A Beers COurtship.

The following amusing and interesting ac-
count is given Of the way courtship is carried
on in Transyaal: The young man. In search OF
a wife, arrays himself in his gayest attire, and,
taking some appropriate gift, presents himself
at the home of the lady. After the usual salu-
tations, he is seated, when he formally inquiries
after the health OF the family. lie then, in a
short speech, and with the usual embarrass-
ment OF an awkward sutton, presents his gift to
the lady. This gift generally consists OF dress
or some article of apparel. After the presenta-
ton the lady rettreS and the prospective father
tn-law, with characteristic energy, embraces the
opportunity to impress upon the young mans
mind the Importance of certain great political
measures, during which conversation the youth
is completely overwhelmed and subdued. After
proper interval, the young lady appears, at
tired In the dress, as sign of encouragement,
and carrying in her hand a candle, which she
places on the table. While the candle remains
burning no decisive answer can be given.
While the light burns the young man is expect
ed to reveal the secrets of his heart and discuss
his worldly prosperity. The lady, both in en-
couraging and discouraging her suitorS atten-
lions, prepares short or long candle A short
candle signifytng either that she has no time to
listen to the young mans proposals or that she
is eager to accept them; while long candle
implies hesitation, or a desire to listen to his
prospects. When the candle burns out the de-
cision is given, and the anxious youth Is made
either Supremely happy or most miserable.

STEAM HEAT.-A room warmed by an open
fire is peasanter than room warmed by hot
water pipes. A warm body radateS heat to a
colder body near to 1t. The heat rays from a
flame or from 1ncandeScent matter pass through
The air without heating it, they warm the solid
bodies upon which they impinge, and these
warm the air. Where the source Of heat in
room consists of hot water pipes or low pres
sure steam pipes. the air Is first warmed, and
imparts its heat to the walls. The air is thus
warmer than the walls. When room Is warmed
by an open fire, on the other hand, the warm
ing is effected by the radiant heat from
the fire. which passes through the air
without sensibly warming it; the radiant
heat warns the walls and furniture, and
these impart their heat to the air. There
fore the walls in this case are warmer than the
air. Consequently, In two rooms, one warmed
by an open fire and the other by hot water
pipes, and with air at the same temperature in
both rooms, the walls In the room heated by
hot-water pipes would be some degrees colder
than the air In the room, and therefore colder
than the walls OF room heated by an open fire;
and these colder walls would therefore abstract
heat from the occupants by radiation more rap
idly than would be the case In room heated by
an open fire. And to bring the walls in the
room heated with hot-water pipes to the same
temperature as the walls in the room heated by
the open fire would require the air of the room
to be heated to an amount beyond that neces-
Sary for comfort, and, therefore, to a greater
amount than is DISQUALIFICATION.

The Public school Teacher.

More than q mothers love must her love be
Into whose hands the plastic soul is given;
She trains the plant mind on learning's tree
Shaping its growing course from earth to heaven
Kindness must clothe her words in graciousness,
And as queen of justice must she move
Too proud to cringe too noble to Cypress
Each charge thus sharing in her even love.
Room for the teacher in the mothers heart
As she is niched in many q mothers praise
Who, far removed from folly's flashing mart,
Leads the "Grand Army" Of the coming days
Into the fields of clear intelligence;
Noting her vict'ries as the crescive soul
Goes forth in truth for armor and defence:
So doth the future bend to her control!
