"Aim to be kind," says Horace
Mann, "generous, magnanimous.'' If
there is a boy in school who has a
clubfoot, dont let himjknow you ever
saw it. It there is a poor boy with
ragged clothes, don't j talk about rags
in' his hearing. If there s a lame
boy, assign him some part of the
game which does no require running.
If there is a huugry, one, give J him
part of your dinner.' It. there is a
dull one, help him to fearn fiis lesson.
If there is a bright one, be jibt envi
ous of him : for if one boy is! proud of
his talents and another is envious of
them, there are two great .wrongs,
and no more talent than befpre. If a
a bigger or stronger boy has injured
you and is sorrv lor it,. forgive him,
and request the teacher: not jto punish
him.- It is much better to have a
kind heart than a great, fist. :;- '')

The Home Vegetable Garden and its Pest?.
The Experiment Station", at Ral
eigh, N. C, is now issuing a bulletin
by the above title (No. 132) which,
as its name indicates, is a treatise for
raising vegetables in the home garden,
and was prepared by W. F. Massey,
Horticulturist of the Station, and
Gerald McCarthy, Botanist 'and
Entcmplogist. The fungous and in
sect diseases are carefully treated by
the latter and a variety of formulas
are given to destroy these pests.
It is believed that this publication
is the most practical oi any-ever is
sued upon this subject by any Station,
especially to meet" conditions in ihe
South. It will be sent free to parties
in North Carolina who apply for it to

Heaven. The city seems to be cen
