'~ BACHELOR’S WALK. | Fow iolly 1t was when the summer was high, And the moon-silvered nights saw no cloud in | thesky, 3 { ‘Ta #loll with my friends for 4 smoke or a talk “Neath the breeze-rustling .boughs along Bach- ~ elor's Walk! & .

Plarg is the bough and bereft is the|stalk; “¥is time that I hied me from Bachlplor’s Walk! ‘ —Bissell Clinton, in Harper's Bazar. - — AMUSING ANSWPRS. & Collection of Odd Thipg's from l Children. | : Which Illustrates What Queller' Notions They Soinetimes Form of| Simple | Things About 'Which |They Should Be Better Inforn;ied. Ha - An examiner in elementary schools often hears many amusing dnswers in reply to his questions. Thelfollowing are examples of written composition from children in the upper standards. It must nor be assumed, however, tha} in giving these quaint specimens, any slur is being cast upen the general character of the work in elementary schiools; these are taken from many thousands of papers, a great number of which are of undoubted excellence, and it often happens that where the majority of the pupils in a class acquit themselves satisfactorily, one child will be found who is quite ‘‘at sea.”

H;are is a description of a plum-pud-ding by a boy whose knowledge is evidently theoretical, and, like his pudding, somewhat mixed: ‘When they have put all these in, they make it into a batter and then mix it up; and when they have finished battering it, they put it on the fire for about an hour and a half, to get it to be enough, so that it will be better to eat and softer to chew.”’

From cooking we come to - natural history, and have the following: “Guinea-pigs are very pretty little creatures, and people generally” have thern as a joint for dinner.” The guineapig and the sucking-pig were evidently one and the same in the mind of this ingenuous youth. =

Here is another in the same depart- 'i ment of learning: ‘‘Bees live chiefly on worms and snakes, and are search- ~ ing for them nearly every hour of the ‘ day. DBesides this they also live on ‘ little insects, which when they are not 80 Wery busy, they go down into the ground and have a very nice feast. It is very pleasant indeed in the summer time to watch them making their hive and weaving their honey.” A pupil was asked to name and deseribe four kinds of fruit, with this result: “The four kinds is apples, pears, rubub and carrots and many others.” He was a town boy, whose garden of nature was evidently a greengrocer’s cart. : ‘ e ‘Here is somelight on another branch of knowledge: ‘Whale shipsare large, and have an hold in which a lubber is stored.” Seamen will agree that the hold is the best place for the lubber. The following on ‘feathers” was verysdifficult to interpret, but at last it proved that the writer had mistaken features for feathers: ¢l'he feathers ol any thing is the looking of you; some meople have diseases and cause them to ‘have an unpleasant/ look. Sometimes when people go to apply for a situation ~they don’t get it owing to their feathers ~and bad faces; the master who they ask cgenerally says that he takes beer and | won’t do for a job of that kind. People who is not ill so much generally has good feathers, they are obtained from keoping yourself clean.” : ' H)r, Charles Wilson, in. his general ‘Ropart on the Scottish Training Colleges, gives several ' curious sanswers "wiich have been received from candidates and pupil-teachers. A young lady bnswering a question on insurance, wrgte: “The money is provided by the ()orix]fmny to defray the expenses of the birth of members in pecuniary distress,” © A second demoiselle in commeuting upon the proverb, *Penny wise and pound foolish,” wrote in a mathematical sort of way, and it is| fearcd with some degree of misanthropy: ‘“Lhis proverb clBarly shows that for every wise and good 'aetion a imen foes, he will commit two hundred sand forty foolish bad ones.” One pupil brought Julius Czesar be“fore the public in the light of a won+derful inventor: ¢Julius Cwmsar in‘vented Great Britain, 55 B. ¢."-—by writing that, a suspicion exists that «copying % still in vogue. What a dis- . aster a s'ngle mistaken letter occasions. “fo the young plagiarist! “Ethelred “the }.X nready was called that because he '\&as never ready for the Danes. He “used to entice themaway from England by Ijj:i’,deing thhm, but they used to | - come again and demand a larger . Jbride.” ' R : [’oq‘j}r William Rufus’ end was sadder fthan we wist, if we are to believe a youth, who says that “William Rufus _iwas gorged to death by a stag in the -tforest his father had made to hunt the «deer.” Another writes; “‘Prince William was drowned in a butt of Malmsey “wine; he never laughed again.”’—A "mmalﬁ‘biogmpher of the Maid of OrJeans writes: “Joan of Arc was the -daughter of a French rustic pheasant “which lived in the forest.. ..Bhe did "ot ke to leave her pheasant home, but ‘ or awhile I'lhé?':’v;ent &wayl,i.”;' ~ *ln the rainy season,” said a little peda &h:’mnmmm“ amimated with torrents of luxuriant _ homors of boys, an oral question and answer may bo given. *Whatdo e m ik o & oy, roplled: “The regio where . ﬁ,zw%%g%%%ﬁ;@ﬁ’% R s L R ~'.\f:‘-« 3 s ~‘°‘“f’:“3’€"s*’:§: f:' o

