All that the defenders of Judge Min
ers decision in the Hamer case seem
to find TO say that touches the ques-
ton is. that he delivered it in haste
ana that if he had had more time he
would have done better. Now what
excuse is that for such mistakes in
a judicial decision? Is it not virtual
admission that the exceptions taken to
it were well founded2 And they must
remember that the question before the
Judge was not how much was a fair
compensation for work performed, but
what was the law in relation to the
matter? Nobody that we know Of has
attempted to maintain that the Col
lector did not charge more than was
enough to pay for the service rendered.
He may or may not have done that.
But was he entitled under the law
70 what he claimed2 That is the point
to which the Judge ought TO have con-
hned his opinion.

Girls and Exercise.

In reply to a question as to how much
walking should be undertaken daily, DR..
Albert Westland, a recognized authority,
says that it is impossible to give an an
swer that win apply 10 all persons. Much
depends upon temperament, strength and
nervous energy as well as upon the cir
cumstances under which the exercise is
taken. 1t is matter Of daily observation
that one can walk much farther with less
fatigue If one has a pleasant companion
or a special object in view. It may be
said that most girls and women would be
better for walking three or four miles
day, while some are able to enjoy and be
benefited by a daily walk of six or eight
miles. but the latter number is compare
lively small in this country. If no spe-
cial motive for walking exists. it is Of
ten well to invent one. Dealing with
stores at some distance or paying frequent
visits to friends who do not live near at
hand may serve the same purpose. The
main point is to avoid what is called TAX
ing constitutional a proceeding which
is unlikely to promote health.

Women in Gardening.

Gardening Is destined to become a part
Of the general education of women. It's
value In the kindergarten system cannot
be Overestimated. Already in many kim
dergartens towering plants are kept in
the school-room, and the children are
laugh to properly care for them. The re
suit Of this innovation is said to be
highly satisfactory, since the work de-
velops traits and talents not acquired by
other means.
Not only for kindergarten teachers is
a knowledge Of gardening valuable, but
also for instructors of the higher grades
Recently the thorough understanding
and proper care of the human body has
become a branch Of education Of the ut
most Importance. The serious and often
fatal results of ignorance in this direc-
ton have been too openly manifest, so
physiology has been coupled with ele-
mentary hygiene in our public schools.
Just so also the plant culture is des-
tined to become q part of botany, as 1t
is now taught. Inasmuch as entomology
may encourage cruelty unless carefully
guided, so also botany may encourage
ruthlessness unless coupled with careful
training in the care of plants and flow

Concerning Housework.

PEELED TO desert the arena OF their homes
and their own natural duties, for, as these

give themselves, their time and energies

dren?
Lately there has been a great deal Of
fretful, impatient, womanly writing about
the degrading. depressing influence Of
household work. and II has ben urged
that il is better for wives and mothers to
write or sew or do any kind of mental
work In order TO make money to relieve
themselves OF the duties Of cooking and
nursing. Women who have this idea
ought never TO have become wives, and
they ought never. never to have be-
come mothers. for if there is any loftier
work than making homes lovely and
sweet and restful, or any holier work
than nursing and training her own little
children, no woman will find II in writing

Sometimes an effective, characteristic
bit Of writing catches the editors quick
eye, and the story is accepted. IT may
not be printed for a month, perhaps
longer, and in the meantime the blue
pencil and the scissors have been at
work, and the mangled remains OF the
story every article is a story on a paper,
with a title under which she scarcely
recognizes it, appears off in the corner
Of some inside page and brings her just
half she expected. OF course. if she has
a name, matters are very different. Her
work is gladly read, sought for, indeed,
but the name is not made in day.

try to fascinate the editor and is always

that she will gradually slip into place

to the membrane of the muscles around
the eyes which contains water. BY cry

not equal to the exhaust, causing a dry

A passive expression of countenance
should be cultivated. People who call

Gentle massage is an excellent thing.
