Rut Just look at theae (cell They are larjje, but thelroutllnes ai perfuut. Since the photograph, have been in my pnasesaltyt t have beeu making a study of feet. For Instance, look here. You see this is a nuked foot. It bnlongt to a young lady whose home is lu Atlanta. These lit tle bumps on the toea are corns. If you'll exaiuiue closely you'll observe that there are seventeen ot them. Don't you know the young lady pre ferred sitting down to standing up? These corns were made by tight shoes. The unfortunate owner of the feet be longs to that largo class of women, who, when they buy shoes, tit their heads lustead of their feet." The reporter picked out a iihoto graph which showed a pair of feet clad in slippers, "Whose are theaoP" he asked. "They belting to a Madison girl," was the reply. "You never saw feet more perfect. Ry the way, 1 taaut to call your attention to the discovery I've made. There are the feet of a hlotido. You never see a blonde whose feet are ugly. They may ho largo, but they will be shapely. There's one small corn dowu there on that little toe, hut It serves the sums purpose a piece of black sticking plaster serves on a white face it brings out all latent beauties. The owner of these fuet was one of the moat popular belles at the Hotel Su Simons, She com pletely captured the hearts ot the Col u in 1ms guards, and I am told will bo come the wife of a member of that company in the fall." Among the photographs was oue which displayed au extremely hand some figure aud feet juu as perfect as Juno's.

"Well, that might bo Queen Victoria's voungest ami haudsomest granddaughter," was the reply, "but it isn't. That is a uurso who was at the Hotel St. Simons with prominent Atlanta family." The luat photograph examined showed a pair of fuel lucaaud in tan colored low quartered shoes. "Whoso are those f" lie asked, expectlug to hear the name of soma famous belle.

The natives of tropical couuli ics'are seldom so much astonished as when they are first introduced to suow and Ice, says the N. X. Suit. The congeal ing of 'water is a phenomenon they are stow to comprehend. A few months ago Sir William Maegregor enticed several New Guinea native to the hith erto unsealed summit of Mount Owen Stanley, the loftiest iicak iu Uritith Australasia. On its Wren summit, nearly a thousand feet above the gone of vegetation, big Icicles were found, greatly to the amazement of the natives, who were much starlled when they touched them,. aud insisted thai their fingers had been burned. A year ago when Mr. Killers ascend ed Mount Kllinitt-Nj:iro, in Africa, hi native porters, who had lived alt their lives near the bane of tho great mount ain, pulled off their boots w ith which they had leen provided as they a proached the snow line and plunged merrily Into tho snow In their bare feet. They lost no time In plunging out again, and lay writhing on the ground, insisting that their feet had been severely burned. Some of tho central African natives who have been Introduced into Ger many mistook last winter, the first snow-storm they saw, for a flight of white butterflies. Lieut, von Francois says the mistake win a very natural one. Ono day as he was ascending tributary of the Congo ho saw for the first time the nir tilled with a great i swarm of while butterflies, aud he savs the spectacle closely resembled a gentle i lull ol snow. Tlio sciluctivo summer drink, so pop ular in our latitude during the dog days, produce upon the untutored sav age when first brought to his notice as uuplcasant an effect as an unexpected electric shock. King Dinah of west Africa hus been of tho recent sight seers in Paris. An attempt was made one day to exiilaiu to him the nature of ice by Introducing him to an iced drink. The unusual sensation greatly startled his majesty and he dashed the cooling draught on tho floor as soon as against the drowning of female chil he had tasted it. ,rn, which have been common of It is said that our Alnskun Esqulino late.

