SCHOOLBOY STORIES.' SoMe Very GootiTI cliOtealekser.V0:11 By Au RE- ' ,Dr. Maonamara, an ex -teacher, ap- peared recently at the Coburg Read Board School, Old Kent road, England, and delighted an audience with anec- dotes bearing upon board school hu- mor. He began by telling a story against himself. He win; recently at a prize diatribution, at ' Kennington Road Board School, and told the. boys that he would not see them again for twelve 'months. He Ventured to express a hOpe thdt, in the meantime, they would behave themselves and aot get into mischief ; one boy, evidently regarding him as wishing the. company the com- plimentre of the season, replied, "The same to You, • sir. For precooity, how- ever, the boy wile Wei being examined in mental arithmetic). in an Beat Lam-. bath school 'surpassed the Kennington seholaX. " Supposing," asked the exam- iner, " there were six glasses of beer on this table, and yOur father drink .one, how many would remain?' To this a, boy replied, " None, sir,''• The inspec- tor chided the puidli with the remark, "You don't Anew the simplest men- ial arithmetic," but the retort came promptly, " No ; and you dOn't know my father, sir," • There Vas an eleinerit of 'frankness about the boy who Wa.s being question- ed on a scientific Jenbject.

" Well, sie, should think you were very driink." Natural "history has, accord- ing to Dr. Macnamara, produced more than one unconscious wag in the ranks of board school pupils. One juVenile was asked to name the partieular place ill which the oatrich laid its eggs, and his queetioner* was solemnly inform- ed that it was in the schnol museum, There was, too, an element of piriliancy in the answer off the boy as to the dlefiention of a pilgrim. " A .pilgrini," said the boy, "is a man who trarels froln place to place," " I do that," said the insPeotcrr ; " tim I 'a pilgrim 1" The einawer came, " No; sir ; a pilgrim is a good man.". trile011ScibiTif-hurmor among is 11,:et, said' Dr. Macnamara, so marked as a.mong boys, Yet the girl who receiv- ed as a prize a book entitled "Our 'Fee- thered Friends," from the Bishop of London showed the nature and scope a her reading when she remarked to his lordship that she was not quite certain Whether our feathered friends were red ladle= Or angels. In another in- stance a girl in a domestic economy °lass gave the following directions for sweeping a room: "Cover up the fur- niture with (hist sheets, scatter damp tea -leaves over the carpet, then care- fully sweep the room into a dustpan and throw it'out of the window." 111IOFIRST DALLOON TRIP.

SILVER POLISH. • , A good liquid polish is by far the meet easily used, and may be ,made at home with very little troUble. Pur- chase a pound of whiting from any painting supply establishment. This will only cost five cents. Sift the whiting -into a large bowl,' add to it four ounces of spirits of turpentine. two ounces of spirits of wine, one ounce of spirits of camphor and half an ounce of spirits of he.rtshorn. Mix thoroughly and it will become creamy in appearance. When this stage is reached it is ready to bottle. When yon wish to use it shake the bottle thoroughly, then pour some out into a saucer. Apply it liberally with a soft cloth and stand the artiela away until it; is dry. Rub the powder off with a dry cloth and polish the article with a chamois. 11 this cleaning is dpne at regiilar intervals it will be very easy to keep the houtiehold silver in per- fect condition. A piece of camphor kept in 'the bag Or box in which the extra silver is kept will; keep it from tarnishing. • , . STUDY YOUR CHILDREN. Have you not often thought as you have seen other people's Children mkt. behave at the table, or have seen them carried screaming trona the room to be put to bed, that you would like to have the training of that child your- self for awhile, and see .how different it would appearr says a. writer. • Do not believe. as we are often told, that they are naturally bad tempered and cross. They come to us just as sweet teMpered and gentle as they leave the haiads of Cod, and all the evil tempers, and frowns and cross words are the reflections of ourselves. Have you ever thought of itY Think of it the next time that youi see a mother dealing with ber child, and if you kno* them both sufficiently well to be able to look back, YOU: will find you can recall a time when those harsh words fell from the mother's lips within hearing of the little one. Not many days ago two sisters, aged four and two were playing to- gether, and the elder called to the younger: "Come here!" in LW pleasant tone of voice. The little one looked around, but failed to respond to the ungen tie command. "Come here!" the elder repeated, louder than before, and this time the face was overshadOVred bY an uglir frown, The mouth was drawn into harsh lines, and the foot was stamped Impatiently, The little one stole quietly up to the Side of the other and looked wonderingly up into the distorted face, and the big blue eyes filled with tears. The mother sat by unheeding, and the unecintrolled little temper had gained another, notch, and had fastened itself by an - Other tendril. I dislike above all things to see an elder child, allowed to tyrannize over a smaller, and to tease it; remem- bering my own dxperience and how my temper, over which I never had too good contred, was tried by an elder brother being allowed to tease me; in a "harmless" way. Mothers, study your children more, if the last fashione and the least faney work must be neglected for this more ComMon and every day study. Yen will not be the •only one to profit thereby.

