great gusto in the studios. Whether il

The Pleasures Of ''Boarding Around"

The Pleasures Of ''Boarding Around"
DR.. Mcclellan, inspector of schools for
Ontario, at recent meeting of the We'll
land Teachers Association, gave his
hearers the following Renaissance of
boarding around" as practiced nearly
generation ago: When he first began
teaching, in 1849, his salary was about
$3.50 a year, and he didn't even get all
that to this day, besides boarding
around" He related his experience at
the latter to the great amusement of the
audience. Upon arriving at his first
boarding place, after school one day, the
old lady gently minated to him that it
was customary for the boarding teacher
to lend his services for the benefit of the
household, and informed him that just
then the old man and the boys were out
in the barn killing swine, and would no
doubt be pleased to have his assistance.
This the embryo doctor, on principle,
declined to give. Rather dissatisfied at
this, the thrifty matron drew his atten-
ton to a churnful of milk requiring
motive power at the dasher, only again
to meet with the doctors dissent on
principle. laughter Well, then, if
he wouldn't help provide the winters
pork for the family, nor evolve the
golden butter from it's creamy bed,
would he "hold the baby while Sal
churned?" Laughter This he could
undertake without sacrifice of principle,
and forthwith did, but before the lapse
OF ten minutes the uppermost feeling in
his mind was regret that he had not
helped the old man and boys in the
barn, exercised on the churn dasher, or
undertaken any other Job in the house
hold economy, rather than that of re-
lieving Sally of the baby. He had pre-
vieusly passed very fair examinations
in Physiology, anatomy and the me-
chanical sciences, but never until then
did he learn that baby had no bones
in its body, and for the life of him he
was unable to discover the infants CEN

and the family discomfort generally

Hades Where Darkness Reirns.

Hades Where Darkness Reigns.
The natives of the Marquesas islands,
according to an American who has lived
among them for years and studied their
character, customs and creed, picture
hell as a region of profound darkness,
no ray of ig int ever entering it except
on arrival of spirit from earth. By
this ray the newly-condemned spirit is
guided to the special seat appointed for
him-or it-and there he remains in i'm
penetrable shadow until the next conner
brings fash of light. There is no other
punishment for the doomed. They are,
however, singed on entrance, because
they are then obliged to pass huge
demon, who flaps his wings and exhales
fire continually. Women, it may be
interesting to know, are seldom sent to
the Marquesau Tophet, owing to the
love (witness the customary egotism of
the male animal even in Polynesia and
devotion they bear the native chiefs and
priests, who (there is gallantry) would
be inconsolable without them, even. III

to the highest circles Of the good place,

have loved and been loved most intense
" in this world, and whose greatest bliss
will come from the visits Of the spirits

AID therefore they took to themselves the
weapons Of war and went forth cono,.er-

and yet Mr. Ruse thinks it far too small
ana wishes to make it still larger. and a
nation OF people caliedGrea. Britain thinks
Ills Russa's) domain quite large enough,
and says ne shall not have any more.
Now Mr.. Britain llas got quite as large
farm as Mr. Ruse. and he got it in the
same way that Mr.. Ruse obtained his farm,
and Mr.. Britain is jealous of MIR. Ruse,

and it can be exported and the money
brought back in its place. We can
also raise an excellent quality of fruit
here if we cultivate our trees and
vines as we should. When trees
and vines are first planted and they
are yet small, we work the ground a.
round them and keep i: loose. but
when the trees and vines become lar.
ger, we neglect them and the ground
becomes hard and baked and the wa.
ter cannot penetrate it, and the roots
are pinched and cannot obtain the suc-
cor they could if the soil was kept
loose and mellow, and the conse.
quence is, they do not produce
well. Keep the ground moist

vines and your fruit will be enough
better to pay you and command a
