Presents Every Day.

A little girl whose parents live not far
from the Central Hi h school started, a
few days ago, to begin acquiring an edu-
cation, says the Cleveland Leader. She
accompanied a girl friend who was to
introduce her to the teacher and see that
her beginning was made in the right
way.
At noon, when little Bessie returned
home, she hurried to her mamma and
said:
you must buy me present to take to
the teacher tomorrow morning"
"A present?' the fond mother asked
"Why do you waut 70 give your teacher
a present?'
because that's what all of the schol-
ars have to do every morning." the little
one replied. when school was took up
today the teacher called out every ones
name and all of them said they had
present, so when she come to me. just
held UP my hand and said:
81 didn't bring any present this time
but I'll toll my mamma about it, and
bring one tomorrow.

The Snowy Owl.

This beautiful owl makes its nest in
the far north, and in winter visits the
United States Arctic explorers have
found it as far north as they have ever
reached. They tell us that it nests on
the ground or on a messy rock for, while
most owls nest in trees, there are no
trees in these far northern regions-even
the shrubs are stunted.
They DO not construct nest or. at
most. only gather together a few leaves
and feathers. The eggs are eight or ten
IN number, about two and half inches in
length, and nearly two inches in the small
er diameter, and, like owls eggs, they are
of 4 dirty white.
The young birds are at first downy and
brownish-gray in color. 1t is not till af-
ter they have left the nest that they are
white marked with brown, like the old
birds.

are pounced upon and eaten, and also
small quadrupeds like mice and jennings,
which abound in the Arctic regions. It
also catches fish, watching silently by the
streams till fish comes near the sur
face, when the owl seizes it in its strong
claws.
The snowy owl is about two feet in
length from bill to tip of tail, and it's
wings when extended measure nearly five
feet from tip to tip. Most specimens are
white, marked with brown: but rarely is
one seen pure white. The plumage is ex-
tremely thick and warm: even the feet
are clad in feathers to the tips of the
claws.
Most writer's that have been to the Arc
tic regions say nothing about the voice of

A SANITARY Reform for the Mind.

It is easy to demonstrate that the men
tai health of the community is a much
higher concern than the physical health
and comfort. The analogy suggests the
extension of protection. Take such de-
tail as the teeth in the mouths of the
community. If there is needed license
for the practice of dentistry, why not
license for the practice of literature If
the teeth are ruined. science is capable of
furnishing new set and our blessed tar
if let's them in free Of duty, which is
more than it does for set of literature;
but there is no way of getting new set
of mind. if the mind is once demoralized
by reading year after year slovenly and
unframed writing. A person may have
the conceit that he is capable of cutting
his own eye-teeth, and SO he may be IN
matters of business. but no young mind
of a person who can read is safe against
the daily decentralization of bad writing.
If the intellect of the public is of equal
Importance with it's bodies, surely it is
worthy of equal protection. VIGOROUSLY
it does not get it in the matter of read
ing. l am not speaking now of vicious
literature: that comes under the head OF
morals. But men and women, boys and
girls, are daily making books and news
papers who do not know how to write,
who have neither skill. training. nor con-
science in the matter. They deiuge the
reading world with a false product which
does irreparable injury to the unprotected
public.-From the Editors Study" by

"DOn't Worry GI1rcles.

The latest innovation in church work
are the Don't Worry circles, and we
! cannot have too many of them. The
crush and rush and push of the American
people-men. women and children alike
is fast making us nothing but a bundle of
nerves.
Work strengthens: worry kills. No 9th
er people in the world worry as much as
! the American people, yet Americans have
less reason to worry than any others,
Whether it be the climate the environ
ment. the inherited tendency to speculate
and swap which seems to be natural to
the Iankee-whateyer the moving. oper-
atlnS cause may be, few escape it: and
these few are blessed and happy ones
among the great multitudes who swarm
IN the workshop and factory, the count
ing room and the Office
Just why the churches are starting in
thu. good work of organizing Don't Wor-
ry' circles is not clear, unless we jump at
e-eoncAsion that those who -:ttteffd the
churches worry more than any Others
They should have less reason to worry
than those whose footsteps lead away
from the sanctuary. But it is a good
work-none better-for the church. Amer
leans work very hard and accomplish
great results. They could work harder
and accomplish more if they worked with
out worry.
Let us have Don't Worry circles not
only in our churches. but in every bust
ness establshment-in fact, in every
home. And the new year is a good time
to begin the new movement.-Leslie's

the fur cloths which are quite as eff
fective in many cases as the real skin.
Take the Russian blouses, at present
the most fashionable style in winter
coats. These can be constructed of Per-
sian cloth, knotted boucle and rough
black goods of all kinds, with most ex-
celent effect.
A blouse of this kind is worn over the
dress as winter coat. It takes two
yards of Persian lamb cloth, or the same
quantity of the double width knotted or
astrakhan goods, and it is made upon the
blouse pattern with seams upon the side
only. 1t can, if desired, be cut with the
three middle seams in the back. which
give a close-ftting black effect. The
front bags little over the belt and is
finished with squares below it. Its belt
is a broad patent leather band. A jabot
of chiffon with a metal clasp at the
throat, hides the buttons and button
holes. Helen Grey-Page.

not but convince the advocates Of recognition Of
Independence first and Intervention to secure
American ends afterward Of the dangers Of sub
ordnating this country's interests to those OF
the Junta. of trusting in advance the settle

The feeling in favor OF the policy OF interven-

the question Of recognition. Is undoubtedly
strengthening in both branches. and few
more utterances like Mr.. Rubens's will serve
to rally behind 1t an almost unanimous sup

1t is understood also that the main purpose
OF this concerted action Is t. defer the war
crisis for at least few days. during which time
more mature action may be- shaped. THIS re-
