weight of huge sack of flour on dis

at the store the next day he found his
estimate and the actual weight of the
sack of flour were identical. The flour
was his-or rather his wife's, and it will
be a good sized cake she can have.

1
Phyllis is child of four. She lives
with her parents and baby sister in
two rooms of a house converted intC
small apartments. She gets out Of the
house only two or three times a week
as her mother has no baby carriage, ano
therefore can't take her and the baby
walking Phyllis can't go out OF doors
alone, for her mother DOESN'T think il
would be very safe; and besides, what
Is there for her to dc? she has l2 cut
door playthings, and thee are no othc:
children of her own age near by.
Peter is little fellow abcu. the same
age as Phyllis He lives il very selec;
part of town, in house that is i'm
posing, to say the least. It has wide
lawns and a winding driveway that is
the delight of Peters heart when he
rides up and down it on his tricycle.
Much as he enjoys its curves and
slopes, however, he is pretty apt, if his
nurse turns her back for a moment,
to scuttle as fast as he can pedal in the
direction of the corner, where there
Is post-box and hydrant and good
many passers-by. No matter how hard
the nurse Scolds, he tries the same
tactics over and over again. For he
has no one to play with!
In an unpretentious part of town,
near the open fields where the country
begins, lives Billy. His home is incon-
spicuous, but Billy thinks it is a pretty
satisfactory place. He has big sand
box under a tree, where four or five
youngsters often congregate for an
hour at a time; there is swing, too,
and in summer he and his small play
mates spend hours under the spray from
the hose, which falls back into an old
mason's mixing-box, which his father,
who is cement worker, has rugged up
for their enjoyment.
Only few miles away lives Harriet.
Her home is on farm, and her earliest
memories are of the eerie sounds that
sweep through the windbreak trees to
the north of the house; and the rustic
like rain from the leaves of the poplarS,
never still all summer long. Harriet
lioo ilSfCi lldO dllogilC1 tll4io 1OI play
mate, but there are always puppies and
kittens tumbling about underfoot, and
there has been one old hen that fol-
lowed her about, much to the family'S
amusement. Despite the fact that the
beauties of nature are so lavishly spread
out all around her. Harriet does not
live in beautiful surroundings, for the
crueltieS of nature are in evidence, too.
Her father has always been too busy
trying to wreSt a living out of the
soil to have much energy left for max
ing things beautiful, or even tidy, about
the place. So Harriet, with all the
green of the fields in the distance,
plays on the hard-beaten dirt of the
dooryard, which looks out on the barn
and the cattle yards rather than to-
ward the river. She accepts the squalid
sight of pigs wallowing without being
aware of there being other possibilities
in the landscape. Harriet has "all out
doors to play in" as her family says,
but she sticks pretty close to the house
with her clothes-pin dolls, and corn
cob houses.
What contrasting influences are at
work in the lives of these four children,

BelUdre of SO-CdLLed
Civil Service Schools.

The United States Civil Service Com
mission issued the following statement:
The public should not be misled by
promises Of Government positions by
so-called civil service schools" their
agents or their advertisements No
school is able to fulfill any such prom
ises. The public is also warned against
schools or agents that would lead one to
believe that they represent the Gov
eminent or are connected with the Gov
eminent in any way, or that give assur-
ance of success in passing civil-Service
examinations on the completion of their
courses.
EYtravagant claims of this type are
bringing some such schools under Gov
eminent investigation. Recently the
Post Office Department issued fraud
orders against a number of these schools
denying them further use of the mails
after evidence had been submitted that
they had used the mails to defraud In
one of these cases prosecuted by the
Government, the promoters of the
school were later tried in criminal court
and given Jail sentences. The Federal
Trade Commission also investigates
complaints.
The aim of the Government is to pro-
tect the public against misrepresenta-
ton by any of these schools. It is of
course impossible for the Government
to secure or aid in securing the refund
of money paid into the schools. Gov
eminent by making inquiry in every
case concerning such claims by civil
service schools or agents before en-
rolling for courses.
Caution is particularly made against
claims by schools that their courses are
required in order to take the examin-
ations of the U. S. Civil Service Com
that they are given advance
information regarding civil-service ex-
aminationS; that they have influence
with the Federal Government to pro-
cure employment for applicants; that
they can secure special advantages for
those taking their courses; that they
have been authorized by the Federal
Government to give examinations. Such
claims are false.
Anyone can obtain civil-Service in
formation free from the Secretary of
the U. S. Civil Service Board at any
the office of the u S. Civil Service
first-or second-class post office or from
Commission at Washington, D. C.
Upon request, the Commission will
place a persons name upon a mailing
list to send him notice, without cost, of
the next examination held for any
particular position in which he is in
terested. The commission will furnish
upon request sample announcements of
any examination.

