THOMPSON, n T.
Creating a pc sire to Learn.

One of the CHIEF points a teacNer hats
to consider is how 10 make the pupi
enjoy work No one. not wen the teach
er. likes disagrecahlo tasks, and. i a
child tries to escape who can blame
him? Teaching is comparatively easy
if the pupil wants to learn and is will
ING to work Otherwise the teacher
must make the conditions favorable for
the awakening of such impulses in the
pupils mind.
There is a desire to work born of the
fear of punishment, but that is not the
right kind. The only useful desire must
come enforced. Especially is this true
with children. What the child wants
the child will have if he can get it. The
important part is the want" First, to
want something, and then to want the
right thing. is the order a teacher must
follow in creating interest in any study
"The will is, to very large degree,
the result of the operation upon us of
the various external influences with
which we are surrounded" The first
thing to do on receiving a new pupil is
to consider these questions:
First-Does the pupil want anythings
Second-Does he want the best?
Third-Are his home conditions favor
able?
Fourth-In what way does he obtain
the greatest pleasure?
Then comes the working out of the
answer to these, to improve the infu-
ences that are hindering development,
and, if necessary, to see that the pupil
forms new interests, new enjoyments,
or even new companions.
No two pupils should be treated alike.
Once in a long while, one finds book
cases. as the doctors say, where the
symptoms agree with those given in the
medical books, but more often there are
outside symptoms hard to explain, and
complications arise that battle the ply
sican's skill. In the treatment of such
cases is real worth shown. 1t is like
this in teaching. Theories and methods,
in music, as we'll as in medicine, are very
good, but they must be applied skilfully,
else much harm may be done.
knowledge is not absorbable without
effort. for no person is like a sponge.
The endurance of a child's brain recep-
tivity is limited Only as one thought is
given at time and that put into prac
teal use at once is teaching successful
! Otherwise the lesson will 90 in one ear
and out the other, as the old saving is
BE sure that the puplI understands
the reason why" and then insist on his
thinking of it during practice. To make
an effort without an end IN view is. to
say the least, uninteresting. Often much
work i done with pupils when there is
no definite goal in view. even in the
mind OF the teacher This is unpardon-
able.
| The child should be encouraged to eX-
press hi, opinion concerning any work
that comes in the les son He should
! help plan new methods of practice. for
it is of the greatest Importance to have
a pupil learn to reason. Once this
thinking power is aroused. the hardest
part i accomplished for the teacher

A Vi.cit to the
M etropoll1
[Original.1

In New York on Fifth avenue, not
far from the Waidorf-Astoria hotel, in
the buildings which forty years ago
were occupied for dwellings, are a
number Of shops of different kinds.
One morning Howard Dyson, who had
recently struck gold In Colorado and
was visiting New York to see the
sights, emerged from the hotel, walked
few steps on Thirty third street,
crossed Fifth avenue and proceeded
leisurely southwark. Suddenly he
stopped and faced shop window.
The main feature for display was a
wax figure of woman In costly attire
of the very latest pattern. Never were
face and shoulders more true to life.
The image was not only beautiful, but
there was an aristocratic mien about
1t which could only have been mod
eled from woman Of noble lineage
Dyson stood spellbound.
st beats ALL" he muttered to him
self, what marvellous things are to be
seen in this wonderful city. Who
would ever suppose that lovely crea-
ture could be made of wax, stuffed
with straw? 1 don't believe it's wax
at all. The bosom rises and falls Just
like that of human being"
Dyson watched the figure as long as
he could without attracting attention,
then walked down to the Fifth Avenue
hotel and back, stopping and standing
again before the wonderful figure;
then, calling an automobile cab, he
rode through Central park, returned to
his hotel, lunched and, lighting cigar,
strolled out to take another view of the
wax figure. This time 1t did not seem
so lifelike. The flesh was waXy, and
the hair grew out of waXy scalp.
He wondered how he could have seen
anything in it to make him think that
1t might be Il living being. He deter
mined to enter the store, look over the
goods and ask some questions He
found an old man who spoke with a
strong French accent. After being
shown a number of articles for which
he had no use whatever he began to
talk to the old man about the figure in
the window.
"How doyou make the thing breathe ?"
he asked.
"Ah, m'sieu. when l was young / Wis
tied Nine. Tussaud's waXwork show
in Paris, where I saw the reclining fig
ure of woman made to appear to
breathe. Il was. not content till / had

Strength of Animal Scent.

