Although all the members of the Wander

Tor October, they never permit their child
rem TO remain up late at night, are extreme
ly careful in their education, and, in
word, are fitting them for life as well as
any mother or father could do. 1t is one of
the rules in oil the houses of the Wander
bits, that the children shall 60 to bed early
and rise early. TIE little boys aud girls
are up before seven O'Clock in the morning.
Their nurses Immediately take charge of
them, see that they are properly bathed
and dressed, and then they go down to
breakfast, which is served at half-past
seven O'Clock. 1t is an unpretentious
meal, with plenty of fresh milk eggs, oat-
meal and q bit of steak or a chop that will
add strength TO their physique and color to
their cheeks. After breakfast there is an
hour OF study There is something for these
little ones to do at all times during the day
They 60 through their studies systemati-
ca1lv, and then about $50 o'clock, are
taken out for walk. They are allowed to
romp in the streets and in the parks to their
hearts content. At IL o'clock they are
brought home. light luncheon of milk and
bread is served, after which there are
more studies-either French, German or
drawing-then another breathing spell it
may be horseback riding, or drive out
through the park and along the
country roads. Back they all come about
4 O'Clock. and there is another hour
of study. and then they are through for the
day. They are allowed to do just as they
please until tea time when, after their meal,
they spend pleasant hour or so with their
fathers and mothers aud others who may
drop in TO call. Promptly at O'Clock they
are all in bed 20 sleep soundly. and get up

Rural and even suburban mayors in

magnate in commune Of tho Depart
ment of tho Seine ct Disc, however, has
distanccd the administrative fcatS OF a
3erio-comic order which have been ac-

recent years.
1t appears that wealthy Partisan
has splendid grove, in which red haw-
tnorn predominatcs, on his property in
the district ruled over by tho mayor in
question.
For long time tho shrub has been
famous in all the country roupd, and
its owner was excessively proud OF it,.
Lately. however, he received long
letter from tho worthy official of tho
locality setting forth that the lovely
hawthorn exercised baleful OBJECT on
the crops OF all the farmers within ton
miles of it. Nothing has prospered in
its vicinity. and the mayor also feared
that tho people under his high control
were bswitched by the obnoxious blos-
soms.
Accordingly no and his municipal
council, in full meeting assem- bled, had
determined to call upon the owners Of
the hawthorn to pull it up, root and
branch, otherwise the local custodian OF
public order or rural Dogberry. would
be turned loose, and the baleiul grove
would disappear promptly. or COURSE.

II Is Creator Than That of All tho Coun-
tries OF Europe.
The census OF 1875 gave tho popula a.
ton OF the empire at 435, 900, 00O Since
that time Tonquin has been lost with
several million people. and Kashgaria
has been rcconqucred. Among no peo-
pie with any dogree OF civilization is
the birth rate SO high as in China, and
although the death rate in tho densely-
crowded districts is very great. thcre is
every reason to presume that there arc
now 49, 600 600 people in China
These figures represent moro than
one-third of the population OF the
globe. 1t is greater population than
that OF all Europe, and three
limos the number of people on
the Western continent. Even at those
enormous figures tho average number of
people TO the square mile for the whole
ighty-tive-is not so high as
in some parts of tho United States.
In the great mountain ranges, on tho
arid plains of kashgaria and the SNOWY
regions Of Mongolia and Manchuria, the
population is sparse, but in the eight
central provinces OF China propcr-in
tho fertile, aliuvial soils--thc popula-
ton is denscr and more crowded than
in any other region OF equal extent on
earth. The villages there arc almost
beyond enumeration. and the numbers
of the walled cities increl bic to those
who have not seen them. In tho
two Kiang PROVINCES, at the mouth OF
the Yangtz river with an area Of 90. O0o
square miles, the population in 1870 was
II, coo, coo, and there were I25 walled
cities.
Tho census of 1875 was tal,en whom
the richest portions OF these two PROV
inces had been dcvas ia ted and depopu-
lated by the TAPPING rebellion. Since
that timo there has been great in
pouring of people from other regions OF
tho empire, especially from those dig.
tricts where the famine OF 1878 pro
vailed. The natural increase of popu-
lation has also been very great. and it
would be safe to say that these 90, 600
square miles have more than 50, 900, 600
people. Mechanical News.

STUDY OF ENGLISH.
How to Extend the Acquaintance OF str.
donts with Stnnd I'd LItcraturc.

How to Extend the Acquaintance OF STU.
dents with Standir Literature.
Critical study OF English is still most
1nfrequcnt i'll our preparatory schools.
1t is not always tho fault of the crowded
curriculum. Too often tho teacher has
little comprehension of tho inspiration
and beauty of language. Literature is
still to many girls and boys IL dry sub
Ject to DO got tn rough in prescribed
number of hours. Reading and writing
are the last enemies to DO overcome. or
to DO dodgcd as ono may, instead of tho
best and simplest friends ono can have,
to DO grappled to tho soul with hoops of
custom and continuing habit. The work
of preparation in English at tho Cam
bridge school, where girls arc fitted for
Harvard studies, ia complete and inter-
esting, full of suggestion for students
and for teachers of literature. Tho
object has been to create an appre-
citation OF English writings as an OK
preston of life, rather than as an
illustration OF literary forms. Each
literary work as it has been tallon up
has been prcfaccd by Il careful study OF
the lifo and contemporaries Gifts author.
Editions without notes, except in tho
case OF Chauccr and Shakespeare, have
been used, III order TO give the pupils
the pleasure and tho profit of discover
ing for themselves tho beauties and
other traits of tho writer's works, and
of exercising their own Judgment in
respect to them. The exercises in tho
class room have consisted in tho cX-
preston of individual thought regard
ing tho reading dono by the pupils in
private.
The work i'll reading has been mado
means Of extending tho acquaintance
Of the pupils with literature Their at
tcntion has been directed TO the life and
literary personality of tho authors.
Tho attempt has not been made TO pro-
luce readers. but tho aim has rather
been to cultivate tho old-fashioncd
art of reading aloud. 1t is al
most a forgotten art in the null
tiplicity of schools OF reading. By
tho modern methods of teaching
thcro arc moro boys and girls now
than formerly who can write good,
Straightforward letter or short and
simple description Of something soon.
But there arc few who read aloud with
intelligence and with charm. Tho
teaching Of English in the Cambridge
school for girls is Of high quality, it is
in line with the most advanced thought
at Harvard concerning the teaching of
English as source of high culture and
tine discipline. There is no danger that
in tho preparatory schools for boys or
for girls the teaching of English will bo
overdonc. Wbilo it Is pleasure to
know that student has fine attain
nents in mathematics or tho classics,
thcro is immediate satisfaction in tho
culture of a young person who can read
nnderstand;ngly our own poets. and his
torians and novelists and cssayists, and
write out suitable expression of the
enjoyment and it's sources in good,
pleasant English sentences Boston
