Untidy Children.

In every school, in every class, there
are specimens of this kind of pupil
children who are untidy in regard to
their persons, their desks, the floor,
their work. Neatness i'll regard to the
person is, perhaps, the most important,
as it influences all the rest. 1t is I'M
reasonable to expect neat, clean work
from pupil with dirty hands.
In many instances the teacher has to
contend with the influences of the home.
In some of the poorer sections OF the
city, where the mother is away from
home, working all day, and sister or
perhaps no one is left in charge, the
child runs off to school without any care
being taken that his hands and face are
washed and his hair brushed. In such
case the teacher must be very careful
not to wound his feelings, for some OF
these little ones are exceedingly sensi-
tive Often a kind word spoken in pri-
waite will make great change In the
appearance of the child. Then CHEEKY
word of encouragement will make him
feel that you notice and appreciate the
Improvement. If the child's self-re-
spect can be aroused, the teacher has a
strong ally.
There is another class whose mothers
y
and start them off early. In this case
time to change his appearance before
presenting himself at school. So have
found piece Of soap very convenient
article of school furniture.
1t is well to speak to the class about
washing before coming to school-brush-
ing their hair, cleaning their boots and
finger nails.
A cross on the paper, not SO much for
good work as for Improvement, the pross
pect of having the paper, il neat, pinned
to the door; word, q glance, to show
that the improvement is noticed, or a
mark, are all inducements to keep the
work neat. 1t is not necessary to keep
account of these marks in the primary
grades; it is sufficient satisfaction to get
them.
On the other hand, if an untidy paper
is handed in, the teacher may refuse to
accept it, and have it rewritten carefully.
1t is great help to neat papers to
have the slate work neat. In every kind
OF work show the class how you want it
done. Have the new words written in
columns, neatly separated by vertical
lines. In arithmetic, have figures kept
under each other and not crowded to-
gether.
The teacher should make point of
seeing every slate or paper. There is a
great temptation to do the work care
lessly if the child thinks that,th is a
probability that it will not be seen.
AS to the desks and floor, it is a good
plan to place the waste paper basket SO
that the pupils pass it on their way out
in the line, and let them bring their
waste papers up with them. It takes
only half-a-minute to pass down the
aisIes after four O. clock, and note the
seats that have papers under them, and
next morning a mark may be given to
the pupils whose Seats were tidy.-Edu-

Home-Made Apparatus.

A set of language tablets will provide
useful and entertaining busy work for
pupils lin the lower primary grades.
The aim in the use of these tablets is
simply to teach the names of familiar
objects and the correct use of these
words. in sentences. The material
needed in their preparation will be a
quantity of cardboard or stiff paper
cardboard is preferable, because it lasts
longer) and a number of small pictures;
those furnished by newspaper advertise
ments will be suitable for this purpose.
In selecting, the teacher should endeavor
to choose pictures that represent famil-
lar objects She should use only those
that will harmonize perfectly with the
results she is aiming to obtain by the
use of this device.
The next step will be to cut the card
board or paper into small sheets. Eight
by five inches is very good size for this
work. On the upper half of each sheet
place picture leaving a narrow margin
at the top and equal spaces at the right
and left. The remaining part of the
tablet is to be devoted to writing and
should be lined to correspond exactly
with papers and states. This will insure
accuracy on the part of the pupils. The
name of the object, preceded by the in
definite article should be written on the
first line. Following this should come
several simple sentences in each of
which the name should be used in con-
nection with familiar idiom. The
same idiom should not be used twice.
The remaining space on the tablet
should be used for elliptical sentences.
AS it is the teachers aim in this work to
teach the correct use of the word that
has just been introduced, number of
these sentences should be so arranged
that the new word can be used in filling
the blanks.
When the tablet is given to the child,
= the teaching tells him that just below
the picture, he will find its name. He is
directed to look at it closely, and write
it on his own paper, also copy carefully
the following sentences and wherever he
finds an omission to supply, il posi-
BILE, the name on the first line After
this work has been completed it will be
we'll to have the children go over their
papers and underline the word where
ever it is found. This will enable the
pupil to fix more definitely in his mind
the form that he has just learned

Weu-Bred Recruits Wanted in the Sulky.
One of the subjects touched upon by
the National Breeders at their recent

dishonest practices among professional

Mich, speaking in support of the re-

this matter lies in the want of a reserve

drivers and trainers guard their secrets

the rubber gets little or no chance to

The Saber Played Out.

