The 5ingoss in Canada are Just like the 1ingoes of America, or far away Japan. in that they seek to exhibit their pre5udices against the friends of their country usually at the wrong time
 Just at the close of the session of the Canadian house of commons at Ottawa. the other day. a resolution was introduced by . somewhat ultra British Canadian member, providing that whenever an American or other foreign flag is displayed in the De- rnfnion of Canada, the Union Jack of exactly the same size must be dis played with it. accredited representa- tives of other nations alone being ex- cepted. Ths< gentleman who intro duced this resolution averred that the stars and Stripes are over frequently displayed in the Dominion and that the practice ought to be called to a halt
 The minority had the discussion their own way. and let out their con- tempt for q majority they could not compel to notice their endeavpr One sensible member who appeared to un- derstand human nature and the Amer ican grit. said that while Yankee farmers. who are settling up the Ca- madam northwest, are given to dis playing the Stars and Stripes more or less on their first arrival. they grad ually drop the habit If any compul- sion were put upon them in this matter, it would probably rouse them to more frequent display than ever of the Stars and Stripes
 The Boston Transcript pointed out that the passage of the resolution could have given no serious offense, since we have such laws against the flying of foreign flags in this coun- try; and it accredits the government with tactfuiness in not pressing a right when IL might have jeopardIzed the chance of reciprocity. A desire to promote trade made the flag flying issue of small importance

A Niaht- cap Story for LittIe Folks.

THE WISDOM OF THE NIeHTcAP

There are more people in this age who take "nightcaps" than who wear them, and these modern ''nightcaps'' can hardly be considered a substitute fer those ugly white -friIIed caps which formed % important a part of the slseperss costume
 The Bristol Press calls attention to the fact that the quaint nightcap of tho days of our grandparents was not altogether a fad. Its use," says The Press. "was based on common cf2ns wfss speak authorftatively today. According to these medical gentlemen the nightcap saved many . severe cold in the head and they advise its use now where people sleep in cold roomsL This undoubtedly means that khs ntghocap win again como into fashion. and a good many who will welcome 1t for fts warmth and com- fort"
 The open-air sleepers all find 1t nec- canary to wear even more frightful headgear than did our forbears who slept in rooms the air in which was far below the freezing point. The fur mace and other modern house heaters led to the abandonment of the old- fashioned nighteap. and the result has been an increase of winter afflictions. The cold sleeping room is now con- sidmsd . promoter of health and it is not strangs the useful old nightcaps are being resumed by both sexes.

When night comes out of the east to spread darkness over the earth and send little folks to bed, 1t wakes up all the night-pTants and night hydng swift-footed wood-foiks that play or hunt and feed at night. And then Nobody's cats and Nobody's dogs and Nobody's chiFdren hide in sheds and barnss and crawl into boxes and creep under piazzas-seeking any old place to rest their weary limbs.
 Right on the edge of the evening Jerry and Boco saw that the Bunnys were out to play and to feed in the tender grass. so they made plans to have tender young rabbits for supper, and started out to surprise them, creeping around their feeding grounds noiselessly 50 as to spring upon them from opposite sides, and the Bunnys never thought that there was an ene- my lurking about. when these rogues jumped among them and captured two of the little rabbits while Mrs. Bunny and the rest o6 her family ran to the burrow for safety and spent the night in fear and grief. Jorry and Boco were all unconscious of hay ing done any harm. and they had a nice supper and washed their faces and purred thedr songs of content ment.
 when the Bunnys came out again to 1eed they were moro cautious than ever: and Mre. Bunny guarded her young constantly to protect them from being again surprised so easily; and the cats went on in the woods to spend another night, and to be more or legs alarmed by eyes, for to the in experienced the woods seem to be full Of them. It was not . great while before they both were alarmed by a pair of eyes that ahone as bright as cats eyes at night.

Chelsea, Mass, which was progress in9 well with . new communication gOv- ernment charter. does not like the new turn affhifs have taken which would make that city Wards 2s and 27 of Boston.
 It is not strange that there is sharp opposition to the plan. Ths Chelsea Record. in discussing the matter, says:
 Tt so happens that there are In this city . large number of men who live here, do business here and have their money invested here, who ere decided- ly opposed to being delivered to the city of Boston. They may not have as much of this worlds goods q some other people. but what they do pos sess they got slowly and honestly. Some of them have been here for many years. Those of the number who were burned out and re-establish- ed themselves did so because they wished to remain in Chelsea. If they had preferred to locate in Boston proper or any of it's wards they would have done so at that time.

The saby's Walk.

 On g bright and beautiful Summers MT Baby thought best to go walking
 away; His little white sack was well button
 ed in. And his shady hat was tied under his
 chin. One hand was tight clasped in his
 nurses own, The other held fast a little.- white
 stone; There hung by his side his new tin And thus he began his walks abroad He walked and he walked; and by and
 by He came to the pen where the piggy
 wigs lie; They nestled about in the straw ir And every piggy said. "Grunt, grunt So he walked and he walked and what
 do you think? He came to the trough where the
 horse was at drink He cried, "Go along! Get up. old
 Spot!" And the horse ran away with . trot
 trot, trot. So he walked and he walked; and he
 came at last To the yard where the sheep were
 folded fast; He cried through the crack of the
 fence, "Hurra," And all the old sheep said, "Baa, baa
 baa!" So he walked and he walked till he
 came to the pond Of which all the ducks and the duck
 lings are fond; He saw them swim forward and he
 saw them swim back; And all the ducks said was "Quack
 quack, Quack!" And he walked and Ihe walked; and il
 came to pass, That he reached the field where the
 cows eat grass; He said with bow, Pray how do you
 dor" And the cows all answered, Moo,
 moo. moo!" So he walked and he walked to the
 harvest ground: And there a dozen of turkeys he
 found: They were picking the grasshoppers
 out of the stubble; And all the turkeys said, "Gobble
 gobble. gobblel" So he walked and he walked to the
 snug little house, Where Towser was sleeping as still as
 a mouse: Then the baby cried out "Hallo. old
 Fowl" And the dog walked up with Bow
 WOW, wow!" And he walked and he walked, till he
 came once more, To the sunshiuy porch and the open And mamma looked out with a smile
 and said. Its time for my baby to go to bed.'' So he drank his milk and he ate his
 bread; And he walked and he walked to his
 little bed; And with sword at his side and the
 stone in his hand, He walked and he walked to the

A JUST MovEMENr.

The game and fish laws of Connec- ticut are violated more by aliens who do not know the law than by any other class of people. and it is not only a kindness but duty to instruct them in their rights in this country. With such an educatfve purpose in view, the D. A. R. of Derby have taken it upon themselves to distribute cards with the fish and game laws as well as the law concerning the carrying of concealed weapons printed thereon in Italian and Polish languages. These Jaws are so frequently broken by men whe cannot read or speak the English 1anguags that 1t seems the Daughters of the Revolution have struck the right idea in placing the matter before them in their own tongue.
