Bungli ng Methods of Instruction.

Some tales put one in mind Of those
clocks and watches which are con-

object, to show the hour, tell you the
day of the month or the week, give
you landscape for dial plate, with
the second hand forming the sails Of
a windmill, or have a barrel to play a
tune, or an alarm to remind you Of
an engagement, all very good things
in their way, but so it Is, that these
watches never tell the time so we'll as
those in which that is the exclusive
object of the maker. Every additional
movement is an obstacle to the origi-

She lay back against the cushion

the northern tier Of lakes the hurri-

Hundreds of vessels, warned OF the
peril, remained in port and refused to
risk the danger of voyage. At Buff

velocity of eighty miles an hour, and
at other points it was almost as
severe. Ohio and Colorado suffered
heavy loss from tornadoes. In the