The saber," said Col John s.
Mosby, the famous confederate soldier,
recently, lis about as useless in actual
warfare as the fifth wheel of coach.
1t is only a tradition. Gunpowder
knocked it out, and it has been re-
tanned in the service largely on senti-
mental grounds. On dress parade and
occasions of ceremony the saber does
well enough, but no sane man would
think Of using a saber in a modern
battle During the Franco-Prussian
war only seven men were killed by the
saber on both sides, and YOU could
count up the nen killed in our own
war BY that weapon ON your fingers.
We discarded it altogether in my COM
mand. In the ancient DAYS. when
King Arthur was on EARTH the saber
was of some use. but it is entirely out
of place in the nineteenth century.
The government could save money
and at the same time improve the
efficiency of the service by abolishinr
the saber from the army. Fiction

its loss would deprive them of one of
the chief articles of their stock in

AMERICAN GIRLS WHO co ABROAD
The secret of Their Success by No Means
Mystery.

The alleged mystery as to how it is
possible for American girls to be so
successful in English society Is, after
all. no mystery. but simply owing to
their seif-assertiou. They appraise
themselves highly. insist upon atten-
ton. and decline to be ignored, all
without the sacrifice of their dignity.
The English girl does nothing OF the
sort. but remains to the Enghsh!nah

SEVERAL CURIOUS FACTS.
Origin of the Sublime Society of Beef
steaks, the Scriblerus Club, Etc.

There are a number of societies in
the world that bear strange names, but
probably one of the most curious was
a club founded in 1885 by an English
actor, SAYS a writer in Jumpers Young
People, 1t was called The Sublime
Society of Beefsteaks," and had among
its members the prince of Wales and
other royal personages. They met in
the painting room of the Covent
Garden Theatre, and dined upon beef
steaks. The club was in existence
for more than a hundred years, and
became quite noted because of its odd
customs. Another strange name was
that of the ~Scriblerus Club" which
Swift founded in 1714, and to which
Pope, Gay and other literary men be-
longed.
Sedan chairs were first used in Eng
land by the duke of Buckingham dur
ing the reign of James l. The first
chair aroused much Indignation
among the people, who said that men
were being used to do the work of
beasts, but later on they became very
fashionable.
The fashion of saying God bless
you." after sneezing. originated with
the ancients. These people believed
that some danger attended sneezing,
so they generally made a short prayer,
such as Jupiter, help me-" 1t has
been found to be the custom among
savages to do the same, and Jewish
rabbis also make mention of the fact.
An old Roman writer says that the
custom originated during plague,
when people who were seemingly in
good health sneezed and fell down
dead.
Bagpipes are generally ascribed to
Scotland, where they have been in use
for a long time. but it was an instru-
ment upon which the ancient Greeks
and Romans played. Nero is said to
have performed upon it. and an old
piece of Grecian sculpture represents a
player on the bagpipes dressed i'll the
fashion that is known to-day as the
Highland costume

The phrase. "Robbing Peter to
pay Paul." is supposed to have origin
ated in an incident which occurred in
London during the sixteenth century.
About the year 1910 the Abbey of ST.
Peter in Westminster was elevated to
the dignity of a cathedral, but ten
years later was again joined to the
diocese of London and its property
appropriated to pay the expenses OF
some necessary repairs to the Cathe-
dral of st. Paul. 1t was evident that
to do honor to St. Paul the estate OF
Peter had to suffer, hence the express
sion which has become proverbial.
