TEACHING the YOUNG IDEA.

Moral Suasion n Powerful Factor, but There
Are Time~ When Ii Fails.
Suppose you are primary teacher
Do you realize what. you must put into
your work if You wish to succeed? You
must be teacher, mother and nurse to
your little charges You must work
with them during hours and for them
after school. You must be ready to
catch an idea anywhere and adapt it to
the needs of particular pupil who may
be dull, Indifferent or dishcartencd, or
even all three. poor little chap.
You must be untiring in your vigi-
lance over their morals and set them al
ways good example in manner, by be-
ing courteous, even if they break your
umbrella or spill ink all over your best
gown. If you are boys teacher, you
must be ready at any moment to dress a
cut, pick out a splinter. arbitrate in a
fight or give a decision ON the merits of
racers or the ownership of marbles, fish
hooks and malodorous bottles of bait If
you can't meet these emergencies, the
average small boy will hold you in con-
tempt. If you want TO win his love, you
must know something about the con-
struction Of kites, be interested in the
''oneriest lookin" dog that ever invaded
n schoolroom and not be too finicky
about when he washed his hands last If
a pupil should offer you candy.
If you can do all these things and
laugh about them afterward. you will
probably stand high in favor
But there is a more serious ccnsidera-
ton. You must also have his respect,
and this is not always 80 easily or
pleasantly won.
Great stress has been laid upon the
efficacy of moral suasion. but there are
times when human perversity rises to
such pitch that the most persuasive
tongue is powerless TO enforce obedience
to your will. You may be obliged to
pick up shrieking, fighting scrap Of
humanity and put him back repeatedly
where you wish him to stay till, worn
out from the struggle. he succumbs and
likes you all the better for having con-
quered him. There's nothing mean
about the small boy.-Mary B. O'Sul-
livan in Donahoe's Magazine.

Scorpions.

Tho natives of Lucca, in Italy, assert
that the scorpion will destroy itself If
exposed to sudden light, and q writer
in Nature said that his informant and
her friends. while residing during the
summer months at the baths Of Lucca,
were much annoyed by the intrusion Of
small black scorpions into the house
and their being secreted among the bed
clothes, in shoes and in other articles of
dress; that they soon became adopts in
catching the scorpions and disposing Of
them in the manner suggested. This
consisted in combining the animal under
an inverted drinking glass or tumbler
below which q card was inserted when
the capture was made and then waiting
till dark, suddenly bringing the light of
q candle near to the glass in which tho
animal was confined. No sooner was
this done than the scorpion invariably
showed signs Of great excitement run
ming round and round the interior Of
the tumbler with reckless velocity for q
number Of times
''This state having lasted for minute
or more, the animal suddenly became
quiet, and turning its tail, or the hinder
part Of its body. over its back, brought
Its recurved sting down upon the mid
die Of the head, and piercing it forcibly
in few seconds became quite motion
less, and, in fact, quite dead. This OBJ
scrvation was repeated very frequently
i'm truth, it was adopted as the best
plan Of getting rid Of the pests, and the
young people were in the habit Of han
ding them with IMMUNITY Immediately
after they were SO killed and Of preserv-
ing many Of them as curiosities.' 1t is
known that scorpions kill themselves
when surrounded by Q ring Of fire.
