Good ldeas know Do favorites; and no doubt they some- times strike barren spots. Being able to recogmize a good idea is an ascom- plishment which pays because it can bo taken from the one who does'nt know it, and be made profitable. Some men are referred to as men of ideas who are only scholarly; and some men are called cranks who are full of ideas. Ideas are seldom con- servetive—they are usually revolu- tionary. The idea of Self-government is a good idea, but what hasn't it cost in strife and treasu The idea of equal rights is another—it devel- ops slowly, but it is going to prove just and practical. The idea of the Fatherhood of God and the brothe hood of man is a good idea, and while recognized as good, man doubts its practicability and it is held in abey- ance.. 1f man had made the most of good ideas he would have been much better off today. have been put into operation.

May they all be as pleasant and sun- shiny as to-day, Monday, April sixth. Children do not count Saturdays as vacation, for they have them every week, 8o to-day vacation begins for the littlo ones. For a week or more we have read every day of those home from college for the Baster vacation, and it is a pieasiire merely to see men- tion of their names in the paper. What joy the home gets from the returning_ colleglates is almost enough to repay for the long absence from the family circle. Is it the first of the dear ones to enter college or boarding- schoel? How proud we are of the fact! Are thero others who have preceded them in the higher education? What exchanges of experiences are sure to be made! All the delightful times of the older ones are recalled, to be com- | pared with what the younger ones are | quite sure are great lmprovements [ over previous days.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE. Two pre-eminent holy days there are in the circling Christian year, Christ- mas and Easter. If the first with its jollity and gifts is beloved of children 1e second has a peculiar place in the of those who have ceased to be children, who have met both the ma- urer joys and the sorrows of life and whose journey steadily on toward the sunset. no great inspirations for the sensualist, for the evil liver, for the mentally of spiritually inert, it will ever be for the arnest liffe and clear thought man of a Righ festival of light and gladness.

It is a confidence that men have always held. You can- not eradicate it any more than you n the primal instincts of hunger and thirst.

Life and joy are new to the young children, end they display their happiness with a frank- ness that calls forth a smile in re- sponse from the most serious - and careworn heart. With the girls, all the dollies must have especial aftention as the first duty to their little mothers. So the toy go-cart and carriage are brouzht out, and all the doll tribe are given an outing in the sunshine and fresh air. “How glad 1 am that it doesn't rain as it did yesterday,” calied one little one to her equally small nelghbor. “Did it rain yesterday? I forget,” was the reply. “Yes indeed, it rained hard. Mamma would not let me take my best doll out on the piazza for fear she would take cold. I took cold my- self, and it made me cough in the night” A third anxious parent, six years of age now joined the group. How are your children to-day? All out for a ride? Well, my Marletta was a bad girl, so I slapped her good and took her into the house, and filled her carriage with my Teddy bears. Thers are three of them, and they have not had a ride for a long time, Arem't they lovely? I think they are perfect little dears. They love dearly to ride. See! that one is laughing now.” When the children tire of the ear- riages, they will take to roller skates, a “never-failing amusement Dow-a- days. But how the little tots can get about on them is a marvel to lookers- on. It takes these little skaters but a short time, however, to become quite skiliful on them. They learn to do by doing. That is the experience of ail, old as well as young. Two of my small neighbors were learmng to jump efforts to succeed kept me looking at them for many minutes when my conscience told me I should be doing something else. How patiently they threw the rope over their heads, only to have it lie flat on the walk before them. Then they jumped over it, and tried again. They could not trust themselves to jump and turn the rope at the same time. Perseverance will work wonders, nevertheless, so Wwith- out doubt, they will soon find them- selves experts, and I fully expect to fore the season is over. What are the boys doing meantime? Bicycles instead of go-carts take their attention. Balls, tops, and marbles have their chance. Has the boy a liking for tools? Now is his time to use them and build the bird which will have a happy tenant before ions. Fortunate is the boy who knows how to make his hands useful haps he helps to rake the lawn, of prepares a garden for himself to be cultivated later. Possibly he 1s inter- ested in experiments of the sort that lead him to telephone or wirele: communication _with his _neighbor ross the fields. Seldom does a day | pass that these boys do not run races around the_block Tho children are not the only ones to have an Easter vacation. It favors the teachers as well. Many of these take the time for a much needed rest after tho winter's work, and the larg- er cities afford the . attraction of change and reereation desired by oth- ers. So they scatter hither and yon to whatever most beguiles them. Then there are the house and home helpers, who think the spring cleaning must all be accomplished in this one week, or all the spring wardrobe provided. If they will allow an observer press an opinion, they remind me of & certain old parable, for at the begi ning of the coming term of scho. hey will find_ themselves with empty amps, and their supply of oil ex- hausted Physical strength and nerve will fail them as the closing of the school year makes extra demands upon them, and even the mother, whom they desired to befriend, will be better pleased in the end, if ‘the daughter keeps herseif in good trim for her school work. From many years' observation the Idler fecls qualified to advise, but she does not expect to find many in- clined to follow her advice impilcitly. Years ago Austin Dobson made twelve g0od rules for winter, all beginning with “never.” The iast one is applica- ble to most of us who advieo others. “Never ask If the writer of these rules has obeyed them himsel: o call this the Easter vacation.

