Roston's Vocation Bureau.

from the Boston transcript.
The vocation bureau is not merely
proposed: 1t is in actual existence today
and in successful operation. Its execu-
tive office is at that well known social
experiment station, Civic Service house,
Salem street, with branch offices at the
Young Mems Christian association and
at the Woman's Educational and In
dustrial union. Already. in its first
month, it has done good service for a
lumber of young people.
This new institution is to help such
people to decide what occupation they
are best adapted to and how to fit
themselves for it. The basic idea is
that the choice of a career should be
carefully, and, so far as possible, sCien-
tiically, determined-that is to say, de-
termined after a full consideration of
the conditions, aptitudes, resources,
ambitions, aspirations or lack Of them,
and the limitations Of each individual.
Too many people are fixed in life by
haphaZard M merely temporary cir
cumstances. The consequences of al
lowing youths on first leaving school to
drift about earning q few dollars for
the family chest nov at one sort Of
office work and the next month at an
other kind of job, are recognized as
constituting a distinct and widespread
evil, at the bottom of much of the I'M
employment which is complained of at
all great centers of population on both
sides of the Atlantic. AS the vocation
bureau argues no n would think Of
building without a well considered plan
and consultation with an architect; and
in building a human career at least as
much planning should be required as in
building a house. At least the counsel
OF a wise and kind expert in social
studies is preferable for the young to
the drifting into any calling as the re-
suit of chance. proximity or unin-
formed selection.

50UAX, NATURES DISINFECTANT,
CLEANSER AND PURIFIER

Everybody realizes the necessity Of
some method Of publication Of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may lurk
the germ of a dreaded disease.
Health is a question Of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the use
Of disinfectants in their ordinary sense
all of which are unpleasantly asso-
ciated with disagreeable odors, on
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which disinfectants must Of nc
cessity be Of a more or less dangerous
~character) and must be used for this
purpose and for no other, and in conSe-
quence kept from children and careless
handling.
There is, however, within the reach
OF all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only an
swer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multitude Of
domestic cleansing and purifying pur-
poses-Borax.
Borax Is a pure, white harmless pow
der coming direct from Natures labor
atory in fact Borax has often been
called Natures Cleanser and Disinfec-
tant."
Two tablespoonfuls Of Borax In a
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes Of a sink, or flushed
through a d~Isease-laden drain, ~cleanses
and purifes 1t, leaving 1t clean and
sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made h~ygienically
clean and snowy-white, II washed in
a hot solution OF Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all pos
sibility Of contaglon II Borax Is used
when washing them. Pure as snow and
harmless as salt, and because it can
be used for almost every domestic and
medical purpose, BOrax must be cOnsid-
cred the one great household necessity.

Bostonian Appreciation.

From the New YORK Times.
DR.. David Starr Jordan told a story
on his last Brooklyn visit Of John Muir
leading a cultured BOstonlan up the
mountains hat overlook the Yosemite
valley. Muir said hat ne led the Bos-
lonian along devious ways, so that the
great, splendid valley would burst all
on a sudden upon his astonished eyes.
Finally, at a turn Of the road, the
vast, multicoIored panorama was
spread out before them. The Boston
ian's ejaculation was as sudden as
Muir could desire; but it was this:
We'll now, how can we get across
that damn gap?"

On one occasion, a bishop who prided

The Song Of the Skillet.

All, The Song of The Skillet,
with it's sizzling and It's spurts,
Is the sweetest that the camper wants to
hear;
The g~race-notes meet the zephyrs,
And the faint staCcato tones
Whisper greetings N the lonely anglers
ear.
The vesper shades are falling,
And the glowing embers shed
Their mellow light along the splashing
creek;
The whip-poor-wilI is calling
To the world a last goodnight,
And the skillet song. itself, is growing
weak.
The dying embers blacken,
AS they SINCE their grassy nest,
And the dusky twilight steals along the
shore;
The twinkling stars their ~javelins cast
To taunt the drowsy creek,
And The Song of The Skillet is no more.
