The New Highway.

| I have been on a great many auto trips through New England but the one on the east side of the Thames is as bea utiful and interesting as any of them.
 At the Laurel Hill bridge one can see the Shetucket and the Thames rivers coming together to form a wa terway to the sea-
 At the top of the hill on looking around Norwich looks as if it were built on mountains.
 Before coming to the large state hospital one has a beautiful view of the river winding in and out for miles The opposite bank is very pretty; the fields are very green. and the low white buildings of the sana- torium built on hill make a very wonderful picture.
 Then we r2n through a grove of pines which is very fragrant. and came to a bridge which was at ono time a drawbridge. It is an excellent place to go grabbing and fishing. A great many tents are pitched around PoGuetanuck cove.
 Then we came to Stoddard's. Wharf. which is 3, lovely spot. Then on to Gales Ferry which is the training quarters of the Yale and Harvard oarsmen, and from. this point the col iege boat races start.
 The Eext place Is the Navy Yard. or the submarine base, It is the. most interesting part of the trip to me. It is the only submarine base on the eastern coast of the United States. It will always be used in time of war and peace, It is almost a city in It. self. having a water and fire sys- shops, etc. At fines there are be- tween three and four thousand men stationed here. = T. have counted four teen submarines docked at one time,

The Boy knigh

Once upon, time there was g boy named Robert. One rainy day as he was sitting near the window his mother called him and said:
 Robert. will you please go to the store for me-?
 Robert did not want to go; but went just the same.
 Robert had been reading about knights and wanted to be one. When he came home his mother gave him a bow Of blue ribbon because he was going to be a knight by doing little things.
 Tho next day when he was at school he was having his examination. His father had Said that if he passed all his tests he would give him a camera and his mother would give him a gold ring.
 He was afraid he would not pass the test, and as he sat in back of a very smart boy he was going to get a glance at his paper. when the pin on the bow of ribbon stuck into him; then he rem embered he wanted to be a knight and did not look at the paper.
 After he had finished the tests he went home with a sad heart.
 His mother asked him why he looked sad. and he said:
 T would love to have a camera, but I don't think I passed the tests.'' The next morning when he came back 10 school he was surprised to have the teacher call out his name for having passed the examinations.
 Then the presents faithfully earn ed, were given to him.

A Kind Deed.

Betty was a little girl about seven years of age. As she lived in the country she used to go. to a country school She used to study very well and therefore became a great favorite among her friends. Everybody loved her because she not only studied well. but she was very kind. especially to dumb animals.
 One day as little Betty was coming home from school she noticed little squirrel in her path. Quickly she ran to it to see what was the matter and also to see if she could help it. When she came to it she discovered that it. was caught i,l a trap which was set to catch skunks.
 It was very cold for it was winter. but she didn't mind that at all for she knew that if she'd set the squir- rell free she would be accomplishing a piece of good work.
 Then she set to work and so skilIful- 1y did she manage it that in few minutes the poor creature was free. How glad it was. You ought to have seen the way it was jumping around and trying to thank Betty for her kindness Then Betty took 1t up in- to her arms and Detted it so gently that it did not want to leave her.
 She felt very sorry for the poor thing and so took it and her books and hurried homeward. But she did not forget the trap; she took that, also
 When she reached home she at once told her mother about her adventure. You may be sure that she was prais- ed by both her parents. 7 Mir. Wise (Betty's father), regretted afterwards that he had set that trap
 The next day MT. Wise made the squirrel a nice little house and every day Betty would run out and feed it.
 Mrs Wise used to dress the wounds which were on it's hind foot. After 3 while the squirrels wounds were all

One day Mrs. Snow. Alice and I went picking huckleberries. Each of us took a large pail and a quart pail.
 When we reached the place and were ready to pick berries. Mrs. Snow said:
 "The first one who fills his small pail with berries. shall have a pear as q prize We got busy, each trying to win the prize. Mrs. Snow and I filled had a pear to eat. while Alice contfn- ued picking. By the time we ate our pears Alice filled her pail.
 ''Now we will try for another prize, which will be an orange" said Mrs Snow. This time, Alice was the win ner.
 After we filled our third pail we ate our lunch under two large oak trees. After lunch we took rest. and la ter continued picking.
 Tn one place we found plenty of huckleberries.
 Mrs. Snow said: TT wonder why no one had picked these berries. they are so large and plentiful" And sudden ly she exclaimed. Hook here. girls!

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE

We are coming soon to the days of the seedpods. and it will be interest ing to carefully examine some of them with a handglass to learn that a seed Is often more than you think it is-a thing of beauty as well as of useful ness
 It has been said Nature does up her greatest trea asures in small bundles. The great cedar trees of the west that live 5000 years and grow higher than church steep1e and become 20 feet in diameter. and weigh scores of tons, score as small seeds.
 One of the most interesting seed- pods is that of the poppy. A box on a stem with a fluted ornamental cover, which has doubtless furnished the pattern for many pretty goblet or vase; and when the seeds are ripe five holes appear under the edge of the cover and it has become a seed distributing box for the winds to sway and to play with; and the dry seeds whirl around in the box. and a few arc cast out through the holes, near or far according to the strength of the wind, which with an inside swirl and sway win cast the seeds dozen feet from itself. This is device just as much as a hand sower invented by man. These tiny seeds are kidney shaped and handglass shows they arc decorated with fine lines which look as if they were made by an artist.
 Then re will take the seedpod of the hoflyfock.-and we shall find the flat seeds packed in around pedestal. with what in wood would be described as a turned circular pointed top; and the parts or lobes hattened out make a perfect fve-pointed star with an or narnental center. very much like the stars in the American flag, which men find by looking down. not by looking upl The stars overhead do not have five points when looked at through glass.
 The seeds are in shape very much like the ear of a mouse, are 8 very dark brown with white f1uted edge, and are pretty enough to decorate a lady's -to-meetfng cloak

The Beaver.

When this country was first settled beavers were found i'll great numbers throu ghont Canada and the United States. They are not half so abun- dant now as they were in those days. In many states there are laws prohib- iting the trapping of beaver.
 The beaver is a water animal, like the muslrat, and also looks like the n1usIrat, but it is much larger. It has a. heavy body. short neck and scaly tail. The hind feet are large and strong, and the toes are connected by a web. The front feet are smaller. The tail is paddle shaped, four or five inches wide. and about ten inches long. When full grown. the beaver will weigh from forty to fifty pounds The food Of the beaver consists mostly of bark, of such wood as poplar. birch, willow and cottonwo pod, as well as the rcots of the water lily.
 Beavers build houses of sticis. stones and mud similar in shape Aa that of the nuskrat. locating usually on the edge of a pond or lake; but they often make a large pond to suit them selves by building dam across the st-am. These dams are built with the same material as the houses, some times there are one or two smaller dams below the main dam. and they are so well made that they will last for

The Dvino Soldier.

A soldier had been fatally wound ed during the days battle and was now dying. His comrades had taken him to quiet place in the field and were trying to bring him back to health.
 He raised his head and said slowly: hen you go back home tell my mother that I am not coming home to see her. and give her nay farewell kiss With that he laid down and closed his eyes in the sleep from which he would never awake.
 His comrades buried him and went on their way with sad hearts.
 When the war was over the con- rades of that soldier boy reached home and told the mother of her sons farewell message.
 They expected to see her burst into tears, but instead she cries softly and said: Thank Godi He died for his couEtry."
