Those who learn while they are chil- dren not to think of what they do not like, have acquired a good habit, and a good habit, formed in childhood, is often the foundation of the fortune ~got later in life, ® Tt is in childhood and youth most of our habits are formed, and If boys realized how a little habit makes a slave not only of the boy, but the man, they would take care mot to be caught napping as many boys have been and will be in life. The habit of complaining or fault- finding breeds misery. The boy or girl who does not like this thing, that thing. or the other, and harbor their dis'ikes fn their mind grow to be dis- obedient children and disagreeable old “folks. IL is a true saving: “We first make ~our habits and then our habitd make u A good habit will make you thoughtful and useful, while a bad habif will make you thoughtless and useless. How do you make your habit?

If vou cultivate the habits of being cheerful and obedient how much dif- ferent everything will be for you all your life! If we are not obedient to the truth and to duty we shall not thrive, for we shall not be obedient to others ‘when we should be. We should be quick to do a kind act and slow to do a mean one, then the habit of meanness will not mar our good name. How you fare in life is 2 matter of vour own choosing. The right side and the wrong side confronts us all. and it is the part of wisdom to be upon the right side as often as pos- sible: hence, we must all be careful to discover the right from the wrong. This is not an easy task, but if we always honor our own convictions, to what is right and wrong we shall soon be sharp to discover one from the other. Not doing right according to our own view of right is to have a weak hold upon all that is good and true, E AWAKE CIRCLE BOYS' AND GIRLS' DEPARTMENT LETTERS OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

We passed through upper Sackville street and saw the Gresham hotel. Close by we saw the - monument which is erected fo the memory of Charles Stuart Parnell. We saw the Rotunda hospital and we noticed they had two auto ambulances and chauf- feurs standing in front, ready at a moment’s notice. When we arrived at Rutland square we were shown the Presbyterian church. A little further on we saw the Mater hospital. This looked like a fine in- stitution. On our right we saw Mount- joy prison. Our driver happened to be quite a historian and told us how within the walls of Mountjoy prison were imprisoned at different periods in the last two centuries nearly all the great.Irish statesmen, including the late Michael Davitt, who was cruelly treated for political treason and love of country. We were shown the Roman Cath- olic church edifice.. In a short time we arrived at the Botanical Gardens. As we wanted to see the gardens we walked. We were admitted by police officers at that time, We went through revolving gates and they asked a few questions. When told we were from America they were very nice to us and ex- plained all about the gardens and the best walks to take to see the different flowers. As we passed through the gardens we noticed police officers in ceived my prize I thank y?‘u very much for it. I have read some THE WINNERS OF PRIZE BOOKS. 1—David Carlyle, of Norwich—The 2—Mason H.

This is a large circle and there are buried great Irish statesmen and men of note. Looking at the names we read John Philpot, Curran, Hogan, Tom Steel, William and Smith O'Brien. Barry Sullivan, the actor, is also buried there not far from the circle. A beautiful monu- ment is erected over each one. In the center of the circle is a round tower 170 feet high erected over the tomb of Daniel O'Connell, the Irish liberator. To reach the tomb one can walk down granite steps. A little to the south is the grave of Charles Stuart Parnell, covered with beautiful flow-- ers, and a large Attic cross. In this cemetery hacks or teams are not al- lowed on the avenues. There is a wide road in front leading to each exit; there is a church at the main entrance. After services the casket is placed on a three wheeled rubber tired casket carriage, and is wheeled to the burial lot by the cemetery employes. We noticed a large force of men were em- ployed and the walks and lots were kept in the best of order, We were well paid for our visit, RICHARD W. TOBIN,.JR. At Grandma’s About all of my Saturdays last va- cation were spent at grandma’s house. It is a good-sized white house and is situated just beyond the watering trough on East Main street. ‘The ‘Westerly trolley passes by it. Behind the house is a woods and quite a little pastur¢ land. TFrom the top of this ‘wooded slope a view of the whole town of Norwich may be seen, but it is a steep and slippery walk, and I have not climbed to the top more than twice. There is a large rock, rounded”off. by the storms, but as I am not sure of its name I will say nothing more save that it is one of the highest places nearby. Behind the house is a red barn, but it is used as a work shop by grandpa. A large grape vine grows over the entire back and sides of the house. Many grapes are gathered each Sep- tember, and are made into. grape juice, jam or jelly; last year 15 pans full were picked. Grandma also owns and rents a large farm of 40 or 50 acres. One day when I went to see grand- pa and grandma I took a newly made cart with me. Grandpa went down into the cellar, mixed me some red and drab paint, and soon I was whist- ling to the motion f my brush. The cart had received its first coat. For several Saturdays I had tried to get over to see grandma, and also to paint a fence, but stormy weather insisted that I should remain in the house. So the fence remained without paint for weeks, so that I might have the honor of christening it. But finally as time went by, grandpa did it himself. Grandma did not have many child- ren at her home, so, of course, boys’ playthings were scarce. But best of all the things at grandma's was my Panama Canal. I will therefore de- vote the rest of this story to a de- scription of this minjature canal One day when coming home from shopping grandma had under ber arms three or four curious shaped bundles. On getting rid of her bundles she pro- ceeded to fill two foot tubs full of water that had been colored with blue- ing. Then from out of the package she drew two handsome boats, one pink and one blue. The two tubs were placed on a stand out of doors with a boat in each. “One is the Pacific and one the At- lantic ocean,” she said. Going to the kitchen cabinet she drew forth a large “pan of ma's” and placed it between the two oceans. This Is how the canal got its name. Next day Grandpa selected some smooth wood and fell to work making small boats for the canal.

