Our Boys.

To the mind of many the average boy carries
cussedness to the square inch than is healthy
for himself or good for the community. He is not
nice or lovable, like his sister His department
is simply horrid. His buttons won't stay on; his
fingers won't keep clean, and mudhole has an
attraction for him that seems tc argue well in ia
of a large prenatal experience. Everybody
pears to feel that something should be done to-
ward his ameioration but what to do and how to
do it are the difficulties. One thing is certain,
namely, that the average boy is too often neg
neglected. People do not seem to understand boys
do not know what to do with them If there be
but one boy in a family the chances are that his
mother will compel him to wear long curled locks
and quasi-feminine ra1ent, thereby making him
tho butt and laughing stock of his playmates and
turning his whole child nature into NORWOOD

A boy is not, after all. so hard to be understood

as a rule, honest and manly, and if taken Ill

sympathetic nor ungrateful. EIc may fight. if he

Only he needs training, bringing up. help
After boy leaves school he begins to be trou-

and cut them in thin, round slices, cover them with
boiling cream and allow them to simmer until the
cream begins TO thicken. Add pepper, salt if need

Just frown! yetait pressed u sting
Into the day which had been so glad;
The red rose turned to Il seamless thing,
The bird song ceased with discordant ring,
And heart was heavy aid sad
Just a smile yet it cast a spell
Over the sky which had been SO gray;
The rain made music wherever it fell.
The wind sang the song of a marriage bell,
And a heart was light and gay.
