I'm a relative newbie to DSLRs and have a d5000 which I got last year. I've stayed with the 18-55mm kit lens so far as I couldn't afford a larger zoom. Now I can, I am unsure whether to go for the 55-200mm which is around £150 or the more expensive 55-300mm at £230.
I can afford the bigger lens but would I be better off with the 55-200mm and then maybe getting a bigger lense say 70-300mm (or more) later on?
We go to Chester Zoo a lot and so it is wildlife shots that I am most interested in taking with the zoom lens.
Thanks for any help on this

The high speed train that runs on the new 2,298-kilometre (1,425-mile) line between Beijing and Guangzhou runs into Xuchang East Station in Xuchang, central China's Henan province on December 26, 2012. China started service on December 26 on the world's longest high-speed rail route, the latest milestone in the country's rapid and -- sometimes troubled -- super fast rail network. The opening of this new line means passengers will be whisked from the capital to the southern commercial hub in just eight hours, compared with the 22 hours previously required.

BMC Racing Team's Alessandro Ballan was resting comfortably Saturday after undergoing successful surgeries to remove his spleen and repair a double fracture of his left femur. The injuries were the result of a high-speed crash Thursday during a team training ride near Parcent, Spain.
Receiving Good Care
BMC Racing Team Chief Medical Officer Dr. Max Testa said the surgery to fix Ballan's displaced fracture went very well late Thursday night and into Friday morning. In addition to breaking his leg, the 2008 world road champion fractured a rib and suffered abdominal trauma, including a ruptured spleen. "When the doctors realized he would have to stay in the hospital longer because of his abdominal injuries, they decided to take care of his femur at the same time since he was already sedated," Testa said. "The orthopedic surgeon said he was very pleased with how the bones lined up and the doctors are cautiously optimistic that he'll make a full recovery with no complications." Testa thanked the staff of Hospital Dénia Marina Salud, where Ballan is expected to remain for at least a few more days. "They've been doing a great job of monitoring him closely and going to great lengths to make sure he is receiving good care," he said.
Thankful For Messages
Ballan has been in the company of his wife, Daniela, since early Friday morning and attended to by BMC Racing Team Dr. Dario Spinelli since the accident occurred. From his hospital bed Saturday, Ballan said he has been appreciative of all the emails, Tweets and posts to the BMC Racing Team Facebook page he has received. "I have been moved by all the messages of support I have received," he said. "It lifts my spirits to know there are so many people all over the world who are wishing me well for a fast recovery. Thank you to everyone."
No Timetable For Return
BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz said riders, management and staff have been deeply affected by Ballan's crash, which occurred on the penultimate day of training camp. "We don't know how long Alessandro will be out of competition, but I'm confident our other riders will dig a little deeper to make up for his absence," Ochowicz said. "What's been nice to see is how everyone has stepped up from the moment this happened, especially Dr. Spinelli, who is giving up his holidays." Ballan had been scheduled to begin his season at the Santos Tour Down Under in Australia but no decision has been made on who will replace him for that race.

