SHE HAD A NlMBLE TONGUE.
The Old Duchess Could and Did Swear
Like a Trooper

Line iIOoPST.
The old Duchess of st. Albans. who
had been the widow of Mr.. Coutts. the
banker when the duke, much her jun
Tor in age, married her, was one of the
habitual visitors at falmouth. My first
view of her, however. was at the Grief
hotel, on her way through to Kenmore
when the duchess and her retinue ar
rived in eight carriages; for though by
birth of no family, she had a most eX-
allied idea of her own Importance Hsld
when paying a series Of short visits to
country houses was so convinced of
the savage condition of the highlands
that she Travelled always with her own
chef and patissier, who alone were per-
mitted to cook her meals at the inns
she stopped at on the road.
l shall not easily forget the sight of
the disgorging of the duchess own
chariot when it pulled up at the inn
door! First emerged her grace herself,
an enormously fat woman; then fol-
lowed her three nieces, daughters of
Sir Francis Burdett, whereof the
youngest and best looking became in
heritress Of her wealth. and Baroness
Burdett-Cou
These young ladies, evidently in NOR
fal terror of their awful relative-nOt
without reason-followed the duchess
in single file, dutifully carrying each
some article necessary to her grace's
comfort reticule, cushion, wraps,
books, footstool and bag Of toilet requi
sites, the duchess favorite lap dog and
her pet parrot in a cage, After them
came her graces private physician,
who Travelled always in the same car
riage as herself, so as to be on the spot,
while the duke preferred the coach box
to the company inside-and no wonder!
All the time the duchess tongue was
heard going-scolding complaining,
abusing everybody, from her husband
downward, in unmeasured terms. The
unfortunate nieces came in for no small
share of her harangue and earned pain
fully any share of her fortune she may
have left them in her will, for she
swore like a trooper or a Billingsgate
fishwife the whole time.-Lady Loain

Chinese Idols,

The Chinese, according to a mission
ary, are the most eXacting of worship
ers, When they pray to their idols
they ask for definite material blessings
and they expect results. The life of an
idol in China is precariOus. Gifts will
be heaped before it only as long as it
seems to be bringing about the wishes
of its followers, If the shrine falls
upon evil times and disappOints its
worshipers their homage soon fades
Not only do the gifts cease, but the re-
sentful people of the countryside will
come in a body and smash the ineffi.
cient symbol.

CHEMICAL EXACTNESS.
Bunsen's Feat After His Goblet of
Solution Had Been Upset.


The remarkable skill in dealing with
the material of their experiments that
some chemists have is well illustrated
by the following story told of the great
German chemist Professor Robert Bun
sen:
Professor BunSen evaporated fifty
hogsheads of water from the Durk-
helm spring and carefully isolated
from the residue a small quantity of
the salts of two very rare elements,
caesium and rubidium. He dissolved
these salts in a small beaker of water
and set them aside on his laboratory
table.
One day friend came to see Profess
sor Bunsen. Unnoticed by the chemist
his visitor in leaning against the labo
ratory table tipped over the beaker and
spilled its contents on the floor and on
his clothing. The solution looked like
plain water, so the man thought moth
ing of the accident and a few minutes
later took his departure.
Shortly after the gentleman had gone
Bunsen noticed that the contents of
the beaker had been spilled. Instantly
he ran out to the street, overlook his
friend and brought him back to the
laboratory.
With water Bunsen carefully extract
ed the salts from the sleeve of the gen
tleman's coat and his underclothing,
washed his arm, cleaned off a drop
that had spattered on his shoe, careful
ly washed the floor and the table, col
lected all the solutions together, puri.
fed them and on evaporation found
that he had recovered the valuable
salts! SO perfect was his skill that. he
had not lost weighable amount

Teaching the Letters.

The child is encouraged to look we'll
at the letters. Then the lesson pur-
sues its usual course. "Give me an
H." says the teacher; "then give me
o." Then she asks the name first
of one of them, then the other. They
are not taught the capital letters until
they have finished the small ones. Nor
do they learn letters according to
their regular succession in the alpha
bet. The child will peer into the va
rious compartments of the letter box,
and its lips can be seen to move as
1t tries to hear with its inward ear the
name of the letter desired.
Although the ten fingers are trained
by filling in the geometric outlines and
their eyes have become accustomed to
some, the children do not know what
they can write, They have, in fact,
learned to write without writing.
The usual interval between the first
preparation and the accomplishment of
writing is in children of four years
month and a half; in children of five
years only a month. After three
months most of them write well, and
those who have been writing six
months are equal in their calligraphy
to children of the third elementary
class in the public schools.

This Montessori school is still in opera

first woman in Rome to take up the
study of medicine and that it attract
ed great deal of attention and criti,
cism. Finally it was carried to the
ears of Pope Leo XIII. He, however,
gave his approval, saying he could see
no harm in it. She was graduated in
1896 from the College of Medicine in
Rome.

Rhode Island is the only state in this

the Montessori system of education,