British Govern- ment, however,, thei arming of the Ooosithas and other specified regi- ments with, the Lee -Enfield magazine repeating rifle will take place with little delay, and a temporary issue of the Lee-Metford rifles from the reserve depots. ID India will be made to the other regimenta, in order that they may be put through a, course of instruction in the handling of their new weapons, preparatory to receiv- ing the Lee-Entields whicb will be sent. out to India as fast as they; cars be turned out of the small arms factories, This newly -arrived at decision of the Rritish Government is generally at- tributed in India to the unsettled state of Central' Asiatic politics and the fear of Russian aggresaion on the Per- sian and Afghan frontiers. In India the keenest interest is being manifest- ed the Russian movements whieh are reported and discussed in the 'baz- aars, and the visit of the Glijak, a Bus- man gunboat of 983 tons, to Bunder Abbas ati the entrance of the Persian Gulf to take, in 300 tons of coal that had been sent there by a Bombay firm has been; treated hy the whole Indian press as a matter of great Ingnifi- canoe. What seems to 'be considered most reruarkable about this affair is 'the foot that the Giljak bas not space in hex bunkers for so large a quantity of coal, and af ter filling, theni and taking a large quantity, in :tacks as a deck toad, the rest was left in, depot al: Bander: Abbas on amount: of the Busman Government. From this the vmpression has gone out that Russia has in this 'way put into effect the lien she is generally believed to Pos- sess upon that port,• and. has made it • permanent coaling station for her ships of war. One of the Indian pa- pers), commenting on the Subject, re- marks that Damian poets have sprung uP at impoitant points fronx much smaller beginnings; -and asks, with o there papers, what the British GoV- eminent m going to de abont it. ' The arming of the native troops with the Lee -Enfield /magazine rifle is re-. &larded, aa in part, a reply to -this act of Russia. Other steps, such as the streng/thening . of the garrisons of the British fortresses towarillianda- har, . and, the consolidation of the frontier districts'l oommands, are con- sidered tol be in the lame direction. The recent declaration of the Anmer of Afgkantistan of loyalty • ta the British; Government' is also spoken of, bid nab in eveiry • case so favorably as it plight! seem. to justify. It is potnted out -that its phrasecnogy con- tains nothing that can be regarded as directly anti -Russian, that in fact the Ameer commits himself to nothing and is sitting on the fence. •So far as the utterances of the Russian press are concerned, they are the reverse of unfriendly to Afghanistan„ whose in- dependent eguitence they describe as essential to, the accompliebment of Russia's plans to secure an outlet to the Indian Ocean, free. from, the in- tervention 'or control a any foreign flag, through Persia. Commenting on the war in South Africa, the native papers almost with- out exception, express wishes .for Its speedy concInsion, being of the opinion that if lit is protraeted too long, un- toward events, ;might be produced in India, already, suffering from ever ex- tending Tamtne and the plague. At the same time they are gratified at the evidence of confidence in -the fidelity of the Indian army to British rule, which haa been afforded by the British Government in the order to rearm' the; native troops with modern Weapons. • CITY OF BANGKOK., The Capitol of Siam, the Most Ep-To-nnte City III the orient. Bangkok, Siam, is probably the most up-to-date city in the East. As &re- sult of the gradual improveraent of the streets of the city duriug the last ten years, very many vehicles a all descriptions are used. The extent of the city makes travel by carriage al- most a necessity; hence, Bangkok