Once upon q time, says the San Franz
sssco Examiner. there was q judge
named Redman, who presided over
big territory, which kept him racing
from Santa Cruz to Salinas and San
Luis Obispo. The Spanish population
was the chief race to be found in that
district, and Redman knew but two
words in that language, which were
''No tiende, and was put to the neces-
sity of employing a court interpreter,
who attended him in his rapid tour OF
the big circuit.
1t happered that a murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey and that an
important trial must be attended, miles
away, on the same day. Redman's I'M
terpreter had gone off to fandango in
the wilds somewhere and could not be
found when court was opened, and Red
man was in fury of impatience. At
last, when he could endure the delay
no longer, he said to the man below in
the dock:
Prisoner at the bar-stand upl"
''No tiende," said the man, shaking
his mead stupidity.
''You don't savey, do your" exclaimed
tie judge sharply. "Well, do you un-
derstand this?" and he proceeded to
gesticulate vigorously with his hands
and indicate the motion of rising. !,
The man finally comprehended and
arose stifiy in his seat.
Prisoner at the bar, it Is the sentence
OF this court that you be taken from the
place whence you came on Friday, the
s7th day OF June next, be hanged by
the neck until you are dead, and may
God have mercy on your soul. Now,
do you savey that?"
The poor prisoner shook his head in
bewildered fashion, and could only cry:
"No tiende, no tiende."
Is there anybody present in this
court who can translate that awful
sentence to this prisoner?'' demanded
the judge of the bali dozen of officials
and spectators in the room. They were
in the same boat as the prisoner, and
could only shake their heads mourn
fully.
'Well," exclaimed the judge, a bright
thought striking him: ''I'n just show
you, then, this way:" whereupon he un-
reeled yard of red tape that lay on his
desk, and, twisting it hurriedly about
his own neck, held the two ends high
over his left ear, at the same time roll
ing his eyes and wagging his tongue
down against his chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in ths
court room. They understood the grim
judicial kindergarten completely.

The mind has what may be
called three different levels. The
first Is the seHsory level. represent
ed by the phrase, ''in at one ear
and out of the other" Every one
has experienced reading a page
when the mind would wander, and
only the eyes follow the lines on
down to the bottom of the page,
nothing remaining as to the mean
ing of the text. It is easy to
glance q lesson over just before
recitiug and have 1t stick in the
memory only long enough to serve
the purposes of the recitation.
Things learned in this way are not
permanently serviceable, and really
constitute no part of an education.
The second level of the mind
may be called the memory level
Matter which enters the mind only
to this depth may be retained for
considerable time, but Is little
understood and hence OF small
value.
All rules and definition commit.
ted without knowing their mean
ing or seeing their application, aud
all lessons learned merely to recite
without reasonable grasp of their
meaning, sink only as deep as the
memory level.
The third and deepest level is
that of the understanding: Matter
which permeates down through the
sensory and memory levels, getting
thoroughly into the understanding
level, Is not only remembered but
lis understood and applied, and
therefore becomes of real service
lin our education. OF course 1t is
clear that the ideal In teaching
should be to lead our pupils so to
learn that most of what enters their
memory shall also be mastered by
their understanding.
Therefore. the recitation should
ftest not alone what the pupil knows
but also HOW he knows 1t; not
alone to find out whether he can
recite. but also what are his meth-
DDS of learning.
We should discover not alone
whether the facts learned have en-
tered the memory. but whether
they have sunk down into the
memory level, so that they can be
used In the acquisition of further
educatin. PRESIDENT.

little cow pony with his lasso tied to
his saddle, when he saw the eagle fly

over the eagles neck and under one

HOW TEE GNoadHzs
 SAWED THEIR HOMES
fBy virginia vale.l

Once moon a. time the Gnonnes heard that wicked selfish old man was go-' ing to try and get their home and land away from them They called a. meeting to decide how they could pre- vent it. Everyone had a different way
 to suggest and it took a. long time to
 see which was the best At last they
 decided and the mice said they would
 help her.
 The King Gnorne called two of the wisest fof his men and said they must
 first write q letter to the old man and
 explain how they had lived on this
 ground for a great many years and their fathers and grandfathers had
 lived here before them so they knew the land was rightfully theirs.
 The old man just laughed when he read the letter and said h6 was going to have that land. You know every one else is kind to Gnones and they are always doing nice things gor every one. us alone we must send the mice tp him and they will bother him so he will be glad to give us our land z The next day hundreds and hum l dreds of mice got into the old man s
 house and they pdbbled the floors. and 1 ate his corn, and kept him aWake all ,, night but still he would not promise l to behave
 f Then the mice went out to the barn and ate all his corn, his meal. and all | the hay and when he got up the next morning he knew then that the l Gnomes were in earnest and he I thought he better tell them he would l leave them alone, so he got his pen
 and paper and wrote nice letter tell 1 ing them to call the mice away and I he would not bother them any more The King Gnome read them all the letter and had it nailed up outside where everyone could see it and that
 is why no one ever Nbothers the little 1 Gr1orues but are ready to help them and leave them in their own little vtl- Iage.

The object in so doing was to prevent the mice from devouring the food, but a few months ago 1t was noticed that one of the birds had placed pieces of hay. feathers, and other material on the top of the bottle, and in few days time these grew into a lovely nest, beautifully lined with small feathers, and the bird laid four eggs, on which she was sitting at the time I took a photograph.

MOISTURE IN LIVING ROOMS.
Throat and Nose Troubles in Winter
 Caused by Dryness Of Air.

One reason for throat trouble in tine winter is, according to Laura Af.. Stewart. instructor in home economics in the University of Wisconsin, the lack of sufficient moisture in living rooms. Too often we do not supply our living rooms with a sufficient amount of moisture to safeguard our health properly, she says. One reason for so much throat and nose trouble during the winter months is that the mucous lining is deprived of it's necessary rnoisture. making it less resistant to germs. s This lack Of moisture also causes the furniture to crack and spread at the joints.''
 Miss Stewart has various remedies for the moistureless condition
 In country homes where neither hot water nor steamboat is used, the house. wife may have the air sufficiently
 moist by keeping a small basin of water on the back of the stove. In houses heated by furnace .or the hot air system. she recommends the use
 of wooden bench open at each end and which may be fastened over the register Under the bench and above the hot-air register, may be attached a series of narrow metal vessels held together by metal bars. These vessels filed with water allow evaporation enough to counteract the dryness of the air in the room.
 A device to be used with hot water or steamheatins systems consist of a long. marrow vessel made to fit be-
 tween the wall and radiator. Iris dish or container, which can be made Fby any timer, is provided with hooks to clamp over the rod between the coils where it will be held securely in
 place. When filled with water the slow evaporation will increase the
 relative moisture of the air and the
 heated air currents will distribute it, l New York Evening Post

 One fashionable shop advises two sorts of powder, one for daylight use sand one to apply in the evening. The evening powder because 1t Is to pe used under artificial light, mas q mauve tint. while the daylight pow der has a pinker tinge.
 It is vastly important that all pow ders be fresh; even old, stale starcn, whether potato, rice or corn, is irri- tating and corroding.
