EYES," said the comforter, in q muftled
voice-he chad overheard the memorandum.
book as he was passing-"ycs, and she made
me all damp, dropping tears on me-"
"Well," continued the memorandum book,
I thought it was all over for Johnny, and
Little felt awfully about it. Her fingers
frightened around me, and her breast hcaved,
as she sat on her stool, eagerly looking
from one to another. But suddenly she
rushed forward with both arms outspread,
and stood in the middle of the room, say
ing to them all, with sobs and tears: Please,
oh! please! can't we love him when he is
naughty"
What more the memorandum book might
have related We shall never know; for at this
moment the proceedings came to violent
end, by reason of tremendous outbreak OF
crying from the young gentleman in the rug,
who had heard more than he could bear.
How wicked he had been to quarrel with
everybody, and how foolish to doubt their
affection, and how mean-oh, how meant
to think Of revenge! and how should he ever
love darling Chicken Little enough? l as
sure you these thoughts were in his mind,
though what he said was little more than
Boo-hoo!"
l suppose the noise he made drove all
things back to their places in the dark; for
when his mother came down stairs in fright
to see what was the matter, and lit the gas,
there was no sign of the recent confusion,
and the next morning Johnny could not even
remember that she had found him in the par
lor crying and soothed him and got him back
to bed. When the presents were distributed
and ne received the skates and the comforter
and the slippers and the jack-knife and the
memorandum book, it did seem somehow to
him as if he had known them before; but he
was all in the dark about it; and the only
explanation he could get was from a remark
of his mothers that her boy had been walk
ing last night in his sleep. But his dream,
if it was a dream, came very near the truth;
and either that or something else in his heart
made him say to everybody how ashamed and
sorry he was for his behavior last night.
And this brings me to my final head
namely, Consequences and application. The
consequences were a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year, and the application is-up-
on my word, don't think there is any appli-
catiOn-do you!-Chr;stian Union.

Teaching Hints.

Teaching school and keeping school
are two widely different affairs.
A popular teacher is not always good
teacher, nor an unpopular teacher poor
one.
Whipping is the fruitful parent of
most school disorders.
Ventilation tends to secure pure blood,
sound body, active brain and good les
sons.
School fires should be built a little
previous to q quarter to nine o'clock.
If teachers arrive at school later than
pupils it seems as though the pupils
were the most interested.
School-hOuses were not built for play
houses-notice recesses and mornings.
Teachers should try to associate with
the people among whom they teach.
Remember that reading, spelling, writ
ing and ciphering are the topics we shall
use most and consequently ought
to know best.
Order is said to be Heavens first law,
but it would seem to be the last law of
some teachers.
Schools may be spoiled by too much
kindness as well as by too much vigor.
Teachers should prepare each lesson as
regularly as pupils should.
Six hours work per day is the school
day of lazy teachers only.
Why do many pupils ego through"
textbooks many times and then not know
their contents?
A wcll-recitcd lesson is not always a
well-known lesson.
The moral nature of pupils is as worthy
of cultivation as the intellectual.
Industrious, orderly, civil teachers
usually find the same qualities in their
pupils, for Gas the teacher, SO is the
pupil"
every branch of study.
Some teachers expect their pupils to
progress, but makci no effort to progress
themselves.
A reading exercise is something more
than prOnouncing exercise, pause ex-
quires as much study as any other school
task.
Lazy pupils always like concert recita-
tions-they call them splendid.
Teachers who use the textbook at
every recitation really say by actions
that they do not know the lesson they
are hearing.
Never fail to inspect all written work
unless you wish the next poorly done.
Our best teachers are the best subscrib-
ers to educational works-poor teachers
don't need them.
The art of questioning properly is
known to few teachers and practiced by
fewer.
A tidy school room is an honor to the
teacher.
"Study your lessons .foe times" general
ly secures it's study one-fifth of time.
Many educational ladders have the
lower rounds missing.
Not "how much" but show we'll" is
the motto of \ good teacher and the
foundation of good scholarship.
If teachers could "see ourselves as
others see us" fewer bad habits would
be copied by pupils.-Baradoo WIS., Re

intoxicating.