Cream Choose. j Let three quarts of milk stand In a pan affording a (rood surface till the cream rises. Skim off this cream and set It In the loo-chest to keep swooL Then bring tho skimmed milk out into the warm kitchen and let it become loppod. Put this lopporod milk on the stove in not too hot a place and allow it to remain only till the white 'curd separates from the whey. Just here many make a mistake; the liquid must not boil or your cheese becomes hard, tough and leathery as is the case almost universally with the choosos which we buy. Have ready vour cheese-cloth spread Inside your colander and pour both whey and curd therein, lulling the whey pass through leaving tlio curd in the cheese-cloth. Then tako the four corners ot the cheese-cloth together in the left hand and tie a string around them with the right, thus forming a. bag in which your choose may drain quite dry. 1 lonve mine to drain, while I go about my othor work, and It sometimes drains an hour nnd some times throe. Upon returning to It open the bag, remove the dry curd to a dish and rub quite fine with the hands. Salt to the taste and put it now in a pretty china bowl or bon-bon dish. Take your sweet croam from the ice-chest and pour it over the choose and boat them through ea'-h other with a silver fork. It will be delectable, belter for your family's tea than so much moat and costs only eighteen conts three quarts of milk: at six conts a quart.

It Is well worth a trip to, this town to speud a half day In its Catholla cetno tery. Here may be seen perhaps, th largest collection ol curious huadstone in the country. Tliny are the life-work of a rosy-faced, unctuous little Irish man, who was uot ouly versed In the "three It's," but was also gifted with a vein of doggerel and a genlu for carving that, had both been cultivated, might have made him a sculptor-poet. A generation ago people In search ol lapidary solace wero attracted to hi shop by the sign; Heulptiired uiarhla har you Unit, To suit ilia lanoy ot the uiest re lined.

One day a visitor fond of plants called and was shown an tne norm treasures or tho place by tho proprietor liiinsolf. "Ah, Mr. Loo," said tho vistlor at parting, "t saw a wonderful plant flowering iu a cottage window at Wapplng the othor day, with drooping crimson flowers and buds liko coral ear-drops, aud I have soon nothing so beautiful in your croon-houses to-day." The great nurserymen was a little piqued at the idea of anything In a window being compared with his choicest hot-bouso rarities, and curiosity prompted him to make minute Inqiilrios, the result bolng that he drove down to Wapping the next day and thoro, sure enough, In the window of a humble dwelling, was the first fuchsia he had ever seen. Hull beside himself with the exultation of such a boautiftil discovery, he soon introduced himself to the owner of the plant, who told him that her Jack the sailor had brought it home with him on his roturn from South America, nnd that, poor as she was, nothing would Induce her to part with the plant, or, as she called it, "her keep sake." After some persuasion, how ever, Mr, Loe induced her to let him take away the plant and in return he emptied his pockots of all the money he had about him (several guineas), at the same time promising that a plant should be returnod to her after he had succeeded increasing it from cuttings or slips. And so from the cotta-'o window of Wapping tho fuchsia was brought to' the nristocratlo side of London, and the story spread, aud the highest and fairest women in En gland drove to the great nursery at Hammersmith to soe the prize.

