A Teachers Answers.

President Wavland, Of Brown Univer-
sity, was great teacher. lie had the
rare art of drawing out pupils mind.
He did little work for him, but he did
make him work for himself.
In the recitation room, it was clearly
understood that the subject OF the les
son was one in which students and pro-
lessors were equally Interested. They
were encouraged to ask questions, and
to express their conscientious dissent
from the views of their teacher.
Occasionally student would abuse
this freedom; but sharp answer, such
as showed the folly Of the foolish youth,
prevented the renewal of the expert
ment.
"Do you consider dancing wrong?"
asked student.

in this world, my son. The next" was
the reply,

Marriage In the Fifteenth Century.

How we're young ladies dealt with and
how were marriages managed in the fifteenth
century? If this generation of young la
dies have any notion Of it, they will rejoice
that they were not born to be married four
hundred years ago. They know very we'll
if they have attended to their duty and
trained up their parents in ths way that
they should 60, they may choose for them
selves, with or without discrimination, as
the case may be. Neither they nor their
parents may have taken the view which I
recollect to have heard from Mr.. Rogers
that it does not much signify who one man
ries, as one is sure to lind next morning
that it WAS somebody else; but though they
may not be prepared to go quite this length,
yet, from one cause or another, the young,
in their willfulness and strength will not
seldom act, and the old in their impotence
concede, in such sort that they might seem
not to stop far short Of it. It was other
wise III the last century. Parental rigor in
those days could hold its own as firmly as tie
parish stocks; and there was but one es-
cape--the flight to Gretna Green. a sane
tuary known now only to history. The
GOODNESS with which it Was sometimes re-
sorted to may be exemplifed by a quotation
(given TO me by a grandson Of the partles}
from letter written, not, however, to the
parents of the lady {for she was az orphan),
but to her guardians, beginning thus:
Gentlemen-Your unnatural behavior 10
your ward, Miss, Induced her, however
reluctantly, to take Journey to Scotland,
in which she allowed me sle homer Of ac-
companying her."
The slackening Of restraint in this century
may have better results on the whole than
the unnatural behavior" Of the last, but it
sometime leads to inpromptu arrangements
by young people which mey seem not to
have been made with sufficient sense Of
their seriousness. have known Of a pro-
posal in this century by young gentleman
to 8 still younger lady who gave this really
reply: 4Oh, yes, let US be married, It Will
be such awful fun!" I trust that her some
what sudden and sanguine expectations
were fulfilled. have no reason to think
that they were not. But there is something
to be said for taking time on such occasions,
and looking before and after.

less than two hours the offenders shop
will be visited by inspectors who will
commence an examination of his whole
stock, and carry off all adulterated
merchandise there and then in a cart.
In some places it is still the custom to
pour adulterated liquids in the gutter
in front of the yender's house, but this
has been discontinued in large cities
because women used to hasten with jugs
to ladle up the condemned wine or spir-
its, not caring If they were poisoned, so
long as they got the poison for nothing.
Foreign magistrates thoroughly under
stand the Importance of protecting the
public against noxious food, and for
this reason there are inspectors whose
only business is to go and visit the
kitchens of hotels and eating houses to
see that copper saucepans are kept free
from yerdigris and that no tainted meats
are used. The grandest hotels, like the
lowest beef shops, are liable to the visits
of these inspectors, who viii never scru-

There was crack under the kitchen
door-a crevice large enough for one to
put hand under-and early in November
Mrs. Oripso began saying:
'Now, Cripso, don't let this day pass
without mailing down cleat to stop that
crevice. 1t will let in more cold this win
ter than two tons of coal can drive out"
And Cripso began replying:
Certainly, my dear-certainly. That
crevice shall be stopped this very day."
On fifteen different occasions in Novem-
Ter she reminded him of the fact that he
had forgotten the crevice. In December
the number of occasions was twenty.
During the month of January she spoke of
it twenty-five times. In February she
began referring to the matter at each meal,
and the other day she nailed him down
with the remark:
"Cripso, L am going down town, and
I'll stop on my way and ask carpenter
to come up and fix that door,"
''rll fix it."
''No you won't! You just let it alone
I'll have carpenter hear before night
and that door will be fixed"
81 say Pll fix it myself-right away
now" and in five minutes he had saw and
hammer and cleat, and was at the job.
Mrs. Oripso went off chuckling over her
victory, and upon her return her husband
said:
'Well, the old crevice is shut up"
''You fixed it, eh?'
"Fixed it better than any carpenter yor
could have sent up, and in ten minutes
too. Come and see."
She took one look at his work and ther
sat down and whispered:
'Cripso, you just missed it by hairs
breadth"
''What?"
"Being born fool! You have nailed

So he had. He had shut the crevlce ant

The Swiss Method.

In Geneva and some other parts of
Switzerland very practical custom ex-
lists for the rapid punishment of GER
tain class of petty offenders. A police
man who sees publican keep his house
open after closing hours, a cabman
driving after dark without his lanterns
lit, or a servant shaking carpet out of
a window overlooking the street, does
not summon the transgressor before a
magistrate, but serves him with card,
which, setting forth the nature Of the
offense, adds: eff you acknowledge
yourself to have committed the afore-
said breach of police regulations, you
are to pay fine of 5 francs at the
police Office on such day. If you deny
your guilt, you are hereby summoned
to appear on such day at the tribunal
of police, where you will have to an
swer to my charge" By this system
the expense, waste of time, and worry
involved in attending at police court
to meet trivial charge are avoided,
and no injustice is done, since the ac-
cused has the right Of appeal to mag

l wonder me much, as I meet on the
streets richly dressed ladies, of perfect
dress and form divine, but whose faces are
powdered so thickly that the artifce used
can be easily seen, why they use the stuff.
Deception that does not deceive is useless.
The world does not dislike that which
covers a spot of doubtful beauty. The
world may see the covering, but the very
of fattery. We only conceal our defects
from those we wish to please, or in whose
eyes we wish to appear we'll. But the ex-
cessive use of this powder for theface is both
unskillful, harmful and unsightly. Men
are dropping into the same habit. L say
dropping to make my meaning clear as to
the effect it has on my estimation. 1t is
we'll known that numbers of society young
men not only powder, but paint their
faces and walk with the mincing gait of a
courtier fop, whose only business and am
bition is to say soft, sweet nothings and act
in unison. The age we live in has tend
ency to increase the growth of this eff
feminacy in man. Oscar Wilde-here's a
wish for his obituary-set the ball roll
ing, and no man ever stepped on the hori-
zon of the worlds view and posed but he
had following. I have love for the
bronzed beauty of a man that passeth adj
miration, and / smile and smile again
