He CAUGHT the Idea,

A schoolteacher of Bayonne recent
ly had occasion to talk to her schol
ars about the different spellings Of
the word "to." She explained with
great care the ways in which the
word could be spelled and the mean
ing of it, as spelled in the different
ways Finally, in order to find out il
the children had properly grasped the
idea, she decided to give a test.
Now, children, as quickly as you
can, l want you to give me sen
tence with all three of these spellings
contained in it,"
Hardly were the words out of her
mouth before up went a hand.

Vote on Vacation Question.

The summer vacation in French
high schools begins on Aug. 1 and
ends on the last day of September.
AS July is a very warm month, It was
suggested that it would be better to
have the vacation extended from July
Is to Sept. Is. The matter was put to
vote; $4,000 parents voted for the
change, $4,000 against it. OF the
teachers, on the contrary, only $500
voted for the change and $500
against it. On the assumption that
the teachers were wiser than the par
ents it was therefore decided to leave
matters as they are.

"Thy Will Be Done"

Yesterday, when l said, THY will be
DONE"
knew not what that will of thine
would be:
What clouds would gather black across
my sun,
What storms and desolation waited me
l knew thy love would give me what
was best.
And am glad l could not know the
rest,
THY will be DONE I say, and to the

OF unread years consenting set my

Day after day their pages will unroll
In shining words that prove thy love
the same
Until my years are gathered into one
Eternal, sanctified. THY will be done"

One of the favorite maxims of Gen.

to win. A blow then is worth doz-

Disease = Kidney Trouble Often
Fails to Be Regarded as Catarrh BY
Physicians.
Catarrh of the kidneys is very COM

as the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get better.
They never once think of catarrh. Kid
ney disease and catarrh are seldom as
ISOLATED in the minds of the people,
and, alas, it is not very often associated
in the minds of the physicians. Too
few physicians recognize catarrh OF the
kidneys. They doctor for something
else. They try this remedy and that
