chin. lie had a team of three little
horses, disheveled, Withholding, shaggy
as bears. frightfully filthy, with icicles
hanging down underneath them. carving
their heads low and biting at the snow
heaped up in masses on the river. The

den resolve, he entered the lists to try
his luck. The three little unlocked bears
shook their heads proudly, as if they
understood that they were to maintain
the honor of the poor horse of the
steppes, and without being urged they
went off at such pace that everybody
else on the track began to take the
alarm. They went like the wind, with
their slender limbs, and they carried off
the victory from all the others-thor-

Value of Models in the Study of
Geology.

Ihe'use of models as a means of con-
veying geographical instruction has been
too much neglected in our schools. If
anyone considers the difficulty a pupil
has in understanding the drawing of a
steam engine, and the ease with which
he grasps the meaning of the work
ing model, and how from study
ing the model and comparing it with
the drawing he gradually learns
to comprehend the latter, he will see
that model of ground may be used in a
similar manner to teach the reading of a
map OF the same area. Relief maps of
large areas on a small scale have their
uses, but they are unsuitable for educa-
tlOnal purposes on account of the man
ner in which heights must be eXaggerat-
ed TO make them appear at all; this OBJ
lection, hoV does not apply to
models of limited areas on a sufficient
scale, which always give a truthful and
effective representation of the ground.
One reason why models have not been
more used is their cost, but the means of
constructing them with ease, rapidity
and at slight expense are quickly accu-
mulatlng as the siX-inCh contoured sheets
of the Ordnance Survey are published.
Instruction in geography should begin at
lohlc' anu " ouIu suggest llldlr rs lne
slX-lnch survey progresses, each decent
school throughout the country should be
provided with model and map of the
district in which it is situated If this
were done the pupils would soon learn to
read the model, and, having once sue
ceeded in doing this, it would not be
long before they were able to under
stand the conventional manner in which
Typographical features are represented

power of reading not only the map of

The Dangers Of Dabbling.

In accounting for many of the recent
failures in that city New York journal
ascribes them to a tendency to dabble in
variety of businesses when the victim
happens to understand but one 1t cites
the passage in the memoirs of Sir Powell
Buxton, in which the founder of the ia
nous house of the Rothchilds once said
to him: " You are brewer and under
stand brewing; stick to bcer-making
and you'll succeed; dabblc IL a dozen
businesses and you'll fail" 1t is this
habit of dabbling that has done the bust
ness for so many men in this country
Some who understand their trade would
go OFF wildly into stock gambling or real
estate speculation and inevitably fail F.:
whereas, if they had kept close and
quiet and stuck to the calling for which
the experience OF years had qualified
them, they would at least have come
out whole and sound, even if they had
not brought out fortunes with them.
The secret of this fatal dabbling is the
haste to be rich, the prevailing impa-
thence with steady gains and such healthy
enloyments as accompany them
Once plunge in the maelstrom, and the
fortune maker never comes out alive

Drowning a Bear.

to that paper:
I'm the winter of 1860 | bought nv

my house and clearing up the place
heard some wonderful bear stories from
those in my employ, two of whom
claimed to be experts. Having excited
my ambition, was DESTROYS to meet A
bear, and did not have long to wait. for
seeing something black swimming in the
river inquired of one of my men what
1t was, and he replied it was bear swim

4 LONG time ago children were taught
that dew falls just as rain descends from
the clouds. If dew fell il would fall for
the same reason that rain falls; but dew
does not fall-it is simply deposit Of
moisture always contained in the air TO a
greater or lesser degree and which when
there is enough of it will always form
on any cold body exposed to the moist
air in precisely the same way that a cold
bottle or stone taken from a cold cellar
and suddenly exposed, in the shade, TO
the moist, warm summer air will become
wet. This is not sweating, nor does this
moisture come out of the bottle or stone,
as many people believe, but from the
air. When person breathes on the win
dow glass his breath is condensed on the
cold glass just as dew is formed on
plants. Let one breathe on warm glass
and his breath will not be condensed-N.
