BT MARION LOUDON
For a part of your morning exer
cises, have you tried reading aloud
from an interesting book? From
five to teu minutes is long enough.
“Alice in Wonderland,” and ‘‘Little
Men,” are suitable for this purpose
ilh smal’ children. In an ungraded
school, lvipliug’s “Jungle Hook”
may prove fascinating.
1 have seen boys and girls much
interested in having their names
printed nicely on the board when
the arithmetic was performed cor
rectly. You can print the names of
those who have seven or more exam
ples correct out of ten, putting the
number, found . oonrect after ,’tlio
name.
In many schoolrooms, quotations
are printed on the boards and
learned by the p pils. A three-
minute drill on this work forms an
interesting part of the Opening
Exero ses. One quotation for each
week is sufficient.
In the higher grades the quotation
is often used as a drill in articulation
and enunciation, as well as iu exact
pronunciation.
In drill work, do yon talk to your
children or to the board?
In Phonics, do you make the
children look at the word as they
sound it.? It gives them the aid of
a visual image.
In pronouncing words for children
exaggerate the syllables; t. e., vow
el, low-el.
Be sure children can see yoiu lips.
If children get out of line during
class time, do not help them to their
places. Rely on spoken directions.

“No, thank*." said the sad faced man
when he was asked to Join a convlval

Prrfamra Were Popular.
The rage tor perfumes reached Its
height during the reign of I.ouis XV.
Throughout the continent bis court was
known ns the "scented court." It was
then the custom vvlicu giving a large
entertainment for the hostess to Inform
her guests what particular odor she
would use for perfuming her rooms,
and each guest would use that odor in
making her toilet. At court a different
perfume was used for each day of the
week. Much more atteutloa was paid
to the use of the perfume tbnn to soap
and water, and c-lcanliuess was not
numbered among the virtues of that
age.

Superstitions About Sneestng.
Xenophon. Promotheus. Themlstocles
and Cicero regarded a sneeze as a fa
vorable omen. Among the Hindoos and
Persians, however, sneezing and yawn
ing were ascribed to demoniacal pos
session. The Hindoo snaps bis thumb
and finger and repeats the uame of one
of his gods. The Moslems believe that
the devil may leap Into a gaping mouth,
and bonce when he yawns he draws
the hack of his band over his mouth
and mutters this prayer. “I seek refuge
with Allah from satsn. the accursed.”
An EngrttA Country Dunk.
Rural customers uttacli great Im
portance to the bank's outward ap
pearance. A thrifty tradesman having
opened a deposit account with a hank
distant some 30 miles from his home,
the cashier had the curiosity to usk
why he traveled so far when there wns
a branch of the same 1 bank almost at
Uls door. The depositor smiled know
ingly and replied. "1 lodged opposite
here all the time while this hank was
being built, so I know it’s safe.” Bal
ance sheets to the rustic are a mean
ingless and arbitrary arrangement of
figures. Iron bars he understands.
In a northern city there Is a bank

Its doors. Designed by nn eminent

er they were unveiled nn old man who
had been a depositor for many years
withdrew his balance and took It to a
rival bank almost opposite. Question
ed as to his reason for changing, he
replied: "1 don't hold \vT them doors of

Tbe Boat Bxpeuslre Hat.
The most expensive hat In the world
Is undoubtedly tbe one which was pre
sented to General Grant while be was
in Mexico In 1832. It cost $1,500 and Is
now to be seen lu the Nations I museum
at Washington nnd Is the finest speci
men of a Mexican sombrero ever made.
A Dickens Utter,
George Manvllle Fenn is the pos
sessor of a sheet of old fashioned blue
wire woven note paper, which had Its
habitation for years upon the bill file
of the tradesman to whom It was sent.
It tells Its own tale:
“Mr. Charles Dickons Is much obliged
to Mr. Clnrldge for the offer of Lord
Byron’s flute. But. ns Mr. Dickens
cannot play that Instrument himself
nnd has nobody lu h!s house who can.
he begs to decline the purchase, with
thanks. Devonshire Terrace, twen
tieth June, 1S-IS."
There Is no visible mark of a smile
upon tjie paper, says Mr. Fenn. but
there seems to be one playing among
the words, and one cannot help think
ing that when Dickens wrote that he
could not play the flute he must have
recalled a certain flute serenade played
at “Mrs. Todgcrs’ Commercial Board
ing House." written by him In 1844.—
New York Tribune.
Odc Hundred a Good Huy.
The manufacturer aDd the doctor
were having a quiet little scjike. A
middle aged man sauntered In. spoke
genially to both gentlemen and passed
on.
“Doc. who was that?”
“Why. that was James Brown of”—
"Do you know," thef manufacturer
tald by way of reply, “I meet men,
scores of them. Just like that every day
j whose names I can't recall?"
| With Just a shado of superior ability
: the doctor replied, “Well now. among
I all the men and women I know I call
] most all by name as I greet them.
II tell yon It’s a trick of the profession."
| “That may be, doe—but I doubt If
you can write down in fifteen minutes
! 100 names of people you know per
sonally.”
| The doctor Jumped to his feet and
said, scornfully. "Jingoes! I con."
i "All right I’ll bet a box of cigars on
It”
I The doctor, pencil In hand, was soon
hard nt work. "Time!” Tbe manufac
turer’s wntch snapped shut and os he
looked over tbe doctor’s shoulder he
j counted 03.
I They finished their cfgars tn silence—
i but tbe next morning tbe manufactur
er s friends chuckled audibly over the
doctor's professional knowledge of op-
oiled psychology.—Milwaukee Sentinel