in ‘‘explaining” the origin of a draught, says: ‘A draught'would be felt near the. broken window of a warm room, because if you stood near it, you would feel it.”’—A boy, who appeared to be= lieve friction as something tangible, perhaps. a sort of newfangled firelighter, scribbled: “Friction is caused by the rubbing together of two sticks; il; is very useful if you have not any matches.” —What is a member?” asked an official. ‘“A man on the School Board,” was the answer.—A surname was thought to mean *‘the name of a person you say sir to.’! In”giving the names of the ten plagues, a respondent unduly enlarged the fourth, “Plague of flies, beetles and moskeeters;’’ whilst the murrain among beasts was written by another, “Miriam among beasts.”’ ; The following two were lately recorded in the Schoolmaster. A class had been asked to use the word dozen in a senténce of their own construction. One of the answers ran: ‘‘l dozen know what to do.””—‘‘Stability”’ was ingeniously defined, perhaps by an unstable mamory, as being ‘‘the cleaning-up of a stable.” )

As the science subjects of Physiology and Hygiene are making rapid strides in the elementary schools of this country, the following answers will illustrate to some extent the cramming system prevalent in these subjects. Here is what a young physiologist says: ‘The food is nourished in the stomach. If you were to eat any thing hard, you would not be able to digest it, and in consequence you would have what is called indigestion. Food is digested by the lungs; digestion is brought on by the lungs having something the matter with them. The food then passes through your windpipe to the pores, and then passes off your body by evaporation, through a lot of holes in your skin, called capillaries. The gall bladder throws off juice from the food, which passes through it. We call the kidneys the bread-basket, because it is where all the bread goes to. They lay up con‘cealed by the heart.” : : "In reply to a question, “Why do we cook our food?” one child replied: “There are five ways of cooking potatoes. We should die if we eat our food roar.” A second pupil wrote: ¢Food digested is when we put it into our mouths, our teeth chews it, and our mouth drops it down into our body. We should not eat so much bone making food as flesh making and warmth giving foeds, for, if we did, we should have too many bones, and that would make us look funny.” e Dealing with ventilation, one stu‘dent informs us that ‘“the thermometer is an instrument used to let out the heat when it is going to be cold.’ Another writes, that a room should be kept at ninety in the winter by the fire, and in-summer by a thermometer. A girl remarks: ‘¢ When roasting a piece of meat, put it in front of a brisk fire, so as to congratulate it.”” Here is a very learned reply: ‘‘Sugar is an amyloid; if you was to eat much sugar and nothing else, you would not live, because sugar has not got no carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Potatoes is another amyloids.” In answer to the question, “Mention any occupations that are injurious to health?”’ one reply was: ‘‘Occupations which are injurious to health are carbonic acid gas, which is impure blood.” Another says: ‘‘A stone-mason’s work is injurious, because when he is chip- 1 ping he breathes in all the little chips, and they are taken into the lungs.” A third says: ‘A bootmaker’s trade is}l very injurious, because they press the boots against the thorax, and therefore 1 it presses the thorax in, and it touches | the heart, and if they do not die they are cripples for life.” ' * In reply toa question on digestion, one child wrote: ‘The food is swallowed by the windpipe, and the chyle passes up the middle of the backbone, | and reaches the heart, when it meets with oxygen and is purified.” Another . wrote: . .Ve should never eat fat, because the food does not digest.” A | third says: ‘The work of the heart is | to repair the different organs, in about | half a minute.”” A fourth child says: “We have an upper and a lower skin; the lower skin moves at its will; and | the upper skin moves when we d_o.”i A Fifth Standard child says: “The‘ heart is a comical shaped bag.” Another in that class writes: The ‘“‘upper skin is called eppederby, and the lower is called derby.” While a third, giving the organs of digestion, writes, stomach; utensils [intestines], liver and spleen.—Chamber’s Journal. CHINESE MEDICINES. The Efficacy of PmFo_us Stones in Curing Desperate Diseases, The medical art in China is mysterious and. empirical. The medical profession is regulated by rules almost the opposite of those which prevail in | England. lln China the doctor re- 1 ceives a fixed salary as long as his patient is in good health. If the patient falls ill the doctor's pay is stopped until a cure is effected. In England a sick person usually tries to agsist the doctor by explaining the symptoms of his case. In China this would be considered an insult to the doctor. The doctor may feel the patient's pulse, examine his- skin and look at his tongue; but he may ask no questions. He is then expected to diagnose the disease from which the man is ailing and to prescribe a remedy. The medicine prescribed is usually cheap and very, nasty; but some drugs are high priced; and there are certain precious stores which are ‘believed to be of wonderful efficacy in curing diseases. Ondolfthmamﬂsive prescriptions cﬂ%ﬂﬂﬁf _very costly ingredients. ~White and red poral, ribloe oe iadinth, pesiilemen: alds, musk, with one or A .w::em%m. special - quantities, are 'crushed into ‘powder, rolled into pills with gum and. rose water, and coated with gold leaf.

