Educating Children.

Forcing the youthful mind is
practice no longer obtaining in schools
of the best standing but not yet OBJ
solete in many of the common
schools. In schools which represent
the dominant ideas of education to-
day, stimulation, interest, suggestion
prevail, and driving is avoided If
there has been some leaning toward
the prosaic, there is now fresh in
terest in stimulating the emotions,
and a full realization of the need of
many things conventionally not class
ed among the useful, says Golfers
Weekly. The greatest problem of ed
ucation unsolved to-day relates to
girls. Heretofore their education has
been a mere copy Of that long ago
established for boys. Some day a
genius will come along and conceive
thoughts that shall form the basis of
an education which shall help girls to
all their best possibilities, without
dissipating their strength on lines of
effort established for natures in some
respects entirely different.

Made a Speedy Recovery.

On one of the visits of the Amer
lean feet to English waters, Admiral
Erben, now retired, was in command,
with Capt Alfred T. Mahan, the
writer on naval affairs, as his flag
captain.
One morning Capt. Mahan came to
his admiral with an invitation to dine
with a duke.
Il cant accept this" said Capt.
Mahan, "as they forgot to invite you"
81 should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral. "I'll answer for you"
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
Admiral Erben, U. S. navy regrets
that Capt. Mahan, his flag captain,
cannot accept the invitation of the
Duke of Blank, Capt Mahan is on
the sick list"
An hour or so later a messenger
from the duke returned with invita-
tons for the admiral and the captain.
Whereupon the admiral wrote again
Admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Capt. Mahan and
himself. He wishes also to advise
the Duke of Blank that he has taken
Capt Mahan off the sick list. New
York Tribune.

BLACK AND RED HAIR ARE AKIN.
Idea to the Contrary, Long Held, Is
Wronq.

The color OF The hair. says the
Grand Magazine, Is usually transmit
ted from parents TO child. This is
especially true when both parents
have the same complexion. Instances,
however. are not uncommon where
children have hair black as ebony.
while the hair OF both parents is
burning red. Instead of disproving
the theory that child takes after
its parents so far as the color OF the
hair is concerned this fact. It has now
been ascertained, Is all in favor Of
the doctrine. Red hair, in fact is by
its structure and composition much
nearer TO black hair than to blond.
Very often, If the hair OF very
dark complexioned person be exam
ined attentively. few quite red hairs
will be detected In the mass. On the
other hand, 1t would be time wasted
to seek for black hair In the locks OF
a fair person. Similarly II is not in
frequent to notice children whose
hair, red at birth. becomes as they
grow older quite dark When, too
after some serious Illness, the produc
ton of the coloring pigment of the
hair falls Off black hair becomes moi
blond. but red. Fair hair which to 9
casual eye appears to have much
more affinity to red hair than t
black. is, on the contrary. quite dis
tinct.

All the friends OF liberty Of speech
owe gratitude to Prof Lounsbury of
Yale for his defense in Harper's

subject of a plural verb. What idiot

movement to schoolmaster that use
of none" out of existence we do not
know, but his effort has had a deplor-
able degree Of success. An awful ex.

the grammarians who try to make

formed people present. who could tell
the significance of the letters till the
question was looked up. It appeared
that the pound sterling mark was
simply a capital l.. with a line drawn
across the stem. It came from the
Latin word "librae." meaning a pound.
The I'd" used for the penny came also
from the Latin. meaning "denarius,
originally small Roman silver coin,
but later having developed into a
generic term for money and specif-
cally for a small copper coin of in
significant value.
The "lb" mark, also used for the
avoirdupois pound. came from the
same word 'librae as in Saxon
times the pound avoirdupois was the
same weight as a pound sterling of
silver and the shilling was one-twen-
tieth of this, making the old shilling
about three times the size of the
present one.

being half a dozen explanations for
this sign. But the most likely seemed

Every woman who

health at this time in
