May night The pattered against the window panes and the poor daffodil in the borders shook and shivered as if their golden heads once more in the mothersoil My mother Eleanor arid I The first pale pretty and silver- haired with her widow cap bar dress of black bombazine and crape the sweetest looking old lady I think that I ever saw Eleanor sat beside her looking a she always did like a princess large dark eyes Dianalike feature and hair twisted in of coronal around her queenly head While I plain homespun Susannah commonly for short Susy crouched Upon a footstool in the corner my elbows on my knees and my chio In my hands Uncle Barnabas sat in the middle of the circle erect stiff and grim He was stout and short with a grizzled moustache a little round bald spot on the crown of bis head and two glittering black eyes that were always sending their dusky lightnings in the direction least ex pected Uncle was rich and we were poor Uncle was wise in the ways the world and we were inexperienced Uncle was prosperous mail he did while if there was a bad bargain to be made we were pretty sure to be the ones to make it Consequently and as a matter of course we looked up to uncle ami reverenced his What do we propose to do about it Eleanor slowly said lifting her beautiful jetty brows Yes thats It said my mother nervously because abas we dont pretend to be business women and Us certain that we comfortably on our present in came Something has got to be done And then my mother Leaned back in her chair with a troubled face 11 Yes said uncle something has got be done But whos to do it And another dead silence succeed ed I suppose your girls aie educat ed said uncle I know I found enough old schoolbills when I was looking over my brothers paper Of course said my mother with evident pride their education been most expensive Music draw ing of the globes Yes yes of course interrupted uncle But is it practical Can they teach Eleanor looked dubious I was quite certain that I could not amid alt her lists of accomplishment a had not includ ed the act of practical tuition Humph grunted uncle Queer thing this modern idea of education Well well if you cant teach you can surely do something What do you say Eleanor to a situa tion A situation The fluttered checks tike pink and blossoms I spoke plain enough I said uncle dryly Yes a situation What a situation uncle Well I can hardly say Part servant part companion to an elder lady explained the old gentle man Oh I do that Not do it And why not Its too much too much whis pered Eleanor losing her regal dig nity in the pressure of the emergency like going out to service And that is precisely what it is retorted uncle head Service Why were all put at ser vice in one way or another in this world Oh I know faltered poor Eleanor who between ber distaste to the proposed plan and her anxiety not to offend uncle didnt quite know what to say But I Im always been educated to be a lady So you wont take the situation eh said uncle staring up at the wishywashy little watercolor draw of Cupid and Psyche an exhib ition piece of poor Eleanors which hung above the chimney piece I couldnt indeed air pounds a year repeated uncle as If be were Wing off a lesson- Drive out In the carriage every day with the tttJffUt cat and to mod boose with air the yourself and two weeks spring autumn to visit your mother uncle no said Eleanor with a shudder I am a true and I cannot stoop to menial duties Uncle gave a prolonged sniff to suggest the of a very bad cold in head indeed Sorry said he Heaven helps those who help themselves and cant expect me to be any more minded than Heaven Sister to my mother what do you say My mother drew her pretty little linger up a trifle more erect than usual I think my daughter Eleanor quite right said she The have always been ladies I had sat quite silent still witb my chin in my hands during alt ibis family discussion But now I rose up and came creep ing to Uncle Barnabas side Well little Susy said the old gentleman laying his hand kindly on my what is it If you please uncle said I with a rapidly throbbing heart would like to take the situation Bravo cried Uncle My child I exclaimed my mother Susannah l uttered Eleanor in accents by no means laudatory Yes said I Twenty five pounds a year is a great deal of money and I never was afraid to work I think I win go to the old uncle Im sure I could send home at least twenty pounds to mother and Eleanor and then the two weeks would be so nice- Please uncle Ill go back with you to London when you go the ladys nam Her name said uncle Did not tell you Its Prudence Mrs Prudence What nice name said I I know I shall like her Well I think you will said uncle looking kindly at me and think she you Is it a bar gain for the nine oclock rain morrow morning Yes I answered stoutly taking care nob to look the direction of my mother arid Eleanor the most sensible of the lotssid uncle approvingly But after he had gone to bed in the chamber where pillowcases were and the cMnts-cu- easy chair the full strength of the broke on my de voted head I help it rjuolh I holding valiantly lo my colors We cant starve Some of must do some thing And you can partly live mother darling on twenty pounds a of Worlds year in white apple That is true