A weak point in the graded school
system is that clever pupils are held
back to the general level of the class,
or dull pupils are discouraged and
crushed" by the advancement of their
mates. The board of education in Ba-
tavia, New York, seems to have
remedied this difficulty by providing
larger grade-rooms In which twice the
usual number OF children can be as
senb under two teachers, one teach
er to conduct the classes and the
other to give all her time to helping
the slower scholars. THE effect of the
change was instantaneous" writes the
president of the board, "in putting
confidence into the laggards, in max
ing them the equals OF their brighter
neighbors, in giving an onward move
ment to the grades. in relieving the
teachers of all strain, and in ending
after-school drudgery and home work !"
To attain any one of these results
would warrant pretty radical meas
uves.

it was a peculiar thing that Jack built

FUTURE BRIDES.
Useful Information TO the Prospective N
~ beginning Married Life.

Useful Information to the Prospective N
" beginning Married Life
6egin your married life in home Oh
your own is sound advice to all pros
pective brides. Boarding is at best
lazy way of existence, and the young
couple who commence life in this way
will surely regret it sooner or later.
Take house, no matter how small IL
must be, make careful selection Oh
rugs, curtains and furniture, and, when
the little nest has been cozily furnish
ed, settle down to become acquainted
with each other-for this is matter
of no small amount.
Living in his own house, the man at
once becomes a factor in society,
while in a clearinghouse he is but a
grain of sand. So it is with woman.
In her own home, her interest is con-
stantly aroused, every womanly in
stinct is called FORTH and she con-
stantly becomes more and more wo-
manly and lovable.
1t is the woman who boards who be-
c mes the triaer, not the woman who
has her own home. 1t is the woman
who boards who becomes flippant, not
the woman whose thoughts are centred
on her household. 1t is the woman
who boards who becomes the gossip,
not the woman with home ties and
home cares. A woman who spends a
few years in clearinghouse becomes
accustomed to the ease and comforts
which surround her, without any exer-
ton on her own part, and she becomes
more and more reluctant as the years
pass by to exert herself to make
home for her family.
Children brought up in a boarding
house lose the best part of their right
full Inheritance, for they have no
home association, no happy recollec-
ton of their home life, in true pleas
ure to which they can look back when
they have become men and women.
Make, then, a home, girls, to which
you can look back after many years
have passed with pleasant thoughts Of
the many happy hours that were pass
ed beneath your own rooftree.
There are cares and trials in every
home, but the pleasures are also to
be found there rather than in a board
lng-house, where gossip and idleness
are among the chief features and
"here nome pleasures are lacking.

Sentiment ms to Old Signs,

People who think that there is no
sentiment in commercial life need
only wander about any of the old bus
mess centres of New York to have
their belief changed. They will see
old signs, some of them in a state of
decay, almost bordering on dissolu-
ton, on the walls of the houses of the
older firms.
In some instances these signs re-
main even though the name of the
firm has been changed. In cases in
which sons have succeeded to the
business, many of the old signs of the
firm which established the business
are still to be seen. Many are wealth
erworn, and the lettering almost indis-
tinct; but the present firms do not
permit them to be retouched.
Occasionally the boards split, and
the edges break. These ravages are
repaired for safety's sake but the dim
outlines of the lettering remain.
A sign writer who had been called
to repair one of these ancient land
marks in Greenwich street, asked the
head of the firm, who represents the
third generation in the concern, if he
should not regild the letters.
Certainly not" was the answer.
"If ! consented to your doing that |
should expect the business of this firm
to fail"
In some cases in which new names
have succeeded to the business old
signs have been removed from the
outer walls and placed inside. In an
office in Broadway store there is an
old wooden sign suspended over the
desk of the grandson of the founder
of the firm, who is at the head of the
business.
Il couldn't think of leaving the old
sign out of doors at night" said the
young man, who looked at it with a
glow of pride. 81 have heard my faith
er say that when that sign was first
put up by his father all the merchants
in this part of the town came over and
looked at it, and admired it, and nv
grandfather gave them dinner on az
count Of it. If I ever go out of bust
ness that sign goes to my house"
There is an old sign over the main
entrance to the Office of an old concern
in "'illia"' street which has no con-
nection with the firm doing business
in the place, but the firm has stead
fastly declined to have it removed all
though the old firm went out of exist
ence nearly fifty years ago.

WISE SAYINGS OF WISE MEN.

l ami not yet so lost in photography
as to forget that words are the daugh-
tiers of earth and that things are the
sons of heaven.-Samuel Johnson.
Worthy ends come not by wishing.
Wouldst thou?
Up and win it, then.
While the hungry lion slumbers, not
deer comes to his den.
Weep not! Life the hired nurse IS
holding us little space;
Death, the mother who doth take US
back into our proper place.
In the land where no wise men are.
men of little wit are lords;
And the castor oils tree, where no
tree else it's shade affords.
Among the blind the one-eyed man
is king.
Meeting makes a parting sure;
Life is nothing but deaths door.
Hard it is to conquer nature; If a dog
were made king
Mid the coronation trumpets he would
gnaw his sandal string.
Who speaks unasked, or comes unbid,
Or courts on service-will be child.
Looking down on lives below them,
men of little store are great;
Looking up to higher fortunes, hard to
each man seems his fate.
From The Vedas.
Injustice in the end produces indie
pendence. -Voltaire.
The true use of speech is not so
much to express our wants as to con-
ceal them. Goldsmith.
Preserving the health by too strict
a regimen is wearisome malady.
La Rochefoucauld.
What is honorable is also safest.
-Livy.
The greatest hatred, like the great
est virtue and the worst dogs, is silent.
Jean Paul Richter.
Force and not opinion is the queen
of the world, but it is opinion that
uses the force. Pascal.
Nothing is so firmly believed as what
we least know.
A man must either initiate the vic
ious or hate them. -Montaigne.
The childhood shows the man,
AS morning shows the day.
Milton.
Few sons attain the praise of their
great sires, and most their sires' de-
grace. Homer.
To err in opinion, though it be not
the part of wise men, is at least hui

Choose always the way that seems

Custom will render it easy and agree.
