As a girl. her reading was confined chiefly to hooks for boys. She spent her pocket money on the "Boy's Own Paper." How many girls do not do the same thing to-day ? Why is is that boys' books are usually as popu- lar with girls as with boys, whilst boys, seldom or never, open a girl's book ? Is it not because boys' books are natural human productions, and . girls" books are something exclusive, particular, unreal ? The Duchess of Sutherland advises parents to avoid any books labelled "a tale for girls." To carry this injunction .out to the letter would be a little hard on 'some really good books written specially for girls, but in the main the Duchess is undoubtedly right. In her opinion courage, resource, 'and fair play are not peculiarly thale attributes, and she urges that "a woman, though she never rides to hounds, never handles: a gun, if she be nat at heart , sports- man stunts her sympathies, paradoxj- cal as this may sound. and loses half the "joys of life." Who can deny that ? "The sooner," save the duch- ess, "we discourage our girls from adopting conventional kinks to warp | their opinions, and help them to he true to themselves and to what they réally care for, the better." That is both straight,and wise talk. Girls are none the worse for 4 dose of the vig- healthy. breezy sentiment is too often absent from girls' orous which hooks. | -- THREE NEW DIRECTORS On Mrs. the Y.M.C.A.

The funeral of the late William M. Germaine occurred on Friday after- noon, the service beifig held at the home of the sister of deceased gon Al wington 'avenue, Rev. J. H. Philp conducted the service, during which he spoke fittingly. of the life of deceased. He was followed by J. B. Archer, of Ottawa, one of the railway associates of the departed, who made touching reference to the sad accident that be- fel his comrade. He told of his rail- way career and the esteem in which he was held both by mates and offi- cials.. His presence, along with that of T. Lett, was evidence of the kindly feeling all on the C.A.R., had for Mr. Germaine. More of his comrades would have attended the funeral 'had Tit been possible. They had sent alonx a floral tribute, a broken brake wheel, typical of the calling of deceased. The remains were buried at Cataraqui cemetery. The family and friends of deceased are deeply grateful to the railway men for their kindness, mark- edly shown to the deceased while he was yet alive and to his relatives who hastened to his side.

These with an aunt, Mrs. Mc Fadden, were present with deceased in his last moments. ------------ A Strong Endorsement. Headquarters Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Dear Mrs. Cowan : I am decidedly in favor of Colonial Remedy. 1 know of so maiv case where it has effected. a cure and brought happiness where only existed, that 1 would not be worthy of the name woman did 1 not heartily endorse it. 1 have been closely con nected with Dr. Brown 'in his work with it. Hundreds of letters wives, mothers and sisters, as well as from the parties themselves, testify to its eflicacy, and inhuman is the person who would try to stop \the good being done by refusing the sanc- tion of our official titles. The W.C.T. U. is in the field to fight the liguor power with any honorable weapon that will win the day, and this surely is an honorable one, since it cures the poor deluded vietim and brings hoy and reason again to his debased n: ture. When I find anyone so narrow -as to fight a good thing, I answer them as the Lord did the disciples when they came and told Him that others were casting out devild and thev for bade it, as they did it not in His name, and |He reproved them and said, "Not so, for they that be for us are not against us."

Injured by Bugsting Gun--About Many Persons. Napanee, Oct. 25.--What might have proved a tragic death by shooting oc- curred on Wednesday afternoon last. Raymond Lloyd, son of Jacob Lloyd Selby Road, was in company with hoy Asselstine and kobert Grivin, two companions. Their mission for the ai ternoon was to amuse themselves shooting. They had two guns, and when they got out in the country ab- out half a mile from F. Van De Bo- gart's farm, they fastened a paper to the fence and began their target prac- tice. It is supposed that an overload of powder and shot was put into the gun, and when young Lloyd pulled the trigger the barrel burst, knocking him over backwards and almost complete- ly blowing his nose away. He was picked up, and, with blood streaming from his terrible wound, walked to Mr. Van De Bogart's, where a rig was procured and he was immediately con- veved to town. Dr. Leonard dressed the wound, and removed severa piec- es of bone. The lad will he disfigured for life, but the doctors have hope that his life can be saved. Another distressing accident happen- ed early this week to Ross, the ten vear-old son of Homer Miles. The lad and his younger sister wore playing with matches, when his clothing caught fire, severely burning him so that for several days his life was despaired of. Last reports say that he is slowly re- covering. Mrs. W. C. and the Misses Scott were "At Home" to a large number of lady friends on Wednesday i noon. They were assisted in the draw- ing-room by - Mrs. Thomas Johnston. Mrs. A. Macdonald and Mrs. Dudley L. Hill presided at the beautifully de- corated refreshment table, and were assisted by .the Misses Wright, Bart lett, Herring, Johnston, and Miss Car- rie Scott.
