CURIOUS SCENE IN GENOA.
A street where the SUNS Light LIS
Obscured by Drying Clothes.

Obscured Ey Drying Clothes.
One of the most curious scenes In
all Italy is TO he found in the laun-
dresses quarter in Genoa This quar-
ter consists of short street which Is
reached by descending few steps
branching of from the main thorough
fare. Buildings of six stories rise on
each side of the street and from ev
cry one of their windows is stretched
one or more clotheslines sagglng with
the weight of apparel of every kind
and condition. An eternal shadow cast
by hundreds OF drying garments hangs
over this quarter and makes it dark
and gloomy. The pedestrian who looks
upward toward the blue sky can see
nothing but cloud OF varlegated shape
and color which effectively obscures
the light of the sun.
In the center OF the street below
there stand In sort of summer house
Il number of public tanks. Crowds OF
shrill voiced women gather day by day
about this out of door laundry TO ex-
change the gossip of the quarter and
wash out their piles OF soiled linen.
From the appearance Of tho lines which
stretch and intertwine far above the
pavement II Is to be judged that all the
washing that IL done In Genoa at all
Is done in this particular street-De-

The instructive fear of death mani
tested by birds Is shown by the follow
ing: A canary died, was buried, the
NESTING pace broken up, the Surviving
mate removed TO a new cage and the
old cage thoroughly cleaned and put
aside till the following spring. Never,
however, could any bird afterward en-
dure being placed in that cage. They
fought and struggled to get out, and IL
all in vain their efforts they moped,
budding close together, thoroughly un-
happy, refusing to be comforted by any
amount of sunshine, companlonship or
dainty food. The experiment was tried
with foreign birds that had not been in
the house when the death occurred and
could not therefore have known of the
event by observation. But the result
was always the same. For the future
that cage was haunted.-Popular Sell

KINDERGARTEN THE LINK BETWEEN
THE HOME AND THE SCHOOL
BY BELLE GRAY.

We all know that mother who Is
will not send him. when he has been
accustomed to a soft, southern climate,
to the chilly North in the dead of
winter. She knows if this is done that
her child will receive a physical shock
that will injure his constitution. The
wise mother if it be necessary for him
to make the change, sends her child
North in the early fall, thus giving
him time TO get acclimated before the
winter sets in.
Yet, in spite of this, we see this very
mother, perhaps. sending her young
child, who all his life has been sur
rounded by the home atmosphere,
made up as it is of her own love and
care, into a crowded school room
where he is under the control of a
teacher who has not the time to study
the individual tastes and personal pc
culiarities of each child in her charge.
1 leave it to you if the child's mind
will not receive a shock if this change
of mental atmosphere be so suddenly
effected. Yet you give judicious care
to your child's physical health. Is his
physical well-being then more impor-
tant than his mental wel-being?
Surely not. The mind and body must
develop uniformly if your child is to
reach the full stature of his growth!
but what then is to be DONE" you
say. "Our children must be educated
and the public schools are usually the
best and most available means for
their education"
Acclimated for School.
We answer: Through the kinder
gerter the child may become acclimat-
ed before he enters the public school,"
The kindergarten forms the transition
period between home life and school
life. 1t is the connecting link be-
tween the home and the school, for the
following reasons:
BY means of the kindergarten the
change from the home atmosphere is
made more gradual. The kindergarten
puts forth every effort to make the
child feel that in the kindergarten he
is only in an enlarged family circle.
He is also led to know that his teacher
loves him and takes a personal inter
est in him. A feeling of good fellowship
among the children is encouraged and
each one Is made to know that he.
himself must help to keep the machin-
cry of the kindergarten in good work
ing order by being obedient, helpful.
indurtious and unselhsh.
The variety exhibited in the kinder
garten progress keeps the child's in
terest from tagging and prevents men
tai and bodily fatigue. This is shown
in the programme for the morning
work
First Period of the Kindergarten.
The first period when the children sit
at the tables, their minds as well as
their fingers being kept busily en-
ployed for twenty minutes is followed
by delsarte, gymnastics and marching
to music. The exercises develop the
child's body and at the same time Gull
tivate his faculty for discerning the
rhythm and harmony in music. Then
comes the morning circle when the
children form a ring as they sit in
their little chairs, and sing the kin
dergarten songs. After this comes the
game pertod-Inore bodily exercise.

kchoe and John FlRnnery other
Members-IdttIe sisters of Poor,
Female Orphan Society, ST. JOS

draI Altar Society Four of Bene-
fciaries.
With the drawing of a check for $50
900 by Capt. John Flannery, The Elan
merry Trust Fund" has been established
and the Board of Trustees has been
organized.
The personal check of Capt. Elan

Of the Board of Trustees, and the in
come will be apportioned from time to
time among five Roman Catholic insti-
tutions.
With the payment of the $4,000 in
cash provisions are made for the ham

Board of Trustees in any manner they
or a majority of them shall deem best,
for the carrying out of the objects for
which the trust was created, with full
power to the trustees, or a majority of
them, to sell and dispose of, at public
or private sale, without notice to any
one, and without any legal formality,

proceeds of such sales in any manner
that they may determine, to which re-

tees shall be bound to look.
Provisions of Trust.
The following provisions are made
by Capt. Flannery: That the trustees
are to preserve intact the principal of
the fund, and never by any action or
resolution on their part, to enroach
upon 1t. and to divide the net income
arising therefrom, from time to time.
as the board may determine, in the fol-
lowing manner:
Thlrty per cent of the net income
to be given to the Little Sisters of the
Poor of Savannah, for the maintenance
OF their home for the Aged Poor. of
all religious denominations, now locat-
ed in Savannah.
Twenty-Five per cent. to be given Ia

mind to relax while the body is being
exercised, will promote a uniform de-
Velopment of the child's powers, both
mental and physical.
The annual work, as embodied in the
kindergarten occupations is especial
ly good for the young child. There is
no truer saying than that.
Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do
BY keeping the child's hands busy
while he is in the kindergarten and by
showing him how he may employ
those hands at home, much evil may
be avoided.
The kindergarten gifts develop the
child's inventive and constructive
powers. They give a rudimentary
knowledge of plane and solid geom-
etry, teach him to count and help him
to gain some idea of the laws which
govern proportion.
To Take Care of Hands and Feet.
The child is brought to feel that he
must take care of his hands, his feet,
his lips. We often hear children say,
when reprimanded for some misde-
meanor:
II didn't do it. 1t was my hands
did it,
Il didn't want to go there. Those
IScI lOOh ItlGy VI 1ne WORDS lust
slipped out; 1 did not mean to say
them"
Now, If the child is made to realize
that his hands, feet and lips cannot
move of their own volition, that it is
he, as a mental and moral agent. who
has charge of them and is to be held
responsible for their right doing. he
will strive to make his minions sub
ject to his will power. He thus takes
the first steps in learning the great
lesson of self-control
The disposition and personal char
acteristics of each child are carefully
studied by the Kindergarten who earn
estly strives to help the child to over
come any fault which will retard his
growth, physically, mentally and spir-
itually.
Interest in the world around him is
aroused and sustained by giving the
child work which is related to his own
experience and yet which gives him a
fuller knowledge of the world of ma
ture, of art and of mechanics.
And, last of all, in all the work and
play in the kindergarten, the child
is made to feel the fact of the heaven
