The Durham Sun makes some
wise observations in the following ):
Every man, every woman, every
child has some talent, some power,
some opportunity Of getting good
and dong good. Each day offers
some occasion for using this tai
ent. AS we use it, it gradually
increases, improves, becomes ma
tive to the character. AS we neg
lect it, it dwindles, withers and
disappears. This is the stern but
benign law by which we live. This
makes character real and endu-
ring; this makes progress possible;
this turns men into angels. and
virtue into goodness.

This is total area double that
OF all Europe. The Spanish pos
sessions in the United States were
of three classes-Louisiana Terri
tory, New Spain and the Floridas.
Louisiana Territory, possessed
by the French for nearly a CEN
tury, was, in 1853, coded to Spain,
and held by the latter until 1900.
when she receded it to France. In
loO3, it was purchased by the
United States. 1t comprised all
the States west of the Mississippi,
except those acquired from Mexico
and the republic of Texas.
New Spain comprised Mexico
and the acquisitions from Mexico
just mentioned, viz: California,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mex
leo, Texas, Indian Territory, Ok
lahoma and most of Colorado. 1t
was under Spanish rule for Just
200 years, or from 1921, the date
OF the conquest of Mexico by Cor
tez, until 1921, when Mexico be-
came an independent republic. 1t
was known as the Kingdom of New
Spain, and was governed by Vice
roys. 1t is truly marvellous
country, as shown in it's yield of
precious metals. Its total product
of gold and silver from 1921 to
1895, inclusive, has been over &c.
000,000,0O
Add to this enormous sum the
product of gold and silver in Peru
and other parts of South and Cen
trail America, and one can get
some idea of the Importance of
the country SO long ruled by Spain.
But all this is a matter of the
past, for today Spain has no re-
naming foothold upon the Ameri-
can continent, 4and none in the
surrounding islands, except Cuba
and Porto Rico.
Out of the territory she pos
sessed in 1900, the United States
has more than double it's area
and eighteen sister republics have
been created, viz: Mexico, five
in Central America, ten in South
America and two in the West In
dies.
1t is safe to predict that two
more will soon be added to the list.
America for American republics
is manifest destiny.

The prospective independence
of Cuba suggests a contrast be-
tween the colossal possessions of
Spain in America at the beginning
OF the present century and the
small area remaining under her
rule.
In 1900 Spain possessed over
two-thirds of the present area of
the United States, all Mexico and
Central America, and all of South
America except Brazil and the
Gplanas; also the more important
OF the West India islands. Her
American possessions in square

THE CHILD'S GARDEN.

A little garden of its very own, where
1t may plant and dig and pull weeds
up and potter aboutNto its hearts con-
tent, is very great boon to a child.
For children love to work, and like to
make play of their work, and worn OF
their play: they yearn ror activity;
they desire to possess something which
they may do with as they please.
Usually the home garden is not as at
tractive to little child as 1t might be,
because there are too many don'ts and
thou shalt nots about it. Little
fingers must not break off the flowers,
little feet must not trample the turf,
little playmates must stay away, for
their games and romplns may do mis-
chief. In the country there are always
the fields overlooking with daisies and
clover, and the lanes where one may
wander along looking up through green
branches to the sky; but city child
has only a back yard with narrow
flower borders around a square plot of
velvet-green grass, a limited realm in
deed.
Even here, however, the sensible
mother may contrive a little garden
for the children. or a small bed for
each child, where seeds may be sown,
and such homely favorites as petunias,
four-o' clocks, lady 's-slippers and pan
sizes grow without much care. A few
hardy pinks, or the old-fashioned rib
bon grass, yerbena lily, larkspur,
perhaps monthly rose, a few sweet
pease and the child's sense of beauty
will be cultivated, and he will nave
what we all want most, when we think
about it--howers to give away 1t is
so lovely to have a flower from a
child's own garden for papa's button
hole, for mammals plate at the break
fast table, for the dear friend who is
going Oh a journey and would like
something sweet to look at in the cars.
And there may be flower mission,
and the child will be glad to contribute
from his garden for the pleasure of
sick people burning up in hospitals,
burning with fever, tossing in pain; or
of blind people too old and too wretch
ed to enjoy much more in this world,
but cheered up by a flower; or of little
children who live in crowded tene-
ments and never have much fun, and
are made glad when flowers come into
their lives.
A part of every childs training
should be to give pleasure systematic
ally to others, and this is best done by
teaching little people to give away
something which they prize, not on the
impulse of needless prodgality, but
because every one is responsible for
the happiness or misery of every one
else; and we are all bound in one bun
die, and only by giving conscientiously
and according to rule do we ever learn
to be generous and kind and consider
ate of some one or something beyond
ourselves. The child's garden may
train him to spontaneous kindness as
hardly anything else which he owns
can do.-Harpers Bazaar.
