Every parent is interested, or should
be 30, in the successful operation of
the schools, and should lend all assist
ance possible to the teacher to the end
that the children may learn, not only
the book lessons, but lessons of punctu-
ality, obedience, decorum and polite
ness. Most teachers will be pleased to
receive visits from parents, providing
the visits are made in spirit of
encouragement and not for the pur-
pose of fault-6nding. Make the
schools a visit, and learn from personal
observation what you may do to assist
the teacher and your children.

The value of the fan was fully recog-

days; for chroniclcr of the eighteenth
century tells us that the very common

while the finest were of tortoise shell
and ivory incrusted with ivory and
precious stones, and painted by artists
of great talent. These fans, we are
also told, were never used for tanning.
So we see that the proper sphere of
the fan was recognized even then.
Now we are less eXtravagant. Even
the fashion in these small things is but

"The fan of beauty is the scepter

So sang Marechal; and we women
are not in position to contradict him.
For must we not confess that the dear
little weapon has dealt the hearts of
men many telling blow. In the old
books on woman's fashions, we find
the fan always associated with the
parasol and the handkerchief But we
have changed all that. A fan and a
pair of beautiful, brilliant eyes are all
the armor that is needed for these lat
ter days A parasol may be made to
do very effective work, it is true, and
is to be by no means despised; but u
parasol's field of usefulness is necessa-
rily limited, as one may bring it forth
only in the daytime. Whereas the fan
and the eyes are never idle, and are
most effective under the soft shades of
evening, or in the quiet corner of the
brilliant ballroom. Therefore, when
the woman goes forth to conquer, she
selects her fan with great care. Spe-
cial attention must be paid to its

the great fertility of this alluvium
may be inferred from the fact that
portions of the Annapolis, CORVALLIS,
Grand Pre- and Cumberland marshes
have been producing annually for
nearly two centuries from two to four
tons per acre of the finest hay. Be
sides, it is common practice, after the
hay has been removed, to convert the
marshes into autumn pastures, on the
luxuriant tender after-gro with of which
cattle fatten more rapidly than on any
other kind of food. Thus, virtually,
two crops are annually taken from the
land, to which no fertiliAing return is
ever made. The only portions of the
Acadian marshes that have as yet
shown signs of exhaustion are those
about the Chiegnecto branch of the
bay, on the cliffs and bed of which the
Triassic rocks do not occur, but in their
stead series of blue and gray grind
stone grits" of an earlier formation.
In this region the marshes situated
well up toward the head of the tide,
where the red soil of the uplandc has
been mingled with the gray tidal mud,
are good, while those lower down are
of inferior quality and less enduring.
Efforts are being made to renew and
improve these inferior tracts by admit
ting the tide upon them.
In general, however, the necessity
for periodic inundations by the muddy
waters of the bay in order to maintain

The exceedingly fine texture of the

figures were in the vatican draperies,
and the dainty flowers that sprung up
about them were after the fine fashion
of Louis XIV.
But the big ones, for fifty dollars, on
creamy, sheer gauze, were just right.
They were closely spangled; the gowns
of the quaint damsels portrayed there
on were displayed in soft, pale colors;
their bosoms were plentifully bedeclsed
with jewels, and jewels shone in their
hair; the sticks were so fragile that
one longed to snap them, and the lace
that trimmed them was exquisitely
fine.
