Matter Taught.

The matter taught must above all
things be suited to the age. needs and
experience and understanding of the
child. In short teach the child re-
gardless whether you teach the lesson
or not.
Then again teach positively and not
negatively. Teach the child to be
gentle but by no means ever teach
him not to be rough. Teach him to
close the door quietly but never teach
him not to close the door noisily
Teach the child to be kind to birds
and animals of all kinds. but never
teach him not to DO this or that to
them. A child may be taught not to
steal without leaving the negative i'm
preston fixed IN his mind. He may be
taught not to lie. but 1t is not neces-
sary 70 leave the negative impression
strongest on his mind.
Then the child should be taught
concretely and not abstraetly. That Is

Japanese Aid in Astronomy.

Japan, which has surprised the
Western world by It's progress in
modern material civilization, is not
behind in some of the branches of
science which are cultivated rather
for themselves than for their utility
In everyday affairs. In astronomy,
for instance, the Japanese are trying
to keep abreast with their European
and American competitors, and it Is
announced that two Of the three most
recently discovered asteroids were
found by Mr.. Hirayama, of the OBJ

tinctively modern method Of photog-
raphy which has displaced eye OBJ

SEE NAKICURES and BEAUTI.
FIES TOWNS.

In the past few years the passion
for the town beautiful" has become
a national ideal. City councils have
taken up the work, philanthropists
have contributed fortunes, and civic
associations have put their shoulders
to the wheel. That everyone knows;
but what scarcely anyone knows is
that the movement began in the brain
of a quiet, unassuming woman in
Springfield, Ohio, says Hampton's
Magazine.
Miss Jessie M. Good was an as
sistant in the Springfield library, and
had been for sixteen years. One day,
in an interval of her work, she hap
pened to pick up a magazine and read
therein of how the village Of Stock
bridge, Mass, in order to attract sum-
mer tourists, had formed a local i'm
provement society to clean the town.
That was her inspiration, as narrated
with a wealth of interesting detail in
Hampton's. Clean the town! Why
should not all towns be clean? Why
we're dusty streets, Uttered sidewalks,
disfguring vacant lots, treeless high
ways and unsightly back yards neces-
sary? Why should not every town
have parks and public gardens?
Miss Good told her plan to the ed
itor Of a Horticulture magazine pub
lished in Springfield, and wrote an
article about it for him. The idea
spread, letters came in shoals, and
Miss Good and Mr.. D. J. Thomas, the
editor, calling a convention Of those
interested, formed the American
League of Civic Improvement. That
was in July, 1901. A year later, at
a meeting in Buffalo, N. Y, the
American Park and Outdoor Art AS
ISOLATION merged with the league IN
der the title of the American Civic
Association, which now embraces
every State in the Union.
Miss Good, who was born in Johns
town, Pa, is still a resident of Spring
field, where she has built up a large
business in the sale of plants, seeds
and flowers.

fall" is becoming a commercial con-
yiction in the West. An honest and
attractive package is the best agent
in any trade. 1t was this truth that
inspired the fruit growers Of Wenat-
chez, Missoula, the towns of the Ya-
kima Valley, Hood River and others
to organize their fruit growers into
unions. The apples no longer went
forth under the meaningless names
Of Ben Brown or John Jones, but
with the guarantee of a great and
wealthy valley. No grower was al
lowed to pack his own apples. The
associations did it, and did it with
conscientious care. Find a bad ap-
pie and we'll give you the car was
their confident assertion. Eastern
traders discovered that there was a
valley standard. 1t was no longer
necessary to send buyers West. They
could order the standard products by
wire. Ben Brown and John Jones
discovered that the surest way to sell
their fruits at the highest prices was
to standardize and get the valley
stamp on their box. But the union .
idea did not stop here. The associa-
tions set ost to educate their mem
bers along the line of their occupa-
ton. The unions make liberal use Of
the telegraph wires, and so make a
more intelligent distribution of wares
than an individual could do. They
set out to discover new markets. They
married the orchardist to the horti-
cultural schools of the State agricul-
tural colleges and made of a trade a
scientific profession. They taught
caution and conservation. They
showed that. though apple trees may
live $50 years. and though their val
ley lands were richer than the Asiatic
province of Shansi that has been
farmed for forty centuries, the orig
inal orchards of the Luellings had
gone into decay through carelessness
and neglect even in the virgin rich
ness of the bank of the Willamette.
But the fruit growers unions are do
ing most as a school of applied ethics.
They erase %jealousies and suspicion
and establish a trust and appreciation
of neighbors and a spirit of fraternal-
ism and patriotism.

The Odd Orange.

The discovery of humor in dumb
animals may sometimes " a little
to the observers Imagination, but Mr..
O'Shea, in his Leaves From the Life
of a Special Correspondent" seems to
prove his case in an interview be-
tween himself and a group of jolly
elephants.
"A young friend" he says, asked
me to show him the elephants, SO we
went with an offering of oranges,
which the lad was to carry. : But the
moment we reached the stable door
the herd scented the fruit and set up
such a trumpeting that the boy
dropped the. fruit and ran like a
scared rabbit"
There were eight elephants, and
Mr.. O'Shea, as he picked up the Or
anges, found that he had twenty-five.
Walking deliberately along the line,
he gave one to each. When he got
to the end Of the narrow stable, he
turned and was about to begin the
distribution again, but suddenly re-
f1ected that if elephant number seven
saw him give elephant number eight
two oranges in succession, he might
fancy himself cheated !and give the
distributor a smack with his pro-
boscis; so he returned to the door and
began. at the other end Of the line,
as before.
Three times he went down the line,
and then he had n orange left.
Every elephant had his greedy gaze
focused upon that orange. 1t would
have been as much as a mans life was
worth to give it to any one of them.
What was he to do? He held it up
conspicuously, coolly peeled it and
ate 1t himself.
1T was most amusing" he says, ito
notice the way those ELEPHANTS nudged
each other and shook their ponderous
sides. They thoroughly entered Tito
the humor of the thing"

A V~entriIoQUist.

Probably every one has see a
time when ne wished he could admin
lister rebuke impersonally. The
Springfield Republican pictures an oc-
casion when it was done.
The "grouchy" individual came
from behind his paper and glared
savagely at the woman with the cry
ing baby. Why can't you keep that
brat quiet?" he snarled. What's
the matter with it, anyway"
There was a dead silence in the car,
and then a pitilessly distinct voice
from nowhere in particular replied:
He thinks your face is the moon,
and he's crying for it,"
The surly one looked about with
a deathly stare. Every n was quak.
ing with mirth, but preserved a sol.
emn c~ountenance except the man who
was smiling out of the window at the
other end of the car.
There are advantages in being a
ventriloquist,' he murmured softly
to himself.