is a long way ahead of any other city in the far Feat in the Use of wheeled vehiclea. The demand was at first aup- plied principally from outside sources, but of late a local industry has been apringing up, and 90 per Cent. of the carriages in Wm are now manufaetured in Bangkok. Without exception, how ever, they strike the stranger as un necessarily heavy and elumsy, The etreeta of the city are perfectly leVel no peint for miles around being More than three feet above high-water mark and, being built of macadam are most adaptable to the use of liglit-rumning vehicles a all kinds. MoreoVer, the nit/ tire ponies, which have proVed them- selVeli best fitted to stand the try- ing Cliinate, are very small, weighing only from 500 to 700 pounds, and•hard- ly Suitable for the heavy vehicles. But these little animals are used so exclu- sively that there are not More than 80 WI -sized horses in tbe city. Inview a these conditions, it would seem that the different styles, of light -running vehicleS would prove very desirable If MCC introduced, The workmanship and raaterlal must be first-class to meet tha climate, which changes Very quiek- ly frora extremely wet to hot and dry; Ng if well made, there is no doubt that our vehiele8 Would wear (Otte 48 well aa the ouinberSoMe ones now in use, While their greater Iightnese and beauty Would win for them it place In this market, HAVE NO trsn FOR THEIR TOES. if shoes go on forever why should not oue toes grow together/ We have no WM for them.

Among the objeeta found during went exesvatione in Egypt was a whole tompany of wooden soldier* 15 la height. sufficient quantity is being made. To avoid the poseibility of having a little free oil, we may use an (mesa ot soap. Free kerosene kills foliage. When ready to spray, dilute the emulsion with water, regulating the strength according to the plant tp be sprayed. As a general rule, lve use about one Part emuleion to 15 parti of water. In some experiments emulsion as weak aa 1-20 and 1-25 and some as strong as 1-10 were used. While the weaker solutions gave fairly &oil results,the 1-15 gave the best, the 140 being real- ly stronger than necessary. Usually ono thorough spraying is suffident„ la case the work is hastily done, or the Weeds very active, so that many ef them escape, two or three applicatione InaY be necessary. Kerosene emulsion kills by external contact.. London purple la a by-produot in the aniline dye factories, and the essential or active principle is arsenic. To pre- pare the solution,, simply mix thor- oughly 1 lb of the poison with 20 gals of water. While applying, stir fre- quently so as to give, all parts of the plant a eolution of equal . strength. As this is an internal poison, it must be thoroughly applied, leaving no un- paisened theme upon which the insect may Seed. Paris green is also an arsenical pots - on. It is prepared for spraying the same as tendon purple, should be ap- plied with the same object in view, and with the same precaution. It may be made a little stronger. than the purple solution. Some claim paris green contains a uniform proportion cif arsenic, while london purple is oft- en variable; but ordinarily it is suftici- ently constant. The chief difference is that london purple contains mere soluble arsenic and consequently it will injure the foliage more readily. The difficulty may be largely over- come by adding slaked, lime to the isolution a short time before Bern'. lag. . The lime will combine with the soluble arsenic, thus overcoming the danger to the foliage, and at the same time retaining -its poisenous quali- ties. Pyrethrum is used. mainly as a dry powder. In solution use 1 oz to 8 gals of water and apply as a very. fine spray. Keep the vessel eontaining the solution covered as tightly as pos- sible to prevent the evaporation of the volatile oil which. is the destruc- tive principle. • • . DETAILS OF MANAGEMENT. The periods of feeding should he regular, certain hours being fixed up- on for that parpose; .but there are.very few who thus systematically feed their fowls. Water 'should be kept in the presence of poultry; at all times, and it should not only be clean and pure, but fresh; yet this important matter is overlooked by many. 