Round Pegs in a Square Hole.

A great deal of misdirected effort in this
laundering world is due to the fact that
people are compelled to engage IN work
which they dislike, when just around the
corner, 50 to speak, is work which they
might love. Ambitious parents decree
that the lad who would make painter,
whose eye for color and form is true, or
whose soul responds and fingers thrill to
the vibrating chords of melody, shall in
stead enter a counting room, and be ap-
prenticed to business for which he has
no aptitude. Similarly, boy who would
succeed IN farming or in the carpenters
shop Is destined to liberal profession,
and compelled to undergo long course OF
training for this, which, owing to their
lack OF fitness, is almost abortiye in its re-
suits. Half the failures and defeats In life
may be attributed to the placing of the
round peg IN the square hole. Men and
women are forced to work at that which
they dislike, and which does not enlist
their highest powers.
We ought never TO forget, In our esti-
mate OF success as opposed TO failure, that
there Is higher standard than the merely
matt rial one. To succeed financially may
be to fail morally, and in our ardent,
pus hing, commercial country We need
constantly TO set before our boys and girls
the love Of work for he works own sake.

WALKING.
Some of the Advantages Derived From
This Healthy Exercise

This Healthy Exercise.
Julian Hawthorne evidently is enthusi-
aStic on the subject of 'Walking." In q
late number of Lippincott's Magazine he
says:
''lo walk is wise, independent, manly
and moral. 1t is also healthy and agree
able. Our characteristic Impotence and
fury Of competition have introduced arti-
fetal and, in measure, Objectionable
features into it. But let us linger few
moments over its aesthetic and hygienic
rewards, The man afoot on the surface If
his own earth is the true king; the so
called monarch who }urneys In coach
OF in bomb, proof railway carriage is, in
truth, slave. The pressure of the free
foot on turf or road eyhilerates the soul
the magnetism of our mighty mother
flows into our nerVer and and nourishes
their vitality; our blood dances through
our veins and strengthens muscle and
organ. The whole atmosphere is our own;
it flows rythmically into our lungs and
unites us with tie sky. The horizon wooes
and stimulates the eyes; they become
bright and gain power and Judgment.
Nature instructs US at every step; her
beauty must ever remain unknown to him
who has not thus placed himself faoe to
face with her. Distant hills slowly draw
near and unfold to US their wonders of
color and form; winding valleys reveal
their hearts to our orderly seeking. The
trees are companions.

Raising Strawberries.

Here is new wrinkle in raising straw
berries which an exchange has. One may
cover bit Of earth with boards, and yet
raise Strawberries on this covered soil.
Bore or cut holes in the boards and plant
Strawberries in them. The boards will act
as mulch to retain moisture and smother
weeds, and if the soil is rich the planter
can expect liberal crop on small space.
The plan is well adapted to small areas of
lane near a house.

Pnre Gutter

There IS law again adulterating
milk even with pure, clean water, and IL
may become necC ss8ry 10 enact Que against
aoultetatlng but'er Pure butter made
from well 1ipened CT cam. and worked after
the old fashioned methods, used to contain
about II or IL per cent. of water. Now
good butter is above to contain 20 per
c.nt. In part this is due to The process of
beginning the working Of the salt while
the butter is in the granular form. and in
part to the trusting Of washing to get out
the bpttermilk, and much lighter work
ing, which leaves in an amount of salt
water which would have quickly spoiled if
1t had been buttermilk. As butter is now
not often expected to be kept from Sep
TENDER until June, it will pass with much
less working and may be better for it.
When 70 or Is pounds of butter fat can
be mixed with water and salt enough to
make LOO pounds of butter, il is a profit
10 the farmer or to the creamery. But
there are customers who ohi9ct to it, and
would like butter that would have less
water In it.

a Bit of Landscape.
BY JAMES MANNING BRONSON.

Right cheerfully took my pleasant way
Along rural road, one summers day,
The landscape drinking in with gladstone eyes,
And marveHing with ever fresh surprise,
At natures wonder-wOrk, within my Yiew,-
The airy ocean infinite of blue,
The painted islands gaily floating there,
DissOlving ever, to reform more fair,
With foaming pillows rolling DER and DER,
In snowy surges to the tinted Shore
A sweeping valley clad in modest green,
Subdued in tone, yet picturesque in mien,
Thick studded DER with interlacing trees
In Clumps and clusters, undulatiDg seas
OF silver grasses and of yellow corn,
With here and there thicket's twisted thorn;
And in the distance, like Titan's shield,
The round lake glistened where the blue hill

THE ARTISTS MODEL.
German Student Who Knew When a
smile Was Permissible

An Indianapolis artist who has won
prestige In eastern art circles tells the fol-
lowing incident, which occurred in New
Yor6 studio of much celebrity: A large
class Of women and girls were sketchino
from semi nude model, a young Italian,
who was posed with his head thrown back
his arms Enthusiastically wreathed over his
head and his legs extended in some sort of
wild Bacchannalian caper. The Indian
apoils woman was sketching the models
shoulder when she observed that he was
smiling at her In very familiar manner
Somewhat disccncerted to discover that
she haG apparently made a conquest of
this guileIess child of Italia. she began to
sketch his knee, as more remote from the
artillery of his sentimental glances. In D
remote corner Of the room gigglinp arose
and size perceived that the smiles of the
tlrtatIous model were taking effect upon
some lively girls among the students
They subsidized shortly, but the young Ital-
ian still continued firing off smiling
glances IN every direction.
At about the center of the class was 2
German girl, serious to the core, absorbed
In her work and fierce in manner as a
female Bismarck. Every stroke she plant
Gu oh ueI edseI was decisive ana almost
combative. Suddenly she came under the
battery OF the Italians smiles, and with
out an instant's hesitation her voice rang
out like clarion.
I" 70 scEtop dat schmiling; We don't want
you to schmile. -
The figure of the model relaxed instan
taneousl y, and he stood straight as ali az
row before the class, the impersonation of
offended and wrathtul dignity. After an
appalling silence he remarked in the
sevarest tone
Ladies, | am here before you IMPLY as

n STRANGE ANIMAL.
The Queer Mistake Made by the Art Com
mittee.

Mis- Hannah Bascomb, a native and
resident of Huckleberry, was one of those
people who have firmly rooted objection
to displaying or even admitting their
Ignorance on any point whatsoever, says
the Youths Companion. She always held
that folks that had good sense could
gen lily make out t get along 'thout lettin'
on what they want quite as you might
downright cert'n about in matters that
they hadn t took no special count of. "
This belief OF Miss Bascomb'S OCCASION
ally involved her in difficulties, aud often
led her TO make amusing mistakes, but, as
she was unhapply unconscious of this
latter fact, 1t did not IN the least disturb
her theory or her peace of mind.
At one time she was making q visit to
her niece, and took the aiece's little eight
yea r-old daughter to the Art Museum on
tour Of inspection.
Her comments and criticisms on The
various works of art displayed there had
at least the merit of originality. At Iast
she stopped before the sculptured figure of

ana not above thirty years of age, may be

Nobody knows of the work il makes

Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
Nobody knows-but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes,

Nobody panied by naughty blows,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepIess care
Bestowed on baby brother;
Nobody knows of the tender prayer,

Nobody knows of the lessons taught
OF loving one another:
Nobody knows of the patience sought,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears
Lest dariings may not weather
The storm of life in after years,
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father
For the sweetest gift-a mothers love;
Nobody Can-bUt mother.
