THE BUSINESS REVIVAL.

Further statistical evidence of i'm
proving business conditions is found
in the record of commercial failures,
which have shown steady reduction
month by month, and in May made
much the best exhibit of the year.
Total insolvencies during that period,
as reported to r. G. Dun & Co, num-
bered 1,7O7, as against 2,063 in April
1000 in March and APIS in February,
while there was a decrease of 1, 141
suspensions from the January figures
or fully 40 per cent. Moreover, the
S21,O53,212 of liabilities involved by
defaulting concerns last month were
not a marked contraction as compared
with January, February and April
but We're also less than those in May,
1914, when the amount was $23,447,
496. In point of mum Der, on the other
hand, the insolvency returns still indi-
cate mortality above the average,
last months returns disclosing in
creases of 4S6, 461, sos, and 701 de-
faults, respectively, in comparison
with the four Immediately preceding
years. 1t is encoura ging, however,
that the expansion over former per-
iods is not so pronounced as hereto
fore, and the progressive Improvement
in the failure statistics provides addi-
tional evidence that general business
conditions are gradually returning to
normal. Betterment in the Industrial
situation is reflected in the diminish
ing manufacturing losses, which in
May numbered $50, or exactly 100 less
than in April and only 6S more than
in May, 1914, when 1922 such reverses
were reported. In each of the three
months prior to April there were more
than 500 failures in this division and
in comparison with January the rec
ord now shows a reduction of 161 in

Charles Lamb has said it was no
misfortune for a man to have a sulky
temper. 1t was his friends who were
unfortunate, and so with the man who
has no sense of humOr. He is often
to be respected, sometimes to be
feared, and if possible, always to be
avoided. His are the qualities which
distance enables us to recognize and
value at their words. He fills his
place in the scheme of existence but
it is for us to see that his place is not
next to ours at the table. Agnes

AN UNEXPECTED FIND.

Dick was a city boy and he lived
| in big city flat. All his life he had
| heard about gardens and farms and
country, but never had he seen real
garden or a real farm a truly
| woods. He only knew what they We're
like from pictures and stories-which
are not enough to give boy good
idea as you we'll know.
Now when this particular spring
came, Dick went to the park he
always had. And he admired the trees
and the bushes and the grass, as he
always had. But somehow this year
that didn't seem to be enough for him.
He wanted some place where he could
dig, and weed and work as the boys in
the stories did.
eff you were a farm boy you
wouldn't be SO anxious to weed and
dig" said his father, laughingly, when
he heard about Dicks wishes, you'd
soon tire of tits hard work"
Maybe 1t is" sighed Dick. but 1
know I'd like to try it,
He thought about a farm and
dreamed about a farm. He talked
about it whenever he could get any
body to listen to him.
Finally one day his father said
to him, "Dick, 1 seem to have the
idea some way that you are interested
in farming"
Dick laughed and his eyes twinkled
rnerriIy ''That's queer" he said,
what made you think that?"
His father looked thoughtful. "a
boy who is old enough to make a
joke about something he wants" he
replied, ''is old enough to try his hand
at farming.
.Oh, father,'' exclaimed Dick
breathlessly. do you really mean it ?"
Wait and seel" said father mys-
teriously. "only don't expect a ten acre
lot in this flat-you won't get it,"
He laughed and started off to work.
Now if you happen to be. a little boy
who has waited a WHOLE day for his
father to bring home something, you
know exactly how long that day was
for Dicki All through the morning
(Which was ninety hours 1ong) he
wondered what his father could have
meant. And all through the after
noon (Which was three times as long
as the nnorning) he decided that like
ly as not his father was fooling him
and there wouldn't be any farm at

BOOKS AND THE CHILD.

The great trouble is that too often
the child'S training is not of the right
sort, and he does not learn to love
books, declares w. F. Purdue, writ
ing in Farm and Home. Much time
and attention are devoted to the study
of English in the schools, but, unfor-
tunately, the study of English is not
always the study of literature in the
best sense. Too much stress, it seems
to the writer, is put upon technicali-
ties and too little upon the meaning
the sentiment, the beauty, of thought
conveyed. Many a literary master
piece has been ruined for a young
student by his teachers undue insis-
tence upon analysis of its diction its
style and its sentence construction
These things have their Importance,
but they should be subordinate to the
grasp of the production as a whole.
1t too frequently happens that litera-
ture is thrust upon children when
they are not sufficiently developed to
comprehend or to enjoy it. For ex-
ample, it may be doubted if Shakes
peare's plays are properly within the
comprehension of any save exceptional
children under fifteen. Yet in most
schools children are expected to know
something of the great dramatist be-
fore that age. And it is certain no
literature really profits a reader of
whatever age unless it interests him.
That might well be the first test of a
book. that it shall be of interest; not
that it is improving" or full OF in
