her pretty hands to chafe them they
tightly clutched the canvas bag to her
bosom, and only when the half crazed
Rosser forced some brandy down her

induce her to betray the hiding place Of

Appearing to yield, she told Joe to look
behind the chest in the closet which
Rosser had built of strong oak planks as
a place of safety for his few valuables.
He made her hold a candle while he

HINTS TO TEACHERS.
by Frederic Allison Tupper.)

10y II TeQeTlC luppcT.l
A ripe, juicy pear is good to eat, even
If you do not know its chemical consti-
tuents. A word Of genius gains little by
analysis. When undue attention is given
to analysis and abstracts, the student of
English literature, like the dog in the
fable, loses the substance of good piece
Of meat to gain a mere shadow.
Sometimes students have been mark
ed' out Of all love for the best things in
literature, science and art. If pupil
gets mark Of rs for the love of mercy
Qiteraly) give him 8. Marking at its best
is so unsatisfactory, that good margin
ought to be allowed for the personal
equation" 'off days" on the part of
teacher and pupil, and the thousand and
one chances that are found in school
life. Supposed generosity is often little
more than justice. Do not "haggle'
about marks, but always give the pupil
the benefit of the doubt.
AS one has said on some other subject:
1.-The more think Of marking systems,
the less / think of them"
When you find that you are giving q
pupil department marks in large num-
bers, it is not wise 10 stop, put ON your
thinking cap" and consider whether. on
the ground of unscientifc treatment of
the case, you ought not to take some Of
those black marks yourself?
II you give pupil zero, because he did
not bring in his essay at the proper time,
you are not accomplishing the object of
the exercise. The function of the teacher
Is not to give zeroes, but to get results
through the pupils physical, mental and
moral activity. Promptness is a great
virtue, but a truly original essay one
day late is worth more educationally than
innumerable ''cut and dried" encyclo-
paedia essays even when handed in ahead
of time.

New York, June 5.-There was no mis-
taking the strong bull character of to-
days market for stocks and bonds, nor
was there any room for doubt that the
motive for the buying was greatly in
creased confidence over the general out
look for business in the country. The
bear element was not q factor in the
market at any time during the day ex-
cept as eager buyers to cover short con-
tracts before prices should rise beyond
their reach. There was some profit taking
at intervals by the more conservative
minded traders, but apparently their only
