BRONX © THE RAGMAN, ~ While watching at my front window on Union Avenue for my little girl to come home from school I saw that a funeral was in progress in the next block. There was a hearse there and several carriages, and it seemed as if the body was about to be brought out. While I watched @ ragman drove along, who wanted to go through that block. As he approached, his bells jingled, calling the attention fo house- wives to his presence. He saw the funeral arrangements just ahead and coming to a stop in front of my house got down and stuffed every bell with bits or rag. Then he drove along past the house of death, —Mrs. Catherine W.

TROUT. A visit to the State Fish Hatchery at Cold Spring Harbor to-day gave me an Insight of the infinite care required to raise the fry and fingering trout with which public stream: of the State are stocked each year. I saw trout in ali stages of growth, and it was very in- teresting and instructive. A tiny sack adheres to the trout when {it emerge: from the egg, and for forty days the wee trout is fed from that sack. Dur- ing that time the little fish are kept to a trough indoors, through which wate: runs constantly, When the sacks are used up the fish are moved to pools outside, The poole are separated by wire screens, In the various stages of {ta growth the trout are moved from one. poel to another, until they are large enought to be “‘planted’’ in streams where, later, they rise to the anglers files.—Harry W.

This morning when I stepped into the back garden I saw two Uttle girls there, banging away on a shovel. On seeing me they invited me over. “Come and listen to the lovely music from WJZ!" they urged. I went over and saw that they had driven a little sand shovel into a flower box. From the top of the shovel an old piece of wire led to the chair or bench they were sitting on. There was also a long piece of cord attached to the shovel and on one end of it four big coat buttons. These they were holding to their ears, and I doubt very much if any other fans in Yonkers ever found more enjoyment in a radio programme. works there every night.

FIRST, BROOKLYN PLACING THE RESPONSIBILITY, My four-year-old kindergarten children were working diligently with empty cracker boxes, some making clocks, others wagons of doll carriages and still others boats. Charles had decided to trans- form his Social Tea box into a boat, and with much effort had cut three round apertures in one of the broad sides—this wag all be could complete in one period, but he came in to-day overjoyed at the thought of putting three smokestacks into the already prepared settings. I gave him small sheets of drawing paper and rolled one into a cylin- “der, expecting him to use it as a pattern. I busied myself with other children for ten or fifteen minutes and then began a tour of inspec- tion, to see how all were progressing. When I came to Charles, he proudly held his boat up for my approval. * * * It was really » great success for a four-year-old, and after showing my pleasure in the result I remarked: “I think the .mokestack in the centre is not as carefully made as the two end ones.” His reply left no need for fur- ther comment. “Well,” he said, “you made the middle one yourself.” —Elizaheth BR Bucknam.
