say men do-swearing, drinking anc

cious form, smoking cigarettes
'If there is a boy among you tha
smokes cigarettes" the governor saI'
earnestly, Il hope he will quit to

Books for the Children

Care must be taken in the stories
we give to growing children that eyll
is always overcome. Book friends are
very real to boys and girls and IN
fiuence their character. There should
be effort and conflict in their stories
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose Stories in which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable, because what boy or CIR
has done appeals more directly to the
child's own power. He feels though
he may not express it even to him
self that what other children have
done he can do.

Peculiar Natural Fact.

One of the puzzles Of nature is the
fact that many springs show an in
creased flow of water several hours
before a coming rain begins to fall.
Various explanations have been at
tempted, the most plausible being
that the weather before a storm is
often OF the kind which checks loss
Of moisture from the ground by
evaporation and hence leaves more
to feed the springs.
