 Another picture, enlarged from ko- dak, judge, represents Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Tho figure on the right ill this group is Eve, as learn ed from an attendant.

 One cannot but be impressed by this picture, the picture of those two single handed parents of the human race.

 Think of it! Who could not shudder at the very idea? It IS a mighty solemn thing to be parent even where ones child is of same color as ones self; but, Rh, stop and think over for moment what it must be to have tho doctor bring with him a Mongolian baby, or a httle red brother, or fifteenth amend ment!

Picture Nursery Screen.

A pretty nursery screen is made by covering the panels with any solid back ground desired-black, dark red or brown-and pasting pictures cut from nursery tales upon them. One panel can be handsomely decorated with the pie lures that made last years calendar such thing of beauty, illustrating, as many of them do in such lovely fashion, the procession of the months. The pleth- ora, indeed, in these days of really ex. quisite specimens of the hthographer's art makes Il disposition of them, after they have survived their brief present i'll current weekly, monthly or annual, real problem to those who dislike to discard them wholly or keep them for ever out of sight.

COMMON FAULTS IN PUPILS.
Prevalent Habits and Errors That Ough
 to Re Corrected by Teachers.


 to He Corrected by Teachers.
 The pupil is usually unaware of his own mannerisms, such as swaying his body, beating time with his head and the like. It is the teachers privilege curious habits. Venturing in to play 8 new piece, many pupils strike at the notes with no very definite Idea of the clef, signature and time mark, the three fundamentally important things upon which success depends. The mariner starting on . voyage without chart, rud- der and compass, three equally impor- tant things, would run constant risk of shipwreck. Many pupil has found himself stranded in region of flats when he should have been in SharpS; has found himself moving in waves of six eights, when the underlying current should have been in eight-eighths. He who is wise makes careful and adequate preparation for his musical voyage be- fore touching note, says The Etude, au- thority for the following;
 One of the most prevalent and distress ing habits is that of striking the hands separately instead of together in double chords and octaves, and the same fault is frequently heard in p; ages of single notes where two hands should strike si- simultaneously. The incoming of the right hand quarter or a half second after the left gives a peculiar effect to the music allowable and necessary in some passages of earnest or tender senti- ment, but used unintentionally or with false judgment it is exasperating i'll the extreme to the sensitive ear. Why the right hand should follow the left in such manner is one of the mysteries, but the habit should be avoided at all cost.
 A very natural tendency among pupils is one that is not confined to the lesson hours. There it is expected that moro or less of nervousness will be felt by the pupil, who in his excitement will hurry the movement of his work. But even in practice hours anxiety may overthrow his balance and cause, especially in hard passages, the same hindering haste. Too much cahnot be said in favor of slow, steady practice-it cures digital stam- mering and stumbling; it gives oppor- tunity for accurate comprehension of the contents of the page for honest plan ming; it largely secures command of all ones faculties, so that improvement is sure and continuous.

 To many girls who are in an office or store all day this simple arrangement will often eke out scanty meal without the added expense of an oil stove, which is something of an item when the week. ly salary is small.
 The standard may be set on the table with tho lamp where one is at work, or the lamp may be placed on the floor, and two chairs, with broom handle placed across the top of them, will answer the same purpose. The heat from the Roch- ester and other round burners is so great that it will boil water placed over it in a very few minutes. Care must be exer- cised that the kettle does not hang low enough to touch the top of the chimney. Two inches at least ought to intervene between the bottom of the kettle and the top of the chimney.

Womb Troubles,
TUBERCULOSIS.
Calculated to Cause One-sevcnth of tho
 Total Human Mortality.

