Hobbies for Children.

Where mothers and fathers seem to
lose hold of their children is in a lack
Of interest in their amusements. Boys
and girls who have reached the age of
twelve or Whereabouts want some other
occupation besides going to school and
romping about after school hours. 1t
is just at this age that the children
need interesting in some hobby. If
they do not take up the hobby when
they are young there is very little prob
ability that they will have time to do
in after years. The need of the grown
up folks of the present day is more
time.
Each days work seems to swallow
up all ones energy until there is hard
ly any time for Improvement of any
sort. 1t is because men and women
do not know how to use up profitably
the few spare minutes they may have
in the day that we have so many SLOW
enly, gossiping wives, drunken hus-
bands and neglected children. The
boys and girls should be encouraged to
interest themselves in work of some
kind. either in manual labor. such as
carpentry, wood carving or metal
work, in work for those poorer or
weaker than themselves, or else in
some special branch Of study, such as
botany. chemistry, cookery or dairy
work. Not only will some such hobby
serve to occupy what would otherwise
be wasted hours, but in after years it
might probably be source of income.

SISTERS OF BERNARDrNEs DIGGING GRAVES.

their only diet was bread and water
the entrance fee was not exorbitant.
The primitive cabins of the Bernard
ines yet exist and are yet occupied, al
though a more imposing edlfice has
grown up around them.
AT every few steps in the convent
hangs some inscription in huge black
letters which contains the word
Death" 1t is impossible to forget for
one moment ones inevitable destiny
"Are you prepared? This hour may be
your last Reflect on death" Is a sam
pie of the inscriptions. Another one
that noticed was to this effect: THAT
you may not sin because you have
beautiful hair, cut it off. Beautiful
eyes and a beautiful face have caused
much sin. Detest them, and think
about Death"
The nuns cemetery is within the
convent enclosures and is the favorite
resort of the Bernardines. Here they
promenade, praying for the dead, and
at 4 o'clock every day each one digs u
shovelful of earth from her own grave.
AS the Bernardines are vowed never to
speak word, the Servants of Mary at
tend to all of their necessities for them.

Two Beautiful Gowns.

A dinner gown of mauve satin has a
skirt of luxeuil lace over the front
and back are panels of the satin en-
broidered with figures of purple panne,
emphasized with gold beads. The cor
sage is of the embroidered satin. held
by corselet of white lace. The mitt
sleeves are of purple, figures on mauve,
mousseline de sole being substituted
for the satin. One shoulder strap is
Of purple velvet fastened to the cor
sage by n butterfly of gold beads and
amethysts; bows of purple and mauve
tulle held by these butterflies cross the
other shoulder. With it is worn in the
hair gold and amethyst butterfly
holding a short purple and mauve
feather.
A pretty gown for the ball room has
a tunic Of white lace, with the edge
embroidered in velvet roses. This is
slightly draped over skirt of white
satin, with edge finished with line of
sable. On the corsage is a packet corse-
let of lace with embroidered edge. The
decolletage is finished with ruffies of
white tulle, and strings of artificial
roses make the shoulder straps.

house more distinguished persons than
any other order on the continent of Eu-
rope. There are mary princesses and
countesses among them, many of the
royal blood. Indeed it is believed
nearly all are of high degree.
The convent migrated nearly hun
dred years ago. 1t was started by sew
eral distinguished ladies, who, scorn-
ing the world and all of its pomps,
withdrew to the solitude Of the hills.
With their own hands they built few
cabins, wherein the only furnishings
were a board and straw pillow for
each to sleep on, and the only decora-
tons skulls and crossbones.
The fame of these holy women
spreading throughout the country, ap-
plications to join them were numerous,
so that in time quite little group of
cabins was visible on the hillside.
Each person entering was required to
have enough Of fortune to support
herself in this fashion for the rest Of
her days, for no bread-winning was al
lowed among the Bernardines. They
were there to mediate, to pray, to
adore and to glorify God, and to atone
in some measure by excessive NORTH
cation for the sins of the world. AS

Curious Little Rodents Found in the
Southern "Piney Woods"

Curious Little Rodents Found in the
Southern "Piney Woods"
In many places in the extreme South.
ern States, especially in what are 10.
cally known as the ''piney woods" one
Of the most notable features are the
constantly recurring mounds of yellow
sand which everywhere dot and. 1t must
be confessed, disfigure the monotonous
landscape. says Popular Science Month
ly. These piles of earth are usually
nearly circular In form, fairly symmet-
rical In contour, from six inches to two
feet In diameter and, save where they
have been beaten down by rain or
winds or the trampling of cattle, about
half as high as they are broad. Often
these sand heaps are pretty evenly dis.
tributed, sometimes so thickly as to
cover. at least one-fourth of the soil sur
face. If you ask a native the cause of
this singular phenomenon, which you
will perhaps at first be disposed to con-
slider a kind Of arenaceous eruption
which has somehow broken out on the
face of nature, your informant will
sententiously reply "Salamanders!'
All this Disagreement Is, indeed, the
work Of curious little rodent, popu-
larly so named and about the size and
color Of an ordinary rat. He is never
seen above ground IL he can possibly
help 1t. He digs innumerable branch
ing underground tunnels at depths va
rying from one to six feet, and these
mouncs Of sand are simply the dump
heads which. In his engineering oper-
atoms, he finds IL necessary TO make.
After carrying the excavated earth
to the surface this cautious little miner
takes the greatest pains to cover up
his tracks. No opening into his burrow
Is left How he manages to so care
fully smooth over his little sand mound
and then literally pull the hole In after
him." II ~ yet unexplained.

Some Novel Statistics.

A deliver into statistics has discovered
the awful probability that in the year
of grace 1898 the English-speaking peo-
pies of the earth produced no less than
eighty novels day throughout the
months. not excepting Sundays and
holidays. His conclusions, says Liter
ature, are not based upon his expe-
rience as a reader, but on the surer ba-
sis of expert calculation. Five new
novels day were actually published in
Great Britain, and three per diem in
the United States-a total of eight
daily for the new Brotherhood. And
as only one novel In ten that are writ
ten is published, ergo 90, 200 were pro-
duced.
We are not aware that these figures
have been shown to Sir Waltey Eesant,
but IL they come to his notice ~ is not
impossible to hope that he may relent
somewhat in his stony attitude toward
the rapacious publisher. When he re-
allies that the publishers In rejecting
26220 novels have deprived their cof-
fers of the gold to be taken from 1922
would have netted many dollars, and
have at the same time spared the pub
lie much in the way OF reading that
might have proved trial-to say
naught OF the restriction Of the compe-
tition between the published-surely
the cookies of his outraged heart must
warm toward those whom he has hith-
erto unreservedly condemned.

Author Of Annie Laurie"

A quaint, venerable lady, who might
to all appearances, have just stepped
out OF Goldsmith comedy or Gains
borough picture, died the other day in
the person of Lady John Scott Spottis-
woode, the composer of annie Laurie"
and other familiar melodies. She was
"a years of age, and aunt Of the Duke
Of Buccleugh, and closely related to
the late General Wauchope.
She had very strong character, and
was a great upholder of old manners
and customs. When travelling she
rode in a carriage, always had posi-
lions, and encouraged the observance of
old customs. She was liberal bene-
factor of the poor and maintained n
meal mill as a relic of old times, and
she preferred thatch on roofs and peat
for fires. She was an indefatigable
collector of antiquities.
