The depth of water has considerable

water, the stern. or after part, is

is caused by the water not filing with
sufficient quickness the cavity at the
stern caused by the forward move

at the stern causes the ship to settle

The relations between visitor and
her hostess never require to he more

visit Is made in town. In the country
visitor has very little opportunity of
taking her own line; on the contrary
she has to follow the routine arranged
by her hostess. and has only to acqui-
esce in what is proposed to be done
each day. II is different in town,
where the rule is for host and host
ess to accept invitations for themselves,
whether visitor will be STAYING with
them ut the time or not, although n
hostess generally informs the intended
visitor beforehand of her dinner en-
gagements, to give the opportunity of
making engagements for herself in the
evenings in question:; for when host
and hostess dine out, their visitor is
usually expected to do the same at the
house of relative or friend.
Again. as regards evening parties
and dances, It much depends upon
whether the visitor is young and
pretty girl or lady of middle age, as
to asking permission to take her or not
In the generality of cases hostess

ENGLISH GRAMMAR.

Do you like TO teach grammar? Do
your pupils like TO study it? To one
or both of these questions most
teachers must answer "no.' This
most important of studies seems to
be the one least appreciated by pu'
pills and most despised by teachers
This is indeed a discouraging con-
dition. No one doubts the impor-
lance of language. Its constant
and varied use, its powerful influ'
ence on all phases of life is suffi'
cient to place 1t first of all accom-
plishments. No other single ac-
complishment will give a person
the influence, the power, the general
advantages in the world that Ian
guage will. This is demonstrated
in every phase of, human expert
ence. Look around you at the lead
ers in society, in politics, or in the
financial circles, and see If they are
not the persons who are capable OF
expressing themselves clearly and
forcibly, men who can tell what
they think and tell II in such a way
az to impress Il upon others. Many
man who is well posted upon sub
jects of public importance, whose
Judgment is good and who might
be a man of powerful influence, ID
compelled to cit back and give place
to the man who knows much less
but can tell what he knows. No
person can expect a powerful influ-
ence without a reasonable command
of language. An encyclopedia lie q
storehouse of knowledge, but II has
not expression. In fact the most
casual observer cannot fail to rec.
ognize the importance of this par
ticular branch. But why this pre-
vailing sentiment against grammai
and why are the results 30 unsatis-
factoryf Most of the pupils who

courses are very deficient in Ian
guagef Most persons who are edu-
Gated In other lines are deficient in
this. This ought not to be so. Ex-
preston is natural to man and the
study of language ought to be the
pleasantest study in school work.
Then the fault must be not in the
subject but in the manner of hand
ling the subject. This we think is
true. If we desire to become prof.
cient in solving problems, we solve
problems. II we desire to become
proficient in reading we read. If
in music we sing. but If we desire
to become proficient in talking. in
expressing our thoughts, which is
the true object of the study of Ian
guage, do we talk? We do not. We
Immediately set about silently and
diligently studying various defini-
lions and forms, and this resolves
itself into a memory drill purely
and we have no thought of talking.
How often do we hear pupils repeat
pages of conjugation or declension
without the slightest conception of
what il means, or what relation il
holds to the ordinary language. 1t
avails very little to require boy to
commit to memory and repeat the
declension of the pronoun and then
permit him to say in the next
breath, "him and me did it," or to
give the principal parts OF the verb
and permit him to say II seen him
do it," Certain forms and defini-
tons are essential and very helpful
to the proper understanding and
use of language, when properly
taught and applied, but we must
not lose sight of the fact that the
principal object is to talk. would
rather my child would spend the
same time in conversation with
some person of intelligence and re-
finement and who used proper Ian
guage, than to be provided with the
best text book and teacher who
teaches according to the ordinary
method. He will make better prog
ress in the use of language in a
given time. Why is this so: 1t is
because the one is teaching by a
natural method, the other by an I'M
natural method. The first method
il agreeable, in fact delightful; the
other il unpleasant, laborious. The
first is teaching language, the other
/ teaching grammar. And here we
believe lies the secret of the whole
matter. We teach too much gram
mar and not enough language. We
do not make practical application
of what we teach. Hence we COM
pei pupils to put in years at the
hardest kind of labor, taxing the
mind and the patience with vast
amount of material which never be-
comes of practical value to them.
Teachers often use no better Ian
guage than their pupils. Such
teachers can never hope to be very
successful as language teachers.

The teacher should be a master of
the English language and teach it
by practical methods, making use
of the definitions and forms of
grammar only when there is de-
mand for them to assist in under

Aside from the pleasure which Don

when the French troops entered To-

Don Quixo,e's Dulcinea, they spared the
inhabitants in many ways, out OF re-
gard to the heroine of Cervantes' Won
derful story. Whenever the French
soldiers saw woman ut q window
they cried out laughingly. "Ah, there
is Dulcincar' Their gayety tranquil
lied the frightened people; and With
cisins upon Dulcinea and Don QuiXote

soldiers and the inhabitants. and the
