There was once an old monk who
was walking through a forest with n
little scholar by his side. The old
mar suddenly stopped and pointed to
four plants close at hand. The first
was just beginning to peep above the
g.ound; the second had rooted itself
pretty well in the earth; the third was
a smart shrub; while the fourth and
last was a full sized tree. Then the
old monk said TO his young companion:
Pull up the first"
The boy easily pulled it up with his
fingers.
Nov pull up the second
The youth obeyed, but not so easily.
.'And the third
But the boy had to put forth all his

meaning of the four trials.
This. my son. Is just what happens
with our passions. When they are
very young and weak. one may, by a
little watchfulness over self. and the
help of II little sclf-denial. easily tear
them up; but if we let them cast their
roots deep down into our souls, then
no human power can uproot them
the Almighty hand Of the Creator alone
can pluck tt,em out. For this reason.

school; here we learn lessons for the
world to come. Sometimes the tasks
are hard TO DO; sometimes the eyes arc
50 blinded by bitter tears that we can
not see; sometimes the SKY above rs is
so overcast that MI seems dark around
us: sometimes if the letters on the PAGE
were not raised so that we could feel
the way we could not walk in It; and
sometimes the lessons seem to be so
trying, so terribly trying, that in our
anguish We cry for mercy. But ONE
times all is bright above Us. around,
and in us; the sun shines, the flowers
bloom, and the birds are singing so
sweetly that. almost without bidding,
our lips send forth glad psalms of
praise. But these are the everlasting
arms; they never fail us III the sorcSt
time of need. They are not only
above us, around us but underneath
us. If they were only above we might
have TO climb up to them, to
raise ~ weary arms to their grasp.
If they were only around MS our tired
feet would not be helped as they would

also underneath us, just as a mother

Industrial Education

There is q new kind of school and
there are new lessons and new teach
ers coming. Books we must have. To
learn. we must read. But we may
read all about boats, and yet we can
never learn to sail a boat till we take
the tiller in hand and trim the sail be-
fore the breeze. The book will help
wonderfully i'll telling Us the names of
things in the boat and, if we have to
read about sailing, we shall more
quickly learn to sail but we certainly
never shall learn till we are in Il row
boat. We can read in II book how TO
turn a heel in knitting, and may com
NIT to memory whole rules about
''throwing off two and purl four and
all the rest; yet where is the girl who
can learn TO knit without having the
needles in her hands?
This, then, is the idea of the new
school-to use the hands AS well rs the
eyes. Boys and girls who 90 to the
ordinary schools, where only books are
used, will graduate knowing II great
deal; but a boy who goes to one of
these new schools, where, besides the
books. there are pencils and tools.
w~ork-benches us well rs writing-books.
will know more. The other boys and
girls in6y forget more than half they
read, but he will remember everything
he learned at the drawing-table or at
the workbench, rs long as he lives.
He will also remember more of that
his hands helps him to understand
what he reads.
! remember long ago a tear-staincd
book of tables of weights and measures,
and a teachers impatience with a stu
pid child who could not muster the
tables And | have seen "A school
where the tables were written on a
blackbOard-thus: ''two pints are equal
to n quart" and on Il stand in the
school-roOm was a pint measure and IL
tin quart measure, and n box Of dry
sand. Every happy youngster had Il
chance TO fill that pint with sand and
pour the sand in the quart measure.
Two pints filled it. He knew it. Did
he not see it. did not every boy try it?
All! Now they knew what it all meant.
1t was plain rs day hat two pints of
sand were equal to one quart of sand,
and with merry smiles those ~six-vear
old philosophers learned the tables of
measures; and they will never forget
them. This is in brief. what is meant
by industrial education. To learn by
using the hands-to study from things
rs well As from books. This is the
new school. these are the new lessons.
The children who can sew, or design,
or draw, or carve wood. or do joiner
Ing work, or east metals. OF work in
clay and brass, are the best educated
children, because they use their hands
AZ well rs their eyes and their brains.
You may say that in such schools all
the boys viii become mechanics. and
all the girls become dres,makers.
Some may. many will not; and yet
whatever they do, be it preaching,
keeping a store, or singing in concerts,
they will do their work better than those
who have only read in books.-Chas.
Bernard in St. Nicholas for October.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Hay
Fever.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due to
the presence of living parasites in the lining
membrane OF the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be a fact, and the result is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby catarrh,
catarrhal deafness and hay fever are cured in
from one TO three simple applications at home.
