SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
BOARDING-SCHOOL GIRL.

School catalogue generally suggest a
typical wardrobe for pupils, but the
thoughtful mother will find it necessary
to add to this list many articles which
will greatly add to her daughters COM
fort. A work-box containing needles.
thread, darning cotton, scissors and
thimble, hot-water bag, some simple
medicines for emergency use, toilet
articles, writing table, with stationary
pens, and pencils, should all find place
in the trunk. A few sofa pillows, some
cherished books, and a picture or two
may well be included. They will add tc
the attractiveness Of the room, and will
do much to prevent those desperate at.
tacks of homesickness which come tc
every girl at boarding-school. A laun.
drybag and slipper case, on which the
owners name is embroidered, may be
made by some thoughtful member of the
household. They will serve a usefu
purpose, besides being a pleasant re
minder of home.
The sheets, pillow-cases, towels, anC
napkins, which are required by most
schools, should all be plainly marked
with the owners full name in embroid
cred letters-not with initials-Fron

A PONY'S REVENGE.

A Pinto Cayuse had adreceivedgreat abuse
At the hands of a bear, big and brown
And quickly did go, for revenge on his foe,
To wolf of rough riding renown.
The horse said: "My friend if your aiC
you will lend,
The revenge could get would be fine
For I'd carry you by where your rope,
on the fly
Would choke him and make his life
mine"
Said the wolf: 'T'll agree, for plainly
can see
'Twixty the two the old bear we can
thump."
Then, well bridled and saddled, the pony
was straddled
And started right off on the jump.
So they went at lope and the wolf
coSed his rope,
And whirling it deftly around,
He soon roped the old bear, jerked him
up in the air
And they dragged him along on the
ground.
The pony just hauled, while the bear got
well mauled
AS he bounced and went humping
along;
And before they got through, 1 can vel
promise you
Old Bruin would sell for song.
The pinto was glad, since revenge he
had had,
And said to the wolf in his bliss:
"Unsaddle me now, and give you my
vow
III surely repay you for this -
But the wolf said: ''Not much! I've
never seen such
A fine riding pinto as you;
SO stick to smile, you'll be mine al
the while,
Or until such time as I'm through. -
There was no use to fuss, now he'd got
in this muss,
Andhe felt twas case hard to beat
For though he did squeal and twist, buck,
pitch and wheel,
The rough rider stuck to his seat.
The pony did pay. to the very last day,
Forthat one short moment of pleasure
BY spurs hewas pricked, with a quirt he
was licked,
And never released from his tether.
Now you can just bet, if frevenge YOU
must get,
It's trouble you're bound to get into
Just try to forgive and much bette,
you'll live;
So-remember the fate of the pinto

FORGET 1T.

If you see a tall fellow ahead of q crowd.
A leader Of men marching fearless and
proud,
And you know of tale whose mere tell
ing aloud
Would cause his proud head in anguish be
bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
Ii you know a skeleton hidden away
In closet, and guarded and kept from
the day,
In the dark; and you know that its sudden
display
Would cause grief and sorrow and life
long dismay,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you ksow thing that will darken the
joy
Ot man or woman, girl or boy;
That will wipe out a smile, or the least
way annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.

FRONT FACE.

| like the man who faces that he must
With step triumphant and with heart of
cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without fear;
Sees his hopes fall, yetkeeps unfaltering
trust
That God is God: that somehow true and
just
His plans work out for mortals; not a
tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world
holds dear,
Falls from his grasp; better, with love
a crust,
Than living in dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man, but does his best
Nor even murmurs at his humber lot:
But with smile and words of hope, gives
zest
To every toiler. He alone is great,
Who by life heroic conquers fate.

corner of the Warpath about the time

added that the Chicago Exposition cost

Autumn was dying in blaze OF

cioudless arching sky, against which
the green Of scattered frs stood sharp

Godfrey, justice Of the peace for the
county and now out riding circuit, let
fall the reins while he gratefully In
hailed long breaths Of the clear octo-
ber air. The nuts must surely DC
ripening.
From the woods on his left rang out
the merry voices of children, and in
voluntarily the squire smiled. In those
very woods forty years ago he and
Hetty had gone a-nutting-Hetty, with
her dancing roguish brown eyes, her
plain little calico frock and the deep

wretched ten years. Well, he had
come back and made success Of his
life, and the squire's frown smoothed
itself as he reflected on the prosperity
which was his. And Hetty had mar

not long after, leaving her with one
boy to educate and care for. She had
done it well, admitted the squire
srudgingly. But that young John
should have presumed to court his

scowl as he whipped up the old white

Power Of the Waves.

The power Of waves, says M. Brou-
min In La Nature, is the sum OF two ef-
forts, one dynamic and due to the or
bital movement OF the water particles,
the other static and dependent on the
height Of the center Of gravity Of the
mass raised above Its normal position.
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power of waves is diyid-
ed equally between these static and
dynamic effects. II a body Of water
meets the wall Of structure there is q
shock, and this is most violent at the
water surface, diminishing with the
depth. At the moment Of meeting jets
of water rise sometimes to very great
heights.

He proposes to place them all under one government, directly answerable to Mexico and the United States and believes that system would insure perpetual peace instead of the constant revolutions and international wars in which the petty republics have always engaged.
 This remarkable interview has created the most profound diplomatic sensation of many years in Washing ton and European capitals. While diplomats refuse to make comments it is evident that the proposition is re- garded favorably, and that coming from Mexico is regarded as feasible.

Second class mail matter be- tween the United States and Canada after May of this year must pay Q rate of l cent for four ounces or frac- tion thereof. This rate is the result of recent agreement of the govern ments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada at the demand of the latter because most mail of the second or newspaper class was crossing the line from the United States to Canada, and that country thought it was getting the short end of the deal.
