Allen L.—A boy who is not strong enough to work out-of-doors should find some pleasant occupation which he can practice in the house. Have you a scroll-saw and a few designs? If so, you may make pretty boxes, book-racks, frames, and easels, for which you will find a sale among your friends. Or, if you can obtain a small printing-press, you may earn some money by printing visiting-cards, circulars, and invitations for your acquaintances. Perhaps, though an invalid, you are well enough to help along a little in the house, where there is a great deal to do, and where the mother and sisters are sometimes very tired. In the times of canning fruit, of pickling and preserving, a clever and quick-witted boy can render very welcome service. This kind of work ought to be paid for as liberally as the hoeing and weeding by which your active and healthy brothers are able to obtain their spending-money.
Eva W. and Bessie McC.—Thank you, dears, for the programme of your little entertainment. You displayed a great deal of ingenuity in arranging it.
We would call the attention of the C. Y. P. R. U. this week to Mrs. John Lillie's entertaining article on the great musical composer Christoph Willibald, Ritter von Gluck, and to "Something about Lightning," by Mr. C. J. Muller. The very little folk will be interested in the wonderful German baby with such a long list of names, and so many royal relatives to love him and teach him how to fill nobly the great station to which he is born.
