We have been so busy developing
the country that we have neglected to
develop our boys. The japanese long
ago discovered that soft youth IN a
hard life were Indispensable and a mis-
fit. The trained youth is more de-
pendable for national defence than the
millions in the bank Money incites
inVaSiOn-ruscie checks it. In the
early days Of this republic the hoe and
the buck saw were so essential to life
that athletic clubs were not necessary.
Every boy was taught to hoe his row
instead Of how to swing Indian clubs;
and the effect of well dealt blows at
the chOpping block was better than
blows upon a spring to show on the
face of a dial that its force was 200
pounds. Physical energy is too prec-
iOUs to be neglected or wasted; but in
this age the Charley Champlins sell
their energy for S65O,00 a year to
amuse people, while the Joseph Does
sell the energy which produces two
billion bushels of corn for $3.50 a year.
The Charley Champlins are not a ma
tional dependence and defence, but the
Joseph Does be. The examination of
recruits for the army shows too large
a per cent. Of defectives-so does the
physical examination of school chill
dren. Trained youth made Sparta
famous-they viii! make America safe.

! was surprised one day by the antics
Of a female oriole in the garden who
ran down the pickets on the fence and
the stalks Of last years dahlias like
a nutharch, head downwards, search
ing the trunk of a tree for tiny insects
and eggs. It is seldom we see the
orioIe upon the fence or low OBJECTS
near the ground: and it is probable
that food was less plentiful than usual.
These birds seem to enjoy the cherry
trees when in bloom as much as the
robin red breast enjoys them when
they are bright with ripened fruit. The
golden robin is not such a quiet neigh
Dor as the bluebird, but IS a good
match for the grossbealL, whose call
somewhat resembles it: but he CLEANS
among the leaves like the tauager, and
as a thing of beauty is likely to be a
Joy forever. No one knows how long
he has been making his annual jour
neys from Central America to New
Brunswick; but it. is more than prob
able that he was not a stranger here
when Eric the Red made his first vOy-
age along the New England coast.

the coach finally stopped short in a

into the coach he saw that they had

shameful to sidestep your proper pro-
portion Of labor and care. You are
Fbound to lift according to your

The most successful physician IS the
one who understands human nature
as we'll as drugs-who can stir a. pa
tent with faith while he medicates
with doubt. To be a promising patient
enc must believe in the ability Of the
doctor to cast out the devils of dis
case and to restore to q normal condi-
ton the physical action, or reactions,
of the body. We have been told upon
indisputable authority Thy faith
makes thee WHOLE and since the doc
tors who medicate and the doctors who
dictate and the doctors who simply
osCilate their patients are all reward
ed with success, and the proprietary
remedies containing no healing prop
critics and some of which are chiefly
composed Of water, cure, the claim Of
faith to our respectful Consideration
cannot be denied. Many a physician
laughs when he calls to mind that as
a last resort brown bread pills or a
little n1Olasscs and water saved a. nerv-
Gus, distrustfuI and battling patient
There seem to be a great many people

little hone of success. Faith" We ara

A near phiIosopher SAYS: ct is easier

A near philosopher says: eft is easier
to elect a good man to Office than it
is to get him to stay good after he has
been elected" From this it would ap-
pear that to win in politics is to get
in the way Of greater temptation; but
it is no part of the electors duty to
keep the candidate good, for that is
duty which is solely the Individuals
If he keeps good he is not likely to
retain his popularity or Unfortunately
increase his hank deposits. When a
man is chosen to office his interests
do not seem to be supreme, but after
he has been installed they often sud-
denly become so-then Satan appears
and says: There is something in this
for you and for me-" and discIoses the
scheme. Political schemes are as
numerous in legislative halls as flies
about the bunghole of a nolasses bar
rel. The temptation is never vested
in the small salary or the great honor
Of the office, but in the prospects"
Gee whizz! it makes an elector dizzy
to think of it! And the legislator
yields to temptation and pats himself
with glee. How can he keep good
when he is putting things ito the
good" and that look good to him?
Queer, isn't it, how good some things
that are bad, look to us. There are
some things which badly affect our
eyesight beside a glazing light.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

'FWhy should an immortal soul be
inpatient" asks John Oliver Hobbies,
calling attention to the fact. There
is all eternity for u.s." The Almighty
has not restricted US to time, for He
take no heed Of time to whom "a
thousand years are as a single day, and
a single day a. thousand years." Man
invented time for his own purposes,
God did not need it for His. AS a
servant to time man has lost sight of
his unending CAREER. His gift Of life
outlasts empires and the wreck of
worlds. The spirit of man is one
thing which no force can destroy, and
of which God alone Gan Tpake an end.
Why, then, should he be full of fear
and be harassed by worry? He is
from God, of God, and must forever
abide with God. AS an observer Of
the law and as a violator of 1t, he
creates his own place, which is the
place he fits. Heaven knows no mis-
fits. What you are determines where
you belong; and we are assured that
each soul finds it's own place. Peni-
tence may be mans salvation, but it
has to be different from the shallow
sorrow which SO constantly shadows
the walks of man.

Chelsea, which was the old-time
name for Norwich, began, about 1925,
a series of experiments. Miss Caulkins
tells us, for enlarging the bounds of
knowledge, experiments which afford
pleasing evidence of the gradual ex-
pansion of intellect and enterprise"
AS evidences Of this exalted evolu-
ton, she cites lyceun, a circulating
library, a reading club, a society for
mutual improvement, and mechanics
association. These were successfully
started; and although most of them
were of brief duration, they were, we
are assured. cheering tokens of an
advance in the right path

II is a good idea in this world to
make the thugs you don't like into
things you do like. You cannot do it
by getting a crouch on. A crouch
never improved anything, yet; neither
the nail that is bent, nor the hammer
that flies off the handle. Look calm
and keep pleasant. Don't get excited
Bide your time. The skies may keep
cloudy for a month, but they cannot
keep gray all the time. The gray days
are twice as numerous as sunshiny
days. Heaven knows too much sun
shine IS not good for US, so by divine
decree we get just enough. Things we
don't like needn't absorb our attention
Let the things we do like bring US 10y
but keep the things we do not like
from adding to our misery. Remem-
Der it is necessary to be a friend to
have a friend; also that grouchy re-
marks draw out sharp rebuSes. We
can keep our own atmosphere agree
able by keeping ourselves agreeable;
and we can make the grcuches sorry by
not replying in the same spirit. It
pays to keep sweet when those around
us are getting sour. The ship-maeter
knows that the severer the storm the
calmer he must keep. We must find
repose in ourselves when conditions
about us are turbulent.

The gold finches are back in the
garden and we are glad to see them.
They are as sure to come where bach
eIors buttons and sunfowers go to
seed as where the thistles fade and
show their silk. Because Of his close
association with the Thistle, with the
silk of which he lines his nest, the
gold finch has been called the thistle
bird; and because Of the musical char
acter of his song he is in many sec
tions called the American canary, and
once used to be a favorite among our
native cage birds. Gibson translates
his song as 1--WE cheated we, per
chicka-apee--per chick-a-pee!" and
asks: What but the tiny gold finch
has passed overhead in its looping
flight, festooning the ether III glancing
drapery of black and gold, each en-
broidered loop pinned with wisp Of
song?" He doesn't migrate but stays
like the hardy sparrows and chickadees
and faces the winds and fTosts and
storms of winter in a plumage so
rusty that it is difficult to identify
him, when he comes to the back door
with the juncos in winter to pick uf
the crumbs from the table cloth or the
seeds which have been generously
spread upon the ice or snow for the
little plumaged searchers for susie
nance.
