Too Busy TO Make a Noise.

A Kansas City teacher of a kinder
garten was incapacltated from work
one day last week by the following in
cident. The subject of the lecture and
object lesson was animals, birds and
then more animals says the Kansas
City Star
"Now, children" said the teacher,
81 want each of you to think of some
animal or bird and try for a moment
to be like the particular one you are
thinking about and make the same
kind of noises they are in the habit OF
making"
Instantly the school became men
agerie. Lions roaring, dogs barking
birds singing and twittering, COWS
lowing, calves bleating, cats meowing,
etc., all in an uproar and excitement

Off in a remote corner little fellow
was sitting perfectly still, apparently
Indifferent and unmindlul OF ell the

Good Road Measures.

Two good roads measures are pend
ing before Congress. One was intro.
duced by Senator Latimer, of South
Carolina, and the other by Represen-
tative BrOwniow, of Tennessee. Each
provides for an appropriation of
twenty four millions, one third to be
expended In each OF the next three
years. The points in which the
measures differ are stated as follows:
The Latimer bill provides for the
creation OF q bureau OF public high

improving and constructing perman-

any one year a larger proportion OF
the appropriation than It's pOpula-
ton bears to the total population

No payment is to be made, likewise,

maintained and kept in repair with

Unsouqht Vacancies.

There is an unsatisfactory dearth
OF candidates for commissions in the
infantry regiments of the German
army, and there are at present va
cancies for 800 subalterns. The
cause of this reluctance to enter
upon the military profession is the
enormously increased cost of living
in the army. In the old DAYS a
German sublieutenant could live on

A Little Kitchen.

Those who write largely from the
inspiration OF theories still continue
to describe the ideal kitchen with
rocking and easy chairs and touches,
hanging book shelves and reading
table. The fact is that the ideal
kitchen is growing smaller and is be-
coming a mere cooking closet, fitted
with everything needful and conven-
lent and with the cleanliness that
comes from open plum bling, painted
walls and enameled shelves.
This is best for the woman who is
her own cook, because she means to
stay in the kitchen only while at work
and to sit, read, sew and entertain
friends ia other parts of the house.
When her kitchen work is do g she
wishes to slip out OF it, much as she
discard3 her gingham apron. If a
cook or general houseworker is hired
she would like the little kitchen just
as well, for the extra space and fur
nishing OF g larger room would be ap-
preCjated more if included in q small
separate room to be used for her own
sitting room, and which would give
her some feeling of having a home.
A little kitchen well appointed can
be kept in better order and cleaner
than "a larger one, which temptR one
to accumulate or set things aside.
The ''kitchenette" is a great step to-
ward making work attractive and
even possible for those who are not
strong. 1t ID also true that tinWare
is entirely unnecessary now in the
modern kitchen, and, with the excep-
ton of q frying pan and gem pans,
no iron or steel need be used. Fire
proof eagthen, enameled and proce,
lain lined utensils have taken away
great part OF the drudgery and have
made O small, tidy kitchen possible

arose on the appeal of a Londoner,
Miss Bertha Cavo, against the deci-
sion of the benchers of Gray's Inn

the purpose of being called to the

was no precedent for woman's ad-

Christ not merely heals the sinful,
but prevents disease in the strong. We
shall surely come short if we fail to
take him as daily food for our minds
and hearts. The assimilation Of food in
the body has its appropriate lesson in
making character. Only as food is di-
gested is its blessing experienced.
Characters are sanctiied by assimilat.
ing the bread of life. Real manhood is
made by doing Gods will. Taking
Christ into our lives, our deficiencies
are both revealed and remedied. AS
simila ton is a common law The child
assimilates the mother Artists, musi-
clans and students are nodded by their
teachers. Friends influence friends, and
Christ makes us like himself, as we
master his instructions, reciprocate his
friendship and keep his command
ments.-Rev. I. N. Dorchester, Metho-
dist, ST. Louis.