Renewable Energy
PlumbNation Heating Supplies Renewable Energy Guide
Renewable energy is energy derived from natural, renewable resources such as sunlight, geothermal heat and wind, as opposed to fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal. With increasingly higher fuel prices and climate change many of us are considering renewable energy as an alternative fuel source. Many of us are still relying on non renewable energy for our day-to-day routines, however PlumbNation can offer you a great selection of renewable energy products to help you contribute to living in a cleaner, safer planet.
In 2008 roughly 19% of global final energy consumption came from Renewable Energy Solar Energy being one of them; Renewable Energy in electricity generation is around 18%. Many people around the world are awakening to the negative impact of CO2 emissions on the environment and the problems associated with the nonchalant use of non renewable energy consumption. As a result people are taking it upon themselves to make a positive change for the better of all.
You may think that to make a worthy contribution to cutting down CO2 emissions and your carbon footprint you will need expensive wind powered technology etc. but there are in fact many affordable solutions available for the domestic household that genuinely do work. PlumbNation Heating Supplies have a great selection of useful, accessible and affordable Renewable Energy products from the top manufacturers of the Renewable Energy and Heating industries.
Solar Energy / Solar Power offers a genuine alternative to non renewable energy such as gas, oil and electricity, which typically comes from a highly wasteful nuclear power station (two thirds of a nuclear power stations power is lost). By installing Solar Panels to your roof you can harness the sun's solar energy all year round even with the UK's typically overcast skies. Geothermal Energy is another reliable Renewable Energy source because with a Ground Source Heat Pump or Ground Heat Pumps you will be able to procure heat directly from the ground, as you will essentially be tapping heat from the earth itself. Realistically with Solar Power there is a term of 5 – 7 years before you will see a return on your Renewable Energy investment in Solar Energy, but many of us would consider this to be a small price to pay for saving the planet.
With rising fuel prices and an ever-growing consciousness for the environment, more and more people are realising the benefits that Renewable Energy derived from Solar Energy and Geothermal Energy can offer. The sun is here for us every day providing free energy and Solar Powered Solar Panels enables us to harness this energy for the home.
Solar Panels
Solar Panels are one of the most effective Renewable Energy products currently available as they can provide between 50%-70% of your domestic hot water.
Solar Panels / Solar Collectors are the main elements of a solar system. Public misconceptions about Solar Panels are still high with people believing that Solar Panels are powered solely by direct heat from the sun's rays, meaning therefore that Solar Panels wouldn't be a feasible Renewable Energy source for use in the UK due to our typically overcast skies. However the real truth is that Solar Panels also operate by diffusing light (as well as heat) from the sun using a special fluid (water and glycol) that is being circulated through the Solar Panel / Solar Collector. The heat gained from this fluid is then transferred to the stored water via a coil / heat exchanger within the cylinder, thus providing a substantial amount of hot water for the home. Solar Panels are therefore a very realistic option for Renewable Energy.
There are two main types of Solar Power Solar Panels used for Solar Water Heating systems; the first being Flat Plate Solar Panels and the second being Evacuated Tube Solar Panels. Evacuated Tube Solar Panels are specially designed to give maximum absorbency and are therefore considered more efficient, however they can also be more expensive to purchase and maintain. Flat Plate Solar Panels however are still highly effective but are also more affordable than Evacuated Tube Solar Panels, making them the more popular choice for Renewable Energy / Solar Energy. Flat Plate Solar Panels are also more flexible for use and can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Solar Panels can be installed on almost any roof type such as Slate, Tile, etc. Solar Panels can either be mounted On Roof, where brackets are fixed and the panels held into place, or alternatively they can be installed In Roof where the panels are set into the roof covering. In Roof Solar Panel applications tend to be used in new build projects rather than existing buildings.
The amount of Solar Power Solar Panels required for your property is determined by the amount of hot water that needs to be heated. We at PlumbNation Heating Supplies recommend that you seek further advice from your installer or manufacturer if you have any doubts about your requirements.
Solar Power Cylinder
Solar Cylinders are specially designed for Solar Power Solar Heating installations. A mixture of water and a special Glycol liquid (specially designed to absorb maximum heat from the sun's rays) is circulated through pipe work in the Solar Panels. This liquid is then returned to the Solar Cylinder where the heat is transferred to the stored water via an internal coil / heat exchanger, the liquid is then pumped back to the Solar Panels to be reheated.
An additional coil is also required to obtain heat from an alternative source, if the heat from the Solar Energy is insufficient. This is most commonly referred to as Indirect Twin Coil Cylinder. Direct Cylinders can be used for Solar Power, with the added heat source being supplied via the internal immersion heaters. It is advised however to install an Indirect Cylinder, as this provides faster heating and recovery times.
Ground Source Heat Pump
A Ground Source Heat Pump or Ground Heat Pumps procure geothermal energy from the ground itself. Pipes lie underground, i.e. your garden, to draw heat from the ground, as beneath the seemingly cold surface the ground will remain at a relatively constant temperature. This means that a Ground Source Heat Pump can provide your home with safe Renewable energy all year round, whether it be a hot summer's day or a cold winter's night. Ground Heat Pumps can be utilised to provide central heating for your Radiators or Underfloor Heating making Geothermal Energy a genuine alternative to a conventional, non renewable energy powered central heating system.
Ground Heat Pumps are electrically powered systems that use the natural Renewable Energy stored within the earth, but how does this actually work? The easiest way to describe how Ground Heat Pumps work is to say that they function similar to refrigerators, except that they do it in reverse. A refrigerator transfers heat from inside itself to the outside of the unit, whereas a Ground Source Heat Pump will transfer heat from outside to inside its pipes, i.e. from the ground directly into its pipes which carry heat to the house. Ground Heat Pumps collect stored Geothermal Energy that is then transferred to the house via a collector system. The Ground Heat Pump will increase the temperature of the stored heat and then distribute that heat throughout the house via Underfloor Heating or Radiators.
With Ground Heat Pumps, there are no direct CO2 emissions, which helps contribute to a cleaner environment. Ground Heat Pumps also help conserve the Earth's diminishing renewable fossil fuels such as Gas, Coal and Oil. Ground Heat Pumps are one of the best, highly efficient forms of Renewable Energy on the market today. The performance and efficiency of Ground Heat Pumps are measured in COP Ratings (Co-efficient of Performance). The COP rating is a simple calculation that works out how much energy the Ground Source Heat Pump is able to extract from the its Geothermal Energy source compared to the amount of electrical energy required to power the Ground Source Heat Pump. The higher the COP rating, the more efficient the Ground Source Heat Pump.
Ground Source Heat Pumps feature highly efficient and effective compressors, which allow for higher flow temperatures. The high output temperature allows Ground Heat Pumps to be effectively combined with Radiators. Radiators should however be typically oversized by around 30% in order to gain full effect. However PlumbNation recommended the use of an Underfloor Heating System as it this will provide the most compatible heat emitter. Scroll Compressors offer excellent COP ratings.
Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Systems (MVHR), also known as Heat recovery ventilation (HRV), help to remove contaminants from an air supply, replacing it with clean fresh air. Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery Systems extract hot air and uses its thermal energy to warm up incoming fresh air.

