A. Scientific Prediction.

The story is often told OF the great
naturalist, Culver, that, given sim
gle bone he could reconstruct the an
imal to which it belonged. That .
somewhat similar law of organization
runs through the various species that
form families In the animal kingdom
Is indicated by curious case Of scten-
tific prediction, to which attention
was called ut recent meeting Of the
Biological society In, this country.

We were called; we could do no
other than obey. The boys had TO
feed the stock; not being such a big
job all in all, not being so many Of
them, but Erwin stoutly declared that
it was such shame to waste so much
energy, as boy had to go through
the same motions for one horse as
for several. "Ole Joe" had to have
his chow early, though, as he was
no chances with upsetting his diges-
ton, particularly as he was to take
Pa and Ma and the baby to church.
Ma prepared our very simple
breakfast. while Pa took his early
survey Of his beloved garden, which
now reminds me Of Leslie's interpre-
tation OF his catechism. He was tell
ing, in his own way, about the evac-
uation Of the Garden Of Eden. He
| said: when the Lord put on his
| coat with the big pocket and walked
out in the cool Of the day to see
what the cut worms had done to his
beans during the night, he beheld
| ADAM" etc. 1t was very clearly his
| idea that the Lord managed his gar
den just as his beloved father did,
even to the garden coat with the
ample seed pocket.
| The getting ready for Sunday
school and church was always quite
an event; so much washing and put
ting on Sunday clothes; and even

mother would get hold Of us with the

was overlooked in the matter Of
scrubbing, with particular attention
| to all the ramifications of ears, ]

After due time, and much scnrry-
| ing on her part we were ready to be
| off. The older sisters and brother
had gone ahaed; they were not un-
| avoidably detained as we younger
! ones were; they, too, had certain du-
| ties to attend to before tho'r parents
| arrived, viz, the fair exchange Of
| chatter with other young people Of
their age The speed Of the next re-
lay was not so eager to reach desti-
nation, as there was always 80 much
to attend to on the way. We had to
go by the rotten log to see the part
ridge had hatched her brood; lit
tie way further, amongst the trees,
ground squirrel was laying in his
winters supply Of food, and we had
to note progress and lay a rather
generous supply OF COOLERS and corn

ed return this way to see II he

FACE POWDER AND TOBACCO.
They Rank Higher in Expenditures
Than Education.
(From School Life.)

(From School Life.)
Despite the low salaries of teach
ers and the meager and inadequate
! equipment Of schools, many people
| believe the support Of the public
schools--elementary, secondary and
higher-to be our chief burden. This
opinion seems to be very common
about State Legislatures and other
tax-leyying bodies. People otherwise
we'll informed sometimes fall into
this error.
what are the facts? How do ex-
penditures for schools compare with
, other expenditures, public and pri-
vate? The truth is, public educa-
ton is not a burden. Its cost Is al
most negligible when compared with
other expenditures.
THE total amount spent for pub
lie education in 1918, including cur
rent expenditures for private and
endowed colleges and universities,
and all expenditures for capital in
vestment in buildings and equipment
was less than one billion dollars.
