4 Trick of the Trade,

There is a cruel story in circulation con
corning certain teacher in one of the public
schools who has been highly couplimented
because OF the success attending the examina-
ton G her pupils. 1t WAS noticed that her
class OF boys seemed to be able to solve nli the
problems. When question was asked, every
boys hand in the class was raised The prin-
cipal Of the school was putting the questions
and the teacher would call on n pupil to make
the answer. Although more than score of
questions were asked, in no instant was an
improper answer given.
1he principal was SO pleased nt the result
that he made special mention of Miss Dasl's
proficiency as Il teacher in each Of the class
rooms that he visited. Probably envy was
caused by the fact that in no other class
room did the pupils seem to be as well up in
their studies. One of the teachers. whose
pupils did not acquit themselves very credit
ably, made an investigation, and by n i,di-
cious use OF candy succeeded in ginning tile
confidence Of one Of the boys under Miss
Dash's care.
Now JOHNNY said she, Chow is it that
al! you boys know the answers.
1--WE don't all know, snil Johnny, MUNICH
ing caramel.
But yon all put up your hands rs if you
did"
Miss Dash tells us to put up ou. hand
when the question is asked We boys who
don know tile answer put up cur left hands
an the boys who know the answer put ,lp
their right hands, and then Miss DASH only
asks the boys who have a right hand up -

He believed in the New Yorker and admired

Spaniards liked him not only because Of his

also for the reason that the generals second

"A hundred years ago or more it was Gus
tonln1y in SOME parts of New Enela for
men and boys to wear trousers made Of
leather The historian Of the town Of Wells.
Me-, remarks that such garments were not
altogether satisfactory, for the rather curl
Gus reason that they lasted too long.
We remembered hearing a matron Of the
oldeli time telling 8 story of the two BOYS of
one Of her neighbors. They had begged of
their mother that they might lay aside their
leather trousers, and haze a pair made Of
domestic cloth; but all their entreaties were
In vain. She would give them no other en-
courngement than to promise that when tie
leather was worn out they should have Il
pair Of hoinespun
They endured for long time the vexaliou
of The unyieldins garments, which promised
to be as lasting as the raimeut Of the Israel
ties in the wilderness.
Finally, all hope failed the boys, and their
wits came to their aid. They took to the
grindstone, One sat upon it while the other
turned the crank. In imagination they saw
themselves already clothed in the long desired
homespun.
But alasl their hopes were suddenly blasted
All at once their father came round the corner
of the barn, and discovered them thus en-
ployed. They had still to wear the leather
for how much longer the historian is unable
to say.-Youth's Companion.