To It he should come as a seeker, a discoverer of hidden treas ure. Every power should be awake, the interest aroused to get some clue to assist him In his future search, some data to verify thu conclusions of bis own efforts. Hut this llxed attention, this keen thought nd close reasoning, however secured and however pleasing and In spiring It mny bo, is work, and the stronger the magnetic force, the more exhaustive tho effort. Mental effort, liko physical, ha iu limits. An hour of rccll'nliiin, discussing topic of inter est, enlivening the dry statement Willi lively illustration, should have had quite as much lime for preparation. No lessons for home study in the primary grades should be possible, and little iu the grammar and high school grades. Thu hours before and after school are little enough for healthful growth, for becoming acquainted with the inner and oilier duties of home aud real life, and for that knowledge above aud beyond all school instruction which every boy, who I a bov, must have, aud for which many a gfrl might barter many of her auquiremeut lu music aud drawing. Closely connected with this home stuily is associated lu in v thought an other practice, onco common, which cau hardly lie too strongly condemned, the practice of keeping after school, of making education a punishment that ruinous resort of the incompetent. To secure the close, untiring at ten titin, there must bo in tho mind ot the teacher a clear conception of what is to be done, that ambition may not .be dulled and curiosity extinguished by misdirected nnort and fruitless en deavor. A thorough knowledge of the subject much beyond tho limits of the lesson, will save from mnny a fruitless digression and wearisome repetition Of quite as much imtmrtance, too, is a knowledge of the cliaracter ot those with whom she bus to do, their powers, dispositions, aud hahiu. What an opjiortunity the recitation furnishes for imparling information. for giving the pupil an insight into the rich Ileitis of literature, science, his tory, aud real life, lu the rending of a class are the possibilities of a libera) education, of an art and a cultusti be yond what the graduates of high school and college often so carefully enfold in ineir diplomas. For the true purposes of the school, tho best, If not the only olllclent means. are found iu tho oral recitation. The written exorcise iu such favor fifty years ago Is in no true sense a recita tion, ami Is destitute of almost nil the benefit sought in tho recitation. I have spoken little of methods, be cause there is no best method. Thor are certain underlying principles that should always control, aud certain things to bo forever avoided. Not should tho same method be followed at all times; now tlio topical method, now the short question and answer; the pu pil now feeling his way along thought fully, carefully, and now prompt with me rejoinder. Rut nlwavs there should bo a tnn. dency, a nearer approach to a distinct enuuclalion, correeilanguago, pleasing tones. Nor are ease and grace ol manuer to bo forgotten, as shown ir rising and silting, or in walking acrosi the room, in standing, holding the book, and handling the pointer. Little things all, but as attractive in the school as In the home, and havinsr lnrger influence on the character that Is often Imagined, nnd almost insepei able from thoso kindly relations be tween teacher and pupil without whicl no school can attain to its true posltior m au etuii-aung, civilizing institution Rare Thought. Below are a few thoughts culled frorr an address dolivod to the Iowa teachon uy supt. Henry Sabin: Have grout respect for the boy part of the boy. Thoro are two ideals in the boy'i mind; a manly man, and a womaulj woman. ' If the teacher can get hold of thr whole child, he may. hope to make i man of him. We need to bo careful that we art not misled by mero catch words and popular phases. , Secure attention thronsrh the skillful presentation of oholco material suited lo the ohild's mind. 1 he teacher in the rural not do the same work that 1 tho graded school, but sb,o can do work equally as good. Thoro is a widespread Ides tlmt. th. country school is Inferior; if i; ,s, it if not a matter of liocossity. It ought not to be so any longer. The pupil should bo taught to Inter pret the troos, tho waters, the flower of summery and the crystal forms ol winter into a living though unwritten language. 1 iroobol was not an Imitator, neither was he a philosopher.

A Naslrr, in Journal of Jiducalim, What I Good OrdrrT , The teacher 1 sometimes so anxious for a quiet school that he etherize the intelligent In order to paralyze the muscles, to the end tlfat quiet may reign. He forgot that good order it only a means to an end; that it i in no sense n end; that it Is at the beat an unfortunate necessity, an unnatural condition that kee)s coltish children physically inactive for Ave hour a day. The end 1 mental feeding and intel lectual exercising for growth and de velopment In this direction, aud ex perience teaches that the greatest amount of the best result are econom ically attained by feeding and exerei. lug several mi nils at once; and such i the freakishnesa of children in the mass that they can only be treated skillfully when they are in such physical sub Jection a to be loral to tne command of a superior. Whoever ha the tact to secure the highest intellectual ac tivity of tbe right kind, without giving special attention to the stillness of the school, has attained high art in school management. The old-fashioned com mitteemen who went the rounds of the school once a term to see how still tbe children sat, and wrote a report once a year to tell the taxpayers that Mis Z, of district number 5, did not keep a good order as Miss A, of number 1, whose children did not move a foot, slate, or book with the slightest noise, has found his occupation gone. Good order is now estimated by good work, not bv stillness; by intellectual activity rattier than by physical inactivity; by life rather than death.