It's been a long wait, but finally Florence has its Museo del Novecento, dedicated to the twentieth century!
It's been a long wait because it's been over 50 years, 50 years of projects and proposals, before the public could finally see a part of the collections of the City of Florence, granted by artists, collectors and institutions.
After the huge flood that covered Florence in 1966, leaving behind the loss of thousands of works of art, the art historian Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti took the initiative to assemble a committee to raise worldwide public awareness and to ask local and international artists to donate some of their works to replace the ones that had been destroyed. Over 200 artists replied to the appeal of "Artisti per Firenze", as the initiative was named, and the City of Florence promised that their works would become part of a future international museum of contemporary art.
The new Florentine museum is devoted to the Italian art of the twentieth century and houses a collection of about 300 works, divided into 15 exhibition spaces and organized through a path that traces the twentieth century, with its chronological, thematic and interdisciplinary approach, through paintings, sculptures, videos, installations and documents, and with the support of multimedia stations, sound devices and video rooms.
From 20th September 2014 till 25th January 2015, Palazzo Strozzi hosts a unique art exhibition dedicated to the great master Pablo Picasso and many other 20th century artists.
The art exhibition Picasso and the Spanish Modernity groups about ninety works by Picasso and other modern artists such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and Maria Blanchard.
From 20th September 2014 till 25 January 2015 a great selection of paintings, drawings and a film will be displayed in Palazzo Strozzi thanks to the cooperation with the Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
The exhibitions boasts some of the greatest works of art of the 20th century, such as Woman's Head and The Painter and the Model by Pablo Picasso and Siruana, the Path by Miró.
The art exhibition will also show a series of drawings and preparatory paintings useful for Picasso to accomplish the famous Guernica.

