LESSON or SUFFICIENT REST
to Master and Not Surprising
That Child Ignores II.

It has been observed that while we
are trying to do something for the
child who is overworked, we need to
remember the other danger of over
play. Parents and teachers too often
fail to realize the injury that may
come through the exciting stimula-
tion of games carried to excess.
Most children need to be restrained
now and then in the matter of ex-
hausting exercise. The lesson OF suf-
ticieht rest is one of the hardest
which grownups have to learn. 1t is
not surprising that children do not
know how to observe 1t.
Yet many cases of nerves and ir-
ritability could be traced directly to
the fact that a child has been allowed
to run from morning till night with no
relaxation at a time when the de-
mands of youth make rest especially
needful. 1t is better to insist upon
plenty of sleep and quiet than to pun
ish youngster for the natural result
of a tagged body.-Haverhill Gazette.

What Free sugar Will Mean

The Democrats will have a hard
time explaining that schedule in the
tariff law which places sugar in the
free list next year." said Frank A.
Singer of New Orleans Down our
way we believe there will be action
by the next congress to restore the
duty on sugar. Some idea of the op-
GRAFTON of the new sugar schedule may
be had by a statement of the govern
ment figures under the Underwood
law. These show that from March
l, 1914, when the reduced rate went
into effect, up to March l. 1915, the
revenue was $49,794,O0O. For the
same period, if the duty on sugar had
not been reduced, there would have
been revenues amounting to $6S S,000,-
600, difference of practically $751;
100000. The refund for which the
government is responsible under a
decision of the court of appeals, five
per cent on all goods coming in over
seas, at this rate would be S18,000,O00.
If sugar goes on the free list May 1,
1915, as contemplated by the Under
wood law, there will be an annual
loss of duty of $6s 100000
Notwithstanding the reduction in
duty and the contemplated placing of
sugar on the free list, the price of
sugar has gone from SAFE in June,
1918 to $5.12 this year"

NEW HYBRID CARNATIONS
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

Thanks to the skill of the hybridist,
We now have races of lovely, fragrant,
ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and
bushy in growth, that show buds and
flowers in four or five months after
the seeds are sown.
The flowers, too, are not only borne
in abundance, but are of all the lead
Ing shades of color, from white
through shades of pink to dark Grim
son. and from cream to bright yellow,
as well as striped and blotched.
These new carnations are as easily
grown as Japan pinks. The seeds may
be sown in a box in the window dur
ing March or April, and the plants set
out where they are to bloom when the
weather becomes warm and settled.
Give them a sunny bed, and II you
wish fine show of flowers from each
plant, pinch off the first stem that
pushes up to bloom. This will cause
the plant to stool out, and develop sew.
eral stalks, each of which will bear
cluster of buds and flowers.
A rich, rather tenacious soil suits
the plants. and they should stand eight
inches apart in the row or bed.
For winter blooming SOW the seeds
In May or June and grow in pots, shift.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
BY EREN e. REXEoRp.

Keep watch of your asters, for "in
such an hour as you know not the
maggot may attack them. 1t is bet
ter, however, to act on the belief that
this enemy is sure to come, and take
measures to head him off.
Work wood ashes into the soil about
the plants, and remove a little soil
Immediately about the base of each
plant and scatter tobacco dust there
literally. This will not injure the
plant, but it may discourage the pest
in its effort to get at the stalk of it.
OF late, many collections of asters
have been ruined by this grub.
The plant will look perfectly healthy
today; tomorrow it will have with
cred appearance and the next day it
will be yellow, and if you take hold of
its top and give slight pull, off it

He WAS SLOW BUT THOROUGH
Quality Of His Work Spoke Well for
Boy Engaged to Pull Weeds Out
of Lady's Garden.

A lady engaged a boy to weed in
her garden. He started to do the
work as she directed, and she went
about her household duties. After a
half hour had elapsed she looked out
the window and saw the boy at about
the same spot she had left him.
Pretty slow" said the lady. and
again went about her work.
Another half hour elapsed, and
again she looked out the window.
She noticed that he had done very
little more, and said to herself. Il
wish had secured a man for this Job;
it will not be finished today at this
rate"
AT the end of another half hour
she concluded to speak to the boy
and hurry him up. so out to the yard
she went
She stopped suddenly. 1t was true
that not very much of the garden had
been covered. The boy was slow, that
was sure, but such a job of wedding

piece of grass was left. 1t was as

War Tax to Be Continued

The Simmons-Underwood tariff law
failed to produce sufficient revenue to
pay the running expenses of the gov
ernment. The income tax added to the
revenue from the Simmons Under
wood tariff law left the total still in
sufficient. Economy in expenditures
might have bridged the gap, but in
stead of cutting down expenditures,
the Democratic congresses increased
them last year by $30,000,090. That
left no option but new tax which
was passed as temporary expedient
to tide the government over a lean
year. Now it appears that this new
tax is to be re-enacted.
And the reason for the imposition
of these extra taxes, the income tax
and the war tax, which isn't war tax
at all. is found in the fact that the
Simmons Underwood bill in addition
to being a general disturber of busi-
ness was a fat failure as revenue
producer.-Watertow IN. Y.) Stand

Birds Cling FearfuIly to Fire Escape
While Sparrow Hawk Hovers
Near.

A servant maid in an apartment on
the fourth floor of the Victoria, at
Riverside drive and Ninety-seventh
street, opened the kitchen window
Monday morning and wondered why
dozens of sparrows that were hud-
ding on fire escape and window sill
did not take fright and scurry away.
Then she glanced onward and upward
into the airshaft and discovered the
reason.
A sparrow hawk, sun glinting on it's
wings, was wheeling rapidly high up
in the airshaft, but below the roof
level. Occasionally, when the marau-
der's keen eye glimpsed a sparrow
which hadn't taken refuge it darted
like flash. Twice while the maid
watched the hawk made captive and
scared out of the airshaft
The air pirate worked for about two
hours and disappeared shortly before
noon, but it was at least half an hour
later when the plump, brown spar.
rows recovered from the terror caused
by the hawks appearance.

One teacupful of kerosene.
Let the soap. to which little water

RIackberries.

But the real greatness of a black
berry is in the eating it fresh from the
bush. 1t does not need sugar and
cream. 1t does not need anything but
a thumb and finger and a mouth. The
mushy ones that grow big in the
shade may be improved by doctoring
but the firm ones of moderate size
that grow in the open fields are not
susceptible of improvement by human
art. We knew man, raised in the
country in middle Tennessee, who
came back from Oklahoma in his old
age just to fill himself once more with
blackberries as they grow. Nobody
who knows what real blackberries are
would think him foolish. A mar
might almost come back from para
