Guinea pigs are easy to raise ant
taken all in all, are the most desir.
able pets that there are. Even baby
can play with them without fear Of be.
ing scratched.
Boye on the farm can cara quite q
little by raising these pets and selling
them in the village or city at the rate
Of rs cents each.
The guinea pigs should be kept away
from cats, who will hunt them as they
do rats. Some say. however, that
when a kitten is brought up from the
very first with guinea pigs. she will
live peacefully with them.

potatoes of Of piece OF ground,
which he traded in the city for n pair
OF guinea pigs from which he raised

Shanghai is the proud posses
sor Of a fancy name. "The
Ia Gem of the Orient" 1t is called,
and It is, in more ways than
one, a gem depending entirely on
the sense in which the term may be
applied.
1t is certainly one of the most in.
teresting cities In the world, and no
visitor to the Orient should leave 1t
out OF his itinerary.
1t presents the curious anomaly OF
being Chinese city, whose affairs
are administered by foreigners. writes
]. NJ. Grady in the Denver Post.
First there is the International mu-
nicipal council, whose acts are sub.

Gil, representing the foreign consuls

Peking md duly accredited to the
government Of China by their respec.
tive countries. There is no appeal
from the decisions of this latter body

Expecting Too Much.

Some girls expect 30 much from
their friends that they are all the time
being disappointed. They themselves
lose their tempers often, but they ex-
pect their friends always to be sweet
and polite. Sometimes their faces are
overcast, and their brows wrinkled
into a frown. but they expect their
friends to go about smiling. It ia a
mistake to expect 80 much more OF
your friends than you expect OF your.
self. for that 10 one way OF losing

o~yERsTRAINING VIRTUE

The Young Mems Christian asso-

on tobacco. H~enceforward a man
who smokes and is unwilling to give

will not be welcome in any OF It's
hotels. In making this announce

there will be no trouble in filling the
rooms of the various buildings wit h
non-smokers. There is little doubt
about that. Excellent men who do
not smoke will no doubt be found IN
numbers in the y. NJ. c. A. establish
ments in the future, "a in the past.
Nevertheless. this official attempt AT
prescribing a mans personal
conduct to such an extent will be
keenly resented by many young men
of good character. Rather than
have their habits thus censored. they
will seek shelter elsewhere. An IN
Istitution resigned to help the young
men of the country to better living
should hesitate before it overem-
Iphasizes the minor vices. There are
many clergymen of high character
who keep a box of cigars in their
study, and who are consistent Ell
ough. when smoking themselves. TO
offer a cigar to their neighbor or
caller according to the new rules of
the Y. NJ. c. A.. these elergymen
would not be welcome in any of its
dormotories. Too many restrictions
defeat their own ends. To set up a
standard of impeccabilty will not
serve the ends for which the y. NJ.
c. A. is supported. And, by the way,
how many of its supporters are non
smokers?