Squirrels, snakes, rats, cats and some big birds like to eat the eggs and young birds. Most birds find good hiding places where no harmful creature can get at them. Tiny warblers make their nests on the tops of the tallest trees, and hide them among the leaves. After a safe place is found, they have to get something to_build their nests of. They gather small twigs, grass, strings and horse hairs and weave these together. Robins and swallows make theirs of mud. As they go on building, the mother bird gets inside and turns around and around to make it fit her form. When & nest is made it' must be lined, so they go to the hen yard and get feathers and other soft things for the lining. Some birds make their nest in deep turrows or holes in the ground. There are as many different ways as there are kinds of birds to make them. MOLLIE FPALEY, Age 12. Colchester.

Bozrahville, sight nearly all the time to see that nobody took souvenirs from the gar- dens or destroyed anything. As we passed from one bed to another we saw flowers from every part of -the world. Each flower had an iron marker telling from what country it came. All the trees were labeled dnd represented almost every country on earth. The native gardens were bautiful Irish ferns, moss, roses and other plants I did not know my name. I saw a beau- tiful sun dial mounted on a round pil- lar of polished Kilkenny marble. I wish you all could have seen these gardens. The air was filled with perfume, and such a variety of colors, shape and form I may never see again. Such enormous palm houses made of glass. These houses are the shape of the palm trees, narrow at the bottom and incline outwards until they reach the height of 20 feet and then form a dome. The highest point is between 40 and 50 feet high. The palms were of an enormous size and very beauti- as|ful. Nearly all the flowers live in the ?p‘en except those from tropical coun- ries. After leaving the gardens we passed through the village of Glasnevin. We were shown the residenee of Dean Swift and Stella. ‘We passed into the Cemetery avenue P —— e E———————————————————————— THE POOL, Many of the inhabitants spend their winters in the south.

Cit- izens of good repute here are noted as “Free Lance” #eople in the south. We had a large fcrewell social lately. Grandpa Toad was there, attended by all the professors, pupils and patrons of the Water Btreet academy, from both the Frogville and Toadville resi- dent districts; and many of the other inhabitants, especially from the little Bugviile settlement. besides all Worm- Lole. Master Jock Rabbit presided, Miss Nuthatch acted as secretary. I had a seat of honor on the latest st‘ugw Willilam the Beaver had cre- ated. After Jack Rabbit had introduced Grandpa Toad with a few character- istic but jumping remarks, Grandpa 'Toad called up his professor of elocu- fion, who gave us a demonstration of what is meant by voice culture. 1. Much depended on which family’| of pupils—toads or frogs—were study- ing. (They always study out loud and often with their backs to the teacher.) 2. Position. 3. Respiration. The power to inhale skilfully and to exhale prudently con- stituted the art of breathing. (I had to acknowledge that was somethiag ‘many boys and girls could not do. They never fill their lungs.) 4.

Master Cricket just then gave an ex- pression of his feelings by drawing one of his legs as a bow across a scale on his side. Bvervbody laughed, even Mistress Owl, while Bobby Gray, he of the celebrated Squirrel family, shouted: “We all know - that!” which causzd more expressions until Master Jack Rabbit had the marshal, William, the Eeaver, pound with his tail for order, and Prof. Pip Tead was al- lowed to proceed. The professor was pleased. His throat swelled, and after assuming a proper position gave us a_good illus- tration of voice, formiand quality in his scale of pitch—very high, high, middle, low and very low. He then called upon his friend Sir Bull-Frog who gave us an interesting illustration of how certain of his ancestors fright- ened a lot of humans in Connecticut one night. . Of course, that made me explain what was meant by the “en of the world.” I should have told that Mr. Bull-Frog used an orotund. form of voice with changes of pitch, certain pauses, great emphasis, interspersed witls waves, inflections, cadences, gmumings Wwith other voices, and a nal climax It was a natural dering of what might be, At the close of the was a2 babel of voices mingled with the laughter of Jack Crow. = The Toads, Frogs and several othe souzht burrows in mud and sand, stacks, also some small boats.

I tested my seed corn with a cheese cloth. My piece was plowed in the spring and the manure was put on be- fore it was plowed. I harrowed it with a pair of three-year-old steers. I harrowed it three times with the wheel harrow and twice with the iron- tooth harrow. Mr. Brundage took a picture of me harrowing with my steers, It was three feet between the rows and 14 inches in the rows. I put two bags of fertilizer on my corn fleld. I cultivated my corn six or. seven times. I held the cultivator and my sister rode on the horse’s back and drove her. I hoed my corn once. I pulled the suckers out when it was gu'lte small and left three stalks to a in, 1 began cutting my corn about the 3d of Scptember and finished about the 10th, mornings and nights, be- fore and after school. I went through it before I cut it and got a lot of seed corn. I sent ten ears of flint corn to Hart- ford fair and got first prize of seven dollars. I husked it all alone and got just 80 ‘bushels.
