Feeding School {
France
Children in

I n the French city of Nantes the mu-
| nicipal experiment of serving noon
day meals to school children at low
cost was begun a few weeks ago and
has proved eminently successful. The
"cantines" are Installed in each nom
sectarian (public) school and are in
tended to furnish poor children with
hot and nourishing food In one of the
rooms of the school there is refectory
where the meal takes place At 10:55
the children are released from their
classes. They go into the courtyard,
where under the care of one of the
schoolmasters, they wash their hands
at the wash stands. Then at II o'clock
they place themselves in regular order
and walk into the refectory.
Each child before entering this room
gives a check to the master. This check
is given to the poorer children in an
unobservsd manner and without
charge and is sold at IS centimes g
cents) to the scholars whose parents
are more able to pay. Thus the chill
dren's pride is not hurt, there being no
difference between the one who pays
and the one who does not.
The meal lasts three-quarters of an
hour. Two OF the older children are ap-
pointed to watch over the younger and
see that they all secure their food. One
of the masters also superintends the
meals. The weekly bill of fare has been
arranged as follows
Monday-Cabbage soup. sausage and
beans.
Tuesday-Bean soup. stew, jam.
Wednesday-Meat soup, rice pie.
Thursday-No school takes place.
Friday-Vegetable soup, Goldfish, rice.
Saturday-Meat soup, sausages or
blood pudding, beans.
In addition each child receives half a
pint of wine mixed with water The
food is cooked IN the municipal free
souphouses, called fourneaux munich
paux. From there it is brought to the
schools.

Dutch Tree Culture

T HERE is. perhaps, no other well
| populated country in the world
which has so many well wooded towns
as has Holland, says the Chicago News.
Most of the streets and grachts or
canals have avenues of trees. Utrecht
has two rows of trees on either side of
its quaint canals. Its canal banks are
constructed as IL in two stories. The
lower story, almost flush with the water
level. is lined with warehouses and
vaults, while the upper story has
dwellings and shops. Both levels are
planted with trees
So many avenues of trees make a
Dutch town exceedingly pleasant, es-
pecially on a hot day. The foliage tenn
pers the glare of the sun and the vistas
of green are refreshing to the eye.
These abundant growths In thickly pop
ulated towns are highly useful as well
as ornamental It is recognized that
from a hygienic point of view they are
valuable to the citizens.
In Holland these useful services are
gratefully recognized and the trees are
carefully tended by the municipalities.
The cost of this care per capita in the
different towns varies somewhat. Last
year, for example. Utrecht devoted 81
cents (Dutch) to its trees for each in
habitant and The Hague 2S cents for
each of its 259.000 citizens. 1t takes
215 Dutch cents TO equal an American n
cent. About 10 years ago the annual
cost of caring for the trees Of The
Hague was 19 cents (Dutch) per capita,
but since that time many new trees
and shrubs have been planted through
out the city and new parks have been
laid out.
It has been found that not every
kind of tree will thrive In the streets
of town, for trees have many enemies
both above and below ground Gas
escaping from pipes underground is the
worst enemy of trees, because quite
small quantities of It are deadly For
this reason special precautions are
taken against the leakage of gas in
Dutch towns. How electricity escaping
underground acts upon trees as vet
has not been sufficiently studied TO be
understood. Trees Will not grow in
very narrow streets where the houses
are high; neither will they thrive IL
the pavement does not let in moisture
and air In sufficient quantities.
The best trees for street planting in
Holland are elnes and lindens, but the
elm is the harder of the two and
will grow where a linden Will not
Trees of these kinds reach a great age,
like the old elms along the quiet
grachts of Edam, one of the dead"
cities of the Zuyder Zee, which saw the
fleets of Van Tromp and De Ruyter
in the harbor of Edam-the harbor
which appears so tiny to modern eyes
that one with difficulty imagines 'the
terror of the North sea" anchoring
there. Then there are the magnificent
lindens of the Mallebaan in Utrecht,
which appealed to the French monarch.
King Louis XIV. Those lindens he COM
manded his soldiers to spare on peril of
their lives.

