In Egypt the custom is for Princesses
to hide their beauty by covering
the lower part of the face with a veil.
In America the beauty of many of
our women is hidden because of the
weakness and
sickness pecu
liar to the sex.
If the Egypt
ian custom pre
vailed in this
country , many
sufferers would
I
be glad to
I cover their
premature
wrinkles , their
sunkencheeks ,
their unnealthy
complexion , from the eyes of the
world with the veil of the Orient.

The December magazines teem with
good things for teachers : "The Art of
Seeing Things , " by John Burroughs in
the Century ; one in the Cosmopolitan on
"The Child Raised at Home , " which
contains many hints ; and "The School
City , " by Albert Shaw in the Review of
Reviews. In John Burrough's article
the device mentioned in my last , for the
cultivation of attention and memory is
recommendedand credit given to n well
known primary teacher as the originator.
I was not aware it had ever been given
in any teacher's manual , but am glad to
find myself in such worthy company as
this lady and John Burroughs , and will
say that I have used it for many years
with gratifying results.
We often have among our pupils many
who see without being conscious , and
others who hear without hearing. Ask
your pupils , some morning , what they
saw on the way to school , without hav
ing asked them beforehand. One will
have seen many things the sky with its
strange clouds ; the trees and the distinct
foliage of each ; the "grass ; the flowers ;
the fields ; the animals ; the pebbles by
the brook ; and if snow covered the
ground , this one will have noted the
tracks of birds and animals and can tell
what they were ; another will have seen
some of these , but not all , while still an
other will have seen absolutely nothing.
Sometimes we flatter ourselves that the
latter lives in a world of his imagination ,
that later he may develop into an in
ventor , or writer , or philosopher. Once
in a while this may be true , but oftener
we find that he has let his imagination
run riot , and that the world in which he
lives is simply a castle in Spain , which
will eventual ' vanish into thin air with
out result. He has had , to begin with ,
a good stock of imagination which has
been over-stimulated by too many fairy
tales and adventures until his greatest
pleasure is to imagine himself a prince
with an Alladin's lamp which will bring
to him wealth and fame without effort
on his part. He sees without seeing.
He is the pupil who gives no trouble in
school. He simply sits and dreams , and
xvhen recalled to his duties , will reluc
tantly come back to earth , only to wan
der away at the first opportunity. He
needs more attention than the worst of
all the wigglers , who annoys one so
much. In him must be cultivated the
.art of seeing and knowing ( I like John
Burroughs' expression , "The art of see
ing , " ) and consequently have adopted
it. He must be shown that nature can
present to his vision more wonders , and
greater , that Alladin's lamp or Arabian
Nights. The growth and development
of a single plant , or the habits of the
tiniest insect , may serve to open his
eyes to more wonderful things than the
most daring fancy which the human
mind has pictured.
A dozen noisy , wide-awake youngsters
present less of a problem to the young
teacher than does this one dreamer , but
he can be awakened , and this very char
acteristic of imagination may be made
an ally , if the teaching is made to fit
bis quality of mind.
It has been truly said , "That not every
scholar is a teacher , but every teacher
must be a scholar. " By this we mean ,
that he must have the spirit which is
not only concerned in the accumulation
of facts , but also in the intelligent use
of those facts already learned.
Every teacher must be able to impart
his knowledge in a clear , concise and
interesting way. He must constantly
seek to know more , to expand himself ,
that he may be able to aid the expansion
of the minds in bis charge. If he con
fines himself to the little he already
knows , and never goes outside the four
walls of his school-room , or the covers
of the text-book , he must become nar
row , petty and nagging ,
Attention belongs as well to learning
as to seeing , and must be as assiduously
cultivated in one direction as in the
other , for by hearing we learn of what
we cannot see. "Read and you will
know , " might be translated also , "Hear
and you will know , " for you may read
and listen forever without concentrated
attention and you will never know. A
class should be so interested that a fact
-need not be repeated , after the pupils
have been a short time under a teacher's
care. This state of affairs is neither im
possible nor difficult , if the teacher has
properly prepared himself and can im
part his knowledge. He must be alert
and enthusiastic.
Another most important point is the
cultivation of the art of doing ( to carry
Mr. Burroughs' idea a little further. )
From the very first day , the pupil must
be taught to do , and to do willingly be
cause be likes to do. Encourage him at
every step , from the writing of the first
word he has learned , to the last lesson
in the term. Do not encourage in him
the spirit of emulation , with the idea of
outstripping others , but because he
should wish the best for himself , and
should be satisfied with nothing less. If
the best is impossible for him , then let
it be His best , and not to be compared
with others of different mental calibre.