'Warmth in winter and a cool location in sum- mer are essential tci laying, being as important as a full supply of feed ; but every poultry -house Is not eomfor- table. The prevention of dampness in the house avoids roup, which is a terrible scourge in a flock, but the sinall leaks here and there are not regarded an dangerous Matters by the average poultryman. Even the height .o the roost and the construe. tion of the nests have more or less tendency to aftect the profit from poultry than many 'suppose, for high roosts cause deformed feet, and poor nests will not be ocoupied, by the hens if they can get better places in which to lay. Those things are seemingly srnailmatters, which are usually over- looked, but they are important to sue- eerm. Poultry should not be expect- ed to prove profitable without eare more than other stook and the faot that a profit is Wen derived from a frock that has been overlooked is a strong proof that poulary-raising can be made to pay well when ponduce- ed by thoughtful, attentive persons. It is the small matters that sh.ould re,. oeive the moat careful attention, 48 the observance of method and system itsimseusr.e to prove beneficial at all TRANSPLANTING YOUNG TREES CAREFULLY. There is little necessity of losing trees by resetting. A. large portion of those loet die because of injury dur- ing the process. In digging, reinove the surface soil down to the root sys- tem. Then dig aroutid the tree out- side of the mass of roots. Byl cutting under the roots with a Sharp spade on smell sidet the tree may be loosened from the soil with a good supply of young growing roots. . No matter how carefully the tree ia dug' many. of the young feeding roots will be injured and the supply of sap to the buds and branches limited. The branches con- tinu,e to evaporate moisture and as a consequence the tree is injured. To prevent this injury anmove the branches and buds in proportion to the injury to the roots. Ail Injured roots should be out off clean with a knife and the wounds of larger ones painted over with some waterproof covering. When the trees are planted. the roots shmild be placed in a fine, mellow bed of soil. The ground muat be placed firmly about the roots in close contact with every fiber and must be spread out in tho natural position. If the soil in which the tree is planted is the same from which the tree was taken, set the same depth as it was before. If it is heavier, set shallow; if lighter set deeper. The eurface of the eoll above the roots must be free and light, 80 as to act as a mulch and prevent emulate° evapotatiOn. yown••••••.• THE HORSE'S NOSE. Dr. Leeny, -who ranks high in Brit. iiih veterinary circles, says it iti easy to tell a 'Ore.'s character by the obeli° of his nose. He Nays that a gently curved profile and :sensitive, well pointed ears indicate a high spirited and gentle aninaal with very little liability to contract vicious habits. A dish -faced horse, on the other hand, by which is meant one that has a deat in the outline of the noae, may be set down as Oft the very reverse in dispoisition to this one described. The ROMA/I nosed animal, Dr. teeny mays, is aure to be eafe, though inclined' per+ haps to be alow, bet always Mite and 0 y o get through places that IWould step faster if not such strong ones. Further, the boom with a alight concavity of the profile will be apt to shy and need mueh eoaxing at tunes, and a horse that has dropping eau is apt to be lazy.

