EMPLOY TIE BOYS AND G1RGs.

When you plan excursions and pic
MICS for boys and girls, give them
something to do 1t will keep them
from mischief Let them hunt far and
near for the first visible ferns. If
they are taken up with care they will
live and grow luxuriantly. bed of
ferns under your sitting room window
or near your piazza steps will bring
sort of woody fragrance filed with pleas
ant suggestions. If they have been
taught a few lessons in botany they
will get sensible enjoyment from a day
in the woods. If they DO nothing else
except to distinguish the difference be-
tween leaves they will take bit of in
formation home with them.
1t is a well-known fact that many OF
the bad habits that children acquire
and which have to be severely dealt
with grow out of idle ways that de-
velop into Stubborn habits-hard to
eradicate.
Their minds are idle because their
hands are Idle. Sometimes a fretful,
disconnected child can have its mood
dspelled by giving ii something to do.

but it will take nearly all my time"
Exactly So" 1 replied, "but bad
children will do more harm to you than
your endeavOrs have occupied your
time"
1t is a serious thing to be responsible
for the training of a child-because so
much depends on giving the child the
right start with needed discipline.
However, those who seem to do the
best work in child training are unant-
nous in declaring you must keep a
child busy with something to do, or the
child will go ahead and not only grow
up headstrong and disagreeable, but
they will give you heartaches beyond
measure.
As | see it. every child in the FAM
ilv should have particular task to be
COMPLETED in a particular time and with
careful exactness-to inculcate good
habits.

JULY.

July has come! the meadow-lands
In verdure stretch away;
In broad-brimmed hat the mower
stands
Knee deep amid the hay;
The scent of clover fills the air,
While sunfiowers gaily nod
And Natures children sweetly share
The Joy of praising God.

echo OF CANOES Case

The trial Of Samuel Gauges, who
was convicted at the last term Of the
Court Of Oyer and Terminer of the

The alleged false statements made
by Stevens was that he had been talk
ing with John Alexander in Camden,
y. j., two or three days after the muir
der Of the Bodeski girl. and that Alex
ander had told him that Spiro Mich
olas and Nick Nicholas had quarreled
the night OF the murder, and that
Spiro had insisted upon sleeping in
a boat or a boat house against the
wishes OF Nick Nicholas: that later he
had heard a female voice cry out in
English, "Spiro. let me gol Spiro. let
me go!" and that when he rushed up
to the restaurant he saw Catherine
Bodeski lying dead on the ground and
the old woman wounded (mean.ng
Mrs. Nichols and Spiro standing
there.
The case will so TO the jury this
