it was not true, as is generally sup

a PLEA FOR GIRLS.
why They should BE Urged to Take Part
In Outdoor Sports.

Why They should BE Urged to Take Fart
In Outdoor Sports.
So much depends upon the education
of girls that the mother who gives
serious thought to the matter will at
once recognize the Importance of care
fully supervising the daily life of her
young imprcssionablc daughter,
Muscle and nerve will not grow
strong if indoor amuscmcnts are the
rule. Embroidery and sewing are very
we'll in their way. but it is absolute
cruelty to compel n growing girl to sit
in chair for an hour or two and indus
triously apply the needle.
There is no reason why girls should
not take part in some of the outdoor
sports that give to their brothers such
robust constitutions.
Health, unless built on n solid foun.
fore, mothers should insist upon the
formation of habits that tend to
strengthen both nerve and muscle.
The reading of sensational literature
should be strictly forbidden. as it has a
tendency to make girls morbidly senti-
mental and self-conscious, and finally
renders them incapable of approaching
high-class reading matter.
1t is bad plan to check or repress a
girl continually. Health, vitality and
exuberancc of spirit go hand in hand.
Instead of trying to subdue nature of
this description. encourage walking,
running, horseback riding, lawn ten
mis-, hand ball, swimming and general
gymnastics, and the result will be a
healthful and well-balanced physical
development.-Prair Farmer.

Th. World Ia Washing Away.

An interesting ejaculation has re-
Gently been made public through one
of the many publications Of the French
Academy of Sciences. 1t is to the eff
feet that, taking into consideration
the wear and tear on the solid land
by ocean lashing, river erosion and
wind and weather, to say nothing of
probable volcanic action, the world
will, by the end of the year 100000,
be completely washed away, and the
ocean will roll over the present founda-
tions OF our great continents.

Ideat Chairs, Carrying Chairs, Pillows

Delights OF Convalescence-Some Con-

Some one-was it Tom Cringle?-said
that it was worth while going through

erly turned ont invalid's chair, such a
one as saw the other day, made ready
as surprise for one who had been suf-
fering many months, and had still a
weary time of convalescence ahead.
This chair is really all that the heart
could wish for. It's springs are of the
easiest and most approved French
make. In form il is not so remarkable,
perhaps, being a large, low and deep
armchair, with convenient footrest
concealed under the framework, which
pulls out and transforms the chair with
the addition of few more cushions
into fine, easy lounge, when ito lie

life.
But in conveniences and contrivances
IL excels yachts cabin. 1t is fitted
up with all manner of things which
ean add to the occupants comfort and
happiness. Every appliance is at hand
with scarcely the trouble of moving,
or what is worse still to an indepen-
dent spirit, weakened and nervous from

work or writing materials. 1t has

well-cushioned right arm. A smaA

An Instance at Evolution.

society of London most remarkable
instance OF evolution in the adaptation
of animal organisms To their environ
ments was demonstrated. Mr.. Teget'
meier said that the English rabbits
imported into Australia were gradually
changing their habits and becoming
tree climbers, the available food for
them there being largely the herk and
leaves of trees. In evidences OF his
assertions ne showed the feet Of some

DAINTY PINCusHioN.


A novel pincushion, and one which
may be fashioned at very little expense,
is made in the shape OF an egg. Cuttwc
pieces of cardboard any size you may
desire, cover neatly with ecru or white
linen, and after this Is done sew the
two pieces together. The decoration,
which consists of violets with their
leaves and buds, can be either en-
broidered or painted. If embroidered
the flowers should be worked in two
or three shades of the violet silks,
with tiny French knot of gold-col-
ored silk in the center of each. En-
broider the stems in varied shades OF
green, bronze and gray greens; these
are exceedingly pretty and harmoni-
Gus. The design will have to be en-
broidered before the linen IS put over
the cardboard. If painting is pre-
ferred it is more easily accomplished
after the pincushion is finished, as
there will then be no danger Of rub
bling the painting. Place pins all
round the edge of the egg, and finish
