FEEDING GROWING CHILDREN.
How to Deal With Individual Whims
and Supply Nourishina Dishes.

IL Is the English mothers custom to
give her growing children plenty OF
good nourishing food. the simple foods
triment. She gives them plenty OF two
or three different dishes at n meal,
never more, for simplicity is her key
note of success in child training and
feeding.
When a child has an aversion to
meat this can be supplied the system
by giving il delicate broths made from
fresh meat or small pieces of bread
soaked in the dish gravy of the roast.
Bread cut In fancy shapes. toasted and
then soaked in hot bacon fat Is exceed
ingly nourishing and often much APP
preciated as a breakfast dish.
Children who do not apparently eat
enough at meals should be given u
ishment every two hours-a small glass
OF milk. which should be taken very
slowly: a little beef tea, Il bar of chloe
olate or a piece Of sponge cake. At
meals vegetables and fresh stewed
fruit should play an important part.
Min and rich meat soups are good and
the homely milk buildings valuable as
sets to the general diet.
Puddings made of rice or other cere-
ais should be cooked slowly. allowing
plenty of time for the thorough cook
ing of the grain. and should be served
in as attractive a manner as possible.
in as many different ways as possible.
A light breakfast, a hearty dinner in
the middle of the day, with q very light
tea about 4 O'Clock. and then supper at
G., consisting. of some nourishing broth,
a sandwich or two and q little sweet.
is the proper kind and division of food
for the growing child.-Philadelphia

OUR FIRST FREE SCHOOL.
1t Was Established In Massachusetts,
In the Year 1641.

The first free school established in
the United States was in the province
of Massachusetts, Bay in the year 1641
by order of the general colonial court.
In 1917 the same authority declared
that free schools should be established
within every town having fifty house,
holders under penalty Of a fine of f5.
This fine was doubled by a declaration
made in 1911 and again doubled In
1888.
Connecticut established free schools
in 1914 and levied a tax for their sup
port. Maryland established free schools
in 1904 and levied a tax on negroes,
pelts, furs and beef and pork for their
support. Governor Berkeley declared
In 1649 the hope that free schools
would never be established In Virginia,
but the towns of Charleston and Eliza
beth did establish them In that year,
and Elizabeth set aside 200 acres of
land and eight cows. the increase from
which was applied to support the
schools. Four years later the number
of COWS had increased { o forty. Penn
s~ylvania was settled by Penn on the
Delaware river in 1851, and the same
year a free school, conducted under the
auspices Of the Friends, or Quakers,
was established in Philadelphia.

DESCENT OF THE DOG.
Science Traces the canins Back to the
Wolf or JackaL

II seems to be generally accepted by
na~turalists and the world nj large that
the domestic dog is in some sense n col
lateral descendant Of the wolf or iackal.
A professor In the Natural History
museum in Paris has communicated re-
suits of his study of various canine
skulls to the Academy of Sciences.
lie appears 10 have noticed certain pc
culiarities of growth which have hith-
erto escaped biologists. He states that
the skull Of almost every species of
wolf and jackal differs from the skull
of the shepherd dog to an extent that
makes it impossible that this dog
should belong in the same classifica-
ton. The skull of the Indian wolf. on
the contrary. shows some points of re-
semblance. This indeed is the only
savage canine the top of whose head
projects like that of our dog.
There are. moreover. says Harper's
Weekly. other characteristics which
the Indian wolf has In common with
the dog and which the ordinary wolf
does not share with them. although his
origin and that of the dog have long
been supposed to be a common one.
The conclusion Of this scientist is
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
OF the shepherd dog and the blood
hound. There were two primitive races
of dogs analogous to these which were
first domesticated In central Asia,
whence they passed to Europe, and
there seems no reason TO doubt that
the bloodhound of today is the direct
descendant of the dog spoken of by
the ancient as 1.-The dog of the 9 Of
bronze"

The Wasp's Paper Mill.

