SUMNER PLAy.-Nothing can be
more cruel and nothing more foolish
than to place children where they must
be dressed every day in fresh and fash
ionable clothes, and their freedom to
play curtailed for the sake of appear
ances. What childhood needs is per-
feet freedom among the things of nature
freedom to romp, to make mud-pies,
to leap fences, to row, to fish, to climb
trees, to chase butterflies, to gather
wild-fowers, to live out of doors from
morning until night, and to do all those
things that innocent and healthy child
hood delights in, in cheap, strong
clothes provided for the purpose. Ex-
actly that which childhood needs, man.
hood and womanhood need-perfect lib
erty and perfect carelessness. So,
whether the dweller by the sea go in
land for his summer play, or the resi-
dent of the inland city go to the sea,
he should seek some spot unvisited by
those devoted to fashionable display,
and pass his time in unrestricted COM
munion with nature, and in those pur-
suits and amusements which, without
let or hindrance, perform the office of
recreation.-Dr. +. G. Holland, Serb
ner's for july.

IMMIGRATION AND CHEEsE.-A con-
temporary accounts for the increased
home consumption of cheese by ref
erence to the great annual immigration
from countries where this article forms
a more staple article of diet than is
usual with Americans. Compared with
other kinds of animal food it is a very
cheap substitute, containing as it does
those azotized substances which con-
tribute directly to flesh forming. From
total immigration of 291, 217 Germany
alone contributes lis, l46, and those
are notably cheese consuming people.
Assuming for the immigrants from all
countries consumption per individual
of only one pound weekly, the yearly
aggregate would amount to fourteen
and one-half million pounds. Should
the influx of foreign settlers continue,
therefore, the constant increase in.
cheese production will not be likely to
throw any greater quanty on the foreign
market, or lower the rates at which
cheese will be held for export.

"PoIsoN" LEGIsLATIoN.-The Leg
islature of Michigan has enacted that,
hereafter, druggists or doctors who fail
to write or print upon the label of each
bottle or paper containing poison, the
most easily obtainable antidote to the
same, shall be subject to very Sc
we're penalty. The object is to prevent
the " excitement which always occurs
when some member of family has
accidentally swallowed poisonous
compound intended to destroy rats and
mice, by providing a remedy that can
be procured from the nearest druggist,
without having to lose time in hunting
up a doctor to make an examination
and write prescription-a slow and
tedious process, as nearly everybody
knows who has had experience of it..
The Michigan idea of prevention is,
perhaps, not as thorough as it might
be. 1t is practical, and there is little
doubt will be found to work well.

A comparison of the newspaper press

A comparison of the newspaper press
of the country, from an early day to the
census of the year 1870, will develope
many interesting facts. The number
of newspapers published in the United
States in 1925 was 5; in l775, "a in
1901, 200; in 1910, $50; in 1926, $50;
in 1928, S52; 1880, 1000; in 1884,
,265; in 1910, ,40l in 1850, 1902.
1t will be seen by the foregoing that the
increase in thirty years was 1,042,
while the increase in the last thirty
years-from 1910 to 1S70-was 4,470;
the total number of publications re-
ported in the census of 1870 being
5,S71; or one for every 6,56l of the
population.

TUE M.TERNAI. RARBER.-You can

THE MATERNAL BARBER.-You can
always tell boy whose mother cuts his
hair. Not because the edges of it look
as if it had been chewed off by an
absent-minded horse, but you tell it by
the way he stops on the street, and
wriggles his shoulders. When a fond
mother has to cut her boys hair, she is
careful to guard against any annoyance
and muss by laying sheet on the car
pet. 1t has never yet occurred to her
to sit him over bare floor, and put the
sheet around his neck. Then she
draws the front hair over his eyes, and
leaves it there while she cuts that
which is at the back. The hair which
lies over his eyes appears to be sur
charged with electric needles, and that
which is silently dropping down under
his shirt band appears to be on fire.
She has unconsciously continued to
push his head forward until his nose
presses his breast, and is too busily en-
gagged to notice the snuffiing sound that
is becoming alarmingly frequent. In
the meantime he is seized with an If
resistible desire to blow his nose, but
recollects that his handkerchiefis in the
other room. Then a fly lights on his
nose, and does it so unexpectedly that
he involuntarily lodges, and catches
the points of the shears in his left ear.
At this he commences to cry and wish
he was man. But his mother doesn't
notice him. She merely hits him on
the other ear, to inspire him with con-
fdence, and goes on with the work.
When she is through she holds his
jacket collar back from his neck, and
with her mouth blows the short bits of
hair from the top of his head down his
back. He calls her attention to this
fact, but she looks for a new place on
his head and hits him there, and asks
him why he didn't use his handkerchief.
Then he takes his awfully disfgured
head to the mirror and looks at it, and,
young as he is, shoulders as he thinks of
what the boys on the street will say
