Lord Salisbury and His
Clothes

The late Lord Salisbury had an utter
disregard for dress, and this trait
showed itself even IN his schoolboy
DAYS. A school fellow of his used to
relate that an old nurse called Betty
was kept at the school to which he and
the future Lord Salisbury were sent
to look after the little boys.
One evening Lord Robert came into
the nursery and said disconsolately:
"Oh, Betty wish / was a cat!'
We'll, Lord Robert" she replied.
however can you wish to be such q
creature?''
.Oh. Betty" said the small boy,
when I think of the many times
must dress and undress before I die.

bean. Sometimes the tiniest of china

sweet dishes and nuts. The young
folks only get eau rougie." water red

If a girl gets the bean she must Sc

must choose a queen by dropping it

And call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
Across the sands OF Deer
The western wind was wild and dank

And all alone went she
The western tide came up along the sand
And DER and DER the sand,
And round and round the sand
AS far as eye could see;
The rolling mist came down and hid the

And never home came she.
Oh. is it weed or fish or floating hair.

Above the nets at sea?
Was never salmon yet that shone so fair

To her grave beside the sea;
But still the boatmen hear sher call the

towns or cities, which you can cut from
magazines or papers. a few flags OF diff
ferent countries and pretty postcards,
home or foreign, for prizes or favors-
If the room where the party is to
be held can be decorated with maps of
the different countries, foreign pictures
coats of arms of the countries or
states. so much the better. If any Of
the guests has specially attractive
souvenirs of travel, he or she may be
persuaded TO loan them so they can
be placed on a table for examination.
It is a helpful plan for each guest
TO bring some such interesting article
"a foreign coin, peculiar postage
stamp, a picture, a pressed flower, an
article of dress with a history-any
thing, in fact, a little out of the or
binary, and later in the evening be
prepared to tell some incident or the
history connected with each exhibit.
The game Of postmarK is played as
follows: Each player has a postmark
pinned to his back, and must find out
what 1t is by asking indirect questions
of any one In the room.
For instance, In what country or
state Is my pOStm&Ek lOCaJeQs - w W1th
what letter does it conmence?' rs it
a seaport or inland town?" etc. Prizes
of photographs or postcards may be
awarded the first and last finding their
postmarks.
For the next game try "a Journey
Round the World" For this have a
number of different postmarks. well
shaken In a box and let each person
draw one. The leade. has 4 list OF -the
ufy,ao orTrr
story of his trip around the world,
Introducing the towns Of the postmarks
distributed.
As he does SO. he pauses and the one
holding that special mark must tell on
the spur of the moment some fact or
incident in connection with that place
If he can't think of any story let him
invent one, the funnier the better
Here again prizes may be given to
the one who has the most interesting
fact to present. or the one who shows
the most vivid imagination.

INCORRECT NODE OF READING

what beneht she has derived from all
that she has read. There is not a
sign Of the beautiful thoughts, the
vivid imagination, and the Winged
words of all the wondrous pages which
she has devoured. Finally you realize
that she is a mental dyspeptic, from the
very same reason that causes physical
ones. She read constantly, giving her
self no time for digestion or assimila-
ton, and she might as well have fed
her mind on the very sawdust of liter
ature as on the great Bard Of Avon or
the best Of our modern writer's.
The delicate process Of assimilating
another's thoughts until they become
our own is not accomplished by steady
and persistent reading. but is rather
a slow and thoughtful method, read
ing, thinking, talking over, until the
idea becomes our own. 1t has passed
through another change, received the
impress of another mind, and if ever

TELLER AND
The Cell of the Bee

When we behold the bee constructing
its cell to contain its winter stock. and
constructing it Of that form which is
demonstrably the strongest and the
most convenienC, IL must be evident
to every one who has given the least
attention 10 the obvious properties of
different figures that there are only
three which will admit the junction OF
their sides without any vacant spaces
between them, all the figures beng
equal and similar. namely, the square,
the eQuilateral triangle, and the hex
ahedron. OF these the last is the
strongest and most convenient. In this
form. then. we find that the cells are
constructed. This is a wonderful fact;
and what is equally remarkable, the
middle OF every cell, on one side, is
directly opposite to the point where
the three partitions meet on the oppo-
site side BY this position the cells re-
ceive additional strength. This is not
all. II human ingenuity were to con-

planes which compose the bottom ought

mathematician, by a duxionary calcu-

angles were adopted for the purpose Of

mathematician, that he should de-

base. to require the least material BY
the infinitesima1 calculus he ascertained
that the greatest angle should be 100
degrees 26 minutes and the smaller 70

which the bee adopts. What an aston

mathematician is required to solve a
very difficult problem; and 1t is found
that this conclusion, gained by the
exercise OF considerable ingenuity and
deep thought, was practically exhibited
in the operation af-the bee.

Coffee House in Morocco

everybody drinks coffee or tea on the

at intervals during the walk: after the
walk; at getting up; at going TO bed.
and before and after each meal. Friends

A Family Chat With the Juniors

Loading the memory with facts,
however important and useful these
facts may be, is not education, and
the ability to answer promptly any
number OF questions by simply re-
peatipg definitions and statements
mom9rized from books is no evil
dence Of mental efficiency.
Children are not born equipped
with mental machinery in good
working order. Mentally. as well as
physically, they must have a suf-
fcient amount of proper food and
exercise and time to grow. Strength
comes to the mind. as well as to
muscle, By iudici0us use. The edu-
Gated man is he who understands;
who sees all there is to be seen;
who hears with his ears and not
with his imagination; who knows
how and where to find such infor-
nation as be wants. and what to do
with il when he finds il. The build
ing up Of such a man requires first
a good mental digestion and assim-
iIation acquired by sufficient prepar-
atory general education.
