to a long line of everyday words whose
vowel sounds were all marked with the
proper sign.
"I don't think it can be necessary
when we never had them," said .Mrs.
W i neon.
"Bit just think how useful they are
in helping to find the correct pronun-
ciation of a word by the dictionary -
and besides, there are so many things
taught now that were never thought
of when we went to school, and I
think we ought to try to keep up with
the times for our children's rake as
eel: as for our own."
It was quite a new idea to Mrs. Wil-
son. who had hitherto thought that
the children's teacher should be quite
sufficient ter their education with-
out any supplementary aid from the
worm -nut mother at borne.
When she went back home that ev-

Mrs. Wilson drew a deep sigh ea abs
hung up the last tea. towel before the
fire to dry.
Iben he went into the dining room
and gazed earnestly at her normal
school diploma which was framed and
mewled a conspicuous place upon the
wall.
"To think, that 1, who was once so
well versed in all those 'ologies' should
turn into a household drudge, and if
things go on tbis way 1 shall soon be
tit for nothing stet."
Again she sighed deeply and drew to-
wards her a large work basket, full'of
sttc•kings, one of which she began to
darn Before very long the door op-
ened, and • little girl of ten hurried
in, exclaiming in an eager voice:

Little Fanny's face clouded over, and
she would hate burst into tears, but
just then Isar brother cams in, ex-

At atone nine o'clock there was a
click at the front door, and the two
children sprang to meet their father.
"Frames, guess who has taken the

"1 have no idea," she said, in the

The first food atter the chicks have
been out of the shell 24 hours may
be soaked bread crusts, or a cake made
purposely for them, and moistened
with milk or water. This cake is made
from the mixed meal fed the hens
(corn, oats and fine feed). A little
salt and saleratus are added and it is
then wet up like a, mashed Borough-•
ly baked. The uncooked dough, so
often fed is not fit for small cbinks,
and in its raw stats it is far herder
to digest. This cake should be fed
certainly twice a day for six weeks,
but after a few days the bill of fare
may be varied time: Moistened 'skein
the morning and at noon, with the ad-
dition of mashed small potatoes at
dinner time. Morning end afternoon
lunch, oatmeal moistened with milk

On the other bead, the discomfiture
is announced of a professional water
finder who made a tour in the Inland
of Jamaica, where in tie• dry season
water is a precious boon. He travel-
ed through the island, rod in hand, but
gtet.,,witjl„ little success. At one vil-
lage in the Santa Cruz Mountains he
pegged out part of the course of a sub-
terranean at ream, and then retired to
lunch at. a neighboring hotel. In his
abisence some wags removed his pegs
and lineal out a totally different
course. On his return the diviner took
up the new direction and continued it
for 180 yards, not discovering his mis-
take until It was pointed out to him.

abruptly. Peo,Ie are now asking who

TRAiN STOPPED BY INSECTS.
A peculiar incident occurred a short
time ago to a 8eptch express. which
really cape the story of the mouse
which got into the brake apparatus of
a train, and soon brought. it to acorn -
phew standstill. While on • steep in-
cline a mile or en from )nver,hin the
train suddenly slowed rip and eventu-
ally stopped, After In examination it
transpired that myriads of midges had
been ewer/Wog near the ground, and,
teeing crushed by the wheels of the
train, had left the rails in a very slimy
condition, preventing the engine from
gripping the raffle, and ad stopping it.
Although several dodges Were tried,
among these that of throwing earth
along the lige, t.hti tr),in was unable
to proceed tintil it was divided into mo-

nearly an hour.

No fewer than 804 native prices were

professions of loyalty were indulged
in by all and eundry. Nevertheless, not
six weeks afterwards, the bloody Bbe-
tan war broke out, and we were forced
to evacuate the important fortress of
Dewsngiri.
In 1887, four deye after Christmas
day, the fierce Wagheers of Hattywar
planned a desperate night attack on
our•carnp. Luckily, we were prepared
.for them. and in the fighting that en-
sued the tribe was practically_exter-
minated. This drastic keensdid not,
however, deter the Remotest, another
fanatical frontier tribe, from raiding
us in a similar manner, the following
October, and, incidentally, meeting a
aimilar fate.
Thy year 1872 was made memorable
in Indian birder senate by the Konica
ont.hreak ; and this was followed, two
years later, by an irhportant expedi-
tion against the powerful Duffle tribe,
undertaken to exert reparation for the
almost innumerable outrages they. had
teen guilty of on the' north-west fron-
tier. Apparently, however, the lesson
did not impress the neighbouring clans.
for the very next year the Jowskiwi,
an Afridi trite, reverted to their old
tribks, and poatinned the diversion
with variations up till 1577. ,Then,
after prolonged fighting, they were
finally defeated and dispersed, their
