It was his first visit to church, and
his big brown eyes watched every
thing. He saw the new corners drop
their heads on the pew rails in front
of them as they entered and in
moment raise them again
Why do they put their heads down?
he whispered to his older sister, VINO
was with him.
They say a little prayer she whisper
ed back.
But they don't talk, argued brown
eyes, not convinced.
No, they think, explained the sister,
and shall think little prayer? was
the next question.
If you like, was the reply, and the
big brown eyes were shut, the small
little face dropped against the rail
In a moment or two the head was
raised and the little fellow crept back
on the cushions.

the words wouldn't stay down in my

anxiously.
No, brown eyes, God will not care.

airy that morning was there one whose
soul was so honestly trying to pray as
yours?

A wonderful natural cavern was dis

Train your pupils to think on their
feet. One of the weaknesses of much
of our higher teaching is that we ac-
cept text book answers in the class
room without making any special eff
fort to arouse thought. But beyond
this, one of the great essentials in
good teaching is to train pupils to ex-
press themselves readily while stand
ing. Let the work begin in the public
school, and keep it up. One of the
most valuable features of the old
mental arithmetic drill, was that of
requiring pupil to stand in an easy
graceful position while going through
the solution of problems. 1t is often
hard thing for man TO forget him
self as he stands before an audience,
but proper preliminary drill i'm the
lower grade schools will enable the
pupil to gain confidence in himself,
and thinking and speaking on his feet
will become comparatively easy.

HOLLANDS GIRL QUEEN.

All the world likes to gossip about a
queen, especially if she be a young
one. It is not surprising, therefore,
that the crop of special articles con-
corning Wilhelmina, the "baby queen
of Holland, y is large, nor in view of
the human tendency to idealize those
in high places, that she is generally
represented as being child of un-
usually angelic temper and other
dovelike attributes.
In spite of these assertions those
who are Gin the know assert that
she is impetuous, quick tempered and
hard to get along with. Her one re-
deeming quality is said to be an affec-
tionate disposition, which causes her
quickly to regret the infection of pain
upon others. Between her and her
mother. who has often been enthusi-
astically described as a model royal
mamma, but who appears really to be
simply good natured AM convention
al, there often occur most amusing
battles of royal will. More than once
the young queen has said in effect to
the old one, after some particularly
exasperating difference:
s'You just wait till am married and
real queen, and you are no longer
queen regent. Then we shall see who
is mistress about this place!"
So wayward and eccentric is the
young girl indeed that many look for
ward with great apprehension to the
will come when she is married, and as
queens generally mate quite young
and she is now Is the marriage will
take place as soon as is reasonably
possible after her husband has been
selected. This man will not be king
by any means, though he will proba-
bly, have the courtesy title of king-or
prince consort.
Queen Victoria, by the way, was
much such a girl as the young queen
Of Holland is now, and between the
present queen of England and her
mother there were many such disput-
es as are reported between the two
queens of Holland. Yet, although af-
ter Victoria became reigning queen
she failed tn show her mother, the
Duchess of Kent, much respect, in all
monarch. Thus there is some reason
to hope that the i'm pulsive girl queen
of Holland will soften with age

FREE FIGHTS in coREA
Fierce Encounters Between Contendin

Fierce Encounters Between Contendina
Guilds.
Remarkable features of the social
life of the capital, Chosen, are the
various guilds and their great stone
and stick fights. Neighboring towns
and villages who are jealous of each
other also settle their differences by q
stone fight in the first moon, such
period being universally set aside for
fights, both public and private. Chill
dren are encouraged to fight by their
parents, who hope to make them hardy
and courageous-sides are made up
and they fight till they are exhausted.
The butchers and the mud plasterers
had fierce feud, and it was decided
to settle it by a pitched battle on a
plain outside the south gate. On the
day appointed some eighteen hundred
men went down to fight, a stream
dividing the two camps.
The battle began with volleys OF
stones as the belligerents neared each
other, and when one party forced its
way over the stream and all came to
close quarters the fighting was carried
on with clubs and knives. 1t was a
drawn battle, so the leaders decided,
and was renewed few days later, VIC
tory eventually resting with the plas-
terers. Very few were killed, says Mr..
Landor, though none escaped without
a wound; but the whole affair sounds
like one of Lucian's grotesque battles.
The court patronizes these extraordi-
nary duels, and the king is kept in
formed of the results. The police, of
course, take care that the by-standers
do not come in for any hard knocks.

dies Costumes.
Every season someb body makes de-
termined effort to crowd the enormous
ly stiff and uncomfortable collars back
from the throat, but, for some unex-
withdrawn little, so that the wearer
can get little natural and easy
breath, than up they go again more
fluffy and close than before.
The vest, chemisette, pulled front
and gu1mpe ideas are: however, sus-
ceptible Of so many notifications that
women may wear thin materials around
the velvet and satin that SO many of
them seem to prefer. Of course, there
is convenience and economy in
thicker fabrics; they stay in place
and keep fresh much longer than
thin ones. and are there
fore more universally adopted. Neck
wear plays such a prominent part in
present-day dressing that it is worth
while to study it from an artistic stand
point. It is said that the stock-collar
has seen it's best days, and that beaded
collars and bands of elaborate embroid-
cry are likely to take its place. This
has points of advantage, as very many
people are tired of SO much material
around the throat.
A dress of black satin has the waist
made with a collar and pointed vest of
embroidery. From the shoulder seams
to the bodice points five folds are laid
in thu material. These are drawn
over the bust and narrowed into a
very small space at the waist-line,
where they are held down by three
buttons on either side.
A pretty and stylish waist for a
young lady has the collar and yoke of
passementerie. A cascade front of
lace extends from yoke to belt. This
is worn with cutaway or Elton jacket.
A handsome imported waist is made
of taffeta silk. The waist has fitted
lining. and the fullness is smoothly
drawn down over it. There is a high,
straight collar of the material, and this
and the entire upper part of the waist
are covered with most elaborate
passementerie. Fine scroll-work and
arabesques begin at the collar, increas-
ing in size and richness upon the shout
ders, and forming a yoke with irregu-
lar lower edges. From these depend
very long strings of beads and cords
tipped with tassels and made orna-
ments. The sleeves are full puffs above
the elbows, with plain lower portions.
Embroidery becomes more promi-
nent in handsome costumes as the sea-
son advances. An imported dress has
the front almost covered with en-
broidery, and there are side sections
that look like wide box-plaits with
vines and sprays in richly-wrought
needlework. Entire waistfronts. cuffs,
yokes and fronts of skirts are finished
in bead work, and novelty is COR
selet of passementerie with long points
reaching to the foot of the skirt. |
There are four of these points, two on
either side. Deep cuffs with long
points reaching well up on to the
sleeves and plain close collar to
match, make the finish to this cos
tune.
Beaded lace is used for yokes, and
one handsome dress has beaded yoke
with very fine beaded lace in a full |
rufis from the edge of the yoke, the
rufie gathered in at the lower portion
