Boys and girls VINO live upon farms

WHEN GIRLS ARE CHARMING
She Is the One Who Makes This
World a Pleasant Place Because
She Is So Agreeable Herself.

You have undoubtedly met disagree
able girls, who, without doing any,
thing especially spiteful or mean, have
Impressed you as girls to avoid. But
have you ever met the girl that you,
as we'll as everyone else, likes? You
are unfortunate if you have not met
her.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice of everything in the
world.
She is the girl who is not aggres-
sive and does not find joy in exciting
aggressive people.
She is the girl who never causes
pain with a thoughtless tongue.
She is a girl who, when you invite
her to any place, compliments you by
looking her best.
She is the girl who makes the world
a pleasant place because she is SO
pleasant herself-Selected

TEN for Ventilation.

An English gentleman lately took q
small wasp's nest, about the size of an
apple, and, after stupefying it's in
mates, placed it in a large cage in
side of his house, leaving an opening
for egress through the wall. Here
the nest was enlarged to foot in d.
ameter, holding thousands of wasps.
He was able now to watch their move
ments, and he noted one new cact-
namely, their systematic attention to
ventilation.
In hot weather from four to six wasps
were continually stationed at the hole
OF egress, and, while leaving space
for entrance or exit, they created a
steady current of fresh air by the
exceedingly rapid motion of their
wings.
After long course of this vigorous
exercise the ventilators were relieved
by other wasps. During cool weather
only two wasps at time were Usually
thus engaged.

made him a master of the subject.

The Greatest Mistake.

It is a silly sort Of pride that makes
one ashamed to own up that he has
been mistaken. No one, old or young,
is always right, and if you are ready
to admit that you are sometimes mis-
taken, why should you be ashamed to
own a special mistake. The greatest

Other Memorial
Days Than Ours

Memorial day. which 10 celebrated ON
May 80 in almost every state Of our
Union, has been set apart by statute
40 a special day for decorating the
graves Of the nations soldiers and for
holding appropriate exercises In their
memory. While it originally sprang
from a spontaneous desire to do honor
to the heroes who fell in the civil war.
still 1t is now celebrated In honor Of
all the soldier dead. that their her0ism
and sacrifices may never be forgotten.
It Is interesting to trace the origin
Of this holiday, for, like many another
modern institution, Il goes back to the
early days Of civilization. We have
been celebrating it with a special sig
n%i6cance since the civil war. and yet
upon examining It we find the adapta-
ton Of an ancient custom rather than
the expression of a new idea. In fact,
days set aside for ceremonies to honor
the dead are intimately connected with
all races.
The pagan Greeks held sacred rites
at the graves Of their dead and made

offerings Of olives and flowers. A for
al wreath was placed at the head OF
the grave, and IL a bloom sprang from
the mound it was considered a sign of
the happiness Of the departed one.
In Rome a similar festival was held
for several days in February. 1t was
known as the Parentalia. During this
celebration the temples were closed
and the last day offerings were made
at the tombs. These consisted Of milk,
honey, fruit. wine and other things.
while flowers Of every variety were
used in profuse decoration.
The druids held a memorial service
In the autumn on the v Of the
Thanksgiving feast. while the ancient
people Of Japan and China had a serv-
ice for the dead called the feast Of
lanterns.
After the various nations embraced
Christianity this custom became more
widespread and the nature Of its cele-
bration changed materially. The spirit
ual. side of the day became the upper
most feature, and this led directly to
the founding of All Souls day. This is
observed in our own country strictly
in a religious manner. but in many
places in Europe it includes the deco
ration Of flowers in addition to the
spiritual exercises. In France, for sew
eral days before the feast. wreaths and
punches Of immortelles. dyed in various
colors, are seen in the shop windows.
In Italy the celebration is very much
like that in France. but perhaps a little
more attention is paid to the material
celebration. Wreaths are often made
Of metal, and. while more durable,
they hardly possess the charm or
beauty of real leaves and flowers.
