THE ELECTION OF A SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE or

The election Of Speaker of the House OF

common occurrence. The last event Of similar kind
was 1885, Lord Eversley, who succeeded Lord Dun
feminine, was installed In Office, not only In tho
middle OF a Parliament, but in the middle OF a
session. It was in the days OF Lord Melbourne's
decaying power when political passions were hot ana

rally strong had been exasperated by the circum-
stances under which office had just before been snatchd
from their hands they atout to taste its sweets

determinations OF the two DAYS that followed before DO

interval received the royal commands 10 form an az
minstraton when there ensued that most grave const-
tut0nal struggle known in history the affair OF tho

their lords and the other hand Republican could

that the Bedc hamber Women must go. The Queen wa3

turn TO office, put up Mr.. Goulhurn In opposition

Several weeks ago il understood that Mr.. Brand

POETRY Of DISH WASHING.

q lesson in dish washing of my
laudlady. / have lived at places
which could by no means be re.
commended In this respect. The
dishes there appeared to have been
washed in thin muscilage, and
dried on soiied stove cloth. I
saw a table full of dishes gathered
up in the dining room one day.
and washed there, as the kitchen
was undergoing repairs. They
were snatched up and thrown,
pell NELL, into a dish pan full of
water, bits of vegetables. butter,
egg and gravy all adhering to
them. 1t would need nine waters
to make such dishes decent to
come to the table again. l did
not stay in that place any longer
than ] could help.
/ Amaryllis' mother managed
very differently. The silver is all
gathered up first in q basin, and
Amaryllis herself washes it in
warm soap suds, and wipes it very
dry on q soft towel, then lays It
orderly in the silver basket, the
forks and spoons each in their sew
eral compartments. The glass
ware is also taken out and washed
By itself in clean water with q very
little soap in it, then wiped With a
napkin tree from all lint. But the
dishes ale what l wished especial.
~ to speak of Snch orderly piles
of cups and saucers, and all set
away snugly on the kitchen table.
Each plate is scraped with an old,
thin, flexible knife. that readily
adapts itself to curved surfaces.
Not crumb or scrap is left on
any one of them. You would
never gather enough grease for q
pound of soap from Mrs. Den
hams dish pans, if you saved it
ten years. Then the warm water
is poured over the cups and sau.
GERS, and they are thoroughly
washed and turned into q second
pan of hot water to rinse before
being wiped.
All this labor is done with the
dispatch that always accompanies
systematic work. Aud, oh, what
comfort it brings to the table;
what q joy it is to handle such
shining white dishes. There is q
real poetry in washing dishes in
this stylt, and in eating from them
a forwards. A smutty, sticky
saucer, a glass with greasy finger
marks, spoon with dark stained
howl; oh, what an abomination
in domestic life. Learn the poet
ry Of dish-washing early, girls,
and never let any French nonsense
chase it out of your memory

ORDER m SCHOOL.

No one topic is more frequently
discussed in school journals, and
at teachers associations, than that
or school government. There has
not, however, been any new thing
said, or result, reached within our
memory. Why there is so much
said about it is due to the fact
that there is so much, need of I'M
proyement, but thus far there has
been q vast deal OF cropping in the
dark. That teachers are not now
secured with an eye to their abiI-
ity to overswe, and, should coca
sion arise, master by mere animal
courage and physical force the
large boys Of the school, is not
due to these many discussions of
teachers upon school government,
but they are tho result of the
increase of general intelligence
among the masses, which iuteiIi-
gence has been largely produced
by the schools. The only effect Of
all discussions upon the subject
seems only to have rendered the
solution of the problem more diff
ficuit; because, instead of eliIni-
mating from il unnecessary factors,
and thus reducing the number of
elements to be considered, it has
tended to add blackness to dark
ness; it has rendered a very sim
pie problem very complex. Many
teachers would make excellent
heads Of schools, for children as
they oaoht to be, but are failures
when they try to control children
as they are.
We're children expected to con-
duct themselves in society and in
their homes the whole difficulty
would be removed.
When boys learn that conduct
which annoys another ia q mark
OF the ill bred rather than of the
wel-bred, when girls are taught
that the loud, boisterous laugh is
the mark OF the course and shame
less pride win in uinety-nine cases
out of every one hundred be the
only: element of control needed.
Let the pupil feel that the school
room is sacred to purposes of
study and he is already governed.
Sucl, exceptions as win be found.
due to bad home training, or un.
favorable associssions, are VERY
easily managed by any one fit to
be entrusted with the education OF
the young. We confess to havfne

wISTERISG VEGETABLES.


1t is one thing to raise q good
crop of vegetables, but another to
keep them safely through the win
ter. 1t is, doubtless, the fact that
more vegetables are injured in
winter by heat than by cold, be-
cause most persons. crowd such
things together in large quantities
and then cover deeply to keep out
frost. When placed in cellars, the
windows are closed, and in the
most Northern States, banked mn
with, perhaps fresh horse manure
from the stable. OF course it is
necessary TO keep potatoes, tur.
nips, beets and similar roots from
freezing; still they would be of
tar better quality If kept as cold
as possible and not actually frozen.
Turnips and beets, in particular,
are very liable 10 heat, and become
spoiled If a large quantity is piac-
ed together; and potatoes are OF

bins, instead Of being put in bar.

RELIGION VERSUS SCIENCE.

Science has for years been slow.
~ but surely sncroaching upon
the domain of religion. The con.
tests already completed have been
many and well fought. In NO case,
however, has science been worsted.
The result of careful experiment
and persistent Investigation has
in every case overwhelmed with
defeat every defender of the
strongholds of religious belief,
while many of the strongest of
these strongholds, those most an
cient and held in greatest rever-
ence have themselves been torn
down.
The assertion that the earth and
her sister planets revolves around
the sun was pronounced a damna-
BILE heresy-the demonstrations OF
the fact has compelled belief. That
the earth is older than the few
thousand years as computed from.
biblical records was declared to be
the work of the co-laborers of
Satan-the geoIogist proves the
tact-religion acquiesces. Oar.
wins Development was hooted at
by every divine of whatever grade
or denomination-to-day no intel
ligent thinkers but admit the YER
lty OF the main principles of the
celebrated authors arguments,
although they may deny his con-
clusions. We might cite many
other examples, all tending to
show the same result.
Since these are facts it seems to
as that it is high time for the ad.
vocates Of religious tenets to as.
sumo a position more in accord
with that of their opponents, and
like them be willing to submit |
every one of their articles of be- |
lief to the crucial test of expert
msut. If, as christians, we are
placing our trust in dogmas rather |
han in principles emanating from
The eternal Godhead, we ought to
know it. The attack of DR.. Nc

'ause he had ''the audacity." to
