Animals at Play.

That the lower animals do not
laugh. that they have no sense of
hurnor, is hard to understand when we
think how thoroughly they love to
play. From the highest to the hum
blest, they show the keenest Joy in
sport, but they cannot laugh! If they
could, perhaps the power would bring
with 1t other mental gifts, such as
to upset the whole order of things. Be
that as it may, the watcher of wild
life never gets used to the sight of
their mirthless sport. for in all other
respects their play is entirely hui
man.
a great deal OF human play is Sc
rious-desperately serious on the foot
ball field and at the card table, espe-
cialiy when a lonely player at soli-
taire, for instance, is trying TO kill
time
Il have watched a great, ungainly
hippopotamus trying by the hour to

MAKING HoUSEWoRK EASIER

the Country.

The sale of household and kitchen
utensils is subject to all sorts {
chances and changes from the fiuctua-
tions in public taste and the march OF
improvement. Wood bowls and mine
ing knives were once staples. but the
invention of food choppers has seri
ously diminished their usefulness
The growing popularity of aluminium
utensils has had some setback be
cause housekeepers find the metal
harder to keep clean and bright than
enamel ware.
The old-fashioned castiron pots. skill

have given place to wrought-steel
utensils. much lighter and more last

such as mechanical lighters in place
of matches. asbestos mats to keep
things hot, soap containers for dish
washing. cool handled stove lifters. and
the like One of the great changes
that has come in the household is the
vacuum cleaner, taking the place of
the broom. the carpet sweeper and
the carpet heater, and saving all this
hard hand labor, since Che best and
most efficient cleaner is electrically
run and needs only to be attached TO
the electric lighting plug.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs. and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, OF disease of brain or lungs.

EDUCATION FOR DEVELOPMENT.

Education may be divided into three
grand divisions: First. a school train
ing ia the so-caIled three RS. This
is fundamental, and without it. fur
Their education is impossible. Second
ly, broad or liberal education. such as
is given in our high schools. colleges,
and other institutions of learning.
for his vocation. Thirdly. education
directly bearing upon ones selected
calling, like that given by the medical,
law, and technical schools.
In this article shall confine myself
to the second class, that OF education
which stands between fundamental
and vocational training.
Authorities are divided. Some over
practical men claim that this cultural
education is not necessary, and that
the boy should jump Immediately from
the fundamentals into training
which would directly assist him in the
work of his life; other educational ex-
perts strongly advocate liberal edu-
cation, like that given in our colleges,
asserting that it will broaden the
mind and fit it better to grasp the re-
quirements of the future. These lat
ter authorities do not object to the
technical training, but they would
have the young man ground himself
in general culture, if | may put it that
training. or during the time in which
he is obtaining it.
Many of the colleges are following
out this idea. and adapting their cur
ricula to it, allowing the student to
study general subjects while he is TAX
ing up one or more directly in the line
/ of his future work.
1t has been said that one cannot be
too broadly educated. This is true.
provided this education can be OBJ
tanned without too great sacrifice.
If boy is going to enter business
where he cannot directly use the class
les or other cultural subjects, and can
not obtain a knowledge of them ex-
cept at enormous sacrifice, | advise
him to forego college education; but,
If he is in a position to become lib
orally educated, irrespective of his
coming calling, suggest for him a
university course. or any other form
of broad education. which win un
doubtedly better fit his mind to absorb
the technique of his trade.
II, however one is to enter pro
fession, this general broad education
will be found Of direct value to him
although he may not use all of it. His
mind then becomes his working tools
and it should be trained along the
broadcast and most liberal lines, 6
training which is not as necessary i
one is to enter business.
1t is the man, more than the educa
ton. The education at best can only
! assist him in his development.
In summing up, l would say: &c
, all the education you can, cultural anC
otherwise, provided you can do 81
without injury to your health or Il
your prospects. If you are so situatet
, that you cannot well afford the time
because it is necessary for you to b.
self-supporting at an early age.
would suggest that you forego mucl
, of this education, which otherwise
would advise you to obtain.
When in doubt, get more education
, than you think you need, rather thai
less. 1t is simply a question of wheth
er you can afford to pay the price.
