TURKEYS IN ANCIENT GREECE. The
books will tell you that the turkey was
unknown to ancient naturalists, and even
to the Old World before the discovery of
America. And that it was first imported
into France in the reign of Francis l., and
into England in that of Henry VIII.
Don't you believe it. l would back the
author of the sweet "Monte Cristo and
the superb "D'Artagnan to be in pos

all the books in the world. What does he
say He says first of all-what is true of
other delightful creatures besides turkeys
that the female Is always smaller and
more delicate than the male. So she is,
God bless her. And he adds that turkeys
were known of the Greeks, who called
them Meleagrides, because Meleager, King
Of Macedonia, introduced them into
Greece in the year of the world 1853. But
there are great many learned ones myself

statement with suspicion. Nevertheless,

PLACE Con FIDENcE IN CHILDREN. -Su,
perintendent Stone, of Springfield, Mass,
says teachers should place confidence
in children until there is good reason for
withholding it, and when a child exhibits
a consciousness of truthfulness and honor,
that principle should be carefully cult
waited and strengthened and guarded
against unfavorable influences. When
such sentiment does not exist in the
child's breast, it is the teachers duty to
strive to implant it there and to guard its
growth. 1t should be impressed upon the
minds of pupils that when they speak to
US we have by the common consent of
mankind right to expect the truth, and
that when they are guilty of falsehood, or
of dishonorable act they do violence to
their own moral nature and self-respect.
