Girls That Are Wanted.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart 20 the lips,
Pure - the lily Is white and pure
From Its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That father and brothers can trust 70
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone
And pleasant when nobody sees,
Kind and sweet to their own folks,
Ready and anxious 10 please:
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what 20 do and say,
That drive with smile and soft word
The care Of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls with hearhs
They are wanted for mothers and wives,
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl
There are few who can understand,
But oh. for the wise, loving, home girls
There's constant and steady demand.

The Art Of studying.

A girl who entered the manual train
ing school two months ago complains OF
the lessons she has to learn-so many
pages of one study and so many of an
other. just think of it'll The actual num-
Der certainly appeared formidable, but
an investigation would no doubt prove
that what she really had to learn was a
lesson of fair length. The secret OF study
in the higher branches is to read the
pages assigned slowly and carefully,
making mental note of-or marking II
you dare not trust your memory-those
parts which you feel need to be learned
by heart. You will be astonished at the
shortness of the list One reading Will
fix the incidents of ten pages OF history
we'll in mind The dates and names
would not fill half page. The same is
true of spelling Suppose your teacher
gives you two or three pages from
"Evangeline" or history or geography.
The way to learn the lesson is to select
the words which have silent or double
letters. those involving eli or lie. Learn
that list and you will have accomplished
what your teacher intended you to do.

Indian Children.

Although Indian children have their
games and good times as well as their
more civilized brothers and sisters, they
also have much hard work to do and are
taught to help their poor tired mothers
almost as soon as they learn to walk.
One of the principal duties of Indian
children is that of supplying their camp
or village with water. These camps are
ALWAYS near "a river or stream, for of
course wandering tribes of Indians can
not have wells or cisterns, and from the
river the children must carry up to the
lodges all the water used in cooking.
In this work they call to their aid
their playmates, the dogs, always plen-
tiful in Indian villages. To the collars
of the dogs are fastened two long, light
poles, one on each side, that drag on the
ground some distance behind them On
these poles, about half way to the
ground, is fixed the kettle or earthen jar
that is to be filed with water, and then
the dogs are driven down to the river.
Some of the larger boys have ponies,
TO which they attach heavier poles in
the same way that the light ones are
fastened TO the dogs, and on which they
can carry as much as barrel of water
/ at time.
At the river side tho children have
great fun while filling their various jars
and kettles. They duck and splash each
other, run. scream, laugh and often for

them that they are neglecting their duty
