Poor Joan Of Arc, even in her statues, seems
destined never to attain dignifed repcse. The
fine work of II Fremiet, which found q site
some few weeks ago in the Place des Pyramids

The Beech Hedge,
fr-o, ihs New yort rr;,,,,o ,

(From the New York Tribune
The tourist in Scotland, as his brothers else
where, with his hurry and scurry, forever in
haste to sec everything in a few days too often
passes By the smaIier objects of interest," and
thus really accomplishes little Of his vast under

4 Noble Charity,

There is a summer institution in Boston
which deserves the attention OF philan-
thropists in other parts of the country
II is a floating nursery. Every year
through the efforts Of charitable people
boats are equipped for the purpose OF CIV
ing poverty stricken mothers a chance tc
take their babies for a sail down the bay
1t is probable that many lives are saved
during the summer by this simple plan
At any rate the originator Of the scheme
has added an immense amount to the sum
of human happiness.
Well-to-do people in every large city are
now preparing for their yearly outings in
the country. and in many cases the trip is
undertaken principally for the sake of their
young. Nobody can deny that the aver
age town Is a very bad place for the rear
ing of children. The lack of freedom and
fresh air. the constant noise. the impos-
sibility OF becoming familiar with the
sights and sounds of nature, all initiate
against the natural and wholesome devel-
opment of the child. In summer. when
the heat makes indoor life unpleasant. the
adult may lounge on verandas, but the
childs restless activity demands some
wider range. and there is nothing for him
but brick sidewalk or a tiny strip of
grass. In the country he can range the
woods or explore the garden or the orch
ard Hence the summer exodus.
But for every family which is able to
afford this outing there are many who
cannot even afford a fve-cent car-rida into
the suburbs. 1t is for the children of
these families that Boston has established
her floating nursery. Thus there is a
chance. at least, that the tired woman,
penned up in little tenement room, with
two or three fretful. half-sick little ones,
Eiay escape with them from her prison to
the life e-giving atmosphere of the sea.
