A Docs REMARKABLE MEMORY
Some time ago a gentleman went to
Florence and took with him noble col
ley named Rover. On arriving at the city
poor Rover lost his master while being
led across the station by porter. No
sooner had he done SO than he adroitly
slipped his collar and went off to search.
He, too, was soon missed. He was
something more than great favorite-
is O valued friend, indeed, and his mas
ter was in dispair, for placards on the
walls stated that dogs found wandering
without collars would be killed. Up and
down the streets Rover's master trudged,
backwards and forwards, in and out of
the station, but nothing could be heard
of the truant. At last, after hours of
search, the gentleman went to an hotel
to dine, the hour for table dhote having
come; and in the hall, quietly laying
down, was Rover. What Rover tried to
say need not be recorded, but his master
asked the landlord how the dog came and
when, and was told that he ran in earlier
in the day, scampered up stairs straight,
and took possession of number A, where
he had been all the time till about an
hour since. His master had been at this
hotel rather more than two years before
(and had been since, it should be remem-
bered. in some hundreds of Others and
he asked the landlord to turn back and
see what room he had then occupied
Surely enough, it was a.. In spite of
all that ha had seen since, and of the
fact that he had only stayed in Florence
a few days, Rover remembered the place
and knew his way to his old quarters.

Miss MULOCK's CAREER.-She was
obliged to write for her daily bread, and,
that she might forget how miserable she
was, she wrote a great deal. Of course,
with all this practice and with her vast
experience in sorrow--for her pen was
one actually dipped in tears-she wrote
better and better, till finally this retiring,
grief-strcken woman awoke to find herself
famous. Her first novel. " The Ogilvies, "
was very successful, and was published in
1910, when Miss Mulock was only twenty
three, but her great masterpiece, John
Halifax, Gentleman" did not appear till
1857. In 1864 pension of sixty pounds
a year was awarded Miss Mulock.
All this fame and unqualified success
doubtless assuaged her grief and helped to
make life endurable; but to one with such
loving heart and such quick sympathies.
bereft of a homo and without a relation,
her life was still very sad and lonely.
But in 1865 Capt. Geo. Lille Craik, IN
officer in the English army, who had been
in the Crimea, met Miss Mulock, and al
though some years her junior addressed
her and succeeded in winning her hand.
They have proved most congenial COM
panions, and their married life has been
all that they could wish. with but one ex-
ception. The woman whose love for chill
dren amounts almost to a passion, and
who wrote :" Philip, my King" has been
denied the happiness of feeling baby fin
gers upon her cheeks or of ever hearing
herself called mother. This is a severe
sorrow, but even this pain has been par
TALLY assuaged. Strangely enough, one
dark, rainy night, while she and her hus-
band were speaking of children and of the
Joy and brightness they bring to so many
dwellings, there came Il loud ring at the
bell and then a furious knocking. On
opening the door, lying upon the sill, they
found basket enclosed in many wrap
pings. When they were removed, they
discovered a lovely little baby only II few
hours old. The child was wrapped in one
roll after another of India muslin, and on
its breast was pinned a note begging Mrs.
Craik to be kind to the little waif thus
brought to her door, and assuring her that
no mean blood flowed in its veins. Ten
derly she lifted the little thing in her lov-
ing arms, and her heart opened as warmly
to take in the poor little deserted creature.
They called the child Dorothea, God
given, and she is now their legally adopt
ed daughter whom no one can take from
them, not even the parents who so cruelty
deserted her. The little girl is most ten
derly attached to the only mother and
father she has ever known. Mrs, Craik's
happy home is in the vicinity of Richmond
Let us hope that she has left her sorrows
all behind her, and that while she lives no
pain or grief shall ever again cross her
peaceful path. Christian Union.

to give it trial; especially as no harm
could possibly come of it; for the child
while pursuing it, is learning the exercise
of reading. No other kind of reading for
two or three weeks, not even that about
" cock-robin." could be more profitable.
AS a new building cannot last long
without having attention paid to it in the
way of repairs, so every good institution
of man needs similar attention.
In the early days of our district schools
they were often visited, we may say su-
perintended, by educated clergymen, un-
der uniform system of religious training,
in which reading the Bible, repeating the
catechism and attendance on family wor-
ship were prevailing elements. Our win
ter schools were usually taught by men
who were able to assert authority, who did
assert it, and who were sustained (not
prosecuted at the law) in its assertion.
All of this is now greatly changed, and a
corresponding change in the inculcaton of
good behavior is rendered necessary.
The population of Vermont is not ma
terially greater than it was thirty or forty
years ago; and now we have a reform
school, while we had none then. Why is
this, unless family government, religious
training and good behavior are deterior-
ating! Are not efforts at prevention
wisely directed? What proportion of our
families now, compared with those Of half
century ago, know what good behavior
is? Would a good treatise op the subject
injure or benefit any household which it
might enter?
The system proposed has been advocated
for many years; and 1t would seem that
in the absence of any other system, the
community ought to give it a careful con-
sideration. 1t has been commended by
the highest educational authorities in the
country, the state of Vermont included.
BY merely shutting the eyes to the matter,
or meeting it with indifference, apathy or
timidity, or leaving it to the enterprise
and intelligence of other states, we effect
nothing worthy of our institutions or our
selves. The providential motive of letting
well alone. operates very ruinously to the
interests of the state if it goes to the extent
of letting bad alone.
After this system had been advocated
before the teachers meetings of the state
for several years,to their general approval,
l believe, it was then, some nine or ten
years ago, laid before the board of educa,
ton, who acted on it in their official Gu.
pacity, and highly commended it. The
question now, amidst the changes thai
have been going on, has at last been
brought to the attention of some two
hundred or more school superintendents
some of whom will approve it, some dis
approve it, and many, doubtless, will
think it safe to let things take theil
course" and do nothing at all in the case
in abandoning the farther pursuit o
the question, as we per force must need
do, we would respectfully beg permission
to leave it to the reflections of the peopl,
of the state.

