were vocal with bird songs; and the
drowsy hum Of butterflies and beetles,
seemingly drunken with the very de-
light of existence. When nature thus
moved to her fair domain, who could
remain within four narrow wallsP
The goal of Arnim's and Desiree's
wanderings was mostly that little rus
tic temple on the hilltop which, with
Ivan's help, had been very prettily
fitted up. Here Arnim often took his
afternoon coffee or his glass of light
wine-here the two had their little sup
pcrs, Desiree acting rs hostess. Here
with her work in hand she sat in a win
dow recess while the doctor read to
her. The tangled tresses of the maid
en-hair, blent with the rich sprays of
the cypress, touched the luXuriant hair
of the young girls head as it bent over
her work, or at some fine passage was
lifted that the beaming eyes might ex-
press the delight for which words were
too poor.
Arnim feared that Marianne might
discover these little feasts, and abrupt
ly end them. Absorbed in her own
pursuits, she was not included in their
division of the day. He often gazed
down the path, for the short, rotund
figure in the large garden-hat, and the
dress carefully caught up that it might
escape the ground. But to his relief,
no Marianne ever came.
':Do you know what my mother al

tired of this place? Is it too lonely for
youP Does Marianne annoy you by
her exactions? Tell me frankly"
He paused and gazed down upon the
airy figure in the pink dress. She had
thrown off her light summer hat-the
breeze waved back the curls from her
forehead.
"Uncle, how can you ask such ques-
tionsP" she cried, excitedly. "You
must know that 1 would like to live
with you always. Perhaps" she
added, mischievous smile displaying

instructor of the New York working
mans school improves his vacation by
teaching the boys outdoor slketching.
The boys take and develop photographs,
learn how to stuff birds and to catch
fish and have great fun with local scien-
fists in delightful morning rambles
which resolve themselves into object
lessons on geology, botany, mineralogy
and several other ologies, thus getting
useful knowledge in a way which can
not possibly drive off interest. They
learn the stars by night and hunt for
water bugs by day. They have gym

could be as well and wisely managed.
Such an experience is wonderfully
fine thing for city boys.
Profting by the example Of the
Worcester camp, the founders Of similar
enterprises might as well make up
their minds to the inevitable and found
girls camp near that of the boys.
The Worcester folks did not do this
till 1880, four years after the beginning
of the first camp, but it is fixture now.
This new camp is ON land belonging to
Mr.. Thomas II. Dodge, and lies right
across the lake from the park, 80 that
it is a natural enough rendezvous for
an occasional rowing party. The corps
of instruction is much smaller and Is
composed almost entirely of women,
and as the mothers of the girls are also
apt to come to camp to pass the summer
pleasantly there is plenty of super
vision. The girls are taught rowing
and swimming and gymnastics like the
boys, and hunt birds and bugs and
flowers with quite as much ardcr and
even more benefit to their general
health. DAVID WECHsLER.

corral lot Of inquisitive boys in the
open air Of wood and water where
natures problems face them no matter
which way they turn, and seek to d.
rect their natural interest in outdoor
things in healthful and instructive
channels-which is precisely what the
Worcester Natural History society is
doing in its summer camp.
Tho camp occupies the forty-acre
park of the society on the shore of the
lake. This land is entirely wooded ex-
cept where roads have been cut through
for convenience, and slopes down rap
idly to the lake, where a long landing
wharf has been built out into the shall
low water. The lake, pretty sheet, is
visible from almost every part of the
camp and is the center Of its life, its
activities and its studies.
There really are studies at the camp,
but the boys who come from all parts
of Massachusetts, to enjoy themselves
there don't know it. It's all play to
them. For instance, they study swim
ming, which is as delightful an accom-
plishment as 1t is necessary, under the
direction of the athletic director of Am
herst college. The swimming lesson is
very generally appreciated. They study
rowing under an expert from the Wor-
cester boat club, and another expert
teaches them how to build boats for
themselves, and they have carpenter
tools and lumber for the purpose. Other

Merriclx Bemis, physician and natural
ist of Worcester.
DIR. Bemis says that 1t is the object Of
the society to ''inspire young folks with
love of nature and o growing desire
to study the works of God in nature"
Has it succeeded? 1t certainly seems
so, though Col. Burbank says in his re-
port that he wants to do lots better yet
this year.
Perhaps ought to explain that the
camp isn't money-malzing concern.
On the contrary, the society spends five
thousand dollars a year over the cost OF
board on it and its winter enterprises.
Parents often wonder what to do
with their children during the long
vacation. In the long days after the
school closes they are often desperately
bored. and end by making miserable
the lives of all about them. The rest
lessness of childhood is natures way OF
intimating that activity and exercise
are necessary to its development, but 1t
doesn't always have room to develop.
Boys are always interested in learning
things, out Of school at least, and they
are, or ought to be, necessarily active.
It seems to me that the Worcester
natural history people have solved the
question Of utilizing the long vacation.
There ought to be such a camp near
every large city in the country IT 1t

benefit them and Others. There Is q
director of play for their benefit, which
Is another thing worth noting. The
superintendent Is a soldier, Col. Bur
bank.
Partly, perhaps, because boys always
like to play soldier and certainly be-
cause military drill Is good,for them, the
camp is organized upon military basis.
The commandant Is Col Burbank, of
course; there are two STAFF officers.
Capts. Ballou and Ewing, and the cap
tains of the companies into which the
boys are divided are drawn from the
companies themselves. The military
duties are few, but the boys are re-
quired, as at state militia camps Of In
structiop, to take care of their own
army tents and keep tho company
streets neat and orderly. The staff Of
ficers all have a youthful appearance,
as will be seen In the picture; this is
due to the fact that It is the settled pol
icy Of the society to have all the in
structors quite young men, as they are
better able to1nterest the boys in their
charge. As the young campers them
selves vary in height from six feet to
four, staff officers and rank and file are
like big family Of brothers Of varying
sizes off for a lark. This impression
gathers strength from the unconven-
tional nature of their pursuits.

It will be observed that there are
frequently three or four things going
on at once. This is a part Of the plan
of the camp. Boys are entirely free to go
with which section they choose, whether
to build boats in the workshop or 60
bird hunting without guns at the same
hour. This liberty Of choice is. not
abused. The boys develop specialties
almost at once, and stick to them with
considerable pertinacity. In the di-
vision of the camp for different pur-
suits each section will be composed of
from ten to thirty boys, the latter num-
Der being as large as can be proftably
instructed.
The superintendent of the camp, as I
have said, is Col. Burbank, an accom-
plished soldier of West Point training.

About the most practical work done

Worcester, Mass, by the Worcester
Natural History society, whose seventh
