How ! Hat is SIZED.

q. writes that the size of hat is
calculated on curious principle. It
is the length plus the breadth divided
by 2. Thus head 81 inches long and
81 inches broad would require hat
size of 141a divided by 2. which is ~
-Gladstone's size.
Your correspondent q. is perfectly
right in his description of the curious
way in which the. size of hat is OBJ.
tanned. writes G::. but his sample di-
mansions are slightly misleading. Such
an "oval" as SA inches by 5A inches
would scarcely be met with twice in
lifetime The normal difference be.
tween the length and width tcchnical-
ly called the ''oval') is invariably
through the gamut of sizes ~ inches.
Thus an ordinary 6M hat would meas
ure ~ inches long and inches wide
and ~ -four sizes bigger s inches
long and Gla inches wide The longest
head have measured in many thou
sands was s9s by rs. which is the
equivalent of a 2A inch oval. Needless
to say, the inside of the hat was the
shape of a canalboat. Manchester

Oneida School Notes.

Vacation! Yes, the time when the
teacher is busy in preparation for
the work Of the coming school year.
Really the teacher has no vacation
as is commonly supposed.
To be sure she does not have to
go to the building each day and con
duct the Rotations and study per-
iods and superintend the play ground
but she has to think it all out in ad-
vance for a nine months session.
She is also carefully andconscien-
tiously considering the inclination,
the ability, the capacity, the individ-
uality, the likes and dislikes, the en-
vironment, the home influence, the
associations and the possibilities Of
each and every child that is to come
under her care and training.
She is studiously thinking of how
to arrange the program, of the new
games for the play grounds, the
newest methods in teaching and how
they will apply to her scholars and
school to be etfectual, the things to
be done to improve and beautify the
school-grounds, of how to procure
necessary apparatus and library for
the school and of many more things
that are required to manage school
home of anywhere from ten to forty
restless, active, interested boys and
girls SO that all things shall work
together for the best good of the in
dividual as well as of the whole.
And this is not all. The live
teacher attends the Institute two
weeks, takes several educational
Journals, and belongs to the Read
ing Circle all of which must receive
concentration Of mind and energy
as we'll as no small expense of time
and labor and money.
DO you wonder that at times her
energies seem well nigh exhausted
and she longs to go away to the
woods or mountains for rest which
means recuperatin and to be created
anew And she ought SO to do.
And how are the children spend
ing their vacation? They should be
as free as the birds in the sunshine
and the air with those duties and
pleasures thrown in such as every
child loves and every well-regulated
home furnishes.
We do not approve of idlers dur
ing the vacation period any more
than during school period. 1t be-
gets the wrong kind of characters
for future citizenship and is the
cause of some Of the frictions in the
school-room.

Tho Ticket That GANG BACK.

A prominent railway man tells of
railway ticket that took n sudden jour-
ney OF Its own account. 1t appears
that as a northbound train on the Colo
RADIO and Southern road passed one of
the stations II passenger in forward
car raised window, and In an In
slant his ticket was blown from his
hands. The passenger naturally gave
1t up for lost and was much surprised
when the baggagemaster handed 1t to
him little while later. 1t appears
that when the ticket few through the
window a southbound train was pass
ing. The suction of that train, which
was moving at rapid rate, drew the
ticket along with 1t, and as 1t passed
the rear end of the nothbound train it
blew into the door of the smoking car.
There it was found by the baggage
master.-Minneapol Journal.
