OF the one kind word you gave.
Drop word Of cheer and kindness
In a minute you forget;
But there's gladness still a-sweiling-

Nine-tenths Of the growth that the modern
child under ten makes, he makes in spite OF
school, not on account of it.
Still abideth the trinity of growth - food
air, exercise; these three, and the greatest Of
these is food. He needs every ounce that he
will devour, and not one penny's worth OF
it will be wasted Don't bother about the
child. Just be sure that his food Is right
pure, sound and Of the best quality-then lei

a healthy boy are just the mere foundation OF
his days eating. Most animals in state OF
nature eat whenever they can get food and
until they can eat no more.

Dear NJ. b. Friends:
The poem is good one FOR summer va
cations by the seashore, because it can be
mem bered.
Sometimes the question is raised, "Are
the seasons changing?" Not in the order
in which they come, but in their develop
ment OF nature. Many OF you will re-
member how, years ago. the housewife
made special effort to gather wild straw
berries enough to make a pie for the
Fourth Of July. Now the berries are ripe
ten days or more before that date. In the
old days, instead Of rows OF glass jars with
lightning fixtures" piles of canned
goods and evaporated fruit, there we're
large stone jars filled with rich preserves
made Of the small fruits as they ripened
in turn, and including "high blueberries",
goose berries. highland crsnberries--all
put up in generous quantities.
1t may be little late for this recipe, but
some OF you may like to try it for change
RHuBARR PIE-One large cup chopped rhu-
egg and one teaspoon cornstarch beaten to-
gether, bake with one crust and frost with
white Of one egg with a little sugar added.
Well, we NJ. BIS have again left Aunt Madge
alone / don't know how TO punish you all
unless l write every week; then know you
would arise in a body and crowd me out
As to myself, have but inst finished house
cleaning. Did not really have the board OF
health, but had woman from near Blue
hill for two days and one from Ellsworth for
a day, besides help from good neighbor.
Now that we are settled, / hope we shall have
sense enough not to turn things upside-down
again. But that bathroom, with hot and
cold water, is fine. We enjoy it, tell you,
after years of scant water.
What fine weather after the rain. Oh, that
the rain had come before, so as to drown the
garden bugs. for they stand ready to devour
every green thing that comes through the
ground.
Had delightful letter from Janet. Her
pen is very busy in the many things she tries
to. help. Said she wrote in bed when she
could not sleep. Her whole heart is in the
big fight to keep the prohibitory law in dear
old Maine.
Irish Molly called yesterday. She is OF
ready pen, but has lots OF home cares Just
now. ! often have a sort Of reunion over
the phone with Are, Frances and Boney.
Aunt Martha has left Bartiett's Island and
settled at Lamoine. Hope we shall meet her
At our next reunion.
Mrs. II, Of Brewer. who wrote some time
ago, visited me last week. scolded her for
not writing again. She is never lost for
words. Let us all write, and see what a pile
Of letters Aunt Madge will have. 1 often
wonder how large our family is. DELL.

that city from Macao and Hongkong

crush the rebellious tribesmen and re
seat Sultan Mulai Hafid on his throne
Word to that effect was sent to the
French representatives by Raisuli. the
noted bandit chief.
He stated that if additional French
soldiers are sent all of the mountain
tribes will rally around the banner ui
Mulai Yin, the pretender. A holy war
will be declared and the result mus.
inevitably be a long and fiercely con
tested campaign.
II is reported here that the expedi
ton under Colonel Bremond, after des-
perate fighting, in which more than
half of the soldiers were killed, sue
ceeded in getting into Fee.
1t proceeded at once to the French
consulate and relieved the little hand
full OF foreigners who were holding
that inclosure.

will be safe until a relief expedition
can fight its way through to the Mo

The Globe admits the propriety OF
every effort to maintain peace be

we are certain that many, if not most
of our people, would demur to placing
