What Boys Learned 500 Years Ago.

Schoolboys in old England took to
Latin and Greek at an early age. At
st. Saviour's Grammar school, South
wark, in 1911 a pupil Of seven years
and three months was admitted as an
ordinary occurrence, who signed his
form Of admission, stating himself to
be reading and learning in the Acct
dence and entering into Propria quae
Maribus, ETC., and also FULLY his sec
ond epistle, among those gathered by
Sternius, and Corderius' dialogues.
ETC." The hours of study We're long
too. An old record says that from
March till September 'the child is to
come at 6 in the morning and be at
school till II. Again at l and tarry
till 6. The rest Of the year he is to be-
gin in the morning at Z and leave at 5
in the afternoon. The master will not
give leave to play but nee a week."
The master was to be skilled in the
Latin and able to teach grammar, or
atoly, poetry and Greek, as also the
principles of Hebrew. He is to be Of q
wise. sociable and loving disposition,
not hasty or furious, nor Of i'll example.
He shall discern the nature Of every
child, if such may be discerned."

Marsh Cup Water Plant.

The plant that 1 found in the Hud-
SOL bay region which is most worthy
of notice grows in the messy mus
kegs, in places where there is little
or no grass. It is remarkable for two
reasons-the beauty of it's flower and
its water containing properties. The
leaves, which grow fiat upon the
ground, are broad and green. The bell
Of the flower seems adapted as a nat
ural reservoir for water, of which,
from a large one, there can easily be
obtained as much as an Egyptian cof-
fee cup will hold. But the beauty of
it was that in the early autumn, when
the nights were frosty, but the heat
still excessive by day, the water it
contained was always iced. for these
charming flower bells are evidently
constructed to resist frost, and as they
close in toward the top they protect
from the rays of the sun the lump Of
clear ice formed within the calyX at
night. The result Of this was that
often when toiling along at midday,
hot and weary, through a stagnant
swamp all l had to do to slake my
thirst was to pluck a few Of these
miraculous flowers to obtain 20 many
small cups full of delicious water.

Field podder.

Dodder, or love vine, is a great enc
my Of alfalfa. It is a parasitic vine
growing on the stems and taking out
the life and vitality of even the roots.
The vine intwines itself about the al
falfa stems in great clusters and grows
thrifty or small in exact proportion
to the growth of alfalfa. When the
alfalfa is cut, this vine appears in dry,
hairy punches about the stems. 1t Is
SO repugnant to horses and cattle that
it will not be eaten except as a last re-
sort before starvation. The best way
to keep free from dodder is to buy
only clean seed. In some cases farm
ers use tanning mills and try to re-
clean the seed before sowing. II the
plant gets started in a field, the best
plan to get rid of 1t is to scatter straw
over the alfalfa stubble and burn the
entire field. This does moi. injure the
alfalfa, but kills the dodder and
other noxious weeds.-Hmball's Dairy
Farmer.

Snow, Tip, something must be done,
but how I'm going to do it is more
than I know"
Jim Granville stretched his great
length on the grass beneath an old oak
tree and addressed his fox terrier, who
surveyed his master with evident inter-
est and understanding. There was a
frown on the broad forehead Of the
young man and a troubled look in his
big brown eyes. Tip sat ON his
launches, wagging his diminutive
stump of a tail vigorously, one eye
fixed intently on his masters face,
while with the other he watched the
movements of, a squirrel on an over
hanging branch.
I'm in love, Tip" continued Gran
willie, Ticking the ashes from his cigar
with an impatient gesture. "You know
what that means, old fellow, since
you've been paying your addresses to
that little spaniel Of Miss Browning's.
Yet you can't understand why 1 don't
tell the girl so and settle the whole
matter, do you? Tip, canine affairs are
different from human affairs. Men
have responsibilities, and dogs don't.
That's the whole difference in a nut
SHE'LL"
Tip gave a short bark, as if he fully
comprehended the distinction, and
Granville went on: II have a pretty
good income, Tip, but it is not big
enough to support two establishments.
If 1 get married, my mother would have
to live with us, and you know from
your own experiences that she is a wo-
man of decided cOnvictions."
Tip shuddered at the remembrance
Of a whipping he had received for the
slight offense of chewing up one Of
Mrs. Granville's gloves in a moment
of observation-disclosures and then hung
his head.
"Well. Miss Browning also has de-
cided views on certain questions of
life, and she and my mother disagree
upon almost every subject. The nat

