Thc Eye I'm Teaching.

The eye Of the teacher has m influ-
encc that he cannot over-estimate. Ii
Is of the utmost importance that he
train himself To look the school squarely
In the eye, that he SO command "a view
Of the school that whenever any child
looks mp he may meet the eye of the
teacher. The place for the teacher.
almost invariably, Is at his desk with
his face To the school rs whole.
There Is rarely any excuse for the
teacher to have his back TO any pupil
In the room. In doing blackboard
work he is tempted To stand with his
back TO the school, but the occasions
for this are not numerous.
The object ia facing the school is not
primarily for the sake of discipline.
though IL has this for its aim second
arily. IL Is largely because the eye Is
the most economical force to use in
commanding attention. Attention the
teacher must have; he cannot command
u by any order issued or rule laid
down. Ii must be won by the teacher,
and IL must be won by the exercise of
some force. The play OF the voice Is
one of the forces. but this requires
energy Of mind, expenditure OF nerve
force. Physical activity may secure it.
as may personality in physical sympa-
thyi but these are naturally exhaustive.
keenness OF intellect, brightness of wit
may hold the attention. but this con-
slant draft In its way. While the
teacher needs, by way of variety. all of
these resources. that which Is the most
economical Is the eye. The teacher
can put more life, energy. and person
atty into the eye with less draft upon
intellect or nerve force than in any
other way. IL Is study to know how
TO DO II. IL Is high art to do IL. Great
skill Is required, but II pays a hundred

A Judge had overruied n motion OF
Counselor Carney. ono OF the best
known lawyers OF the ST. Louis bar.
The counselor Is usually most respect
full TO the court. but he lost his temper
this time and declared In his broad

..Your honor / hope your honor's
honor that 10 will never be noIsed
abroad TO your honor's hurt that this
honorable court ever made ruling so

"No; she has no voice." said uncle
Archie simply.

inconsequent manner. and he turned
his eyes quickly from my uncle TO Es-

rent forward, resting both arms on

tremor in his voice

WESTMINSTER'S DAY.

The complete and happy manner in
which Westminster accomplished last
week the dedication of her attractive new
town hall was something in which the
people of the pleasant old town may well
take pride. Westminster is rich in local
history, rich in sons and daughters capa-
BILE of approaching and celebrating it and
the selection of the orator to deliver the
dedicatory address was an evidence of
this fact. In her quiet intervales and on
her prosperous farms ever since the old
colonial days men and women have been
reared who have maintained the intelli-
gence and dignity of their community at
home, or carried its fame abroad, and al
ways community's best and most en-
during monuments are in the hearts of
its children. The large gathering at the
dedication bespoke the loyalty of the
people of Westminster to their town and
to the historic traditions of its sturdy
founders, which it is to be hoped will be
ever upheld.
May the new, hall long stand as a
pleasant memorial of pleasant and sig
niticant occasion in the history of the
town.

PRO BONO PUBLICO.

The question has been seriously raised
by some of our great metropolitan daily
contemporaries whose mission it is to
discuss only vital questions bearing upon
human welfare-is ''la grippe an arts

instanced of train on the PENNSYLVANIA
road in which, out of SO Pullman passen-
gers 81 were found to be afflicted while in
the common coaches only II out of IS
had received a visitation from the for
eigner. This question has seemed to be
so fraught with consequence to many
people that we have bestowed upon it
patient and thorough investigation. 1t
is well to explain also, in order that what
we say may bear the stamp of indisput-
able authority, that we have within the
past few days had protracted interview
with "la grippe itself, determined to
obtain information at first hand, with the
accuracy which usually characterizes the
columns of the Times. Here then is the

Just when to look for his arrival. How
ever, there need be little worry on this
point for when our friend comes ("la
grippe is almost everybody's friend
now) you will know it, and if you
haven't prepared for a visitor it will
make little difference for he will make
himself very much at home. A condition
not theory, will confront you-a bad
condition, too.
No, the grip will not slight you be-
cause you do not wear upon the left

nor will that blue ribbon be any protec-
ton against his advances. He is demo-
crat of the democrats and his love for all

right on this momentous question, even
at the cost of much time and trouble.

An Old-Fashioned Girl.

"I've been watching an 'old-fashioned
girl for quite long while," says a
writer in the Fitchburg Sentinel, "and
want to tell you something about her.
Her dresses, ETC., were made in mod
ern style: but, bless you, she is so old
fashioned that she arose in the morning
when her mother did, helped set the table
neatly, and cooked one or two dishes
daintily her own self.
"She had graduated yet she did not
think because of that fact that the
kitchen was not good enough for her.
Oh, no. She was so much behind the
times that she actually washed the
dishes, made her bed, busted, and then
began preparation for the pudding for
dinner. Now, wasn't she absurd. when
she, following the accustomed ruD
should have been lying on the sofa with
the latest novel in her hand, and her pug
dog beside her? When her little brother
came in crying because his kite was
broken, instead of calling him 'horrid
boy as it is the fashion to do in some
homes she helped with her own hands to
mend it. How could she be in such a
small business?
AFTER dinner had been cleared away,
she produced small work basket, and
proceeded to mend the family stockings.
Shocking! After her task was com
pleted, she accompanied her mother on
shopping expedition; and, although she
met many fine looking gentlemen, she
did not flirt with any of them, for, don't
you know, she was so antiquated she
would have been shocked at the idea.
AS if it was not elevating to the intellect
to be on the watch for some masculine
person to fascinate!
''The girl of whom l am telling you
was pretty looking, with bright, fresh
color in her face, brought on by plenty
of exercise in the open air and kitchen.
But | cannot begin to tell you half this
queer girl did; for, you know, she was
so old fashioned that she did whatever
good deed came into her heart to do and
her heart was such an antique affair that
only pure noble thoughts entered it.
Her home was made bright and sunny
by her presence and yet she was not so
perfect that she died young Oh, no.
She lives to-day, a girl who has mo
secrets from her MOTHER
