The Hundred Per Cent Child.

Every parent and teacher is en-
gagged in the pursuit of the 100 per
cent child. IF Sammie gets ninety
eight in spelling the teacher looks
at him sadly and asks. why didn't
you get hundred?" When he gets
home his mother says. why didn't
you get hundred? / suppose Henry
PuddingStone did didn't hep
1t isn't confined to spelling or any
other grade subject, though. The idea
Is that the real child, the best child,
is hundred percenter. He never tells
q lie; he never takes what is not his !;
he never skins in a lesson; he never
breaks a rule; he is never dirty; he
is always all right.
Now that would be perfectly all
right if the 100 per cent was an ideal
toward which every child was striv-
ing with the aid and sympathy of
his parents and teachers when he
failed-aid and sympathy based on
the knowledge that neither parent nor
teacher ever got hundred per cent
job done in his life and that he never
would or could. Life nolds no 100 per
cents.
Instead of that when a child fails:
when, for instance, he does what
every normal human being has done,
lies to shield himself, his parents and
teachers are horror stricken. They
take the attitude that the child has
about ii, scold about it and nag about
IT until the child begins to feel that
for him all hope is lost. This is very
bad for any child.
When he lies he is to be taken
aside and steadily told that he has

The oaks, Quercus. comprise a
large and mighty genus. There are
about $50 known species of them in
all. trees and shrubs of the northern
hemisphere. Their center of dis
tribution is in Central America and
Mexico, while in Europe the species
are but few. They are mostly trees,
often tall and massive. with stout
spreading branches, though some are
but shrubs. Most OF them are de-
ciduous: few are evergreen. Eco
nomically they comprise some OF our
trees of greatest value. and picto-
rally their rank is high also. either
grown as single trees or grouped in
groves and woods.
We have few foreign oaks in this
country, our own oaks, both in num-
ber of species and in size and pro-
portions. leaving nothing to he de-

Right away it comes to our minds,
accustomed to modern meanings of
words, that the original Pitmans. or
Pittmans, were miners, probably of
coal.
cial history begins TO discount this
theory. In the first place, the name
antedates the use of coal, though this
does not dispose of the possibility
of a few family names, formed only
in more modern times, having that
explanation. In the second place
there wasn't enough mining by means
family name formation to account for
the frequency with which the family
name is met.
knowledge Of the language of the
medieval English comes to the rescue,
however, and old documents, such as
tax lists and the like, clearly indi-
cate that the original Pitmans We're
dwellers near certain wells. for in
the Anglo-Saxon tongue the word

Of the Danes 1t was put" Remem-
ber that Danes settled certain parts
of England and left to some extent
the impress of their language upon
local dialects and you have the ex-

name was forgotten. Inversion of
the IN" and IN" is quite common.

My Neighbor Says:
By Vyvyan.

1t very frequently happens
that new kid gloves are split
the first time they are tried on.
This can be prevented by plac-
ing them between the folds of
a damp towel for an hour or so
before they are worn. The
moisture stretches the kid, SO
that the gloves will give to the
required shape without split
ting.
Before placing. a cake in the
oven test the heat by putting a
pinch of flour at the bottom. If
in one minute this turns black
the oven is too hot, if a dirty
yellow il is too cool, If a bright
golden brown the oven is the
right heat.
To reduce the coal bill. do not
use the poker too freely. To
make fire last long. get some
waste paper, soak it in water
and roll into balls. When the
fire is red, place these on top
and cover with small pieces of
coal. You will then have a fire
that will last for hours.
candescent mantles. Break
them up into a powder. store
in a small box and use for
cleaning jewelry. 1t gives a
splendid polish and does not
scratch the surface of gold or
silver.
Instead of lining linen and
china closets. give them a coat
of good white paint. This is
much nicer than paper. and
when cleaning is necessary all
that is required is to wipe them
out with a damp cloth.
A capital cleanser for var
nished and stained woodwork
is tea water. This may be made
by pouring boiling water on
spent tea leaves and straining
the liquid through muslin. The
tea. water loosens the dirt
quickly.
