American author and reading one
half hour each day to the class until
the book is completed. think this
plan Objectionable on the ground
that while the book may be standard
and well selected, yet one style and
subject long continued does not riyet
itself upon the attention of the child
to the same degree as a variety of
styles and subjects as in the previous
plan referred to.
In making selections for reading,
either long or short. the teacher
should be very guarded not to over
estimate the mental capacity of the
pupils and thereby subject them to
an ordeal more Objectionable than
corporal punishment, bore them to
death with what NAV greatly intcr>
est the teacher but is not of a char
aeter interesting enough to pupils
toVven command their attention.
Selections to be read to the pupils
should be of great variety, some>
times humorous such as we find in
the writings of Oliver Wendell
Holmes and John g. SAKE. Again
pathetic as the writings of John &.
Whittier.
Longfellow's poems, Washington
Irving's works, Hawthorn's writings
and the works Of William Cullen
Bryant and James Russell Lowell
are all good books by American
authors and could be used to great
advar tage.
By gaining the undivided atten>
ton of the pupils and keeping them
interested, it stimulates the intel
lectual growth and imp ants habit
Of application and study.

The Cat LIN Ancient Times.

The cat was SO very highly regarded in
England at one time, both as rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following salu-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
eff any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Granery, he is to
forfeit milch Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form a heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had a high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had a
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was crime to kill them,
and when they died they received pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those of kings.

the Egyptian city Of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead Of shields. When the host ad-
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives of
vast numbers Of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss Of
blood or of cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post

A Biir Lobster Pound.

There is lGbster farm, or pound, as it
is called, 10 acl;as in extent at Southport,
Me. This poupd is the most successful
on the coast, whence 100000 Holsters
are shipped opch year. The pound is
formed by building solid dam across q
tidewater cova This dam does not quite
rise to high water mark, but across the
top is placed fence of iron rods, per-
mitting a daily change of water and pre-
venting the HOLSTERS f-rm escaping. In
the spring and fall bSs.ness Is me-. risk.
When the fishermen bring the lobsters
to the pound, the ''fish," as they are
called, are hoisted to the dam, measured,
and those which are more than 104
inches long, the legal limit, are thrown in.
If lobster is clever, his life in the pound
may be long and full of Joy. If he is
stupid, he will be fished, out with drag
seine and packed in barrel, with piece
of ice for a pillow, and sent to Boston.
The seine is made Of stout twine and is
weighted at the bottom with a heavy
chain. Along the top is row of corks,
which sustain the weight of the seine
while the chain drags on the bottom of
the pound.
A single cast of this seine will bring
up Holsters enough to fill II barrels. The
chain as it sweeps along the bottom stirs
up the Holsters, which Immediately shoot
backward into the slack twine. In tax
ing them out the men wear heavy nit
tens, though even then they are often
nipped. In the pound the Holsters are
fed on salt herring, men rowing about
in skiffs and pitching the herring over
board. This is called ''feeding the chick
ens,' and it takes about six barrels to
make a light luncheon for the flock

The tune of ''Yankee Doodle has had
seven or eight treatises written upon it
in the last 80 years, ascribing it to vari-
GUS dates and origins, even back to The
Netherlands and the days Of Cromwell
and the Charleses. DR.. George Grove of
London, author Of the Dictionary of
Music and Musicians" has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England,
finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-
ploding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof
But Yankee Doodle had an origin
and has history. 1t was written by
DR.. Richard Schuchburg, whose com
mission dates 1877, in the French and
Indian war Of 1755 under General JEFF
frey Amherst and was intended as o
''take Off on the rag, tag and bobtail''
recruits Of the colonies that came into
the army. It ''took" so well. however,
that the Americans have ever adopted it
and would not part with it for anything.
The first words,
Father and l went down to camp,
were in the Boston Journal in 176S, and
the first record of the tune is in Arnold's
''Two to One,' 1880, SO that Yankee
Doodle" although written by British
surgeon, is really American. Boston

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is "a low cut shoe of a
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of large
foot and forms very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
