SHOOTING THE RAPIDS.

An Exciting and Somewhat dangerous I'm
dertHklng.
The running OF the rapids in canoe
is the most thrilling experience inci-
dental to q Journey through the wilder
ness
The canocman stands erect with one
foot in advance OF the other, and with
his long iron-tipped setting pole controls
the movements Of the birch. He does
not allow the canoe to 20 down as swift
~ as q novice would suppose he would
have to, but "snubs" her along slowly
now and again giving n few vigorous
pushes to reach better channel Sub
merged rocks show their location by the
appearance Of tho water which rises
over them in q smooth mound, which
ends in wave OF snowy foam on the
lower edge, as the water sets oil from
the sides
A canoe, II handled skillfully, will
clear them by hands breadth in
safety. Sometimes, finding the water
shoaling. it is impossible to proceed,
and then the canoe is backed across the
stream to point from which channel
may be selected. At times n bump
against rock is unavoidable, but un.
less sharp jagged point or edge cuts
the birch she usually sustains no seri-
GUS injury. The responsibility OF the
management rests upon the man in the
stern, though the bowman may render
assistance with his paddle.
One danger. though it is rather an
unlikely accident is the chance Of
the setting pole catching between
two stones or in a cleft in ledge,
and being wrenched from canoe
mans hands. In that case, unless
he is quick to seize his paddle,
the stern will swing around broadside
to the current and capsize is theE
unavoidable. This accident did happen
once to me, but not being in bad p ace
few vigorous strokes OF the paddle
brought the little craft to place Of
safety and the pole was recovered.
There 10 danger too Of the pole slipping

=. a NATIONAL DEFECT.


Tho Voices OF American Girls Need culti-
walton.
Pretty, and charming, and clever, and
altogether attractive as the American
girls undoubtedly are, there Is no de-
nyinR the fact that their voices are de-
cidedly bad, and that when excited and
talking together their tones are not
dulcet In fact they are decidedly Of
the peacock order. It Is great pity,
for it is very disseminating to hear
shrill, discordant infections from q
pretty mouth. The following little in
stance was told the writer by an eye
witness:
A very pretty girl, in the very smart
est OF traps in oil the glory Of fresh
summer garments was driving down a
country road, when something became
entangled about her harness and she
checked her horse to ascertain the cause
OF the difficulty. Gu to charmed to be
OF assistance to the very fetching young
woman, one OF two young men who were
passing hurried up to offer his services,
when the vision, like Balaam's long
cared friend, ''opened her mouth and
spake." 'Thank you," she So d in the
most nasal and harshest OF voices, II
think can manage it."
The young fellow started as II shot.
and lifting his hat walked on. Good
heavens, what voice!" he said to his
companion. who knowing both tho girl
and the susceptibility Of his friend, had
been shaking with silent laughter over
the whole scene. OF course, this is an
extreme case, but 1t is true, neverthe-
less, that very few OF our girls have
trained voices, and that the fear OF be-
ing thought affected prevents many an
honest, sensible young woman from en-
deavor .ng to correct faults OF accentand
intonation.
II vocal culture were made part Of
our public school curriculum, as it
should be, this would not be the case.
We have q national defoct-why not
acknow lodge the fact and try to cor
rect 1t? Principals OF our best schools
should give this matter serious atten-
ton. but how often one finds in the
most expensive establishments uncultt-
waited voices among tho teachers with
whom the girls are thrown in daily con-
tact-particularly in the primary de-
partments where OF all places the accent
and tones should be OF the very best
Even the head OF the school herself Is

HOW A DOG SOLD FLOWERS
A Faithful Four-FOoted Friend Who Helped

lie was only dog, but q very smart
dog indeed. lie belonged to the class
known as shepherd dogs which are
noted for their sagacity and fidelity.
His master was little Italian boy
called Beppo. who earned his living by
selling flowers on the street
Tony was very fond OF Beppo. who
had been his master ever since he was
puppy and lieppo had never failed to
share his crust with his good dog.
Now Tony had grown to be large,
strong dog, and took rs much care OF
Beppo as Deppo took OF him. Often,
while standing on the corner with his
basket on his arm, waiting for GUS
toner, Beppo would feel inclined to cry
from very .oneliness; but Tony seemed
to know when the "blues" came, and
would lick his masters hand. as much
rs to say: You've got me for fr end
Cheer up! I'm better than nobody! Pil
stand by you!"
But one day it happened that when
the other boys who shared the dark GEL
lnr homo with Beppo went out early in
the morning as usual, Beppo was so i'll
that no could hardly lift his head from
tho straw on which he slept He felt
that he would be unable to sell flowers
that day. What to do no did not know
Tony did his best to comfort him; but
the tears would gather in his eyes, and
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
he at last forced himself to get up and

his basket, the boy went home again
and tied it around Tony's mock. Then
ne looked at the dog and said:
Vow, Tony you are the only fellow
I've got to depend on. Go and sell my
lowers for mo. and bring the money
home safe, and don't let any one steal
any thing" Then he kissed tho dog
and pointed to the door.
Tony trotted out in the street to Bep-
pos usual corner. whore he took his
stand. Beppo's customers soon saw how
matters stool, and chose thoir flowers
and put the money in the tin cup within
tho basket Now and then when arude
boy would como along and try to snatch
flower from the basket Tony would
growl fiercely and drive him away.

nightfall Tony went home to his master.

Educational Suggestions.

SCIENCE FOR THE CHILDREN.-lf
parents possessed the requisite knowl-
edge of natural science to enable them
to teach their children, and if teachers
were prepared to give oral lessons and
guide their pupils in nature studies,
there would not be so much need of
works in natural science suited to pri-
mary grades. Children cannot do much
in studying nature without guide, and
if they cannot have an oral guide, they
must have book to aid them. A great
many parents and teachers would learn
much by taking the right kind of a book
and going through it with the little
ones. Children as a rule, like TO learn
about insects, birds and the like. In
the country and especially on the farm
there are plenty of materials for object
lessons, but children should not be con-
fined to the study of things about them.
They need to know of the wonders of
nature in other places. Julia McNair
Wright has prepared a series of books
called asa Side and Way Side" or
" Nature r. adcrs," which are very in

raj science. Two seasons use of them

THERE are some kinds of apple trees
that are, with an occasional exception,
regular annual bearers; but it will be
observed that such are only moderate
bearers. This gives them the same
advantage as thinning the fruit when
small. We doubt if thinning will pay
at any great distance from good mar
ket, at present rates of transportation
on New England railroads. 1t is a
bigger job than any one would believe
until tried, to pick off five-sixths of the
apples on heavily laden tree of full
size. 1t would cost from three to
seven dollars a tree to do it, and nine
teen men out of twenty, when set at it,
would do more damage than good. AS
