Outwitting the Teacher.

It requires a pretty smart school teacher
nowadays to get any the best Of child.
This was never more fully demonstrated
than it was in one of the Chicago schools
In some of the schools the old fashioned
and unnatural method of teaching free arm
writing is employed, and the children are
obliged to twist their hands unnaturally in
order to obtain the free arm movement. In
order to insure this position the teacher
places small shirt button on the back of
each little hand, as piano teachers some
times place pennies on the backs of their
pupils hands.
This is done to insure the keeping of the
hand in the correct" position, for if tip
ped in the least the button slides off and
thus betrays the erring scholar. This but
ton arrangement is quite tiresome to the
children, and they complain of it at home.
The other afternoon a bright little girl re-
turned from school and said to her mother:
Mother, I kept the button on my hand
nearly all day today" The mother ex-
pressed some surprise at such feat.
"Yes," said the little one; II gummed it on
with piece of my gum. Chicago Herald.

Penalty of Little Nervousness.
Queen Victoria is a great stickler at for
mality; she will not tolerate anything like
breach of custom. The custom is that
whenever the queen visits town she shall,
before leaving that town, knight the mayor
thereof. The form of clubbing knight is
exceedingly simple. The candidate kneels
before her majesty; she asks his name he
gives it simply "Andrew JONES'" OR what
ever it might be: the queen touches him
with a sword and says: "Rise, Sir Andrew
Jones'" On one occasion the queen was
about to knight the mayor of one of the
smaller cities she had been visiting. The
poor fellow was scared almost out of his
wits. He was so nervous that when the
queen asked his name he answered: ''Mr.
Thomas Hopkins" Whereupon her ma
jesty, incensed at this breach of custom
and making no allowance for the poor
mans trepidation, exclaimed: "Rise, Mr.
Thomas Hopkins" and, throwing the
sword aside, sailed Indignantly out of the
room.-Eugene Fields Letter.
