ground property, 1t is interesting to
note the career of Frederick troebel,
the first Kindergarten.
Froebei was Une son OF a Lutheran
minister, and was born April 81, 1882
HIS mother died about a year later.
Froebel was educated by antlthetms.
At the age of ten he was sent TO live
with his uncle, who brought him up
to work hard, but who treated him
like human being, answering his
many questions, allowing him to have
stick horses, log houses, and a garden
of his own. During the years he hv-
ed under the tutelage of his STEP
mother, Froebels instructions had
mostly been in the line of prohibition.
Always he had been warned to look
out" When he went on the street
1t was with prophecy that he would
get run over by cart, or stolen by
gypsies, or fall off a bridge and be
drowned. The idea of danger was
dlnged always into his ears, and fear
early bedame fabric of his nature.
AT fifteen years of age, when his in
tellect told him there were no bears in
the woods, the shudder habit was so
firmly fixed upon him that he al
ways took pains to get out of the
woods before shutdown, Ito avoid the
bears"
troebel's first work was as a for
rester's assistant, and two years in
the forest taught him to look out, not
IN, end to lend hand. The woods,
and Gods great OFT of doors, gave
HIM balance and ballast, good dies
ton, and sweet sleep at night. LaC.r,
troebel became professor in a Jena
preparatory school, then pracUiced
medicine, and after while got so far
IN debt that he was put into jail by
his credAors. After troebel was re-
leased from prison he became inter-
ested IN The theories of PestalozLi, a
SWISS, who believed in teaching out
of doors, because children are both
barbara and nomadIc, and alway S
want to go somewhere. Herr Gruner,
master OF model school for teachers
at frankfort, first employed troebel
as a teacher. He was then a cornbi-
nation JanltOr and instructor, ard
worked for his board and $3.50
week. Froebel atterward visited Pes
talozzi at his farm near Yverdon. in
Switzerland, the money for his ex?
lenses beng supplied by Gruner. That
troebel walked 200 miles during his
Journey to Switzerland was but an
incident of the trip.
The first kindergarten was estab-
hshed by Froebel in 1856 at Blank
enburg, a little village near Keilhau,
IN Germany. Froebel invented the
school ma'am. He was the first to
employ women as teachers. Love was
the keystone, and joy, unselfshness
and answering faith in the natural
or ulvlne impulses of humanity crkwn-
ed the structure of Froebel's Rrst
kindergarten. All the songs, the gifts.
the games, he invented, defended,
tried and tried again. Froebel died
in 1852.

Early BookseIlers.

The first booksellers catalogue In
the English language, so far as is
known, Is one bearing a date of 1913
years ago. 1t was issued by Andrew
Haunsoll of Lothbury, England, and
contains an elaborate dedication to
Queen Elizabeth. The first booksellers
in England were migratory peddlers,
who carried their small stock on their
backs, and thus may more properly
be called pioneer book agents.
In the course of time some of the
more prosperous hawkers of literature
set up small stalls or booths and thus
became known as "statiOners." This
is the origin of the word stationer, now
generally applied to dealers in "sta-
tionery," which has come to mean writ
ing materials, paper, pens, ink and
similar articles. Booksellers In Eng
land were for centuries treated as
near-criminals and subjected to many
restrictions, which were not wholly
removed until 1858. The booksellers
OF both England and America now have
powerful associations, the former dat
ing from 1929.

DON'T need SCENT
Why Perfumes Are Not Over.
Popular in America.
Writer Sees Cause for congratuIation
In the Fact That Heavy Artificial
odors Are Not Needed Here,
as in Europe.

That the sefise of smell is sadly neg
lected is an opinion expressed every
once in while by those who pride
themselves ON a highly cultivated OIL
| factory faculty. Just the other day
perfumer complained about the lack of
appreciation of the pleasures of smell,
especially among Americans.
Well, for our own part, we are glad
| that Americans are lacking In the
cultivation of this most neglected OF
the senses. We are especially thankful
that the men of our race and country
almost entirely neglect the use of
| perfumes.
The perfumer who is making the
complaint points out the fact that,
while we cultivate the sense of sound,
| touch, taste, to a certain degree, and
the sense of sight, we leave that of
smelling practically uncultivated. Well,
there is this difference-that the man
or woman who INDUCES her apprecia-
| ton of odors by wearing perfumes
necessarily infiicts these Odors on all
who come near her. Even the woman
who wears bright and clashing colors
| does not do this, for we can look
| away-but there is no way of avoiding
perfume. While we breathe we have
TO use our smelling faculties.
Can't you recall how often your
pleasure at the theater and your
powers of concentration at church or
the lecture have been well nigh de-
| strOyed simply because of nearby
perfume? No matter how artistic the
perfume may be, If it is kept in
a close audience or near to you for
long at a time 1t Is sure to become an
nOying not to say really sickening.
AS a matter of fact one reason why
we Americans 60 In so little for per-
fumes is because we are of all nations
the most free from unpleasant odors.
Our cities, our houses, our theaters are
sweet to the nostrils compared to the
cities and public places of Europe. In
Italy, where no one can visit Venice
or Florence without being shocked by
the smells of the city, one finds high
appreciation of perfumes.
In the Orient, where the faculty of
smelling Is developed to fine art, the
impression Of the city odors Is some
thing that the occidental traveller
never forgets. The Characteristic odOrs
of Bombay, of Calcutta, of CONSTANT
nople and Hong Kong, made up of a
marvellous complex of mistakes Of
sanitation, Is something that the trav-
eler cannot describe, but the recollec-
ton Of it Is unpleasantly vivid all
his life.
For our own part we like the Ameri-
can way best. The most desirable
fragrance that we can find in our
cities, in our drawing rooms or thea
tiers, is the fragrance of fresh air, air
so fresh that 1t is sweet to the nOstrls.
And what can compare with the
smells Of the country? The pine tree,
the fresh-mown hay, the hillside after
a storm, the breezes that blow over
5000 miles of ocean, the apple orchard
and the grape arbor? These are the
smells that the Americans appreciate
and love.-Buffalo Express.

Four-year-old John was visiting his
auntie. Now, he had not intended
staying so long and had not brought
an entire change of clothing. So he
was much distressed about not being
clean.
The afternoon before his uncle was
to take him home auntle took him
to the first vaudeville show he had
ever visited. And the comments he
made were loud and amusing TO the
members OF the audience around him.
But nothing exactly startling was said
until young woman in black tights
came on the stage to do some aero
batic stunts. Then his clear little
voice called out so that most of the
people there heard him. "0h, auntie,
