THE TRAINING or a CHILD.
Several important Points That Must

To teach a child with success re.
quires only common sense, good judg,
ment and gentleness. There are, how.

Of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
Of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
infexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be.

in an interesting and ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dan.

teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fire.

Ten or fifteen minutes for each study

Muscular Christianity.

Prof. Bryce, in his biographical
study Of Bishop. Fraser, of Manches-
ter, tells of a clergyman of Fraser's
diocese who had knocked man down
who had insulted him. The bishop
wrote him a letter Of reproof, point
ing out that exposed as the Church Of
England was to much criticism on all
hands, her ministers ought to be very
careful of their demeanor. The Of
fender replied by saying: Il must re-
gretfully admit that, being grossly
insulted, and forgetting in the heat Of
the moment the critical position Of
the Church Of England, I did knock
the man down, etc" Fraser was de-
lighted with the turning Of the tables
on himself, and afterward invited the
clergyman to visit him.

deliberately came down, Tapping its
wings, on the astonished swans back.

Wrona Foot Out of Bed.

About half the world puts the wrong
foot out of bed in the morning. But
which is the wrong foot? 1t is a
superstition as old as the hills that
if the left foot touches the floor first
you will have bad luck that day.
Probably many men avoid this by
sleeping on the right side of the bed,
so that in rising the right foot natur-
ally comes first in contact with the
floor. 1t is said to be a fact that most
people lie on their right side because
of the prevalent notion that the heart
has freer action.-New York Press.
