household, and their gay youni? spirit
their fun, jokes and love-making kept
the whole countryside alive and alight,
and provided interest and amusement
for their elders as for themselves. Now
tlie horse rake, the patent mower, reap
er and binder, the improved chum and
butter worker, the neighboring cannery
and the sewing-machine have super
seded the young fingers and scattered
the farm broods far and wide to search
for work and make new homes. The
farming districts are less thicklv neo- INSTRUCTION in Inorganic and Or

fun.
It is impossible to put back the hands
on Time's clock and restore a phase of
life that has vanished, but many a
woman whose ties and duties bind her
to a lonely country district is fretting
her heart out for lack of interests and
pleasures outside of her daily round of
labor. She pines for the companion
ship of her kind, for the cheerful little
play of life and gossip which would
make her forget for awhile the dull
succession ot duties that form the sum
of her existence. These are they who
need to learn how to enjoy the country
who need to have their eyes opened
to the many pleasures and interests
lying to their hand did thev choose
to ayail themselves of them inter
ests that they shut their eyes to, pleas-
icjr icivec to accept.
Nothing will ever he so valuable to
human beings ad the companionship
or other human beings, but lacking
these why not make companions and
friends ot the lower forms of life? Most
country people live surrounded bv
chickens, horses, cattle, pigeons," dogs,
birds and a thousand wild things and
creeping insects, and yet not one in a
hundred so surrounded ever opens his
eyes to see all the humble tragedies and
comedies in play about him, and is too
scornful of the minor creatures to care
to observe how like they are in charac
ter and fate to himself, too indifferent
to liind pleasure in winning the love
or entering into the lives of his daily
companions.
"I've no time to be running after
vi.vu1CO-1,ukwi- nuo ants' nests, U 25 tf
watching the birds bring up their
young, or stroolmg about tne country
in search of beetles !" says one. But
no time taken from duties is required
for such knowledge. The only thing
-a needed is to keep one's eyes wide open
"hen crossing the pasture, to watch the
Hedgerows on the way to church, to
have an occasional eye upon the friend
ly little bam swallows breeding under
the eaves as one sits sewing on the
porch. It does not take long, as one
opens the house for the day some clear
dewy morning, to step upon the grass
for an instant and examine the marvel
ous art of the bright-eyed spider who
has spread all the lawn with "queen's
table-cloths," that are heavy with the
moisture of night and lie bleachin- in
the early sun, ready for m.warv little
feet and wings. It consumes but a ve. v
tew seconds to watch the ants milkin
their tiny green cows the sm.il!
des that crowd upon the delicate shoots
ot the wandering branch of honevsncc
le which one is twisting back into
place.
Once in touch with all these humb!
folk affectionately interested in, an
observant of thpm .
iu country is
never again bare and lonely. Most
people think such affection and such
interest quite beneath their proud
place as human beings, but thev forget
that Shakespeare, who knew the heart
01 kings and conquerors, did not dis-
aa.nto know the habits of the humblest
.l ' ,0rget thnt e loftiest
sc.ent.hc minds think none of God's
creatures unworthy the Profoundet
study.
