jeot to the seaeon, introducing vari-
Gus branches of natural science,
botany, zoology, physics, chemistry,
~m1neralogy, etc. Another helpful
book for teachers Is published by D.
G. Heath & Co. It is "Nature Study
and the Child by G. B. SCOTT. First
the author lays a foundation by a
treatment of the subject in itself
III he proposes a plan Of work for
the grades carrying the work sys-
tematically through the year and
lastly gives illustration of what has
been accomplished by this plan in
various schools. The book is admir-
able for the teacher who, unprepared
by scientific training, wishes to take
up this work in her school. Another
less comprehensive book but rich in
suggestion comes from California
Lessons in Nature Study" by Jenk
ms and Kellogg, is the title, and Is
the direct result of work accom-
plished in one of the graded schools.
The interest in nature study is so
widespread that some States and
educational institutions are issuing
bulletins upon nature study which
as little or no cost are accessible to
the enthusiastic student. First and
earliest + the Cornell Bulletins
issued by the Nature Study Bureau
at that institution. These are valu-
able additions to any nature study
library. The March number of the
Teachers College Record" published
by Columbia University, N. Y, con-
tains outlies tor q very valuable
course in nature study together with
an excellent list of the literature on
the subject.
The Pennsylvania State Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued a
Nature Study Leahet edited by Miss
Miller which is free in it's systematic
arrangement and wealth of sugges-
ton. The Indiana Nature Leaflets
r also we'll worthy of mention.
For the very little folks at school
and at home there is a wealth of
material. I can mention a few series
that seem especially attractive to
to the teacher as supplementary
reading material at school or at
home.
I have been delighted with The
Field and Forest series by Chase
issued in eve volumes, "Plant
Babies" in two volumes by the same
author r charming first year stud,
les. This series is issued by the
Educational Publishing Company.
The same Company also publishes
another series which have been we'll
received, "Leaves from Natures
Story Book" by Kelly.
The "Sea Side and Way Side"
Series, "Griel's Glimpses of Nature"
"From September to june" by M.
L. Warren, published by Heath, r
captivating in style, and rich in in
formation. For first year reading
the last two mentioned are among
the very best books of this nature
that have yet appeared.
The entire movement in nature
study is for the benefit of the chill.
dren. The aim is to cause the child
TO love nature, COntentment and
happiness are the results of think
ing, and one thinks much when he
sees much. "When all is said and
done, it will be found that the sig
nificant mark of this century is not
it's invention nor it's learning it is
the spirit Of altruism which sacri-
foes everything that the child may
have a fuller life"

Men and women are laboring and
suffering but is there more of it for
Christ's sake or that of his cause
than there is for the ordinary en-
terprises of lifeP Men visit the sick
and minister TO the poor, but do they
evince any of the heroic spirit in the
extent of sacrifices of this ministry?
Men are giving to the enterprises of
the Church and for the upbuilding
of humanity, but do any or many OF
them suffer as heroes in the g1vtngE
Do we have any or much heroic
giving in these times; giving that
amounts TO suffering or sacrifice on
the part of those who give? There
is nberality, we know but does it
amount to Christian heroism?-

Remember the hundreds of new and

~
Remember the infamous election law
which seeks to disfranchlse 100 900

Remember these things. and if you

TEACH THEM TO WORK.


Under the above caption the Acker.

Searight contains the following:
The poorest girls and boys are those
not taught, to work. Many rich par
ents think their children are too good
to work, and thereby raise them up
IN idleness. not teaching them the
true worth of life and living. To be
brought up this way is the most for
lorn condition to fall in to. It's the
duty OF the parents to protect their
children from this deplorablc condi.
tion. They do them a great injustice
if they neglect this, Girls as well as
boys should be taught to earn their
own living, The rich as well as the
poor require this training The
wheel Of fortune rolls swiftly round;
the poor may become rich and the
rich become poor Skill added to la

Me1qutraf- STR
BIRDS ARE GOOD SURGEONS.
MANY FEATHERED CREATURES HAVE
A KNOWLEDGE OF ITS PRINCI-
Plies

Naturalists are well aware of the
fact that a considerable number OF
the bird creation possess a knowledge
of the principles Of surgery that is
not far from supernatural. The man
ner in which they endeayor to aid
nature is very interesting. The wood
cock and the partridge, for instance,
are able TO dress their wounds with
considerable skill. A famous natur-
alist says that on several occasions he
has killed wo0dc0ck that were, when
shot convalescing from wounds pre-
yiously received 91~
In every instance he had the old in.
jury neatly dressed with down pluck
ed from the stems Of feathers and
skillfully arranged over the wound,
evidently by the long beak of the bird.
In some instances solid plaster was
thus formed and in others ligatures
had been applied to wounded or bro.
ken limbs. One day he killed a bird
that had evidently been severely
wounded at some recent period. The
wound was covered and protected by
sort of network Of feathers which
had been plucked by the bird from its
own body aud so arranged as to for I'm
a plaster completely covering and pro.
tecting the wounded surface.
1t had evidently acted as hemosta.
tic in the first place and subsequently
asa shield covering the wounda The
feathers were fairly netted together,
passing alternately under and aboye
each other and forming a textile fab
rlc OF great protective power. Birds
are often found whose limbs have
been Shot, With the fractured ends
neatly Joined and ligated.
NJ. Dumonteil tells of Il woodcock
that had been shot by a sportsman on
the afternoon of certain day. AZ
ter a long search the bird was given
up, but it was discoyered the next
morning by accident. In the mean.
time the wounded legs were found to
be neatly ligated, and .eXquistely
neat bandage having been placed
around each limb. The poor bird,
however, had in dressing its wound
entangled its beak with some long,
soft feathers and had it not been dis
covered it would have died of starva.
tion.

EFFORTS TO APE ROYALTY.

Bryan's Commoner
A.great deal Of time is just now be-
Ing spent in the study Of royal ways
in order that Prince Henry may
be made to feel at home in America.
Why all this worry? He comes TO
the United States OF his own accord,
and it would seem more in keeping
with the proprIeties Of the occasion IL
he would sDend some time in the
study OF American ways. in order
| that he might act as lie should set in
a republic and among people who be-
lieve in republic. Why not assume
that, inspite Of his royal birth, he is
good, ordinary man, and treat him as
we would an ordinary person? We
are under no obligation to treat roy
atty as royalty is treated at home.
1t seems a little strange that we
should make such violent efforts 10
ape European ways when foreigner
comes here, although thrre is no aping
of American ways when one OF our
representatives goes abroad.

There is nothing surprising about
this, since the facts which are ad.
