Places for the Graduates.

About 10000 young men and women
just graduated from the universities
and colleges of the country are now
confronted with the question, What
are we to do in life? Quite apart
from the three old-time learned pro-
fessions' are new fields constantly be-
ing opened by science and industrial
developments. 1t will one day be
found that scientific farming has at
fractions for the educated man and
country boys who have received a col
lege education will not all rush to the
cities as they do now. Homely advice
to the beginner, but advice approved
by the test of time, says the New
York Herald, is: Choose the occupa-
ton for which you have natural
bent, or if you cannot discover this
an occupation that at any rate is not
distasteful, and be prepared to win
your way by probity and hard work.
There is no other sure road to geenu.

Good-By to the Cowboys.

Land Office officials tell us that the
young farmers of Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri and Illinois are do
ing most of the homeseeking these
days. Many of them have gone
through hard apprenticeship as hired
men" and they are tired of working
for wages. They want to get land
of their own, and, what is more, they
can tell good land when they see it.
They know the value of land that will
raise three crops of alfalfa and that
will turn out enormous crops of al
most anything under the magic touch
of water. In many cases the man
who has lived for years in the far
west doesn't realize sharply enough
the remarkable capabilities of the
land. He is looking for a snap
something that can be watered with
little expense. But the eastern farm
er is quick to see that almost any Of
such productive land is SNAP"
even if the question of water is going
to be troublesome for year. or two.
So it is the man from the middle west
who is settling up the Rocky Noun
tain states. In few years, says
the Denver Republican, the care
less cowpunchers and sheep herders,
who missed their opportunities, will
be working for the man from the mid
die west and wondering why Oppor-
tunity passed them by for some one
else.

Children and Stars.

Children and Stars.
Nature study, which has been trans
formed in majority Of cases into ma
ture recreation, has extended to q
great variety of subjects, but has
treated one important branch with
curious neglect. Birds and butterflies,
trees, flowers, mushrooms, ferns and
shells have their enthusiastic admir-
ers everywhere; but question as to.
the summer consultations. or the
planets which are the morning and
evening stars of the month, reveals
the fact that 10 persons out OF 20
can barely recognize the Milky Way
and the Great Dipper. Yet what
door here stands open to the thought
full mind! Night after night, over city
roofs, the great procession passes;
one need 60 but to the street or the
window to watch. What child who
has been taken out into the whisper
ing darkness of a summer night or
the splendid silver beauty OF win
ter evening for a star talk has ever
forgotten it? The names may slip
away, perhaps, but something's
sense of beauty, of mystery, of the
unspeakable wonder of the universe
remains unforgetably. There havo
been children with other star memo
lies. One of the prettiest pictures in
biography, remarks the Youths Com
panion, is that of Lyman Beecher's
children watching for the end of the
long Puritan Sabbath and the release
from constraint when three stars
came out" What friendly aspect the
early stars must have worn to them
all their lives, with the memory OF
their playtime signal! Nathaniel Bow
ditch, the mathematician, had other
devices. His son says that the ia
Tiers reward for good behavior was
TO draw one of the considerations, in
dots Of ink, upon the child's hand
Happy children, so to learn the stars
in shining hours! Happy stars to be
so linked with radiant memories!
Doubtless the stars may be learned
from books or named from pro-
fessor's chair, but the parent who
teaches his boy or girl even a little
of the beauty and the glory of the
heavens-who puts the sky into his
childhood-gives him a memory be-

Sunday Rest in italy.

The question of Sunday rest is be.

and commission was named some
time ago which recommended that as.
far as possible an uninterrupted rest
OF from 50 to 36 hours should be in
sured to all the working classes, and
that in case Of public services, the
men who worked on Sundays should
have one day of in the week by turns,
domestic servants being entitled to-
a half holiday a week. The law does
not apply to fishermen.