Good STORIES IN FEW WORDS AND BRIEF, POINTED POEMS
The Nautilus

Where southern suns and winds prevail
And undulate the summer seas,
The Nautilus expands his sail
And scuds before the freshening
breeze
Oft is little squadronseen
OF mimic ships, all rigged complete;
Fancy might think the fairy queen
Was sailing with her elm feet.
With how much beauty is designed
Each channeled bark OF purest whitsG
With orient pearl each cabin lined.
Varying with every change OF light.
While with his little. slender oars.
His silken sail and tapering mast,
The daunt1ess mariner explores
The dangers of the watery waste;
Prepared, should tempests rend the sky,
From harm his fragile bark to keep,
He furls his sail. his oars lays by.
And seeks his safety in the deep.
Then safe on oceans shelly bed
He hears the storm above him roar,
Mid groves OF coral glowing red,
And rocks o'erhung with madrepore.
So let US catch life's favoring gale:
But, If fate's adverse winds be rude,
Take calmly In the adventurous sail
And find repose in solitude

The Blind Highland Boy

He ne'er had seen one earthly sight
The sun, the day, the stars, the night,
Or tree, or Butterfly, or flower,
Or fish in stream, or bird in bower,
Or woman, man or child.
And yet he neither dropped nor pined,
Nor had a melancholy mind,
For God took pity on the boy
And was his friend, and gave him JOY
OF which we nothing know.
Her other children him did lovei
For. was she here, or was she there,
She thought of him with constant care
And more than mothers love.
And proud was she of heart when, clad
In crimson stockings, tartan plaid,
And bonnet with a feather gay,
To kirk he on the Sabbath day
Went hand in hand with her
A dog, too, had he; not for need.
But one to play with and TO feed.
Which would have led him, If bereft
OF company or friends. and left
Without a better guide.
And then the bagpipes he could blow.
And thus from house to house would go.
And all were pleased to hear and see,
For none made sweeter melody
Than did the poor blind boy

Mahogany Hunters

Hunters Of mahogany wood are men
of rare skill. The trees do not grow in
clusters, but are scattered throughout
the forest, often in dense >growths of
underbrush, vines and creepers and 1t
takes a trained eye to find them.
The hunter seeks the highest ground
in the forest, climbs to the top of the
tallest tree and surveys the surround
ing country. The mahogany has a
peculiar foliage which the practical
eye detects. The axmen follow the
hunter and then come the sawyers and
hewers. The hunter has nothing to do
with the work of telling trees, his duty
being simply to locate them. If he is
skilled and energetic his pay may
amount to $500 or more a month, but
he may travel for weeks at a time
without discovering tree, and, as he
is usually paid on results, his earnings
are uncertain.

and a bedroom or two upstairs, and

In some quiet street The stock dis

There are few canaries and nnnets in

attached thereto various advertise

The Soldiers Sacrifice

An incident In Indian Memories" ex-
hibits a heroism going far beyond that
of the battlefield. The occasion was
after a victory near Bareilly. and the
British had all day been driving the Sc
poy mutineers out OF the small hamlets.
The task over, weary. heated. and con-
sumed by terrible thirst, the company
dragged themselves to a we'll, the only
one in the vicinity. To their horror
they discovered that a number Of native
women had taken refuge in the well
with their little babies. The mothers,
overcome had sunk down to drown. but
had propped the babies little heads out
of water.
The captain looked at his men, In
stantly the tired. fierce soldiers started
into eager solicitude of word and ac-
lay huddled. shivering.2 on the dry
earth
Then once more the question of drink
and food became foremost At that
moment a faint tink1e. tinkIe, was
heard, and there came into sight herd
of milch goats, browsing their way
home They were not easy to catch,
but at last most of them were captured,
and pannikins were quickly filed.
Meanwhile the warm air had revived
the babies, and there came a cry Of
motherless and starving helplessness.
Again the captain looked at his men
soldiers he said you have fought
for and earned everything you have or
could possibly get this day. / don't
order you, don't even ask you-onIy
these children are starving"
The men gazed at the babies. Very
soon every baby had a big, bearded
nurse to hold it, and another big,
bearded undernurse to put the pannikin
of milk to its little mouth The long
drafts of rich milk were given cIumsfIy
but tenderly.
The captain drew himself cup with
pride at the thought that he had the
honor of leading such men as these.