Six of the BMC Racing Team's nine starters of the Vuelta a España reached the finish in Madrid Sunday, with Greg Van Avermaet completing the three-week race in the team's best position (83rd overall).
'Really Hard Vuelta'
Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) won the final stage and Juan José Cobo (Geox-TMC) held on to take the overall title by 13 seconds over Christopher Froome (Sky Pro Cycling). BMC Racing Team's Mathias Frank, who finished the second Grand Tour of his career, said he was happy to see the finish line. "The Giro d'Italia was a hard race and after a good Tour de Suisse maybe I was a bit tired here," he said. "But it was a good experience for the future. It didn't quite come out as well as I wanted it to, but I'm happy to make it to Madrid." Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe noted the race was more challenging than recent editions. "It was a really hard Vuelta, with a lot of mountain stages and also stages that weren't really mountainous but still difficult," he said.

CHRISTIAN SANTIAGO REYES, ACCLAMATION, Winner: (Through an interpreter)"I wasn't planning to go to the front, but everybody took back so I just inherited the lead. I've never been on him before so I wasn't sure what to expect. At the half-mile pole I still hadn't let him run, he was just galloping along."
JOE TALAMO, FALCON ROCK, Second: "I tell you what, I had an absolute perfect trip. I was right in the second pack, right behind the four horse (Alphie's Bet) and that horse was getting out, so I moved up a spot and basically just stayed on the rail. The winner had such easy fractions."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, SCINTILLO, Fourth: "He was in perfect position and was doing good. When we straightened out he started lugging in real bad. For some reason, he didn't feel right behind. I was trying to protect him after the wire."
DON WARREN, ACCLAMATION, Winner: "We were sure hoping he would run like this at this distance. He's out of a Silveyville mare. Silveyville could run all day on the front end. We felt that when the time was right and he got a little more maturity, we're going to make him a mile and one-quarter horse. You have to work up to it. He's actually a young 4-year-old. We're lucky if he's actually even four years old. When he came by the wire the first time, he looked beautiful, like he was in a common gallop. I was basically thinking to myself, the half in 50, the half in 50, three quarters in 14 or 15. The horse will do the rest if he can."
NOTES— The 7 ½ length margin of victory was the largest in the history of the Murray. The previous record was seven lengths by Bienamado in 2000…Acclamation was the first California bred winner…The win was the first in a graded stakes for Santiago Reyes, 20, who will ride as an apprentice for the final time on Sunday. Reyes' only other stakes win came with Bench The Judge in the $100,000 Bob Benoit California Cup Juvenile last Oct. 3 at Oak Tree.

Lea just reached 2 million followers on twitter!
who runs this blog?
there's three of us! jess (lea-michele), jenna (rachelberry), and tori (berryhudson).
where do we get pictures from?
generally here for lea and here for cory. we also have access to some private imaging accounts that we use when pictures first come out, so if the photos aren't on either of those websites yet, we probably aren't able to link you to the originals because they aren't publicly accessible. sorry! if you're patient, they should be on leamicheleweb or cory-monteith.com soon.
what specific image accounts do we use?
we use a variety (a friend offered us access to them) but the main ones we use are flameflynet for candids and getty for events.
what do we use to edit pictures/make gifs?
we all use photoshop and make our own psds, which we are currently not giving away.
can we follow back/do promotions?
unfortunately, we can't follow back since this is a sideblog, and we don't do promotions either.
please also note that we are obviously not in any way associated with cory or lea and we therefore don't know anything special about their personal lives, so questions of that nature won't be answered.
thanks and we hope you enjoy this blog!

