Many mothers imagine their

to command q regiment Of pots and

bread, good coffee; teach them to
make garments and patch them when
they need It. Teach them physical

HOW ANIMALS SWIM?

Almost all animals know how to swim without
having to learn it. AS as they fall into the
water or are driven into it they nstinctivey make
the proper motions, and not only manage to keep
atioat, but propel themselves without trouble.
Exceptions are the monkey the camel, the giraffe
the llama, which cannot swim without assistance
Cames and llamas have to be helped across water
and grafes and monkeys drown if they enter it, Now
and then both of the latter species manage cross
waterways when they driven to extremites, just
as human beings occasionally keep themselves
above water through sheer fright.
n funny, though able, swimmer is the rabbit. He
submerges his body, with the exception of the head
and tail The latter sticks away up in the air, and
his hind legs make soap suds " as he churns the
water mady to get away But, with all his awk-
wardness he is swift swimmer, and is beaten only
by the squirrel among the land animals.
The squirrel swims with his heavy tail sunk away
down in the water and his head held high cleaves
the waves like duck, and in a rowboat has
all he do to keep abreast of the swimming squr
rel.
One thing that none of the land-living animals does
Is to dive. No matter how hard pressed a swimming
deer rabbit squirrel other purely terrestrial ami
NAL may be, it will remain above water But the

VISIT TO A HOSPITAL FOR DOLLY.

A dolls hospital! And why not? Doesn't dolly
often sustain both internal and external injuries?
And, when injured doesn't she need the assistance
of the surgeon? OF course she does And so it has
to pass that kindly disposed people have opened
hospitals where dolly may be cured of her hurts
if the head has not been snatched.
The writer visited a dolls hospital a few weeks
ago, and there room full of the poor, MANNED
things. About tables, shelves, and in boxes lay
dolls of every size, complexion and price. And what
a patient little lot of invalids they were! Here in
corner lay fine French dolly, with eye gone,
an unsightly on her piquant nose, and broken
ankle. Near this little French lady another
dolly, true American, with hair gone manned
hand, and two legs missing. (These members, how
ever, wrapped in bit of paper waiting the
surgical operation that would join them to their
wonted places again.)
But the saddest plight that of a dear baby doll
who had lost its cry. When pinched its stomach
the springs would not squeak therefore the little
thing had way of expressing pain anger, but
must lie shelf and be still And serious opera
ton would be performed upon her soon for the doll
doctor would cut her open down the back and put in
another srying spring or fix up already in
her body.
And that's the advantage of being doll Dolls
undergo the most terrible accdents-are pulled limb
from limb, hair from head-tO be put together again
without much trouble and no fuss whatever One
iaXen-haired doll at the hospital lay a shelf and
smiled contentedly, just if she were in rstclass
condition When the doctor in charge examined her,
she said: Both legs gone hand without fingers,
and some of the stufng out. 1t will take a lot of
repairing to fix her up in shape"
As L looked about the hospital, wondered how the
children who owned these manned dollies could have
been careless in their treatment of the helpless
things. OF course there instances where dolls
come to grief through unavoidable accident but in
most cases poor dolly is the victim of thought
less little girl And that is why the dolls hospital
was full of manned dollies in sore need of the
doctor and his astepot.-BrookIyn Eagle.

stormy, my father generally carried us in the morn
ing and we stayed at school through the day.
Our horse Charley very knowing and kind.
He knew well the way from our house to the
school that he was often trusted to go alone.
Often toward the close of a stormy afternoon my
father would harness the good horse to the wagon,
take him to the road, and say Charley, go and get
the girls
Charley would trot down the road to the school
house. would himself turn the wagon that he
headed toward home, and there wait till school
was out, when we climbed into the wagon and drove
home. There he rewarded with loving words
pats and apples. l glad to remember that
faithful horse always treated kindly. Father
refused all offers to sell him. and he ended his days
with us.-Om Dumb animals.

Mothers Place.
THE MOTHERS PROBLEMS.
BU Cora S. Dan.

So many problems to the mothers to solve.
They things that must be settled in some fash
ion, well ill; they cannot be put aside ignored
And after the settling they must be carried out day
by day, the children grow and develop in all ways
What are you doing with your problems
If it was only question of clothes-or food
or manners-or morals-but it is all of these and
dozen more, all the time, mother cries in des-
pair No, it is not simple problem, but very
complex one.
Yet there is a good thought to be kept in mind
We can take the questions they come; not in a
Jumbled mass, but one by one, the right moment
brings the golden opportunity for making the deep
est impression.
When child is careless, instil your lesson in order
Teach him, both by example and precept, to put
things in their right places. Do it pleasantly-make
the putting away of the toys part of the game as
jolly the getting them out. Remind the child
patiently make your popt and over, and in time
you will win.
When the little folks untidy, get in the neat
ness lesson. The mud pie is the acme of happiness
to the average youngster Let them have a mud pie
time; but teach them that there is also a time for
neatness, when anything else is of order and that
the two must not be mixed. Let them have their
fun in old clothes that cannot be hurt. Then let
them take pride in being neat and and dainty
when the time for that comes.
When the children in the working mood let
them help you, and learn the Joy of service. They
can do great deal to save you steps, and it will
do you good, and do them good to be drawn closer
logeher IN even THIS small sharing OF the household
duties.
When your child wrongs another in word or act
teach fairness Let honesty be held up as a bright
and shining virtue at the first hint of its opposite
Smooth away tactfully, with word or smile or merry
catching laugh any tendency to sukng or scowling
or falling into bad temper. good temper and a
sunny disposition going to be worth a great deal
to that boy or girl of yours in the years to come
Cultivate them both with all the power and tact at
your command.
Truth and frankness, gentleness and courage man
hness, womanliness-all the good things that you
would have your boy girl have in their make
uP-Put them there and cultivate them at the right
moment when the chance is yours
Let the food question and the clothes question have
their turn when it CONFESS but take the training
problems, and all the problems at a time and at
exactly the right time. If you do this, the whole
complex problem becomes simpler. 1t can never be-
come less important, or less of a responsibility But
II we approach it in practical methodcal way it
can be made a great deal less of burden, and more
of pleasure

Week DAYS.
THE SPELLING BEE.

What is that you ask me, sonny?
Has spelling bee got honey?
That it has, in truth.
Lots of it an drippin' over
From the lips red as clover

How we loved it, me and Mandy;
Sakes alive, but she dandy!
Always knew just how,
And the words that they were givin'-
Double jointed-land o. livin'!
Amt no such words now.
Mandy spelled me down completely
But l owned up mighty neatly
Failure to confess
SEE L: Dear, you spell like thunder
All the long words but L wonder,
Love, can you spell Yes?'"
Then she spelt it sort o slowly,
An she bent her head down lowly,
Cryin' happy tears.

HONOR.

The schoolgirl who borrOws is likely to develop
into the woman who is careless about financial obi
cations. " am not surprised at her running up
bills she cannot pay said of another
because l sat next her at school, and she borrowed
and used about everything l had in my desk, and
forgot to return them half the time
There is no worse habit than the petty dishonesty
of such borrowing The girl with fine of
honor will never borrow her schoomate's pencil
except from absolute necessity and will always re-
turn it at the first possible moment.
