The Pleasures of Boarding Around"

DR.. Mcclellan, inspector of schools for
Ontario, at recent meeting of the Wei
land Teacher Association, gave his
hearers the following "reminiscences Of
boarding around" as practiced nearly
a generation ago: When he first began
teaching, in lS49, 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 intimated to him that it
was customary for the boarding teacher
to lend his services for the benefi 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 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 its 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 GEN.

: 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 q region of profound darkness,
no ray of light ever entering it except
on arrival OF q spirit from earth. BY
this raw the newly-condemned spirit is
guided to the special seat appointed tor
Rim-or it-and there he remains in i'm
nenetrable shadow until the next conner
brings q fash of light. There is noother
punishment for the doomed. They are,
however, singed on entrance, because
they are then obliged to pass a huge
| demon, who flaps his wings and exhsies
| FIRE continually. Women, it may be
interesting to know, are seldom sent TO
the Marquesau Tophet, owing to the
love (witne1 the customary egotism OF
the male animal even in Polynesia and

be inconsolable without them, even IN