May they all return to their work refreshed in body, mind ana spirit for the demands made upon them for the coming term of school, for the coming months of toil, for the coming months of Joy. That last word reminds me of the many brides of the near future. Whispers already reach us of those who will celebrate the Month of April with a new home, new tles, new dutles. Best wishes to all. All thine own best wishes, wish I thee. And for those who are spending their vacation to their liking, may their number never grow less. AN TDLER. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Democratic Eggs and Milk. 1 Mr. Editor: Now that the Underwood | bill s fairly at work, it may be weli to | take up one item that is of direct in- terest to nearly every reader of The Bulletin; in fact, every American. 1 Tefer to eggs. Under the democratic | tarift law eggs come in free, and the market on the Pacific coast, and even | |as far east as Chicago and St. Louis, | has been fairly flooded with tons of | esss from China.. More eges are produced in the beri- { beri, scrofula and leprous districts of China than anywhere else on earth. There is no pure food law in China that egg producers are bound to re- | spect. , There is no pure food law here that Lhinese egg producers can be | forced to respect. The whole trouble is that the cleanly kept and fed Amer- ican hen has been forced into compe- tition with the half starved, garbage and filth-eating hen of China, and in the long run the only successful way | | of competing with the disease-breeders | of the Orient will be to cheapen the cost of production here by less care and cheaper feeding.

Brandegee and a | republican member of consres Had you and your thousands of | readers been on Boston Common Mon- day morning, you would have seen thousands of people of all ages, sizes, colors and natlons, eagerly awaiting the large autotruck coming in from | the town of North Reading loaded | down with 1,500 to 2,000 quarts of pure | milk that was given away free to ail | comers, as the farmers producing it' cannot’ afford to make and sell milk | | at the lost cost paid by Boston dealers to the cheaper produced milk in Can- ada. | The democratic tariff has let down | the bars, let in the Canadian milk, | and. there i3 no law that I know any- thing about that will allow Boston peopl: to inspect the Canadian dairies. The milk may be produced all right, but who can say? Now while the | Boston dealers are flooding their city | with cheaper milk, have they reduced | | the price to the Consumer?

EVERY DAY REFLECTONS Forward Not Backward. It is not pleasant to know that the younger generation is outstripping us, jeaving us nd, calling us old fash- ioned and obsolefe. The mere names need not frighten us, but there may be truth in the names and In that case they will sting. We may really be- come the things that others call us. We may be actualiyg unprogressive, not seeing that our ver¥ attachment to the old order shouid render us sus- coptibie to its natural evolution and newer manisfestation. If the old was true, this/new thing may be its nor- mal growth, its inevitable sequence. Logicelly it’ often happens that we cannot deny the new without at the same time denying the old; we do not see its inward and imperishable sprit. If a man of 45 stands exactly where he aid when he was 20 he will find himself being left behind. At 20 he welcomed the new and was himself a part of it; he was receptive, impress- ionable, with his face toward tho Ulster an Example.