THE TRIBUNE , McCook , Neb.
A Story of John Morrlniicy.
Henry L. Duwus of PittsOcld , Mass. ,
successor of Charles Stunner In the
senate , told the following story :
' 'When I was n Judge In LMttsflcld ,
Morrlssey and Yankee Sullivan fought
a prize fight at a neighboring place
called Boston Corners. Sullivan was
arrested and fined $1,000. He handed
over the money and went his way. A
day or two later , while I was sitting on
the bench , a Hue looking man entered
the courtroom and sent a letter up to
me. It was from a friend of mine In
troducing John Morrlssey. He , too.
iwas fined $1.000 and said to me that
fie would send me his check on his re
turn to New York.
"Well. 1 didn't know what might
happen If he was let go on that under
standing , but I said to Morrissey that
any arrangement for settlement which
he made with the sheriff would be sat
isfactory. The sheriff , feeling as I
did , Insisted upon having the tine paid
In cash , and since Morrissey didn't
happen to have that much cash with
him the sheriff locked him up until
the amount was sent on from New
York.
"I fancied that Morrlssey felt he
owed me a grudge because of this In
cident. Years afterward in Washing
ton a number of new congressmen
were brought up to be introduced to
me. Among them was Morrlssey.
When he came forward , he smiled
and said. ' .Mr. Dawes , 1 believe we
have met before. ' "

Some visitors to East Gloucester
paid a special call * upon the woman
said to be the original of Mrs. Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps Ward's famous
story , "A Madonna of the Tubs. " Mrs.
Phelps Ward's summer home , be It
known. Is in East Gloucester. The
visitors found a typical New Enjland-
er with a self evident-capacity for tak
ing care of herself.
"So you are the Madonna of the
Tubs ? " said the visitors.
" 1 am , " said the "New Englander.
"And Airs. Phelps Ward wrote a
beautiful story about you ? "
"She did. "
"Have you ever met Mrs. Ward ? "
" 1 have. After she wrote that story
she came round here one day and hunt
ed me up. She said as how she wanted
to see me for herself. "
"How interesting ! " murmured the
visitors. "And what did you doV"
"Do ? " repeated the Madonna of the
Tubs. "What did 1 do ? 1 sassed her
well for writiu such a story as that
about me. Such a pack of lies I never
read. Why , there wasn't one-half of
it true. And she bad the face to come
and see me afterward ! Ob , 1 sassed
her well , I did ! " New York Sun.

This reminds the Tales of the Town
man of a sign he saw not long ago In
the window of a Broadway saloon :
"A ror ester wit evry Drink. "
Several months ago there was an an
nouncement laboriously chalked on a
St. Clair street sidewalk in front of a
beer refectory which read like this :
"Fre lunge 11 2 2. "
It took the man who saw this some
time to Ogure out that the patron who
didn't drop in between 11 o'clock and
2 o'clock would be very apt to miss the
free lunch. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Needed mi Explanation.
Sir John Adye , who was governor of
Gibraltar fortress , always made him
self closely acquainted with the work
of whatever happened to be his depart
ment. Meeting a person once coming
into the office late , the general asked
him what time he was supposed to been
on duty.
"Oh , " was the reply , "I usually stroll
In about 11 or 12 o'clock. "
"Stroll in ? " said Sir John in a rising
tone. "Then I presume you do not
leave till law ? "
"Well , I usually slip off about 2
o'clock. "
"Slip off at 2 ! " exclaimed the veter
an in his topmost note. "Pray , may 1
ask what department you belong to ? "
"Ob. " said the stranger , " 1 come ev
ery Saturday to attend to the clocks. "
Sir John retreated for the first time In
his life.
A Little Too Hot.
Little Janet , aged 4. noticed the oth
er day at dinner the rest of the family
helping themselves liberally to the
mustard. Nobody ottering her any.
she waited until something drew away
the attention of the others , when she
lifted the mustard spoon , liberally
daubed a piece of bread with it and
took a great bite. Her hand immedi
ately went up to ber burned mouth ;
but. bravely suppressing an outcry , she
put the bread away from her , remark
ing. "I think I'll wait till that jelly gets
cold. "
