Mary Amman was divided in her af-
fcctcns between Boyd Peyton and
Robert Darrow. But before Boyd
had been long in Mobile, a love for
n new idol sprang up in Mary's
heart. The name of this new IDOL
was the Southern Cause. Mary. a
Soufherner, heart and soul, wei
coined the rupture. Boyd Peytonts
love for the South was more than
counterbalanced by his love for the
country.
At her birthday party. Mary An

bads none to drink to her who did
nct love her. and forbade any tn
love her who did not love the South.

promised to marry him.. When the
local company of militia came to tie
house and announced to Boyd that
they had elected him their captain.

allegiance. In the face Of the horr!-

his decision. So. even while he was

Teaching French With Mirrors.

A<oauOh
teacher at the Tottenham Grammar
School adopts a very effective method of
teaching French to boys. English chill
dren find great difficulty with the French
pronunciation. Their own tongue is SO
complex, both in spelling and in pronun-
citation. that a simple Latin tongue like
French comes to them a surprise.
The teacher in question hit upon the
idea of getting up series of sound
charts, each of which teaches. with the
aid Of designs and diagrams. the way in
which the lips should be opened and the
tongue placed to form the sound of a
French vowel. whether accented or not
The series includes two charts for (open
or closed). three for (e, e, e., one for l.
two for o. etc, and other charts for the
real diphthongs de, OF. etc.), and the false
leu. ou, etc..
The pupils carry little mirror to class,
and. placing themselves in turn before the
chart, they try, by comparing the image
of their own mouths with the diagram, to
give the correct position to their lips and
tongues. Lessons in class follow these
separate repetitions.
1t Is hard to believe that this system of
teaching French does not exaggerate the
difficulties; but the results reached during
the last two years show that 1t is effect
i've After ten months of instruction, six
hours to the week. two-thirds of the pu-
pills are able to read French with a good
accent, and when they return to school
after the long vacation they have lost
nothing of the principles SO laboriously
ACQUIRED. Now, in schools that have not
vet adopted this system, nine-tenths OF
the children pronounce French with very
had accents indeed at the end of their last
wear of study.

Brains in the Feet.
From London Tit Bits.


The necessity for combining intelli-
gence with muscles and nerves in ath-
letics is emphasized by Mr.. E. w. Hjert-
berg, coach Of the Swedish Olympic team,
In Athletics in Theory and Practice" All
those who train with the idea of win
ming prizes on the athletic track, he
saws. should always remember that the
brain plays an important part in training
as well as in contests. He points out
that in the old days it was usually held
to be enough to train the body, and the
more drastic the training the more like
ly success was thought to be.
Nowadays it Is necessary. II a man has
to win success on the track, that he
should have brains in his feet, as the
saving goes Mr.. Hjertberg points out
that many contests have been lost by
good athletes just because they dld not
think quickly or accurately enough.
Today. in training, brain and nerves
are given even more attention than the
body Furthermore, an athlete Is allowed
to think for himself and is allowed to
eat practically anything he likes Many
athletes are advised not to smoke. to
drink but very little alcohol and to go TO
bed every night at 1880.
When training. writes Mr.. Hjertberg,
YOU must learn to obtain complete con-
troll of your nerves, as 1t is Just the
nerves and your strength of will that WIN
for YOU in the final struggle When you
are about to take part in some athletic
competition you will be, to some extent,
nervous. That is to say, you Will be in
an abnormal state of mind, but at the
SINE. time you must have full control
over your will power and energy There
are many men with great nervous energy
who do not know how to make use OF II.

One Drink at a Time.
From London Tit-Bits.

From London Tlt-Blts
The article we recently published about
a well known London public house called
Dirty Dicks where It was the rple
that only one drink could be served to
customers at single visit. brings to
mind another licensed house in the city
where not only is a similar rule enforced,
hut where smoking is strictly prohibited.
The proprietors of this licensed house,
which is in Artillery lane, Bfshopsgate,
frankly state that they reserve to them
selves the right to conduct their business
upon any system they may deem expedl-
ent, and they cannot permit their rules
to be broken on any account with i'm
punity Furthermore. they respectfully
request all persons objecting to the reg
ulations, and. who are not willing to act
in strict conformity Herewith. to kindly
transfer their patronage to some other
establishments
For upwards of sixty years they have
adopted with others, the following
three rules:
..No person or party of persons can be
served, under any circumstances, more
than once, the rule being that he. she. or
they (as the case may be- must have left
the house at least half an hour before
either is entitled to be served again.
1.-THE quantity served upon any occa-
sion. for consumption on the premises,
not to exceed one gill Of wine, half gill
of spirits or one glass of malt liquor,
for each person.
Smoking is strictly prohibited at all
times and under all circumstances"

From time to time the end-of-the-world

n HANY of the relics of Christ are
M related to the scenes of His pas
sion and cruciixion. 1t seems a
remarkable fact that little has been left
behind in the way of material belongings
that could be gathered together by fol-
lowers
Nevertheless. some few mementoes have
been saved. Stories about them must be
regarded for the most part as legendary
and speculative. inasmuch as the long
span of years since the first Easter sea
son renders veritication quite impossible.

one comprising parts of Christ's body and
the other comprising objects which be-
longed to Him or which had touched His
person. OF Christ's body. all that re-

of the image with spear and blood be-

tians.