FARM AND FIRESIDE. ‘ —A wash of chlorate of potash dissolved in cider vinegar is excellent for canker and ulcerated sores. It should be carefully applied to be effective. ; —There are too many farms where the soil is abundantly productive, and the fields and granaries filled with abundant harvests, while the home is a desert.—lowa State Register. —Practically, drugs and nostrums so freely used by farmers amount to nothing except a bill of expense. A drug sufficiently strong to destroy cholera germs may reduce the hog to such a low physical condition that it will cost more than he is worth to fatten him.

—Don’t send dirty eggs te market, in fact, don’t have dirty eggs, and you will not if your nests have been properly looked after and kept clean. Still, if you have neglected this, wash the soiled eggs when you collect them. It will pay i€ you send them to market. —Lemon Drop Biscuits: Beat ‘eight eggs with a pound of powdered sugar for ten minutes with an egg beater, or. fifteen minutes by hand, then add gradually a pound and a quarter of flour and the grated peel of a lemon, with the juice of half of it. Drop the size of a dollar on buttered paper.— Good Housekeeping. :

—lt may require several years to derive the largest profit from a farm. Farming is slow business, and although the work is supposed to extend over one entire year, yet a whole year’s work may be but a beginning. A colt or a calf requires several years to mature, and pastures do not pay for several years from seeding. ~ —Wet places around the cattle and hog troughs soon becomie very muddy, and in winter the troughs are at times almost inaccessible to the animals, as they are liable to become mired. In such cases it is best to remove the mud and cover the groud around the trough with gravel, raising it high enough to allow all surplus water to drain off. . —A dainty and inviting dish is made in this wise: Soak ome spoonful of gelatin in half a cup of water an hour, add two spoonfuls of sugar, and dissolve over the fire. When nearly cold and stiff beat in the frothed white of an egg, the juice of half a lemon and of one large orange. Beat well and cool in cups. Make the day before wanted. —The largest, best and smoothest potatoes should be selected for seed. “Like produces like,” and this rule holds good with potatoes more so than with many other crops. The bin should be examined ocoasionally in order to observe if the potatoes are keeping well, and it will pay to assort the~tubers for the purpose of selecting thmed. If this plan is pursued the quality of the crop will be improved each year. Ao

—Meat Scallop: Take cracker crumbs, macaroni, cold meat, the gravy of the meat or soup stock. Boil the macaroni until soft and put a-little cold water on it to prevent it from sticking together. Cover the bottom of a deep dish with the ecrumbs, then a layer of meat cut in small pieces, seasoned with saltand pepper, alayer of macaroni, a layer of crumbs and meat, and so on“until the dish is filled, having the crumbs come last. Pour over all the gravy and bake one hour.

SECURE GOOD SEEDS.

