The Play Instinct,

The educational association of a Bos-
ton suburb listened the other day with
much approval toIastalk on the play
instinct in children 9by prominent
educator r
IF you will watcir a child playing,
you will be struck by it's seriousness %
he said. Whether 1t is a baby try
ing to put his toe, into his mouth, or
a boy climbing a'cchair, with varied
and nerve destroying results; a little
girl treating the diseases of her dolls,
of whatever else the child is doing,
you will notice that he gives his whole
mind to it and is. as much absorbed
as you become in your most serious
pursuits. 1t is play in the sense Of
taken for it's own sake and not for an
ulterior object; it is not play in the
sense OF being mere relaxation or di-
version, or of. secondary Importance.
1t Is the seriousness of play that gives
it its educational Importance.
Education is not a question of ac-
qulring knowledge, neither is 1t a mat
ter of the training of powers; it is a
matter of the fostering and cultivation
Of life. For the thing we are trying
to get at is not the muscles or the
mind, but the thing behind that runs
the muscles and the mfnd-the CEN
tral thing, the soul, or whatever else
we call 1t; for the SOUL like the body,
Grows by exercise and in no other way.
Play is a principal means by which
the inheritance of the race Is trans
mitted. Nature does not furnish the
child, as she does the young animal,
with directly useful instincts, but in
place of so doing she does provide the
one single instinct which forces him
to go to school, and the school which
she keeps IS play school.

German Cold Cream.

The Germans have great variety OF
cold, sweet dishes. Apple blossoms,
Vlolets; jasmine or red roses may be
chosen, according to the season. OF
course, only one kind of flower must
be used. Choose, for instance, fragrant
red roses, not too full blown; free them
carefully from withered petals or rose
worms. Take six and one-haifs ounces
of the petals, chop them very fine and
quickly put them on a clean plate, and
add two ounces of powdered sugars

set one quart Of sweet milk over a
slow fire, add Stne rose leaves. cover
carefully and ietethem simmer half an

WOMAN WHO RAN FOOT
RACES DIES AT rs
walker" Jones, Who Outspeeded q
Horse, Passes Away.

PAW PAW, Mich, Feb. 12.-If one
were to read on tombstone, Dead
Walker Jones, aged seventy-f five, T"
one would conclude that the epitaph
referred to a man, but walker" Jones
Is the name Of q woman who has just
died in Paw Paw at the advanced age
indicated and whose personality was as
unique as her name. Her real name
was Mary, but because Of her exploits
as a pedestrian she was more general
ly known as Walker"
Speaking of her athletic feats, 1t is
told that Walker" once ran a mile
race with a horse at a lake near Paw
Paw. She won, although, of course, the
horse was slow. Mrs. Jones leaves four
daughters. One of them, Mrs. r. G.
Howe, of Chicago, attended her in her
last illness. Another lives in North Da-
kota, The residence of the others IS
unknown.
Mrs. Jones die4 at her home, about
mile out Of town, few days ago after
a short illness. Up to the time of her
last Illness she was as hale and spry
as most young women of twenty in
spite of her advanced age. Her &C.
centric acts are local history. Ten
years ago, after many experiences at
Fourth of July celebrations and fairs
all over the country in foot races, she
decided to walk to California The
local bands and crowds from all over
the county were on hand to witness
the start. AS a band played a national
air the crowds saw a queer figure ap-
pear on the balcony, dressed in an alb
breviated skirt, whence protruded a
pair Of No. 9 shoes. She was tall and
masculine looking, and had a deep
voice. She made the crowd an address
and in ending recited an original poem.
each stanza declaring in the lest line:
For 1 am off for California"
Her speech ended, and, headed by
the band, she started off up the street
between streamers Of white ribbon held
by prominent townsmen. She walked to
a town forty miles distant, when her
health and her money gave out and
she had to return.
walkers" home was as unique as
the rest Of her personality. 1t was a
queer structure Of one room below and
an attic above, access to which was
acquired by ladder outside. Many a
farmer returning home late at night
had seen the strange sight of Mary
ascending the ladder in the darkness
with a lamp in one hand, balancing
herself with the other.

