It fell, one day, that Andy purchased
of Mrs. Sawyer ten dozen ekgs at
twenty Cents a dozen, in exchange for
which he was to give her twenty yards
of calico at ten cents a yard. On

that there were twenty and one-half

You might throw the odd half yard

Melinda.

"Four," reported Melinda, "At

Then you got just one left to carry

In few sections are the differences
between the past and present of rural
Ontario more marked than along the
Kingston road, east of Oshawa. Men
whose eyes are still Clear remember
when between Oehawa and Bowmanvine there was a tavern for every mile
of the muddy roadway, and the farm
boildings were in keeping with the mud
of the highway, To -day there is not a
single drinking place in the entire dis-
tance, the roadway is all good, almost
every farm has its silo and basement
stable, rural mail boxea are at every
gateway, telephones connect rural
homes with the nearby towns and over
elearly half the distance electric lights
are more common than they were in
the large cities fifteen years ago.

RETARDING Cl-IILDREN AT
SCHOOL.
(Mail and gmpire)
The length et:Aline a pupii takes,
or should take, on the average to
complete his course in the ordinary
public school must be a matter for de-
cision by educational experts. No one
else has, or can have, any ground on
whieh to base a dogmetia opinion.
That many pupils take more time than
14 really necessary to get through
school is generally their misfortune
rather than their fault. but any re-
tardation at their expense and loss is so
great an injustice to them that it ought
if possible to be avoided,
The retardation of pupils without
good cause is as unjust to the whole
community as it is to them. Retarded
pupils fill up lower classes when they
should be in higher ones, and fill up
higher classes when they should be
either in occupations or taking advanced
courses in higher schools. Their
belated presence in the public school
means more classes, more class rooms
and more teachers than are really ne-
cessary. This all goes to show that
retardation is a serious hindrance to
the schools and an evil to be got rid of
in the intorest rlf the community.
The slo.e pro„eeas of the pupils who
ought to be progressing rapidly is due
to several causes, which are fairly
well known, are not all irremediable.
For example, some pupils are sent ir-
regularly to school, and they hinder
their classes, including the pupils who
attend school regularly. Some pupils
are naturally dull, while others are
bright even to precocity. Some are
hirkers, while others are earnet
workers. Some respond readily to
led stimulous, while others can hardly
e made to feel the spur. It is obvious -
y expedient in the interest of all who
ave to do with public school pupils
hat eaeh one should, so far as practic-
ble, be allowed to progress according
o his ability and application.
In a graded school it is always
ifficult to prevent the spirit of en-
husiasm from being chilled by enforced
ela.y, and mobility to be replaced by
tagnation of unnatural to a normal
hild, and stagnation of mind is equal)
o. A clever pupil may, with a fair
egree of safety, be put into a higher
lass that will force him to exert him -
elf, while he may be easily and in-
urably converted into a dunce by
mg held back in a class that is too
ow for his natural speed.
One obvious remedy for retardation
to advance a pupil to a higher grade
henever it seems to be in his interest
dvisably to do so. There should be no
xed time or age for promotion from
rade to grade, and im pupils should be
cticiously held back to be subjected
a terminal test. Each class teacher
ould be constantly on the alert to
stover pupils who are suffering from
tardation. Each principal should in -
St oe such cases being brought with
t needless delay to his notice. Each
spector should have such pupils in
ind when he is performing his inspec-
ral functions. In this way the in -
bus of pendantic inflexibility that ob-
sses so many sehools might be avoid -
and eaeh school be kept a eontinuous-
flowing mass of individuals.

and particularly vidth China, that mar-

extraordinary artistic manifestations,
that curope first began to realize the

A Welcome Visitor.
Proepectors iu Alaska wlao spend the
long winters up there sometimes are
incredibly lonely. A man named Hart-
ford was left in charge of a mthe one
winter. He was alt alone and at the
end of the third month was sigh/rig for
companionship. One morning he left
his cabin to get some wood and met an
enormous black bear that reared on Its
hind legs and stretched out its front
paws as if to hug the miner.
"Good morning, bear," said the rath-
er, holding out his hand. "I'm darned
glad to see you."
Holland.
Holland, known as North and South
Holland, forms part of the northern
part of the Netherlands. These prov-
inces are composed of land rescued
trona the sea and defended by imraense
dikes. Holland was inhabited by the
Raterl in tbe time of Caesar, who ramie
a league with them. It became part of
Gallia Belgica and afterward of the
kingdom o' Austria. From the tenth to
the fifteenth century it was governed
by counts under the German emperors.
Holland was at one time a Dutch re-
public. It was created a kingdom in
1800. and Louis Bonaparte, father of
Napoleon III., was declared king.—Ex-
change.
Actors In Retirement.
Many actors hare lived long after re-
tiring from the stage. Macready, retir-
ing in 1851 at the age of fifty-eight,
passed an honored leisure till his death
at Cheltenham, England, in 1873. Aft-
er Mrs. Siddons' farewell appearance
as Lady Macbeth in 1812, being,- then In
her fifty-seventh year, she spent her re-
maining score of years in almost un-
broken retirement. The record in this
respect. however, is held by that fa-
mous Master Betty whom in 1804 Lon-
don acclaimed as the Infant Roscius.
His positively last appearance was
made on Aug. 9, 1824. at the age of
thirty-two. He died in August, 1874, a
"resting" of half a century.—London
Standard.
Watching the Sridegroem.
It was not only the matchmaking,
advertising parson who made money
out of the bygone bridegroom. There
was the man who watched the bride-
groom for twenty-four hours or so be-
fore the time fixed for the ceremony
lest be turned tail at the thought of
the ordeal and its after effects. Here
is an entry in the register of a village
church in Huntingdon which illustrates
the custoth: "December, 1647. Paid for
wages spent upon the man that watch-
ed John Pickle all night and the text
day till he was married." Such precau-
tions recall Stevenson's definition of
=adage as a "friendship recognized
by the pOlice."—London Chroniele.