1f You Neglect to Do So, Y ou. Need Not i Expect Profitable Crops. It is folly to expect that the corn at harvest will be better than the seed that was put:into the ground at the i planting. It is a waste of labor and i manure to expend them on poor seeds. { Farmers do not give this matter of | seeds sufficient thought and study. There are some seeds, if he will take proper care, that the farmer ean properly raise himself, while others can wE better raised by the seedsmen. One of l the most important differences between | the seeds raised by the skilled seed- . grower and the ordinary farmer is . this: The former carefully ‘‘rogues” ‘5 the crop. Suppose both are raising | dwarf peas of some kind for seed. The { farmer will take a picking or two for ’ his table, ‘‘just to try,’’ thus removing i all the early seeds; the seed-grower ! will allow none to be taken and he will also ‘*rogue’’ the crop, which means ] th@t'he will go along the rows and if | there is a plant disposed to run up and | be no longer dwarf that plant is pulled up and thrown out as a ‘‘rogue.” If a plant shows a difference in the color of the flowers, in #he size, shape and abundance of the crop, or presents any other marked peculiarities that show it to be different from the average of the crop, those plants are regarded as rogues and treated as such. If his Indian corn at harvest shows that it is mixed—that some of the grains on an ear are of the wrong color—the farmer wonders how this can be, as he planted ' but one kind of corn. He forgets that ' his neighbor has a fleld of different icorn from his and that the rail fence { will not prevent the wind from floating _or bar insects from bringing the stray pollen which has caused the “‘mixing.’” Do not think that selecting ears which show no admixture will answer as well for seefl. If a crossing has taken place, with results that you can see, there will doubtless be a mixing in other respects, such as earliness, number of ears on' a stock, or number of ‘ rows to the ear, which may be equally important, but will only be manifested in next year’s crop. If you have a select and favorable variety of corn *which it is desired to keep pure; and there is danger that it may be mixed ‘with pollen from a neighbor's field, it ~will be well to plant a patch exclusively for seed in seme locality as far ' as possible from the neighbor’s field. It the planting of this corn for seed be delayed a few days the corn will not be. | “in silk” until the other from which - danger is feared has shed all its polien.” ~ Money expended in securing a stock { of pure seeds in place of those of | doubtful quality is well invested alwwg h““’ isdom ﬁ“m&'m m&‘] ‘until harvest.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 28. —SHNATE. —Just after the Senaté adjourned this evening, and before all the Republican members had left the Chamber, the Democrats took possession, called the body to order, and elected Senator Burke President pro. tem.- The Republicans are very indigmant overthis action, and the talk of resignation has been renewed. There are yet a dozen or more bills pending in the General Assembly, but it is hardly possible that any of them will become laws, owing to the limited time in which the Legislature will be in session. House—Mr. Linck ‘was suspended and fined $l5O for his assault upon Representative Willard. Bills passed: Appropriating: $20,(00 to pay a deficiency caused by the defalcation of the warden of the Southern prison, and $15,000 for improvements: increasing the homestead exemption from $6OO to $1,000; reducing the rate of imterest on the school fiind; authorizing county eommissioners to appropriate money for the establishment of homes for indigent old women.

-, THE CHILD-LIKE SPIRIT. : International Sunday-School Lesson for i March 10, 1889, ¥ t {Specially arranged from S. S. Quarterly.] | "“LrssoN TexrT—Mark 9:33-42. i . GorLpEN TEXT—Whosoever shall not reeeive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.—Mark 10:15. CENTRAL TRUTE—OnIy in the child-like spirit can we enter the Kingdom of Heaven. TiMe—Autumn A.D. 29, A few weeks after thelast lesson. Prace — Capernaum; probably in the house of Peter. . PARALLEL AccouNnTs—Matt. 18:1-7; Luke 9:46-51. 0t INTRODUCTION—One week after our last lesson Jesus was transfigured, probably on Mt. Hermon, near Cesarea Philippi. Coming down He healed a demoniac child; then they crossed the Jordan near its source, and, entering Galilee from the north, journeyed slowly toward Capernaum. On this journey, probably just before reaching Capernaum, occurred the dispute referred to in the lesson. - HELPS OVER HARD PLACES—33. And He came to Capernaum: His Galilean home. Here the temple tax was demanded, and Peter obtained the money froma fish (Matt. 17:24-27). 34. Held their peace: from shame.

ORIGIN OF THE DIsPuTE—It may have arisen (1) from the fact that three of their number had been selected by Jesus for His companions on.the mount; (2) the keys had been given to Peter, and he was to bea foundation-stone of the kingdom (Matt. 16:18, 19); (3) Judas, as the treasurer, may have had special ambitions, as he thought of being chief of the treasury .of the Messiah king; (4) those who had received special favors may have usurped some authority, or assumed a dictatorial spirit which would naturally be resented by the others. 86. Took a child: as an acted parable, showing that they should have the love, the trust, the simple, unambitious feelings of a child. 37. Whosoever shall receive one of such children: shall love him, care for him, imbibe his spirit. Receiveth ms: has My spirit, is ilke Me: and his kindness to the child for'Christ’s sake will be accepted as if done to Himself.

