When Shall. the Children Learu7

Teach the children to read at home,
before they are old enough to 60 to
school. 1t is not necessary to tax their
minds in the least; they may learn to
call words just as they call things.
When a child. knows how to read it has
another source of self amusement, and
as juvenile books abound it can vary its
plays with exercises in some illustrated
book in easy reading. Reading comes
first, spelling afterward. A child will
learn in two or three months teaching,
the daily lessons not exceeding half an
hour. to read and spell words of three
and four letters with ease. The same
page should be gone over and over till
every word is called at sight If the
parent viii let the little one hold pen
Gil, while the parent hand traces, on
this paper laid on the page, the forms of
the letters, great progress will be made
in fixing the forms of the words on the
juvenile mind, and in laying the foun-
dations of a knowledge of correct orthog-
raphy. A careful observer who was
teacher of forty years standing once
spell before it was ten years old rarely
learned to spell correctly" The healthy
child soon learns to rejoice in its own
intellectual growth. and needs little
stimulus to push it forward. 1t is best
for the mother to take the child in her
lap while she is teaching it, so that for
the five or ten minutes lesson she can
control its movements, and gain its at
tention, which is very apt to wander
from work to play.

Ambidextry.

A person who has the equal use OF
both ha71dsis called ssambidextrous;' !.
e.. as though possessed of two dexters,
or right hands. A man in New York is
a remarkable example of this, and he
claims that it is not a born gift, but an
requirement within the power of any
person. In that city recently he lect-
ured upon the subject, and began his
illustrations by showing on the black
board what he called the best test of
ambidextry. the writing of signatures
He wrote his own name with both hands
at once, backwards and forwards, right
side up and upside down, and in half a
dozen other different ways
"This," said Mr.. Woodward, sis
valuable accomplishment for a bank
president or railroad official; for he
who can write his name twice, while
another is writing it once, deserves three
holidays in a week, or double pay.
Then the lecturer wrote love letter
in French in one hand, and a business
letter in English with the other stimuli
taneously. Afterward, at the same time,
he wrote such words as s'Fontainebleau''
and 'Constantinople." Gas an athletic
exercise, club swinging and dumbbell
shaking sink into stupidity beside this"
he said, wiping his brow
1.-The most difficult thing to do" he
continued, sis to draw square with one
hand and q circle with the other"
Then he attempted the task. The ends
of the circle did not meet and it was not
round; besides, the square looked like
parallelogram, but the audience APP
plauded.
Finally, Mr.. Woodward drew with
both hands symmetrical geometrical
figures, which he called decorative de-
signs, employing the right hand on the
right side of the figure, and the left hand
on the left side. He sketched seven of
these figures in a minute and a half and
said -
Il viii challenge tho best draughts-
man in New York City to perform this
task in an hour and quarter with one
hand, and he may select his own de-
signs

make fellow ha hawssr. But let us be
sober If you are, you think, cable.
The panther is sometimes called a
painter, but this is beastly use of the
name.
The painter is not exactly an artist.
Aht it's too often the latter is but a
painter.
The painter hides good deal of cheap
work. 1t fills me with painter say
this.
The painter shows his gilt in a great
deal that he does.
The painter is usually of an molten
sive nature, though he is almost always
ready for brush.
When he is painting a sign it is sign
he is painting.
The painter is a man of letters. He is
a wonderful speller. He can show you
specimens of photography that can be
found in no dictionary.
His strong point, however, is punct-
uation. II you will study some of his
signs, you will see the point where there
is none, and vice versa.
The painter clothes our habitations
with coats Jacob was painter. He
gave to his son Joseph q coat of many
colors When they went to their work
Jacob made Joseph carry the Potphar
away.
When the painter comes to your
houses, children, he mixes his paint as
he uses it. The painter mixes IN the
best society.
The painter is not what you would
call iatterer. He is plain-going
fellow, and attends only to his work.
He never ..lays it on thick. as the say
