Labradors Short Summer.

How brief is the summer on the
highlands of Labrador! says Hesketh
Prichard in the Wide World. Snow
does not melt till July. then with a
rush midsummer comes. Grasses and
leaves grow almost visibly, the wild
cotton soon filings out its little white
pennons, millions Of berries rtpen on
the ground, the loon cries, the ptarmi-
gan calls, and you may even see a
butterfly balancing IN the warm wind.
But then also wakens the countless
army of hunchbacks, lean and gray
mosquitoes, piping blithely for blood
So summer Teigns. Then suddenly
one day at the end Of August. after the
sun has sunk behind the barren crags
through a balmy warmth of evening,
one may wake up to find everything
transhgured and the first snow Of an
other season already falling.

A Paper WASHING,

On warm summer mornings when
It is too hot to enjoy violent plays and
you are looking for something new to
do try putting out lot Of paper
clothes to dry. The clothes are cut
from stiff white, brown or striped
paper or any sort of paper which
would look like clothes that are being
washed. You may cut out any sort
of garment that you like, but remem-
Der that it must be cut out so that
it looks as if the arms were hung up
to the line. The clothesline is made
of cord and hung from one small
upright post to another Anything
which will stand up will do for the
posts which are to hold the lines.
When the clothes are pinned up on the
line they look very funny, and it is
interesting to see how many different
sorts of garments you can cut from
the paper in this fashion.

The Exceptional Young Man.

The exceptional young man, says
Orison SWEET Marden in Success Maga-
zine, is the one who looks upon his
employers interests as he would his
own, who regards his vocation as an
opportunity to make a man of himself.
an opportunity to show his employer
the stuff he is made of, and who is al
ways preparing himself to fill the posi-
ton above him.
. The exceptional young man is the one
who never says. 81 was not paid to do
that" 81 don't get salary enough to
work after hours or to take 80 much
palms." He never leaves things half
done, but does everything to a finish,
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust
ness, who reads its literature, who is
on the watch for every improvement
which others in the same line have
adopted and which his employer has
not, who is always improving himself
during his spare time for larger things

FOR The CHILDREN
How to Give a Birthday PARTY.

Every one has a birthday so here
is a good plan to follow when you give
a party on your birthday. First write
the invitation neatly and send them
out about two weeks before the party.
On the morning of the occasion you
should decorate the house with holly,
mistletoe, house plants, such as ferns,
palms, etc, if your party be in winter;
In fall, autumn leaves and chrysanthe-
NUNS, house plants; in spring and sum-
mer, wild flowers. When your friends
arrive welcome them and make them
acquainted with one another. then
lead them into a sitting room or parlor
and give each a chair. You could then
play some games.
II you have many guests at your
party have ice cream, cake, candy, ba-
nanas and fruit in summer; in win
ter have hot chocolate, cake, candy,
bonbons and fruit. Give each person
a fancy paper napkin as a souvenir of
the occasion. Have a large room ready
for dancing. Before departing songs
and instrumental selections could be
given by your guests.

a PLAYFUL Wolf.

Wolves carry off children out on the
frontiers of civilization sometimes, but
in New York some children turned the
thing around and came near carrying
off the wolf. He was a big gray wolf,
and he had been kept in private me-
nagerie in the suburb where the chill
dren live. Mr.. Wolf got out of his cage
and ran away and then came upon a
group of children playing in the dust.
Wolves like to play in the dust, too,
and so this wolf was not at all offend
ed when the children dragged him into
their play. They thought that he was
a street dog, and he did not tell them
what he really was. He let the chill
dren pull his tail and push him about
and feed him candy, and he was hav-
ing royal good time when his owner
came along and captured him.

bears cu~ious inscription, the origin
of which y ascribed to chance re-

Some 200 years or so ago master
workman was employed to repair and
put in a new face upon the clock.
When his work was nearly done he
asked the benchers for an appropriate
motto to carve upon the base. They
promised to think of one. Week after
week he came for their decision, but

A Queer Kind of Bank.

Old Jacob Zeis. who lived a hermits

was not seen by his neighbors for a
long time, and an investigating farmer
found him in his bed dead and on
table a note saying that he had been
taken i'll and could not go for a doc
tor. In the note there was mention
of hoard of money in the cellar of
the shanty where he lived
The coroner and several neighbors
made a search for the money and
found it cunningly hidden. There was
an old oak log in dark corner of the
cellar, and in the log were holes so
we'll plugged with original wood that
the log looked whole. Under the plugs
were found gold coins, and $500 in all
was taken from the queer bank and
turned over to the county authorities

Fruit and Old Age.

Psychologists claim that growth from
infancy to old age is a process Of grad
ual ossification and that the stiffness
Of age is caused by the deposits Of cal
careous matter or earthly salts. There
fore a diet containing large proper
ton of these salts, food rich in nitro
gen, such as the cereals, beans, peas
and meat, increases the natural tend
ency to ossification, says Health. For
this reason a diet made up largely Of
fruit, which contains a minimum
amount of this calcareous matter, is
scientifically best adapted to persons in
advancing years. Large eaters add to
the liability of ossific deposits from
overworking the eliminating organs by
an excess of nutritive material until
their healthful activity is destroyed,
and the whole system suffers in conse-
quence. Old age indicates less food
and a maximum amount of fruit as the

Ranna of Rachel,a Noica.

German Emperor William l., has left
some curious notes upon Rachel, of
whom he was a great admirer. These
have been quoted in a lecture upon
the famous actress. The prince stud
led her elocution from a musical stand
point and took down notes Of her
voice as she delivered some Of her
most effective speeches. He found,
for instance, that in a passage Of
Racine's "Bajazet" she went down to

and a boy stands behind her chair.
Suppose there were sixteen boys pres

boy would stand behind an empty
chair. All the girls must look at the
sixteenth boy. The one he winks at
must jump up Qf she can get away
from the person behind her chair) and
sit in the empty one. Then the boy
behind her former chair must wink at
