Why a Cap Is SymbolicaI of Liberty.

The right of covering the head was in early times d mark of liberty, slaves only going bareheaded. When slave was given hls freedom, 1t was custom ary for his late master to place on his head d small red cloth cap, called pl- leus. When this had been done, he was termed lihertiuus (l frCcdmam, and his name was registered im the city tribes. In 2G3 B. C.. SatUruius, on taking pos session of the capital, hoistrd a cap on the top of his spear to indicate that all slaves who joined his standard should be free Marius used the same symbol when he melted the slaves against Syl- la. When CTear was murdered, the conspirators marched forth with cap on a spear as token of liberty. The Goddess of Liberty in the ANentlne mount was represented as holding in her hand cap. In France the Jacobins wore red cap. In England blue cap bordered in white, with the word lihcr- ty in gold. is a symbol of the constitu- tional liberty of the nation. and la our country the statue of Liberty always wears cap.

Useful Hints on the Subject For Young and

 Most countries owe their imp0rtanC Q to the fact that they pTUtucA something that mankind uses in one way ur anoth- CT. Study the productions, at least the most important ones, and also give the reasons why certain countries have cer- tain productions and not others. This will bring in matters of temperature, rainfall. elevation, latitude, nature of soil, etc., and the children will sec why they ale required to learn these facts, and they will seem realities.
 Find out what other countries have the same productions, and which pro- duce the greater amount With causes, etc. Many of the teachers would as tonish their pupils by asking th"ln why the United States produces large Quan- titles of corn, while England produces none, or why the coasts of Mexico have productions different from the inland regions, or why Russia is anxious to get control of Constantinoplc, etc.
 But the use of country docs not de- pend alone upon what it can produce. It also depends upon its advantages for sending away what is not used at home, and also for getting the products of other countries which it does not have. The study of this question will involve the proximity of country to the sea coast. its navigable rivers, railroads, canals, etc, thus bringing out the vital points and showing their importance. The pupils are thus learning the facts as means to an end and not as large assortment of dry, disconnected ends. Ask them if they would rather live i'll Mexico than England, and why: AL ways why: Interesting and animated debates may often be rar1i'd q on in this
