IE must be very sour and crochety indeed not
to make allowance for the fact that as
Spring draws near with flying feet, leaving
flowers and birds and budding branches in
her wake, Juniors grow restless with vast
longing to put "foot to earth' and respond
to the "call of the wild' as nearly as they
can knowing school keeps for ever so many
weeks yet. Still it is early for tramps
afeld, and like as not trampers will get
more colds than flowers for their pains; so
there really isn't very much Of a reason why
Junior writer's should be growing careless
about the preparation Of their papers, now

Seri Indians dig hole in the sand about
two feet deep, tie an immense knot in the
bottom of the hole. 1t is reflled, then
stmped upon till the ground becomes solid
and the horse is tied to hole. They have
a different way in Seattle. Instead of tying
horses to holes the men get in themselves.
So general is this custom that at times one

The public school pupils in Stockholm,
every three or four weeks, take progress
sive scrub to benefit their health and the
atmosphere of the class room. Three days
of the week are assigned to the boys and
three to the girls, ten to twenty bathing at
once. At times, when the conductors on the
Seattle street cars actually push passengers
into the cars, until they feel like box of
sardines looks, many are forced to wish
not that they were in Stockholm, but about
something in keeping with the public school
system there.

Joseph Cole, the worlds famous dwarf,
who was only two feet seven inches, died
recently in a workhouse in London. For
years this dwarf travelled with P. T. Bar
mum and was exhibited all over the world.
His mind was weak when he entered the
institution and he could give no account Of
his money. When it is taken into considera-
ton how much money the little man, whose
lot it was to pass through life the size of
an infant, earned, great is the pity that
among those of larger growth and broader
possibilities not one would shield him from
the pitfalls among life's pecuniary thou
sands.
