ASSIGNING LESSONS.

The length OF q lesson must be de-
ternined by the pupils ability. In
class work the task must be such that
the average Of the class can learn it.
Some classes can learn harder and
longer lessons than others. Schools
differ in this respect. The pupils in
many Of our schools do not know how
to study.
We have visited schools this fall
where the lessons assigned were more
than the pupils could learn, or at least
more than they did learn. Perhaps
one or two pupils Of the class had
learned the lesson while the others did
not understand it. Now what was
done? Why the teacher let those who
had learned the lesson do all the recit-
ing, then assigned another lesson in
advance, and dismissed the class. Not
a word was said to those who failed in
the recitation. The next lesson was
longer than the one which had Just
been Numbered over.
Those classes are doing comparative.
| ly nothing, and will have to go all over
this ground next term, and the teacher
| is to blame.
Teachers should assign lessons which
they know their classes con master
and then no pupil should be allowed tc
60 home until he had learned his les
sons. Some teachers do not seem tt
care whether the lessons are learned O,
not.

EXPENSE.

Bacon tells US that riches are for
spending, but he does not say that all
kinds of spending are good for riches
or for the person making them.
1t IS sometimes benefit to a man TO
spend his fortune, for it will help him
to see more clearly how foolish he has
been when it is gone; and thus gives
him a chance to remedy his moral
defects, or turn to better account his
physical and intellectual talents. But
it is not always necessary for man to
be put to such discipline. He who is
able to bear prosperity, ought also to
be able to bear adversely. Both alike
test mans best qualities, and reveal
his true character. 1t is harder to de-
termine the character of a man who is
between the two extremes, prosperity
and adversely, than of him who is
either at one or the other Of them.
The question now comes up, "HoW
is a man to regulate his expenses 2"
The answer is, /" According to his cir
cumstances." So long as man fol-
lows this rule there can be little appre-
hension, on his part, Of trouble from
financial matters. If man wishes to
get rich he must reduce his expendi-
lures to one-third Of his income.
To follow the rule given above, there
must be foresight in order to prevent
necessity from coming iii from some
unlooked-for direction.
1t is curious fact that some mon
are so much afraid Of finding their es-
tates diminishing in value, and their
purses growing small, that they will
not or do not like to examine the state
OF their pecuniary affairs. Such men
are advised to employ for servants
such persons as are exact in their ac-
counts, punctual in their duties, be-
sides being the possessors of sound
business talent: but not to keep them
long, for new servants will be less liza
BILE to theft or other such petty frauds
than old ones, who understand their
position too we'll to be trusted.
In spending, there is another thing
OF prime Importance, that will keep a
good many from slipping too soon or
too suddenly if it be needed. It is
spending profusely in any way. He
who, as Bacon puts it, sis plentiful in
some kind Of expense should be as sav-
ing in some other
If man spends much on diet he
should be saving in apparel; If in the
hall, he should be saving in the table
and if in education, he should be saw
ing in those enjeyments which money
brings.
Sowe see life has, indeed, % good
deal to do with money. Were it not
for the latter, the former would be lit
tie enjoyed; and so, everywhere the
human eye turns itself, the idea Of
money meets it in some form or other.
Money is mighty power; able to turn
the wheels Of the world to a large ex-
tent; to rule society; and by the mere
force of its influence to accomplish
great results. 1t is, therefore, on this
account that in its use the soundest
Judgment should be exercised, the
highest moral regard for others held,
and the strictest honesty practiced;
for money in the hands of q weak and
extravaganza man will do more harm
than club in the clutches of q mani

BOUNDARY LINE OF THE
UNITED STATES

The northern boundary line of this
country is marked by stone cairns, iron
pillars, wood pillars, earth mounds, and
timber posts. A stone cairn is seven
and half feet by eight feet, an earth
mound seven feet by fourteen feet, an
iron pillar seven feet high, eight inch
eS square at the bottom and four inch.
es at the top. timber posts five feet
high and eight inches square. There
are three hundred and eighty-fve of
these marks between the Lake of the
Woods and the base Of the Rocky
Mountains, That portion of the boun-
dairy which lies east and west Of the
Red River Valley is marked by cast
iron pillars at even mile intervals
The British place one every two miles,
and the United States one between
each British post. Our pillars or
markers were made at Detroit, Michi-
gan. They are hollow iron castings,
three-eighths Of an inch in thickness,
in the form of truncated pyramid,
eight feet high, eight inches square at
the bottom and four at the top, as be-
fore stated. They have at the top a
solid pyramidal cap, and at the bottom
an octagon flange one inch in thick
ness. Upon the opposite faces are
cast, IN letters two inches high, the
inscriptions: Convention of Lon.
don" and October goth, 1873" The
inscriptions begin about four feet six
inches above the base, and read up
wards. The interiors of the hollow
posts are filled with well-seasoned ce-
dai posts, sawed to fit, and securely
spiked through spike-holes cast in the
pillars for that purpose. The average
weight of each pillar when completed
Is elghty-hYe pounds. The pillars are
all set four feet in the ground, with
their inscription faces to the north and
south, and the earth is well settled and
stamped about them. For the wooden
posts well-seasoned logs sre selected,
and the portion above the ground
painted red, to prevent swelling and
shrinking. These posts do very well,
but the Indians cut them down for
fuel and nothing but iron will last
very long. Where the lines crosses
lakes, mountains of stone have been
built, the bases being in some places
eighteen feet under water, and the tops
projecting eight feet above the lakes
surface at high-water mark. In for
ests, the line is marked by telling the
timber rod wide, and clearing away
the underbrush. The work of cutting
through the timbered swamps was
very great, but it has been well done
and the boundary distinctly marked
by the commissioners the whole dis
lance from Michigan to Alaska. The
