SURE GAUGE OF MANS AGE
Is Seen in Degree of Interest 1e Takes in Announcement of Open
 ing of School.

A man may gauge how old he is by the degree of interest he feels in the announcement that schools open again. If he is still young man, with considerable of the boy left in him, he will hear that boy ex- claim in some recess of his outdoor loving consciousness: Gee, that's too bad" Minds in which there is not the least symptom of momentary re- gret that the long and delicious va cation is over are minds which have long been engrossed by the cares of the workaday world and in which not even living memory of the TO- nance of boyhood days remains. As for the children themselves, they have our sympathy. Also the teach- CTS. For teaching an unwilling child is no child's play, and it takes some time to get the wheels of discipline running smoothly. And yet there is a great deal in school life nowa- days that is almost delightful. It is at least interesting to wide-awake boys and girls, and the progress that they make in their studies after the seductive call of outdoors has been forgotten is the best evidence that they appreciate the charm which comfortable schoolrooms combined with intelligent and kindly pedagog- ical methods have contrived to instill into our modern public school edu- cation.

TRUTH ABOUT SIR WALTER
Modern Version of the Episode of Ra. leigh, Queen Elizabeth and
 the Mud.

It was hot July afternoon an6 Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by her glittering household suite, was about to cross the highway, when her further progress was barred by n muddy gutter.
 Instantly the warm-haired queen looked around at Sir Walter Raleigh, and that worthy knight promptly stepped forward.
 "I'd be very glad, your majesty" he said with a courtly bow, ito back up the future story of the cloak epi- side, but don't possess such an ar ticle, and as a charter member of the Ananias society l haven't even a coat. Nevertheless, your Uncle Walt isn't the man to be baked by a trihing drawback"
 So saying, he quickly picked up his sovereign lady and, encouraged by the gay laughter of the court, carried her across the miry channel and lightly deposited her on the other side.

JUGS FOR FLOWERS.

The girl who likes few growing things around her, no matter how simple they are, should not bother about procuring handsome vases. She should take up the new fancy for using old English beer jugs. They are made in America as we'll as in England, and have all sorts of pie lures on them, from Westminster Abbey, in London, to the Independ- ence hall, in Philadelphia.
 The jugs are low and broad and have wonderful coloring. They come in purple, in green and in brown, and sell for reasonable prices.

MODEST GEORGE MOORE.

'1 wonder" says the author of "Esther Waters" complacently in ''The Apostle" just published in Dublin, eff Paul has ever been seen by any man as clearly as he has been seen by me-" He paints a fancy DOT. trait of the apostle and this is part of his picture:
 "A man of medium height, about five feet eight or nine, a round head covered with dark curly hair, short neck, square shoulders, long body, thick legs, with some belly under his girdle. His large luminous eyes often look into mine, and sometimes he appears with his shirt open.'
 The description is vivid in detail, but not, we think, in good taste; and was not St. Paul short sightedf From the Athenaeum.

INSECTS KILLING BIG GAME
Bulldog Files Attack the Moose, Which Take Refuge In Water and
 Arc Drowned.

Bulldog flies are killing big game along the international boundary, ac- cording to County Commissioner Helic Clementson. Two moose were killed last week near a-lumber camp on the east fork of Rapid river, and in his opinion large numbers of fine animals have lost their lives the last week.
 The flies, which are fully half inch long, are more plentiful than for many years and attack the moose in large numbers. Their stings drive the animals to distraction and in a crazed condition the rush through the woods, often entering log camps filled with men. They seek water and several have been drowned in attempting to evade the torment ing flies. A big moose was pulled out of the river twice last Thursday by lumbermen and the flies brushed off.
 The deer are more fortunate in escaping the pests and have not suf- fered very much as yet, but are hay ing their troubles from the deer flies. -Bemidji correspondence Minneap- oils Journal.

Issued by the Women's Imperial Health Association of Great Brit
 ain and Ireland.

Of more than passing interest to the women of this country are the following rules of conduct issued to "the girls of Great Britain" by the Women's Imperial Health Associa- tion of Great Britain and Ireland.
 The future of our country is in your hands.
 Look your best by all means, but be your best also; the first attracts to begin with, but the second pro- duces the most lasting effect,
 You must obey the laws of hy- giene, respecting fresh air, exercise, good food, cleanliness and suitable clothing. A healthy girlhood is the best foundation for happy life.
 You must know about cooking, housekeeping and domestic economy.
 You must learn about the feed- ing and care of children; this knowl- edge does not come by instinct, as many suppose.
 Remember that home making is the most dignifed and important profession in the world.
 Attend, if you can. Continuation classes" in personal and domestic hy- giene in your own house, remember ing that a good daughter makes the best wife.
 Choose the best companions and read the best books you can find. Ac- cept only the best men as your hus- bands, paying as much attention to their character as to their personal appearance. - Woman's National Weekly.
