Keeping on the Brakes

your voice, lace and body, for all
OF these parts Of you are engaged in
correct oral reading. You may say
that you have no one to teach you
how 70 read this and other selections,
but you are wrong. You can teach
yourself IL you will. Expression is
very largely a matter Of impression,
and II you study any selection long
and thoroly you can read It measur-
ably we'll.
Let me advise the following course:
First read the entire selection thru
carefully, with the idea of getting
thoroughly the plan of the poem,
the purpose OF the author, and the
persons and things introduced 10
bring out the purpose.
After seeing clearly that the writ
er cared nothing for the "Six Men
of Indostan" or the elephant further
tran to use them to bring out an I'm
portant principle of human life, and
that this is not a lesson TO correlate
with Geography or Nature study, go
through each stanza with great care
and mark those words of first i'm
rortance in bringing out the central
ideas with two lines beneath, and
those of next importance with one
limo. Having done this you are ready
to read again, guided by tue careful
ly thought out understanding of the
poem, so that you may give your
entire attention to making your voice
and general expression convey the
ideas you may have decided the au-
thor meant the words to convey. Car
ry this work until you feel as IL tho
thought Of the poem was something
OF your own which you must give 20
the child and you are in condition to
teach the lesson.
Now go before the class and read
and discuss the selection with them
until they see it as you do. In the
beginning you had better suggest the
marking of the words for emphasis.
but later merely read and discuss
end leave II to them to select and
mark the words. This will take one
lesson period. For the next ask every
one to be able to read the first
four stanzas as we'll or better than
you did.
In this way three lesson periods
are occupied and a fourth may we'll
be taken In reading a reproduction
OF the story or rather the
thought OF the story. II is almost
criminal to ask children TO reproduce
the thought of some poems, poems
Of high literary merit, such as The
Pugle Song, page 1T of the Fourth
Reader. but tho Blind Men and the
Elephant has small literary value
but is full Of moral, intellectual and
social value. 1t should make a per-
manent change in tho lifo and char
acter of every child who takes IL
as a lesson in school, and will do so
II you teach as you should.
In all OF the other branches remem-
Der to go slow and do your work
thoroughly. Never "Cut and Cover"
as the farmer would say In regard
to blowing, for ground unbroken and
roots of filth unkilled are hard TO
find and reach later on, but never
fear but that they will show In the
crop which will grow in time to come

them, why eat them at all? They are
largely water. woody hber. with some
mineral matter and navoring extracts,
and any of these ingredients can be
obtained from any other vegetable or
fruit and possibly at less cost to the
digestive organs.
Then, too, the matter of nourishment
and cost should always be considered
when planning the meals for day.
When cucumbers. which are more than
80 per cent water. are selling for 25
cents apiece the housekeeper Is hard
ly excusable II she provides them for
her family at the expense Of eggs,
milk. bread or some other food from
which nourishment is derived. Eggs
contain about IA per cent tissue build
ing material. Dried beans have about
20 per cent of the same constituent.
When the former are selling for 40
cents a dozen and the latter for 8
cents a quart 1t is the part Of wisdom
and thrift to have baked beans on the
table more frequently than omelets or
souffies.
The best all round dinner will in
clude a clear soup TO stimulate the d.
gestive juices. a properly cooked meat
dish. a vegetable or two-one fresh II
possible-bread and butter. TO which a
simple dessert. preferably fresh fruit.
Is added. Tea and coffee are not nec-
essary for nourishment or for aids to
digestion. In fact. II Is better to omit
them altogether. Once a day is often
enough to serve meat to any family.
Even the farmer who Is engaged In
active outdoor work will be just as
well fed and better nourished II he
eats flesh food only once day and
gets his tissue building material from
eggs, beans, macaroni and cheese or
some other Of the proteid foods. Sensi-
BILE people are learning. even II slowly,
that a large amount OF meat is not
necessary In the diet of even hard
working people.
What Is For Breakfast
Many housekeepers consider the bug
aboo of their daily work Is arranging
the menus for the ever recurring
breakfast, dinner and supper. They
hail with delight any suggestions for
new dishes that will furnish variety In
any bill OF fare. Breakfast Is general
ly light meal In most homes. but its
simple menu should present some vari-
ETY., and every dish included In II
should be prepared with special care.
In my opinion. meat dishes should ap-
pear but seldom on the breakfast Ia
BILE. little thinly sliced bacon or a
piece OF delicately Drowned fish be-
ing the exception. There is generally
quite enough starch. too. In the break

A/ knowledge Of food materials
w and what their function is In
the body the question that
naturally arises is what foods should
be combined In order to have a well
balanced meal. Without doubt every
kind Of food has some value In the
diet and for some people is a good
food. The question Is who may eat 1t,
how much should be eaten and when.
Personal peculiarities must be taken
into consideration In the discussion Of
food and food values. A safe rule for
any person to follow Is to avoid any
food which disagrees with him. There
IA always something else that will fur

Intelllaencs Of Bees.

In France, BONNER has communi.
Gated to the Academy of Sciences the
results of experiments which. he
thinks, demonstrates that bees pos
sess sort Of collective intelligence.
One OF the experiments consisted in
placins lump of hard sugar within
reach OF some bees. and near it a
basin of water. The bees. finding that
their mandibles were incapable of
breaking the sugar, organized kind
of bucket brigade to carry water from
the basin to the sugar. Having re-
duced 1t to a syrupy state. they had
no further diff1culty. 1t was noticed,
In all OF the BONNER experiments,
that single bees gave no such indica-
lions of intelligence ;. Their minds
seemed to wake up only when they
were acting in company.

A small, convenient house that may
be built for $4,000 Is just what good
many young people are looking for.
The perspective and floor plans here
shown go to make up just such a
house.
You can't have everything in a little
house the same as in a large house,
but you can leave out good many
things that are not necessary; and
that gives an opportunity to retain
the important features. A big living
room for instance Ia one of the great
Injuries of modern houses.
Not so many years ago everybody
seemed to have a craze for double
parlors. An architect was obliged to
design double parlors II he had to cut
them down to ten feet square each.
1t is a curious comment on human
nature that such foolish fad would
have to run itself completely out be-
fore people were ready to abandon, 1t
for something better. But small
houses are no longer built with double
parlors and the owners of old ones
are having the partition taken out.
wherever 1t is possible. and they are
in that way making the two rooms
into one good, big, comfortable. airy.
sensible living room.
We are learning something all the
time. We haye learned better than to
cut the front part of house UP into
small rooms. Another thing we have
learned is to put In windows enough
to light the rooms and to put them
opposite or on different sides Of the
room wherever possible, and another
thing we are relearning is the use Of
an open ire Good houses are all built
nowadays with CRATE or fireplace Of

second nature to enjoy 1t.
We would not like to go back to

the house, but as an auxiliary heater
