The College Club was very
delightfully."- entertained at the beau
tiful home of Mrs. Charles 4. Walter
at Lyndon last Wednesday after
noon. Several of the college women
from Lyndonville were present and
over 20 from St. Johnsbury. The
guests from here were taken up in
autos. The hostesses were Mrs.
Charles T. Walter, her two daugh-
ters, Misses Dorothy and Elizabeth,
and Mrs. Herbert Walter of Provi-
dence, r. l. After all the guests had
arrived and a little social time had
been enjoyed an interesting pro-
gram was carried out. This consist
ed of:
Music, for piano and violin, Miss
Elizabeth Walter, Howard Weather

Address, ''The Relation of Nature
Study to Life" Miss Alice w. Will
cox
Music, Rainbow" HavIey; 81
Can't Help Loving YOU" Clayton
Johns, Mrs. p. f. Hazen.
Address, "A Brief Review of the
Study of ORTHODOXY in the United
States" Mrs. Herbert Walter.
Miss Wilcox developed her sub
Ject with reference to the work of
the Fairbanks Museum of Natural
Science, stating some of the ways
in which she hoped to present ma
ture study to the children. She
showed how nature study had had
its origin in earliest times when man
had to study animals and plants to
be able to protect himself from them
and to use them for food. Later
some species were chosen to be dom
esticated, thus making them much
more available and useful The in
terest in the living organisms
around us has been increasing more
and more ever since the value of
such study to the betterment of hui
man life has been realized. Long
ago primitive man learned how to
protect himself from the savage
beasts and poisonous weeds, and to
avail himself of the use of the help
full plants and animals; today, man
is still learning to distinguish be-
tween the harmful and helpful, but
with the difference that it is the tiny
organism that must now be dealt
with, the bacteria, and disease
germs. We can still find practical
help from watching more closely
the larger animals around us, too,
for the great improvements on flying
machines are due to the knowledge
gained from studying the flight of
birds. Miss Wilcox closed her re-
marks with a plea to the members
of the College Club to- do all that
they could to further the influence
of the Museum work.
Study of OrnithoIOgy
Mrs. Walter in her talk on ornith-
ology said that birds had been adj
mired for a very long time. AL
though there are not many reference
es to them in the earliest writings,
still when they are spoken of it
shows that they were of universal in
terest. She then spoke of the pains
taking, valuable, yet at that time I'M
appreciated work of the great bird
lover, John James Audubon, the
first person to devote his life to the
study of our ''feathered friends" 1t
was many years after this that there
was any universal interests in birds,
and bird societies were originated.
At the time when there was such

Eyes, he and me has worked side

too. No money in this business

What's the reason?"
Prices too low. Unless a custo-
mer takes shampoo it doesn't pay
to shave or haircut. Poor Jim,
caught him trying to cut customer
throat because he refused a shampoo

locked up. Makes me sad. Some

HINTS TO THE AMATEUR.

Neatness in the garden is import
ant, IL one would derive the greatest
possible pleasure from it, II dead
leaves, faded flowers and broken
branches are left where they fall to
litter the sward, they will give an
untidy effect which will seriously
mar the appearance of everything.
Be as neat and tidy in the garden
as in the house.
Don't wait for flowers to drop
their petals, but cut them off as
soon as they show that they have
passed their prime. Do this at the
proper time and you save yourself a
good deal of labor and time. Re
move all dead leaves as soon as dis
covered. Always aim to have your
beds in company trim" In other
words, have them look so tidy that
you will not be ashamed to show
them to visitors at any time And
remember that no bed ever looks at
it's best unless all weeds are kept
down. Weeds don't belong in flower
standing testimony of neglect on the
part of the owner of the garden.
Keep the ground light, open and
mellow. Some seem to think it I'M
safe to hoe among plants in dry sea-
sons, fearing that the soil will dry
out so rapidly as to injure the plants
Not so. A light, open soil absorbs
all the moisture that comes, while a
baked, hard condition of the surface
of the soil prevents such absorp-
ton.
Keep plants that require the sup
port of trellis tied up as fast as
they grow, unless they are such as
fasten themselves by tendrils, in
which case tying will be unnecessary.
Plants of a climbing habit, which
are not provided with tendrils, are
often blown down and injured by
strong winds, if not tied In tying,
use strips of cloth, as strings cut
the soft wood, while strips do not.
If plants are plunged THAT is,
IT pots containing growing plants
, are sunk in the ground-great care
1 must be taken to see that the soil
inside the pots does not get too dry.
Very often it becomes so before the
owner of the plant is aware of it, be-
cause the soil about the pot looks
| moist, and it is taken for granted
that the soil inside the pot must be
| in a similar condition. The pot is
porous, to a certain extent, it is true,
but still not sufficiently so to ad-
| NIT all the moisture required. There
fore water must be applied daily in
! dry weather. l do not advise pIung-
i ing plants, because of the neglect
, they are almost sure to receive on &C
count Of the impression that they re-
, quire little or no water, when given
this treatment during the summer.

and this showering should be thor

ter shutdown, with a syringe. throw

THE BOY WHO WOULDN'T FIGHT.

The little boys in classroom No. 4
thought the noon recess would never
come. Their copper-toed shoes scrap
like jumping out Of the third-story
window to get rid of the sound.
But at last the big gong struck
twelve, and at the signal twenty-five
children tumbled down the steep
steps into the paved court behind the
big and the playground so small that
the rooms took their recess by turns
1t was No. As sturn at twelve.
And now you will see why they
have been so eager to get out; there
is new scholar to-day, and they
want to "size him up" as boys say.
where are you in arithmetic?"
asks one.
Partial payments" replies the
newcomer, promptly.
He has been using his ears in the
classroom, and he knows his arith-
metic will give him rank among these
new comrades.
"How many blades has your knife
got?"
-Four" The new boys head is still
up as ne produces a beauty of a
knife.
"Whew!" whistles round the
crowd. This beats partial payments
out of sight
Lets have a fight now" says the
stoutest little rascal of the party
and this is the supreme test in No. 4
a boy who can do partial payments
has a four-bladed knife, and will
fight, can take any place he wants
among them.
There is dead silence for an in
slant The strangers face gets red
his eyes flash; but he stuffs his
hands in his pockets, and says, with
an effort: 81 don't fight"

when he refused to fight. Partial

Suddenly the noise of battle come:
up from the paved court. The teach
er looks out of the window; but, see
ing only a confused mass of tossing
arms and legs, and hearing only {
sound as of Kilkenny cats on the war
path, she rings her bell sharply ant
