with whom he cast his lot. and we'll did

in the effemina+e sense of that phrase. But
why may not a boy learn that he is not
licensed to drop his linen, literature and be-
longings all over, as best suits the slack hand

tention to the small cares of tidiness will not
for that teaching, make a girl of him"
She will, indeed. make better man of him,
and perhaps give him a turn for thoughtful
ness that may be an efficient trait Yin bust
ness and professional life. At any rate, a
recognition of the part boy should play in
good housekeeping will do more to ease the
overburdened wife and mother. and add
comfort to the home, than all the patent de-
vices that have been invented and written
about for the last decade.

their privileges become at certain period
OF life, one half the family resident in some
house, newly furnished, and full of the first
important delight of housekeeping. Meet
such boy during the early months of this
experience and he will assure you that we
are housekeeping and urge you to come and
see how cozy and pleasant it all is. Also, if
you go, he will show you the conveniences
and beauty of it all, with that proud air of
proprietorship (which we are mistaken in
supposing is a weakness peculiar to the new
wife only.
Later he may be less demonstrative, but
in many instances he will never get over

While experimental rice growing in
this section has been successful as to the
yield, in many instances the growers
have fatally blundered in harvesting too
early Many of them cut the grain in
the milk stage, just as it filed out, and
the consequence is it moulded in the
barn making it almost impossible to hull
it without cracking the grains very
badly. Besides, rice so prematurely
harvested shrivelled greatly and turned
black. The result, in this respect has
been very unsatisfactory. 1t has, how
ever, been clearly demonstrated that it
can be produced here in paying guam
titles, and the mistakes in harvesting
this year will be avoided in the future.

"a TRUE sToRY.)
OF manner shy, OF cleaning eye,
And dainty bill and feather,
With kindly word, mocking-bird
Was sent from balmy weather;
From oaks and pines, and em'rald vines.
And fowrets gently clinging;
From grassy leas Of orange-trees,
And comrades round him singing,
The chill and rime of Northern cline
Hung round him like tether:
He beat and pressed his wiry nest,
Andyearned for happy weather.
The weeks were long, he gave no song.
However wiled or hidden;
, Each iewelled note within his throat
Was but treasure hidden.
OF orange. blooms and rare perfumes,
And buds and leaves together,
With kind intent box was sent
From out the Southland weather:
'Gainst looks of rage, into the cage
A gentle finger pressed them;
BY rapture stirred. the m ocking bird
With cries of Joy caressed them.
Then came his song, as sweet and strong
AS on his native heather:
He trilled with ease the psalms and glees
That grace the loveliest weather.
None may indite what message bright
Those perfumed leaves were bringing;
We only say, that since that day.
Our exile-bird is singing!