In these cases the diplomatist, Aiming that they must wear something dif- ferent from their everyday dress, have decided to wear lavender -colored trousers with broad gold bands run- ning down the Seams, There are two peculiarities of the American diplomatist. The first is, that they are even worse paid than the English diplomatist. The other is that their ambassadorial dress is the common or garden eveniwags dress. Roth of these peculiatities . are sere points with American ambassadors. The first envoy of the United States was Bsnjamin Franklie, master print- er, He presented himeelf at the splendid court of Louis XVI.„ at Ver- sailles. On this occasion the French king was wearing a coat embroider- ed with diamonds; the diamonds on the coat alone were valued at 4200,000, Franklin appeared in his Sunday best ; a brown homespun cutaway, something like our (Waning dress with the sWallow-tails cut off, brown smalls reaching to the knees, a white ker- seymere waistcoat, rough woolen stockings, a pair of thioksoled shoes with silver buckles, old-fashioned frill, fob, etc. • A suggestion bars been inade that the ambassadorial dress of the Ameri- can ministers should, be a replica of that which Franklin wore on his first appeararice at, Versailles. The only people that have any ob- jections to raise are the ministers who will have to wear the dre.ss it the idea is adopted. They imagine they, will be too much like walking' advertise- ments. • • • • Another suggestion; due to the war fever, is that all American ambas- sadors should wear the 'uniform' - a general of the United Statea army. A curious privilege of an ambassador. is that he, and he alone, when . dia- miSsed., may turn his' back to the sovereign to *hose court he is* ao- credited. ' Another privilege of the - 'ambas- sadors is the right of b,eing Ushered into the royal -presence through fold- ing doors, both of which .must. be flung wide open. • No one except an embus. sector Min • . claim • this privilegK the moat any non ambassadorial person can expect is • that ono of the leaves shall be opened to him. Another :privilege, capable of 'caus- ing great inconvenience). is the ambas- sador's right of admission to the se's- ereign at anY hour of day or night. EARTH'S* CENTRE. • II In Deolnri.il To Ile Hoi.41 n Diamond By Eecent Invedigniors. The theory was but lately held that the center of the earth was " occu- pied," hy a vacuum, but the recent and more 'general view has been that the interior of the glehe, though part- ly liquid, is for the most part 'solid. Some have considered , that a Section through the earth would show -the fol- lowing: 1. An outer solid envelope. 2. A semi -fluid envelope. 8. A fluid en- velope.. 4. A. semi -Sulu . envelope. .A solid nucleus. No. 1 results from a re- duced temperature oely. No. 2 frame pressure and temperature not quite sufficient for liquefaction. No. 9 from a temperature sufficiently high to pre - dace complete liquefaction. No. 4 from a pressure so great as to prevent even the. terrifio heat which most certain- ly exists deep -down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which it works. No. 5 from a pressure which overcomes completely the lique- fying power even of the maxim.= heat of tbs interior. This pressure is esti- mated to be,• at the center ot the earth, 7,180,598,750 pounds to the square foot -a pressure so enormous that no known substances could fuse beneath it. Even hydrogen at the high- est passible temperature would, under such conditions, become as hard as a diamond. Hence it seems probable that far from there being a vacuum at the center of the earth, there is. a mass et inten.sely solidified matter there. A. SENSIBLE FAD. • The delicate atitches of our grand- mothers bid fair th be rivalled by the girls lot to -day, as they have become most induetrious with needle and thimble, for hand work is one df the fads of the day and le in great demand. No ono would think of having a Batch of machine work about any of the dainty liagerie, now so popular, and anyone who oan "sew a fine aeam" is the most envied of mortals. Hand- made work commands exorbitant pric- es, and the few who have been old-. fashioned enough to care for anething. so commonplace are now reaping their' reward, while sewing lessons are be- ing indulged in by all their friend% and for a time at least sewing will have a conspicuous place in the edu- cation of the up-to-date girl. Indeed, even in the kindergarten they are teaching the little children the correct method of sewing on buttons, and doubtless the fair maid and her roll of ruffling. will be as inseparable as they were in colonial days.

