Crabs and LObsters.

There are many curious points about
crabs and Holsters. Every one of
either genus is provided with a big
claw for crushing and a small claw
adapted by its shape for cutting as
scissors do. With these two claws
they tear the food they capture into
fragments and feed themselves liter
ally from "hand to mouth" But there
is every reason to suppose that the
claws are intended quite as much for
fighting as for eating purposes, mas
much as such powerful hands are not
needed for devouring the soft food they
prefer.

Public School Notes.

This week closes the first month of
our school, with total enrolment
of 56 pupils, and n daily attendance
almost equal to our enrolment; yet
sorry to say some unnecessary ab-
sentees have been recorded.
The department Of most of our
pupils has been exemplary, and their
earnestness of application has been
worthy of imitation.
This week closes with our usual
monthly examinations to which pup
lis always look forward with more or
less timidity, dread or appreciation.
Monday following, will be our day
for issuing reports to parents, which
will be Il source of pride to many,
while to some, there may be a cause
for inquiry. Parentsl do not treat
these reports with the Indifference so
often shown them. They are issued
for purpose, and if they fail to
awaken pride, when complimentary,
or Investigation when not a source
for pride, it is time and labor lost
More than this. Your child recog-
nizes in your indifference, your ap-
proyal OF his habits of study, OF at
tendance and demcanor, and will
make no voluntary effort to i'm
prove on them. Fatherl Mother!
Examine these reports carefully and
if they do not speak favorablyi You
should Investigate the cause. The
teachers are always ready to give in
formation relative 20 the pupils hab-
its Of study, attendance and deport-
ment, and will gladly cooperate with
the parents in bringing about the
best results for the child.
Sec that your child is in school
every day and every hour OF the day.
To YOU an hour, half day or day,
may seem a triile in the matter of &C.
curing testtlts, but this is mistake.
Visit our schools; investigate our
work, and by 30 doing, aid us very
materially in our work, which IL OF
such vital interest to your child.
