The truth Is that Australia is glutted

struggling to keep prices up to a prof
liable level. Also, while there was
big advance in the prices Of Japan's

TO the manipuatiOns of hoarders and

Millions of Boys and Girls
Have Physical Defects Which
Impede Their Development

Fifty per cent Of 25,0OO,OOO boys and
girls of school age in this country have
physical defects and ailments which
impede their normal development. ac-
cording to the annual report of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the national phys
ical education service. The estimate
was made following numerous investi-
cations conducted by members of the
committee.
A lack Of proper physical education,
such as play, athletics. work and gym
snastics was attributed by the commit
tee as the cause for the physical disa-
bility, and q broad program of state
and federal legislation for the re-
quired education was urged as a means
Of bringing children to the proper
standard.

BUDDING TIME TOO BRIEF

o little buds break not so fast!
The springs but new,
The skies will yet be brighter blue,
SAnd sunny, too.
I would you might thus sweetly last
Till this glad seasons overpast.
y Nor hasten through.
It is 50 exquisite to feel
The light, warm sun;
To merely know the winter done.
And life begun; :.
And to my heart no blooms appeal
For tenderness SO deep and real,
AS anyone.
OF these first April buds, that hold
The hint OF springs
Rare perfectness that May-time brings.
So take not wings!
Oh, linger, linger, nor unfold
Too swiftly through the mellow mould.
Sweet growing things!
And Grant birds, and honey bees.
Seek not to vile:
And. sun, let not your warmest smile
Quite yet beguile
The young peach-boughs and apple trees
To trust their beauty to the breeze;
Wait yet awhile!

Origin of Word miniature"
Small, Hand-Painted Portrait

The origin Of the miniature" is as
follows: In the golden days OF Roman
literature, to be a successful author
was to be as great as king, for kings
looked to their poets for immortality,
rs Augustus Caesar did to Horace.
Hence it was to be expected that au-
tEcrs would feel their importance and
display more or less vanity. One OF
their weaknesses was to see their por-
trait painted in artistic fashion In
their parchment books. This work was
ibtrusted to artists called "miniatores,
that is, artists whose work was large
ly done in vermilion, color. extracted
from cinnabar, and called by the Ro-
mans minimum" The "miniatOres''
chose. the oval form for their beautiful
brilliant portraits on the parchment
books, and hence the origin of the term
"n:;niature," small hand-painted oval
o. round portrait.

Indiana Youngsters Make
Good Profit in Operating
Back Yard Fish-Worm Farm

This is n worm story and it concerns
fishermen, angleworms, three boys and
the unusual but profitable business in
which the lads are engaged. All the
facts scrambled together and the re-
subtitle angle worm company Of In
dianapolis, Mike Cain, aged twelve,
president.
Three years ago the boys, who were
playmates, were offered a dime by a
merchant to get him a quart Of angle
worms. That was their start, and dur
ing the seasons for angle worms since
then they have built up trade which
last year called for them to supply
about ten gallons Of worms n week to
fishermen. At the close Of the 1913
season they decided to form company
and announcements were sent to Gus
toners recently that the company
would supply the worms to the trade
this year.
A sworn farm has been developed
in the back yard Of the president The
worms are fed at regular intervals. and
cared for as a farmer would his live
stock or poultry fancier his chick

the stock on hand by digging in places
where experience has taught them

If one wants ordinary worms he can
get them cheaper than he can "the big

advertises as choice. and the ones fish
In creeks and rivers like best. The

has bought only an occasional spade
or bucket, and has no financial losses.
However, the president said he Is not

OF the Ever-Pa tient and {
Careful SchooIte acher

A schOOlteacher Is person who
teaches things to people when they
are young. The teacher comes to
school at $3.50 o'clock, and when she
has gotten enough children for a mess
in her. home she teaches them read
ing, writing, geography, grammar,
arithmetic, music, drawing, cooking,
board saving, crocheting, deep breath
ing, bird calls, scientific eating, pa
triotism, plain and fancy bathing,
forestry, civics, and other sciences too
numerous to mention. When school
is out, she stays behind with five or six
of her worst scholars and tries to save
the state the job Of reforming them
later on. =
l. After that she hurries home to make
herself a new dress and snatch a hasty
supper before going back to attend a
lecture by an imported specialist on
the history Of tribal law in Patagonia,
which the superintendent thinks may
be useful in her school work some day.
A great many lecturers raid the coun-
try, preying on schoolteachers, and
some Of them are very cruel, talking
to them so long that the poor things
have to sit up until morning, when they
get home to get their daily test papers
corrected.
Schoolteachers' salaries range from
$50 month up, but not far enough
up to make them dizzy. On her salary
the teacher must dress nicely, buy her
self things for her work which the city
is too poor to get, go to % lectures and
concerts year, buy helpful books on
pedagogy, pay her way to district,
county and state institutes, and en-
joy herself during threemonths' va
cation, which her salary takes every
year. In addition, the teacher is sup
posed to hoard away vast sums OF
money, so that when she becomes too
nervous and cross to teach, at the age
Of fifty or Whereabouts, she can retire
and live happily ever after on her in

Polar Star and Some of
the Wonders of This Great
Beacon of the Far North

Most people, if they know nothing
else of astronomy, at any rate know
the pole STAR the one star which seems
to keep it's place in the heavens with
out movement of any kind. There are
Il great many, however, says the
Rehoboth Sunday Herald, who do not
know what wonderful thing it is, in
the first place, it can be seen when
looked at through good telescope to
be two stars and not one. There is
one fairly bright one, of what is known
as the second magnitude, and another
Of the ninth magnitude close to it.
But that is not all. The brighter of
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another, or, rather, round
their common center Of gravity, like
three children playing 'ring a ring of
rOses.''
This secret is revealed to us by what
is perhaps the most astonishing of all
scientific instruments, the spectroscope.
It not only tells us what the stars are
made of, but whether they are moving
toward us or away from us.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that it does not appear to move as the
others do is that it is nearly in line
with the axis Of the earth. Its dis
lance from US is enormous. This car
be judged from the fact that although
the earth in its journey around the sun
is today about 10000 900 miles from
where it was six months ago, that
makes no appreciable difference to Its
distance from the pole star. 1t must
therefore be many times 190,OO0,OO
miles away.
