BENEFITS of Reading Circles.

Reading circles seem to be all the
rage now among young people or
every class. Their multiplication,
unlike many other successful instltu-
tons, is not due altogether to the
fact that the idea is a fashionable
one, for fashion and study hardly go
hand in hand They are horses of
different breed, different color and
different proportions, and it is sell
dom that they can, from a compare
tive standpoint, be made to labor to-
gether. The necessity of education
which is daily %impressing itself more
and more upon the youth Of our
times is the cause responsible for
their existence. The benefit that the
studious one derives from them is
obviously great. A man reads a
book and carries out of it a certain
number of ideas. His knowledge of
that book is not as great as if he re-
ceived the ideas of thirty readers of
it, each of whom views it differently
to some degree.
This is the argument the young
people make in favor of this pros
porous institution, and a little refec-
ton will show that it is not a bad one.
1 dropped in during the exercises Of
one of these circles during the week.
Young men and women, the maxi
mum age of whom was twenty-three,
were laboring industriously over the
French rebellion, and the way that
they arranged the facts, throwing in
detail while keeping clear and upper
most the main ideas, was something
marvellous. They had been colabor-
ing for just n year and had in that
time reviewed and studied American
history and a dozen works of differ
ent standard authors. Brooklyn

Pronunciation in Our Schools.

I would like to call attention to a
matter of which I may be very igno-
rant. 1 refer to the education of our
children in the public schools. Some
of my children attend Public School
No. 80, and l very often hear them
pronounce very familiar words in an
outlandish way, the queer thing
about the matter being that, in speak
ing to people whose education was
taught them at a later day than my
own, they tell me that they were in
structed to pronounce the words as !
will try and illustrate, the funny
point being that they now utter the
words as l was taught thirty-six
years. ago in the public schools. Here
are some of the words: For dog they
must say doag, for new, neuw; for
doll, dol; neighs, nays; soft, saft;
wrong, wrang; long, lang; wrench,
rentze; fast, fast; Newfoundland,
Neuw Findland; New York. Neuw
Yark, etc.
Now, what's the benefit or use
in teaching children pronunciations
which they do not apply in after life9

Working His Own Head.

note to take to the O%verseer, he went
off stroking his forehead.

Common Names of the Lilac.

sS0A
Even in so small a place as Eng
land, Of which it is said that a man
may land on one side in the morning
and fall off the cliffs of the other side
before night, the lilac is known by
different names, travelling every few
score miles. In one place it is called
the May plant, in another it is the
princess feather flower, in another it
is called ducks bills, while laylock is
a common variation in those local
tiles where it should be known as
lilac. Possibly if one were to search
in other countries than England he
should find it with a o or so or
other names.
The great difficulty with English
names for flowers is not that their
English names are improper, but
there is no authority as to which n
should be generally adopted: No
system for the general adoption OF
any one particular name has ever
been suggested. -Meehan's Monthly.

Cats Play With Mice for Practice.

Cats Play With Mice for Practice.
Cats are often accused of being
cruel animals, because of the habit
they have of teasing and torturing
the prey they catch before killing it.
LAS a cat plays with a mouse" is a
phrase that has passed into a prov
erb. St. George Mivart has pub
lished his theory to this effect that,
inasmuch as pussy always secures
her game by bouncing, this playing
with the victim after she has caught
it, letting it go a little way and pounc-
ing upon it again, is done for the
sake of practice in what is necessarily
a difficult exercise, requiring much
expertness. Interview in Washing

COLLEGE MEN AT A DISCOUNT.

Frank Advice from n Sensible Slsto1
Aided One Young Fellow to Get a Start.
He was a college bred youth, and
after graduation came the question
of how he was to make his living.
He had the right stuff in him, though
at first it was pretty well hidden by
the high opinion he held of his own
capacity. -.
A farmers son. with no influential
friends to assist him in obtaining a
situation, he found himself alone in
Boston. He presented himself at
business offices, wrote letters in an
swer to advertisements, sought inter-
views with men prominent in COM
mercial and banking circles, but was
everywhere met with refusal. At
last he began to grow respondent
and to wonder what a college educa-
ton was good for anyhow.
He now sought the advice OF an
old maid sister, his senior by many
years, whose experiences in the
world had made her thoroughly prac-
teal. She questioned him closely as
to how he made application for a
position, how he approached an en-
ployer, what he said Of himself, etc.
When the young man had answered,
she said:
"It's just as l supposed, John. You
didn't ask for a place as an employee
at all. Your method is more like de-
manding that the employer turn over
his entire business to you. You'll
have to go about the thing different
ly. Don't attach so much impor-
lance to your college requirements.
Collegians nowadays + as thick as
huckleberries down east, and some
of them are working for a mere song.
Don't say to a man from whom
you expect a situation, My dear sir,
if there is an existing vacancy in
your establishment I shall be glad to
fill it, being assured that my qualif-
cations will enable me to assume any
position you may have to Offer Just
believe that there r a few things
left which you don't know, and make
your application accordingly"
John was sensible, and saw the
force of his sisters remarks. His
next request for a situation was
couched in more modest terms than
the others, and his college training
was not mentioned until the very
last part of the interview, when it
was drawn out by the employers
own questions.
He got that situation after a few
days without further trouble. That
was several years ago, and today he
holds a much better position in the
same establishment.
Only the other day John repeated
his sisters advice to a recent gradu-
ate from his alma mater, at the same
time re4eting his own experience

The Oulv Thing They Ever Did,

were almost unrivaled. Some of his

his reply was prompt, Il never heard
