A Happy Suggestion.

An amusing incident occurred in an
English rural church short time ago.
The minister gave out the hymn. Il
Love to Steal Away" etc. The regu-
lar precentor being absent, the duty
devolved upon good old deacon. who
commenced Il love to steal" and then
broke down. Raising his voice little
higher, he then sang, Il love to steal.
At length, after a desperate cough, he
made faal demonstration and roared
out, Il love to steal" The effort was
too much. Every one but the parson
was laughing He rose and with the
utmost coolness said:
Seeing our brothers propensities,

A Nature Study Magazine,

Messrs. Editors A very delight
full monthly magazine entitled "Boys
and Girls" has been published for
some years at Ithaca, n. Y, in ~c1le
interest of Nature Study. Each num-
Der contains several interesting
stories dealing with some phase of
Nature Study-stories about animals
and plants. For example, the Feb
ruary number has "Henry's Vacation
and What He Learned About Ami
mals;" and also an interesting story
about the oak tree, and an illustrated
article describing the life of the ag-
ricultural ant.
Each number also contains a cor
respondence department in which let
ters from children interested in Ma
ture Study from all parts of the
United States are found.
The magazine is very attractive
and is sure to be of interest to the
child and teacher. The correspond
ence department is especially inter
etsing since it brings the children
of every part of the United States
in touch with one another.
The price of the magazine is fifty
cents year, and if any teacher de-
sires to see it they can doubtless pro-