TaRE CHILD-LIKE SPIRIT—Not sinlessness; for no children are sinless. Those qualities which are characteristic of childhood, Whi%}: make the ideal childhood. As Dr. 'Robihson puts it, ‘What you would have your child be to you, that be yourself to Bod.” These qualities are: (1) humility; (2) freedom from ambition, rivalry, or Jjealousy; (3) tender and gracious affection; i(4) perfect trust; (5) obedience; (6) a teachable spirit; (7) - unworldliness; (8) indifference to the distinctions of rank and wealth. 388. And John answered Him: i.e., ‘his question was suggested by what Jesus had said. Did this man we saw receive ;rou? Did he have the child-like spirit? He followeth notus: he did the work really and in Christ’s name, but he did not join thw apostles. 89. Forbid him not: do not interfere. Let each one work in his own way. 40. He that is not against us: see also Matt. i12:30. Every one is on one side or the other. !There is no neutrality. 41. A cup of water: 4he smallestand simplest gift. He shall not lose his reward: he shall be treated as if he had done the kindness to Jesus Himself i(Matt. 25:40). ; ' Nore (1) that the essential elemeng 'which is rewarded is the love of Christ and devotion to Him. (2) What a splendid opportunity opens here for us todo that to which our hearts often prompt us, some “act of personal devotion and love to Jesus. 'We would express our gratitude to Him personally. (3) This direct and personal service of Jesus: tends to transfigure all our daily lives with the radiance of Heaven. 42. Shall offend: cause to stumble, lead into sin. It s better for him: no earthly lossis 50 great an evil as this sin. . CoMMmENTS—See how Jesus instructed the disciples with regard to the way of entering the kingdom of God. They needed this teaching, for they were all the time taking it for granted, not only that they were sure of admission, but that they would ocicupy prominent positions there. Their eyes must have expressed great astonishment ‘when He assured them that unless they became truly humble in spirit they would mnever so much as enter the kingdom, much less occupy any lofty place there. With one sentence He upset all their ideas of merit and established a new basis of valuation. Not by self-seeking, but by self-de-nial; not by pride, bat by humility; not by being served, but rendering service to others, would they be fitted for that kingdom. In uttering this truth the Saviour was indeed setting forth a ‘‘ hard saying,” for the very last thing that men naturally love is humility. To find a truly humble man or woman is harder than to find a black diamond. Pride, under the most specious forms, finds only too ready admitfance into our hearts. 1t manifestsitself in wvarious and very horrible ways. Pride of dress, pride of appearanee, pride of manners, } jpride of position in society, pride of ancestry, pride of wealth, pride of intellectual attainments, pride of accomplishments, pride of influence, pride of hoaesty, pride of truthfulness, pride of religious form, pride of mock humility. The catalogue might be endlessly drawn out. Notice for a moment into what utterly incongruous places this pride intrudes itself. At the very communion table the apostles were stumbled by their pride (Luke 22: 24-30), and to-day many a proud minister in chureh offices may be found officiating at the Lord’'s supper. Pride is also a guest at funerals, even the mourners welcoming him and being stum-~ bled by his Satanic suggestions. In revival services pride is never wanting, and among successful inquiry-room workers hie strives hard to be a guest:. Our holiest things are often made unholy with this evil pride, ‘which will never be shamefaced enough to take nay for an -answer.—Rev. A. F. Schauffler. * _ ; : . PRACTICAL SUGGESTIQNS. ; . 1. The desire to be greater than others arises from selfishness, and leads to quarjrels and bitter feelings. . 2. Man’s way to be great: is by ruling .others. God’s way to be great is by serv-ling-others. - 8. We should be like a. child, in trusting 'God, in humility, in.ebedience, in love, in ‘unworldliness, in teachableness. . ;* 4. Beware of the intolerant spirit. . i 5, Neutrality 1s impossible. We must be {on one side or the other. : i = 6. Jesus never forgets the humblest serv‘ice done in His name.. Aol

. THE world knows: no victory to be com~ ipared with the victory ower our own pastsions and failings.. i
