Teaching Children to Read.

Long time ago / was for many

great success in my reading classes.
gave only few lines for each lesson,
but required those few lines to be read
by each pupil perfectly as to pronoun-
citation, intonation, emphasis, and with

have been trying the same plan with
a little nephew of mine who had been
visiting me for a few weeks past. !
selected one of the chapters for very
little folks in a juvenile magazine
and had him read paragraph by par
agraph, over and over, till ne knew
every word at sight Then, as an aft

their minds, and they could call it in
stantly without hesitation whenever
they saw it. find the morning hours
best for these exercises Of reading and
writings the little mind is then fresh
and vigorous, and the larger mind
ditto, so patience has a full reserve.
After a half hours application to the
lesson the atlas is brought out, and
the little fellow is told geographical
stories and introduced to one country
after another, and entertained with
necessary and useful geographical ali
ment; this part Of the programme he
intensely enjoys. He has a little five
cent globe as big as an orange, but
from whicha great deal can be taught
him. The ascent of the hill of learn

easier we make it for young feet the

Women Fencers.

their cows and ourn squelched their

IT may be set down as n rule that
no one can ever afford not to be a gen
tleman. 1t is best to learn this rule
early and practice it late. 1t is not
well to say mean things of another,
because in most cases you will have
to take it all back in bitterness of heart
when he does you an unexpected IA
vor 1t is not wise to treat any one
brusquely, because you can notalways
judge a bird by the feathers he has on.
1t is not well to look down on any
body, the time may come when he
will look down upon you. There is a
certain selfhood in every one which
should be respected We have no
right to infringe upon it. 1t is not
morality, it is not mere conventional
rule, it is not simply a social regula-
ton; il is something in the nature of
things that you should always show
a delicate regard for others. One who
did not fail here was never known ut
terly to fail elsewhere.

Animals as Seed Carriers.

The tick seed (DeSmOdau0 is
good example of a seed says tn
Scientific american, which TIA
mother plant provides with means
clinging to almost any passing object.
The pods Of the tick seed are al.
most completely covered with small /
hooks which catch hold of the cloth
ing or the wool and hair OF ami mails,
and are carried away from the place
where they were produced,
The genus B}deHS of the suntio wer
furnishes very familiar examples of
seed distribution by animals Each
seed covering is provided with two
stout prongs, which are bar bed,
with the points of the barb eNten ding
backward from the point. T heSe
prongs pass easily INTO clothing or the
coverings of animals, but are not
readily detached. These 'pi tch
forks, as they are commonly called,
have no other use for their barbed out
grOwths than to aid in the diStribu-
ton of the seed, and sheep, dogs and
other animals are employed IN carry
ing the young Bidens from place to
place. The bmdock furnishes anoth-
en- fine Illustration of a natural pro
vision on the part of the mother plant
for a distribution OF her offspring by
passing animals. The burr contain
ing many seeds. is surrounded by
multitude of sharp hooks, and by
these the burr is closely fastened to
man and beast. The reader win call
to miud instances where cattle, sheep,
dogs, and even horses have become
partially covered with those closely
clinginglburrs, In this way the burdock
seed may be carried ftom one State to
another Strange plants are frequent
ly found near mills in which wool is
carded and prepared for weaving.
The wool comes in the fleece from the
various parts of the country, and per
haps from other countries, and the
seeds clinging to the wool are separa
ted, thrown out as refuse, and after
ward finding suitable ground, gemi-
nate and produce plants new to the
locality. The smaller animals, and
those not domesticated as the rats
and mice, act their part in this grand
scheme for the spreading of the seeds
Of plants Cotton is perhaps the
AlAOoh itHlllidl NAktlbhi' lAthNfh
which is produced as ameans of seed
distribution Tho human family is
greatly blessed by this provision on
the part of the cotton plant Each
cotton seed is completely inclosed in
tuft of fine hairs, by means of
which the seed is easily and quito
securely fastened to persons
clothing or to the coverings OF ami
mails
The fowls Of the air are active seed
bearers, especially those of small ber-
ries or pulpy fruits with small and
hard seeds. The indigostible cover
ing preserves the seed, while the ex-
terror soft parts with theirusual high
color insure their being eaten. In
this way the seeds Of the black berry,
raspberry, cuuant, cherry, and host
of wild berry bearing plants have
their seeds carried far and wide (.

4 Wonderful Redstead.

A wonderful bedstead, lately.fnish-
ed in Paris for on Indian Prince, IS
described as follows: IL is partly
made Of real silver, and cost many
thousand pounds sterling. AT each
corner stands beautiful modelled
female figure Qife size holding a
delicately constructed fan, and wear
ING a wig Of real hair. This is to be
regularly dressed" by the court
barber once a week. On the great
potentate getting into bed the weight
of his body sets certain machinery in
motion. the effect of which is, that so
long as his royal highness enjoys his
horizontal refreshment the silver
maidens gently fan the sleeper If
the figures at the foot of the bed are
required to exert themselves in like
manner this can be accomplished by
the aid Of a clocklike apparatus.
Moreover, should the dusky owner OF
the bed wish to be lulled to slumber by
the dulcet sounds Of soft music, this
can be done by touching a spring.
The bottom Of the bed contains a
large musical box, which is 50 ar
ranged that the tunes can be load or
soft as desired.
