Children.

Children are Gods own creation. And
il would be wise TO follow his own dl-
rection about the growth of our chill
dren'S mind toward freedom and light.
The highest education is chat which
does not merely give us information,
but makes our life in harmony with all
existence.
Children are in love with life. and it
is their first love They are not born
asceticS, fit TO enter at once into the
monastic discipline of acquiring knowl-
edge. At first they must gather knowl-
edge through their love of life, and
then they will renounce their lives to
gain knowledge, and then again they
will come back to their fuller lives with
ripened wisdom -Rabindranath Taeore
in Hearst's Magazine.

The entire length Of the Hudson riv-
cr is 800 miles. From Troy to the
mouth of the river in New York bay,
a distance of 100 miles, the river is
tidal. owing to the low grade of its
bed, by which the ocean tide is able
to back up. 1t is this lower tidal nayi-
gable portion of the Hudson that is OF
10 much importance. and of course the
water is salt. 1t is regarded really an

Hundreds OF millions OF dollars Will

have to be taken care of. Russia,
with its forest acreage OF close to
100000, 600, stands first in order as
TO actual supply and the United

as Mr.. Casey points out, owing to its
advanced modern methods and uneX-
