INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS.
Some Surprislng Replies to Their Exsmi-
nation Papers.
GRoston Commonwealth


Some time ago a little book with the
title English as She Is Taught" was
Issued by one OF the largest publishing
houses. It's unconscious wit surpassed
the effort Of those who would be witty.
Some, indeed, thought 1t the work of
a great genius in humor. But the book
was what it claimed to be-answers
given by the children Of our common
schools to questions put to them at ex-
aminations.
While the writer was one OK the eH-
aminers for teachers for--ccunty, in
the State o., he, on examining the
papers sent in by would-be teachers,
found answers which equal those OF
"English as She Is Taught" Thus:
Q.-What invention aided in max
ing possible the discovery Of America?
A.-The invention of the steam boat.
Q.-Name five of the most proml-
nent cities OF the Northwest, and state
the cause OF the Importance of each?
A.-LaCrosse, Fondulac, Milwaukee,
Racine, Cincinuaii. All but Cincin-
Dati are noted for tbeir waller works.
Q.-What were some ofthe principal
causes OF the America Revolution :?
a.-The opposing principals OF pop
liar aud sristratic government Were at
the bottom of all.
Q.-Name five countr es represented
in the All-American Congress.
A.-Japan, France, England, Ven
ezulia, GautanIalia.
Q.-Why have the inha bitants OF
the poisr region six ,uouths Of Gay and
six months of night?
A.-The earth revolves slowly at the
polls, the earth being smaller at that
point.
Another gave this answer:
A.-The earth revolving on i,s axis
only reaches them once year.
And another gave this answer:
A.-Because it is 80 far from the
centre of the earth that the sun is on
the other side of the world six months.
Q.-Whatis diphthong?
A.-A sound produced by the vocal
organs is diphthong.

l the suteo al 1tiqo1y The cause. 1t
IL go was found hdsany staples, such Is
ctors pota1sahagar, cane and melons were
ch>a4erted into intoxicating drinks. Be
cause Of this abundance Of liquor many
Of his subject* developed into topers
and idlers. AS natural consequence
there were uncultivated fields, weed
grown plantations and general i'm
poverishment. This discovery led to
the issuance Of a decidedly unique pro-
hibition decree. It provided that if
any of his subjects converted food
product of any description into an in
toxicating liquor or drink it he should
be fined 81 for the first ofense, which
amount should be doubled foc every
repetition. Should the maker Of such
an intoxicaut give it to a neigbbor, or
any of his friends or acquaintances, or
even to stranger, he was to be sub
iected to a similar fine. The drinker
was also included in the same category
as the maker, andthe same penalty was
provided for his offense.
Iffrom lack Of funds, the trans
gressor OF this law was unable to pay
the fine, he was to be given achance to
nquidate 1t with produce raised by his
own hands. In default Of this, he was
to be allowed to pay it in labor, this
being proportionate to the amount OF
the fine. Upon failure to meet the OBJ
legation in any Of these ways named,
then the fine was to be increased, and
the law-breaker confined in irons for
period specified by the king, who was
to be guided in the imposition Of such
punishment by the euorlnity Of the Of
fense.
The strict inforcement Of this law
had most salutary effect on the ma
tiyes, for in the course Of few years
his majesty had the satisfaction Of
knowing that the use Of food staples as
basis for intoxicants bacame, so to
speak, a thing Of the past, and the
prosperity of his subjects was once more
assured.
