The new boarder had never been on

interest and delight I'M everything she
saw On the morning after her ar
rival she saw Mrs. Howe apparently
picking berries from some pretty green
plants beyond the wall, as she strolled
in the road.
Those are charming little plants"
she said, pausing. with her eyes fixed
on pail which hung on Mrs. Howe's
arm. What kind of berries grow
on them? Does it take long to fill a
pail like that?"
Mrs. Howe looked down into the
pail with meditative air, and answer
ed the second question.
Il should hope 'twould," she replied.
What kind of berries are they?"
persisted the young woman. Il can't
quite see. What are you picking?"
"'Tater bugs" said Mrs. Howe. as

No Children at Vienna Picture Sho,

Mo Children at Vienna Picture Shows.
VIENNA, AUSTRIAN consequence of
complaints that unsuitable pictures
included in the programs of the cine
matOgraph theaters of Vienna, the
school commissioners issued an order
prohibiting boys and girls in the pub
lie schools from attending the perform
ances. 1t is not suggested that the
programs contain immoral subjects,
but certain scenes portray fights. horse
play and similar incidents which, while
calculated to anuse grown people, are
not likely to exert an edifying influ-
ence on juveniles.
When similar protests were raised
two years ago the cinematograph thea
tiers revised their program. but the
reform did not last and the shows
gradually resumed their old character
The theater men now protest against
the commissioners decree, as the loss
of the children's pennies will seriously
affect the box Office receipts, but it is
not likely that their protests will be
of any avail.-Chicago News.

THE cHlLD's WRIST TELLS AGE.
Professor Rotch Says It Is Best Test

Professor Rotch Says 1t Is Best TEST
for Development of Mind and Body.
CAMBRIDGE.-Prof. Thomas Nor
gan Rotch of Harvard University is
working along the lines set by DR..
Macmillan T. E. Grossman to deter
mine the actual development of a
child's wrists and arms.
Doctor Rotch believes that there
should be an anatomic standard set
for practical use in athletics and in
the schools. Dr. A. w. George has
found the most practical and reliable
index of development is represented
by the hand and wrists.
Professor Rotch believes that young
children should be classified by their
anatomic age rather than their chro-
nologic age.
You can tell horses age by look
ing at his teeth, but in the child the
truth is to be found in the wrist" he
says. The formation of the many lit.
tie bones, that together make up the
wrist, is the index of the development
of the child. Whether his years num-
Der four or ten, the number of bones
in his wrist will determine whether he
is in reality '4-year-old' or a 1O-year.
old in strength of body and mind.
The baby's wrist shows two tiny
bones in the mass of cartilages; the
child that is just finishing childhood
to enter upon the next period has a
wrist full of bones," so to speak.-N.

Amateur Photographer Too Hurried. I

Amateur Photographer Too Hurried.
The great failing of the amateur is
impetuosity. He is always in a huT
ry swapping right and left without
regard to the lighting of the subject,
the point of view or the proper time
of exposure; and then he wonders why
he cannot get better results The
writer of this article has learned by
sad experience what many amateurs
have yet to learn, the wisdom of de-
liberation.
Wien you come to spot of beauty
in the landscape, go over to the other
side of it and view it from there. Walk
all around it until you have found the
most pleasing point of view. and if the
lighting is not perfectly satisfactory
at the time wait until the next bright
day and take the best possible light
for your picture. You will find your
self amply repaid for your pains by
the improvement in your work.
After choosing the best viewpoint
and the best lighting possible, set up
your tripod focus carefully and time
the exposure according to the charac-
ter of the view, the time of day and
the state of the sky. An exposure
meter you will find to be a great help
in determining the length of exposure.
A good one may be purchased for thir-
ty-tive cents.-Los Angeles Herald.

Work in Orchard and Forest.
The City of Mexico-The federal
government has opened forestry
school fifteen miles west of the capital,
in the neighborhood of the immense
springs of Santa Fee. 1t is under the
department of encouragement and Op-
Grated by bureau of technical for
estry. This establishment was first
opened in June, 1909. There are ten
students at present, but the govern
ment will increase the federal appro-
priation and next term the number
may double. The states of Guerrero,
Oaxaca and Michoacan will cooperate
with the federal government in the ex-
pense and the plant will increase as
other states come in line.
The course of study covers two years
and the graduates will be sent to va
rious portions of the republic to over
see the system of demonstration under
study by government officials. The
young men at the school have daily
work to do of practical nature in
the nurseries and orchards of the
school, so as to fit them for the active
employment awaiting them.
The bureau of forestry, through
Superintendent Miguel A. Quevedo
last year invited the governments of
the various states to cooperate with
the central government for the pre-,
servation of existing forests and the
replanting of trees.

What's the Matter With Kansas?

We ask for information. We have
not the slightest intention of giving Of
Tense. but, being not only curious but
also alarmed, we inquire. The vital
statistics gathered by the state board
of health show that 2.130 fewer babies
were born in Kansas in 1909 than were
born in 1908. Z. T. Fairchild of the
school census bureau in Topeka says
he is ashamed and suggests that the
automobile is to blame.
There is altogether too much CEN

while we applaud Mr. Fairchild's SEN
timents, we are not satisfied with his
explanation. They blame the automo-
bile for poor business in jewelry, for
lack of money for moving crops, for
the increased cost of living, for impair

and for nearly everything under the
sun, but we fail to follow the line of
thought which ascribes to it RESPONSE

We suspect that Mr. Fairchild. who

WHY JAPANESE GIRLS CAN COOK
They Are Taught That the Making of
A Savory Dish Is Fine Art.

They Are Taught That the Making Of
A Savory Dish Is Fine Art.
In mounting thread of steam from
a dish of her own creation Japanese
woman sees as much romance as in a
Whit of smoke in the Arabian Tales of
blessed memory. She certainly feels a
Joy that heaves the understanding of
commence mOrtals, for that is the coin
with which the gods pay the creators
in art.
Small wonder. then, that the simple
act of drinking tea has been turned
into something more than mere art
"a cult, sacred cult, with all its
spiritual and philosophical signiti-
cance Small wonder, too, that in the
Japanese dishes one often sees the
mingling and embodiment of so many
other arts. A dish of fish called koi
something like German carp. but
which, of course. is different-is
wrought with a touch not unworthy
of the master painting of OkyO. the
founder of the Maruyama School. And
no art is so pleasant as one that
brings about the apotheosis of life's
necessity into thing of art. And
eating and drinking are not only a
necessity, but a necessity that comes
to us every day. and usually three
times at that.
This is the reason why the cooking
takes high place in the education of
Japanese girls. 1t is taught in the
public schools; it is taught again in
the higher schools. To know how TO
write and read is great thing; to
know how to cook is greater thing.
