gather two marks in the starting stanza

will be sufficient To bring victory. In

tests-eighty in the American and sew

Regard Return As Calamity.

AS superintendent. while I would re-
gard his return to the service as a ca
lamity, would prefer to give F. L. Car
dozo the opportunity of retrieving his
reputation by returning 10 his school
duties rather than 10 reopen the case
by going into a trial. with so little power
and so few resources TO consider the
matter thoroughly and finally. Under
an amended law. a future dereliction in
the duty of loyalty could be punished
promptly and finally.
p Whether. however. TO appeal the case
or not seems to me a matter wholly
for the legal counsel 10 advise, The
fact that the first hearing has been un-
successful is scarcely proof that the
full court would sustain the trial Judge
upon all points
To this time we have proceeded almost
wholly upon the lines required by our
legal advisers and the Comptroller OF
the Treasury.
Accepting, of course, the present de-
cision, IL would seem best to follow the
advice of our counsel how best TO carry
ii out in the interest of the two school
systems. Verv respectfully submitted,

In Holland births, marriages and deaths instead of being recorded in newspapers. are indicated by windlnills
 When a miller gets married he stops his mill with the arms of the wheel in slanting position and with the sails unfurled. His friends and guests ire
 quently do likewise with their mills, in token of the ceremony. To indicate a birth the wheel is stopped with the arms in a slanting position, but at a more acute angle than for a marriage and with the two upper sails unfurled
 Should miller die the sails of his mill are all furled, and the wheel is turned round until the arms form an upright cross, in which position they are left until after the funeral has taken place.

q Plan That Will Work We'll Vv11A
 Servants and Children.
 Probably there is no otheh converse tional art upon which so many things depend as the faculty of putting a thing positively instead of putting it negatively. The way 1t will work for your own good and the good of every body else is little short of marvellous.
 The servant Is taking course that has got to be stopped. Instead of tell ing her so in terms of negation tell her If some other course which you have seen her take with which you are nightly pleased or of some way that you have thought of for her to do in- stead. You will find that you will not give half so many orders, because the better plan is not so easy to evolve, but it will give better results. She will listen to you with attention, where if you find fault she would give sniff of indifference. And in thinking the mat ter over to see what is really the best way the developing power of oneself is simply amazing.
 It is the same with the children. Or ders to stop this and that are received with indifference, while suggestion as to a better way of doing things Is bailed as an idea worthy of attention. One whose advice often was asked and taken made 1t a rule never to give ad vice negatively. "Fhere always is a reflection in telling people not to do things" she said. The plan applied to ones small talk may be carried to the point where it becomes an Inspiration. About to criticise some one, ever so in directly and without mentioning any names. turn 1t and fit the opposite con ditions to some individual even if Ee has to be imagined, and you find your self telling fairy tales.
