OLD SCHOOL DAYS.


Any boy of to-day who labors under
the impression that his life IL n hard
one should make 1t his business to
lecrn something about the methods
l.ractlsed in the schools OF long ago.
AZ late as 1884 the pupils Of the
great schools of Elton and Winches-
ter were forced to rise at five in the
morning. to make their own beds and
to wash ut the pump In the courtyard.
They had nothing to eat until nine
o'clock. Their chief diet consisted OF
poor mutton. potatoes and beer.
an expected part Of the daily routine,
with the additional miseries ontallcd
by the tagging system. Sidney Smith
says that he suffered so many years
Of starvation and misery at Winches-
ter that he never could blot out the
memory. Harsher still was the treat
ment in the more ancient schools, aid
ed by the stern home discipline.
Peter, the son of the worshipful Sir
william Carew, was sent to lodge
with one Huite while he attended a
grammar-school at some distance from
his home. A servant brought the lad
and delivered him to his host us II

man. Daily he showered the boy with
cruel blows. No marvel that Peter
liked the safe retreat Of the woods
better than the schoolroom. In vain
Huite lectured. and in vain Freer
logged. The boy constantly played
trunnt and would not learn. Once
Huite, hunting for him, found him
estd blished by buttress Of the city
wall, reading.

exclaimed. But Peter bounded up and

True II is that the average farmer

to call "fusslng" with flower beds and

him to find little time to devote to
this subject OF pleasant home grounds.

light in flowers. Often her flower beds
are the only recreation which the
farmers wife has. Too often these are
hidden at the back Of the house. Com.

shrubs to be found on the farm. These
things rightly combined can go far to-
ward making the home attractive, not
only to Its inmates, but to everyone
that passes. The labor involved will be
comparatively insignificant when the
results obtained are considered. Home

to be sort Of natural Roman candle,

also shoots Off bodies Of two different
sizes. The light itself from this mys-
FERROUS substance Is not like ordinary
