THE twang of a bowstring may be called musical, and it is believed that the pleasure of hearing the sound led to the invention of the harp and the lyre. ‘Whether this idea is correct or not, we know that harps date back thousand of years, and that they then looked very much like huge bows. Egypt, great old Egypt, has left us pictures of harps which were used there before the reign of Rameses III, and images of harplike instruments have been found amid the remains of Babylonia. Many Egyptian harps were of large size, some having a height of 5 to 7 feet, and being fitted with 20 or more strings. Both men and women played on harps. Large harps of the Egyptian style were known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, but they favored the smaller instrument known as a “lyre.” Harps came into wide use in Ire- land, Scotland and Wales during the Middle Ages. Family harps were passed down from generation to gen- eration. A law was made in Wales that no matter what else might be seized for debt, the harp could not be taken away. ‘The harp music of the Irish be- came famous, and probably dates back even before the start of the Middle Ages. Writing 750 years ago, a Welsh monk declared: “They (the Irish) are far more skillfull than any other nation * * * their manner of playing is not slow and harsh, but lively and rapid, while the melody is both sweet and pleasing.” Harps still have a place in the musical world, though they are not s0 often used as in olden times. The modern harp, as a rule, has 46 strings. (For history section of your scrap- book.) Seven wonders of the world! Do you know what they are? Would you like to know more about them?

Why discuss it? | If every day of Winter was arctic, then there would be no need for thought about what to wear. The ! warm garments would be used without | & word of objection. Warm days do happen along every once in a while. | The sunshine of middle morning is {warm. The active children are soon | overheated and away goes the sweater or the overcoat. They wear no wrap at all, and this when they are perspir- | ing. The usual school room is heated to | about 70 degrees. Sometimes they are | warmer than that. Children dressed by anxious mothers wear woolen sweaters over their Winter clothing. Soon they are restless, heavy-eyed, in- ‘fllmntive and drowsy. The teacher | opens the windows and calls for exer- cises to smarten them up. For a few | minutes they respond and then sink back into sodden listlessness. “Take off your sweaters and hang | them in the wardrobe,” commands the | teacher. | “Oo-0, we can't, | must wear them.” How pleased they are to have such | justification against the teacher who | has been pestering them to work against the grain all morning. Mothers will come closer to what | they want to accomplish if they con- [ sult the thermometer before selecting the outer clothing for the school child. They will come closer to making the children comfortable if they follow the thermometer than if they follow | their own feelings about the tempera- ture. The thermometer has no emo- tional concern as to what the children shall wear. It records the tempera- ture impersonally and correctly. By following its pointing finger many of the troublesome questions about what to wear and what not to wear can be settled right, and without friction. The children will look at the thermometer and say: “Whee, down to 23. Where's my heavy sweater, ma?” Dressing by the temperature will help out at school. When mothers know that the children are to sit in a heated room they will not ask the children to put on clothing intended for outdoor zero weather. They will allow them to wear sufficient clothing to maintain them in bodily comfort and mental ease. When children are conscious of the temperature of their bodies they are not doing good work in class. The.thermometer is a friend in need to teachers and parents—and children. _ Pan-Broiled Ham.

