An incident in the school-life of teacher as
related by herself. illustrates our point She
had charge of a school in country town early
in her career, and among her scholars was bow
about fourteen years old, who cared very little
about study and showed no interest apparently
in anything connected with the school, Day
after day he failed in his lessons and detentions
after school hours and notes to his widowed
mother had no effect. One day the teacher had
sent him to his seat. after vain effort to get
from him correct answer to questions in gram
mar, and feeling somewhat nettlcd. she
watched his conduct. Having taken his seat.
he pushed the book impatently aside, and.
espying fly, caught it with dexterous sweep
of the hand and then betook himself to a close
inspection of the insect. For fifteen minutes or
more the boy was thus occupied, needless of sur
roundings. and the expression of his face told
the teacher that it was more than idle curiosity

many things which were entirely new to his
teacher. So that when ne had finished she said:
'Thank you! You have given us real lecture
in natural history, and you have learned it all
yourself"
After the school closed that afternoon she had
a long talk with the boy, and found that he was
fond OF going into the woods and meadows and
collecting insects and watching birds. but that
his mother thought he was wasting his time
The teacher however wisely encouraged him in
this pursuit, and asked him to bring beetles and
butterflies and caterpillars to school, and tell
what he knew about them. The boy was de-
lighted by this unexpected turn of affairs. and
in few days the listless Ounce was the marked

were procured for him and a world OF wonders

From the New York Mail end Express.
Among the most notable of recent fashions In
large dogs is the st. Bernard, which has almost
suddenly pushed its way to the foreground In
England it is fast supplanting the collie, which
has ruled as a prime favorite ever since the
Newfoundland dog was dethroned, and perhaps
as result of this English fancy the demand for
st. Demands In this city is growing. at is but
lately that dogs of this kind have been asked
for. said prominent dealer to reporter for
the Mail and Express. ''but they are very scarce.
Only people Of means can afford to own them.
for they range in price-mind, speak only of
the genuine breed-from $500 to $1,000. Even
puppies sell for $500. Now, there is a fine eigh-
teen-mOnth-Old fellow" he said as q large,
splendid-looking dog walked n,ajesticaly into

and ut night he puts his head on a pillow,
cover him up with blanket and he sleeps Just
like a baby. Worth much: / ask So 600 for him
and I'll wager his equal cannot be found on this
side of the Atlantic
There are two varieties Of the st. Bernard,
rough-coated and smooth-coated. both having
the same characteristics except In the length of
tHe Huil' Inc Poiuts supposed 10 pe the us
tlngu:shing marks of genuine st. Bernard
are: tawny OF brindle color clearly marked
line up the face and similar one around the
neck, and a full. square head. These animals
are very intelligent and seem to be endowed
with the instinct of saving life. Their attach
ments are very strong. They require plenty of
room for exercise and fanciers assert that a dog
of this species raised in the country, where he
can have plenty Of exercise. Will grow to much
larger stature than one raised in the city.
Among the owners of st. Bernard dogs in
this city is Samuel J. Tilden, whose Askhim, one
OF the rOugii-cOated species has carried away
many prizes. Mrs. ID. =. Foster, of South Fifth

general has the power under the law to refuse

in sea of peralexities. If an examination
is made in any one case, the contractor would
undoubtedly, and with a show OF justice
demand the same examination of the remain
