OF course we all know when the
first day Of spring oomes-on the fret
day Of March, and we are all glad to,
for the long. cold. hard winter for
some people is terrible.
First we see the birds come back,
then the trees begin to bud. and at
last the grass gets green. We all are
glad when we can go flower hunting.
Well, as my letter is getting long !
will close. Your Junior friend,

THE SOUVENIR PosTALs.

No doubt some Of our colder" read
ers will not understand why we are
always sending out postals. We send
them because we realize tnas the
Juniors are delighted to get them.
However, we do not want the Juniors
to acknowledge them by simply
thanking us or writing receipt, but
we do want them to write nice lit
tie letter telling us OF their pets,
their home, the beautiful flowers or
something else of interest.

HAMBURG.
Dear Editor.

Dear Editor:
received the post card you sent
me few days ago, and think 1t is
very nice. It is picture uf Hamburg.
My grandfather Schumacher came from
Germany in 1871 and my papa was
just s months old when he crossed the
ocean. They came here from Mack
lenburg, Germany. They got on the
ship at Hamburg Grandpa says the
picture shows the harbor just like it
looked when he saw 1t last. It will
be SO years since papa came over here
next August
Well, as my letter is long l will
close.
Your truly,
Tressa Schumacher

JACK in THE PULPIT.
Jack in the pulpit
breaches today,
Under the green trees

Under the green trees
Just over the way.
Squirrel and song sparrow,
High on their perch,
Hear the sweet lily-bells
Ringing to church.
Come, hear what his reverence
Rises to say
In his low, painted pulpit,
This calm Sabbath day.
Fair is the canopy
Over him seen.
Penciled by Natures hand
Black, brown and green.
Green In his surplice,
Green are his bands;
In his queer little pulpit
The little priest stands.
In black and gold velvet,
So gorgeous to see,
Comes with his bass voice
The chorister bee
Green fingers playing
Unseen on wind-lyres--
Bird voices singing
These are his choirs.
Meek-faced anemones,
Dropping and sad:
Great yellow violets,
Smiling out glad;
Buttercups' faces,
Beaming and bright;
Clovers, with bonnets.-
Some red and some white;
Daisies, their fingers
Half clasped in prayer;
Dandelions, proud of
The gold in their hair;
Wildwood geraniums,
All in their best,
Languidly leaning,
In purple gauEe dressed
ALI are assembled
This sweet Sabbath day,
To hear what the priest
In his pulpit will say.
So much for the preacher:
The sermon comes next.
Shall we tell how he preached
And what was his text?
Alas! like too many
Grown-up folks who play
At worship In churches
Man-builded today
We heard not the preacher
Expound OF discuss;
We looked at the people,
And they looked at US.
We saw all their dresses,
Their colors and shapes,
The trim OF their bonnets,
The cut Of their capes.
We heard the wind-organ,
The bee and the bird,
But of Jack in the Pulpit
We heard not word.
Clara Smith.

Hints for the Housekeeper.

Do not scrub linoleum with q mop. The dust and dirt will simply settle more firmly on 1t until it Is almost i'm possible to get 1t back to its original freshness and color. Although 1t Is the hardest way. the only satisfactory way of cleaning linoleum Is to wash 1t with warm water and soap with a cloth. This Is hard on the knees and back. but the linoleum will be really fresh and clean and will look 1t if 1t Is cleaned In this way.
 If the surface is worn of the linoeum its life may be renewed by applying a coat of linseed oil with little paraffin wax added to 1t. The llnseed oil and wax should be boiled together and applied hot with a brush. After 1t is cold rub of the surplus wax which remains on the. sur face with a dry cloth and paint the lino- leum. This treatment will make 1t last as long as q new roll Care must be taken not to apply too much oil. as if the surface Is too oily the paint will not take. Nor should too much wax be added to the linseed oil or the llnoleum will not absorb it. and instead of sinking in and adding to the fexibility and wear ing qualities of the linOleum, 1t will re- main on the surface to be rubbed of with the rag. The hotter 1t is applied the
