Formed In the United States and
Canada For n Visit to the Pam
American Exposition.
No one of experience needs to be told
how much more pleasant travelling and
sightseeing is with agreeable compan-
ions than all by oneself. There is
truth in the saying that "a pleasure
shared is pleasure doubled" The
factAASt it is well to know beforehand
sometYf%Nof the nature of what is 10
be seen and how to get about with the
smallest loss of valuable time and in
convenience and get intelligent ideas
is equally appreciated by those who
have wandered from their own fire
sides in search Of pleasure. 1t has
| been the experience of thousands of
visitors to EXpositions that loneliness,
though in the midst of great crowds,
robbed them of much of the enjoyment
in store and that by reason of not ac-
qUainting themselves in advance with
what was to be seen they missed the
things which might have appealed to
them strongest.
In view OF all this. the plan Of form
ing travel and study clubs by those
who intend visiting the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo next Summer
which has been adopted in many cities
and villages of the United States and
Canada may be said to be an excellent
one. The membership of these organi-
cations is composed of people of both
sexes and all ages practically. The
objects are pleasant companiOnship, ar
rangements for transportation and ac-
commodations and an intelligent and
comprehensive view and knowledge
of the Exposition. The course Of study
taken up comprehends everything in
connection with the trip and the Expo
sition and side trips as we'll Among
the subjects are the following:
Routes and Rates.
City of Buffalo.
Countries of the Western Hemi-
sphere and the New Possessions of the
United States, ca Geography, (b) His
tory, (c) Resources.
Pan-Amcrican Exposition. (a) Object,
(b) Arrangement Of Buildings and
Courts, (cJ Meaning of the harmonious

cultural. fountain and electrical effects,
with reference to illustrating the prog
ress of the race, (d) exhibits, (ej amuse-
mentS.
Niagara Falls. (a) Natural Wonders,
Ch) Power Development.
Much of the information necessary
to this course of study is furnished by
the Bureau of Publicity of the Pan
American Exposition, Buffalo. while
the remainder is procured by the clubs
6rom Railway and Steamship Offices,
hotels, information bureaus. libraries
and elsewhere.
This study at any time would he
very interesting and valuable, but with
the prospect of amplifying it. with n
visit to the Exposition, where the peO-
plies Of the different countries and the
varied resources of the Western Hemi-
sphere will be assembled. amid splen-
doris such as were never before pre-
sented to the sight, the measure is
largely increased.

WILL HELP THE COUNTRY SCHOOL.


In very many sections of the country
the problem Of maintaining the local
district school has become a seriou9
problem, this for want Of children to
educate. Following up the suggestion
made some time ago in these notes to
the effect that the most practical sOlu-
tiOn Of the hired man trouble on the
farm was to employ married men, Civ
ing them n home in which to live, a
garden, chickens and pasture for a
COW, we want to further claim that
such q plan will do much to also solve
the school problem, such men preSuma-
bly, being generally young men and al
most sure sooner or later to have chill
dren to send to the country schools.
Surely this plan has much to commend
it-rcliablc help, the married hired man
not wanting to run off every night or
two 20 see his girl, but staying right 1T
home to look after his family, at home
Sunday evening and not running off to
leave the old man all the cows to milk
the farmers wife, rid of the work Of
caring for and feeding the help in the
house. the wife of the hired man at
hand to help in the home if needed oc-
casionaIly, a crop Of nice little folks be
ing raised to patronize the district
school The more this scheme is looked
into the better thing it is found to be.

American Forestry.

Indigenous trees are easily recogniz-
cd by the observing inhabitants Of any
locality as belonging to certain general
classtcations. Pine, oak, elm, maple,
chestnut and some others are so COM
mon in most temperate climates that
they are familiar to every one. That
these distinct divisions have been SUBJ
divided into hundreds of minor clasSi-
ficatious is not so well known.
1t will be in the province Of the ex-
hibit at the Pan-American Exposition
to demonstrate in this connection some
exceedingly interesting peculiarities or
seeming mistakes in nature.

Thrifty.

A Canadian minister had just mar.
ried n couple The registers were
signed, and nothing remained but the
giving and taking of the fee. The
bridegroom, Il strapping young fellow,
asked:
"How much is it"
The parson glanced at the smiling
bride and slyly answered:
Whatever you think it is worth"
Now, it should have been worth a
great deal, for the girl was young and
pretty.
Il reckon it's worth about . shil-
lings," said the swain, holding out two
half crowns.
The clergyman looked blanky at the
coins, then turned TO the fair one.
'I'n leave it TO you, madam" he said.
"What do you think it's WORTH"
What did this young and blushinG
bride do? She reached out, took the
coins, handed one half crown to the
minister and put the other into her
pocket
"A thrifty wife" said the minister,
with a sigh, "is her husbands crown"
Perhaps he ought to have said half
crown.-London Tit-Bits.

ment, that one pair of feet, more no.

the sergeant bawled out n second or

He could see that all the feet except
those he watched turned in obedience

Portursp. Kind Hearted Queen,

A crown never went with a kinder
heart than that of Queen Marie Amelie
of Portugal To the poor and ailing Of
her capital she IS more than an angel
Of mercy, for this extremely modern
queen is exceptionally equipped for
her mission Queen Amelie is to all
intents and purposes a physician,
though it is not true, as has been stat
ed, that her majesty possesses a doc
tors degree. Medicine, in spite of the
many distractions of her position, re-
mains always her chief interest. Fall
ing very little short Of professional
knowledge, she has combined a rare
intelligence with the power she has
to improve the hospitals in the city Of
Lisbon. This work has taxed the pow
ers of this capable queen to the ut
most and incidentally has endeared her
to many thousands Of the unfortunate
among her subjects.
Many are the stories told of her sinS-
pie kindness and of her skill and BRAY
cry. For years Queen Amelie has
worn n medal for jumping into the
Tagus and saving Il child from drown
ing. 4 second medal has been sent to
her by the kaiser in recognition Of her
bravery in saving a boatman from an
untimely death. No act of heroiSm
seems too great for the doctOr-Queen
and not one of her subjects too lowly
for her notice. In walking through
wood near her palace not long ago she
came upon a woodcutter who had
been injured by fall from a tree.
Promptly and skillfully she bound up
his wounds and saw him carried safe
ly to his cottage. Little guessing the
