According to an English writer ''the
typical woman of the United States
today is a mental anarchist" TIE
reasons for this are several. She is a
composite of all the races of earth, if
not in blood in points of view. She
is a product of experimental democ-
racy, and, like her country, blindly
but fiercely wing for an ideal. She

A great cOmmotlou seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not
new departure by any means, as the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad company and
its connections have been operating
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz:
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through SER
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout. A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision of a special excur-
sion agent, whose duty it is TO see that
passengers are given every comfort and
attention.
For further information, apply TO any
agent or to B. F. Nevins, general agent,

The simplest and probably the most
 efficacious method of killing mosquitoes is to pour kerosene oil on the surface of the ponds where the larvae are develop ing. A very small quantity is sufficient to disturb their breathing apparatus and they very soon drown. This remedy has been tried to some extent in the Catskill mountain region, where the presence of mosquitoes has done serious harm to the summer hotels, and it has proved success. full. The smudge of smoke has been found the best things by campers to rid them of the pest, though this Is not al. ways sure. Fishermen and those frequ. enting swamps have found that very useful way is to cover the face and hands with aromatic ointments, one of the best being made out of mutton tallow mixed with camphor and oil of pennyroyal. The simple mixture of tar and pennyroyal if also advantageous to those who are fond of tar bathing. Nature has provided some enemies to the insects in the shape of devils alarming needles, or dragon flies

secondary color, connecting in with another color. Half an hour quickly passes while ''The ball comes round to meet us." We must not be too lengthy lest we weary the reader, but we must not forget to say that everything made by the little children is kept as gift of love for "dear mamma" or "auntie," or grandmother. " It is very pretty sight to see these little darlings with faces radiant with genuine happiness, taking home their, (to them, ) wonderful works of art, their first lesson of love and generosity.
 We have often heard the remark from a mother, "I am sorry my child could not attend kindergarten school, but hope and trust my grandchildren may"
 The system is not merely to amuse, but to truly develop every dormant faculty in every direction, and while in the class to be doing something every moment to awak. en the mind to something new. No one can fully understand or appreciate this system, without visiting the school many times and seeing for himself the beauty o1 the theory and happy adaptions of its methods.
 Every energy is awakened by pleasant object lessons each day; they get know ledge of seeds and plants, which is im- parted by a pleasant walk, in getting perhaps seeds of maple trees, which are planted in pots and are actually growing before them. They are told of the bulbs before they are planted, and then how eagerly they watch their growth day by day.
 The pretty ferns grace the windows, the aquarium, where the little minnoW makes his home, and besides all these, pictures of every kind decorate the walls for instruction as well as pleasure.
 Almost every day are brought appropriate specimens for object reading lessons. Fo1 instance birds nest, while each will tell all he knows about it, where 1t was found and how it was made, why it was so softly lined with such care, and how hard the little birds worked to do it. One of the older ones will write the most of this con- versation upon the board, then it is read by each one of the class, while all are eager listeners and will not forget what they have been taught, for this reason, they have seen it all.
 Little children like to know what there is in this world around them, and if they can see what they are studying about, il is wiser plan than talking about it. | To be sure, we cannot see everything we talk and read about. We are pleased to read description of Niagara Falls, bu if we can see the magnificent sight ane hear it's thunderous roar we feel that 1t i much more satisfactory than to read O talk about it.
 \ So these methods of Froebel we conclud are the best to bring out all there is in child, both mentally, morally and physic ally, and at the age of six or seven, he will be in every respect fitted to enter schoo of some higher grade (but none of nor importance), full of enthusiasm, energy and love for the noble work in life, that i before him, begun from so pure and per feet foundation as the "Children's Para disc" SEE.
