the opposite side, digging his bare toes
into the white sand. He carried
bundle over his shoulder and looked at
the water longingly. Then he laid the
bundle down on the grass under the
trees by the roadside.
Cant we wade, too, mother?" asked
the girl-voice eXcitedly.

music through my mind and heart all

DANGERS LURK IN MUSTY
CELLARS IN SUMMER TIME

Attention should be called to the cellar,
which is a source of very grave danger.
The subject has been quite thoroughly
ventilated so far as keeping decaying
fruits and vegetables therein, but this is
only one source of the evil which men
aces. Yet, few go beyond this, except to
open the windows in summer, in order to
produce a change of air; but this open
ing of the windows gives only a partial
and slight relief from the foul air which
circulates up the stairs, through opened
doors or the crevices of closed ones,
through furnace pipes and between the
interstices of closed registers.
There is only one way in which to
properly air the cellar when the furnace
fire is not in operation. In late fall and
early spring as well as during the hot
test months of the summer; in fact,
whenever the weather does not necessi-
tate a fire in the furnace, every cellar
should be provided with a small stove,
one which has an undeniably strong
draft, and at least as frequently as once
a week a brisk fire Should be started in
this stove and kept up for at least an
hour or two. even if the temperature
outside be no degrees in the shade.
Arrangement of Dampcrs.
The pipe from this stove may be car
ried directly into the furnace chimney, or
even into the furnace pipe. In the latter
case a damper must be placed in the
pipe, close to the end where 1t enters the
furnace, so when there is a fire in the
furnace, this can be closed, and there
will be no draft down the little stove.
The object of the stove is twofold.
First, and most important, is TO change
the air in the cellar, to purify it and to
send the bad air rushing up and out into
the cold. or into the warm world. Open
wide the drafts and give the stove every
opportunity to suck in all the foul air.
Pure, fresh air will then rush into the
cellar to take the place of it.

Again, everyone knows that furnace
pipes rust, and have to be frequently
removed. This is owing to the damp
ness, which is bound to collect in every
cellar. The expense attendant upon
placing stove In the cellar, lighting
and caring for the fire, will be several
hundredfold compensated for in the
added length of time the furnace pipes
will last. The cost of repairing a fur
mace is not slight, particularly when the
tin man or stove man charges so liberal
ly for his time.
Get SCOT Out of Pipes.
And while on the subject of furnaces
let us reiterate that when the furnace
fires are out ip the spring every pipe
should be taken down and all SCOT
brushed out, the furnace should be
thoroughly cleaned, every spoonful of
ashes being scraped up an carried out
Of the cellar. If this is not done, they
will gather dampness and offer breeding
places for germs. Some people allow all
this to go until fall when they are about
ready to start the furnace fire, but this
is poor policy in every sense of the
world.
Another caution: Don't neglect to have
dampers placed In all your furnace pipes,
not only for the saving of fuel in winter
but also to keep the cellar air out of the
living rooms in summer. Closed regis
ters are not sufficient for this latter pur-
pose, so do not trust to them entirely.
The cellar should be thoroughly clean
ed twice a year. Open the windows
Sweep the walls, ceiling, and floor of
one-half of the room. Brush and clean
the movable articles and place them in
the cleaned half. Then finish cleaning the
remainder of the room. Sweep and dust
a second time. Wash all the windows,
and whitewash where necessary. Inspect
the cellar once a week and never allow
any animal or vegetable matter to decay
there.

exaggerated idea of the importance of
dress and society, and to make her mad
for pleasures that she can never have,
and to generally unfit her for the life
she is destined to lead. All that John
brings back from college Is a college
yell, and purple sox, and a bull pup, and
settled conviction that he knows more
than the old man. ~ .
If every girl and boy were certified
genuises; IL there was even a certainty
that not being genuises they were mad
for knowledge and were bending every
nerve and energy to make the most of
the opportunities given them, there would
be some justification in parents half
starving themselves and working them
selves to death in order to send their
children to expensive schools.
AS plain matter of fact, however, the
great majority of boys and girls are not
top-heavy with brains. They are only
capable Of taking a very moderate
amount of culture. They havN small In
terest in education for education's sake,
and the great majority of them when
sent off to college spend their time In
amusing themselves instead of improv-
ing their minds.
This being the case, 1t seems to me
that It is time for parents to use little
sense on the subject, and quit sacrificing
themselves to the fetch of their chill
dren's educations. The juggernaut car
of the college has rolled over enough
PROSTATE forms of poor fathers and
mothers and crushed them into the grave.
Public Schools Good.
The present admirable public-school
system of any of our cities furnishes Just
as much education as the average boy
and girl have the mind to, take. After
that the parents should hail from Mis-
souri,, and before they deprive themselves
and their other children of the comforts
Of life to give further educational ad-
vantages to boy or girl, he or she
should be re -uired to give unnlistakable
proof of unusual fitness for some par
ticular calling that would require special
training.
