WAKING UP YOUNG R “Phere is no part of the coun which farmers' boys amd girls ing trained as they be In the In Georgia, for example, Prof. J. P. Campbell, stite organizer of boys’ and girls' farm life clubs, reports for boys in 90 counties, with & membership of 4,000, and clubs for girls in 12 counties, with a member ot 1,000. The activity of tmwban'flnil is directed chiefly to corn raising, while the girls busy themselves with poultrs, the canning of fruits and vegetables, and domestic work. The corn clubs have shown, says the At- lanta Georgian, that the soll in cer~ tain sections of that state is capable of producing more than 100 bushels to the acre and that the average for the. state of 12 bushels can be readily rais- ed to 30 or 60 bushels. The girls' clubs are ing to. enrich and make more profitable the home life of the farms. In South Carolina the same beneficial | interest js being aroused amons the boys and girls, and the movement is | spreading widely and helptully through | the south., Anything which tends to lift_country life to new standards of | eMciency and happiness is the devel- i opment most necded, A WONDERFUL FEAT. .

There is no evidence on earth that ever works out of such unions, although the victims sometimes ven- fture to assert that there is satisfac- “tion in them. Others labor under tho suspicion _that such ' unions make 2 times for #hose concerned. Such mep are what the spinsters of olden times used to call “poor sticks!” They ‘are $0 crooked In the grain that they would not meke decent skewers, But there are always men who need re forming and men who find delight in bia the innocent; and if there ‘were no women to tackle this problem the Lord only knows what would be- come of them. It takes liberal minded worhen to make the venture, and if they give the men a piece of their minds often enough they may become somewhat improved just to keep peace in the family. -How a man looks at. things depends more upon the state of his stomach than most of us are willing to admit. The human stomach is such a -dear thing to the Australians that they al- ways recognize it when spoken of as “Little Mary;” and taking care of “Little Mary” means giving attention to the aracter and quality of the dici.

New Jersey has dene awiyv with the omtract sgstem in hér prisons and in future prisomers are to be cmployed in manafactusing necessary supplies fo state instMutions. Under the new measure the families of convicts are also te recéive 50 cents per day for each day of convict laber. Thix new law does away with the evasions of the 0ld law. It keeps convict-made goods out of the market, and while it substitutes these goeds for goods heretofore supplicd to the public in- stitutions by free laber, it is the best possible arrangement that could be made to setdle u long-mooted ques tiom. It also mukes for economy i institutional supplies The punishment of wives and chil- dren of convicted men which the par- ole law has lessened in IMinois, alse has commended to Chicago orguniza tions & propesal to improve the es- plemage upon paroled prisomers.

We all enjoy a little attention of that sort, coming as it often does, from our 'little friends, or occasionally from their elders who delight in remember- ing others in pleasant ways. These favors need not be cosily or elaborate to be pleasing. One vear I was shut in at this time, and recall with much pleasure the May basket sent me by the nearest kindergarten, and I re- member how delighted a neighbor of mine was at receiving litile May bask- ets from the children with whom she was @ great favorite. The baskets were daintily trimmed and contained wild flowers, covering a_few candies and fancy erackers, the whole arrange- ment evidently being the work of the children’s own fingers, but all the more prized for that fact. ~Now the shops are displaying them, and the preity custom seems to be ground.

One day one of these patrons, who had not forgotten her own early life in the country, mnoticed the bunch of wild flowers Ethel had in her hand. Mrs. Stanhope exclaimed over their beauty and fragrance, saying that she used to | gather such when she was a. little girl like Ethel, and they reminded her of her childhood home. “You shall have some the nmext time I come,” said Ethel, “but these I want | for a little sick girl ho likes flow- | ers “Try to bring me some, soon” was the reply, “and I'll use them for my | May basiet x The remark set Fthel to thinking.

Mr, Editor: 1 read with some in- terest about Mr. Kelley calling off the carpenters on the job on Sachem street because plumbers were working. It seems to me if the so-called union men and their leaders would take some interest in local matters, when union men e in from Providence and work nine hours a day, and local men striking for 44 hours a week, it would be a little more consistent with union- ism; and if the walking delegate would look up the members of the Carpen- ters’ union who struck for a half-holi- day that are jobbing on Saturday aft- ernoons to the detriment of the con- tractors, it would be something to the purpose. Consistency is a jewel, and when we read in the papers apout a milkman and he will peck at the edges, and it} flag_on high and the American flag trailing in the dust, it is about time to pause and consider what we are com- ing to.
