STUDY OF ENGLISH.
How to Extend the Acquaintance of Stu
dents with Standard Literature.

How to Extend the Acquaintance of Stu
dents with Standard Literature.
Critical study of English is still mos
infrequent in our preparatory schools.
1t is not always the fault of the crowded
little comprehension of the inspiration
and beauty of language. Literature is
still to many girls and boys dry sub
ject to be got tn rough in a prescribed
number of hours. Reading and writing
are the last enemies to be overcome, OF
to be lodged as one may, instead of the
best and simplest friends one can have,
to be grappled to the soul with hoops of
custom and continuing habit The work
of preparation in English at the Cam
bridge school, where girls are fitted for
Harvard studies, is complete and inter-
esting, full of suggestion for students
and for teachers of literature. The
object has been to create an appre-
citation of English writings as an ex
preston of life, rather than as an
illustration of literary forms. Each
literary work as it has been taken up
has been prefaced by a careful study of
the life and contemporaries of its author.
Editions without notes, except in the
case of Chaucer and Shakespeare, have
been used, in order to give the pupils
the pleasure and the profit of discover
ing for themselves the beauties and
other traits of the writer's works, and
of exercising their own Judgment in
respect to them. The exercises in the
no n
preston of individual thought regard
ing the reading done by the pupils in
private.
The work in reading has been made
a means of extending the acquaintance
of the pupils with literature. Their at
tention has been directed to the life and
literary personality of the authors.
The attempt has not been made to pro.
duce readers, but the aim has rather
art of reading aloud. 1t is al
most forgotten art in the null
tiplicity of schools of reading. by
the modern methods of teaching
there are more boys and girls now
than formerly who can write good,
straightforward letter or short and
simple description of something seen.
But there are few who read aloud with
intelligence and with charm. The
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 CT
English as source of high culture and
fine discipline. There is no danger that
in the preparatory schools for boys or
for girls the teaching of English will be
overdone. While it is pleasure t
know that a student has fine attain
ments in mathematics or the classics,
there is immediate satisfaction in the
culture OF a young person who can read
Understandings our own poets. and his
torians and novelists and essayists, and
write out suitable expression of the
enjoyment and its sources in good,
pleasant English sentences. Boston

A Milking Device.

The air is swarmlng with flies, bring
ing return of the vexations with
which mixers are all so familiar. The
plan shown does not mean that one has
to hitch the cow by the tail to hold her
while he milks. The device is designed
to be used in the stables to keep the
cows tail out of the pail and out of the
mixers face, which is usually the Sec
ond place she wishes to put it. 1t is
made of small piece Of hickory with a
long. deep notch sawed in one end. A
clinched nail or screw keeps it from
splitting further. The long hair or
brush of the tail is slipped between
the prongs, and the ring is slipped over
the ends, thus securely fastening it.

stake. The plants need not be more
than three feet apart in the row. When
in full growth, and loaded with fruit in
all stages of development, a row of to-
mato plants thus trained will always
attract attention, and may prove one Of
the sights of the garden.
Other simple styles of trellis are
shown in Figures 2 and 8. The former
is made by setting three stakes, five or
six feet high, in circle around each
plant, and fastening few barrel hoops
to them as shown in engraving. The
other consists of two uprights, and
three or four cross sticks or Stats nailed
to them. There are many other ways
of making simple trellises: and the
gardener may use whatever his own
fancy or ingenuity may dictate.-Popu-
lar Gardening.

Peter Martyr (s'Sommario DELI Indie
Occidentale'') and Ramusio ("Hist. dele
Indie') and many others describe the
rain tree on the Isle of Ferro. John
Cockburn GA Journey Overland from
the Gulf of Honduras" 1885, describes
an enormous weeping tree near the
mountains of Vera Pas. in Central
America. The leaves are young, and in
summer the tree weeps all day from the
end Of every leaf, even after six
months drought, converting the ground
near it into swamp. Spence describes
the Tamii-caspi, weeping tree of Peru;
but he declares that a species of cicada
causes the rain, and that almost any
tree may be converted into weeping
tree by insects feeding on it's leaves.
The literature Of weeping trees is enor-
nous, and much of it is plainly my Thu
cal; but there is large basis of fact on
which it rests.-American Notes and
Queries.

QUEER CHARACTERS.

Things Seen and Heard by Detectives in
Large City Hote:s.
Hotel detectives run across some rare
specimens of human nature and human
weakness. One of the best known
and shrewdest of the profession is Max
Phillips, who looks after the interests
of the Fifth Hotel and it's guests, wh:o
sees some queer specimens. He was
pointing one of them out to me som
time ago.
You see that old man coming in
the door," he said, as he pointed to \
tall, elderly man, with a patriarchal
beard; Just watch him for few min
ute 81
The old gentleman walked slowly
through the corridors into the reading
room, and looked around till he saw n
chair in which a guest had left a news
paper Tho old man walked over, picked
it up, sat down and commenced reading.
After few minutes he slowly folded it
up, put it in his pocket furtively, and
moved away.
That old gentleman" the detective
continued, seems to have mania fol
old newspapers. I've seen him get away
with three or four in an evening. He
never speaks to any one, never takes
any thing else, and troubles no one: but
he goes for an old ne wspaper of any sort
like duck for June bug. Every night,
month in and month out, he shows up
here and goes through the same pro-
graInme.
1--WE do have visitors who don't con-
fine themselves to newspapers. A few
nights ago middle-aged black-beardeG
man came in. didn't like his appear
ance, and kept my eyes open. He
walked into the bar-room and sat down
by the cigar counter and commenced
smoking u cigarette. Theirs were not
many people in the bar-room, and the
clerk at the cigar counter was sitting
down at the other end of the counter
from the man. st cd in the door, just
where he couldn't see me. He looked
around in sneaking way, then reached
over to light his cigarette, and, as he
Strengthened up, slipped the nickel
plated cigar-clip under his coat. Pretty
quick he got up to walk out l tapped
him on the shoulder, and told him to
put that cigar-clip back. He stopped a
minute, then took it out from under
his coat and gave it to me. Then he
had the nerve to tell me that he runs
jewelers. shop in Brooklyn and took
the clip to fix the spring. Hotel de-
tectives have to keep their eyes open
all the time for sneak thieves and to
protect the guests. If they didn't, a
guest could hardly get in through the
bunco steerers and confidence men, who
now give the big hotels pretty wide
berth. IN. Y. Star.

will increase the amount OF crop to the
full extent of paying for material and
erection of trellis, while the better
quality of the fruit resulting from such
treatment will be clear gain. The
trellis consists simply of row of
stakes at reasonable distance apart on
each side of the row of plants, and
strands of wire strung along the posts,
at say eight inches apart from each
other. A more detailed description
was furnished us by Mr. Stahl, but our
