This does not mean -that children shorad be bored by listening to music Whieh they are too undeveloped to enjoy. Let the younger ones sine the beautiful song a that have stood the test of years. In selecting music, re- member that just as the child's body and mind develop tlireugh the various stagee through which the human race has passed, se his masie taste will also tread in the footsteps of the mesa Children are especially fond of the tones of the stylephone, flute,harp and violin, th strutnent be. n,g direct descendants of the 'first musical in- struments invented by our remote an- cestors.

Let them hear really fine music, let them listen to some great orchestra, but do not fail to give them in their ewn homes the works of the masters, that these may have in later years the dear familiarity of long - loved friends.

Famous Authors' Schooldays. Mr. RUdyarcl Kipling was in tile habit of selling his old school books to a daroe who kept a curiosity shop at Bideford. In Tweet yeare many people have visited the shop, taping to pick up a volame with an etaly com- position of the great man scrawled in the margin. They im.ve been disgust- ed to hear that the old dame rubbed out everything of the kind. "No," 'sae said, on one occasion, "Master Kipling was always fair to me, and he may have written things not so good as those he has sold since. 7 wasn't going to, have them pelting fun at him." Which shows the popu- larity Mr. Kipling enjoyed in his schooldays. Another great writer, Sir James Barrie, ha.staegood otory to tell of his young days.

We had a house with only four rooms, so decided to beild,' I selected a plan where I had eight rooms, with bath and closets These rootiS were arranged so as to eliminate a lot of extara steps, We put a basement un er this who]e budding. Now I have my canned fruit in there instead of in a dirt house in the back part of the yard. In this 'basement 'WO put, a hot-air furnace, and every room is heated by the furnace. This saves me the work of putting up and taking down stoves arid the job of polishing stoves three or four times a season. And the fur- nace being in. the baseinent, when my huabana builds the fires all the litter is in one place and I thus have much less sweeping to do. • My living -room in the old houee had to be swept every time there was wood brought in and a fire brat, and "now my living -room etays cleaner swept thave times a week than it did , when swept three times a day.

'dart eountries, the 'native girls are married at an extremely early age, often before they a.re fifteen, and it is not uncoramon for them to have been divorced: at twenty. . Divorce proceedings More= are not nearly so complicated as in this country, and merely consist of a friendly talk between the woman's husband and her father. An arrangement is made _by which she returns to her parents, the hus- band often paying compensation to the father The same whman will probably soon be married again to another Meer and will take it all as a matter of course.

The festivi- ties take the form ef mach feasting, dancing, music, and the firing of sal- utes from. the long native rifles. Friends come from all the surround- ing districts, rigged out in their brightest and best attire. The Moorish -woman's life is never very exciting or vatied, and her many domestic duties tie her to the house.
