The idea of substituting news- papers for reading books in y ub- lic schools h:s taken hold of some mincs and occasioned some discussion. There are some newspapers which could be used with profit, there are others which would impress into the plastic minds of the children false ideas. The question, therefore, of the newspaper to be used is impor- tant, and the person to make the selection should be considered.

Light bamboo canes grasped firm ly in the middle showed they were full grown men. ‘*See,’’? said one, ‘‘what we have descended from!”’ And they locked into the cage of monkeys and laughed. The mother monkey called her children about her. They climbed gravely on the perch to listen to her words.

This wouldn’t be shopping at all if we talked coherently. You are evi- dently melancholy.

But, as it is, my physician says that I must confine myself absolute- ly to vermicelli.’’ ‘That was simply delicious. You'll never know how much you missed by not taking it, Mr. Smith. I shall certainly have to order two cans of that. And, now that you didn’t take the soup, you surely can’t refuse to try some of those little pickles. Aren’t they the cutest things you ever saw? Do try one. No? Mr. Smith, you’rea martyr. Just look at those vanilla wafers. They’re made out of that new kind of cereal. Don’t they look as though they would melt before they could be swallowed? And they’re just as good as they look too. Really, I must have another. Oh, and there’s |= some of that cheese they’re all talk- ing about. Have you tried that cheese, Mr. Smith?
