Vus III. of Sweden.
King Gustayus Ill. OF Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid q
visit to Germany and as soon as tho
Duchess of Mecklenburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts OF the small rulers,
sent two of his attendants-a page
named Peyron. and Desvouges, a valet
who had formerly been an actor-to be
entertained by the duchess. The two
personated the king and his minister.

acters throughout. They accepted as
their due all the homage meant for

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several important Points That Must
Be Remembered.

To teach child with success re-
quires only common sense. good judg
ment and gentleness. There are, how.
ever. three other important points that
must ever be foremost In the mind
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
innexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be
fore giving 1t. in order to present Il
In an interesting and Ineligible way
Third there is the ever present dan
ger Of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons frc
quently varied give the best results
Ten or fifteen minutes for each studJ
is enough, and this time limit mus
not be overstepped so long as to
morrow represents another day.--Th,

groom was Master Thomas Casey. 6
years of age The ceremony took place
beneath a daisy bell in the auditorium
of the church, which was prettily deco

tended by Hazel c, Towne, years old,
maid OF honor. and a groomsman, six
bridesmaids, six ushers, two flower
girls, and two pages. all attlred in full
court costume, completed the bridal
party, which passed beneath three floral
arches to the altar, where the bride was
given away by her father" Master

The ceremony was performed by the
rector, the REV" Harry Dale, 1 years
old, attlred in clerical vestments.
After the ceremony the bride and