HIS name is applied to all those inflammatory affections of the kidney ~where pus forms, abscess of the kidney structure occurs, with drainage through the usual channels. Surgeons look on such affection of the kidney as not only destructive to the kidney itself, but as a focus of disease that will do the general health much harm. Re- moval is thus the only way out, from the sur- geon's standpoint. ‘The urologist may temporize for a time with such condition, by means of the cystoscope and the lavage of the Mother said we | ureter and pelvis of the affected side. This is on a par with the removal of the diseased organ, a recognition of the incurability of the thing, a confession of impotence. The usual treatment for diseased or- gans is to cut them out and throw them away, in the supposed interest of the rest of the body. This is de- structive treatment, however, and never can be in any sense construc- tive or conservative. It is much more to the point to know what has caused the so-called surgical condition of the kidney and to remove this cause. The body will then restore the remaining tissues of the kidney to normal, the only pos- sibly constructive form of treatment for any diseased condition of any organ or tissue of the entire body. It is true, of course, that we do very well with but one kidney, for we have a large margin in kidney func- tion between what we must do and what we can do in the way of elimina- tion of nitrogenous debris every day. We may succeed in fully eliminating all debris coming by way of the kidney with but one organ, but we can more easily do so with two healthy organs. And this is surely as nature intended or we would have been created with one kidney instead of two! Surgery presupposes that in every case of pus infection of any part of the body germs of pus have found their way into the body from the ex- terior, a baseless supposition. Inflammatory conditions developing inside the body create pus cells as a necessary corollary of the inflamma- tory process. When we look on in- fections from this standpoint the whole theory of vicarious immunity through vaccination or serums goes by the board, with nothing whatever to support it except wholly unproved theory. Germs generate spontaneously in the body in response to chemical con- ditions of the body. And germs are subject to mutation or change just as their medium is changed, as has been proved times without number, and as every biologist well knows, if he made the necessary tests. The body conditions that resulted in so-called surgical kidney are not re- moved when the diseased kidney is William H. Hay, J1. D. extirpated. And what guarantee can we have that these same conditions | will not attack the remaining kidney? | And we must have at least one kidney! | Remove the causes that produced | the surgical kidney, and the body will soon make of this a normal kidney. | This is not theory. It has been | demonstrated many, many times, and till such demonstration breaks down | at least once, I am sure I can be ex- | cused for stating the proposition as a fact. Remove the cause and the body at once sets in to produce a cure. Every abscess is merely the body's ort to remove from its tissues some | extraneous material that has failed to find its way out through the normal eliminative channels, just as abscess removes a splinter from a finger. This realfzation of pus conditions is vital. Today's Hay Diet Menu. BREAKFAST. Poached egg yolks on hot buttered rice. Coffee with cream and sugar. LUNCHEON. Celery broth.

O CALL this fish a bird is not to compliment him, for his actions are anything but kind- ly. Sea robins are very vo- racious. They go after shrimp, crabs of various kinds, squids, oysters and small fish, such as herring, men- haden and Winter flounders. They add seaweeds for “greens.” Although this fish is edible and its cousins, the gurnards, are considered very good table fish in Europe, you cannot sell the robin in America. Possibly this is because his habits are so well known, and off the Southern New England coast, where there are great numbers of them, they have made themselves so obnoxious to the anglers by taking the bait that was enticingly placed for choice fish that the fishermen do not want to have a thing to do with them, much less eat them. From June to September sea robins spawn about Woods Hole, July and | August being the height of the spawning season. The eggs are buoy-| ant, slightly lemon colored, and have | from 10 to 25 oil globules of unequali size arranged around them in a ring. | These make it possible for the egg to | float. In water that is about 72 de- grees the eggs will hatch in 60 hours. | The young robins are very small. There are two transverse yellow bands, one close behind the pectoral | fin and the other between vent and | tails In five days the yolk has been | absorbed, the mouth has formed and the yellow markings are gone. Each day sees the little robin taking on the form of its parents. 1 When it is fully grown it may be about 16 inches long. Some of its ancestors have reached a greater length, but only rare ones have this distinction. The average length is 12 inches. Sea robins are, as a rule, a reddish brown, the crown of the head being redder than the body. Irregular blotches and bands of light and dark appear over the body. The under part is a dirty white or pale yellow. Look for the characteristic dusky spot, which is always to be found on the first dorsal fin, between the fourth and fifth spine. The second dorsal is striped or marbled, with pale and dark markings, and the pectorals are red- dish brown, though they are some- times black above and slaty below, while their lower, feeler-like rays are brown at their base and white or orange tipped. The ventrals are white. Use water colors when you are placing the markings on this fish for your scrapbook, and you will realize that the sea robin is very showy in his red armor. You will see the robins in shoal water along the North American coast from the Bay of Fundy to South Carolina. They are rarely seen north of Cape Cod. When you see a red-headed fish, with a tapering body and fan-like pectoral fins, don't mistake it for a sculpin. Look at the robin’s big head incased in bony plates, and his small mouth, flat snout, large ventrals and the three lower rays of each pectoral They are separate from the rest of the fin and are reduced into three independent feelers, that open at the tips, which is a very unusual thing even for a sea robin. In Summer the robin may be found close below the tide mark, or it may strike him to go down 40 fathcins. Like other warm-water fish, the, leave the coast in October and reap- pear in April, when the weather is more genial. It is probable they go into deeper water, where the tempera- ture is more to their liking. When they bury themselves in the sand they leave only their red heads exposed. Here the hunter lies, his bright eyes watching every small ani- mal that strolls upon the sandy bo tom. It is said they go “hunting using the feeler-like rays to shake the weeds and sand, to cause small fish to race from under cover.
