s Environment has a great influence
over the minds of children in zde-
termining what sort of knowledge
they assimilate. The Philadelphia
Telegraph reports this incident, the
scene OF which was the public school
in a district where all the residents
are skilled in farming:
A fag-raising was held at the
schoolhouse, and after the banner
had been flung to the breeze there
was an exhibition of the drawings
which the pupils had made and the
work they had done during the year.
The teacher had recited to the class
the story of the landing of the Pill
grims, and after she had finished,
she requested each pupil to try to
draw from his or her imagination q

Lizard In Literature.

In his great narrative poem, "Enoch
Arden" Tennyson describes the ship
wrecked mariner on his lonely isle
sitting so still in his long wait for a
sail that 1.-THE golden lizard on him
paused" have often wondered how
fennyson got that idea and whether
he was justified in it. Do lizards ever
run up onto human beings and wait
there for their insect prey? Emily
Bronte represents the sinister hero
of ''Wuthering Heights" as standing
still SO long in his agony and coming
to look so unlike human being that
building thrush, If I remember
rightly, is seen to perch upon him.
But lizard seems even less likely in
this connection than a bird. How
ever, as we sat lunching on a sunny
bank the other day my companion
suddenly gave little scream and
cried, "Oh, what curious thing is on
your arm?" I looked down and there
was a common lizard, with its head
oddly twisted on one side. The move
ment disturbed my little visitor,
(which darted over my shoulder and
in an instant or two had disappeared

"We'd better see who that is" said

to meet them.
"It's me-" said Parmelee's jolly

opened the door which led down into
the floorless space where the huge
stove stood to see that the draughts
were right and the fire hot. Sui
phur fumes from two pans upon the
stove-top were rising thickly, and a
little blue streamer foated out into
the baling room of the kiln. Parmelee

The automobile is now an important
factor in the equipment of most of the

even being used extensively by Great
Britain. whose military system is far
behind that of her neighbors. High
power cars are employed by general and
staff officers in the conduct of man

tage in times of war. Transport trains
are rendered more mobile through the
addition of self-propelled vans, which
carry provisions and ammunition to
points where both are needed, at rate

about by steam and gasoline motors

with the motor car in other directions.

There is much to be said for the kali

France and Germany should go to
war they might fight with blank car

general as referee. He could score
points and order the defeated side to
retire. Sooner or later one army
