ice-crcam, eleven cubic feet of cake, seventeen
and hall pounds Of candy and practically
unlimited quantity of peanuts. Tic conse-
qucnce Of this vast stowage capacity on the Iart
Of the small boy is that the cost Of Que average
sized picnic Is equal to that OF ten assorted
hcathen. 1t is well known that nearly every
large Sunday-scloo Keeps q private hcathen III
Hlndostan Or elsewhere, who is fed, educated,
clothed with old hats, and occasionally washed,
at the expense Of the school. It is q painful
thought that the expense Of ten hcathein must
he annually expended in picnic in order to at
tract enough Sundav-school scholars to pay for
single hcathen. This lavish outlay is directly
traccable to tho large capacit;, OF the small
boys stomach, and no earnest Superintendent
will venture to deny this fact.
In the domestic circle the immense quantity
Of food which the small boy can consll,nc is j
source Of constant anxiety tn affc,:tjonatc m,
