Unseen Power which rules us all; these qualities, to-
gether with a healthy body, seem TO us schoolmasters to
be those at the production of which we should aim.
And since there is some difference in the nature of hu~
man beings, the methods which we employ in producing
them should be those suited to the nature of each boy.
We should not, for instance, sccld a willing boy, nor
compliment a coneeited boy, nor teach a poetical boy
nothing but stimulate the Imagination of one who loves
TO deal only with that which admits of accurate meas
urement. We wish to give to every boy that teaching
which will best bring out his good quaities-that which
will best make hin a real man.

l. The art of fencing of late years has made extraor-
q ordinary progress, not only amongst the Chords OF crea-
= r. ton" but amongst our own sex.
1t is not only a particularly healthful recreation,
but one tending largely to beautify the form and give
an elegant carriage and department, and, if taken in
moderation, to aid even those of weakly constitution;
whilst for such as lead sedentary lives it affords valuable
results. 1t has, moreover, the advantage of not requlr-

ing any companion in its study, as all the preliminary
practices and positions can be acquired alone, and pro-
fessional assistance may be dispensed with for some
months until such progress has been made that the later
stages of fencing are reached, when such assistance will
become necessary.
Now it goes without saying that as one must walk
before one can run, so it is necessary first of all to thor
oughly acquire the preliminary positions and move
ments, and the better this is done, in the first instance,

the more perfect and easier of attainment will be the performance later
on when actual foil practice is reached. There is nc short cut to perfec-
ton, which can only be attained by diigent study and practice, and when
it is mentioned that to correctly master the "lunge' six months may have
to be devoted, this might at first sight tend to deter aspirants from learn
ing to fence; but in reality it is not so, because the time devoted to cor
rect style and position plays such an important part in the subsequent
stages that the time so given is proftably spent, and returns a four-fold
interest to the conscientious student.
When all the movements and position with and without the foil have
been mastered with the right hand. the same should be practiced with the
left.
All fencing displays are preceded by what is known IS the "Grand
Salute" which is simply a exhibition of all the positions and movements
of attack and defense respectively by the opponents, but with the foil
point reversed and directed towards oneself, this being an act of courtesy
towards the adversary and showing that no "evil intent" is meant. The
spectators are, therefore, able to realize the beauty of the true positions
and movements of the art of fencing, after which the friendly opponents
proceed to a trial of skill between themselves in "loose play"

china's Tea Trade DecIininq,

Some interesting statistics nave been collected by Vice-Consul Arnold, at Foo-Chow, concerning the great decline in China's tea trade. From 1878, when tea was first introduced into England, until 1887 China held ex- clusively the tea trade of the world. Then India began to enter the tea market. The Chinese trade reached high tide in 1886, with a total export of 30,O0O,000 pounds. In 1884 China furnished about 72 per cent of the worlds total, India and Ceylon IS per cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. But in 1904, when the total con sumption had increased to 644,0OO,000 pounds, China contributed only 30 per cent, India and Ceylon 60 per cent, Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The decline in China is ascribed to care less methods of cultivation and pre- paration of the leaf.

How to Trim a Fern.

Boston ferns that have grown so large and luXuriant as to permit di- viding into smaller plants may have cuttings taken away from the roots without damage to the plant, if care fully done If transplanted to the right soil and kept under proper con dftions the cutting should root well and develop into healthy plant.
 A fern does not need hot and inces- sant sunshine. Two of the finest Bos- ton ferns known to the writer spend the entire winter in windows where scarcely a sunbeam falls, though there is plenty of light. A little sun, how ever, does them no harm, and a moist atmosphere is esential.
