County Clerk Miller has come to the
conclusion that county officers ought to
be elected to serve four years instead of
two years as now, and he is inviting
opinions of other county clerks through

a view to promoting legislation having
that purpose 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Miller will find unusual unanimity
among all the county officers, who are
always convinced that their terms OF
official usefulness are altogether toe

Ter never discovered this remarkable de

-
The Peoples University Extension society
of New York has completed it's fourth year
of work for the improvement Of social con-
ditionE.
1t is the aim Of the society, says the
New York Sun, to help the hundreds of
small local organizations which are strug-
Cling to aid the people around them by
providing for these little societies the
trained teachers which their work most
requires.
How much the poor themselves appreciate
what is being done is seen in their pathetic
desire for the practical knowledge given.
1t is not unusual for working girls to at
tend the evening classes supperless, because
they have not had time to go home to eat
a meal first.
Women Just come from the hard labor Of
%scrubbing Offices after business hours are
found at these same classes. Instruction
In dressmaking and household economy
means much to them in their struggle to
feed and clothe their children we'll on scanty
means.
Lecture courses for mothers on hygiene,
sanitation and the care of children form the
largest department of the society's work.
Then there is instruction In elementary
manual ~training-for instance, in basket
weaving and chair Gaming for boys and
girls, helping them to earn a living and
keep them out of mischief.
Sewing and dressmaking classes are also
held and are in great demand. Especially
they awaken enthusiasm among the grown
girls and married women.
A man thought the cooking class the
best thing in the society's work. His wife
worked in a store before they married.
The result was that It took all his wages
to buy canned food, and yet the couple
never had anything At to eat till the wife
went to cooking school.
For the girls working in shops and fac
tories physical culture classes are held.
The girls like them and gain noticeably In
health and strength.
Lecture courses in civics and American
history designed to inspire a stronger sense
of civic responsibility in the individual are
given. For these and for all other kinds
of instruction 1t offers the society is con-
stantly receiving more appeals than II can
possibly satisfy with the means at its dis
posal.

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RippIes ON the Current of Life In
the Metropolis.

Rev. John L. scudder. an up-todate con-
gregational minister at Jersey City, has
started An athletic boom among the women
OF his congregation. The other evening he
preached a sermon on How to Bring Up
Our Girls In which he said:
THE kind Of angel I like to see weighs
not less than 100 pounds.
Her waist is more than five inches in
diameter, and her heels, instead Of being
perched upon stills, are on a level with
the rest of her feet.
"She is as straight as an arrow; she
never has Mysteries: she sleeps seven hours
and enjoys every moment Of It.
"She has a clear head, a pure heart and a
cheerful disposition. She is a real woman
nothing artificial or assumed about her.
She is no sham, ne apology or caricature Of
a woman. She is Just what God meant her
to be-healthy, hearty and perfectly
natural"
He endorsed athletics for girls and asked
this question: eff an English girl can play
cricket with her brother, why should not an
American girl play something better than
bean bag?"

Here even the glory of the lovely birthday cake with its nine pink candles, faded into insignificance before a wonderful Jack Her Pie, which, with it's dainty ribbons of blue and pink. was quite a feature of the oc- casion. Each little lad and lassie caught a ribbon and at a given signal from their hostess drew out a souvenir of the oc- casion. Little Carolyin's guests were:
