Valley; and remains have been
found of statues and tablets which
were set up by persons who said that
they had been cured by miracle, or as
if by miracle. The doctors wore spot
less white clothing; and some, at least,
were in the custom of taking bath

A remedy which was used for stom-
ach trouble was composed of cara

other was made of pomegranate seeds,
sycamore figs and beer, the mixture
being boiled before it was taken.
To ease stiffness of the neck or
other parts of the body, warm grease
was applied. The grease was made
from hippopotamus fat, crocodile fat,
fish fat, incense and honey.
