THE TEACHER TAUGHT.
Why Sir Ee~in Arneid Ceased to US

The statement was true. Scuba

Dor, quite illegitimately, the eNpia-
nation of an obscure passage ana,
not being attended to, had taken TINS
much too emphatic means OF enl"rc-
ing attention. Having called the
class up. Arnold said To the doubly
wrongcd boy, who was still rubbing
the place: iii is | who am most 10
blame for having dealt YOU an unde-
served blow. Take that cane and
give it back to me as hard as YOU
got it," NO, SIR" the lad answer
ed. Il can't do that. The whole
great schoolroom was now listening,
masters and all. Arnold insisted.
Jones, YOU must obey me, and II
YOU disobey | am sorry Ia say shall
make YOU write out that page oi

H."
Whether it was desperation at
this dreadful alternative or the
sparkling eyes of his class fellows,
evidently longing TO have the good
! luck themselves of clicking mas
ter, that suddenly inspired Jones, |
know not. What do know Is that
he reached forth his hand, took the

but the severpst and most telling cut
over my shoulders. | had no idea
that the ridiculous instrument could

cowardly and clumsy eXpedient and

Snaniarls. 1t l. now cultivated IN
some Of the West Indian Islands
and I'm a few al our western staies'

raised in sufficient quantities To
form an article of commerce. Inc
insect Is raised on the cochlneai

is a specie. of cactus.
The cochincal is first collected
about the middle of December. The
insects are removed from the tree
with Il knife. the edge of which has
been bluutcd. or are carefully brush
cd of with squirrel tail. This labor
is performed by the women. The
insects alc usually killed by the ap-
plication of heat, by baking in ovens
or bv the heat Of the sun.
When tire cochineal arrives in the
market it Is in the form of small

cred in Brougham's library. 1t was

ries on the usual terms. The pub