No one walking down City road about midday can fail to be attracted by the Alexandra Trust Dining Rooms, whicb Sir Thomas Lipton has just built, at a cost of £100,000, says tbe London Daily News. In appearance this people's restaurant resembles a palatial mansion, rather than a cheap dining roora. Its white stone walls have not yet bad time to assume the modest gray of the majority of Lon- don buildings. A broad flight of steps leads up to two doors, by which admittance Is gained to the central hall, The women enter by a special door, a wise precaution at present, for the crush at the main entrance would be a far from pleasant preliminary to the three -course dinner, The hall is wide and spacious, and from either side doors open into the huge dining room, capable of seating 500 hungry people. It was decorated with palms and plants. On entering, both men and women obtain Macke for the amount they are willing to *mend on their midday meal. The 4 1-2d. dinners were by far the most popular, and the dining hall was orowded. The brass .oheolis are presented to the waitresses, who, in White cap and apron, serve the meals over a huge counter in the middle of the clininR room. Each person gets his own dinner, which is served en a little tray, and consists of three courses. Every day THREE DaFFERENT DINNERS are prepared, and any one of them can be had for the trifling sum of 4 1-2(1. And an excellent dinner it ta-the best of food, well cooked and well served, Here is tee menu of the 4 1-2d. dirmers for one day; , Soup; plate of Irish stew ; plate of roast pork, or large steak pudding; two vegetables; pastry, or mug of tea eoffee or cocoa. Men were crowded three or tour deep in front of the counter waiting their turn. As soon as the little tray had been sehurely grasped they at once made their way to the tables with which the room was filled, and lest no time in despatching their meal, Each table holds about ten people, and eaelz is provided with salt and pepper canters. All sorts and •ionditions of people were represent- ed among the dinere They were most easily classified by their head - wear. Cape, bowlers and felt hats were there in almost equal propor- tions, and I even saw severaleilk hats ia the midst of the hungry crowd. There 'were factory hands, laborers, clerks, newsboys and a few small buslness men. Many had come out. ef curiosity. • Upstairs a similar sight was to be seen. The diners there, however, were mostly women, with ,a fair sprinkling of men who preferred to dine a le earte. A meal on this fleor works out at a . 'SOMEWHAT HIGHER FIGURE, tlian a three -course dinner. But the list to !select from is very varied, and almost as long as that of an American hotel. The dearest item is a pork clicipi at 4.d., and the cheapest the puddings costing 1-28. each. Plates af beef, mutton, pork, or stew can all be had for the modest sum of 2 1-2d. The portion is large and the quality excellent. 'Whether the Prince did actually consume the whole of a three-coairse dinner or merely tasted it I do not know. He certainly could have eaten it without any gastronos mks compunction. The floor above will shortly be turn- ed into a dining room, but at the pres- ent moment is not quite completed. Each of the three rooms will seat 500, so that 1,503 people can be accommo- dated at one time. There is little doubt that the whole of this stelae will ba required, as the other day the number of people sell° set down to Meals . reached a total of 5,000. To serve this .great multitude about a hundred people are employed, and tb.ey are kept busy from morning till eight. The dining halls open at 8 in the morning, -when breakfast can he had hy the economical at a penny, for which a mug of tea and a bowl of porridge are provided, and by the recklessly extravagant for 4 1-2 pence. For that au,m a large cup of tea, a bowl of porridge, with milk and a plate go Irish stew can be enjoyed. Tea is ready by 5 o'clock, and a hearty meal can be had for a few half -pence. The doors are closed at about 8 in the evening. . The kitcwhen is situated at the very tap of the building. It is connected with all the floors and the basement by service lifts worked by electric power. All that is necessary is to touch a button and the steaming dinners glide noiselessly down to the busy hands ready to serve them, out to the waiting people below. The kitahen is splendidly. equipped in every reaped. • . FOOD BY THE TON and sorup.by the gallon can be cook- ed without any mere trouble than it takes to prepare an ordinary midday Meal. Tiseee are \two huge ovens heated by tam which can roast seven- teen hundrediveight of meat between them.. Two and a quarter tons of potatoes can be cooked within • an hour. Five hundred gallons of soup can be boiled at a time. There are special fish -boilers capable of hold - bag 120 pounds of fish. Heated ovens are provided for keeping the plates werm. Each warmer will hold 2,700 plates. Tea, coffee and cocoa are made by the igallon. By an ingen- ious mechanical arrangeinent It is impossible to pour ureter over the tea or coffee until it has reached the boil- ing point. In fact, every contrivance that the ingenuity of man has devised for the cooking of food and the mini- mizing' of labor la to be found in this people's restaurant.

How great John was we cannot know; that he was surpassingly great is. plainly de- clared, and if the rays of Jesus have temporarily obscured his brightness, we know at least that it'is of a sort to shine through all eternity.. See John S. 28-32. 2a. Among those that are born of women there is not a greater pro- phet than John.
