RATHER THE OTHER WAY ABOUT.

[DY RALPH HAROLD BELTHERTON.]

So the boy is no longer the bully, Rather is it the other way about. It is the girl who bullies the boy. He who once lorded it over her is the victim of her tough and unkind will. That, at least, is what we are told.

But perhaps we credit the boy of old with having been much more Tuffanly towards his sister than ever he really was. True, she had long hair in those old days, and he was tempted to pull it. And, again, she was not very far on in her teens before her skirt began to hamper her movements, and be

Bullying Under Compulsion. Still, we like to see our sister pretty at the party, and were just a little proud when she had her social triumphs on the beach in holidays times. We allowed in our hearts that she wasn't a bad kid, She had all that silly, hair, and

He dances now, and is as fond of the ball floor as she. But what boy, in the days when we were boys, ever danced without feeling that he had fallen from grace!

HEALTH.

FAT IN THE FIRE. The food we take in is converted into permanent tissue or is utilized in developing energy. This energy is expressed in terms of heat units or calories. It therefore follows that the cellular structures of the body burn, that is oxidize, the food products. Metabolism is only a high-brow word for the internal fire of the human body that converts food into available energy.

THE GREATEST GIFT.

The greatest gift in the world is yourself. To give less is imper- tinent, to give more impossible.

'Then what is it, and how much of it have you? Is it suitable for the purpose? Is there, enough to go around? You may not, give more, you would not give less, you cannot give else.