Total Human Mortality.
 Dr. Anderson, the medical officer of health of Dundee, delivered an inter esting address recently, with view of quickening public interest on tho i'm portant topic of tuberculosis. Aftor re- ferring to the history of our knowledge of tho specific germ and of tho manner of it's propagation, he mentioned the fact that tuberculosis had been calcu- lated to cause one-seventh of tho total mortality of tho human race. It was remarkable that, notwithstanding this important fact, littlo practical interest had been taken in tho matter by the state, local authorities or individuals.
 An assumed theory of its unavoidable nature seemed to lie at the root of this baneful fatalisln. Dr. Anderson main tained that all tubercle baCilli were derived from predecessors of the same character, and pointed out tho facility with which this bacillus adhered to moist surfaces and propagatcd itself un- der insanitary conditions such as pre- vailed in tho ovorcrowded houses of the poor
 He also mentioned the opinion, held by bacteriologiStS. that the expired breath of those suffering from tho dis ease was comparatively innocuous, while their sputum swaImed with bacilh and on evaporation and desiccation was apt to become a fruitful sourco of infection. Hence tho paramount necessity for systematic destruction of tho sputum, disinfection of apartments occupied by those suffering from tuberculosis, and disinfection or destruction of articles of clothing likely to retain the germ. Referring to tho large mortality from tuberculose disease, Dr. Anderson men- toned, as an instance of public apathy in the matter of its prevention, the fact that very few people applied for disin- lection of material after death from this cause in comparison with the number of those who took such precautions in the case of the various levers. Passing to the subject of the disease in cattle, he pointed out tho large mortality among theso animals from this cause, and also the relation of milk supply to infant mortality from tuberculosis.
 Tho proportion of deaths from this cause in children under 5 years of age in Dundee was found to be 1 in II. All these facts pointed to the ne- cessity for the householder to safe guard his own interests. Dr. Anderson concluded his instructive address by mentioning in detail the preventive and disinfectant measures necessary to se euro tho highest possible immunity from the scourge. Lancet.

Obeylng the Law.

The laws of Iceland are so fully recog- nized that the services of a police officer are hardly necessary. Criminals arrest themselves, and the authorities have lit- tie trouble in securing the punishment of an offender. A young Icelandic friend of mine, says the writer, going across the desert from Reykjavik, met q man rid ing a pony. Such meetings are rare in these parts. and like ships on the sea the two hailed and spoke. And this was the manner and substance of their conversa- tion:
 Whats your name:"
 Stefan"
 "Whose son?'
 "Thorstein's son."
 Where are you going?"
 "To prison"
 "What for?"
 Stealing a sheep"
 "No one taking youi"
 "No. The sheriff was busy, SO he gave me my papers-the warrant for the ar rest-and sent me on to prison by my self"
 The men exchanged snuff and kiss and parted. A week later the young Icelander was returning to Reykjavik, and near the same spot he met the same man.
 "Whaty' he cried. "Stefan Thorstein! Why, you said you were going to prisonf' ''So was, and I went, but they would not let me in"
 "Why not?"
 Because had lost my papers, and the sheriff said he could not take me without my warrant"
 ''So they won't have you in prison?
 'tNo."
 "And you are going home sgains"
 "Yes."-Pearson's Weeklyi

Timely Hints as to the Acquisition of Love-
 Illness.
 The hot bath is the bath nest esteem- ed by our world famed beautiful wom- en, so hot at first to be carefully enter ed; this. done with due caution, let the water be fragrant with benZoin and foaming with the finest of soap. Use linen or Turkish washrag and rub and scrub every inch of the body until it is glowing with healthy vigor. After the scrub, let out the hot water very gradu- ally while the cold spigot empties the cold into the bath--but you must not get out-and the temperature of the bathewill be so gradually reduced that no shock will be felt; then rinse as ere fully as possible, and you will rise f. om it feeling splendidly.
 The diet is of almost as much import as bathing. Avoid pastry, Trench swel;3. fat meat and gravies. Eschew pork if you would have beautiful ski il. Choose cereals, lean meat, beef, nut ton, fowls, fish, fruit and all vegeta- bles, salads, greens and lettuce simply dressed. Avold every kind of diet that Is of oleaginous nature. For an oily face use benzoin lotion frequently and triweekly vapor bath. Frecklea are stubborn things to many, but the use of lemon juice and borax very often meets Tith 6teat success,

Japanese Girls.

It must be wretchedly poor Japanese girl who has not a silk obi-a long sash nearly foot wide, of heavy silk, and so volumiuous that it is made into fold behind which covers half of the back. Nearly all have silk crape dresses, but they arc carefully preserved, and many last lifetime.

 Saturday had promised to take Clar- eucc down to Hampton Court with the understanding that 1 was to pay the bills and Clarence to tell me what train to go upon and when to get off. We travelled third class in order to conceal the fact that I was an American. Also in order that we might smoke our black and malignant pipes. There are several ways by which one may go to Hampton Court and good many more by which one cannot go there. Some go by coach, as did some time ago and to which reference was then made.
