Good and Bad Success.

In Smollett's "Peregrine Pickle"

and one of its older use in the sense of
issue or result. Near the beginning of
the chapter a willing cracks various
little jokes, and is encouraged by the
success of these efforts" which is quite
In keeping with the approved manner
of the jocular still. Toward the close

tempt to cheat him at cards, and we
learn that lit was not without cause
that they repined at the bad success of
their enterprise. Notes and Queries.

One Way to Catch Frogs.

In looking over a book of travels in
France, written more than a hundred
years ago, came across an interesting
bit about the way of catching frogs for
market The author mentions the
fact that frogs were sold by the hun
dred in the markets, that they were
classed as fish, and that only the hind
quarters were eaten. But to come to
the main point, he says:
ITO catch the frogs, the fisherman
puts one of them in a glass vessel
which he dips into brook; on which
the creature, finding itself in so
strange a situation, confined in the
midst of water in transparent ma
chime, or may say invisible prison, be-
gins to croak most melodiously, and by
his croaking makes multitudes of other
frogs come to him on every side, as il
to rescue their companion, when the
frog fisher valiantly seizes his prey"

N.poIsen and Beet sugar.

Although the great Napoleon was
not the sort of man whom It was OF
dinarily safe TO laugh at, he was ridi
culed and caricatured on account of his
faith that sugar could be made profit
ably from beets.
In 1911 the emperor promised the
French people that they should have
sugar from beets II he excluded from
France the commerce of England, in
cluding the sugars of the British West
Indies. This promise led to the publ
cation of a caricature in which the EN-
peror and his little son, the king Of
Rome, were represented.
The emperor was shown sitting in his
boys nursery, squeezing a beet root
into a cup of coffee. The baby prince
sat near him hard at work sucking a
beet root, while the nurse, standing
close by, was represented as exclaim-
ing, "Suck it, dear, suck it; your papa
says 1t is sugarp
This biting sarcasm did not prevent
Napoleon from spending several million
francs at time when his empire was
under tremendous strain of expendi-
lures in bounties for sugar made from
beets, and his sagacity has been vindi-
Gated at last by the fact that within
the past FIVE years the worlds yearly
production of beet sugar has risen
above it's production of cane sugar by
more than n million tons. s.-Youth's

OF his own composing. The poet lis
tened with the greatest composure to
Augustus right on 10 tho end, Then
taking few coins from his pocket he
gave them to him, saying;

the female teacher in the E. A. Stevens
Public School, of Camden, who placed
pepper in the mouths OF pupils to keep
them quiet, will be investigated by the
Board of the Advisory Committee to-
night.
Daniel NJ Stevens, the president of the
Board of Education. yesterday decided to
refer the matter TO the committee, which
is composed of Messrs. Charles II. Ellis,
Frazer Baker, Levi B. Farnham, H. G.
Sharp and William Barber, for investiga-
ton 1t WAS learned yesterday that the
Young lady who resorted to the heroic
treatment was Miss Marion Patton.
Principal Fry was informed by Miss
Patton tnat she was the person and prom
ised to write a statement of her side of
the case which will be submitted 10 the
committee. Mr.. Fry said that Miss Pat
ton was an exemplary teacher, Sabbath
school teacher, and had won the respect
of the scholars in her class by her kind
and gentle treatment In all schools, Mr.
Fry said, there are times when the schol-
ars try the patience of the teachers and
they are forced 10 demonstrate that they
are masters of the situation or there
would De no discipline in the schools.
He said that Miss Patton had admitted
to him that she had resorted to the use of
pepper on three occasions at widely differ
ent periods. Why she had done so was a
difficult problem to solve. Something
that was done on the impulse of the
moment, and, he said. with the most ex-
celIent results"
He said that the teacher was eXasper-
ated beyond endurance by the imPudence
of the boys she punished, aud experiment.

teacner for her forethought in splicing
their mouths.
Superintendent Bergen. who has charge
of the public schools, said he had not
heard officially that the teacher had used
the pepper. He said:-"I don't think il
would do any harm if some of the teach
ers used a little ginger with the pepper in
