A gasoline launch that cost $4,000 was
burned at Escanaba through the ignition
of gasoline which surrounded the yacht
on the surface of the water. The danger
of leakages on the water has been dem

the East, through careless throwing of
matches, and owners of launches will
not be absolutely safe unless they take
particular pains to guard against leak

Chicago's receipts for fines collected
for violations of the law in regard TO
honest weights aggregated S4310 dur
irg, the past six months, as against
S1555 during the corresponding part of
1907. Chicago is probably not growing
more wicked in respect to weights, but
the inspectors are evidently paying more
attention to the scales. The crime of
cheating with the scales is general. and
inspectors everywhere should emulate
their Chicago brethren.

GHILDLESS WOMEN SHOULD
... ADOPT A LITTLE ONE

The woman who has NO children
never knows the greater Joy Of devo-
ton. Her sympathies instead Of ex-
tending themselves, will narrow more
and more, and tend to. concentrate
themselves upon the merely pleasur-
able experiences and sensations which
only lead souls about in their own
labyrinthine domain. She may win
personal distinction and high fame.
She may surely deserve them, but she
will be in danger Of following the
false way which begins and ends in
self. says Julia Ward Howe in the
May Delineator. II the fates deny her
marriage, or leave it bare OF offspring,
let it win to her arms some mother
less child, and study the lesson taught
by the dear Christ when he placed
child before his disciples and bade
them learn from him the great science
OF life.
The beauty of childhood is not cas-
lily misrepresentation mobile coun-
tenance, the flexible muscles, the fair,
smooth forehead, the unconscious
grace of movement. What a lovely
presence is this! 1t illuminates your
whole house, be it hovel or a palace.
The babe newly born, so fine, so soft.
so tender! BY degrees it enters into
possession of its bodily powers. Soon
he follows her about, walks beside
her. begins to question her regarding
the meaning of all he sees. He learns
to pray at her knee. He goes to school.
All the way from infancy to adolese-
cence is strewn with flowers. 1t has
no doubt an Offset of anxieties and
cares. but would any of us dream of
giving up the rose because of its
thorns?

EIGHT HOUR DAY URGED BY
GOVERNOR FOR CHILDREN

Urging the adoption of he eight
hour work day for ALI children under
16 years, the governor OF Massachu-
sets suggests that a certificate OF
health be required before any child is
sent to work. His reasons are stated
thus: THE epileptic boy must be
kept from the elevator: The tubercu-
losis child must be kept from the en-
cry wheel and the cotton card. The
child with spinal weakness must be
kept from employment where the
backless bench or the wooden chair

HEAR AMERICA SINGING.

HEAR AMERICA SINGING.
II hear America singing, the varied
carols hear,
Those Of mechanics, each one singing
his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he meas
ures his plant or beam.
The mason singing his as he makes
ready for work, or leaves on work,
The boatman singing what belongs to
him in his boat, the deckhand sing
ing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits
on his bench, the halter singing as
he stands,
The wood cutters song, the plough
boys on his way in the morning,
or at noon intermission or at sun-
down,
The delicious singing of the mother;
or the young wife at work, or of
the sweet girl sewing or washing.
Each singing what belongs to him or
her and to no one else,
The day what belongs to the day
at night the party of young fellows,
robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong
melodious songs"-Walt Whitman
Practically everybody sings. Some

erybody sings From the rudest saw
age to the most highly cultured among
civilized peoples, some kind of sing
ing is to be heard Music may be
called the universal language of man

~ Even the miner, while clankng
his chains, sings as he lightens his la
Dor, with untaught music; he too sings

drags the slow barge against the
stream"-Ovid.
The world owes much to this "un-
taught music" for it adds so much to
the happiness, peace and power of a
people. 1t would be of interest and
profit to study the significance of the
''untaught song, which. like Topsy,
jes' growed' but for now, we are con-
cerned chiefly with singing as it is
done where we are and as we hear it,
in the home. the concert hall or the
church.
''The habitual use of vocal music
by a family Is an almost unfailing
sign of good morals and refined
taste''-Landon.
. This singing "in the family" is not
always, upon analysis, the most beau
tiful and artistic and it should be i'm
proved as much as possible. However,
as it is, crude and unstudied, it serves
noble purpose and ought to be en-
couraged. 1t usually contains the
very qualities which alas! are too Of
ten lacking in the EFFORTS of So
called cultivated singers, viz: hon
esty, naturalness, unselfishness, heart,
and such like.
What is the great purpose of music? ?
Ruskin says 1t is "to say thing that
you mean deeply in the strongest and
clearest possible way" Ye players
upon instruments and singers! Have
ye long and lovingly looked for and
found the composers message? Have
ye made that message your own and
meant it deeply" and delivered it IN
the strongest and clearest possible
way?" II not, ye have not worked
out the great purpose Of music. How
many times has q player or singer,
ignorant Of the composers purpose
or consciously for his own ends, used
. beautiful piece Of music for selfish
purposes Of his own. TO show or .
certain skill Instead Of serving the
composer and the people BY deliver
ing TIE message IN the music! Thus

they seem natural. Formerly there
was no other way TO stop a roof when
builder got beyond the end OF the
house
AT first the roof ends were left open.
but pioneers in house building learned
to iill the three-cornered space with
logs chopped slanting at the ends to
conform to the general slope of the
roof, and a few generations later they
plastered the chinks full OF clay mud
to keep out the snow and most Of the
wind.

] always entertain a feeling of respect
for the builder. 1t shows an ingenious
attempt as well as the right disposi-
tion to make the best possible use Of
the materials available, and often
think there is more skill required to
build a house under such rough condi-
tions with the tools at hand than in
the building of fine houses under mod
ern city conditions with all the diff
ferent kinds of patent improvements
to draw upon.
We have now almost an endless va
riety of house designs, most of which
are born Of a desire to have something
new, which is all right, because new
