WHAT THEY DID.

"Yes I've raised up a large
family, but none Of the children
ar left with me" replied the old
man in answer to my question,
says the New York Journal man.
Last var | made up my mind
they'd never amount to anythin'
unless they made a start fur
themselves, and so bought Bill
a shotgun and says:
"Bill, this year roost amt fur
20, no mo-. Jest 60 out and do
suthin' to start yo'self along
"And Bill he took that gun and
went over to Orange Valley and
shot a gevenoo officer and got in
to State prison fur life, and is all
settled down. When he had
gone bought a bike for Sally
and took it home and says:
"Sally, this yere roost amt fur
yo' no mo-. Git on that bike
and 90 out into the world and
ketch a man.
"And she didn't lose two
minits hoppin' into the saddle
and whizzin' up the road, and in
two weeks she was married TO a
feller who saved her from gettin'
run over by g six-mewl team.
The day arter she left l called Joe
up and says to him:
"Joe, yer mouth ar too big
and yer knees ar shackley, but
mebbe thar's suthin' in ye arter
all. I'll gin ye that old blind OK
to make a start with, and don't
yo' come back to this roost no
mo-
"Joe took the OK and went, and
shuck my hide, if he didn't lead
him down to the railroad and git
him killed by a train and rake in
$40 damages! Yes, sab, and he
bought mewl with the money
and is gittin' rich by carryin' the
mails. jim was next. | calls
him up and looks him over and
sez;
"Jim, yo's too pizen lazy to eat
good bacon, but Pm goin' to send
yQ' out to hustle. All / can spar
yo' is q dollar in cash. Don't
cum back to this roost till yo've
made yer fortune,
"Jim took the dollar and went,
and durn my buttons if he didn't
hire out to u dime museum man
as the champion terbaccen chew
er of the world, and he's now
drawin' a salary Of $500 a week
and board! Thar was one left
and that was Sue, and ! calls her
up and says
"Sue, it's time fpr yo' grown
edup chill'en to be a-gottin,' I'll
buy yo' u new par o. shoes and
a sunhonnet and yo' must light
out "Sue started right off
next day aud got married, and
up to this time she's eloped three
times, sot the house afire twice
and pizened her husband once.
Looks like she'd do the best of
the hull lot.

VIEWS ON DISCIPLINE.

no influence, his little bursts of
passion produce only a tempo
rary effect
Before the teacher enters the
school-room it is best to decide
to take things in a cool, deliber-
ate manner, for there are many
things that will arise that will
vex his very soul, and he will
long to deal out justice at that
very moment. But it is almost
always better to wait and give the
matter eal eful thought. My ex-
perience is very limited, but l
have learned many things, things
/ will never forget the longest
day | live. 1t seems to me that
each day | learn something new.
One thing | have never done is
TO make more rules than | just
simply had to. | can remember
going to school and on the first
day the teacher would, as soon
as he had enrolled the names of
the pupils, proceed to read sew
eral pages of rules, consisting of
what we must do and what we
must not do, and often under
these very rules have seen un-
deserving pupils punished, and
the peal offending one, who was
cunRing enough to shift the
punishment upon a weaker one,
escape,
| agree With Mr.. Chaplin in
saying that Every few pupils are
actuated by any more motives for
IRisconduct than mischief, the
natural attendant of good health
and animal spirit" But it is
not this class of pupils that
causes the teacher trouble. 1t is
those four OF five bad ones, bad
within themselves as the text
expresses it These are the ones
who bring trouble to the teach,
,er, who cause disorder wherever
they go.
Do you know would like tc
sec a school that was controlled
by this motive: "The gooc
order Of the school demands tha
we obey your orders" IT woulc
he q great pleasure to know tina
pRe eyen existed, | have always
fouad that the pupils obeyee
simply because they had to.
Freedom must be given ver.
sp4piIgly to pupils. They watcl
everything closely, not a thing
escapes their scrutinizing gaze
Step by step they push themselves
forward, and with each step they
grow bravep, and before we know
it, they have obtained freedom
for themselves, freedom that the!

gle.
In nothing in this world car

soon grow tired of keeping up
false position, and as soon as
the sham is dropped then the
ulfluence of that person is gone
1t is impossible to carry out 6
make believe-part, If we DO no
love oup work it is best to drop il
at once.
The main point lies in getting
pupil Interested in his work
When this has been accomplished
very little trouble will be had
But a teacher works under
great many disadvantages
Often parents thoughtlessly dis
courage their children. Just in
the fiye months | have been
teaching have observed several
cases OF this kind. The teacher
has to 90 to work and make the
pupil believe that he does know
something and that he can learn
s9msthing before one satisfactory
lesson can be obtained from
him.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

In the east the rose of Jericho is said
to blossom at Christmas, close at Coco
Friday, and open again on Easter mo1a.
Genuine tartans, which word Mr..
S;reat etymologically derives from TIE
French teretaine, are known and nuin-
bered, and, although doubts have been
cast on the dates of their origin, ara
of undeniable antiquity.
The region of the Landes, in
France, which so years ago was one Of
the poorest and most miserable in that
country have been made one of
the most prosperous owing to the
planting of pines. The increased value
is estimated at 100000 pounds ster-
ling.
In old times plum pottage" was
served on Christmas day. 1t was made
of chopped raisins, currants, prunes,
and figs, spices, candied peel, and
bruised wheat, milk, butter, and eggs.
CT adually minced suet crept into it,
ard a stiff pudding was made, or pot
tage," as it was called then; and this
is very much like our indispensable
plum buildings of to-day.
The extreme height of full-grown
male giraffe may be put down at 10
feet, or a trifle over, that of a mature
female at about II feet. These animals
hare practically defenseless. When
brought to standstill they will chop
out dangerously with the fore feet if
approached too closely, and OCCASION
ally among themselves they butt with
their heads, but otherwise they are
quite defenseless.
On the subject of lilacs being gen.
orally neglected, Mr.. Step, in his Fa-
vcrite Flowers of Garden and Green
house, says: Their numerous suck
ers are allowed to grow unchecked, and
consequently the elegant tree becomes
shapeless bush, that flowers sparing-
ly. The chief attention required is the
removal of these suckers and the dig
cling in of fresh soil from time to time.
Tie waste of energy stopped. main
trunk is formed, and the bush be-
comes a tree upon which, in spring
time, blossoms are more conspicuous
than leaves"

TEARS ON HER WEDDING GOWN
Damage Was Irreparable and the
Seamstress WINS DischnrEed.

A young woman of this city who is
about to be married, had call recently
which was in the nature of a surprise,
and affected her unpleasantly, like a
decree of fate.
She was summoned to the parlor.
where young woman of her own age
awaited her, but who was evidently
very differently situated in life, and
who was now weeping softly.
Il have called to make an apology"
said the girl between her sobs. 81 am
a seamstress employed by Miss Smith
who is making your wedding gown.
There are several of us girls working
on it, but to-day l got to thinking and
then was nervous and cried, and some
of my tears dropped on the silk"
''And ruined it?" suggested the own
er of the gown with tragic motion.
mo, there was no damage done, but
Miss Smith was very angry, and said it
meant bad luck to cry over a wedding
gown, and she discharged me. | am
very sorry, and l don't believe such a
trifiing thing can bring you any harm,
and | thought if you would be kind
enough to ask her Miss Smith would
take me back know she would not-re-
fuse you"
Then this fortunate young woman
said:
Il wouldn't have had it happen for
the world-the tears, | mean-and
think Miss Smith did perfectly right to
discharge you before you had ruined
other wedding gowns. 1t should be a
lesson"
