An expedition was sent to one of
the southern states of America to
observe an eclipse of the sun. The j
day before the event, one of its
members said to an old darky be
longing to the house where he was
staying: “Tom, if you- will watch
your chickens tomorrow morning,
you’ll find that they‘11 all go to roost
at 11 o’clock.”
.Tom was skeptical, but sure
‘enough, at the time predicted, the
sky darkened, and the chickens Re
tired to roost, The-Negro, amazed,
bdyond measure, sought put the
scientist and asked; “Professor;'liow
long ago did you know dem chick
ens would go to roost?”
“About a year ago,” he replied
with a smile.
“Well, if date don’t beat all!” said
Tom. “Why .puerfessor, a year ago

WORTH OBSERVING
We have in mind the faces of our lawn bowlers. We have no
intention of saying anything about- regularity of features or about
that much-talked-Of schoolgirl complexion,. We’re thinking of the
lines of care, and such things as are sure to be found in the faces •
of .men who are worth their salt these trying days. When the own-.,
ers of such faces come to the bowling green, they look weary and
depressed. Each line has its history of hard work, and, it may be,
< of disappointment. * The interesting thing is to see these lines grad
ually fade opt and the lines of good fellowship and pursuits of
happiness take their place. It is good to hear three score or three
score and ten sliou,t like twelve or fifteen. Eyes that have not
shone overmuch these last few months sparkle and shine and even
... gleam as the resting place of ‘the kitty is eagerly sought for. And
how the chin lifts as the desired port of entry is sought and entered! '
The faces “after taking” the bowling .green treatment are very dif
ferent from those “before taking”. I All work' and no- play put Bill

School days are over for this part of the year and teachers
and pupils are seeking new fields and pastures'new. Strange as it
■may seem, improved’methods of teaching and very much improved
school buildings \and equipment have not taken the weariness out

learned if advance is to be made-in useful learning. No matter
what hygiene is taught and practised, the physical-resources of pupils-
and teachers becdme exhausted and must be replenished if disaster
is to -be avoided. “The time cOmes When one simply must get away/’
