He had sat pointing it for a moment or two, and then slowly taken it down and rested it across his knees. After this he had sat there for a long time, watching Mr. Grouse. After awhile there had whirr of another pair of stout wings and Mrs. Grouse had joined Mr. Grouse. Together they had moved over beneath a big beech tree and begun to pick up beechnuts Not for an instant did they fail to be watch- ful. They knew that the terrible hunting season was on. They didn't miss the rustle of a leaf. If a leaf fluttered down from a tree their heads were up instantly, and they listened and watched to make sure that that rustle was not a warning of danger. Yet all the time a hunter with a ter- rible gun was watching them. He could have killed them at any time, but he didn't even lift his terrible gun again. Do you wonder that Jumper thought this the strangest thing he had ever seen? Mr. and Mrs. Grouse continued to plck up beechnuts until they could eat no more. Then they went over to 2 little sandy place and took a dust bath, just as you have sometimes seen hens do. It clear that they had no susplicion whatever that any one whe could harm them was near.

A profiteer who had done the us- ual thing—bought a country estate and a town house—felt that there was still something needed to complete his money's worth. Other people had ancestry; he must get some. On the advice of a friend, he en- gaged a man to undertake the neces- sary research. In due time the investigator came to report, and laid a sealed package on the table. Without opening the package, the profiteer asked him how much his fee was. “I want $1,000," the man replied, “to say nothing.” Of course, he got it The genus of willows is a large one, with more than 170 recorded species in the world, thirty-one in North America, but comparatively few of them grow to the size of trees—only four In this part of the country, the white willow, black willow, crack willow and weeping willow and, of course, several icties of these.

There are many {1ittle illnesses and allments that af- fect the looks, that must be cured by a physician, or overcome by diet and exercise.

The boy is born into the world with the well established notion that he is to do a man's work. and that he is expected to prepare himself for the doing of it as promptly as possible. The girl has no such notion. The ghostly tradition of the idle woman has not been laid even by the new woman idea and the suffrage. A woman is not to work, really. She's to be in the home. e Washing .nd ironing, and baking, sp\\'iamz gnd nursing, bearing and rearing children, managing a house and all its entalls, do not, in the minds of the people, constitute a job that requires any training. Girls are to “pick it up” as their mothers did. And that’s a great injustice to the girls. No system of education should be permitted to feel that it has done its duty by the girls until every girl that comes under its influence has been trained in homemaking and everything that goes with it. The girl is entitled to know what is be- fore her and have a chance to pre- or it. paArlot:r that she still needs all the education life the schools can give her. Nothing she asks for should be withheld. Then she should pick out the one job she likes and go into it with all that is in her, whether build- ing or sewing, making hats or selling motors. ‘Why train her in such a way if she is going to be married and rear a family? Why put all that energy into one line when she is destined to live all her life in the circumscribed home? There's plenty of use. A woman needs to bring to her job of home- making the broadest possible knowl- edge of the world and its doings. She needs to bring to her task of mothering the finest kind of intelli- gence that the life she bestows may be the richest gift possible.

I mark thy rigid form against the cloud, High o'er the earth, thou bird of regal flight, And sink, an envious clod, upon the earth. Thy even course, so lofty and so proud, Bathed by a sea of undiluted light— So was my noble dream, that had its birth When from young manhood I looked out on life I see thee on the ground, at thy repast; Upon thy beak the putrid entrails gleam I note the greed, the glut, the eager strife— A voice beside my ear doth grate, “At last Behold the realization of thy dream!” When soaring high thy form I see, Forgot these orgies foul—they could not be. And when that early vision meets my eye, The dream is real, reality a lie. BY EDNA KENT FORBES ably with the liver or kidneys, though it may only be a temporary digestive upset. But skin bleaches are of no use; the internal cause must be cured. Excessive perspira- tion is a_thing that troubles many women. Sometimes it is due to skin trouble, but often to extreme nerv- ousness. Hands that grow clammy nd perspire freely are due to nerves, and generally show that the health, and the nervous resistence, are broken down. It is an odd thing that emotlons affect the sweat glands.