For some time there has been con-
siderable feeling concerning the sub
jects discussed by the club at it's
meetings. Originally the club was
purely literary in it's interests, and all
the papers read at the meetings We're
upon literary subjects. 1t is felt by
many members of the club that these
subjects have been pretty we'll ex-
hausteds and during the past year the
study has been equally divided be-
tween literary and sociological or
philanthropical questions.
AT a recent meeting the programme
committee asked for suggestions from
members of the club as to what line Of
work most interested them. There
were a number who wished to confine
the study to literary subjects: others
who wished to intermingle the socio-
logical questions with the literary and
still others who would confine them
serves TO the latter. considerable feel
ing was manifest, and at yesterdays
meeting each member present was
asked for written opinion, or, in
other words, the matter was voted
upon, for, although it rests entirely
in the hands of the programme COM
mittee, the committee will doubtless be
guided by the wishes of the club.
State Institutions" was the subject
of the paper and discussion yesterday
afternoon. Miss Obenauer read a very
interesting paper on the "State Pub
lie School at OWatonn8," in which she
described the life of the children who
live there. The discussion which fol-
lowed led to the comparison of such
schools with the government acade-
mics at West Point and Annapolis. AT
both these latter, it was stated the
cadets are taught, fed and lodged at
the expense of the country. but no
talnt of disgrace attaches to the Young
men who receive their education from
the government, whereas it was NOT
considered an honor for a child to at
tend the state public school.
The general feeling seemed to he

'sWHAT DO WE PLANT?"

These three verses, written for an Arbor
day celebration in 1890 by Henry Abbey,
Of Kingston. N. Y, have also been cred
tied to the late j: Sterling Morton, proba-
bly, because Mr.. Morton while secretary
of. agriculture read them in connection,
with a speech made at Western grange
meeting:
What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the ship which will cross the
sea;
We plant the mast to carry the sails;
We plant the plank to withstand the gales.
The keel the keelson, the beam, the knee;
We plant the ship when we plant the tree.
What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the houses for you and me;
We plant the rafters, the shingles, the
floors;
We plant the studding, the lath, the doors.
The beams, the siding, ali parts that be:
We plant the house when We plant the
tree.
What do we plant when we plant the tree?
A thousand things that we daily see;
We plant the spire that out-towers the
crag;
We plant the staff for our country's flag,
We plant the shade from the hot sun
We plant all these when we plant the
tree.

BILE women have lavished on Comte
Robert, and naturally one regrets the
stacks of five dollar bills they burn as
incense at his shrine But Comte
Robert can do more worldly good for
women Of society than they for him,
and although French counts seem as
common as the ocean sands, Montes-
QuiOu- -Fezensac Is an exception to this
rule. He is both rich and powerful
IN his own land. The fiattery Of Amer
lean women, therefore, may be attribu-
ted to their own social aspirations, be-
cause Roberts first cousin is the
Duchess de Fezensac, and by this con-
nection he is related to one of the "four
grand duchesses Of Paris" These are
four women Of the old aristocracy that
represent a society in comparison to
which that Of New York Is almost as
promiscuous as a crowd in Bowery
dance hall The three other noble
women are the Duchesse d'UZes, the
Duchesse de Rohan and the Duchesse
de Noailles. They lead the old set,
that never admits a stranger. Each Of
the families held it's title for five CEN
turies or more. The grandparents of
these duchesses snubbed Napoleon and
ignored his court 100 years ago. Since
the ball of the BOurbonS they have re-
manned in Seclusion. Many are COM
paratively poverty stricken, but an
outside marriage would batter down
, the traditions they treasure most. Mon
tesquiou may not be in high favor with
his cousin, but even friendship with
her is worth something. That is why
our most prominent women hold out
their hands to Comte Robert.
