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.

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. Bow Peoria Are Sorted.

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 widely known for the artistic merit of Its doors. Designed by nn eminent sculptor, they are executed lu relief In copper or bronze and appear to rep resent tableaux from "AOsop's Fables” and Greek history.

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.
