to get somebody to take care of them.
Instead of that, the first lesson should
be how, under God, they may take care
of themselves. The simple fact is that
a majority of them do have to take care
of themselve ); and that, too, after having
through the false notions Of their par

ought to have learned how succ ssf lily
to maintain themselves. 1t is iEhuman

We should teach our daughters that
work of any kind, when necessary, is a

for a young woman, belonging to large
family, to be inefficient when the father

support. It is a shan for daughter

strawnerry .Leaf-RIIatf1:

It Is known that this disease usually
causes the greatest injury by attacking
the new growth which appears directly
after the new fruit Is harvested A
this period the old leaves contain in
Vulnerable spores, aud it Is these that
infect the young leaves. To prevent
this the practice of burning over the
plants Just after the fruit is gathered
has been: followed with success, the
young plants usually. starting up and
growing thrifty after thes treatment.
The complete destruction Of the old
leaves is usually effected .bt first now
ing the plants; allowing the foliage to
dry dsy or two and then burning.
Last year an experiment was made by
Colonel Pearson, with. o view to deter
mine the effect OF spraying the foliage
with a strong solution Of sulphuIic acid
Several rows Of strawberry plants. badly
infested viii. leaf-hlight, we're sprayed
with a solution made by mixing one
pint of sulphuric acid with six gallons
Of water, the application being made
soon after the fruit was harvested As
a result OF this spraying the old leaves
were as effectuafly destroyed as if they
had been burnt with fire, and two weeks
later the plants had started. up fresh
and green. On the 18th of September
the difference between the treated and
untreated points was quite striking.
The sprayed rows were fresh and green,
while adjoining unsprayed plants left
for control were badly bhghted. Where
one has suitable spraying pump il
| would doubtless be economy to adop,
this method Of destroying the old
plants rather than the plan Of moving
and burning with fire.

Scholastic Hints.

CIearness Of thought and expression
are always at q premium:
Don't forget to use the newspaper az
an occasional reading exercise.
It is much easier to discipline ;whey
you are directly in front of the class.
A child's questions are the best indi.
cation of his tendency to think or not
to think for himself.
Have the courage to be Independent
in any specific method when you are
confident you are right.
The high school should establish the
habits and train in the methods followed
in the highe.t inquiries after scientific
truth.
The principles of thinking, which are
to common life what sxioms are to ma
thematics, should be well Taught and
thoroughly appreciated. z.:
In the news of.the day, the news OF the
week and the school reading OF the
newspaper distinguish sharply between
the vital and the sensational
Respect for the wisdom Of the ages is
an important characteristic OF teacher
or pupil; but disrespect for the best
wisdom of the day is not creditable.
The first work in every lesson should
be to start the class In some genuine
thinking, Every word, look and act
should be focused,for thought activity
On the part of the class.
1t is not often that good results are
obtained from keeping pupils after
school. There are teachers who can
make it serviceable for discipline and
inspiration, but, they are rare. eas

with a wooden bowlful of reindeer's

The milk T found to be too thick and
rich to drink much of. A sugar LOAF

cepted them with my poitest smile,
accompanied by bow, but when I
proceeded to sugar to my coffee IN the
orthodox style, the action caused much
amusement to the juvenile Lapps,
who roared with laughter, and appeared
to enjoy the fun immensely. [ found
that 1 ought to have eaten the sugar
separately, as they did, and they eyi-

ing coffee 1nexpresslbly funny.
Cakes were then served to each one.
These were about the s1ze of a penny
bun, but OF the consistency of putty or
dough, which they somewhat resemble
in appearance. Sour cream was eaten
with them. So nasty were they that 8

glad to smuggle the remainder under

ian paper:
sThe patrol, which,. since 1871, has
been marching four times day-or
rather every evening-from the Mont
Valer1an tort to the Suresnes railway
station, now only goes once. The
change has been made recently. The
story of this patrol is curious one. In
1871 council of war was sitting at
Mount Valerien. On their way from
the Suresnes station to the citadel-a
distance Of about haIf-a-mle-a few
officers were insulted and roughly
treated. This was in the evening. An
order was Immediately issued that every
day after nightfall four men and cor

meet every train coming from Paris, to
render assistance to officers in case OF
need and to enforce the respect due to
their epaulets. Sc, for the:last seventeen

in hand, have walked to and from the
station every night. winter and sum

over again, who had been posted by
the side of newly painted seat in a
public garden, to warn the public
against sitting on it, and who was kept
there for twenty years.
ssThe Russian army has similar ira

officer of the guard had fallen. in love
with Catherine of Russia without daring
to tell her the fact. One day as the

They were fond Of roast pig. One OF

the hollow, and the result was plaster
fac-simile of the little animal, which
was scientifically trussed, and appears
to be about ready to serve.
