EASY LESSONS.

Things Easily Learned Are of Compare
lively Little yalue--Hard Lessons Neces-
sary to Final Success.
There are some boys who do not like
to learn anything that is hard. They
like easy lessons and easy work, but
they forget that things which are
learned easily are Of comparatively lit
tie value when they are learned. A
man who confines himself to easy
things must do hard work for small
pay. For example, boy can learn to
saw wood in i've minutes; any boy can
can learn TO saw IL in the same time;
any ignorant person can learn it just
as easily; and the result is, the boy who
has only learned to saw wood, If he
gets work TO do, must do 1t in COMPETE
ton with the most ignorant class, and
accept the wages for which they are
willing to work.
Now, it is very well for n boy to
know how TO saw wood. But suppose
he knew how TO build steam engineg
This would be much harder to learn
than saving wood; but when he had
learned 1t he would know something
which other people do not know, and
when he got work TO do other people
could not come and get it away from
him. He would have n prospect OF
steady work and good wages; he would
have a good trade and so be independ-
ent. Boys should think of this, and
spend their early days in learning the
thing they need to know in after years.
Some boys are very anxious to earn
but this is not always best. II is often
more important that boys should learn.
When they are young they can earn but
little, but they can learn much, and il
they learn things thoroughly when
young, they will earn when they arc
oder much more than enough TO make
up for the time and labor which they
spent in learning what to do and how
to do it.--NdtionaL Presbyterian.

Well, l happen to know something
about the flag. When we made the
large flag at the academy, Prof. Com
stock told us about it, and the history
of the flag will take us back to the pc.
riod we were talking of in our history
talks In January, 1776, the British
held Boston, and Washington's army
was encamped at Cambridge. 1t was
then that the American flag was un-
furled. 1t had thirteen stripes, red and
white as now, to represent the thirteen
colonies, but in the corner, on blue
ground, instead Of stars, were two
crosses combined; the St. George Cros:
and the Cross of St. Andrew, which is
like the letter x. The next year, by act
of Congress, stars took the place of the
crosses. The number of stripes and
stars was changed by Congress two OIL
three times, but in 1918 il was settled
that there should be thirteen stripes and
star for every State. Faye Hunt.

The Two kepiIcas OF the Bust OF the Poet

from the one now standing In the Poets
Corner, Westminster Abbey, and presented
by the Prince Of Wales to Harvard College
and the Maine Historical Society, Of Port
land, have arrived at this port on the
Cunard steamship Samarla.
They are made OF marble aud are exact
reproductions OF the bust In the abbey. As
work OF art the bust Is superb. II is adj
mirable as a likeness and composed OF mar.
bic that Is without flaw. II shows the
poet In his grandest form. The pose Is easy
and natural, and being little larger than
life to allow for It's being slightly elevated,
the effect Is absolutely noble. 5t
No greater expression OF the high esteem
with which the. English people regard the
memory OF Longfellow could be shown
than the placing OF this bust In the Poets
Corner, he being the only person honored
who was not British born. tL
The replcas are now at the Customs
Appraisers Office, whence they will be de-
livered free OF duty on the sworn statement
Of Mr.. L. w. Hooper, Treasurer of Har-

TIME TO THINK. ,
The Importance OF Farmers Allowing
Themselves Time for Reflection. .

The Importance OF Farmers Allowing
Themselves Time for Reflection. ..
So important do we regard time for
thought that we believe it would be
money in the pockets of all farmers II
they would take up an hour or so every
day, even during the busiest season,
and that in the morning when the mind
is most active in planning and thinking
,of what they shall do and devising the
best methods for doing it. They surely
can not afford TO let their minds lie idle
at time when study, reading and re-
Election are the most important duties
which they can perform. Not that
farmers should not work TO some extent
during every winter, for they can think
and plan better while around the farm
seeing for themselves what needs TO be
done. II they observe intelligently they
will find q great deal more to be done
than they should think of attempting
without help.
So while the farmer himself should
other farmers, comparing notes and
learning rs much as he can about his
business, he will also, because Of this
increased mental activity, discover
enough work to keep at least one hired
man busily employed through the win
ter, and on large farms two or more.
This Is, perhaps, as great shock as we
can well give TO old-fashioned conserva-
tive ideas on this subject. We fancy we
hear many farmers who have read thus
FAR exclaimihg, in mingled surprise and
disgust: "Wonld you have farmers in
these times keep one or two hired men
through the winter 10 do chores and
get up firewood for the following sea-
sonp ? Most certainly we would not
II no more than this Is 10 be done the
farmer, unless he has other occupation,
can well do II himself. He will need
for health as much exercise as these
traditional employments win give him,

Governments 81, 100000 was mlsapplied or
wasted. Each Site and Territory received
$4,000 to aid their display, and the Govern.
NJ ent buildings cost Sl,000,00O. Many OF
the complaints OF exhibitors are due TO the
unexpected refusal Of the insurance COM
panies 10 allow anything In the buildings
that Is likely 10 cause fire.
The Exposition will probably be a finan-
cial success yet 1t has cost less than

tlon cost s7,0O0,OO0. They were several
years preparing for the latter, while this
one was gotten ready In eighteen months.
Major Burke made statement OF tho
finances yesterday at meeting OF the
Cotton Exchange and $4,000 was sub
scrlbed by members towards the 100000

over its difficulties. The loan will be re-
paid by reserylng $1,000 out Of the $4,000
