The Pasha and His watch.

On the occasion of the Empress
Eugenie's visit to Cairo in 1869, Nubar
Pasha was presented by Napoleon
III. with valuable watch richly set
with diamonds. This watch he was
in the habit Of laying before him on
the table during the meetings of the
council which were generally held In
the evening, At one of the sittings
the electric light suddenly went out.
When 1t was turned on again Nubar's
watch had disappeared. The Pasha
scrutinized the faces of his colleagues
one after the other, but not one
WINGED under his gaze. At length he
said: Gentlemen, the watch that,
according to my custom, i had lying
here before me, has been removed.
The door is locked on the inside,
nobody has entered the room In the
meantime and nobody has gone out.

bad joke or a fit OF abstraction on
the part of one OF you gentlemen. /
will now turn out the light once
more, feeling convinced that when II
is turned on again the watch will be
found In the usual place." The light
was then put out When it shone
brightly minute later, not only
was the place where the watch had
lain still vacant but Nubar's be-
jeweled inkstand, a present from
Victor Emmanuel, had also vanished.

Home-Made Apparatus.

A set Of language tablets will provide
useful and entertaining busy-work for
pupils in the lower primary grades.
The aim in the use of these tablets is
simply to teach the names of familiar
objects and the correct use of these
words In sentences. The material
needed in their preparation will be a
quantity of cardboard or stiff paper
cardboard is preferable, because it lasts
longer) and a number of small pictures;
those furnished by newspaper advertise
ments will be suitable for this purpose.
In selecting, the teacher should endeavor
to choose pictures that represent famil-
lar objects. She should use only those
that will harmonize perfectly with the
results she Is aiming to obtain by the
use of this device.
The next step will be to cut the card
board or paper into small sheets. Eight
by five inches is very good size for this
work. On the upper half of each sheet
place picture leaving a narrow margin
at the top and equal spaces at the right
and left. The remaining part of the
tablet is to be devoted to writing and
should be lined to correspond exactly
with papers and states. This will insure
accuracy on the part Of the pupils. The
name OF the object, preceded by the in
definite article should be written on the
first line. Following this should come
several simple sentences I'm each Of
which the name should be used in con-
nection with familiar idiom. The
same idiom should not be used twice.
The remaining space on the tablet
should be used for elliptical sentences.
AS it is the teachers aim in this work to
teach the correct use of the word that
has Just been introduced, a number of
these sentences should be 80 arranged
that the new word can be used in filling
the blanks.
When the tablet is given to the child,
the teaching tells him that just below
the picture, he will find its name. He is
directed to look at it closely, and write
it on his own paper, also copy carefully
the following sentences and wherever he
finds an omission to supply, IL posi-
BILE, the name on the first line. After
this work has been completed it will be
well to have the children go over their
papers and underline the word where
ever it Is found: This will enable the
pupil to fix more definitely in his mind
the form that he has just learned

scrap Booh. for country SCHOOLS.

AS you are to teach geography and
history and as a rule will have no refer
ence books, you should make Mt least
three. II you have any money for this
purpose, buy three large invoice books
from book store. If no funds are
available, you can probably secure from
some patrons some old reports from
some of the State or national depart
ments. From these cut out every sec
ond and third leaf, FASTING your scraps
on the remaining pages. Or you can
buy regular scrap book from a store.
Use one book for geography, including
descriptive, physical, and mathematical,
another for civics, history, and civil gov
eminent, not only Of the United States
but OF all things bearing upon its his
tory and government, and another for
general information.
Now, when we have the books and
paste or mucilage, of course, the real
work begins. Do not undertake to fill
the books at once. Sift everything care
fully. Envelopes may be kept In the
desk, properly labeled. and the pasting
the matter accumulate too fast. The
book can be filed up with newspaper
clippings and with written matter CLEANED
from valuable books and magazines.
The patent insides Of most country
papers contain much valuable matter for
all these books. You need not take all
of an article, but omit paragraphs that
are not pertinent. It might be well to
make an outline on the board designating
the subjects on which you want clippings,
and each pupil can be requested to
watch the papers and magazines for
material for the scrap books. You will
soon have three valuable reference

The Portland Vase.

The Portland Vase was found in the
Sixteenth century inclosed in marble
sarcophagus, in the sepulchral chamber
called Monte del Grano, on the road from
Rome to Frascati. 1t was formerly sup
posed that it was formed of a single pre-
cious stone; but it was afterward found
that this was not the fact. An author
ity, telling of how this wonderful work
was done, says: The first place among
these processes in which one color was
super-imposed OH another may be given
to that by which the cameo glass was
produced. In this bubble of Opaque
white glass was formed at the end of the
tube used by the glassblower; this was
coated with transparent blue, ana that
again with opaque white, and the vessel
required was formed from this threshold
globe. The outer coat was then remov-
ed from that portion which was to consti-
tute the ground, leaving the white for
the figures, foliage or other ornamental
dion; these were then sculptured by
means of the gem engruver's tools. The
famous Portland vase is the finest exam
pie of this kind of work which has come
down to us, and was entire until il was
broken into some hundred pieces by a
drunken medical student some years ago.
The pieces. however, were joined to-
gether by Mr.. Doubleday with extra
ordinary skill, and the beauty of design
and execution may still be appreciated
almost us we'll as when 1t was intact.
A letter written by Wcdgewood in 1856
to Sir William Hamilton has been pub
lished in the life of the former by Miss
Meteyard, which contains some interest.
ing remarks upon this beautiful work OF
art. He concludes with the assertion,
Il do not think f25 900 for the execution
of such vase, surprising our best ar
lists capable of such work, would be
at all equal to their gains from the
works they are now employed in: 1t is
true that the gem cngravers OF that day
received very high pay for their work"
