they do not know the difference be-
tween a pear and an apple tree. In
most camps boys learn to make these
distinctions.
In camp boys and girl learn to wash
dishes, to be economical with food and
to like food that they would not
previously eat at home. l have known
camp life to change a boys appetite
completely, so that on going home he
was glad to eat such wholesome foods
as boiled rice and Indian meal mush.
which he would not touch before.
Camping life viii not make a child
expert at any particular trade or oc-
cupation, but it serves to show him
how much skill is required iii doing
much of the work usually performed
by the laboring classes. Whenever
boy tries to perform any manual la
Dor his respect for 1t increases. He
has a try at rowing, swimming, sail
ing, fishing, running an engine, re-
pairing a boat and sometimes in build
ing small boats. He learns the use OF
tools common to country people, who
are more independent of plumbers.
carpenters, masons, ETC., than city
people are.
Perhaps one of the most important
lessons for a child to learn is respect
for labor. When a boy has hoed a
few hills of horn he instinctively re-
marks that he would hate to keep
! that up all day. If he follows the hay
cart for an hour he realizes that "rak-
ing after" is not all sport. When he
takes a shovel and attempts to assist
in digging a trench or drain he sud-
denly realizes why those laborers
whom he has seen in the city at the
same kind of work seemed to take
their time about it. After five min
utes of that work he learns just where
his backbone is located.
There are many other educational
advantages which are incidental to
camp life. such as practice in singing.
speec.raaking, editorial work on the
camp paper, literary entertainments.
etc. The camp paper though. seldom
more than a simple manuscript, Is
often a very ingenious production, in
which the editor, together with the
camp artist, succeeds in bringing
home to the lads some wonderful bits
of news as well as some healthful
truths.
The social advantages of camp life
are many and varied. The close rela-
ton in which boys live at camp in
variabIy results in the formation OF
permanent friendships.

ts{Gsi his mind that time VIII not
eradicate. At the close of
the season he has had the fun that
he wanted to have, he has taken his
part in the games and contests, he has
climbed mountains and sailed on lakes
and streams, he has cruised with the
fellows and shared their pleasures and
hardships. and he has returned home
filled with the memories of gorgeous
feasts, of midnight pranks, of adven-
lures on sea and on land, of encoun-
tiers with friend and with foe, and OF
moments when the success or failure
of a battle depended solely on his
strength, his skill and his valor.
The influence left On a child's char
acter by a summer thus spent cannot
but be important. In the first place
the child is away from his parents,
away from those to whom he is accus-
toned to go for sympathy and advice.
He is placed on his own resources in
a manner quite new and strange.
A camp is not at all like a boarding
school, where there are regular duties
and a fixed routine for each activity of
the day. The summer camp means
fun, freedom, frolic and a chance to do
nothing If one wishes. The boarding
school means order, discipline, re-
straint and hard work at all times.
Therefore, when boy finds himself at
a camp for the first time in his life he
is often at a loss to know what to do,
because he Is often left to his own
choice.
He has many new problems which
must be thought out alone. He has
come to camp to have barrel Of fun,
and he means to have it. His first i'm
pulse is to make friends with every
body, and especially with the coun-
sellers 1t is quite right that he should
do this. And it is the especial duty OF
the counsellors to have a watchful eye
out for the new boys, to see that they
do not get homesick or tire OF the
camp because of inactivity.
Ten weeks of camp life cannot but
have it's effect on the character OF lads
who are just beginning to feel the first
impulses to do things that they have
read about in books. There are nc
boys so bad that there is not some
good in them, and there are no boys
in camp so good that there is no bad
in them, and some Of it is pretty sure
to crop out before summer is over. In
many boys this badness has been Turk
ing for years. 1t has not shown Itself
because of lack of opportunity. The
boys camp is one of the places where
the inherent badness in a lad has an
opportunity to unbottle itself without
serious injury to the boy.
But camp life is of such a nature
that these unbottlings are not of fire
quent occurrence. Before a bad habit
has been fixed on the boy he Is
brought to a halt and having beer
shown that he has been doing wrong
he learns a valuable lesson.
The average summer camp is not g
Sunday school. 1t Is not intended fol
such. On the other hand the directors
of these camps are for the most par
Christian gentlemen, having high
ideals. A proper respect for the Sab
bath day is required not only for the

ANIMAL ORGANS OF TASTE.
Easisr to Say Where They Arc Not Than to Locate Them.

Easisr to Say Where They Arc Net Than to Locate Thsm.
 Many experiments have been made in order to find out what and where the organ of taste iB in the lower creation, but it is easier to say where it is not. Crawfish and worms seem to have very decided preferences in the matter of food, though no special taste organ has yet been found.
 Snails and slugs show a decided preference for certain kinds of food, as garden lovers know to their cost. Peas and cabbages, dahlias and sunfowers are great favorites, but they will not touch the white mustard. Some prefer animal food, especially if rather. high. Spiders have only a slight sense of taste. Flies soaked in paraAin seem quite palatable to them, though one spe- cies, the diadema, is somewhat more particular and refuses to touch al- cohol in any form whatever. The proboscis of the fly and the tongues of bees and ants are fur nished with numerous delicate hairs set in. minute pits. These are per haps connected with the organ of taste, but though the exact locality of this sense in insects is uncertain we know that groups of cells in the tongues of animals called taste bulbs form in part the ends of the organ of the higher animals. They are very close and exceedingly nu- merous in man, while the tongue of even the COW has some 35,000 taste bulbs.
 It would be interesting to know whether each special taste excites special group of nerves.
 These curious little taste bulbs were discovered in 1867. Each one consists of two kinds of cells, one set forming an outer protective cov- ering through an opening in which project from five to ten of the true taste cells. Though important, they are not apparently an essential part of the organ, for birds and reptiles have none, but neither have they keen sense of taste.-Boston Her. aid.

The teacher did several sums on the board especial ly for this pupil, and as he erased the last figure he turned to the boy:

Hotel Clerks Queer Job.

"Ha-ha! Te-he! Ho-ho! Haw- haw"
 These and various other varieties of giggles and laughs rang out in the lobby of the Hotel Pfster. It was not a humorists' convention, however, that resulted in the merry chuckles. Investigation showed that the guests lined up in front of the clerks desk were laughing at a stunt being. pulled off by the key clerk. He was peeling potatoes; hence the loud peals.
 ''1 thought they peeled the pota- toes in the kitchen" said one fat drummer.
 "The potatoes you eat are peeled in the kitchen," said the clerk, 'but Pm peeling these for penwipers."

Wullie was evidently totally unable to supply the information, for he looked puzzled and shook his head.
