Expressed in His Own Way.
A certain Sunday S'ehool teacher who
had a ',lass of boys of "associated sizes"
establithed the mato= in her class of re-
peating each Sunday a Scripture passage
in unison until it was firmly implanted in
the "vagrant minds." The etneetion for
the Sunday in question was "'Tis I; be
=Cot afraid," and. after the usual mental
gymnastics had been gone through, after
sin expectant hush, one promising youth
volunteered the information that he knew.
"Well, what is it?" asked the teacher.
"It's me; don't get skeered," was the ren-
dition of the verse.

It is in composition, whether dealing
with history or mere essay subjects that
some of the most entertaining finds are
imbedded. A sixth -grade English youth,
writing upon the difference between town
and country life, observed that "country
people are very simple and are held in
contempt by the higher class of London-
ers London people are rarely s) healthy
:as country people, but it is not thought
genteel if a person hes a red face."

Electric Road Tip Mont Blanc.
Frenchman named. Faber proposes to
build an electric road up Mont Blanc. In
order to avoid the glaciers he suggests
tunneling just below a ridge which ex-
tends along the side of the mountain. The
upper station will be located upon a rocky
promontory some 800 feet below the top,
which is simply a mass of ice. The road
will be of the rack and pinion type and.
about six miles long. Power will be de-
rived from a waterfall. T veo million dol-
lars is the estimated cost.
