will take them each In turn and say
how dealt with them. First and most
important Is reading. A certain amount
must be intelligently gone through each
day, and 1t should be made the occasion of
pointing out how words are spelled. When
such a word as pat Is encountered, the
child should be asked TO spell mat, and so
on, till the sense of spelling Is grasped
Spelling Is best taught by means of dicta-
tion, which should be- commenced as soon
as the pupil can form letters. Writing, Of
course, must be done every day for long
time. Children, as rule, like learning
pieces of poetry, and nothing can be bet

yt Was Ossixn~d by British Subject Over
Hundred Years Ago.

The great seal of the United States IL Of
peculiar interest from the fuct that 1t IL
possibly the only one In the world that
was designed for government by the sub
Ject OF AN opposing government. We owe
our cont OF arms to sir John Prcstyrich, a
baronet of the west of England, who was a
warm friend of America and an accom-
plishcd antiquarian. His admiration for
Washington undoubtedly influenced his
design, as the Washington arms are rather
similar TO our seal. Originally the selec-
tion of the seal was left TO "A committee ap-
pointed by congress and composed of Ben
jamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas
jefferson, and they employed French
West Indian named Du Sinitiero not only
TO furnish designs but TO sketch such de-
signs AZ were suggested by themselves. In
one OF his drawings the artist displayed on
n shield the armorial ensigns of the several
nations whence America had been peopled,
embracing those of England, Scotland,
France, Germany and Holland.
After several other committees had vain
ly tried TO perfect a seal which should meet
the approval of congress Charles ThoInp-
son, its secretary, several years later, re-
ceived from John Adams, then in London,
an exceedingly simple and appropriate de-
NlCc suRStSlcu ny SlT Jonn freSbWlcn lJ
consisted of an escutcheon bearing l3 per-
pendicular stripes, white and red, with
field blue, and spangled with 13 stars and,
to give 1t great consequence, he proposed
placing on it the breast of an American
eagle without supporters, as emblematical
of self reliance. At last this met with gen.
eral approval In and out of congress and
was adopted in June, 1882. So 1t Is mani
fest, although the fact Is not extensively
known, that we are indebted for our ma
tional arms To a titled aristocrat Of the
country with which we were then at war.
1t was cut in brass soon after it had been
decided upon, and it is found on "a COM
mission dated Sept 10, 1882, granting full
power and authority to Washington TO ar
range with the British for prisoners Of war.
This seal continued in use for 90 years.
The present seal differs from 1t only in de-
tail of execution. The design of the reverse
has a pyramid, over which there is an eye
in "a triangle. Fer some reason this side of
the seal was not cut then, nor has it been
cut since, but has been allowed to go un-
noticed officially until the present day.
The second seal was cut in l841, Daniel
Webster then being secretary of state. This
one was continued in use up to 1885, when
the seal now in use was cut-New York

The Well Ordered Home.

There should be an abundance OF light
I'm the living rooms, for light is a promoter
of good health and cheerful spirits. There
should be plenty of fresh, pure air at all
times, and the water and drainage should
receive the most intelligent attention and
care. The thorough housekeeper, looking
we'll to the comfort, hcalthfulness and
beauty of her home, should be versed In
chemistry, physiology and hygiene, for a
we'll ordered household requires a good
knowledge of these very important
branches
As the most impressionable stage of life
is that of youth so should the home be
made most attractive I'm all departments
of its daily running to the child life grow
ing up and developing within its walls
Not only should the homo be well fur
nished, but it should be decorated as well
In the soft and tender harmonies of color
that seem to match the gentle moods and
nature of the mother spirit, who should be
the chief light and ornament of every
home Harsh and glaring combinations

o. snade and o,sor effect Afouid b always
avoided, and the beaucy iovins sature of
the child should be appealed to and devel-
oped as carefully as the physical.
The cooking should be beyond criticism
In point OF nutritive value and correct nc
complishment, and the serving should
match the preparation. Absolute clca nli-
ness should be emphasized In every do
partment of the daily household economy.
The intelligent, careful director of a
smoothly running home Is "a woman who
Is power in the land, and who wields a
lasting influence over the destiny of the
world. Helen Campbell

The Well Groomed Woman.

She never betrays the fact that her gown
has placket
She never wears any but the neatest Of
shoes and gloves.
She never appears otherwise than i'm
maculate. Her linen Is irreproachable
She never permits unsightly wisps of
hair TO stray over her collar or about her
temples
She never wears petticoat that would
not stand the critical inspection of her
greatest foe.
She never uses scent or extract. She per-
mits herself only fragrance Of violet and
orris sachets.
She never appears conscious and Is not
afraid TO stand with her back to her most
intimate friend.
She never looks artificial. Her skin is
clear and, above all, clean, suggesting the
abundant use of soap and cold water. -
