Teachers are recommended to do all
they can to render their rooms attractive by
flowers, pictures, engravings and other deco
rations. In several schools plaster casts are
put up on brackets; pictures Of famous men,
of notable buildings, and of other things
calculated to arouse and awaken the interest
of children, relieve the barrenness of the
wooden walls
In one school we have visited teaching by
means Of pictures has been almost elevated
into system. The illustrated papers ara
regularly overhauled and the pictures cut
out and sorted according to subjects They
are then backed with stout paper and put
away in portfolios, labeled under headings,
such as United States, Canada, Australia,
coal mining, hospitals, politicians, famous
buildings, historical sites, and so on These
pictures are then brought out to give life
and interest to history and geography les
sons. Sometimes the walls of a school room
are almost entirely covered up to q conve-
nient height with pictures and other decora-
tons In another school in which we spent
some days, map drawing is taught as spe-
ciaity, and the children are shown how to
tint their maps with suitably chosen washes
of color Maps Of unusual excellence are
vanished, framed and hung up on the walls
of the school room TO show the other children
the skill that may be attained by persever
ance and attention to instruction

Experiences in Reflex Writing.

compose and write with considerable
rapidity, and, on re-reading my manu-
script, often find that my hand has writ
ten words in opposition to the orders from
my mind. OF the several words begin
ming with tn, for instance, 1.-The" is often
written where 'they," this" or some
other word was intended In like manner
their" becomes there whether"
takes the form of where" while re-
places which, I" what" etc; and other
vagaries Of the same general character
now and then appear. Probably expert
ences Of this kind are common, and are
passed over without reflection as to their
cause. They have long seemed to me ev-
licences OF reflex action. In rapid compo-
sition, the waiting hand lags behind the
conscious thought, which springs on to
the words in advance. and leaves its sue
cessive orders to be executed in an auto
matte and unconscious fashion.
Ordinarily the wheels Of the brain roll
on in due order: but occasionally the hand
seems to take the task Of suggestion on
itself, taking advantage of the absence Of
consciousness. and moving In q more Gus
tomary channel than that directed: tn,
for instance, is followed by moro COM
monty than by any other letters; and the
hand if left to the action of reflex sug-
gestion, would write 1.-THE" in preference
to the other tn words It is not ct oil
surprising, then, that the writing of tn
sends back reflex suggestion Of as the
concluding letter of the word, which is
occasionally of sufficient strength TO over
come the impulse given by consciousness
to the brain TO write some other word

The Fans History In Drief.

Kan. 81 was the first lady who carried a
fan. She lived in ages which are past
and for the most part forgotten. and she
was the daughter of Chinese mandarin.
Whoever saw a mandarin, even on tea
chest, without his fan? In China and
Japan to this day every one has a fan; and
there are fans of all sorts for everybody.
The Japanese waves his fan at you when
he meets you by way of greeting, and the
beggar who solicits for aims has the ex-
ceedingiy small coin made on purpose
for charity presented to him on the tip of
the fan. In ancient times, among Greeks
and Romans, fans seem to have been
feathers, and carried by slaves over the
heads of their masters and mistresses, to
protect them from the sun, OF wave about
before them to stir the air.
Catherine de Medici CARRIED the first
folding fan ever seen in France, and in
the time of Louis XIV the fan was a
gorgeous thing, often covered with
Jewels, and worth small fortune. In
England they were the fashion in the
time of Henry VIII A fan set In dia-
monds was once given to Queen Elizabeth
upon New Years day. The Mexican
feather fans which Cortez had from Mon
tesumn were marvels of beauty: and in
Spain large black fan is the favorite.
It Is said that the use of fan is as care
fully taught IN that country as any other
branch of education. and that BY a well
known code of signals Spanish lady can
carry on long conversation with any
one, especially an sdmirer. The Japanese
criminal of rank is politely executed by
means of fan. On being sentenced to
death he is presented with fan, which
he must receive with a low bow. and as
he bows. prestoi the executioneer draws
bis sword and cuts his head off In fact.
there is fan for every occasion IN Japan.
