the case for the complainants. Affidavits

there is work for the superhuous energy
of Christians at home The story says:
The city editor of one of our leading dali
ly papers had occasion to use that one of
the Ten Commandments which says,
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it
holy" He was uncertain just which
commandment it was, and not having a
Bible at hand, rang up the headquarters

was told by the gentleman in charge that
there was no Bible in the Y. NJ. Z. A.

ficiaIs, but none could tell him. 1t took
several hours before he found person

New Plan of Grading.

A number of public schools have
adopted new system of grading and
promoting. The main point is to abolish
regular examinations and their attend
ant evils, and place more stress upon the
daily average work of the pupil. The
system does not do away with eXamina-
tions altogether, but provides that they
be given at the teachers discretion.
Once per month the teacher makes an
estimate of the average merit of the
pupils scholarship. and twice each year,
in February and June, strikes general
average from these estimates. Upon
this result, as basis, the pupils title to
promotion is determined.

Absolutely Correct.

1t is said that no book of any size has
ever yet been printed with absolute typo
graphic correctness. An English pub.
fishing house made great effort to pro.
duce perfect book, and issued its proof
sheets to the universities with rewards OF
fifty pounds for detection of errors. In
spite of the precaution several errors
were found in the book after its publica
ton. So when your eagle eye discovers
an error do not condemn the proof read
er to the lower regions.

Apples contain more phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable. For this
reason as well as because the apple con-
tains several acids, it is an excellent brain
food, and remedy for many of the ills
that originate in sedentary habits and
rich foods.
