EDUCATION AT HOME.

The German Froebel was the great
apostle of the kindergarten, a word
which means literally a garden of chill
dren, where young human beings are
cared for as plants are cared for, that
their growth may be symmetrical, and
that the ripened fruits of character
may appear in due time, writes Caro-
line LIE Bow in the March Ladies' Home
Journal. He saw that the infant made
constant use of it's eyes; desired to use
its legs and arms, and had a disposition
to play; that with the first indication
of intelligence it showed curiosity, and
that its first connected words @ in
the form of questions 1t is because
his system of education is based upon
these facts of the child's natural I'm,
folding that it has proved itself to be
the best, and, indeed, the only proper
training for young children.

her haste, however, the young woman
stumbled.
Quick" cried Luella-" quick3
What's the matter with youF"
I'm afraid 1 have sprained my
ankle" walled poor Dorothy, growing
white and sick. "Oh, Luella, wait"
And that was all she remembered.
Diamonds, my dear-diamondsf"
echoed Aunt Rhoda. Just cut glass,
and nothing more. Bright pebbles that
one can pick up anywhere"
But Mrs. Dixon-"stammered
Dorothy.
Don't talk, dear" said Aunt Rhoda,
with a wave of her hand. Ralph
made me promise not to let you get
excited. But 1 think it's best to tell
you the whole story at once. They've
cut and run, the lot of 'em-Dixon and
his wife, that Sazeda fellow and all.
They palmed off a lot of those false
jewels on people who supposed they
were buying struggled diamonds, and
the ship was found deserted the next
day. Where did we find you2 Why,
fainting away all alone on the dock
steps. 1 had followed you. I had
come in that morning, and was in the
uex5 bedroom all the time that woman
was putting her falsehoods down your
throat.
"And 1 knew, in Ralph's absence,
that it was my business to look after
you. Bridget was with me, and
together we got you home. Much
that other woman cared whether you
lived or died! She has left you to your
fate. No, .Dotty, no; don't look so
grievedI 1t was a false step, but the
Lord has mercifully preserved you,
and now we'll wipe off the old scores
and begin again"
And Dorothy had just enough
strength left to press her lips to Aunt
Rhoda's withered hand.
"Ralph," she said, when she was
quite recovered, eff ever you are able
to buy me any jewels"
(Which I certainly shall do, Dot,
one of these days." he gaily inter
rumpted.
Don't let them be diamonds. I
hate diamonds! I never want to see
one again. Turquoises, amethysts,
whatever else you please, but not dia-
mondsI"
"Well it shall be as you please, "
said Ralph. Your bright eyes, love,
are all the diamonds l wantr'
"Oh, Ralph" sobbed Dorothy, chow
good you are to me! How 1--we you"

HE S SURE.
Hard Work to Make up His Mind.

HaTa Work TO MAKE up his Mind.
A clergyman was telling anecdotes
of incidents in his early life as a pastor.
One of them was about marriage cere-
mony which he once performed. A
young man of the country district
came to the pastor one day.
Il want to get married." he said;
and I guess I've got about as good a
woman as there is around this part of
the State. Can you marry us9"
The clergyman.thoughtthat he could,
and so the young nan went away and
soon returned with his bride. They
both took the affair very cody, and
when the ceremony was over the bride
groom took the clergyman aside.
81 do not want to drive a bargain at
a time like this" he said; "but of
course I ain'C sure that this marriage
business is going to prove all that l
expect of it. How would half cash
now, one fourth in one month, and the
rest in two months, after 1 have had a
fair chance to see if 1 got a good bar
gain, suit you7"
Well" said the pastor, eff that
seems fair to you, I am willing. Well
say ten dollars now, five dollars in one
month, and five dollars in two months"
"That's a CO." answered the happy
bridegroom, and he handed over ten
dollars
At the end of a month he returned
with five dollars more.
CT amt sure, he said, a little doubt
fully, "about it yet, but I'm willing to
make the second payment. You see" "
he added, "while 1 have my own
doubts about the blessing of married
life, I don't know as it's going to make
much difference. I amt just so sure
as 1 was that I could get out of this
thing now if 1 wanted to. She's got
an opinion of her own" he said, with
a faint grin; land if she says we
have got to keep on being married
guess it'll have to go at that"
"You aren't thinking of getting a
divorce, are you9" asked the clergy
man.
ooh, no; at least not just yet"
"Of what faults in your wife do you
complain9"
ooh, nothing in particular"
why are you dissatisfied, theni"
81 amt just dissatisfied. I say /
haven't made up my mind yet"
why shouldn't you know one way
or the other?"
"WeIl to tell you the honest truth, |
don't believe it would do any good.
I'm afraid whatever she decides will
settle it." Then he went off, looking
rather puzzled over the problem.
At the end of the second month there
came a knock at the door, and the pastor
himself answered it. The bride was
standing there, and about five feet be-
hind her was the doubling husband.
my husband owes you five dollars,
doesn't he9" she asked, sharply.
We'll" answered the pastor, with a
smile, q am not sure about that

He was for a long time confused at
not hearing the clock, but after awhile
began tapping his paw anyway. The
remarkable point is that after awhile
he remembered how many strokes
were due at each succeeding hour, 90
that now whenever the Colonel clucks
he gets into position and taps the mum
Der of strokes the clock should make
next time. Thus at any time after 10
o'clock he taps eleven times; after

GOLD AND SILVER sPANGLEs.

Spangles are used on everything,
writes Mrs. Isabel A. Mallon in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. On
gowns, on bonnets, on all the little
belongings possible, and especially on
fans. The prettiest of fans are of gauze
with very large spangles of steel or
gold upon them, and then dragon flies
or butterflies formed of spangles. Be-
ing on the outer sticks the effect is very
sparkling, and, as a matter of course,
tends to brighten the entire toilette.
