Todo padre que conozca bien la in

Sin medios coercitRos no Sc pueder

gobernables los ninos a quienes sus
padres dan alas, como vulgarmente
sc dice.
Para terminar, diremos algo de los
examenes pdblicos. No ignoramos
la importancia que tienen ellos son
por 10 regular ell Instruments con
que Sc mide la capacidad y laborio'
sidad de los nuestros. Mas asl CO.
mo la fisica tiene varios medios de
comprobacion de los fen6menos, asl
tambien ell examen puede a veces
engaiiar 81 a el no Sc agregan otros
antecedentes que le refuercen 8 lie
modi6quen.
Puede dar la casualidad de que
un alumno mediano que tenga pre-
sencia de amino quede mejor en- un
examen que uno aventajado que Sc
perturbe. Lo general es que los nj
nos Sc desconcierten en- presencia de
un tribunal compuesto de personas
extralias que con su presencia les i'm
poren. Tambien puede haber exa-
menes habilmente preparados en- los
cuales un professor .malo quede me-
ior que uno bueno. En todo puede
entrar la farsa, y tengase presente
que a nadie aludimos.
No negamos con TODD que el exa-
men sea el medic mas adecuado pa
ra averiguar ell adelanto & atraso de
una escuela. Pero, ademas de este
acto, convene, en- poblaciones don
de hay varios establecimientos de
ensenanza, fijarse bien en- cual de
ellos es aqueI cuya escuela concu-
rren mas pudientes y ell que tenga
mas y de familias mas ilustradas, ese
suele ser ell mejor, porque nadie CO.
mo ell padre que paga sabe, porque
ha debido tomar informes, cual es ell
maestro que meJor trabaja. Algu-
nos padres de familia pueden equi-
vocarse, pero la mayorla buen cui-
dado habra tenido de imponerse bien
con otros mejor informados sobre la
conducta y aptitud de aquel a quien
los mas confian la educacion de sus
hJos.
Otro dato que antes de fallar solo
por ell resultado de un examen deben
tener a la vista las .untas, es la his
toria de cada alumno que Sc haga
notar por su adelanto 8 por su atra-
so. Hay, por elemplo, disc1pulos
aventajados que han estudiado en- es-
cuela distinta a aquella en- que Sc
examinan los hay atrasados que no
han asistido cincuenta veces en- un
ano, y en- estos dos casos concretos
nj es m6rito del professor 10 mucho
que sepa el primero, nj es justo ha-
cerle responsible de la torpeza de
aquel que no ha asistido puutual-
mente a las classes.

Birds of Paradise.

The birds of paradise unite all the
modes of ornamentatitn in the highest
degree, with the most harmonious re-
suits. They join the graceful plumes
of the ostrich to the dainty coloring of
the sun bird. Crests almost as largely
developed as that of the umbrella bird
overshadow their beautiful heads; frills
as full as those of the humming birds
fall down in metallic splendor before
their gorgeous necks And if any proofs
be wanting of the connection between
the nature of the food and the beauti-
full plumage, it may be found in the fact
that these royally.attired creatures are
first cousins of our own dingy crows
and jackdaws; but, while the crow seeks
his livelihood among the insects and
carrion of an English plowed field, the
bird of paradise regales his lordly pal
ate on the crimson and purple fruits
which CLEAN out amid the empowering
foliage of the Malayan forestc.-THe

JOY That Kills.

A telegram clerks wife had for some
time been in poor health. She went By
advice of physician to spend the summer
in farmhouse in Normandy, where
boarders were taken. She wrote to her
husband almost daily, and gave tavora-
bic bulletins of her health. Recently he
received a letter bearing the post-mark
of the village where she was staying. II
was written by neighbor. 1t announced
the wife's death. The poor husband
swooned away, fell into an arm chair and
was completely stunned by the blow.
This stuperfaction lasted three or four
hours. He was aroused from it by the
door-bell. He opened the door. HIS
wife, the very picture of health, stood
before him. His surprise and Joy were
too sudden--too great. He muttered
incoherent phrases, hyster1cally laughed
and sobbed alternately. He was insane

town became, for solne trivial reason,
incensed against very estimable and
harmless citizen, who had the misfort-

wrath in no measured terms. He was
reasoned with for such an uncalled. for
outbreak of epithets, and closely ques-
toned as to the good qualities of the
man he was abusing, all of which he
was compelled reluctantly to admit. At
last, fairly cornered, and out of all
patience, he wound up with: swell,

mistake the other night. A note was
laid at his plate, which said: Miss

Totle Sta ..l"ra Soap Co -Gentjcmen:
1t affords me pleasure to say to
the public that I have used and pre-
scribed your PHOSPHATE SOAP
as u remedy in various forms of
cutaneous diseases with the han
piest results. am of tho opinion
mat it is the mildest and most per
-ect detergent that can be used,
either for cleansing the skin and
.eavlng it soft and healthy, or for
'emoving the fetor and corrodine

opinion of its remedial qualities.

Standard Soap Co.-Gentlemes,
The ladies of my household, four
in number, unite with me in pro-
nouncing your PHOSPHATK
SOAP the best ever tried for toilet
use. It is noticeable that while it
readily removes impurities from
the skin, it also leaves undisturbed
the natural oil so essential to the
health. It is not too strong Ian
guage to say that we are delighted
with it.

I have tried your PHOSPHATE
SOAP, and have no hesitation in
saying that it is the best toilet

it and is of the same opinion. I
