of Man. By n. :. Shalor, Professor OF Ge-
ology in Harvard University. illustrated.
Charles Scrbner's Sons. New York. sold
in Providence by Preston a Rounds.
This IL one OF those rare books for the
young that demands only praise at the
hands of the critic, and demands a gem
erous amount of it. 1t Is altogether ad-
mira BILE, In conception and execution. IL
is made up OF seven chapters, four OF
which have appeared in Scribner's Maga-
zine, and were then recognized as OF great
interest and Importance.
The three others, relating TO harbors,
are taken in the main from the authors
report on the geological history OF har-
bors, printed in the thirteenth annual
report of the director of the United States
Geological Survey. The aim OF the au-
thor has been to separate from the
great body of technical knowledge
concerning shores and seas those
features that have value in en-
largipg the readers conception as to the
metlfo of nature and to introduce stu
dents of nature TO certain phenomena OF
the land and ocean. And the work has
been done so happily that the result is a
rare book for young and old alike, but
especially for the young. Among the
topics specially treated are the Depths Of
the Sea, ycebergs, Harbors and Civiliza-
tion aud Tidal Currents. The text is
beautifully illustrated.

The Holly and the Ivy.

From the earliest times green boughs
have been associated Is one of the out
ward expressions Of JOY, and repeatedly
in the Bible do we find allusions to
them, notably in Nehemiah, where we
read, "Go forth unto the mount and
fetch olive branches, and pine branches,
and myrtle branches, to make booths
thereof, and there was very great
gladncss. Decorations may thus bo
claimed as decidedly Scriptural in their
origin. The popular eyCrgreens are rose
mary, bay, laurel, holly and ivy, and in
folklore we have many and frequent
illusions TO all of these The hellebore,
OF Christmas rose, and the Christmas
thorn, which flowers about this season,
along with laurostina and arbutus, are
freely used in English decorations. A
very quaint poem tells of the claims Of
the ivy and holly for precedence. Pop
ular opinion places the holly inside and
the ivy outside dwelling. --Sslected.

The most popular method for Christ
mas church decoration just now is to
have number of gothic designs in
wood, which can be worked out very
easily with evergreen leaves and holly,
producing an excellent effect. These
frames have the advantage Of lasting
from year to year. Wire frames of diff
fetent shapes and sizes are also used to
some extent and prove very desirable
because of their lightness, a large
cross, heart or anchor of wire frame fire.

article worked on wood could not be
placed. The scarlet berried holly, the
dark green and shining leaved ivy,
green bloom pots Of evergreen shrubs
and the red Virginian creeper have all
been utilized latterly for decorating the
churches Inscriptions by means of holly
berries or in colored immortellos are
also made, the latter being preferred,
because some Of tho berries used at
Christmas are poisonous, and children
pick them up when they fall to the

looking green are carried from side to

A Book For Teachers.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT, n practical treatise
for teachers and ali other persons interest
ed in the right training OF the young, by
Emerson r.. White, A. NJ. LII d., etc,
American Book Company. New York.
DIR. White has been lecturing and writ
ing about the science of teaching for %
wears, and this book crystalizes all he has
experienced, observed and learned by
study. 1t follows that either DIR. White Is
possessed of wrong ideas or this is a very
valuable book. 1t is certain that no other
science needs such forceful and such
courageous exposition as the science
of teaching. Teaching is not prac-
ticed as science to the extent
it ought to be. Ii is considered too much
In the nature OF a temporary occupation
or fad. Even those who are teachers
for many years do not all regard 1t as a
science, but rather as faculty. IL there
could be the right kind of teaching
in-our- public -schools--even- incur
primary schools-what a rate of progress
poor, bowed down humanity would at
once showi The qualities necessary for a
good teacher to possess are only vouch-
safed to a few, probably not enough
to supply the needs of the
schools IL every such hsppily-endowed
person were to adopt teaching. 1t be-
comes, therefore, of the first Importance
that persons taking up teaching should
be as thoroughly prepared as possible. In
this book the author seems to have laid
out a course OF instruction of great utility
and special value.

A CHRISTMAS LEGEND.
The Miraculous Walking Stick of st. Joseph
Took Root and Blossomed.

There is legend interesting in con-
nection with the custom of extending
festivities from Christmas to Twelfth
day. or Epiphany. According to tradi-
tion, st. Joseph, while passing through
the town of Glastonbury, rested on
hillside. His walking stick of dry haw-
thorn he thrust into the earth, when il
Immediately took root and the next day
blossomed. Every year thereafter it
blossomed on Christmas day, which was
Jan. @, old style. This thorn tree had
two trunks and grew to an immense
size. Many singular instances related
Of it obtained general credence.
Once in Queen Elizabeth's time
Puritan, hoping TO root out the super.
stition attached to it, hewci down the
larger trunk, but when he attacked tho
other he was miraculously prevented
from accomplishing his task. His AK
slipped, cutting his leg seriously, and
chip dew mp and put out one of his
eyes. The severed trunk lay for years
attached 10 the earth by mere fray-
ment of bark, yet it grew and flourish
ed. Even after it was taken away and
thrown into ditch IL continued tc
blossom, while the standing trunk, all
cut and mangled near the roots, spread
out its branches in great circle and
bloomed luxuriantly.
A long time afterward the second
trunk was cut down, but the shoots
from it were said to be growing in
many places, each claiming to be the
Glastonbury thorn. 1t is OH record that
when the change of style was made In
1863 people We're greatly perplexed, won-
dering on what day the Glastonbury
thorn would blossom. A great crowd
collected on Dec. 90, n. s., and find
ing no blossoms watched the tree until
Jan. 6, the old Christmas day, when ii
bloomed as usual. To allay the excite-'
ment this caused the old day was OBJ
served for awhile in many places. New
York Journal.
