HOW TO CARVE.

Carving is a very desirable accom-
plishment for both ladies and gentle
men, and should be taught. One can
not learn it by tuition, but by practice,
iOinted by a small slice Of theory. 1t
is true that the French style Of serv-
ing the meat sliced is fast banishing
the necessity Of carving at the table
Of the rich; but in middle life where
such elegancies are not praetieed, a
knowledge Of carving should be part
Of boys or girls education. How
often do we hear persons say "Oh,
excuse me, ] can't carve; 1 never
tried" Or, if it be attempted, one
soon finds himself embarrassed. he
grasps the knife and fork desperately.
He has learned that a slice of the
breast Of a turkey is a dainty; that
the wing is good the second joint
also; that the leg is not so good. But
it is not an easy task to separate them;
and he thinks he would rather chop
wood than cut turkey. He does not
know that on the back lies delicious
mOrsel called the oyster, and the side
bones below the second joint are con-
sidered tidbits. This must be taught
him. Ladies ought especially to make
carving q study; at their own home
tn etask often devOlves upon them and
they should be able to perform it with
ease, and not be forced to accept the
aid of visitors, who would probably
dread the operation. The platter
should be placed so near the carver
that he has full control over it; if far
off nothing can prevent an ungraceful
appearance. A sharp knife is requi-
site, and q thin and WeIl-tempered
blade. In carving turkey, cut or the
wing nearest to you first, then the leg
and second joint; then slice the
breast until a rounded, ivOry-shaped
piece appears; insert the knife be-
tween that and the bone and separate
them this part is the incest bit Of the
breast: next comes the 'merry
thought" After this, turn over the
bird a little, and Just below the breast
YOU will fnd the oyster, which you
separate as you did the inner breast.
This side bone lies beside the rump,
and the desired mOrsel can be taken
without separating the bone Pro-
ceed the same way with the other side.
The fork need not be removed during
the whole process. An experienced
carver will dissect q fowl as easy as
you can break an egg or cut potato.
He retains his seat, manages his hands
and elbows artIstically, and is perfect
ly at ease. There is no difficulty in
the matter; it only requires knOwl-
ed Se and practice, and these should be
taught in the family, each child TAX
ing his or her turn. Chickens and
partridges are carved in the same
manner.

SQUIRRELS.


During the past month numbers OF
red squirrels have taken up their
abode among the fine trees that shade
some Of the streets in Warren. The
boys, with cOmmendable prudence,
refrain from molesting or in any way
frightening these CHEEKY little forest
visitors.
So says the Warren Chronicle. We
honor the boys for their humanity
and taste. There are few Of natures
beauties that we borrow from the
forest more pleasing than these red
SQUIRRELS, and perhaps none more use-
ful, unless it be the birds, in Kidding
our shade trees Of grubs and worms,
Besides this they are ornamental, and
always amusing. This kind OF squir-
rel is so small as not to do much harm
il it wants to; and what mischief he
does is generally 50 ouHningly done
that we forgive linn for his eraftiness.
And then what stores he viii lay up
for winter, and how, like a thinking
person, he IabOrs to have a fall sup
ply. If you are friendly with him he
will soon make his headquarters in
the woOdhOuse or over the kitchen,
and stay with you. We have made it
4 point to encourage these fellows and
their friends, the ChipmOnks and hy-
ing squirrels; and they soon become
tame enough to be q source Of pieas-
ure that far exceeds any frOm the use
of gun.-AsbtdbUld Sentinel. ..-F

