tration shows Captain and Mrs. Kitchel 

 sitting on the edge of that canoe and 

 thinking pleasant thoughts as they 

 ought to do in such pleasant surround- 

 ings. In one end of this rock-bound 

 vessel is a luxuriant growth of purple 

 white and lemon verbenas. Through 

 the middle marches a regiment of the 

 deliciously fragrant heliotrope, while the 

 stern is filled and adorned by pink be- 



gonias. 



Conspicuous in the center of the gar- 

 den is a gorgeous display of spiderwort 

 (Cleome). Scattered about are beauti- 

 ful patches of phlox, pink and white, 

 zinnia, mignonette with other beautiful 

 flowering plants that make the garden 

 an altogether delightful place. 



Like altar fires above the green. 

 The lilies from our lattice seen.

A Thorough Nature Student. 



Miss Holden had recently taken the 

 position as governess in the Weaver 

 family and had just returned home 

 with the children after enjoying a long 

 walk in the country. Little Madeline 

 approached her teacher and confided : 



"I ate a worm when I was out this 

 afternoon, Miss Holden." 



With grave anxiety Miss Holden, 

 thinking perhaps the child had really 

 done such a thing, talked to her vehe- 

 mently, explaining the undesirability 

 of young worms as an article of diet. 

 Then, looking on the funny side, the 

 governess went on in a softer manner : 



"And just think, dear, how dreadful- 

 ly the mother worm felt to have her 

 little baby eaten up." 



"Oh, I ate she's muvver, too," re- 

 turned the little miss in a triumphant 

 manner.
