BA1ARD WONDER. he has been mak- Ing speeches that amaze the English. He said for instance, at the Cambridge banquet, in March. that he wondered the statue of Liberty in New York did not descend from it's pedestal and weep. On another occasion he remarked that there is more real liberty in England than there is in the United States. Mir. Bayard has greatly angered the Eng lish labor element by his denunciatien of socialism and land nationalsm. Al- together he has established peculiar record for himself, but he is admitted to be very scholarly and courtly man.
 He is invited to the best houses in England, and his favor is fiercely con tended for by Americans in London, who are eager for his influence in ob- taining admission to exclusive circles.

Besides he had only little while before come over from Ireland where he probably did not get meat more than once a week. Poor people over there generally live on potatoes, or "spuds'' as they call them, milk, butter and eggs. This is good stuff to make you fat, but it doesn't give either strength, wind or endurance. Animals that eat meat. like lions and tigers, are far stronger and pluckier than those that eat hay. oats and such fodder. We'll. Peter gets
 E three square meals day now, with sirloins, chops or porterhouses at every one of them. Besides, he is mighty clever boxer now, and veteran in ring, tactics. Anybody who goes up against him for good thing under the idea that he will quit will get badly left. I think Peter now can whip any of them. He will have plenty of fight on his hands, anyhow, for the next year, as Ghoynsd and Slavin are already after him, and Goddard is sure to be, and perhaps Fitzsimmons. If Fitz cant get on with Corbett think he will try for Maher, and Peter will quickly oblige him. Maher will probably tackle God dard, Ghoynsld or Slavin in the order named, if he doesn't catch Fitz..

practical, BeneyOience.

The appeal of the Board of Associated
Charities. in another column. to owners
! of vacant lots for permission and
| means to put these idle pieces of land to
good use in sustaining Scranton's un-
| employed men and women should re-
ceive an immediate response. All that
is asked is that persons who own un-
| occupied land in or near the city will
permit the board to place men and wo-
| that others will contribute funds to sup
ply seeds and implements. those who
do the tilling to keep the fruits of their
own industry. In this simple and mex
pensive manner. hundreds of families
may be supplied with food. both during
the summer. and probably throughout
next winter. The plan has been tried
with entire success in New York city,
Detroit and other large cities. and
ought to be even more successful here,
where so large a percentage of the real
estate of Scranton is at present lying
fallow at time when many persons are
without work or food.
1t is to be hoped that the large cor
porations will take the initiative in re-
spending to this appeal. They will
lose nothing by permitting the large
areas of idle land owned by them in the
city to be used in this humane manner;
on the contrary. they will gain materi-
ally in good will and in popular respect.
If these corporations will promptly sig
nifty their assent, no doubt many in
dividual lot-owners will follow suit;
and if the money response of the chari
table public shall suffice to furnish the
requisite seeds and implements, only
few days need intervene before hun
dreds of deserving persons now out of
employment may be engaged in profit
able and honorable labor in their own
support. 1t can readily be seen that
the actual amount of cash required to
put this plan into operation would be
exceedingly small in comparison with
the beneficent results to be obtained.
But whatever shall be done will have
to be done at once. Seed time will soon
be over. and with its conclusion will
vanish the present happy possibility.
Let the goodness of this good city
make this one fine effort without de-
lay. 1t is an occasion where he who
shall give promptly will multiply the
value of his gift tenfold.

Our Free Kindergartens.


The paper of Miss Katherine II.
Clark. the Kindergarten engaged as
principal in our free kindergarten
schools for next year, places the spirit
and rationale of this movement in
telligently before the people of this
vicinity. The object of this mode of in
struction is to give the right bend to
the infantile mind At the earliest
growth. The development of the pow
ers of observation, ingenuity and re-
Election, combined with moral and
physical growth at the most impress
sionable age, is the chief aim.
1t is a mooted question whether all
our knowledge does not come to us
through the senses. Whether this be
so or not, after we have eliminated all
that does come in this way whether
moral, spiritual or intellectual, We will
find the residuum of underived knowl-
edge very small. 1t was said Of the
great johnson that he would see more
in crossing a street of london than
most travellers in going around the
world. 1t is to this perceptive and often
long latent power of the child that
kindergartens appeal with happiest re-
suits. The kindness of God-given ma
ture is made to enwrap the child rs with
the presence of God in His own works.
And strange as 1t may appear, it
awakens the best and most hopeful
mental activity of the child, issuing in
moral, spiritual and intellectual adj
vancement which lifts the child at once
to a high plane, and forces it to sing
as the birds do, spontaneous and glad
songs of gratitude for its own being.
The mode and detail of the instruc-
tion is very simple, but it is very cap
tivating; it is also profound as it is
simple, for it seizes hold OF the child
as child and educes teducates) it fully,
roundly and effectually. Such thoughts
as these must have been elected in
the head of every thinking person pres
ent at the annual meeting Of the Free
kindergarten association Monday
night. 1t is an association worthy of
all praise, and the ladies who are giving
it their enthusiasm of labor are worthy
of spontaneous and liberal support. No
organization. can be more cosmopolitan,
for it embraces all classes, creeds and
conditions, and lays the foundation for
the best development of the child to
whatever department Of humanity it
may belong.
