No parents are more indulgent to their children than the American ts as has been shown by a fe- cent bulletin of the government bureau of statistics, which values the toy: imported and manufactured here at 0,000,000 annually. In the last decade, it appears, the importations of toys into the United States have aggregated in value no less than fifty million dollars; and, notwithstanding this large supply, the /| American toy manufacturers increased their investments of capital from less than a million dollars in 1880 to four and three-quarters millions in 1905 and the value of their output in the/ same time from one and a half to five and a half millions. This would indi- cate that the toys supplied to the peo- ple of the United States during the last ten years must have had an ag- gregate value of about a hundred mil- lion dollars, and that, too, in the valu- ations given by the importers and home manufacturers, not the prices at which the toys were sold to the consumers, There was never an age when the children were given such expensive playthings or so many of them. Where ten dollars met every demand fifty years ago it takes $100 now, and the greater usefulness of the toys makes it worth all it costs the parents. HALF DOLLAR BUTTER. Just how long the wealthy spécu- lators of this country are going to be permitted to corner the necessities of life and make criminal extortions of profits from the people depends wholiy upon the mettle of the consumers. An Omaha combination now have 50,000 pounds in cold storage and are daily piling it up there says that the price of butter will advance 25 per cent. in the near future and that by Christmas 50 cent butter will be the thing. This with 60 cent eggs before Thanksgiving and all other food products top- notching, does not make a cheerful outlook for the great army of small wage earners who constitute the people. These combinations for cornering food stuffs are not just, and are simply a violation of the principles of free- dom ‘because in effect it is the meas liest kind of robbery. This govern- ment will protect the people when the people compel it to. TAKING OFF THE PROFITS. If a bee stings you hunt up its owner and demand damages. You can collect, providing you can identify the insect. That is the law as laid down I!’ l is people pros) win their way. 'y afraid to be obliging for fear they will be egarded as subservient. They con- stantly cultivate agreeable manners, they are ever ready to do little things please. The atmosphere they cre- ate about them does not give rise to antagonisms, they are too wily to be making trouble for the es. ne world is a different world to them from what it is to those who disregard the little mannerisms which cost noth- ing, but which are really a treasure and smooth life's ways. When I see people cultivas every kind of dis- gruntlement and not making life par- ticularly agreeable for themselves, 1 wonder if they realize that they exciting people to make things un- pleasant ior them. Our, world I8 what we make it, and some of us make a sorry mess of it. Venus is only 50,000,000 miles dis- tant from us now, and by its bril- liancy is attracting attention to the west. We know some things about Venus that the ancients did not know. We know it is not a wanderer in space but has the same journey to make every year and that sometimes it is within 33,000,000 miles of the sun and 60,000,000 from us and vice versa; and as a sister planet we know that it has a year of 224 days and 17 hours, and that its day js 37 minutes shorter than ours, and although the ancients thought she had a moon we know her as a moonless planet; and we think there is life there just as there is here, not becanse we know it, but because we can find no reason why there should not be. Proctor did not hesi- tate to say that “the evidence we have points very strongly to Venus as the abode of 1lving creatures not unlike the inhabitants of earth.” Since God has veopled this earth there is eve son to believe he has peopled I er worlds. His whole glory does not depend upon a speck like this. The black blister beetle is getting to be the worst kind of a pest in the flower garden. Time was when this tribe of which there are several vari- eties in New England devoted them- selves to the potato vines, and these black ones were sold to the apothe- caries as Spanish flies, by whom they are sold for raising blisters. It is soms years now since they took to Chia asters, and If not collected destroy these pretty flowers. Now I notice that they are taking to the dahlias where they quickly destroy the blok soms. They have been hand-picked and thrown Into a dish of water in the past, and that is a way to get rid of them now if a person is not prepared to spray thé flowers with modern in- secticides. 1 have seen them in the garden for a number of years, but by Justice Atwood of Watertown, who | g awarded Charles Flelds $16.55 and | fornd” (o misati The e har tre costs because a bee belonging to Frank Gilmore punctyred him.

This de- cision opens honied fields for the law- yers, but who is responsible when the bee is a hornet?—Bristol Fress. This s rather hard upon the bee- keepers, for one incident like this takes all the profit out of bee-keeping. If the natural conduct of the obstrep- erous bee makes o man liable for damages cqual to the price of tr=es or four chlonies, there is no money in the ' business. THere domestic bees have been stinging people for ages and for the first time in history the owner is made responsible for dam- ages done by them.

It Is as common as golden rod in the field it is abundant. Sometimes I think that it should be proscribed by law, but then I think of the wild carrot and the Canada_ thistle and other noxious plants which have had no legal right to go to seed on any man’s acres for a quar- ter of a century, but as the law can not swing the ‘scythe and man will not, they flourish and spread with per- fect freedom.

These weeds do not wotry the man whose system they cannot invade; and those who suffer from them cannot afford to fool with them. They are a nuisance from any standpoint, and, like the brook, promise to run on forever.

THE PASSING OF PLAY TIME. Oh, the bright and joyful summer, Oh, the short and transient summer, Who that has enjoyed a summer in the opén, or a part of the simmer away from routine duties and in the midst of delightful holiday opportuni- ties is quite ready for the call of Sep- tember? To begin again is so much harder than it was to leave off some time ago. But, my dear wage-earner, school teacher, student, home-maker, what is playtime but an interlude between seéasons of labor? 1If it were anything else it would lose its charm and value. As T go about the world I am struck with the imcreasing number of persons in American life who belong, the year through, to the leisure class. They have inherited money or have made their pile and retired. But I do not find myself envying thém. The happiest people—at least the happiest young and middle-aged people—are thote who have their definite and strenuous tasks to do, and whose play- time comes as a just compensation for some genuine mproductive labor. In their heart of hearts some of these well fed, richly fixed leisurely people may be coveting your chance for the next ten or twelve months to do some- thing worth while In God's great work- ing world. ass, but its mem- ories need not. Those jolly hours on top of the coach, of sitting on the bleachers, those hours of pleasant comradéship on the plagza or around the camp fire, those quiet, solitary hours when you floated in the canoe or rested on the greensward, they have made their permanent contribution of hope and cheer to your life. They are going to come back to you often. As Wadsworth put it, they are going to “flash upon the Inward eye” again and again when vou are iIn the thick of tasks and problems. Besides the impressions that have been coming to vou during play time, you have been making impressions ou others. Just what they were, it may not be 0d taste In an outsider to inquire too minutely. But while you have been off duty, in undress uniform, while you have sat at hotel tables, traveled on trains and trolleys, entered gestfully Ito sports and games, others have been taking note of you,—your manners, your morale. In some little place, perhaps 500 mifles from where you will live this winter, there is a very definite impression today of your character. Fortunate are you if the impression so indelibly made has been that of a royal gentl , 4 true lady, a real Christian, Henry Van Dyke In his essay, “Leaving Off.” has a helpful word to say on this general subject of moving on from one period to another. Take the comfort of it with you, now that play time is over: “The fairest things in this. world and the finest are always in transi- tion. Why should we hold back?

But in this change there is a moral exhilaration. There is need to recite the story. All the world knows the motives which prometed the voy- aige of the Mayflower. All the world knows in what spirit Bradford and his asoctates left their ancient home and n what spirit and to what ends they sought lodgment in a rook-bound and ice-bound wilderness.
