BEST rLAcE FOR THE BOY.
Home the Greatest Force That Enters
Into His Life

Home the greatest Force That Enters
Into His Life,
Home is par excellence, the unity
ng force the life of a boy, argues
the Chautauquan. At home his life
centers. From home he goes to school,
to church, to the playground, and
nome again he returns from all these.
Home is his point of departure, his
point of return, his headquarters. Here
ne keeps his possessions, toys, play
things, games, books, pictures, pets
collections. In even the humbles'
home, If it be wisely administered, a
special place Is set aside for each
child where he may keep his things,
and be at home. Even dog likes to
have his spot. This spot, for a child,
may be only a corner, for boy II
should be a whole room. 1t Is touch
ing to see how a boy loves his own
room, even though it be but a box of
place in a modern fiat; how eager
he is to keep it nice, how proud to
bring to it his boy frienus.
This principle that q local center
is necessary to boys normal devel-
opment is in some degree greater or
less violated by those who fit from
fiat to fiat; who keep continually on
the wing; who go to different resort
each summer. One American boy l
know of had got fast hold of prime
distinction when he asked, Mother,
are we going to live this summer, or
only hoard?"

In Fashions School.

II you wish to be quite in the fashion
You must learn how to practice repose.
You must scorn all expression of passion,
You may love, yes, but under the rose.
One may grant you another concession,
You may smile at something quite
smart
But you'd better think OF repression,
And not laugh too loud at the start.
II with laughter your sides may be shak-
ing,
Be quite sure that no one near knows.
Though with grief your heart may be
breaking
To be swell you must practice repose.

They generally change color about

This proposition causes us a great
deal of worry and considerable specu-
lation as to the best way to overcome
this difficulty without working hard
shin on the owners Of the bitches, and
the farmers who are benefited by the
same. Various schemes and devices
have been suggested but rejected as
not practicabl either on account of the
expense attached to them or the nom
feasibility of the plans. However,
Frank B. Morse, game warden of Wal
la Walla, Wash, has invented a de-
vice, which after careful study of its
workings, seems to me TO pc as near
a solution of this difficulty as I could
imagine. The device mentioned is a
wheel. consisting of cast iron bearings
and wooden buckets covered with wire
netting, and placed $50 as to, revolve
with the current, sthe size of the wheel
to be governed. by the size of the in
take of the ditch or fiume in which
it is to be used This wheel is SO con-
structed as to fit snugly in a casing
or .fiume, and in revolving will almost
touch the bottom of the same. This
wheel is also constructed so that
leaves. moss or small drift win not
clog up or stop it's workings during
freshet. Sticks or other large debris
| will simply lift the wheel for a mo-
ment and on passing will allow the
wheel to drop and continue its motion.
( The constant turning Of the wheel will
scare away young salmon and the dis
ance~between the bottom of the wheel
and that of the dume or casing is so
small that it will not allow. the young
fish to enter the bitches This seems
to me well worth looking into. as in
my opinion it will prevent the destruc-

T. r., Kefshaw; fish commissioners OF

In it he speaks very highly Of the de-

for keeping fish out of the irrigating
bitches, and of the great iced for such
an invention, Mr., Ker : says:
"One of the greatest menaces to the
successful operation of fish hatcheries
east of the mountains and one of the
most. perplexing problems of this de
partment has to contend with, is the
irrigating bitches: These itchesT are
located at various places on the trib-
utaries of the Columbia, on which
some of our, hatcheries. are located.
Some of them extend for miles, irri-
eating great deal of territory. The
inlents to these bitches are large and
a great many young salmon that have
been Matched and cared for by this
department at a considerable expense,
on being .turned,sant of the hatcheries

Two, years ago made a trip
through eastern Washington for; the
express purpose of investigating these
conditions, and in many bitches that
visited I found thousands of young
salmon that had entered the irrgating
bitches and died; in some instances
could have gathered up pals. full
