it can be pressed by the hand into any
circular shape. Having formed one side,
it can be turned over and the other side
nodded into shape with the hand, or by
means of q tool that gently presses the
clay into the right shape. Taken off the
wheel, the soft dish is placed in dry
place till it becomes hard. 1t can then
be put in lathe and turned down
smooth and even. 1t is then placed in q
kiln and burned. 1t comes out hard,
strong, and pure white, or some very
light shade of gray or yellow. The sur.
face is, however, dull and slightly rough.
1t can be dipped in thin clay resembling
cream, and baked or fired" again, and a
smooth, W lite, hard, CLASSY surface or
"glaze" put on it. Another way is to
dip the soft, unbaked plate in the
"glazing clay, and then fire it, the clay
and the CLASSY surface being formed into
china or porcelain at the same time.
Another plan is to form the soft va.
tery.clay into a plastic mold. The water
soaks away through plaster, leaving the
clay in thin mass in..the!mold. 1t soon
hardens sufficiently to keep its shape
when handled, and can then be dried
dipped in glaze and fred.
This, in few words, is the natural
history of dinner plate. 1t was eug.
gested by gourd or she'll. Clay used
to protect the gourd from the fire led to
burned clay without the gourd, and SC
earthen pots began to be made. From
clay pots came fatter dishes and plates
Infinite search, experimentand trial with
every kind Of clay finally resulted in just
the right clay, or the right mixture o.
clays, to give us the beautiful material
we call porcelain. At last science and
manufacturers took up the matter, and
what was once worth its weight in gold is
now on every house mothers table
From the very first, men learned to make
that which was useful beautiful. It was
found that certain earths aud metals
when mixed with clays, gave it colors
and the old potters began to decorate
their ware. To-day artists devote theil
lives to decorating, in all the beautiful
colors science has found for US, the
plates and dishes on our tables. Every
crockery.ware store is now museum o.
beautiful forms and colors, and all oul
homes shine With lovely bits OF color or
the walls or sideboard. Eating dinner
is really only piece of business we have
to go through every day. Beautiful,
china, clear glass, and snowy linen take
away the idea of eating, and make il
charming and artistic. Our savage an
cestors dsvoured food in the German
woods. We dine, and it is the dinner
plate makes all the diference.-Christiar

Mr.. EDITOR: Prof. McElroy's recent
article in the Teachers Column is worth
more than the subscription price Of the
! paper to any thoughtful teacher, and it
.is to be hoped that the truth SO clearly
stated may open the eyes of many
Ssdeluded parents who still walk almost
literally in the way their fathers trod.
Teachers of Mr.. McElroy's experience
.s..and ability ought to write oftener. What
they say has weight, and commands the
attention and the respect, too, Of those
siwahoread. Will be tell us what Gram.
9Smar he uses, and whether be has any
general exercise looking to the improve.
sment of the speech of all the school.
Possibly there are in his school, as is the
case with many schools, number oil
children not far enough advanced for
technical grammar, and still others who
have laid aside grammar and are giving
& their time to the classics and higher
mathematics. What does Mr.. McElroy
sdo for the first class, and how does he
deal with the second? Both are to be
. taught correct speech; one is not yet
ready for technical grammar-the other
has passed out of it, Some one is ready
TO say: Give the little ones language
y {essons.. and the classical scholars an
Z occasional review of grammar" Very
good language lessons are valuable and
necessary, and the review by the ad-
yanced pupils possible, but should there
mot be q general exercise for the benefit
! not only of these two classes, but for the
whole schoolY I think so. "A few weeks
ago suggested that where blackboard
room was plentiful, it might be we'll for
4 the teacher to put on the board every
morning some incorrect expression that
{ the whole school might be warned
against it. have confidently expected
3 some one to take issue with me On that.
That is not the popular way; it is, per.
haps, not the best way. Tito familiarize
"a student with incorrect expression is to
make him adopt it, that is certainly not
d the best way; but whether that conclu.
sion is logically drawn is questionable
4 I have know this plan practical with
profit to both teacher and pupils: Re.

expressions made by themselves or BY
their companions. This will at last cul.

Gentlemen.-I have very thoroughly
tested your Calisaya Tonic and do moi
hesitate to pronounce it a most remedial
agent. AS stomschic and tonic it is
unsurpassed. For eliminating malarial
poison from the system and repairing
their deleterious effects, for rebuilding
reinvigoratiug and giving tone to the
system when reduced by protracted OF
severe fevers or other debiliating causes
there is in my judgment, no other pre-.
paration in the whole field of medicines
equal to it.

plate.
Clay is an earth. 1t came, as did the
soil under our feet, and all the sand on
the shore, from the rocks. Heat and
cold, the rain, wind and ice, ever wear
the rocks away, breaking and grinding
them up into small stones and gravel.
These in turn are swept away by brooks
and rivers, and rolled over and over
until they are 6 round up into sand, or
the fine soft silt or mud we call clay.
Now, clay has two curious properties.
When wet, it is plastic-that is, it is soft
and sticky, and if bent or pressed into
any shape it will keep that shape for
some time. Besides this, it is curiously
affected by heat. In the heat of the sun
it becomes quite hard. If broken up, it
falls into dust, and when wet with water
becomes plastic again, and can be nodded
into new shades. In the heat of O strong
fire it becomes very hard indeed, and
changes its color. If now it is broken
up into pieces it cannot be again made
plastic. These facts have probably been
known for tens ofthousands ofyears, and,
for back in the unknown past, some tor.
gotten genius invented a tool that made
it possibly to make dinner plate out cf
clay. 1t is represented on some ofthe
oldest Egyptian monuments, where one
of the gods is shown sa making the first
man out of clay on potter's wheel.
To-day the same fiat, whirling table is
used to make all our dinner plates.
A lump of soft, wet clay is placed on
the wheel, and as it turns swiftly round

of the school boys have no father, some
no mother; some get no good precepts
at home aud some no good example, and
so there are generally about half the
scholars sadly in need of moral training,
aud if they don't get it Mt school they get
it nowhere. Vice is more contagious and
