Rapid Transit in New York.

A school inspector who is rather fond
OF finding fault with the teachers in his
department was visiting one of the
primary public schools, when the female
teacher in charge asked number of
urch1ns the following question, ''Now,
children, if you had boat at Buffalo,
and wanted to get it out on the ocean as
soon as possible, and the distance by
canal to salt water was $50 miles, and
by the st. Lawrence river 1 ,122 miles,
which would be the shorter way to
bring it?" The children were puzzled.
This was rather irritating, in the pres
ence of the inspector. why, you stupid
little things" began the teacher.
lone moment, Miss B, said the
inspector rising. 81 have found that
teachers do not take enough pains to
simplify the questions that they ask of
children. 1t is very important, too.
that analogies should be drawn from
their personal experience. If more pains
were taken in this respect, and an ap-
peal made to the reason of the pupils,
not only yourself, Miss B, but a
great many other teachers would sue

Now, children, it is only two blocks
to the Third avenue elevated road, but
it is eight blocks to the Sixth avenue
road. Now if you wanted to get to an
elevated road in a hurry to which would

Governing Children.

Parents have proudly told me of sick
ening battles with their children. will
pitted against will. till at last the strong
er physique gained the mastery, and the
child's twill was broken" Such vic
tories are worse than defeats. I have
seen father and his little boy stand
pitted against each other, with look in
each face that I could call nothing but
hatred; and when 1 thought of the
power of the one and the helplessness of
the other l could not but admire the
boys pluck. There should be no such
occasions. The parent stands convicted
of utter stupidity in finding himself in
any such situation
There are times when it is wiser for
the parent to ignore some mood on the
child's part. The part of the parent
should be in ever seeking the wise
opportunity to impress the child with
the virtue that is the reverse of
some fault it falls into. Children pass
through various phases, and some dragon
OF fault that one has been worrying
over and planning against suddenly van
lshes into thin air and is no more Some
times one fixes fault by noticing it too
much. 1t becomes an expression of
nervousness. The child repeats fault
through an inability to pass over it. It
becomes like hard word in the spelling
book that he has met before. He recog-
nizes the word without knowing its
name, and at the same moment remem-
bers his struggles with it, and the pain
full impression fills him with nervous
ness, his mind becomes confused and he
cannot control his thought. 1t is wise
with fault, as with the hard word, to
let it go to escape it. Omit the hard
word; avoid anything to excite the ha-
bitual fault. Presently the child for
gets the fault. 1t may be said that in
judicious parents often create their chill
dren's faults.-Harper' Bazar

1t is well to be always polite, but there
are times when it is better to be natural
than to attempt the elaboration of social
courtesies. The safest rule in any case
is to be simple and do the obvious thing;
this will not only be most sincere, but
will often save one from appearing ridic-
ulous
A gentlemen who wished to give pleas
ure to a young lady of his acquaintance,
Hiss Mott, arranged a boating party in
her honor. The guests were chosen with
her approval and everything was done
to her liking.
Unfortunately the wind proved treach-
erous, and about the middle of the day
the party found themselves becalmed on
a sea which rose and fell in the long
ground swell that is sure to prove too
much for all but experienced sailors. It
was not long before most of the party
were i'll, Miss Mott being one of the
first to succumb. She lay in wretched
heap on the deck of the yacht, ref using
to be moved, her hair in disarray and
her whole appearance that of unutter-
able misery
81 am so sorry that you are i'll, Miss
Mott, the host said. ''When T wish to
give you pleasure again 1 will not pro-
pose water party"
With a supreme effort Miss Mott
raised her CHASTITY face, about which the
hair struggled, wet with the sweat of
agony. An attempt at smile showed
itself on her white lips.
''Oh, am having a perfectly lovely
time" she said feebly.
The earnestness with which she spoke
was too much for the gravity of her
companions and, sick or well, they burst
into a laugh, which SO overcame Miss
Mott that she fell to weeping bitter
tears. Companion.

The VaIue of Sleep.

Gen. Lord Wolseley, England's lead
ing soldier, is { man of simple and alb
stemious habits. and is an emphatic
advocate of sleep. When he is his own
master he goes to rest between 10 and
II and is up before 6. He is a sound
sleeper, and can sleep at almost any time
and under any circumstances, which is
no doubt one great secret of success; for
in war, as in politics, the man who can
not sleep might as well retire from the
running. You cannot put in your
time more proftably than in sleeping, :"
Lord Wolseley says, and the saying is
one that may well be taken to heart by
all hard workers. AS long as you can
sleep you can always renew your
strength. It is when sleep fails that
your balance at the bank of life is cut
off.-Best Things.

The Value of Armor in War ships.

The value of armor has been matter
constantly discussed since it's first intro
duction. So long as it remained, as it
did for time, superior to the attack of
the gun its desirabihty was certain, but
when the race began between the two
the gun early seized and maintained the
lead. From that time to the present ad-
vocates of the abolition of armor have
been very numerous. They compare the
state of affairs with that which existed
prior to the disuse of personal armor,
but SO long as armor can be SO arranged
as to protect certain vital points it is
probable that it will be so used. Still
there are some good arguments in sup
port of decuirassement-to use a French
word that is particularly expressive

Tipping Is Economical to Diners.

Systematic tipping of walters pays. A
tip here and there by the occasional pa
tron of restaurants is simply generosity.
The regular tipping of one waiter at one
restaurant, however, is great economy.
When the waiter is sure of the tip the
service is much better, and there are
possibilities in an la carte order which
only the well trained and well tipped
waiter knows.
Go to your regular restaurant with a
friend, and if your purse is small order
a one portion dinner There will be a
few extra oysters, a larger tureen of soup,
the roast will be in two generous slices,
just enough for two throughout. Now
give your waiter a double tip, and the
next time you ask friend to dinner you
will be treated like lords.-New York
