cant, it was impossible to call him to

The Market Place.

There is no doubt that the protection
which used to be accorded to the mar
ket place from the earliest barbarian
times has played an important, though
not an exclusive, part in the emancipa-
ton of the medieval city. The early
barbarians knew no trade within their
village communities; they traded with
strangers only, at certain definite spots,
on certain determined days. And, in
order that the stranger might come to
the barter place without risk of being
slain for some feud which might be run
ming between two kins, the market was
always placed under the special pro-
lection of all kins. 1t was inviolabIe,
like the place of worship under the
shadow of which it was held
With the KabyleS it is still annaya,
like the footpath along which women
carry water from the WELL neither must
be trodden upon in arms, even during
inter tribal wars. In medieval times
the market universally enjoyed the
same protection. No feud could be
prosecuted on the place whereto people
came to trade, nor within a certain ra-
dius from it; and if a quarrel arose
in the motley crowd of buyers and sell
ers, it had to be brought before those.

"rhe schoo1roonn voice.


There is no doubt whatever that in
many instances the teacher herself
creates in the school-rOom the inatten-
ton. disorder and rebellion which she
is constantly endeayoring to prevent
or remedy. What may be termed the
"schooI-room voice" is more proyoca-
tive of disorder and disobedience than
all other causes combined.
We are all susceptible to the infiu-
eQce of voices Occasionally we hear
one that rouses every element of our
nature into the most violent, and what
often seems the most unreasonable,
antagonism to the speaker. 81 can
never hear that woman speak," said
a bright young college student of one
of her instructors; that 1 don't just
long to cuff her ears; yet she is one
of the loyeliest members of the fac

We are all familiar with that quality
of voice whose effect is described in
the significant words, Setting ones

phoricaI expression is often the literal
truth. We generally conceive, TOO, a

than any other class of persons, are
prone to this misuse of the voice and
the consequent physical suffering ard

"HOw teachers should talk" will be
considered in a subsequent article 1t
is certain that they should be able to
talk easily, to talk agreeably, to talk
in such way as to produce no injury
to the vocal organs, and at the same
time to do this talking a vast amount
of which is so necessary-in a way to
secure attention. command respect, and
quiet disorder. All this is a very easy
thing to do provided the teacher knows

go through an elaborated logical proc
ess of mind in order to free ourselves
from the prejudice so engendered-
fortunate if we can succeed in our en-
deavorS.
Children are even more susceptible
to voices than are adults. They are
quickly wol or repealed by them, and
although they are themselves probably
ignorant of the cause certain tones
arouse in them an obstinate, Sullen
and rebellious spirit Contempt too,
for the speaker is sometimes excited,

pered to his neighbor while he pointed

Tones make far more impressions
than words. Try to call a child to you,
and no matter what hard words you
use to him if the tone is a caress;ng one
he readily responds to it. Call him
the most endearing terms in harsh
tone and he is effectually repealed.
We hear persons talking in an adjoin-
ing room. Perhaps not a word of their
conversation is Ineligible to us, yet
we confidently assert, ''They are very
angry" or, "They are very much
amused" or, Somebody is in trouble"
A good voice is IAN excellent thing
in either man or woman, but to the
teacher it seems to be one of the essen
tial elements of success. The sus-
ceptibility to its influence upon the
part of the child, the fact that he can
not escape from it, no matter how irri-
tating it may be, and the necessity for
the teacher to be talking during the
greater part Of the time, all emphasize
the necessity for the tone to be an
agreeable-at any rate, not a disagree
able-one.
There are many teachers who con-
tend that pleasant tones are impossi-
BILE in the school room; not that they
are not desirable, but that the large
ness or the noisiness of the room, the
inattention or disorder of the pupil,
make the use of them out of the Ques-
ton. Such teachers believe and main
tain that 1t is only loud, hard and sharp
tones that can have the effect of secur-
ing the attention or quelling the dis

Moreover, no bad quality of voice
can be constantly used without it's
having bad physical effect upon the
speaker. A natural tone is always an
agreeable tone. Natural voices can
never, at least, give offense, although

others. A hard, sharp or nasal tone

cal organs and this wrong use persist

Two Kinds of Politeness.

Al anecdote, told by Frances Power
Cobbe, in her Life" is good iIlustra-
ton of the difference between English
and French pOliteness, and also of the
defects of both nations in the matter of
good manners. Miss Cobbe had friend,
Alice L'Estrange, who was going from
London to Paris alone. Knowing that
a distinguished old French gentleman
of her acquaintance, Baron de T., was
crossing by the same train, Miss Cobbe
wrote and begged him to look after her
friend on the way.
He replied in the kindest and most
graceful manner that he would be de-
lighted to render any service to her
friend

at Boulogne it appeared that the lady's
luggage had either gone astray or been
stopped by the custom-house people.
She was in a difficulty; the train for
Paris was ready to start, and the French
officials paid no attention to her en-
treaty that her trunks should be deIiv-
cred and put into the van to take with
her.
OF course the appearance by her side
of French gentleman with the ribbon
of the Legion of Honor in his button

man affairs. We don't know much

ed bears and rhinoceros and such small
deer about our primeval forests; GER
tainly not enough to say whether he
used lamps or candles, or perforce
contented himself with the ruddy glow
of the fire, around which he would sit
with his family, toasting mammoth
marrow or grilling hyena steaks or
other toOthSome morsels
Perhaps our primitive nan was too
fond of fat as an article of diet to care
to waste it in experiments, else he
might easily have invented the rush

still made and used in primitive house
holds such as you find now and then
among the Welsh hills.
A bundle of dried rushes dipped sew

primitive man may have known how
to make. If he had not arrived at
his muttons, the fat of the cave bear

turn.-All the Year Round.