~ There are no data In my possession
from which to draw comparison with
former years. But it Is presumed that
the per cent. OF absence this year Is
greater than heretofore. Two prinei-
pal reasons may be assigned for this.
The first, the prevalence during the
entire year, OF sickness among the
children. The second, the passage Of
q law during the past winter, prohibi-
ting temporary suspension for uneX-
eused absence. The effect Of the lat
ter measure has been noticeable during
the Spring Term, only; but the
promptness with which pupils aYailed
themselves Of the provisions Of the
law, evinces the inherent love Of
liberty which characteriZes the youth
of this generation It is earnestly
hoped that future Legislatures viii
not repeat the amazing stupidity Of
"tinkering the school laws" upon
consultation only with those who are
equally ignorant of school wants and
school polity.
About the middle Of the fall term,
the "mumps'1 broke out in the pri-
mary and secondary grades, and pre-
vailed to such an extent that nearly
every member OF the school was COM
PEELED to be absent for number Of
days. This was followed by 'wh0op-
ing eough,n and later by the scarlet
fever.n The last disease broke up the
North School for about three weeks
of the spring term
But while these causes account for
portion Of the IA per cent. Of absence
computed upon the average enroll
ment, it does not account for the ad-
ditiOnaI difference Of . per cent COM
puted upon the total enrolment. The
following summary will throw some
light upOu this difference:

The latest piece Of athletic fOllywas
exhibited few days since, in New
York by one Frank JaeObus, who
elimed up to the top Of Trinity Church
steeple. This steeple is the tallest in
the country, being two hundred and
eighty-fve feet high. It is Of brown
stone, hexagOnal in shape, with kleets
five feet apart, along each angle eX-
tending to a hemispherical crown
moulding about six feet In diameter.
Above this moulding is another of
similar shape, but smaller; and above
this is q brass cross, six feet high.
Visitors may go up inside the steeple
to a height of two hundred and fifty
feet. Between the kleets are slightly
projecting moulding. JacObu5 was
seen to come out Of one Of the win
dows and begin the difficult ascent,
which he soon accomplished, and then
standing on the horizontal bar Of the
cross, he saluted the multitude below.
BE went through various gymnastics
in the approved style of a performer
on the horizontal bar, and created an
intense excitement by his dangerous
maneuvres at that perilOus height.
He finally ended his unnecessary an
tics and descended to terra JiI'Dld, hav-
ing done no good to himself or any
one else BY his feat. 1t is noticed as
evidence Of the great physical eXer-
tiOn necessarily involved, that his
pulse, fifteen minutes afterward, ran
at one hundred and sixty.

In the Primary Schools admissions
were constantly made, Of pupils arri-
wing at school age, after the school
year began. Some were admitted du-
ring the last two weeks Of the year
About One-balf Of the . per cent. can
be accounted for in this way in these
schools alone. In the remaining schools
the attendance during the winter
months was largely in excess Of the
attendance during any other portion
of the year, and the Withdrawals con-
sist principally Of those pupils who
attend school only during the winter
season. In nearly every case, "busi-
nessn or sickness has been the Occa-
sion Of the withdrawal.
It has been shown that theper cent
of attendance upon the average num-
Der belonging has been small. 1t has
also varied with localities The fol-
lowing summary shows the per cent.
of attendance, the per cent. ofabsenee
and the average age Of pupils in the
five sub-districts:

Ten wears are thus required to
be spent in preparation for the High
School. Entering school at the age
OF six years, the average boy or girl
will be prepared, at the age OF six
teen, to commence the study Of the
higher branches Of learning. This Is
according to the theOry-accOrding 70
the fact, pupils enter the High School
at an average age Of fourteen. They
must. therefore, pass through some Of
the classes without having completed
the work required Of that class, and
reach the High School at last with
fragmentary instructions upon some
or an of the branches Experience
shows that this preparation can be
better made in eight years than in
ten. A "long cOursen induces habits
Of earelessness, OF indifference, and OF

The highest per cent OF attendance
is found in the High st. Primary the
lowest in the Liberty st. Secondary.
How much Of the absence in the latter
case Is due to the character and cir
cumstances Of parents; how much to
bad habits Of attendance acquired
through the repulsiyeness Of the old
school houses, and how much to other
causes that need not here be mention
ed, is left to conjecture. Certain it is
that reform in this direction Is de-
manded. With the appliances now
at the command Of the school, this
great irregIIlarity may be overcome.
