Thc True Artist.

The artist is always child in fresh
ness of feeling; in unw0rldly delight
in the things which do not add to ones
estate, but which make for inward
joy and peace, and that easy posses
sion of the world which brings the
sense of freedom, the right to be hap
py, and the faith that life is greater
than its works, and man more i'm
portant than his toll. A race, like an
individual, must get this consciousness
of possession before the work of the
day becomes imperative and absorbing.

Replacing the Orchards.

The American Red Cross has given
$4,000 TO assist in the replanting of
trees in the orchards laid bare by the
Germans. With this sum 10000 fruit
trees will be replaced in the devas-
tated orchards of Belgium and north
ern France

Earmhouses Modernized.

AS farmhouses become adapted to
the taste of the women who are, in
so many cases, taking over their man
agement, 1t is found that many of the
old institutions of the farmhouse
the parlor, the many small rooms, the
dark halls-are disappearing. Parti-
tions are torn out to make spacious
living rooms; porches are added, and
everything is arranged for the utmost
convenience of the housekeeper who
is also tender of the fields.-Excbange