CURIOUS 1MPosTUREs.-Whe Moore
Carew, thu" king of the beggars," among
his numerous impostures had well
peppered raw beefsteak placed around his
leg to simulute disease, he only used one
of many clever dodges to impose on the
charitable. Fever has been initiated by
swallowing tobacco, the tongue whltened
by chalk and the cheeks heated by rub
bing. The appearance of ulcers is OBJ
tanned by gluing bit of spleen or the
skin OF frog to the parts supposed to be
affected and keeping them moist with
blood and water. They are created by the
use of corrosives, and their healing pre-
vented by the application of irritants. An
obstinate sore limb has before now been
cured by locking it up in a box. Pricking
the gums to show actual splitting of blood,
eating roughly powdered glass to produce
internal hemorrhage, making soap pills
for epileptic frothing at the mouth, feign-
ing insanity, and lying rigid to simulate
catalepsy, are all tricks familiar to prison
officials. Even doctors may sometimes
be deceived by impostors who display so
much ingenuity in the art of deception.
Those who gorge shell fish for the sake of
getting nettle rash, who put lime in their
eyes to inhame them, and even thrust a
needle down to the lens of the eye to get
cataract, furnish few of the forms of
imposition resorted to at times either to
evade punishment or escape military
service.

Good Behavior in Our Schools.
REASONS FOR ADOPTING A SYSTEM OF IN
STRUCTION ON GOOD BEHAVIOR FOR
OUR DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
BY GEN'L j. W. PHELPS.

1st. The law requires it; law to that
effect having been on the statute books for
many years, without receiving proper at
tention.
Cd. There is need of particular atten-
ton being paid to the manners of our
school children in order to aid the laws
against the constant tendency of liberty to
run into license.
Sd. Good behavior is self-government,
which ought to be the first lesson taught
in a selfgoverning country.
4th. The same general system of good
behavior should be taught in all our dis
trict schools alike, both of the village or
town, and country; and the system should
be that which is approved by the usages of
the best society throughout Chrstendom.
5th. Little or nothing should be left to
the discretion of teachers; but everything
should be referred, as far as possible, to
the system adopted, and to the reflections
of the pupil.
9th. The system proposed is to use a
small reader, which shall contain the we'll
established rules of good behavior as OBJ
served at the present day in the polite So
cety of Europe and America. 1t is the
design that the pupil, while learning the
practice Of reading, in his classes at
school, shall read through this reader once
in each term, which will occupy probably
two or three weeks. All in school, includ-
ing the teacher, will thus hear it read, and
will thus gradually and insensibly come to
have their manners toned to the highest
and best standard.
7th. This exercise is designed to be as
constant during the early school days of
each pupil as tho exercises in any other
kind of reading, in writing, in geography,
in arithmetic, or in any other branch of
learning.
9Th. Good behavior is not to be taught
by questions and answers; it is not to be
dinned into the child; nor is the child to
be supposed capable of acquiring a
knowledge of it in few lessons; or in a
few months; or ina year, or two or three
but it is n matter that should be begun
early, and be allowed to grow up with its
growth, naturally, with as little constraint
as possible. 1t should be left to be appro-
priated by the child's intelligence, as the
food which it eats is left to be assimilated
by the digestive organs.
Such is the system proposed; and until
better one is suggested, it would be well

How TO PROTECT CARPETS FROM
WoRMs.-In the course of an interview
with DR.. Hagen, that distinguished scientist
remarked to representative of the Boston
Journal that new carpets should be treated
at the outset US though infested. If they
are well beaten and left in the sun two or
three days, being turned several times,
they will be freed from every vestige of
the pest, although after they are put down,
there should be frequent examinations OF
the edges if the bugs have ever been in
the house. Closely laid floors are in them
selves safeguard, and the filing of any
of the crevces with soft tallow will give
additional security against invasion. The
tallow can be worked in we'll, and then
the floors might be covered with heavy
paper so that the carpets shall not be
creased. The larvae could not possibly
travel where tallow is placed. Insect
powder is useless, and kerosene or benzlne
has vile odor, which makes the remedy
nearly us bad as the disease. In reply to
statement that in the writer's home the
experiment had been tried ofputting strips
of cotton cloth over crevices in the floor,
DR.. Hagen said: THAT is an excellent
idea. The larvae do not eat cotton, and
probably could not work their way through
it. You will find, l think, that you are
very well protected. Still it would be just
as well to give the carpets thorough
outdoor treatment as / have suggested"
