Athletic contests For Women.

Physical training aims to enable
woman to meet conditions and emer-
gencies that formerly filled woman
with nervous timidity that can hard
ly be said to have been marked by
:womanly dignity or grace. If, for ex-
ample, there is an obstruction in the
road, physical training enables a wom-
an to get over it easily and makes it
unnecessary for her to wait for as
sistance. In case Of fire, physical
training makes it safer for such q
woman to be lowered by a rope to the
ground if that should be necessary.
Physical development, in other words,
takes away from woman no grace of
manner no natural dignity or reserve,
but fits her for physical tasks and
emergencies for which she could be
fitted in no other way.
Athletic contests are perhaps as in
evitable as any other kind of con-
tests. They are stimulating and
strengthening, and the spirit of sport
which necessarily enters into them
may express itself in somewhat siren
uous movements and tones, but there
is no reason to believe that these con-
tests, entered into as part of scheme
of physical training and conducted
with the decorum that ought to char
acterize every educational exercise,
have an injurious effect on the man
ners of the contestants / should be
be very sorry to believe that such an
effect is produced. My own opinion is
that whatever natural superabundance
Of energy a growing girl may have
could not be expended in any more
healthful and profitable way than il
properly directed gymnastic work OF

An obieet Lesson Coz 1Iothers.

On one of the trains entering New
York the other day a woman afforded
her fellow-passengers an unconscious
but powerful object lesson, says Har-
per's Bazaar. With the woman was
little girl, about six years old. The
day was warm, and through the open
windows the dust drifted in a fine
gray cloud. Every passenger was
exceedingly uncomfortable, but each
forgot his discomfort in the spectacle
of that suffering child.
The mother began operations by
seating her little daughter beside her
with a thump that made the infants
teeth rattle Then. at intervals of oEe
or two minutes during the weary jour
ney she paid the child these maternal
attentions: She took off her hat; she
smoothed he, hair; she put the hat on
again; she removed the child's little
jacket, and put it on again; she
st-aightened her collar; she wiped her
face with her handkerchief; she re-
moved an imaginary cinder from her
eye; she smoothed her hair again; sac

preparation for bed the fresh manure
and long litter are collected from sta
bles and draw together to the location
of the bed, where it is placed in a con-
zeal pile. AS the manure is thus
thrown together it is packed down by
treading on it, the treading being re-
peated as the bed is raised a few
inches at a time, until the pile is tin
ished off to point at the top.
After a few days it may be noticed
that the pile is heating by seeing steam
rise from it, 1t is then customary
to handle over the manure shaking it
out and again making it into pile and
tramping it down as before. In two
or three days the signs of heating win
again be evident, and it is then ready
to be made into bed The bed should
be made large enough to extend at
least a foot outside of the frame at
the sides and ends In throwing the
manure into shape as the pile rises in
height every few inches it should be
beaten down with the back Of the
fork so that the material will be of uni
form density. The bed should be two
feet or two and one-half feet in depth.
The deeper it is the steadier and long
er continued will be the heat.
When the bed is finished evenly on
top the frame can be set on and COW
cred with the sashes. In few days
a strong heat will rise, and when this
abates somewhat, so that the Their

Gates only eighty-dve or ninety de-
grees, a layer of rich, mellow soil that
has been previously prepared should
be placed in the frame and spread
\ evenly over the bed to a depth of
] about six inches.
The bed is now ready for use and
seed sowing in it can commence. In
the management of a hotbed constant
reference must be made to a shaded
thermometer kept inside, and air mus
be given sufficiently to keep the TEN
perature down to about seventy de
grees.

TOWN BOYS THE FARMERS. 4"

Tar Less Quick and Observant Than the
Country Children.
Principal Thomas w. ,Boyce, Of the
First District school, is of the belief
that city children are the real farm
ers," in the matter of observation.
The country cousin has long been
scoffed at for his open-mouthed Won
der at what to his city-bred play
mates are objects of everyday knowl-
edge, and plenty have been the jokes
sprung at the expense of the country
gawk upon his visits to the city. But
now the tables are turned, and the
city boys and girls may well look out
for their laurels as world-wise young
sters.
1--WE have been reading Snow
Bound in our eighth grade recently"

surprise and wonderment to note how
little the children know about farm
life and nature. Some passages which

"Take, for instance, the passage,
The oxen hooked and dashed their
tails The scholars could not imagine
what hooked meant. They thought
that the word hook meant to snatch,
to steal, to grab, to swipe but not one
associated the word with the tossing
of the horns Of the impatient brutes.

hood days. The city children were
nonplussed in reading of the gray
banks of clouds with the rising of the
sun. The sun they see is over the

for me to observe how little the city
people are taught to observe nature.

Era of Sport a Healthful Sign.

This is the era of sport. Practically
every man and boy, every woman and
girl, takes part, or wishes to take part,
in some branch of it. And it is fOrtu-
nate that the field is broad enough for
all. And in all this variety Of sport,
in all this eager devotion to it, there
is nothing harmful, nothing that points
a warning. On the contrary, it is for
individual and national good. 1t gives
health and tone to the system, it
clears and freshens the mind by bright
exercise and competition in the clear,
open air, and it drives the cobwebs
from wearied brains. And thus it is
that this era Of enthusiastic devotion
to sport is good.-Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post. -

The Queen of Holland is thoroughly
Dutch in every way, and therefore it
is not surprising that she is keen in
the discharge Of housewifely duties.
Once in three weeks the young Queen
makes a tour of inspection of the royal
kitchens, to see if the cupboards, the
plates and the saucepans are in good
order - those beautifully FURNISHED
copper pans which are the delight Of
every Dutch housewife, and a tarnsh
on which she would regard almost as
a stain on her own reputation. Econ
omy and thrift are marked character
istics of Queen Wilhelmina's domestic

A Tiny Maple Trees Narrow Escape.

"The maple had one or two exciting
and narrow escapes during
its babyhood" writes William Day
EXPORT Hubert in "The Story of the
Maple Tree" in the Ladies Home
Journal. "Close beside it stood tiny
beech tree. One afternoon deer came
by, lifting his feet and putting them
down again as lightly as if he were
afraid of stepping on eggs. There
were no eggs there to be stepped on,
but there were other things just as
fragile and helpless. The two baby
trees stood right in his path,
and now his left fOrefOot came
straight down toward them. One,
at least, must surely perish. Which
would it be? Or would it be both?
They stood so close together that even
that dainty little hoof could easily
have covered both of them at once. In
another second the deer had passed
on, and the beech lay in the pointed
footprint, it's stem broken and its life
crushed out, while less than half an
inch away the baby maple stood I'M
harmed"

Then there was the ambitious wom-
an in search of an education. She
saw no deeper than the sleeps cloth
ing, for she artlessly confded to the
wolf that she had always taken care
of the children and the housekeeping,
and been quite contented until her
husband had obtained a political posi-
ton that gave them a certain social
standing, and that she must now rise
to meet it. SO she had Joined the club.
