The cornt-r loafer Is the result at
fmline the la.k of restraint whkh
vliould he lla-ed oa the youth. Thto ,
cliiinieter Is not found ia any partle- !
ul.ir aeetloB of the country, but every
where. Every towu la troubled with
him.
Many rommunltiea have tried some
thing en the order of the boy scout
Wea to protect their youug uieu. Or
ganizations of a military nature have
lMen established In which the boy en
lists aud out of w hich he conies a bet
ter nmu, but nothing heretofore has
been so beneficial and farreaching In
Its success.
Here the boy Is taught to be clean,
to be upright and mauly, to be atten
tive and NiUcut.
The spirit which governs the
scouts catches the fancy of the boy.
and he can easily be made to fall In
with the purpose of tne movement.
Of course It should not be overdone.
Americans are prone to "do the Job
too well." In Spokane teachers in the
schools have reported that the boy
scouts are too much concerned with
Indians to be Interested In geography
or selling. "Some of them learn to
tie the sheepshank knot with great
success, but show ouly slight interest
In mental arithmetic. Others tramp
about the country, reconnolterinf
against imaginary foes and lighting
fires with not more than two matches'
when they should be in Sunday school
The movement and what it stands for
are the things that most interest ns.
We must not let any of the weaker
possibilities take hold of it We must
keep straining our energies to see that
the finer qualities take the lead, work
ing for the good of the boy, the com
munity and the nation."
Junior Republics hare proved
great help to the boy in teaching hiin
how the country is governed. So let
It be with the boy scout movement
but let its aim be higher. No move
ment in recent years has had greater
possibilities for good, more practical
potentialities for the development of
strong and wholesome manhood,
than the boy scout movement
The scope of the Idea Is national
But make it local. Teach the boys
civic affairs, civic pride, civic beauty.
Teach them to love their home town
and everything belonging to it tor
this will make for the town's success.
The movement as taken up in Ameri
ca is explained as follows:
First It la a character bulletin move
ment. Its object being to Instill Into the
boy loyalty to parents, employers and su
periors, loyalty to American Institutions
and the flag.
Second, It Is a semlmllltary movement
to Instill Into the boy proper regard for
discipline, obedience to authority, to teach
him law and order and to make him indi
vidually capable of executing orders
whether they be In civil or military life.
Third. It is a nonsectarian movement
The creed line Is absolutely eliminated.
Boys of all faiths may Join.
Fourth. There are no assessments or
dues collectable for the exploitation of
the American boy. The boy Is taught to
finance bis little patrol according to his
pocket and the necessary equipment is
given to the boy at the cost of manufac
ture and without profit to any one. The
men who handle the uniforms or the
other necessary articles make no profit
out of it as It is not intended that they
should.
Fifth. It is a popular patriotic move
ment The boy scouts are taught that
there Is a common brotherhood between
them. They are instructed In all the es
sential things that go to make good citi
zenship, good morals and good physique.
Sixth. Behind the movement are men
who stand highest in the various walks
of American endeavor, and only those
who are permitted to stand as its spon
sors may do so.
To protect this organization it has been
Incorporated as a national movement with
headquarters at 2U9 Broadway, New York
city, where the managing director, James
F. McGrath, has his offices and from
whom all persons desirous of affiliating
w-ith this movement in any of the states
may receive proper instructions and di
rections as to how to proceed. All boys
between the ages of ten and twenty are
eligible. All members of the national
Kuurd or other military organisations, ac
tive or retired, and who desire to help the
movement may register as drlllmasters.
besides the military scouts who wear
the khaki uniform of the regular army
there are also the American boy scout
rtuvnl battalions organizing and also a
Red Crops division for girls between the
a;es of twelve and twenty.
Another division that will appeal to the
American boy Is the American boy scout
aero division.
" LIGHTER THAN CORK.

very useful for stuillng cheap mat

low wadding that nature uses as cor

the Malaccas. Its fibers being very

excellent results for bedding, making
a mattress delightfully soft if It Is ex

The threads of the soft fillers taken
from the pods are light yellow, rather

Tlse quarries of Maiue are well and
widely known aud supply immense
quantities of stone, especially grauite.
for use iu all parts of the country, but
the ores of the state are not now exten
sively mined. For many years the ores
of Mount Katahdia produced 2.X10 to
13.000 tons of Iron a year, and lu the
early sixties the I.ule and other lead
mines were worked In a small way.
In the eighties several hundred tons
of copper were smelted at Biuehiil from
ores mined at the Liouglas and other
mines in the neighliorhood. lu addi
tion to this metallic output, about 5.OU0
ounces of silver have been mined at Sul

Queer Natural Balls.
At various points on the Atlantic
coast, particularly in New Jersey,
mere Have been found queer hollow
balls or masses of yellow Iron ore con
taining loose particles that rattle when
shaken like the contents of a child's
rattle box. It is thought that when
the concretions of ore were formed
the central parts consisted principally
of some material that afterward dis
solved away, so that the Interior space
now contains only fragments of ore
and sand. When these balls are bro
ken the fractured edges sometimes
show beautiful bauds of red aud yellow.

not take more than thirty seconds per
cow. The cow's udder comes in con

portant that the udder should be
washed with a damn snunire or eloih
