done he is robbed of his God-given

The De,eI0ment of the Perfect Man.
For the development Of the per-
feet man we have a perfect model,
Jesus Christ, the man of Galilee.
Let me urge you TO think of him as
the perfect man, not only in morals
but in physical and mental manhood.
1t is stated as the pre-eminent fact
recorded of him during the eighteen
silent years of his life, HE increased
in wisdom and statue and in favor
with God and man, that is, from u
to 80 there was a Simultaneous de-
yelOpment of body and mind and
character.
If men of this type be our great
est need a common sense man or
city or state should at once raise
the question; How are they to be
procured?
They are not born, they must be
grown or developed
Home influence is the primary
force, but home influence alone will
not accomplish the result for the
very good reason that its oppOrtun-
tiles are not equal to the demand
and other influences intercept and
destroy its work before the process
is complete. The average American
boy spends comparatively little time
at home after he is ten years old.
Theschool only seeks to develop the
mind The Church seems to hold up
a true ideal before him, for about one
hour each week in the Sunday school
and preaching service.
But the Church and Sunday
school are closed about 1S4 out OF
1888 hours in each week

Martin has announced that he has
completed his arrangements to put
into operation his plan for the crea-
ton of travelling schools for the in
struction of farmers in horticulture
arbor culture, poultry, farming and
dairy work.
These schools will be large vans
which will travel from place to place
equipped with maps, books, dia-
grams pamphlets for distribution
and chemical apparatus for demon
stration. They will be modelled up,
on the New York State plan, the
work being done under the farmers
institute division, it being, in fact,
farmers school on wheels. The first
four wagons are almost ready and
will be placed in the congressional
district comprising Montgomery and
Chester counties. The address will
be delivered at separate meetings
from the wagons their routes being
announced and advertised before
hand.
A complete corps Of instructors
has been selected for the first wagons
among whom are some Of the most
learned men in the country. If the
plans of Secret,ry Martin are real
lied there will be tour through
every agricultural section of the

Every family should have cur
few which should positively "ring
to night" and every night if needed.
These curfews are inexpensive and
home made. Take u piece of thin
board two feet long aud whittle one
end down for a handle; then take
the child that needs the curfew and
bend him over barrel. Now take
the piece of siding in hand and use
it for a clapper. Put it on hot. Di-
vide the strokes evenly and see that
none miss. Good for a boy or a girl
up to the age of l6, and applications
are warranted to cure the most pro-
nounced case of steret walking that
exists. The music that the curfew
makes is finer than signing, "Where

Postal officials are greatly inter
ested in the several inovations to be
adopted by the department at the
suggestion of the postmaster general
and which he will ask of Congress
Immediately after it c0nvenes. All
of the new schemes he has devised
will be of direct benefit to the public
and it is believed by those who are
conversant with postal affairs that
Legislation will be quickly enacted to
put the new plans into execution.
About the first experiment to be
tiled will be the stamp.vending ma
chine, much like those already in
use in Germany, These are to be
put in public places such as railroad
stations, hotels, stores etc., where
people can place their money in the
slot, push the plunger and obtain
the required denomination and also
amount of stamps. 1t is likely that
the machine will first be tried i'm
Washington, Philadelphia and New
York and if thep prove success in
these places they will be installed in
towns and cities all over the country.
From this one Innovation it is thought
that the postal revenues will be
largely increased.
A limited parcels-post system is
also to inaugurated which will per
nit the carrying of parcels weighing
from seven to ten pounds. The pub
lie is demanding the parcels post and
will be satisfied to have it in limi-
ted form as there is no likelihood of
it being adopted i'm the same broad
and liberal manner as il is in force
in foreign countries.
The postal savings bank is clever
scheme and if established, will per

ings by buying postal orders, paya-

this it would appear that -
pie prefer Uncle Sam for their bank
er, although he pays. no interest,
rather than trust their savings to
bauks. The amount Of deposits to
be made by any one person will be
limited. If the epostal sank is adopt
ed, then it is probable that a resump-
ton of the issue of postal orders linn
tied 10 3d. or S.. 90 will take place
but these will be made payable to

Be regular and punctual in attendance.
Keep garden orderly, Keep record

furnish excuse from parent or teacher.
If any one repeatedly breaks these
rules his relation with the school will

Saturday morning one hour each peri
od They will work in the gardens
through the summer vacation. If
pupil is absent, a substitute is sent.
Badges or pins of green and white are
worn, telling garden, number and time
of class. Notebooks are kept record
ing the temperature, attendance, date.
time of planting, plan of garden and
any other notes they care to record.
When insects are found or birds
heard, questions are asked and notice
taken of their habits, etc. During the
summer children will be taken In sslall
groups on short walks to hear the
voices of nature. The children already
give advice to parents, telling them the
best methods for planting cucumbers
and beans and setting out tomato
plants. The parents and friends take
much interest visiting the garden
while the children work, helping to
keep their notes correctly and the gar
den In good order. The WOman's club
pays the expenses and has the busi

have taken up the work In a most
