GOOD MANNERS IN SCHOOL,

A Western school, the Waterloo
High School of Indiana, has recently
adopted a code of rules for depOrt-
ment, which commends itself as
eminently judicious:
/. We will not communicate, nor
ask to communicate while in the
school building.
2. We will keep refined positions
in our school seats.
3. We will cultivate a light step.
+. We will not ask for individual
favOrs.
5. We will prepare all writing ma
terial in the morning.
6. We will make the school rOOIn a
place of quietude.
These rules on general manners
also have been signed:
l.. Will not allow others to be more
polite to us than we are to them.
2. We will not make ourselves
OdiOus in the use of tobacco.
And here I some street manners :
1. We will, on passing people in the
street, give them half of the walk.
2. We will not jeer at any one on
the street or off the street.
3. We, the gentlemen, will tip
hats to ladies.
4. We will avoid being boisterous
wherever we may be.

WANTED A GIRL.

Yes, wanted, d girl "a daughter,
in thousands of homes, bright, smil-
ing, helpful, always ready to hold
the baby, set the table, or sweep the
floor, and to do these things so hap
PLY, and cheerfully, and we'll, that
the baby will crow, the table will
look like d well-balanced picture, and
careful, critical grandmother will
find no dust under the chairs or in
the corners of the room. Wanted
a loving daughter, the touches of
whose ~caressing fingers brings a
happy light to the weary eyes of
father and mother, the sound of
whose CHEEKY voice and mellow
laughter Is a JOY to the whole house
hold. Where is there u home in
which such a daughter is not wanted?
Does anyone know such d girl? There
is a situation open for her. She is
advertised for, sought for she can
have any place she wants the world
is hers,-but why are there not more
applicants?-Ah, she is already Oc-
cupied; she has a home which can
not give her up she is enshrined in
the hearts of father and mother her
brothers have bound her about with
the cords of love, and will not let
her go.
Those are sorrOwing homes where
she is not; for they have a lack
which is hard to fill. Blessed be the
daughter of the household. God
comfort the home that has her not

FRACTIONS

Bright children in school are in
great danger sometimes of passing
over the the border line of mathemat-
les into the forbidden domain of COM
mon sense. A teacher once said to
her class in mental arithmetic:
"Now, boys, Ihave a few questions
in fractions to ask. Suppose 1 have
Il piece of beefsteak and cut it into
two pieces. What would those pieces
be called?"
"Halves - shouted the class.
Right. And if 1 cut each half
into two pieces?"
Quarters !"
THAT is correct. Andif the quar-
tiers were each cut in half"
"Eighths -
Yes. And if those were chopped
in twO?"
The answers had been growing
fewer andfewer, but one boy medi-
tated a moment, and answered:
''Sixteenths '"
Very good. And when the six
teenths e cut in half, what would
they be-"
There was silence in the class, but
presently "a little boy at the foot put
up his hand.
DO you know, Jonny? Well, you
NAV tell me-"

dently-and trulv.-Ex.

We remember reading in an old
book of '.Catechism Anecdotes"
about a number of reckless persons
who organized themselves into a

approached the fire with d Bible in

TOWARD THOSE WE LOVE.

Browning says that a man has two
s1des-one to front the world with,
the other to show to the woman
that he loves. May it not be that a
cause of much of woman's heartache
is that the man she loves habitually,
but thoughtlessly, carries into her
presence the side with which he
fronts the world? The standards Of
business and politics that determine
the relations of men to each other.
Ire not the standards of home. In
that circle one m into the realm
OF sentiment and affection. There
the great thing is not to assert your
rights, but to give others more than
they have a right to require. Even
when you raise the question, What
ought you to do,you have broken the
charm. Love Outruns duty, and
when you ask what is your duty, you
have fallen to a lower plane. The
joy OF the true home life is that it is
lrradlated with the light of affection,
ard that each member of it shows to
the other a side of his nature that
the world does not see. We ought
not to be surprised when it is said of
some cold and hard man that he is an
admirable husband and father, tender
hearted and cOnsiderate. Even Shy
lock lOsesa his character toward
Jesslca, and what a touch Shake
speare gives us when ShylOck speaks
of the turquoise ring that Leah gave
him! The cold, hard attitude to-
ward the world is not to be defended,
but it is most hateful when that
temper is manifested toward those
that love us.-The Waterman.

Special Correspondence
Paris France, July 2.-Eyery
thoughtful traveller has doubtless felt
how much more interesting are the
people Of country than are their
monuments. cothedrals, museums. or
even their international expositions.
But how can a writer tell about the
people Of a country or portray them, or
catch the million evanescent flashes by
which they show all the li,ueness and
greatness Of their character? The
French are said TO be a shallow and
volatile race. but IS NJ. Taine shallow?
Can any one. after reading Lourdes,'