Liked Funeral Architecture

Europeans in Egypt have always
been impressed by the strong in
clination of the old Egyptians for
funereal architecture and emblems
OF mortality, as we'll as their per-
verse taste for the bizarre in the
ology. Lions with the heads of
crocodiles and men with the heads
OF hawks, standing in solemn rows
in Swallowed aisles of great tenn
pies, or crawling in low relief over
rock tombs, embody a good deal
OF sheer horror in concrete form.
Some have succumbed to the at

obelsance before the statues of the
ancient gods

'38 ROAD FUNDS
PAY Old BONDS
Payments Total More Than
100000 for Interest and
Principal This Year.

More than 100000 of Minnesota
1888 highway revenues have already
gene to pay for improvements long
since completed on the states trunk
highway system.
The State Board of Allotment, meet
ing last week at Rochester, where State
Auditor Stafford King was recovering
from an operation, was faced with the
necessity Of voting S4037,17l.71 to pay
for interest and principal on bonds
issued and spent in the past. OF this
total, the Allotment Board, consisting
of State Highway Commissioner NJ w
Elsberg, Mr.. King and State Treasurer
c. A. Halvorson voted to place $2,267 900
in the trunk highway sinking fund to
meet principal and interest on the state
bonds.
At the same time, $1,770,l71.71 was
placed by the board in the county
highway bond reimbursement fund for
payment of principal and interest on
bonds issued by the various counties for
road improvements prior to the time
these roads were taken over and OPP
Grated by the state highway system.
This bond load is removed from the
shoulders of the counties and assumed
by the state.
These funds all must come out Of
revenues the Minnesota Highway de-
partment receives from two-thirds Of
the gas tax and from the auto license
fees net.
Such a prodigious sum paved an
nually cuts deeply into the funds re-
manning in the highway departments
cash drawer for road construction
maintenance, administration, safety and
the like" Commissioner Elsberg said.
And when payment time comes
around, the department is forced to
look with more and more favor on its
present policy of pay as you CO."
At the boards meeting, it was also
voted that the remainder of the moneys
in the trunk highway fund, and
moneys in the trunk highway fund,
and moneys accruing to that fund dur
ing the current calendar year, shall be
available 70 reconstruction and mainten-
ance purposes in 1888 and for equalling
the total sum of regular federal aid
which may be received for road pur-
poses.
Final alotmentS of roads and bridge
funds will be made at a continued
meeting, which will follow closely MIR.

CURIOSITY is DESIRABLE,

| Jerry has the same Unsuitable curios-
" that resulted, according TO Kipling
n the Elephants Child having his
,runk pulled out to such a length. Jerry
S not quite two, So he hasn't been
walking long, and it is Sill a matter OF
profound delight to him that he can
| navigate under his own steam. What
wealth of things there are around him
| that he wants to find out about-things
that he has had to sit by and look at
from afar, before. That dangling chain
for instance, that miraculouSly floods
the room with light when it is pulled!
That wavy plume on the rear end of
the cat, that bends and sways so tempt
ingly, as if just made to be a handle
| to pull! And what about that magic
box out of which come so many de-
!iciouS things? Mother is always lift
ing the latch and taking out milk, or
eggS-why can't Jerry see what treasure
trove he might be able to spirit out of
its apparently ineXhauStible depths?
So irrepressible is Jerry's desire that he
is characterized by the adults around
him as that little mischief" although
if Jerry could explain to them he would
tell them that it was far from his
thoughts to make anybody any trouble
he only wanted to find out
How seldom we stop to look upon the
behavior of the Jerrys and the Marys
and the Henrys in its true light and
thank our stars that our children have
enough intelligence to want to find out |!
At first, of course, those efforts to
explore and to learn are often discon-
certing, as, indeed, they will be through
out the child'S life. But this feeling
will be somewhat eaSed if we stop to
think that at first, the only way our
children can begin 60 learn is through
their senses. They must use their eyes
and ears and fingers great DEAL be-
cause they can't yet ask questions, or
find out in book an answer to what
they want to know. They must have
opportunities to use their senses, to de-
Velop discrimination between light and
heavy, loud and soft, sticky and smooth.
If we realize this, We'll provide them
with ways of learning, and oftentimes
manage to head them off from some
of the disastrous consequences that be-
fall when they try to explore on their
own.
If Jerry is supplied with enough
things to try out and manipulate, he
won't have so much energy going into
the turning on of electric lights and the
opening of refrigerator doors. Even the
toy manufacturers have belatedly come
to our aid recently, with many different
kinds of things to help satisfy the long
ing to take apart and put together, to
open and shut, fill and empty. Now we
can get, for example, colored disks that
fit over a stake, and big, gaily colored
pegs easy for baby fingers to fit into
peg boards. If, instead of thwarting
Jerry when he makes persistent at
tempts to climb and balance precarious-
ly on the dining room table, we provide
him with comparatively safe place to
climb, We can not only prevent his
marring the furniture but our marring
his spirit of initiative and independence
with our constant worry and exclama-
tionS.

personalities, characteristics brought
out by these widely varying surround
