ShaflS.

Little Mary wanted to have some
thing tied up one day, but the sting
got "all in a snarl" for her. She
pulled at the tangled places, bui the
more she tugged the tighter ther be-
came. Atlast she gave it to me to'6x.''
Gently picking at the knots, lsoon
loosened them, and the string came
out Of its tangle nicely.
Little folks get into snarls lome-
times. Somebody does not do lome-
thing just as they wish. or things go
a little wrong about work orplay
Now, at such times it will not do to
pull and tug andjerk and scoldor cal
hard names. Impatience only makes
the matter worse. Be gentle. speak
softly, keep your temper, andsuch
snaris will be apt to straigS out

Her person-well, twas simply perfect.
Matching the graces of her mind;
To perfect face and form she added
A keen perception, taste refined;
But when I challenged her to tell me,

Whether her wit or beauty charmed me,
She only murmured, Both"

The Liberty Cap.

THE Liberty Cap takes its origin
from the ancient Phrygian cap. which
may be seen in all the representations
of the Trojans in Flexman's illustrations
to Homer. In ancient Greece and
Rome slaves were not allowed To have
the head covered, and part Of the cere-
mony of freeing a slave was placing this
cap on his head. which thus became the
symbol Of liberty and wa so regarded
during the Roman Republic. A cap ON
a pole was used by Saturninus a. a
token of liberty Ia all slaves who might
join him, and Marius raised the same
symbol To induce the slaves 10 take
arms with him against Scylla. After
the death of Caesar the con~spiratOrs
marched out in a body with a cap borne
before them on a spear. and IL is said
that a medal struck on the occasion aud
bearing this device is still in existence.
In DIR. Zinkeisen's History of the
Jacobin Club" we are told that the
Liberty Cap" or ''Bonnet Rouge was
introduced by the Girondists and that il
owed its favorable reception principally
to an article by Brissot, which appeared
in the Pdtriotc FrdncdiS and in which
he declared that the .'mournful uniform
Of hats had been introduced ''by
priests and despots' and proved from
history that ''all great natiOns-the
Greeks. the Romans and Gauls-had
held the cap in peculiar honor" II
is also said that the Bonnet Rouge
was habitually worn by the galley
slaves and was adopted rs the symbol
of freedom after the release Of the
Swiss regiments of Chateau Vieux. and
it is very likely that this circumstance
gave the first impulse to the fashion.
but it soon became identified with the
Liberty Cap" of antiquity.-E y.

Effects Of '~SCrammipg" Pupils.

Mr. ELIOT, the School Superintend-
emit of Boston, complains in his last re-
port of the bad effects of the ''cram-
ming" of pupils, Of which Prof. Huxley
once said that it made conceited Young
people and foolish old ones. A less
patent but hardly less grievous mis-
take which is commonly made in our
public schools is the thoughtless way
in which young girls are directed to
''speak up" during recitation, whereby
it comes to pass that their vocal or
gans are strained and their voices made
high and shrill instead of sweet and
low as the wind of the Western1 sea
when ~northeasters are not on the ram
page. Everybody has noticed the prev
alence of q disagreeable shrillness in
the voices of American women, and
though the Psychologists attribute the
mate. it is undoubtedly aggravated by
the unnatural tension of the vocal or
gans of children at school. Attention
has Of late been called to the alarming
prevalence of hortsightednessi in Germa-
ny, and oculists who have reported upon
it say that it is caused by the straining
OF the eyes of young children and
youths in study. To remedy the defect
they have proposed not only the short
ening and division of study hours, but
the taking of special pains to secure a
proper disposition of pupils in refer
ence to the direction from which light
falls upon their books. Myopia is not
the peculiar danger of American chill
dren as it is with the Germans; it is the
quality of the larynx, aud not of the
eye, that is most imperiled. and in
building our schools are should be
taken that their acoustic arrangement
shall be such as to require the least
possible elevation Of the pupils voices.