- Carmel River deadline looms
The new chairwoman of the state water board, which is expected to play an increasingly crucial role in the water politics of the Peninsula and Salinas Valley in the next few years, has ties to Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett.
Felicia Marcus, 57, a Democrat from Emeryville, was tabbed by Gov. Jerry Brown last week to replace retiring board chairman Charles Hoppin, a Republican. Hers was one of four appointments on the five-member board, which now includes four Democrats — all with strong backgrounds on environmental issues.
Marcus knows Burnett from their days at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Burnett said the two didn't actually work together at the EPA — Marcus worked as regional administrator at the Pacific Southwest office and left in 2001, shortly before Burnett started work at the agency's Washington, D.C., headquarters — but he said they "compared notes" about their experience with the agency.
Though he sought to downplay the extent of their relationship, Burnett said he spoke with her "a few years ago" — before he was elected to the Carmel City Council — about the Peninsula water issue. And he apparently knows Marcus well enough to say she has a "very pragmatic approach" and "works to bring in a wide range of stakeholders" on issues.
Burnett said he wasn't aware Marcus had been appointed as chairwoman, and called to congratulate her shortly after he learned of it. He said he believes she will do a great job.
And, Burnett acknowledged, "it doesn't hurt we have the same background.
Dave Stoldt, general manager of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, said Marcus "could very well be a friend of the Peninsula," given her relationship with Burnett.
The state water board will be charged with deciding how to enforce its own 2009 cease-and-desist order that required California American Water to cut back on pumping from the Carmel River by the start of 2017. That order followed the board's ruling in the mid-1990s that Cal Am was exceeding its legal water right from the river.
The order prompted Cal Am to seek a replacement water source capable of meeting the Peninsula's demands, including the failed regional desalination project and the subsequent Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project, a $400 million proposal currently pending before the state Public Utilities Commission.
However, Cal Am has already acknowledged its current proposal will miss the 2017 deadline by about a year, leaving the state water board with a decision about how to proceed.
A lawsuit by Cal Am and other Peninsula interests against the state water board challenging the order was dismissed without prejudice last summer based on an agreement by all parties to allow the litigation to proceed if, and when, it is necessary.
Some observers have speculated Brown's appointments have tilted the state water board to the environmental left, and could result in a stricter interpretation and enforcement of the cutback order.
However, former state water board member Marc Del Piero said the board won't force an "economic Armageddon" on the Peninsula as long as a solution is within reach, and Peninsula officials are hopeful that's the case.
Burnett said he and other local officials are in regular contact with the state water board staff on the Peninsula water issue, and Stoldt said talks will begin soon regarding how to handle the administrative process of the cease-and-desist order.
Stoldt said local officials are hoping to convince the board's staff that a "regulatory drought can't be handled with rationing."
Burnett said he believes it's "premature to reach out" to the state water board, and the order's continued presence serves to keep the Peninsula focused on a solution.
Tthe state water board will also be charged with considering whether to revoke the county's 55-year-old Salinas River use permit. The matter is set for a mid-April hearing at its headquarters in Sacramento.
Del Piero said the new board can also be expected to focus attention on stormwater runoff and water quality with potentially major implications for the Salinas Valley. The issues also could have an impact on the Peninsula.
Burnett said he planned to propose the state water board set a future meeting for the Peninsula in an effort to allow the public to see how the board's decision-making process works.
Marcus was appointed to the water board last year. She served as western director for the Natural Resources Defense Council from 2008-12, as executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Trust for Public Land from 2001-08, and as regional administrator at the EPA's Southwest Pacific office from 1993 to 2001.
Marcus was a commissioner for the city of Los Angeles Public Works board in the 1990s. Stoldt said he believes she will be a "strong supporter" of the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency's recycled water program.

