We We're lettering in the sun,
And had such a pleasant fancy
Of girls and flowers as being one

Each of them like some flower that

Within sheltered garden close?
That day, as came in, troop
OF girls stood in a rosy group
About the teachers desk-sweet Nell
And Catharine, Charlotte, Isabel
And Blanche and Marion and Tess,
Each in her gay and pretty dress,
In white and green and pink and
blue,
In lavender and scarlet, too,
With brown and black and golden
hair; ...
And all so young and all so fair,
They seemed a cluster of bright
flowers ~...>.~....- ...-..
Of sunshine born and sunlit showers,
The lovely things of leafy bowers.

PRESIDENT FILLMORE.

Present day passion for setting un-
appreciated historical characters in
a new light has now reached Presi-

by sixteen American publishers says
of him: He abolished debt imprison-

Perry on his famous expedition to ia
pan, with instructions for action that
won the open door" and laid the
foundation for American japanese
friendship. In his retirement as a
citizen of Buffalo, Fillmore laid the
foundations of most of it's present
cultural instructions. Always he was
an opponent of war and a construc-
tive statesman. But he lacked those
qualities as a man and those ambi-
lions as a politician which might have
made him popular while he lived and
read about today.

WHAT WE COULD DO.
.Mdnftor-

Emerson says, "What we need more
than anything else in the world is
somebody who can make us do what
we would" What a splendid thing
it would be if every human being had
some levelheaded, loyal friend who
would be frank with him, and show
him how much more he is capable of
than he is actually doing.
If your achievement does not ap-
proNimate your ambition there is
something wrong somewhere, because
your ability to achieve and your am
bit1on to achieve were intended to go
together. The enormous discrepancy
between the ambition and the actual
performances of most of us shows
that there is serious lack some.

This is a problem which we must
solve if we would give our best serY-

FINE ART IN CANDLE MAKING.

The making Of candles is not ordi,
narily considered fine art, but the
Italians have made it such. The dis
tinctively Italian votive taper is made
by hand. The materials are pure
bees-wax, which is lSneaded and temp
cred and mixed with a secret ingredi-
ent to retard combustion and which
has special Egyptian cotton for wicks.
The cotton, too, is treated with chem
icals to keep it from feeding too fast.
Small candles are nodded. Large ones
are made by rolling up sheets OF wax.
That gives the candle great strength
and enables it to- stand erect when
a nodded candle would bend under the
heat. After the candle is fashioned it
goes to the decorators, men who are
skilled in the use Of the brushes, and
when it leaves their hands it is work
of art,

HOUSES MADE OF GLASS,

Glass is becoming more general,
used as building material each year
For some years glass bricks have
been utilized where strength and dur
ability as well as beauty were essen
tlal features. Glass is used for wains
cotlng, for partitions, for ceilings and
for facing the fronts of buildings. II
is also being used for foundations.
1t has been demonstrated that the
crushing strength of glass is three
times that of granite, six times that
of ordinary brick and ten times that
of concrete Another advantage ii
has over these materials is that it is
absolutely nonabsorbent, so that a
glass building can be perfectly dry

TRAIN CHILDREN TO BE NEAT

Ihere are many people who battle
'helr bodies and keep their clothing
clean, who are careless of their an.
pearance in other ways. The teeth.
mouth, nose, ears, hair, hands and
nails must receive attention as well.
Scientists declare that more than
sixty per cent of all disease has its
origin above the chin; that disease
germs enter the body principally
through the mouth; that child's
health can be only as good as its
teeth. A child can not attain a high
standard of scholarship when dis.
turbed by an unhealthy condition of
the mouth. Two decayed teeth will
retard child six months in school
and adenoids will set him back a
year.
The care of the hands, nails. nose
ears and hair should be discussed
Hair to be beautiful must be washed
often and brushed thoroughly. Many
Oil glands or bags open close to the
roots of the hair, and if the hair is
brushed often it will be smooth and
beautiful from the natural hair oil.
Each person should own a brush and
comb of his own and should use no
other. Everyone should be careful
not to acquire any habits that are
offensive to others. Cleaning the
teeth with toothpick, or manicuring
the finger-nails, splitting and count
less other habits, are very unpleas.
ant and show lack of consideration
and good manners. =s.
Clothing may be plain and simple.
but must be clean and neat. Untidi-
ness gives others bad impression
and shows carelessness. Untidy peo-
pie do not command respect. The
shoes must be nicely brushed and
the clothing clean and free from
dust. 1t takes good many
brushes to make a clean, neat an.
pearance, a tooth thrush, nail-brush. a
hand-brush, a hair-brush, a clothes
brush, and a shoe-brush. In many
schools, at the present time, a daily
inspection is made, and children are
graded on personal efficiency and
neatness. Shoes, hands, clothes and
teeth are examined every morning
and the pupil given a mark, which he
takes home monthly.

When December bends the knee
To the coming of the Child;
When November winds are stilled
And a winter dawn hath smiled,
IT'S then the white robed stranger
Walks down the dying year
To lay, and at the manger,
The treasures held most dear.
The fallen leaves she garnered,
The flowers which bloomed for long,
The busy bees low humming,
The wild rilTs plaintive song:
"All these l hold" she tells Him,
Beneath my garb of snow;
I lay them at Thy feet, o Christ!
Nor farther could l go"
She kneels in hottest homage,
Kneels at the manager blest
TO speak for all the year that's past,
Her brayest and her best.
"1nv months have some their varied
ways
In shadow or in shine
But, Thou, O Child, doth sanctify
This month OF Thine and mine"
To make it worth I've spread a robe
OF Wilderness DER the earth,
To make it fit, that thus my God
Might chose it for His birth"
The God Child stretched His tiny
hand,
Touched DEFENDERS pearly hem
As if to say, thy votive gift
Were as richest diadem!

THE BEST BIOGRAPHIES.

President Wilson says that his ia
vorite books are biographies. The
lives of the great saints can be read
for instruction, devotion and inspira
ton. Ignatius was converted into a
great saint by reading in a military
hospital Of the wonders performed by
the heroes of the spiritual life. The
limitation of Christ" has inspired
countless souls in the spiritual com
bat. The greatest book of all is the
New Testament which tells lis of the
divine words and deeds of Christ.
