The following ingenious mode OF
crossing river was once displayed by
kaffir, who had for some time stood
watching the vain attempts of party
of soldiers to cross the stream at a
time when to ford it was attended by
considerable danger. After smiling at
their efforts with that sardonic express
sion remarkable among thu Sc savages,
he quietly raised a heavy stone, placed
It on his head and then walked, with
perfect ease, through the torrent to the
opposite side.

Three points must be observed In
serving the raw fruit; first, it must be
ripe; second, free from any indications

not least, to enhance the enjoyment Of

be served ice cold. A suggestion Of
green adds greatly to the enjoyment
of the fruit.

A good Joke is going the rounds that
during the progress Of a sanctified

earth to the better land. So, lowering
himself upon his hands and knees, he
cried out: ANY one who wants to 60

or three men rode off like bucking
broncho, when upon his return he
called for another passenger, and a
young man equipped with two heavy
spurs mounted the conveyance proyid-
ed and began to drive the roweis into
each side. which caused the impoyer-.
ished mule to quicken his pace, and

etvely employed in all the diamond

minutes by skillfiilly pressing one dia-

Where flaw occurs a split soon takes
place, and the diamond divides into

again repeated, until several pure flaw

table, and the first process is success

There II only q certain amount Of
vital force in each child's body; II you,
by giving too much brain and nerve
straining work. oblige all that vital
force to concentrate itself on the
brain, where is the force which 10 to
form the healthy body to come from?
says Ethelinda Hadwen, in Chambers
Journal. You will not produce q noble,
large-minded woman IL you give the
girl-child a puny, half developed body
because you are DESTROYS OF putting
too much music, German and French
into her brain in too short a
time. OF what use is book learn
ing TO q girl who has 10 health?
Moreover, too much nerve-straining
brainwork means not merely impaired
health, but also impaired personal APP
p%earance. A good complexion. good
teeth, fine hair, clear. bright eyes, an
erect, active figure, are not found in
the girl whose brain has been sys-
tematically overworked. Six hours Of
brainwork Is the most that should be
expected Of any schoolgirl In n day;
but girls of is and 10 are so overloaded
with lessons that they work, not six
hours, but nine and ten hours a day.
Now, an eight hour day Of brainwork
Is considered quite sufficient for .
strong man; how 10 II reasonable to
expect that a girl who has not only
to expend brain power. but also grow
ing power, and whose nervous system
is in such = condition that the labor
is far harder in proportion for her,
shall work for two hours longer per
day than the strong man? The thing
is absurd, and the general result is
that the girls too often. like senior
wranglers, have exhausted their
brains and lost all power Of original
thought before they leave the academ-
ic world and enter the world Of action.
"Girls should not go to school until
they are seven years OF age, and then
should not have more than three hours
Of lesson work daily. At the age Of
nine they may study four hours, and
at IL the hours may he increased to
Ave. At IA years a girl should be taken
from school for a year. That year will
be most usefully spent in building up
a reserve stock of strength and in
learning housewifely tasks. At the
age Of IS or 10 n girl is apt to become
impatient over the routine of house
hold tasks, whereas the girl Of IA or
IS is deeply interested and quite ready
to learn. After a years interval she
will go back to school with zest, and
her mind, having had a rest, is so in
vigorated that she more than makes
up In quickness Of comprehension and
power for the time which has been
