TmE FIRsT FLEDGELING


i seems so lonely in the nest,
since one dear bird is flown
To fashion, with its chosen mate,
A home-nest Of its own.
We miss the twitter and the stir.
The eager stretching wings,
Tie flashing eyes, the ready song,
Aud-oh, so many things,
We find it hard to understand
The changes wrought by years;
How our own sprightly little girl
A stately wife appears.
u seems 10 us she still should be
Among her dolls and toys,
Making the farmhouse sound again
With Little Tomboy's" noise.
When berries npen in the sun,
We miss her fingers light,
Who used 10 heap them mp for tea,
busted with sugar white.
They never more Will taste as fresh
As when she brought them in,
Her face ablush with rosiness
From sunny brow 10 chin.
The Autumn peaches always turned
Their reddest cheek TO her;
She knew the ferneries OF the woods
And where the wild flowers were;
And somehow, since she len the nest,
We miss her busy hand
As gatherer and garnisher,
Whoever else has planned.
II little Gold-locks asks Of me-

But when her brother bites his up
And turns 10 hide tear,

ssNot long, I hope, my DEAR
She aufters back more bright with JOY
Than when she dew away,
And we are happy-oniy this
She never more VIII stay.
A bird OF transit, tarrying
NOT long in the old nest,
We scarce could bear IL, save We know
Gods holy laws are best.

The Woman Suffrage Convention
which met IN this city on Tuesday aud
Wednesday was composed Of a due ar
ray Of talent. Some of the most ele-
giant women of the country came TO
reason together in regard 10 suffrage
for women. And the calm, dispassiou-
ate and earnest bearing Of the great aud
truly earnest leaders who We're present
on this very interesting occasion is sig
nilicaul OF the genius aud spirit OF the
times. It is truly most inspiring to
witness the quiet, deep and earnest life
Of this movement. The principle Of
Woman Suffrage will soon he recog-
nized fact in our politics. 10 has passed
through the initial stage when men
laugh and sneer at IL on account of its
novelty and insignificGnce. 1t must
now be dealt with as a living, practical
and important issue. This agitation
cannot be stitlled. Its advocates have
neither been laughed down nor mobbed
down, and we DO not believe they can
be argued down. The only argument,
or what is called argument, is that the
T traditional position Of the sexes shall
/ be reversed. But in this the women
have the logic which is answered only
/ by satire aud gossip. The fact that
men with small brains sneer at these
I grand workers as "he- women counts
as nothing. Men of broad views and
enlightened understanding DO not dread
| the coming OF the day when their wives
and daughters shall deposit the ballot in
/ favor Of the measures and movements
/ they deem important for their country 5

How to Learn to Swim.

EVERY boy and girl should learn to
swim. This can be easily done by means
of a swimming board, and this method
is the safest that is possible.
If cOrks are used they may slip from
around the breast down around the body,
throwing the head below the surface,
and putting the wearer in danger of
drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with a short
cord, and use these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
for boy to have. Boards are perfectly
safe, and one may learn to swim in a
short time by using them. They should
be over four feet long, over a foot wide,
and two inches thick, made of soft white
pine or cedar
To use it a boy wades into the water
up to his shoulders, then, taking hold
of the end of the board, he pushes it
before him-toward the bank, and not
into deeper water-springs forward
with his feet and throws himself fiat
upon the water This m ovement carries
him along few feet. He then draws
up both his legs at the same time,
keeping the knees as far apart as posi-
BILE, and then strikes out with both feet,
not straight backward. but sideways,
just as a frog does. The stroke is made
slowly, and is repeated again. drawing
up the legs slowly and steadily. The
board keeps the head above the water.
When the leg stroke has been learned
one hand is taken from the board and
the stroke learned, or the chin may be
restad On the hoard wbile thp strOlre "a
taken with both hands. This is 4 very
good plan, and it compels the swimmeH
to keep his hand under the water
which he should always do By-and-by
the board may be pushed ahead, andA
the young swimmer may swim after It,
always keeping il within reach. When
number of boys GO TO swim, they
should always have two or three of
these boards with them for use in case,
of any accident YOHRg Folks RTrGl.