The Money Tree bonsai, also known as the Pachira plant, is a traditional symbol of good luck and good fortune; legend has it that an industrious farmer prospered from braiding the young trunks of this beautiful green plant. And indeed, the unusual trunk gives this lush green ornamental its unique appeal. Each stem typically features five to seven leaves along one stem creating a delightful mini-umbrella shape--but it's deemed good luck to discover seven leaves on any stem! This easy-care bonsai is the perfect choice for the novice. And, offers the recipient your hope for luck and prosperity.
Tips on WateringCareful watering is key to maintaining healthy bonsai. Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Watering instructions may vary slightly depending on the tree or plant species. Please refer to the information tag attached to your bonsai for specific information. Over time you will be able to evaluate each particular bonsai's water requirements and create your own watering schedule to accommodate it. Note whether your bonsai is considered an indoor or outdoor tree and refer below to more specific watering tips for each type.Best results are achieved by watering with a small watering can or hose attachment with a fine-spray nozzle so that water cascades are softer, avoiding blasts to bonsai and potting soil. To water, thoroughly soak the container's soil until water runs out of the bottom drainage holes. Periodic misting of the tree's foliage is also recommended.
Trimming and PinchingBonsai trees benefit from trimming to maintain their miniature size and beautiful form. Pinch and trim new growth back to the farthest safe point, being careful not to remove all new growth. For more in-depth tips about trimming (and training) techniques, an instructional book will provide the best, safest recommendations to keep your bonsai in tip-top shape.

During our ramble yesterday a young lady under my charge was so unfortunate as to lose her ring. You, sir, are the fortunate finder." "I certainly did, madam, pick up a ring, but—" " Ah, how grateful my pupil will bo at beholding It again!" exclaimed the teacher of youth, clasping her hands ecstatically. "Describe it." "Describe it 1 4 diamond ring, handsome and massive, but plain." "And the crest?" "Tho crest! All, that my yonng chargo were •with me 1 Stupid to havp forgotten. The crest of the Daloraines. Itis a lion, passant or—? No, I am WTong. Unfortunate that she should be too unwell to accompany me. But it is immaterial; I will take it for her inspection ; she will recognize it immediately." "I fear, madam, that I should scarcely be justified—" "Sir I" "1 feel it my duty," I said, firmly, "u ider the circumstances, to take evory precaution against mistakes. I trust the young lady is not too seriously indisposed to give you the necessary information," "Very well, sir. Exceedingly well, sir. I fancied—yes, actually fancied— that I wns spL-aking to a gentleman. Yon will find, sir-, that the lady principal of n. female college is not to be insulted with -mpumty. Good morning" \\siy liiH'i'owing this, I njfl scarcely mered ; then I sprang after her. "At least you will leave your address with mc." "Ah, sir," she says, sadly,'handing me the card on wluch she had been penciling,-"some day you will be sorry for this. You do not trust me." Certainly I am a brute. The accent of reproach in her voice haunts me; the sorrowful glonco of her eye—how pretty she is! I sit down to my breakfast in ^he morning, half inclined to call at tho address given, and apologize for my heathenish dL-trust. How delightful to see hor in her own peculiar atmosphere, ministering to the sick brother who is all sho has in the world; to look upon, if ono canuot enjoy, the beautiful tenderness of a gentle sister to an afflicted brother. But my letters wait, and I toy with them. This-is a hand I know. What does Fred want, I wonder ? I tear it open I I read : Deah Jack : What a queer chance if you have stumbled npon my ring. I was obliged to run down to Itnmford late last evening, and never missed it till wo slackened at Ilfoid. A pretty taking I've been in. If it's mine, tho creat is inside. Yoa know it—a mailed hand holding a lance, and the motto: " Armed at all points." Verily, truth is stranger than (lotion. Keep it for me. Fhed Framo. Idiot I Gull 1 It is quito useless to call myself names. It is almost superfluous to ndd that wheu I called at a certain address in Boston Square, to inquire for Miss Lucy Hamilton, the lady \vas not to be found. Probably the "dear Alfred" had required speedy i4iange of air; probably brother and sister were eyen embracing in rapturous gratitude over the relic of ono lost to them so lately.

