Be Just to the Teacher.

Perhaps no class of people meet
with so much or so severe criticism
as teachers Much of this criticism
is unjust and exists solely because
parents and others listen to unveri-
fed reports and do nothing to ac-
quaint themselves with the real in
ner workings of the school room.
Any person experienced with chill
dren knows that these reports, even
when absolutely truthful from their
point of view, cannot be relied upon.
Again any one who has the train
ing of children, has experienced
the modification that even the best
trained children sometimes woe
fully lapse from their knowledge of
good manners and courtesy when
away from home and among other
children. Some mothers will not
tolerate any correction of their chill
dren's manners by the teacher, TAX
ing it as a direct insult to their
home training, when it is but the
result of childish heedlessness OF
self-will. No greater injury can be
done a teacher than to condemn heI
at home in the presence of pupils
There are many-they usually al
lude to a teacher as schoolmarm-
who persist in believing and en-
couraging that a school teacher is
never to be regarded with other
than suspicion.

Goodbye.

1t is a hard word to speak. Some
may laugh that it should be, but let
them. Icy hearts a~e never kind.
1t is a word that has choked many
an utterance, and started many a
tear. The hand is clasped, the word
is spoken, we part, and are out on
the ocean of time-we go to meet
again, where? God only knows. 1t
may be soon, it may be never. Take
care that your goodbye be not a
cold one-it may be the last one you
can give. Ere you meet again
deaths cold hand may have closed
his eyes and chained his lips for
ever. All! he may have died think
ing you loved him not. Again it
may be a long separation. Friends
crowd on and give you their hands.
How do you detect in each goodbye
the love that fingers there; and
how may you bear with you the
memory of these parting words
many days? We must separate. Tear
not yourself away with a careless
boldness that defies all love but
make your words linger-give your
heart to it? Tears are not unmanly.

A Satisfactory Cleaner.

How would you like to do all of
the housework in half the time and
with half the effort? You can do
it, and in a way that is much better
and more generally satisfactory An
easy way that gets right down and
takes off the dirt better than the
ordinary and old-fashioned cleanser.
Old Dutch Cleanser is the modern
cleanser. Use it and see. 1t cleans
quickly, scrubs thoroughly, scours
and polishes brightly. Use it in all
your cleaning for woodwork, all
kinds of floors and painted walls,
cutlery and glassware, pots, pans
and kettles, in the bathroom and
throughout the house. Contains
neither caustics, acids, alkali mol
grit and it's uses are unlimited.

MEET IN CONGRESS AT ROME
berculosis to Be Held Late in
September.

Official announcement of the Seventh
International Congress on Tuberculo-
sis, which will include representatives
from every civilized country in the
world, has been made by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. The congress
will be held in Rome from September
"a to 80, 1911, and will be similar in
many respects to that held in Wash
ington in the fall of 1908. The con
gress, which meets every three years,
will be under the direct patronage OF
the king and queen of Italy.
An American committee of 100 will
be appointed as the official represen-
tatives of the United States. Mean
while the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
is acting in that capacity and its office
in New York will be the headquarters
for the United States delegation. The
secretary general of the congress is
Prof. Vittorio Ascoli of Rome.
AS direct result of the stimulus of
the last international congress held in
this country, the American committee
will be able to report that the number
of tuberculosis agencies in this coun-
try have been tripled in the three
years. More than twice as much
money is being spent in the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie-
ties and institutions, and the appropri-
ations of federal, state, municipal and
county have increased nearly four
fould. 1t is estimated that nearly $751;
100000 will be spent in anti-tuberculo
sis work in 1910.

HOME OF ANDRE AT BATH
Historical Personase's House Is Still
Standing, and Oddly Enough
II Is No. %.

Bath, England, is city of ancient
mansions, so Major Andres house is
still standing in the Circus, which
consists of three blocks, in which
every house has at some time been
occupied by some historical person
age. Oddly enough Andres house Is
No. 23. 1t is exactly like all the 9TH

building is the exact duplicate of the
other, red brick, with weather-stained
white cornices, dilapidated window
boxes filled with sickly geraniums that
rarely show blossom, and the inev-
liable ivy trained over the front An
air of profound melancholy and m,Rty
gentility broods over these crumbling
mansions, each one of which can tell
tragic story of fallen greatness.
They are tenanted by people in a
state of decayed gentility, mostly re-
tired army and navy officers, or their
widows, with sprinkling of profes-
sors, doctors and music teachers.

house is fine OLD red brick structure
veiled in ivy. The guardsman's unholy
revels are said to be repeated there
nightly, and carriages are heard
rolling in and out of the. weedy old
garden until the "wee sma' hours"
Andres house also is reputed to be
haunted, not by the British officer, but
by a yelled woman in white, who
walks the halls at midnight wringing
her hands.

We'll, no. said the fisherman, I'VE

BILE. We have an easier way of meas
uring them than that.
Every fisherman has sawed in the
seat of the boat little notches of the
right distance apart TO indicate the
lawful length at which fish may be
taken, and when he takes out of the
net fish that doesn't look much too
long he lays its nose against one of
these notches and its tail against the
other.

cellent prospects. Besides that, as a

so as to form IAN almost solid layer
