TEACHING CHILDREN.
There l. Need of Care in Training the
Memory of the Little Men and Women.

There Is Need of Care in Training the
Memory of the Little Men and Women.
We cannot be too careful in teaching chill
dren to discriminate between real memory
Imagination and guessing Attach no pen
atty to excuSable ignorance, but frown upon
the putting forth of guesSes for truth.
The memory sometimes acts spontaneously,
and sometimes it is influenced by the will
Memory should act spontaneously in the case
of recalling common words as the signs of
ideas, in the case of the tables III arithmetic
the photography of common words the Inu.
seal tones in the scale and other necessary
facts of common life The memory should be
taxed in this way only toa limited extent In
many cases we should furnish the mind with
only the means of recall and recognition
That the sum of seven and eight aud five is
twenty, is a case i'll point.
The will has only an indirect control over
the memory. 1t can detain an idGl known
10 be related to what we wish 10 remember;
and in this way secure the recall and rccog-
milton Of what is desired.
The qualities of Il good memory are facility
of impression, great retcmtive power, ana
readiness i'll the recovery Of Whatever has
been sufficiently impressed. The latter quail
ity may often be improved by making ear
nest demands upon tn" memory to act quickly:
as in addition, by requiring the pupil to state
results as soon as obtained.
There are two types of memory, the cir
cumstantial and the philOsophic. The former
recalls ideas in the relation of cOntiguity. 1t
pictures objects as they exist in space and
events as they occur III time. The latter re-
calls ideas in the relations of similarity, CON
trast and causation. 1t recalls classes and
systems and causes and effects This kind OF
memory presupposes knowledge of the re
membered relations.
The circumstantial memory is developed
first; and the philosophic memory has stages
of its development corresponding to the rela
tiOns in which ideas are recalled. Objects are
first remembered as they exist in time and
space, then as similar, next as cOntrasted, and
finally as casually related This order can
not be reversed or changed All teaching
should correspond to this law.
The conditions favorable to good memory
are learning with attention and interest, q
repetition of tho process under favoring con,
ditioRs of body and mind, a systematic
arrangement of ideas and the habit of stating
the truth with exactnesS.-JOurnal of Edu

Children That Tease.

1t is a misfortune to a child to suppose that
teasing is essential to gaining a point that he
ought 10 gain. A result of such view in his
mind is that he looks not to his parents wis.
dom and judgment bat to his own positive
ness and persitency as the guile of his action
in any nooted csse of personal conduct; not
to principles which are disclosed to hir, by
one who is in authority, but to impulse
which are wholly in his own bosom Such c
view is inimcal to all wise methods of think
ing and doing on childs part. And it l.
even more Of 8 misfortune to the parent thar
to the child for q child to have the idea thai
the parents decision is the result of the
child's teasing, rather than that Of the pa
rents understanding of what is right and
best in given case No parent can have the

knows that he can tease that parent int
compliance with the child's request contrary

Shutting Ont Drafts.

In almost every kitchen there are drafts
from the cracks between the bottom of the
doors and the ioor The cod air passing
over ones feet Oh a freezing day soon chills
them, and this should he avoided. To pro
tect the Kitchen from these drafts, tack a
strip of old carpet Brussels, being stiff, is
beS0 scross the bottom of each door Cut
the carpet four and half inches wide, and
two inches longer than the width of the deor
OH which it is to he fastened, SO that the car
pet may extend An inch beyond the door on
each side.
Tack the strip OF carpet across the bottom
of tho door, placing the carpet so that half OF
its width will lie on the floor while the other
half is attached to the door 1t is not neceS
5ary to have the tacks near together; place
them three inches apart in a straight line
near the top Of the carpet. If these carpet
capes are fastened on all the doors in the kitch-
en-, the room will be far more comfortable
and pleasant. The carpet should always be
tackled on the inside of the door, that it may
not interfere with the opening and closing OF
tho door. Montreal Star.