The bird dog man is likely to think
his favorite has better nose than any
animal on earth. He can tell you any
amount of stories about birds being
scented at very long distances. Now it
Is covey Of chickens winded at 300
yards, or, again, bevy of quail drawn
straight to at seventy-five. There are
other animals, however, which have
wonderfully keen noses. For instance,
the sea otter hunters do not dare build
fire for days at time on the little is
lands of the Pacific ocean frequented
by those animals because the otter can
smell the fumes from the smallest
blaze distance Of five miles out at
sea. 1t is said Of this animal that he
can trail a fish under the sea. Moose
have been known to wind man at two
miles and make up their minds so posi-
lively about him as to never quit run
ming under twenty-five.

A White Ant nia4

A book on the Kongo Free State
gives this picture of the fondness Of
the natives for white ants: 'In the
white ant month the natives have a
very busy time. The river is deserted,
and men and women, boys and girls,
go out to gather the white ant for food.
l cannot say 1 admire their taste, but
the white ant is not bad as food, mere
ly very rich In this month he is about
an inch long. The natives gather him
in hundreds, pull off the wings and
roast him. The native boys have a
shorter way with him. Sometimes at
mess white ants Topped on to the ia
bic, attracted by the light. The boys
who We're waiting pounced on them
and without further ceremony popped
them into their mouths"

Few GOOD dinner, walters.

A New York fashionable restaurant
man who was asked why he specified
good dinner waiter in his adver-
tisement said: Because all good wait
ers are not necessarily good dinner
walters; quite the contrary. The tend
ency with most walters, unless they
know their customer, is to hurry a
meal along. They want to make room
at the tables for newcomers. Most
men who take all their meals at res
taurants will not object to this at
breakfast; in fact, it is rather crafty
ing than otherwise to find a waiter
willing to hurry The same thing is
true, more or less, with luncheon
where the restaurant is exclusively
for gentlemen. But very few men like
to be hurried over their dinner Any
waiter who knows his business will
coax his customers gently over this
meal, course by course. always ready,
but never around when he is not want
ed. Such man will get liberal tip
and send customers away with the
opinion that he works in the best res
taurant in town. But such walters are
few and far between.-New York

made machinery for a like purpose.
That machinery is now in the figure"
when 1 first looked at it, there was
more appearance of life about it than
there is now"
"Oui? When you first saw it, the sun
was in the east, the figure in shadow.
Now the sun is on it,"
That evening Dyson spoke to one of
the clerks in his hotel and asked him
about the old Frenchman.
''The Count de Guronne? He Is a
ruined French spendthrift who came
over here recently and to make liv-
ing opened a shop"
| Dyson spent Il month in New York,
every day passing the wax figure half
dozen times at least and always
stopping to look at it, Whether it was
| the arrangement of the hair or the ex-
preston on the face or the attitude, or
all of these, the thing seemed to have
been modelled after some one who had
lived long ago. Dyson finally noticed
that between II and - o'clock in the
morning and between 8 and 4 in the
afternoon it looked like life, while at
all other times it was waxy. One day
he came to q sudden determination
Walking resolutely into the store, he
faced the count.
''Mr. Count" he said, "you can't fool
me any longer. The image is only in
the window two hours each day and is
no image at all. It's woman, and
the woman l want. I am bachelor
and rich. This woman is some relative
of yours who has followed you in your
misfortune. l desire to propose for
her hand"
A cunning smile broke over the
Frenchmans face.
you are right, m'sieur."
The count admitted that the woman
was his relative. He promised to
speak to her about Dyson's PROPOSE.
ton, inviting him to call the next day.
shortly before 3 o'clock. when the flesh
and blood would be relieved from duty
by the wax image.
"Msieur," said the count when Dy-
son called the next day, IF you like
we will proceed to make the settle.
ments." And he produced contract
making over 100000 in case of mar
rage and Il forfeit of $4,000 in case
Dyson should change his mind The
lover did not like the $4,000 clause,
but his mind was made up that the
possession of this beautiful flower of
French nobility must be IFS. and he
signed. y few minutes after the eX-
ecution of the paper the count went
to the window and under pretense of
rearranging it held up a curtain be-
hind which the transfer was effected,
and the woman stepped into the shop.
"Ah, msieur," she said, bending her
eyes to the floor, Il have heard how
you have honored me-" then passed to
a room at the back of the shop.
Half an hour later the door through
which she had emerged was opened,
and an old woman shriveled to the
bone entered the shop.
Permit me, m'sieur," said the count,
ito present my sister. She has been
every day made up to look like wax
figure from portrait Of herself painted
forty years ago"
Dyson stared at the frightful appa-
rition for few moments then turned
and left the shop. The next morning
he drew on Denver for $4,000 and
paid the forfeit He followed his draft
