the skirt up the back and make the

dency seems to be to retain the waved
effect as most graceful for top and sides
OF the head, but the thing to strive for
will be curious twists and turns given
to the little curls on the forehead. They
will assume all sorts of attitudes and
inclinations, the object being to impart
an arch and piquant expression to the
face. And last, but far from least, will
come the ever-present sunshade, a

THE extent to which the Boston
school children have to be measured
and weighed and nodded and teAted
in all sorts Of ways to furnish STAINS
tics for one Investigator or anotheM
crank or otherwise, is enough to
move a heart OF stone. However, il
shows how original and scientifically
investigating we are here! The latest,
and to the outside layman the most
droll Of all the things which have
turned up in this line, is the plan of
having a model in wax taken of the
teeth of the children to see whether
they are idiots or not We may not
state this exactly, but the theory is
that the formation of the teeth will
reveal things otherwise inscrutable in
regard to the mental condition Of the
children, and the results will doubtless
be astOnishingly valuable. The diff
Guilty is that this test may reveal the
fact that many children now supposed
to be sane are in reality idiots, and 1t
would seem that this may be the
means of bringing needless sorrow to
respectable and worthy families.
However, science must take its way,
even il it be in the proving that the
children of the public schools are nat
urally idiots without the elaborate
system of instruction which has there
been established for the purpose of
rendering them such.

We always get a foretaste OF June

a reduction OF fully l6 per cent. In
the acreage as compared with last
year is figured out. April is the
month for planting, and though not
yet ended the work has 50 far pro-
gressed as to permit an intelligent
estimate. A smaller acreage is ia
vored by the reduced prices paid for
cotton, and by the advice Of promi-
nent men in the South to grow corn
and other grain on many areas which
have heretofore been devoted ex-
clusively to cotton culture. The fact
that the spring is backward also
tends to reduce the area planted tc
cotton.

ing on the wall near by the niche is a
wreath with card attached bearing
the name OF ~Mme. Talbot Shak-
speare," whom Monsieur Joncieres
puts down as a descendcnt Of tho
bard of Avon. On the wall to the
left is portrait Of Friar Lawrence.
Romeo is buried at Mantua, and 1t
is said that his tomb is in much
better state of preservation than that
of his lady love. 1t Is TO be hoped
that persons who take an interest in
historic Italian monuments will sec to
it that the memory of these two IA