The wasp has a paper mill in her
mouth and jaws. She flies about until
she finds an old rail whitened and
weather beaten by the winds and rain.
Then she peels from it that thin. iaky
substance which you sometimes see on
old fences in the country. This she
chews and mumbles v e into a kind
of paste until it becomes quite plastic,
and in this condition she flies with it
TO the place where she intends to build
her hive. In building she clings with
her last two pair OF legs. and with the
first pair. aided by her jaws. she fixes
the woody pulp to the bough she has
selected, k~neading 1t into form.

daughter. Molly. would get
along. A number Of them so interested
themselves that she was made tele-
phone operator at Sandsville.
Molly Lee was twenty. and IL she
hadn't married before her fathers
death 1t was not because of the lack
of m opportunity. Why she didn't was
her own affair. Why she attended
strictly to business afterward and had
no beaus was also her own affair. but
folks winked and nodded and said it
would come around by and by.
At Stapleton. twenty-eight miles
away. James Williams opened a store
about the time Mr.. Lee died. He had
much telephoning TO do In various d.
rectons. and he called up Sandsville at
least once q day. When he heard the
new voice over the telephone. he liked
b sound Of 1t. The more he heard
of it the better he liked it.
As he was a bachelor and as he was
charged with having an eye open for
a wife. IT would not have been strange
had he written to a friend at Sands
vile to introduce him to that girl with
a sweet voice in the telephone office,
but he did nothing of the kind. He
could have stepped aboard the train
any day and gone and seen for himself,
but he did not do that.
Bachelors have their as
well as young men and maidens. He
built up a romance around the "Hellor'
voice, and after a few weeks he would
have wanted to knock down the man
who destroyed it for him. When there
was no business on the Sandsville line
to call for his opening the telephone he
made excuses to do so. He felt he
must hear that voice at least once a
day. and when he found his romance
growing he smiled to himself.
BY and by the messages over the
wire were not strictly confined to bust
ness, according to regulations. He
never asked her name, but he be.
trayed an interest that brought a blush
to her cheek as she carelessly respond.
ed: Yes" Il see." II guess So" "In.
deedr'
Sometimes he left the speaking piece
uncovered and hummed a sentimental
song. The girl at the other end Of the
wire knew that the words were meant
for her. At first, when addressing
her. he had called her after the name
Of her town. One day he glided away
from that and called her Grille. She
was going to rebuke him, but he was
in a hurry, and she put it off.
For a year the bachelor Rugged his
romance to his soul; then he made UP
his mind to look for something more
material. He put on his best suit one
day and went down to Sandsville. Any
one on the street would have told him
that Miss Molly Lee was In charge of
the telephone Office and would proba-
bly, have added that she was the best
looking girl in town, but he asked no
questions, not even where the Office
was. He strolled around until he found
1t for himself, and he kept saying as
he strolled:
Jimmy Williams, you are making
an idiot of yourself. or course Grille
is an old maid and homely as a hedge

The Way TO Read.

About reading Lord Macaulay says:
when a boy i began to read very
earnestly. but at the foot of every page
| read stopped and obliged myself to
give an account OF what l had read on
that page.
"At first l had to read 1t three or four
times before l got my mind firmly fix
ed But l compelled myself to comply
with the plan until now. after I have
read a book through once. l a almost
recite it from the beginning to the end.
ut is n very simple habit to form
early in life and is valuable as a means
of making reading serve the best pur-
pose"

TO SHRINK WOODEN GOODS.


Wet a sheet and spread it out
on a table. Then place one thick
ness of the goods lengthwise OF
the sheet. Begin at n end and
roll sheet and goods together.
Lay the roll of goods away on a
platter or waiter until morning.
After unrolling the goods press
on the wrong side with a hot
iron. If there should be any
doubt about the right side of the
goods before shrinking ii would
be better after determining the
right side TO mark it by sewing
a bit Of cloth lear a corner so
there will be no trouble in ascer-
tanning the right side after
shrinking.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
OF solid flesh is now no longer as

Excessive meat eaters are usually

they are not able to fully digest their
