A Good Face.

MEMORY OF EvENTs.-This is shown
by wide full forehead in the center.
REASONING PowER.-A high, long
and well defined nose and a broad
face exhibits this great faculty.
MORAL CoURAGE.-This faculty
manifests itself by wide nostrils, short
neck and eyes set directly in front.
LANGUAGE.-This faculty is exhib-
tied in many parts of the face, par
ticularly by large mouth, and large,
full eyes, opened wide.
F-EsrEEM.-This faculty shows
itself in long or deep upper lip.
Large self-esteem gives one dignity,
self-control and perfect independence.
FIRMNEss.-The presence of this
faculty, when very large, is indicated
by long broad chin. Firmness is
synonymous with willfulness, perse-
verance and stability,
PERCEPTION OF CHARAoTER.-This
is indicated by a long high nose at
the lower end or tip. This faculty is
useful, if not indispensable.
POWER OF OBSERVATION. The sit
uation of this faculty is in the face
just above the top of the nose, filling
out the forehead to a level with the
parts on each side of the nose. 1t is
faculty which enables one to con-
centrate the mind upon the subject
being discussed.

are such diverse ceases" and SO
many "howsl" But l beg of you,
teach it some Chow" and the very
best you know how, remembering
Mary Allen Vests words, that the
citizens of tomorrow are the school
children of today, and that ignorance
makes as many drunkards as appe-
tite.
Certainly the simplest and most
thorough chow in this day of good
textbooks is to have the pupils sup
piled with these, have the lessons in
them assigned, learned, reclted, and
recorded with the same care and reg
ularity as the "three Rs" with the
added advantage that these text
books 60 into the homes, teaching
and preaching to the children of a
larger growth. But if, for any reason
this plan is not practicable for you,
do not despair.
Use your blackboard. Fill it with
facts and figures from your own text
book, or that you have CLEANED from
the great field of temperance truth.
Give oral lessons, "little talks" or
readings requiring notes TO be taken,
if your pupils are Of note-taking. age.
Make a general exercise" of it.
Give them questions to look up and
look into. Set them thinking. De-
vote Friday afternoons to it. Sing
songs, speak pieces, have debates,
and though, it is line upon line, only
here little and there a little, it will
count up, and mount up too, one day.
Take the "bug-a-boo" out of COM
position day, by giving them this real,
live thing to write about, this that
touches them on every hand, letting
one take the pocket-book view of it,
another the social phase, one write of
its physical effects, another of its
moral ruin, and so on and on, for,
like Mr.. Tennyson's brook, cit flows

be better to give them snow during

of farmers in this section of the
