y If anyone wishes to be helped in a. Latin lesson, do not translate it for him, but show him how to get it him- self-that is kindness. C, E. I think a good illustration of kind, ness would be, when mother is very busy with other things, not to askher to pack your books or prepare your lunch. A. J. When a pupil is reciting, to refrain from prompting or disturbing him in any way is what I call kindness. “The second point-and I want you to listen to this-is that more wo- men are injured than men. I was talking with an insurance man about this, and he admitted that there are more men in the aggregate than there are women. 'But,' he said, 'women are so much more liable to injury.' "I just stared at him. " 'You see,' he went on, 'if a car comes along, I jump right on, while a woman stands on the corner and just waves he umbrella. " 'Yes,' 1 said. ‘You try to jump on the car, and you slip and go under the wheels. The woman stays in safe- ty on the sidewalk, waves her: umbrel- la wildly and puts out, some man's eye with it. The men both get ever so many dollars aweek. The only person unhurt is the woman on whom the company declines to take risks.7 IN hen in a class there is a chance to prompt a. pupil, and mat chance is mot taken up, we may call it an act of kind- ness, because thereby this pupil reeit- ing is not helped to the habit of de- pendenco upon others. C. R. The other day I saw well dressed gentlemen carry a great basket for a feeble old woman, This I call kind- ness. E. B. A pupil who helps a weaker compan- ion, whom all the rest of the class shun perhaps on account of dress, is kind. "Pslraw 1” and the lady looked tri- umphantly at her: hearers, who agreed to a woman that she was right-New York Sun. "etiotio" orKiridaeqs Givett by Some Pup. lis ora High School in a Western City. When a. pupil sees that her teacher has a great deal of work to finish in a limited time, and then behaves as well as she, can, so as not to attract the teachers attention, this is a. kindness. An aged man attempting to cross a street hesitated, because of the many cars and wagons coming and going. A very pretty little girl came along, and kindly taking his wrinkled band, led him to the opposite side of the street, That I call kindness. G, K. If acertain scholar at school is not very bright, and cannot get along well, and another scholar takes her must" explam her geometry to her, than .5 what I think can be called a case of kindness. A, Fl, "But it isn't so. Any: man is eligi- ble even if he never earned a cent and never will. Then, too, it certainly ought to be the Case that a woman who does earn her livmg could have the same protection against the loss of an income because of accident as a man. But no ! She may earn thousands of dollars a year, but she is a woman, and therefore presumably not self support- mg. "Two points are advanced in expla- nation of this course. In the tirst place, it is presumed that accident in, surance is only for people who are deprived of a. whole or a part of their income because of injury receieed, and it is also presumed that women are not self supporting and that their in- come is not affected if they are hurt. This would imply that no one who is not a money earner would be eligible to weekly payments in case of injury. tinted for work. "Does she receive the stipulated weekly sum scheduled as the payment for her: particular injury 'l "Not a bit of it. . "It she had been killed, her surviv- ing, heirs would have been profited to the extent of the policy, but so long as the breath of life/ can be kept in the mutilated body the woman herself gets nothing, an insurance policy against accident. And suppose still further that she is in some kind of a. dvsastev, has a log brok- en and is thus disabled and inbupuci “I wonder,” she said, "if it will sur- prise you as much as it did me to find that women are only partially eligible to benefit by an accident insurance policy. "A woman may take out such a pul- iey--iu fact, she needs only to hint that she medicates such an act to be flooded with circulars and besieged by agents. "But the rules of the companies in regard to a woman are fem-fully and wonderfully constructed. Suppose that a woman-one of the army ot' self-supporting women who earn their darly bread and in many (uses that of their famrlies-sueh a woman to have ACCIDENT INSURANCE _ FOR WOMEN. ed, in its unpleasant," popular accept- ation, was talking to some friends the other day. _ .. . ., H.” -.