the only friend in whom l can confide,
and l look to you to straighten this
tangle out for me.
If the fly that lowered about Tips
head had been Wentworth, Granville's
anxiety would have been at an end.
After making sure that his winged tor
mentor would worry him no more Zip
glanced around and espied the squirrel
several rods away, engaged in making
his morning meal from some crumbs
that had been left in the woods. For
| getting his masters troubles, Tip dash
ed off in pursuit, leaving Granville to
solve the question that so greatly per-
picked him. The young man, left to
his own devices, lighted a fresh cigar
and began a mental calculation as to
the length of time that must elapse be-
fore he could hope for sufficient in
come wherewith to maintain his moth
er and wife in separate homes, pro-
vided, Of course, that Wentworth did
not succeed in carrying off Miss
Browning before his eyes.
The calculation was interrupted by a
series of ear splitting yelps, and Gran
VILE, fearing his pet had come to grief,
arose and hurried down the path along
which Tip had disappeared. AS he
reached a clearing a hundred yards or
so away he stopped short, his eyes
resting upon a curious scene.
In the center of the clearing stood
Wentworth and Mrs. Granville. The
former had n arm around the latter's
waist, while. with his walking stick in
his disengaged hand, he was vigorous
enraged Tip.
"I'm so glad you've come, Jim,' cried
Mrs. Granville as her son drew near.
"You are just in time"
ut looks as if I'm around at the
wrong time" grimly returned the
young man as he proceeded to calm
the excited Tip. 81 don't quite under
stand what it all means. / didn't know
you knew MI. Wentworth"
Not know Tom Wentworth" ex-
claimed Mrs. Granville in surprise.
"Why, I've known him ever since 1
was a child. He's Catherine Brown
ing's uncle, you know, and while he
vas looking up his niece he found me
out, and we've renewed u old friend
ship. Tom tells me''-a pretty flush
had crept into Mrs. Granville's cheeks,
and her forty-five years of life seemed
to dwindle perceptibly-"that he has
cared for NE ever since he has known
me, and he has persuaded me to go
back to California With him if you
have no objections, Jim. What do you
say?"
Il won't stand in the way of Your
happiness, mother" declared Granville
with an emphasis that Mrs. Granville
did not understand until Wentworth
enlightened her.
II knew Jim would be all right" OBJ
served the big Californian jovially.
Giles been making some plans for
himself, and l think we'd better make
a double wedding Of it,"
you're a clever ally, Tip, even if
you're only a dog" remarked Gran
vile as he walked toward Miss Brown
ing's home. 'That wild bolt of yours
brought about a solution Of the whole
matter"

ural result of bringing such opposite
natures together and compelling them
to live beneath the same roof would be
trouble, Tip, serious trouble too. l
would have to side with my wife
against my mother or I would have to
side with my mother against my wife.
In either case my position would be
decidedly unpleasant. I don't expect
you to fully understand this, old fell
low. You were separated from your
mother when you were too young to
comprehend the meaning of flial af-
lection. But human beings n quite
different and have a certain duty to
perform in looking after their maternal
relations. Now, these are the facts in
the case, Tip, and something must be
done, but l don't know what it is
to be-"
The squirrel had disappeared from
view, and Tip fixed his undivided at
tention upon his master, evidently med
itating deeply over the perplexing prob
lem. The stumpy tail ceased it's pen
dulum-like motions. and his sharp ears
were pricked up in an attitude of ear
nest attention.
"This crisis has come upon us sud-
denly, my boy,' pursued Granville aft
er a few moments of silence. 'Things
were running along all right, and there
was no necessity for immediate action
until this big fellow from California
Wentworth's his name-came upon the
scene. He's been showing Miss Brown
ing the most decided attention. Took
her out three times last week in his
auto and twice to, the theater. In fact,
every time I went there she was out
with this COMPOUNDED Wentworth, and
/ haven't had a chance to say a word
to her since he came"
The terrier whined sympathetically,
and his master continued:
"He's twice as old as she is, Tip,
but that doesn't make any difference in
these days, when mel of seventy mar

be a law passed that would prevent
people from marrying when there is
more than Ave years difference in their

Rockefeller Will Live to ga.

Cleveland.-That John d. Rockefe-
Ter Will live to be more than ninety
four is the prediction of DR.. H. f. Big
gar, his family physician. DR.. Biggar
gar watched Mr. Rockefeller play golf
over the Forest Hill links and at the
finish declared that the Standard Oil
magnate was likely to live a quarter Of
century longer. @
William Rockefeller, John D. Rookie
fellers father is still living, and is
ninety-four. DR.. Biggar said he saw no
reason why the master of Forest Hill
should not live longer than his father.
MIR. Rockefeller has been born
twice physically, and he is only four
teen years old now. He is growing up
again scientifically, adding to his mus
Gle, to his lungs, to his heart power
with every breath of fresh air he takes
on Forest Hill and with every drive
he makes at the golf club.
"Mr. Rockefeller came to Cleveland
in 1898, in the middle of the panic per-
iod. completely broken in health and
spirit. He could eat nothing which
would nourish him His appetite was
gone and his nervous system was
wreck.
Doctor, I'm sick man. I'm afraid
I'm going to die. But it is not on ac-
count of my financial situation that
am sick, he said. 1T is through disap-
pointment OF my friends.
He asked the doctor to help him.
After few days DR.. Biggar went to
MIR. Rockefeller with his prescription:
"Drop all business cares; take regular
exercise, keep in the open air, forget
everything but play, and play as 81
your life depended upon it
Mr.. Rockefeller carried out the pre-
scrintion and dieted religiously.-
A few years afterward he was re-
covered.