The Jacqueminot is n trihc more fanciful
i'll origin. An irate father slew the lover of
his daughter, upon which she died of broken
heart. There was a clump of Louis Quin2e
roses growing by the seat where the lovers
were when the general found them These
rose bushes were red with the youths blood
and the girls father ordered them cut away.
Tho next spring green shoots grew from the
roots again, and one day the gardener said:
Monsieur, will you come into the garden
There is miracle to be seem"
Truly it seemed miracle had been
wrought. One splendid stem had grown up,
and on it was bud, half opened. 1t was not
pale pink, as the parent had been, but a
cardinal, velvcty red-a royal rose, full OF
grace and beauty.
The man who had never ninched at the
charge Of the wild Arab when he rode side
by side with kleber, and stood the shock of
ten of the Hungarian and Polish lancers put
his hands to his eyes and wept like boy, and
the old gardener turned his face away that
he might not see the others grief, while he
softly whispered a prayer for the soul that
had gone to God.
Shall cut it down, my MASTER: said the
old man softly after few minutes of silence.
''NO: it is the flower Of God and let it
grow"
1t grew and iouriShed, and this is the story
told of the origin of the queen of roses which

Dressing by Machinery.

had heard 1t related, says Nine Carette
in My Mistress, the Empress Eugene, D" that
owing to the empress serious illness after the
birth of the prince imperial, it was contrived
for her robes TO descend from the ceiling in
such way that when she was placed under
the apparatus her dress and her pettcoatS,
which were then worn to fill out her skirts,
We're put on at the same time, just as if all
were done by a fairy wand.
But the following will explain matters:
The first time that had occasion to assist at
the empress toilet, which afterwards hap
pened frequently, saw n small lift" de
Sccnd which had been concealed in the rose
worI; of the ceiling and communicated with
the chambers of the empress.
On it were the dresses required by the EN-
press, and this contrivance prevented the
continual going and coming on the small
staircase, which was 50 narrow that the tot
lets would have been limp and rumpled if
brought that way. On seeing this lift de-
scend for the first time burst out laughing,
and related To the empress the absurd story
that had been told me.
The empress was very much amused, and
remarked how fertile publication nnagina-
ton was when it wished to invent anything
relating to persOnages III high positions; and
how little may give rise to quite ridiculous
and false legends. Thanks to the lift and
to a speaking tube that communicated with
the chambers, the business of the empress
toilet was executed quickly and without i'll

WOMAN is THE HIGHEST.
Somewhere have heard this adage,

Somewhere have heard this adage,
And think it is a true one:
ut takes much TO make lady,
It takes more TO make a woman"
Ladies' with their studied graces,
Ladies with their snow white hands,
Delicate and clear cut faces,
Ladies high and ladies grand,
Clothed in velvet, robed in laces,
Much too fine for common touch,
Crowned and decked with pearls and rubies
Not true woman, Overmuch
Shallow, vain and superficial;
There are thousands simply human
Worthy Of the name of lady,
Scarcely worth the name of woman
Not for them the grand creations
OF a glorious wOmanhoOd;
Not for them the high ideals
Only soul hath understood;
Not for them the lofty mountains
Rising DER life's desert waste;
They have eaten Dead Sea apples,
Let them pail upon their taste.
Woman mounting slowly upward.
Pure and steadfast, modest, swe"t
As the violets, which are blOomi ts
In some shaded, cool retreat;
Woman reaching out strong tendris,
Earnest in the walks of life,
Treading in the path of duty
Through temptation, care and strife;
Women in the garb of patience
Standing where the tried have stood;
Breaking bread for questioning spirits
Wearing crown Of motherhCod;
Woman delving, sculpturing, carving,
Making still this adage true one:
st takes much to make laI'T.
1t takes more To make a wO. Jan"
Let the fires of fate burn higher,
Well. who cares? On downy bed
Sleeps the lady, but the woman
Walks the earth with stronger tread.
Vital are the latent forces
Which are tried, the pearls lie deep,
And they win who stem the courses
And who climb the mountain steep,
Write upon the heart this adage,
For we know it is true one:
1T takes much to make lady,
1t takes more to make a woman

In my life have known many women well.
Among them is a fair majority of what the
truly appreciative would call happy, for
which fact thank God, as it has helped me
to take, on the whole, a hopeful view Of life,
as we'll as human nature. Now, are those
women, blessed as many Of them are with de-
voted husbands cheerful homes, cultivated
society, and leisure for the exercise of any
special talent they may possess, beautiful
womeni With one or two exceptions no.
Indeed, more than few of them are posi-
lively plain, if feature only is considered,
while from the rest can single out but two
or three whose faces and figures conform to
any of the recognized standards of physical
perfection. But they are loved, they are
honored, they are deferred to. While not
eliciting the admiration of every passer by,
they have acquired through the force, the
sweetness, or originality of their character,
the appreciation of those whose appreciation
confers honor and happiness, and, conse-
quently, their days pass in an atmosphere of
peace and good will which is as far above the
ielirious admiration accorded to the simply
beautiful, as the placid shining Of the sun
beam is to the phenomenal blaze of an evan
escent Aame-Anna Katharine Green in