Many'annoyauces which arise from misunderstandings created by the wrong delivery of verbal messages would be obviated if the sender of the message would write a few lines. Learn to make use of your pen. It is always dangerous to send any message what- ever by the mouth of the messenger, particularly so if the communication include more than a single idea. If the message extends to three sentences it is a thousand chances to one that it is not delivered correctly. The bearer, through his anxiety to be useful, or his stupidity either tells too much, or too little, or by his tone of language gives quite a different signiheation to the message. The lack of a little attention in a matter of this nature often leads to serious confusion. The way to avoid such troubles is to write a note; the writing of a line or two will. be 'sufficient to make matters clear. A "_'cotch Calvinist Grace. Haud still a wee-We're aye gawn an' we’re aye gettin', never’less we’re "The pr1ce is as low as it was possible to make it , the work has been very troublesome, and required far more time than I imagined it would; no body could have done it cheaper, and I am sorry I cannot make any reduc- tion." Under these circumstances the account must be settled at once, or a ligitation fotlows The number of per- sonal disagreements and law suits which occur. in this manner is beyond calculation. We say, therefore, take particular care in making bargains to leave nothing in doubt. Let the terms be in writing, and on no account allow yourself to be imposed upon by such a silly delusion as, "Never mind-we'll not disagree about it." It is always best not to take any- thing for granted in cases of bargain- making. When you make a bargain with anyone in a trade, or with any- one else, no matter with whom, it is well to have an agreement in writing, and not to leave anything in doubt or for future arrangement. How often does a person say, "Well, I suppose you will do the job for so-and-so," men- tioning the sum. "Oh, as for that," replies the person addressed, "I cannot exactly tell, but it is of no consequence; never' mind the price, we'll not disagree about it." And upon these ambiguous terms the bargain is concluded. The day of settlement comes, and lo! the charge is nearly double what was expected. Remonstrance ensues, but it is of no use; the answer only IS '. "From the report of the commission that has been investigating the affairs of the Guelph Model Farm it is clear .th..t the statl'nnd students constituted lanytlnng but u. happy family. Nearly ‘everybudy about the place was, if the loommissioners are correct, conspiring against somebody else, The root of the trouble is alleged to be that Prof. Shaw desired to get C(mtrul of the in- stitution free from responsibility to wards the president or the Government. For this purpose he Was poisoning the minds of everybody against the presi- dent. The late resideni master, Mr. E L. Hunt, also had a knife whetted for Dr, Mills because of the dismissal of the matron. A number of the students who had been rebuked by the president went around by way of revenge breath- ing slanders against him. The assis- tant chemist, who was in league with Prof. Shaw, directed his guns chiefly against the assistant resident master. The farm foreman made it his business to foment discontent among the stud- ents while they were in the tieid. The herdsinan, who took sides with the pre- sident, was severely punished by Prof. Shaw for doing so. Indeed, he was given an assistant; who was utterly helpless among the herd by reason of his abject fear of bulls. Under these circumstances the commissioners were quite justiiied in determining that there was a lack of harmony. That puts it very mildly. The institution was ina state of mutiny, and but for the timely intervention of the Govern- ment, strangely enough, at the instance of Prof. Shaw. it would have been nec- estary to call out the militia." us from making the mistakes or faults of others a. source of amusement or criticism.

One way to make times hard, cause distress, and to make people panicky, is for those who are able to pay their debts to withhold sums due to laborer, butcher, baker and professional men. Money locked up and out of circula- tion is of no benefit to any one. A hundred dollars paid to laborers may settle a hundred claims within a week. Keep the money moving. Pay your little bills, and thus help to keep the "circulation" up. Locking money up is like taking the blood from the hum- an body- -it weakens the man and causes him to totter. Besides people always have a good word for a man who pays promptly. A Brief Chapter on Girls. The girl' of sixteen who will neither sew nor do housework has no business to be decked out in finery and ramb- ling about in search of fun and frolic unless her parents are rich, and in that event she needs this watchful direction of a good mother none the less. There is no objection to fun, but it should be well rehosen and Ewell gtinedi No woman or girl who will not workhas a right to share a poor man's toil. If she does work, if she makes the clothes she wears, and assists in the household duties, the chances are she will have enough self respect to behave when playtime comes; but if she she should still be a little "wild" the honest toil she has done will confer upon her some degree of right to have her. own way, ill-judged though it may be. The wild girl usually aspires to prominence in some social circle or other, and her manners and conduct are in greater or less degree designed to attract the fol- lowing of men. She should remember that followers are not always admirers and that the most sincere admiration a man ever feels for a woman in a draw- lng-room is when he looks upon her and says m his own consciousnes, "She is a perfect lady." An Unhappy Mun. Harkins found Snooper standing at the door of a large dry goods store the other day with a deep scowl on his face. 'That's just the trouble. She went in for a moment to get a paper of pins or some other inexpensive purchases. Now it's going to rain for an hour or two, and she'll stay there till its over.' 'Well, what of it , 'What of it? It's easy to see you’re not a. married man. Why, my dear sir, she'll overhaul the entire stock in the store, and goodness only knows what she won't buy. Great Scott, man this rainstorm wid cost me $50 at the very least! V 'Whae's the matter. Snooper? Confound this ram !' . ‘It won't hurt you, Run for a ear.'