Best, wliich the busy man and anxious mother ' cannot obtain so long as they can mau- i ago lo keep about, is one of the first i remedies for every headache, nnd we i should never cease to enforce it. The i brain,,when excited, as much needs ; quiet and repose as a fractured limb or an inflamed eyo ; it is obvious that tho - chances of shortening tho seizure and . arresting tho pain -wfll depend on our " power to have tliis carried out actually. , It is a practical lesson to keep steadily j in view in that there may lurk behind a , simple hejidacho some lesion of unknown magnitude, which may remain stationn- j < ry if quietude can be maintained. There, t j is a point worth attending to in the i r treatment of all headaches. It is tliat ' gssni, i&wsrlrws^r'Wii^ "HJ Overyintua' as agent who professes a, desire to trav6l,*Jl nindo alVpreparations to go, resigned my situation," and anxiously awaited my summons. As I wnitecl various articles wero sold to pay expense's, I ate my stovo, I remember ; I think 1 drank up my bureau. At length, when nearly everything had gone, j, learned that Ward had gone, too, taking another agent. I was naturally incensed, and resolved that there would bo a severe settlement whon next we met. I rehearsed tho anticipated scene frequently, and resolved just how I would go to work and annihilate him. Our meeting was_ in New York in July, 1SG4 I had heard of bis return from California, and prepared to empty the vials of my wrath upon his head. My slumbering indignation flamed up at once. I thought of the cooking-stove I hnd devoured, and tho various articles of household furniture I drank up, and was about to go for him, whon Ward suddenly rushed forward and, grasping me warmly by the Land,/exojaimed :• "Why, Gris, old boy, how are you? Wheu did you get back. from California?" As I looked at him, speechless with amazement, ho continued; "They told me* you came hom6 'around the.Som,' but I never knew vou to go around a horn yot—join mo." Now Ward had a very persuasive way of lockifighisarm in with another's, and in a momentary fit of weakness I went along. "WardI" said I sternly, "I owo you a licking on account of that California ngency business, but Avijl put it off until wo drink." • » "Put it.off as long as*ypu want to," replied.

Again, boys must and trill have all sorts of articles collected iu different stages of their lifo, as every mother can testify, but even the mostheteroj^meous collections can bo mado to have places of their own, so the boy can have his pleasure of possession, and the mother's pride in her orderly honsoremainundisturbed. Then, mothers, let "tho boys' room" be just as warm, bright, and cheerful as motherly love and sisterly ingenuity cau make it (for, depend upon it, boys do notice and appreciate little useful ornaments in their room, even if they don't speak of it), and if the room is often full of merry bOy companions, drawn there because oi bargains will stickle on the ninth part of its attractivenesSj don't fret either be a hair.

Bill collectors, who are only doing their duty and trying to make other men become honest and pay their just debts, have ft hard timo of it. Everybody thinks it is his right to snub the bill collector. Poor fellow 1 he is perpetually trying to catch sight of the man who has just gone round tho corner, who will be bock in five minutes, so tho clerk says, but who never comes,back until tho old bill collector has gone. It is on record that by some strange fatuity of fortune a collector onco found his debtor at home. Such a circumstance nearly took liis breath away, for, like tho Wandering Jew, he had been flying from pillar to post for nearly a year, and. had never once found the right man in tho right place; but ho took out his battered wallet and presented tho account, yellow with age, andhumbly asked for a settlement. "You must call again," was the stern, imperative demand of tho man, who never intended to havo money enough to pay that bill, Tho victim with the threadbare clothes _ and tho worn-out shoes suggested that it was not easy fo go up three flights of stairs tliree times a day in order to find tho ominous word "out" on the office door: "Well," Said the haughty debtor, " perhaps you would liko to have me rent a room on the first floor for the sake of my creditors." Tlie old bill collector uttered a deep sigh, put his wallet back into his pocket, and walked into a Jxick alley where hirfhomo was, while tho jaunty debtor sprang into his landau and went up to the park for a drive.
