The Writing Master Who Conquered
His InsOient Pupils.
The teacher Of writing, Ebert, who was
German Jew, WAS II real martyr, says
Prince Kropotkin in the December Allan
tic. To be insolent with him was sort Of
Ghic among tho pagos. His poverty alone
must have been tho reason why he kept to
his lessons in our corps. The old hands,
who had said for two or three years in
the fifth form without moving higher up,
treated him very badly, but by some
means or other he had made an agreement
with them-"one frolic during each les
son, but no more An agreement which,
1 am afraid, was not always honestly kept
OIL our side.
One day one OF the occupants Of the
back forms soaked the black board sponge
with ink and chalk and flung it at the
Caligraphy martyr. Get it, EBERT" he
shouted with stupid smile. The sponge
touched Eberts shoulder, glanced into bis
face and down en- his white shirt, cover
ing both with ink and chalk.
All saw it and were sure that this time
Ebert would leave the room and report
the fact to tho Inspector; but taking out
his cotton handkerchief and wiping his
face, he only exclaimed, Gentlemen, one
frolic--no mure today!' 'All the shirt is
spoiled, d" he added In a subdued voice and
continued to correct some ones book.
We look ed stupeqed and ashamed. Why,
instead Of reporting be had thought at
once OF the agreement! All sympathies
turned In his favor. What you have done
is stupid" We repreached our comrGde

The swan.

The greater part Of swans life Is spent
In magniflcently concealing tho fact that
he is great coward, except when he ia
nesting, for then he Is no coward. There
is no passion 20 weak, according to Bacon,
''but 1t mates and masters the four Of
DEATH" and there is no creature SO timor-
Gus but in defense Of its young it becomes
valiant. Many Thames oarsman, incaI,s
tiously gliding into q bae' ~ut6f when
swans are nesting, has BIZ glad to escape
without ducking or " Isse from the in
furiated male bird, but with this incentive
to heroism removed tho swan becomes
once more as nervous as a farmyard hen.
Yet his dignity compels him to hide the
fact, and for this purpose he Stimulates ,ex-
trene ferocity when he Is in the water,
and the appearance Of a dog Oh the bank
throws him into parcxysms Of fury.-Good
Words.
