GOOD DOG SAVES BAD BOY
Epigrams EnIiven Address OF District
Superintendent of Schools to
Teachers.

Many bad boy has been saved by
good dog. 1t is a good thing to
bring these opposites together.
Tens of thousands of back yards in
Chicago are going to waste, and many
boys are going to waste with them. The
public doesn't realize the possibili-
ties for good or evil in a back yard.
Il wouldn't have a stuffed bird in q
schoolhouse or on woman's hat"
These epigrams by Orville T. Bright.
district superintendent of schools of
Chicago. enlivened an address which
Mr.. Bright delivered before the public
school principals the other day.
The lecture was illustrated by ex-
ceptionally fine stereopticon views
of birds and boys, used to emphasize
Mr.. Bright's theory that the boys
should help to save their birds because
the birds help to save the boys.
After he had thrown upon the can
vas picture of a beautifully colored
bird photographed as it perched on a
| bit of shrubbery in a school yard, Mr..
Bright said:
when these plants, flowers, shrubs
and trees are properly installed in our
school yards, the birds will follow, and
then we will be able to put into prac-
tice the principles of the right treat
| ment of our dumb animals as pre-
| scribed by the laws of the state.
This business of stuffing dead birds
for the purpose of making women
more attractive to men Is a nefarious
one. The women's hats are no places
for the birds which once have cheered
the world with their beauty and their
singing"
| Mr. Bright showed the picture of q
rear yard which had been transformed
into a veritable garden.
There is picture like" he said.
Il know positively that that back
yard has done more for boys than any
other one exhibit 1 can offer. Amid
the flowers and shrubbery there you
will find holes dug by the boys. They
make the picture more attractive. Dig
| ging holes in those surroundings is as
harmless a pleasure as we can offer
a little fellow. Every yard should be
made so attractive that the boys would
be content to stay there and just dig
holes
| Mr.. Bright exhibited the picture of
a tumble-down country school. with
a warped flagpole leaning uncertainty
from what once had been considered

erty pole," he said, pointing to the

WHERE POST CARDS STARTED
Mania for Pictorial Pasteboard First
Arose in Switzerland, Twelve
Years Ago.

It was in Switzerland that the ma.
mia for pictorial postcards first arose,
and all can well remember the as
tonishment evoked some dozen years
ago at seeing at the Theodule Hut the
excitement of a party of Germans up
on their ascertaining that they could
dispatch thence, via Italy, a sheaf of
views Of the Matterhorn, says the Lon
don Globe. If one may judge from the
very interesting collection of old AL
pine prints now on view at the Alpine
club, Saville Row, our ancestors were
also eager to carry away souvenirs of
scenes unlike any to which they were
accustomed and Of which the ter
rors and dangers were doubtless un-
exaggerated. And to the Swiss, who
were among the earliest to exploit COL
ored engravings, provided them with
material with sufficient spice of ex-
aggeration to satisfy those who stayed
at home. These they dedicated to the
amateurs of the marvels of nature,
and for them they crowded into a
single landscape a dozen Staubbachs,
and any number of aiguilles and gla-
ciers, with artists portraying them
and peasants holding festival beneath
them.

MAKING A HOT AIR BALLOON

ANY boy who will follow the instruc-

lifting capacity Of three pounds, says
Detroit Free Press. Some time ago
Mr.. Stevens constructed miniature
aircraft of this type for the amuse-
ment Of some boys at Chautauqua lake,
which scared to an altitude of 1000
feet and drifted a mile across the
swamps. finally landing in the
branches of a tree.
A balloon of this type when inflated
stands II feet high, but in reality Is
18 feet long, the difference being ex-
planned by the curve. The bag Is cut
in IA parts; each part is 1S feet in
length, two feet in width at the widest
point and tapers to point at the top
and to width of five inches at the
lower end. which forms the mouth.
The parts may be cut from a stiff
grade of tissue paper, first pasted in
long sheets and then cut out after

replied bitterly. slowly pacing the
floor. His sleeves were rolled away
from his sun-browned arms, his shirt
was open at the throat, and though he
wore the rough clothes Of a mechanic
he looked more the artist at work in a
rural studio than the canoe-maker of
the Tippecanoe. He walked to a win
dow and looked down for a moment
upon the singing creek, then came
back to me and spoke in a different
tone.

we were seated in the dining room.
Her sweet peas graced the center Of
the round table, and Sister Margaret
had placed them in a tall vase so that
| Rosalind was well screened from her
aunts direct gaze. The sister had
managed admirably. Rosalind's hair
was swept up in exactly Helen's poma-
| dour; and in one of Helen's white
gowns, with Helen's own particular
shade of scarlet ribbon at her throat
and wrist, the resemblance was even
more complete than l had thought it

steered for the open, and spoke in a

Pat should have her portrait painted
This was a successful stroke, for we
all fell into a discussion Of contem-
