ON TATTLING IN SCHOOL.

HERE is little or no proper feeling
in most public schools in regard to
the pupils tattling on one another,
nor is the problem an easy one in all
is bearings. 1t is emphatically one
in which the cooperation of the teach

much toward shaping the characters
Of their boys and girls in after life

Generally speaking, the rule is di-
vided into two parts. In all ordinary

Short Suggestions.

Tea stains of long standing should be
soaekd In glycerin and then washed In
cold water.
Cruel. when properly prepared,
should be but little thicker than cream.
and should be absolutely free from
Jumps.
When making Ice cream pack news
napers tightly around the top Of the
freezer to prevent the ice melting too
rapidly.
To remove the smell Of onions or fish
from the frying pan put little viegar
In it directly after using and put over
the fire a few minutes. Then wash
again in soapy water.
For washing bottles or vinegar cruets
save eggshells in paper bag; crush
them fine, put IN the cruets with warm,
soapv water and shake well. This will
clean and not scratch the finest glass.
Rubber bands are most useful for
keaning sleeves out Of the way when
doing homework. Pull your sleeves up
as far as you want them to go, and
put the bands round your arms over
the sleeves.

The wonderfully, artistic and strong
portrayal in "The Bells was witnessed
last night by a big audience. who were
held spellbound throughout the entirety
of the most tremendously strong crea-
tion Of the drama Of today. Mr.. Willard
carries the onus of the entire play on

actors can do, and has portrayal of this
part is in every respect most artisti-
cally strong conception. Those who have
not as yet seen @The Bells can i'll afford
to miss this opportunity to witness real
downright genius. Mr.. Willard's sup
port was most excellent last night and
the performance was in every respect
a huge success.
Thursday night that beautiful and
romantic drama, 'Monte Cristo' will be
produced. For an exceptionally strong
attraction "Monte Cristos can head the
list, for during the entire play not a
moment is without action and strength.
The stage manager Of the Star theatre is
sparing no efforts to make the produce
tion of "Monte Cristo" a feature not to
be forgotten for long time to come.