AT social gathering in Springfield,
Thanksgiving night, where there were
about forty persons present, the topic of
mind-reading was introduced and prac-
tical tests were made, which, to say the
least, were singular in their results.
Most of those present secuted the idea
that any influence by the will could be
exerted to control the actions of another
But those who submitted to the test were
forced to admit that either will or Gin
voluntary muscular action" did exert o
powerful influence in guiding them. The
subject being blindfolded, the others
would select some familiar object and
place it in a distant part of the room,
sometimes in sight, but at other times
out of sight of the operators. Then
three, four, or five would place their
hands on the back, shoulders and breast
OF the subject, fixing their minds on the
thing to be found. In a few minutes the
person blindfolded would begin to move,
sometimes sideways, sometimes back.
ward, and sometimes forward, but always
in the direction of the hidden article and
always where it was placed. The test was
tried on dozen different persons, with
different operators on each, taken indis-
criminately from the company, and. with
the exception of one instance, with the
same result. Each subject described the
feeling as simply desire to move off in
the direction taken, impelied by sense
or feeling that some influence was crowd.
ing them that way, while all the opera
tors declared they were unconscious of
exerting any muscular force whatever.
AS the subject would often move oil in a
direction that would necessita!c two OF
the operators to walk backward, while
only one would be on the opposite side,
there would seem to be something be-
sides involuntary muscular action" to
bc accounted for. Most of the company,
however, were unconvinccd of any other
power. At all events, they got two or
three hours of very enjoyable and inter.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

"A seller of goods, chattels or other
property commits no fraud in law when
he neglects to tell the purchaser of any
flaws, defects or unsOundness in the
same.
"A large amount of sickness is caused
by heating low, small rooms too hot in
winter, with poor ventilation. yrhermom-
eters are cheap, and any farmer can have
one, and then strictly regulate the tenn.
perature of rooms. In this way valuable
lives and large doctors bills can be saved
and weary days and nights of suffering
avoided.
1t is not only in summer that cattle
need salt. Cattle, horses and hogs thrive
better in winter and summer when they
have free access to salt. Be careful, how
ever, in not giving too much to such ami
mails as have had none for long time.
Eating too much salt creates fever and
acts as poison on the stomach.-Io,ca
State Register.
"A farmer of our acquaintance made
an experiment. He took sheep that
weighed about 100 pounds, put it in 3
pen, and after it had become wonted
weighed all its food, and found that
three pounds per day of fodder
and grain was all he could make the
sheep cat. The farmer had verified a
rule we'll known to the much despised
book-farmcrs," and arrived ut by many
and careful experiments, that about three
pounds of good food per day for each
hundred-weight of live stock is fatten-
ing allowance. For illustration, sheep
weighing 100 pounds requires three
pounds of food per day, and steer
weighing 1000 needs thirty pounds.
These rules are approximately correct,
being varied somewhat by quality of
food and stock. The farmer knowing
the weight of his feed and that of his
stock, by applying these rules, can guess
closely as to whether he has food enough
for his stock.-Roehsster Democrat.
OF late years the race of winter
blooming carnations has proved one of
the most popular of all flowers, and are
becoming almost as numerous as the old
time prize carnation. As window flow
ers, however, they are only a success
when they have an abundance of light.
Many plants will do we'll in partial
shade; but the carnation must have the
full sun to do well. Many find much
difficulty also in the watering of carna-
tions in pots. They do not need as much
water as many other things. Indeed few
things suffer SO much from over water
ing as these do. How much they
ought to have cannot be well stated,
though it is a question often asked.
Watering depends on light and the
temperature of the room. Carnations
do not like much heat. If they are in q
room of temperature to suit them they
would not need to have water more than
twice week. The more light there is
the faster they dry. The best guide in
watering is ones own experience. Water
is very heavy. A pot that needs water
is comparatively light; when wet it is
heavy. One who handles pots much
soon finds out these things.-Agrteul-
! turtst.
