 A woman once said of fellow traveller: I'll never go abroad with Jane again. All she cared for was the shops; shed poke into the queer est little stores. and l could hardly get her into a gallery; actually left Florence without seeing the Uffizi."
 That girl may not have had the highest taste. but sine enjoyed herself, and probably got far more local color than the other. At least she was bet ter than the woman who brides her self on doing galleries and announces she did the Louvre in two hours-yct has no recollection of the Mona Lisa" or Murillo's Immaculate Con ception."
 Let the girl who is going to travel do SD sanely. It is not sane to rush from one noted sight to another until you sick of them all and have no thought of anything beyond a hot bath and hair mattress.

WHAT SPANKINGS ARE FOR
Short Ones Follow Small Offenses and
 Long Ones Great Sins.

This morning l got up hoping would be a good boy all day long and surpriZe the whole family
 Before breakfast I only got one short spanking, one scolding. and a box on the ear. which is pretty good for years old
 Mostly l get two spankings before breakfast, and sometimes once a long one
 A short spanking is for small mis- chiefs and a long spanking is for great sins.
 In our house it goes something like this
 Asking too many questions-short spanking.
 Not shutting up-short.
 Knowing better-short.
 Upsetting something that does not hreak-short
 Upsetting something that breaks long
 Playing with matchcs-lOng.
 Setting a fire near the barn-long.
 Bothering papa-scOlding.
 Bothering mamma-short spanking.
 Bothering the girl-box on the ear.
 There are more of them. but l do not have room to write them all down. Also not time enough.
 Sometimes it might take all day to write down the list.
 Most boys know it anyway. Also their parents.
 If boys and their parents under- stood each other better there would rot be so many spankings Not so many boys would run away to fight Indians and come to a bad end.
 A girl does not get as many spank ings as a boy which is the reason she is not as tough A girl does not have the germ of mischief as plenty fu as a boy does or they are small CT germs.-J w. Foley in the New York Times.

THE WEST AND CHILDREN

Denouncing mothers who neglect their children for social pleasures and the frivolous" side of life. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey. member of the board of education, declared before the thirty annual convention Of the Womans Christian Temperance union of the District of Columbia that the offspring of business women were oftentimes uncarcd for and were allowed to grow up like weeds to the detriment of the state at large.
 "A Washington mother who IS com pellcd to work for the support Di her children engages in the lines ot pusl- ness which are already overcrowded, said Mrs. Musscy. "A western woman of the same ability would take up a government land grant and go to farming. raising her lads and laSSles in the atmosphere of the country she continued Washington Herald.

The girl who had been something lof a globe trotter was discussing lplans with the friend who was to make her first trip abroad. Don't Ijoin the NJ. M. S club" she said I"Tve belonged and find it far too lextravagant in every way"
 The other girl repeated the initials lwonderingIy. What is it?" she asked

You Americans. she said, in her pretty accent, you do rush around so aimlessly. just as if you belong to a might t-miss- -somesing order. What happens? pot-pourri of impress ! e-ohns, and most dreadful fatigue. | Why not see just ze best, and what pleases you, and see it wellg" That is good advice for every Amer ican traveler-stay-at home, too. The dread of missing something" has caused many a nervous breakdown and unsa atisfactory vacation. It could so easily have been avoided by com mon sense and q less greedy mind blunt old doctor told patient who was starting on a long tour: Madame, take il easy Would you eat up everything on your table. just because it might be wasted? It is just as gluttonous to gorge yourself with sight
 Many things cause this injudicious travelling. Americans love to get the most for their money-:or one thing. If they are travelling with q conduct ed tour, they feel as if they have a rebate coming if they miss one item on the itinerary. Therefore, they rush madly from one engagement to an other though it means pushing them selves dangerously.

 It takes courage to he a discrimi- mating traveller. There are always the home people to be faced with their What! You didn't see that? Why. it's the most noted thing on your entire trip" And other travellers think you are hopeless unless you have hit just the exact pictures and ruins that pleased their fancy.
 There is more excuse for this might miss something attitude if you are spending the savings of a life time on a long-cherished tour.

UNCLE JAMES IS WISE TO THEM

This valley has the record for early though it is sometimes beaten to market by other sections which force nature artificially. The following tele- gram from Washington shows that Uncle James Wilson of the agricultural department is fully alive to what's go ing on and proposes to clip the wings of the birds who are unseemly early. He will try and give the worms to the ones that are entitled to them: The department Of agriculture has pre- pared for confiscation of any shipments of unripe oranges or other unripe fruit from Florida. Secretary Wilson. who has been in communication with the Florida agricultural authorities. an nounced today that any attempt to ship artificially ripyned fruit out of Flori- da or to process unripe fruit on its journey to the North would be the sig nal for government activity"
