This country, above all others, abounds in faces of nature. All the eastern and middle states are dotted with mountains and. hills in thou sand varying shapes, and 1t would be strange if nature had not induleed in her well-known freaks, On the Hud. son river, St. Anthony's Nose is a prominent object, and there are other faces well known to the traveller.

Oyster Cheap Food.

Only the sea herring can equal the oyster in cash value as product Of the sea. This is partly because they are so palatable and partly becau4e they are so inexpensive. A pint can usually be purchased for 20 cents on the coasts and nourishing stew for several persons can be made of pint of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean produces more oysters than are to be found in the oyster beds of all other countries, but oyster farming Is ;a profitable industry in many lands. The mid-Atlantic coast is particularly noted for its oysters.

Why Children Believe in Fairies.

To the children fairies stand for all the wonderful and unpredictable 2ossi- bilities of life, for all the magic of 1t. It's charm, of unexpectedness. A child Is bit puzzled by the inevitable; in the fairy world it-does not exist. In that world he; slips away from the world of grown-ups, with its endless consequences remorselessly bounding the gay, irresponsible little-child do- .ngs. He loves the grown-ups and 1t Is mot from them that he wishes to es- cape, but from their world, their dihi- cult, unyielding world.-Trom the At- lantic.

Prooress Of civilization.

The insane asylum as it exists today is modern institution. Time was when people whose minds were dis traught were permitted to mix with the world except when they developed violent symptoms making them obvi- ously dangerous, and then they were confined, sometimes in chains, as if they. were wild beasts, with no pro- vision for medical attendance and physical comfort such as society ac- cords them now. The modern attitude toward the problem of the community's 2 responsibility for the care of the h. sane attests the growth of human feel ing and marks the progress of civiliza- tion.

]. obliterstlho Glass Distinctions.

'f Modern and cultured persons, be- lieve. object to their children seeing kitchen cothpahy or being taught by a 1kGnian like peggotty. But surely it Is more important to be educated in q eense of ilumnh dignity and equality than in ahythins else in the world. And child who'shas once had to re spect a kind and capable woman of the lower classes will respect the lower classes forever. The true way to over- ccnoe the evil in class distinctions Is not to denounce them as revolutionists denounce them, but to ignore them as children ignore them.-G. K. Chester tnn.

W. c. T. U.

Another happy meeting of the Union was held yesterday afternoon in the spacious home of Mrs. R. L.. Blakely.
 l It was Flower Mission Day, and a , beautiful and inspiring program was led by Mrs. J. o. A. Bush. It seemed to the writer that every paper was as full of tenderness as the Spring time and as full of sweetness as the roses, blue bells, sweet peas and Con- federate jessamine that had been brought in for distribution among the sick and shut-ins, as we'll as to few strangers in our midst. Flowers were not as plentiful as usual, hence good many friends were in mind who could not be remembered. For this reason, it was decided to hold the meeting earlier in the year in the fu- ture and Mrs. Martin Guthrie and Miss Ethel Bailey were appointed superintendents of this department.
 On account of Chautauqua opening on the afternoon for the next meet ing, it was decided that meeting be held next week on Thursday after noon, and that linen shower be made for the w. c. T. U. room at the Sanitarium. Mrs. Sam Logan will be hostess with Mrs. c. L. Green leader.
 The Prescott Union has nearly 100 members. Let each and all contrib ute something to the need and com fort of the w. c. T. U. room. Any contribution from friends will be duly appreciated. Send all contributions to Mrs. Sam o. Logan.
 Sunday being antl.clgarette day for all Sunday schools, it was urged that all superintendents pay due attention to the subject.
 Mrs. Blakely, assisted by Miss Era Lewis, served delicious ice and waters
 One new member, Mrs. Leslie, pinned on the white ribbon.
 We were delighted to have as vis- itors Mrs. Fred Powell, Mrs. Thomas and Miss Lewis.-Reporter.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS

Complaint is being made that own CTS or occupants of residence prop erty within the city are emptying water from bath tubs. lavatories. closets, wash basins, sinks and other appliances into the ditches and on the ground. The law in that respect is:
 "Sec. 226. That all property own CTS and residents and occupants of buildings are hereby prohib- ited from using and discharging water therefrom into any of the ditches or upon the ground in the City of Pres cott."
 A violation of that law is punish able by fine of not less than 5000 nor more than $25.00.
 No argument can be advanced in favor of a violation of this law. I have given property owners and oc- cupants nearly five years within which to connect all appliances men, tioned in the ordinance with the city sewer. The extension of time was granted on the ground that many property owners were not financially able to make the necessary improve ments. The future health of the people demands strict and immedi- ate compliance with the law.
 Notice is therefore hereby given that beginning June 1st, 1917, each and every violation of the above ordi- nance, in the residence or business sections of the city, as well as all health ordinances, will be prosecuted and each day shall constitute sep arate offense. The mere fact that tho nronertv doeS not he1onu to tho occupant will be no justification for violating the law.
 This May 18th, 1917.

 That's right" said the teacher "Now, Ralph, you may tell me what currier is."
