Putting John In.

The trial of an artist who undertakes
to paint picture I" to order" are many
and vexatious. 1t is related of we'll
known portrait painter that he received
an order to paint a "family group"
The family was large and the happy head
of it wanted them all included. After
many consultations and weary inter-
views as to sittings, dress, accessories
and other details, the order was finally
given and the artist breathed freer, but
hardly had he ordered the canvas be-
fore paterfamilias arrived breathless at
the studio, and announced that he had
forgot all about John"
'sWell," said the weary artist, land
who is John?''
"My son john" said the patron, Gas
went to the war, want him put in the
picture"
The artist proposed that John be sent
to the studio for sitting, to which the
patron of the arts responded, "Well,
forgot to tell you Johns dead" Des-
pite the gravity of the information, the
painter smiled and asked the father to
bring him a photograph or anything that
would give him an idea of the lost sons
personal appearance. "John's' parent
scratched his head and said he would
90 home and consult "Mother."
Before the artist had lighted his after
breakfast cigarette the next morning,
the fond father made his appearance
accompanied by a big bundle, which
being unrolled, displayed to the aston
ished eyes of the artist an old pair of
blue trousers.
mother said she couldn't find no
photograph nor nothin' of john" said
the perplexed parent. ''but she run
agin his old army pants and thought
they might give you an idea, and you
could put John in uniform. '-Boston

The Alphabet.

The Greeks themselves believed that
the old Ph9nician colony in B@ostian
Thebes was the source and center from
which the alphabet was spread through
out the country. Kadmus, I" the East
ern,'' for such is the meaning of his
name, was its mythical inventor, though
later legends told how the crafty Pala-
modes and the poet Simonides subse-
quently added fresh letters. But these
legends are all the fables of the literary
age; the kernel of truth they contain is
the fact that the Greek alphabet came
from Ph9nicia. 1t is fact, indeed, to
which the word " alphabet'' itself bears
witness; "alphabet,' or alpha"
s BETA the two first letters of the
alphabet, are both, as we have seen,
Phnnician words. Like the
Phenicians before them, the Greeks re-
paid the benefit they had received by
handing on their alphabet to nations
still further West. The Greek colonies
in Sicily and Southern Italy, being
mostly of Doric descent, brought with
them the Doric alphabet, and accord
ingly the natives of Southern Italy,
when they first began to write, used the
Doric alphabet of their Greek neighbOrs.
Hence it is that the Latins and ourselves
after them attach tail to the letter r.
which was wanting in the old alphabet
of Ph9nicia; hence, too, we have inher-
tied from the Romans the letter @.
which had been lost in all the Greek al
phabets, except that of Dorian origin.
On the other hand the Etruscans, that
mysterious people of Northern Italy,
who exercised so profound an influence
upon the infant civilization of Rome.
learned the art of molding and decora-
ting vases from the potters of Athens,
and since, the latter were in the habit
of inscribing the names of the gods and
heroes they depicted above the repre-
sensations of them, the Etruseans learned
at the same time the old Attic or Ionic
alphabet. We need only place the al
phabets Of Etruria and Athens side py
side to be convinced of this fact. r, for
instance, is represented in both by the
tailless P; we look in vain in both for
Q. and the two distinct symbols that

ployed them.-Profsssor Sayce's Lecture

How Little Girls Are Taught House
keeping.

In the kindergarten school of Pitts
burgh, Pa, the children are taught to
lay the table for breakfast. Little toy
tables and toy dishes are used. :. What
do we place on the table nextp" asks the
teacher. Napkins" reply the pupils.
" What are napkins for?'' 90 To wipe
our mouths and fingers, and keep our
dresses neat Having learned this
lesson. the pupils are taught to place
the napkins, then to place the plates,
which Sc must always be warmed" then

cups into" Then the coffee pot and
other articles are arranged, and the pu-
pills arise and repeat the lesson togeth-
er, pointing to each article as they name
it. g These are little breakfast tables.
This is the coffee pot; it should be scald-
ed before the coffee is put in. This is the
sugar bowl; it should be filled when
taken from the table. These are the
knives. This is the fork; we eat with

they should always be warm,' and so
on with the whole. Then comes song

The Child's Gift Of Imagination.

Into the life of every child" says a
recent essayist, no g matter in what class
of life it is found, Imagination enters
with all the freshness and beauty of a
pure spring of water. Their games and
sports take them into some mysterious
dreamland of delight; their play is fully
charged with fancy, and to make be-
lieve' that they seem to be what they are
not comes as comfort to the imprisoned
children of our crowded cities. They
have no sands on which to build their
castles, and their little feet are seldom
freshened with the salt of fhe oceans
waves; they can only live in grassy
meadows and lowered woodlands when
they get passing peep at q picture
shop; the din of the city and its wheels
is forever in their ears; but the servitude
of unromance to which they are born
does not dull or deaden sweet Nature
gift of Imagination which makes mimic
soldiers and sailors of the children whose
playground is the pavement, and whose
toys are but too often the refuse of the

The Apple.Tree BOrer.

