sAvE THE sCHOOLBOYs.

There is no preparatory school of in- poftance that escapes periodical visits from Harvard and Yale and Princeton and Pennsylvania captains and coaches and enthusiastic alumni, seeking to bolster their base ball or football or track teams. It is only necessary for a boy at Andover or at Lawrenceville or elsewhere to show up particularly we'll at shortstop. or to make a track record, or a brilliant touchdown, for him to be visited forthwith by the re- cruiting sergeants of all the colleges within hailing distance.
 What this recruiting is doing to un- dermine the healthfulness of American sport need not, I am sure, point out to intelligent observers. The bid for prominent schoolboy athletes grows stronger and stronger, and more open and more commercial. It has come to pass. indeed, that on occasion boy, if thoroughbred blood happens not to run in his veins. or if his needs be urgent, does not wait recruiting. but offers his services at auction. Thus for exam pie. one football player have in mind turns from the university of his first choice. scholarship and earning his board by waiting on table were of- fered, and enters another which also gives him a scholarship, and improves upon the waiting on table offer as means of board earning. by organizing an eating club and placing it's manage ment in his hands.
 There are boys who work their way through school. and young men who work their way through college and who are also athletes: and the more credit to them. There is no individual for whom have greater respect than the boy who cares enough for an ed11- cation to be willing to honestly work his way through school or college in order to get it. Such one does no harm to college sport: his example is elevating. But the pity of it. that this type should be used to give excuse for putting recruiting on its present basis. -Caspar Whitney in November Out ing

HOW savarln Fried Fiah.

In Savarin's "Physiologie du Gout,
which was, according to Balzac, a yer,
liable decalogue irrefragabIe as the
laws of Kepler, is thus set down the
way to fry fish: "The beauty of a good
fry is in carbonizlng or browning the
surface by sudden immersion-the proc
ess known as the surprise. 1t forms a
sort of vault to inclose all that is valu.
able, prevents tle fat from reaching il
and concentrates the juices so as to
best develop the alimentary qualities.
Don't forget when you have any of
those trout weighing scarcely more
than quarter of a pound and fetched
from streams that murmur far from
the capital-don't forget, l say, to fry
them in the very finest olive oil you
have. This simple dish, properly
served with slices of lemon, is worthy
of a cardinal. In exactly the same
way you should treat smelts, of which
adopts think so much"
Have you, my dear housewife-have
you ever tried to fry your fish this
way? Have you ever cooked small fish
in deep boiling oil or lard in the way
you would doughnut or a cruller?
Did you ever fry your meat croquettes
this way, or are they generally soft
and greasy out Of shallow PAM

Noses ana Hats.

The prescription of Nine. Hunt, mil
liner, for crooked, pug and aquiline
noses is not of the "kill or cure" type.
1t is accompanied by none Of the dan
gers confronting the surgeons knife or
the electric needle, and yet Nine. Hunt
declares it is a most effective remedy.
Here it is:
Women with fat or pug noses and
a medium round face should wear Il
large, round hat, short in the back and
uniform in proportion in the front and
side. 1t should be tilted well forward
so as to cast shadow over the short
comings Of the pug nose. Women with
pronounced Roman noses are hard to
fit in headgear. They should never
wear hat back from the face, but neil
ther should it project too far over the
face, as this will make the nose too
prominent. Women with Grecian or
slightly upturned noses may wear
'jaunty effects" This may be done by
those who have even passed the ages
Of girlhood. They may properly and
becomingly wear any extreme style,
The hats may be worn well over the
face, and the band should be well
raised from side and side front."-Chi-

Drawing,
BY JAMES A. DUKE.
S. L.. s..

Drawing as an instrument OF
means of education, should be
Taught for the sake of the assist
ance it gives in acquiring or set
ting forth knowledge, not as an
end in itself; yet it is such SER
viceable auxiliary that its neglect
is distinct educational loss.
The great value of drawing to
the common run of pupils lies in
the fact that it gives them an ex-
ceedingly useful means of embody-
ing ideas or of recording facts Of
certain kinds, which words
would in many cases very made
quatelY express, even with much
greater amount of trouble.
The practical usefulness of draw
ing, however, is by no means the
only advantage to he derived from
the study; indirectly it has very
important bearing on the general
education of the child.
Drawing thing brings out
many points which would other
wise be overlooked; and, 10 addi-
ton to the knowledge gained, the
exercise gradually accustoms the
child to carefully observe what is
brought before him, to note the
relative importance, of the various
parts, to compare one thing with
another, to estimate distances and
proportions, and to recognize how
known elements may be combined
into new forms. All this is val
liable, and assists in the training
of the perceptive faculties, atten-
tion, judgment, Imagination and
memory.
The ability to discriminate is an
element ofthe highest skill. Skill
ful physical or mental work re-
quires quick recognition of slight
differences and discrepancies.
In drawing the child has to see
and to produce. Eye and hand
are equally concerned and both
need to be especially trained be-
fore the required skill can be at
tanned.
An illustration is some thing al
ready known, or easily appre-
hended through the senses, which
is made use of to assist the mind
in its effort TO comprehend some
thing which is unknown.
Thus, in illustrating an idea, we
for moment substitute in its
place either some concrete embodi-
ment of it, or some closely related |
idea which the pupil has already |
acquired. He has to realize the
by means of the familiar
in such case, the illustration
takes the form of some object,
picture, experience, etc.
Mere telling is beside the mark;
what the child wants is direct con
tact with the truths he has to
earn; hence the great value of
black board sketches. These are
such ready and often effectual
means Of Illustrating a lesson, and
may be used in so many instances
where any other mode of illustra-
lion is not feasible. The black
board should be present in every
esson, and the teacher should con
,tantly practice its use until he
san put down upon il rapidly any
hing be needs.
