1t was Uncle Timothy's first visit to

Favors Small Men and Horses

Gen. Dragomiroff has expressed his
dissent from the views of some English
officers who praised the French regi-
ments of the line, but thought less Of
the cavalry. Fine, big horses, says the
General, may be no good at all for cav
airy purposes. 1t is a mistake to re-
quire big men and massive horses; both
want plenty of food and at regular
times. Mettlesome little men and
horses are incomparably better for all
present-day purposes. Who wants them
now to charge squares? They are
chiefly good as advanced guards and
as scouts In a strange country.
The Cossack horse, which is not much
bigger than pony, is worth a dozen
less spirited big cavalry horses such as
the English admire. The General has
also had his say about balloons. They
are very little good in his opinion. I'M
less to the enemy. A balloon is trait
or in the sense that 1t reveals the
whereabouts Of an enemy, which might
without 1t remain concealed. Those
In 1t get a deceptive notion of the sur
face OF the country, which looks, unless
where there are high hills, quite fat.
A church tower or tall tree oil an
ton. The General declares the endur-
ing little French linesman, who march
es fourteen hours at stretch, to be
''the most delightful being that ever
WAS"

Few persons hear accurately, be-
cause few have been trained to do so.
Yet it is one of the foundation stones
of all the good to be accomplished by
the teacher. Its culture should not only
precede most other things, but should
accompany them all. Unless the pupil
is listening acutely and inlerestedly, OF
what avail are the teachers instruc-
tons, be they ever so valuable in them
selves? Much of the trouble of school
life, many Of the teachers sorest dis
appointments and most depressing fail
ures, come from the lack of training in
looking and listening.

We need to bear constantly in mind
that the blame which attaches to Ill
temper Is not to be wholly thrown upon
those who give way to it. Those who
are naturally amiable must bear por-
ton of the responsibility. If they have
held aloof in simple dlsapproval, if they
have not strlven to discover its cause,
to ward off its approach, to understand
the temptations that lead to 1t, to allay
the rising excitement, to soothe ruffied
feelings, and to strengthen the power
of self-control In those with whom they
consort, they cannot hold themselves
guiltless, though their own temper may
be placid, their own feelings serene and
tranquil, and their own power of self
command unquestioned.