Even where the borer is common but
comparatively few understand its histo.
ry. The perfect insect of the apple tree
borer is one of the long-horned beetles;
it is about three-quarters of an inch
long, and has pair of feelers moe
than half as long as itself; its BODY is
brown, with two broad, nearly white
stripes, hence it is called the twostriped
superda. The beetle is seldom seen, as
it is dormant by day but flies and works
at night. The insects begin to appear
this month, and next month the female
lays her eggs on the bark near the
ground. The young grubs soon bore
through the bark, and enter the tree,
where they live upon the sap wood, just
beneath the bark, forming a cell or en-
cavation the size of half dollar. 1t
lives, eats and grows here for about a
year; then, having stronger jaws it in
the second summer bores upward to-
ward the center of the tree, making a
hole three or four inches long, which it
then curves outward until its upper end

bed and rests, in the next spring, be-
coming a pupa, and soon after changing

hole through the bark at the upper end
of it's gallery, and comes out into the
world to lay eggs to produce more
borers. This is the life history of the
insect. Any :" remedy" must be of
kind to keep the young borer out, or to
kill it after it is in. Soap is found to
keep off the parent insect. The base of
the tree is kept clear of weeds and the
lower part of the trunk is rubbed with
soap; the application is repeated during
June if washed off by rains. Young
orchards are to be examined late in July
or early in August. Weeds, trash, and
about an inch of soil are removed from
around the base of the tree. The bark
is carefully examined, if chips are found,
OF the bark looks dead and dark, cut
into it with a sharp knife and cut the
borer out. If the insect has bored up
ward, it is to be followed by wire; a
piece of whale-bone, or a twig, and
killed.-American Agriculturist.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Last year the Methodist Book Con-
~cern made net profit of SIC, 600 on a
book and periodical business of $780,
900.
Don J.. A. Nunez, the Gillian Com
missioner of Education, is studying the
school and university systems of Boston
and her neighborhood.
1t is said that the present supply OF
elementary teachers in England is very
far in excess of the demand, and in con-
sequence salaries have been seriously
reduced.
Rev. J. Munro Gibson, pastor OF
the Second Presbyterian Church OF
Chicago for six years. has resigned and
will go to St. Johns Wood Church,
London, on salary of FL, 200 per an
mum.
The Rev. DR.. VIM. NJ Taylor, OF
New York, will sail on June 2 with most
of his family for Europe. His congre-
cation have voted him four months
leave of absence, and also gift of 81,
500 to meet some of the expenses of his
journey.
aDuring the 173 years of its exist
ence.. the Congregational Church of
Madison, Conn, has had only six pas
tors, none of whom ever left the church
after being settled over it until death
took them away. In the village of
Over. England, the Congregational
minister who recently died had been six
>ty years in the service of the same church.
This church was his first as we'll as
his only charge. He was buried under
the shadows of some tall poplar trees
which he planted fifty years ago. John
Marshall was this faithful and contented
pastor name.
The Bible and Prayer Union is an
institution organized in London, in JAN
uary, 1876. under the following rules:
1. Each member to read one and the
same chapter daily, asking Gods bless
ing upon the wordread. 2. Each men,
her to pray every Sunday morning for
all the members. The Union began
with a membership of fifty, Which in four
years has increased to more than 80, 900,
with branches in Germany, Switzerland,
Italy, Sweden, Greece, the Turkish En-
spire, the South Sea Islands (using cards
printed in the languages of these coun-
ztries), besides members of the parent
organization in all parts of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, in North and South
America, India, China, etc.
The opinion is growing among
teachers, says the Youths Companion,
that it is not good to offer medals and
rewards for proficiency in study. 1t was
found some years ago that the Franklin
medal did more harm than good to the
bows of the Boston Latin School, and it
is no longer given. A few ambitious
BOYS half-killed themselves in their eff
forts to win it, while the great mass of
pupils despaired from the first, and
made no attempt. Something similar
has occurred in Lowell, where Mr.. Car
*Aey left sum of money to provide
medals for competition in the High
School. The strife for these medals
caused over-exertion in a few, jealousy
and heart-burning in more, and render
ed the idle scholars even more languid
and Indifferent than they were before.
The school committee has wisely abol-
jshed the edmalS,
