Later in the day I understood bet

standing on the summit of one OF the
hills that snuggle Croton Lake in their

rough tumulus of a shafts spoil-bank'
and near that the clustered roofs OF
camp that harbored 400 laborers. The

and south through the lakes water

where other hundreds of laborers

THE DAUGHTER IN THE HOME.

All too many mothers make the mis-
take of saving their daughters in every
way and allowing them to do little or
none Of the work about the house.
when this not only means increased
labors for the mother. but is a short
sighted policy for the daughter and
particularly for those who win In all
probability later have the responsible
ity Of a household on their hands
When daughters in the home reach
the age Of thirteen or fourteen they
ought to take tue Job of washing the
dishes, much of the sweeping and all OF
the busting Of their mothers hands.
besides being taught to do the plain
sewing and mending caused by their
own presence in the home. Many
mothers would rather do all this work
than show their daughters how, but
when analyzed this attitude OF the
mothers is usually traceable to a lack
Of pains. patience and true regard fol-
the daughters welfare. The average
girl is willing TO help If taught how L
do so and made to feel that the as
sistance that she does render is wortI
while.

A WRONG THAT NEEDS RIGHTiNG
The health Of Americans Of the fu-
ture would be vastly improved IL their
mothers-the army of immature girls
now in school between tho ages OF
twelve and eighteen-were to devote
less time and energy to Latin, French.

a great deal more to home duties, work
on the lawn and in the garden and to
other exercise and recreation out Of

aud strong physiques, upon which fac
tor chiefly their mission as mothers
and homemakers is to depend. Well
admit that this view will be consid-
cred a bit on the old fogy order by
some. but it is nevertheless correct and
one that will be given increased at
tention in the years that are just
ahead. There are several things to be
righted in the school system at pres
ent in vogue over the country. One OF
the chief of these is the turning of the

ly robust and able 10 take up the seri
GUS and responsible duties OF life. The
credit for the situation which exists IS
largely due to a system which makes
the curricula Of public schools conform
TO college requirements when probably
less than 10 per cent of the pupils en-
rolled will ever go TO college; partly
due to the blindness Of teachers wed TO
the system and stupidly ignorant Of
the fact that children at thirteen do
not have the endurance Of grown folks
at thirty, and even more. 1t is due to
shortsighted parents who through fool
ish pride allow and sometimes encour-
age their daughters TO overwOrk that
they may stand at the head Of their
classes. Those collectively and indi
vidually responsible should get theI
heads together and evolve a more ra'
tional system that will make it pos
sible for the girl-the finest and sweet
est Of Gods creatures-to develop as
he intended she should develop.

Tha Ernnoh Horn.

The French horn. or cor de chasse, is
regarded by some musicians as the
sweetest and mellowest Of all the wind
instruments. In Beethoyen's time it
was little else than the old hunting
horn. which for the convenience OF the
mounted hunter was arranged in spiral
conVolutions TO be slipped over the
head and carried resting on one shoul-
der and under the opposite arm. The
Germans still call It the waldhorn-

Acre, and Bible Letters.

It has sometimes been stated that
there are more acres in Yorkshire than
there are letters in the Bible. A per
son hearing the statement for the first
time is inclined to doubt It, but it is
true. all the same. Authorities differ
as to the exact acreage of the county,
one giving It as 3.ss2,S4S and another
as 3,7T1,s43. But the number Of let
ters in the Bible is said 20 be 1885,
