"That existing methods of educating the young fall short of the ideal there is scarcely any question," writes Edward Bok iu The Ladies' Home Journal. "The most prominent educators of the land admit this fact Every effort is undoubtedly mado to better prevailing systems, lint the fight is single banded. As teacher and educators constantly say: 'We are nloue. Parents give us uo assistance. They do not even give ns the heueflt of ordinary interest. ' And this is trne lamentably true. Parents are nil too lux about the methods pur sued in educating their children. In hundreds of canes they do not even know what tho methods are. They know nothing about tbem. There is uo co-op-eratiou of the parent with the teacher. However much we may be able to im prove modern methods of ednoation, the best results to onr children cannot be reached until parent and teacher shall como into closer relations thnn they are at present. ' ' Frenchwomen as Wives. Max O'Rcll considers that French women make bettor wives for poor or struggling mou than do the women of other nationalities. Their ambition and keen sense, he says, are great helps to a man's efforts, and tbey never allow tbomselves to weary in their endeavors to be cheery nnd charming. Mr. O'Roll says that the women are naturally ex ceedingly eucrKctio and endowed with that vivacity which is so great a sup port to their owu spirits, and that this enables thorn to impart animation aud courage to others. Other writers have natfaed this m. caliarity of temperament iu French women. It has been said that Ameriouns have it to a cortain degree, that rtogree wine compels a conotuut activity, but thut lack of true balance makes womnii- rreuerKV in tbo western continent fitful and uncertain, while the Gallic women win m round or more equable natures.

At dusk in tho wilds of the gloomy firaziliau forest yon will think It strange to hear the clink of a hammer on an anvil. Yon would Imngiue that you wera approaching some settlement, nnd the picture of the ruddy glow of the forge would come up before your eyes. But if your gnido worn a unlive, he would tell yon that the sonnd wnsmndn by a riiiii':i!icrn, us they call it, al though to foreigners it is known ns the anvil hi id. This bird is n little larger than a thrush. The plumage is perfectly white, tho eyes nro a pale gray color, and the nnked throRt and skin around the eyes are of a flno bright green, while its wore, northerly rolntivo is orange nud block, very much like our oriole. It Is generally in tho early part of the day thut the enmpnnero semis forth the woudei ful nolo that can lie heard at a dlstnueo of three miles. Marvelous in deed muht bu the mechanism of tho vo cal organs of so snfnll a bird to produce so farreachiug a note, bnt there is no doubt of the fact, for many travelers have heard the strange sound uttered by the bird when perched on the top most branch of some withered tree. Our Animal Friends. Paper lines For Travelers. - Comfort in traveling is an important consideration, and tho newest idea for a journey U one wortb regnrding. Dodg ing railrond cinders and dust is some thing not to be thought of. When a thoroughly clean railroad trip is possi ble, the millennium will have arrived, and this period is still, according to all beliefs, a lnrg distance off. But, owing to u simple thought of a practical man, the traveler can now protect his or her hat, which was out of the question be fore. A linmblo paper bag, obtained from the uciireKt grocer, is the god of the ma chine. Tbis is folded compactly aud stowed av.-ay in the pocket (in the bond bag or purse if the traveler is a woman and is pocketless). Before the cars start the bag is opened, tho hat placed there in, the hag pinned across its month aud the whole laid in the rack. Thereafter, until the domination is all bnt reached, tho traveler need have no thought of bis headgear, for no dust or cinders cun roach it. It will be found in the best of condition upon opening. So simple is this device that it is a wonder it was never thought of before. New York Horutd. A Scotaman Who Ruled Russia. Althongh not generally known, it is a matter of history that an alien, a Scotsman, once held the reius of gov ernment in Russia, and to him that country owes het oivili.ntlou, govern ment and prnsent position among the natlous.

Little rnnfth or mile language is used by thu Kiif liih They even fight with out swearing aud get very drunk and noisy without employing strong Ian gouge. They love to chuff and guy each other, and tho crowds and the street people who drive horses and peddle goods and haug about the corners are a great denl wittier than most of us give them ciedit for being, bnt they seldom resort to bad langnngo 1 never henrd much of it until I went to Fotticont lane, nnd 1 know a woman who has lived hero two years and been constant ly about town who tells me that in that time she has only heard one oath from an Englishman's lips. The worst word I heard in Petticoat lane was " bloody. " That, however, is the worst word I con Id have beard in English opinion it is tliu fonleNt word there is. 1 have ouly heard one man use it nnd he did not speak it He was very angry, and he spelled it. I am telling you this because I know that at home in America we associata it with the English nud pot it in Eng lishmen's mouths iu our anecdotes, as if it were a matter of conrse that It should he nsed to give a local oolor to nn English story. Americans come here nnd make use of the word for the comio value that they attach to it, and yet I assnre my renders that if they tried to think of any rcully disgusting term tbey bad ever beard and made use of instead tbey con Id not more startle or shock these EngliHh ears. English suilurs have brought the word "bloody" to onr shores sailors and prizefighters and stablemen, and only snob persons cling to it hero. What we consider a very much fonler word has a vastly wider ciroulatiou, but is uct considered as bad as "bloody. " All this is very strange and requires n native to explain it, especial ly as "bloody" is merely the contrac tion of the oath "by onr Lady, " which was moro or less commonly nsed in the ancient days when this was a Roman Catholic country The people who try to swear without swearing who in onr country say ."bully cheo" and "by oripes," all nso the word "blooming" over here. "I enn't very bloomin well make you buy this blooniiu thing, but I'll 'ave a bloouiu try at it," is what I heard a Street fai.ir say to a crowd the other day. There is no harm in that at all, and it is much more typically English than (he word "bloody," besides being decent. It is fdliliy what mistake! nation moke about one another. Over here the very smart thing in roporting the speech of us Americans is to make us all and always call ourselves "Amurrfoans. " It may be true of us. This whole nation believes it. But I never henrd au Amer ican so proununnetbenameof our ooun- -try, and yet I've got a qniek linguintio' ear, which is a thing the English utter ly lack Julian Ralph iu Providence' Journal.

In grouping books of this type iu an order of merit based on their historical wortb. it cannot be de nied that "Tho Last of the Barons" should be awarded the first place, with "Henry Esmond" and "Hereward the Wake" braoketod as second.
