The Lady Who Danced the Minuet

The minuet was ever the aristocrat
Of dances. Before the lady of the
eighteenth century elected to step the
dainty measure she had many points
to master, for to dance the minuet was
to court criticism. The plunge taken,
she wore a lappet on her shoulder to
tell the company she proposed to
make or mar her ballroom reputation.
Another point of etiquette lay in the
gloves. A soiled pair was good enough
for the country dance, but an abso-
lutely new pair had to adorn the fair
hands which graced the minuet. And
so the lady of the eighteenth century
on dancing bent set out with two
pairs in her satchel.-London Chroni-

MaximS For Teachers.

The following suggestions given
to the pupils in Ipswich Sem
mary, where Mary Lyon was
teacher sixty years ago, may be
helpful to the teachers of today:
Convince children that they
have done wrong before yon tell
them that they have.
Convince the scholars by your
conduct that you are their friend.
Cultivate IN children a love for
truth and honesty.
Deficiency IN interest IN a class
may generally be traced to de-
ficiency OF interest in the teacher.
Deserve the confidence of your
scholars.
Do not frequently mention par
ticular faults.
Execute all your good plans, If
possible.
Govern more by kindness than
by precept.
Govern the large and small
scholars alike.
Have as few conflicts as possl-
BILE with those under your dlrec.
ton, even If you are sure of VIC
tory.
Have general exercises for the
whole school daily which will Sc
cure the attention of every
scholar. BY this means you will
cultivate social interest.
If a child is fretful, take special
pains to save him from irritation,
and in some indirect manner
commend him for having been
pleasant.
If child is lndolent, exercise
your ingenuity to occupy him
pleasantly in some useful employ
ment, and then commend him for
his industry.
lfa pupil should be peculiarly
deficient. never expose her even
to the mem bers of her class, but
IN recltations propose to her such
questions as she can answer.
If you have a dull scholar, en-
deavor to gain his attention even
to some neglect Of the others

LORINER WILL KEEP
SEAT IN THE SENATE
Charges Of Bribery Against Him
Held Not Proven.

The special subcommittee appointed
by the congressional committee on
privileges and elections which inyesti-
gated the bribery charges in the cleo
ton of Senator William Lorimer unani-
mously voted to report to the commit
tee on elections that the charges were
without proof.
According to information from Wash
ington the committee took up the evil
dence in its entirety at an executive
session. 1t canvassed the testimony
weighed the evidence and the argu-
ments, and took into consideration all
of the facts that have been advanced
in connection with the charges con-
corning Lorimer's election, and decid-
ed there had been shown no founda-
ton for the charges that bribery had
entered into the case in connection
with Mr. Lorimer's election.
The motion finally was offered to re-
port to the full committee of the SEN
ate that the charges were not proved.
On this motion there was no dissent
ing vote Following this action the
subcommittee report will be prepared
for the full committee at once; and the
report will be sent to the senate with
in short time.
The decision means that Senator
Lorimer retains his seat in the SEN
ate, and brands the story told by
Charles A. White of O'Fallon, ILL.,, that
he received 1000 for voting for Lori
mer as lie.
The decision also upholds the ver-
dict of acquital in the trial of Lee
O'Neil Browne on the charge of bril-
berry, in which Whites charge was the
chief evidence.
Senator Lorimer is now in Wash
ington. His son, William Lorimer,
Jr., refused to speak for his father,
but said he himself was very much
pleased.
The members of the committee who
gave the accused senator clean bill
of health are Burrows, of Michigan,
chairman of the privileges and cleo
tons committee; Buckley, of Connecti-
cut; Hepburn, of Idaho; Gamble, of
South Dakota; Paynter, of Kentucky;
Frazier, OF Tennessee, and Johnston,

MacauIay as a Child.

: Thomas Darlington Macaulay should
perhaps have ranked with the uni
.versal geniuses, but it is true that his
precocious gift was largely in the d.
rectiou Of literature. He read inces-
sanity from the age of three. At seven
he had composed very fair com
pendulum Of universal history from the
creation to 1900. At eight he had
written a treatise destined to convert
the natives of Malabar to Christianity.
AS recreation from this weiShty
work he wrote in the same year ro-
nance In the style Of Scott IN three
cantos, entitled 1.-THE Battle Of Chew
lot" A little later came long poem
on the history Of Olaf Magnus and q
vast pile Of blank verse entitled Fin
gaia Poem In Twelve Books" But
he disliked mathematics and did not
pass his examinations in that subject,
thus standing out among-all child
prodigies. His memory was such that
he literally never could forget any
thing and after twenty years could
repeat bits of poetry read only once.
