Value Of Thunderstorms.

"Thunderstorms, says Professor
Ward in Science, bring us much that
Is OF benefit. To them we owe much. In
parts Of our country even most OF our
spring and summer rainfall. without
these benefcent thunderstorms our
great staple crops east OF the Rocky
mountains would never reach matur'
ity. One good thunderstorm over con-
siderable area at critical crop stage
is worth hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars TO American farmers Our stock
markets time and again show the ia
vorable reaction of such conditions
upon the price OF cereals and also OF
railroad and other stocks. Thunder
showers break our summer droughts,
cleanse our dusty air, refresh our
parched earth, replenish our failing
streams and brooks, bring us cool even
ings and nights after sultry and OPP
pressive days"

Woman and Her Beauty.

Woman is the master stroke Of beau.
ty. Woman Is the jewel In the crown.
No chisel ever carved such lines of
softness; no painter ever put such lus-
ter I'm the eye. Nature nodded cliffs
and gave us twilights, gave US the
horizon In the east and west: gave us
the flowing, shimmering river that
travels toward the sea; let the moon
beams glimmer on the tranquil ocean /;
gave us flowers with their fluffy pet
ais, some soft and snowy white. 9th
ers tinted all the colors Of the rain
bow. Yet when all has been looked
upon, when all the landscapes have
been viewed with wonder, man turns
back to something stronger, turns back
to that which soothes and heals, back
to that which satisfies the eve and
neutrality-suspicious., the crowning glo-

kinderssrtens.

1.-THE first kindergartens In our coun-
try" said an educator. were conduct
ed for the children OF the well to do.
The remarkable value of this training
for the children OF the poor was soon
recognised, and mission kindergartens
became numerous Then the more
progressive cities and towns tried them
experimentally in their public schools.
That their worth has been abundantly
proved is clearly shown by the spread
of the kindergarten, and the general
introduction of kindergarten training
departments into state normal schools
and city training schools.
AT present 1,22S cities have an ag-
gregate of s,463 kindergartens in their
public schools. with an enrolment OF

Tho Diphthong.

Answering the question, why was
the diphthong devised and why has 1t
disappeared from general useT" the
New York Sun says:
A diphthong is any two vowels that
come together In the spelling of a word.
Diphthongs were not deliberately de-
vised any more than English spelling
was deliberately invented. They have
not disappeared from general use ex-
cept in few instances. In a proper
diphthong" the sounds OF both vowels
are retained though merged in one syl-
liable, as In noise" An Improper
diphthong" is one in which the sound
Of only one of the vowels is heard.
go" In people" is an illustration. Such
changes as have been made In diph-
thongs have aimed at keeping the VOW
ell sounded That is why some prefer
to write "maneuver" In place of ma
noeuvre." Then there is the simplified

"Pie is all you need give any man for

more you give him of it the better he
likes 1t. So give it to him, but be sure
to give him the best, most nourishing
kinds of pie, for there is a great differ
ence.
"Mince pie is the best because 1t has
more food value. But It is also the
most expensive. Prune pie properly
draped and trimmed Is favorite with
my men, and they know good pie when