my mother from behind her lace- bordered pock et handkerchief But I never thought to see a of mine going out to to service I And Uncle going to do anything for us all cried out Eleanor Stingy old fellow I should he might at least adopt one of Hes as rich as and never a chick nor a child He may do as he likes about that I answered independeotly prefer to earn my own bread So the next morning I set out for the unknown bourne of life Uncle said as the train reached the how shall I find where Mrs Prudence lives I Oh there with you said he- Are you well acquainted with her ventured to ask Oh very well indeed answered uncle nodding his head sagely We took a cab at the station and drove through so many streets that bead spun and around a teetotum before we at a pretty mansion it looked like a palace to my unaccustomed eyes and uncle helped me out Here Is where Mrs Prudence lives said lie with a chuckle A neat little maid with a frilled white apron and ribbons in hair opened the door with a courtesy and was conducted into an elegant apartment all gliding and satin damask when plumy old dressed in black silk with the loveliest Valenciennes lace at her throat and wrists came smilingly like a sixtyyearold sunbeam So youve come back Barnabas you said she and brought one of the dear girls witb you Come and kiss me my dear Yes Susy kiss your Aunt said uncle flinging his hat one way and his gloves another as he com placently down on the sofa My aunt echoed Why of course said the plump old lady dont you know Im jour Aunt Prudence- But I thought I in be wilderment that I was coming to a situation We so you are retorted uncle the situation of adopted daughter in my family Twentyfive pounds a year pocket money the Aunt Prudences cat and canary and to make yourself useful Oh uncle cried I Eleanor would have been so glad to come if she had known it and little fishes illogically responded my untie I have no patience with a thats too fine to work Eleanor had the situation her And she chose to decline You decided to come and here you stay Ring the bell and order lea for Im as hun gry as a hunter and I dare say little Susy here would relish a cup of tea And this was the way I drifted into ray luxurious home Eleanor in be country cottage envies me bitterly for she has all the tastes which wealth and a metropo litan home alone can gratify But uncle will not hear of ray ex changing with her No no says he the girl Ive got is the girl I mean to keep Miss Eleanor Is too fine a to suit me But be lets me send them liberal presents every month and w I am rtry happy A travelling Frenchman was asked the other day how the buildings of theColumblan Worlds Fair compared with those of the last exposition In the French After reflecting a moment he replied The build ings at are what you might have expected in Paris the buildings irr Paris were what you might have expected in Chicago That is to say in the capital of the world of art the exhibition architecture and architecture is an essential part of a worlds exhibition in its utilitarian ism made little effort to rise above the commonplace while in a typical industrial city of the New World the display is of the noblest and most refined classic art The creation has avoided the eccentric as completely As it has the commonrplace has achieved the grand without pre tension and has been so mindful of beauty and that the severest critic cannot gibe at its ambitious magnitude At the same time utility has not been sacrificed to show no the practical object of the exhibition tO ostentation No worlds Exhibi tion was ever better housed or more conveniently arranged and prom now is that it will be seen to better advantage weari ness than any of its predecessors have been stood On the day of its formal dedication in October incomplete its decoration in progress with scaffoldings arid building- stages Still marring the architectural effect in midst of the of ten thousand workmen driving on the work night and day It Was alt eady a sufficient answer ho doubt whether the American is equal to the creation of any except those of mechanical ingenuity The distinction of the Columbian Exhibi tion is not its magnitude it is not that it contains the largest building ever erected in the world it is its beauty its harmonious grouping its Splendid landscape and architectural effects This is best comprehended as a whole in the approach from the lake The view there- especially at the coming of evening when long rows of classic columns the pillars and domes ate in relief against a glowing stinset sky of beauty that surprise most and will appeal most to those familiar with the triumphs of mans genius else where The cily of the lagoon reflected in the water as distinctly as It stands out against the sky seems like some fairy exhalation on the shore suggesting the long perspective of columns on the desert of Palmyra the approach by the Sea of Marmora to Constantinople and the canals and palaces of Venice as seen from the foils light and airy grace it is like a cily

ffipoifl There are only some three months before the Departmental Examina tions Will be on again and as many parents are at a loss to know why their children dont pass we wilt give a of the rules which appar ently govern those who set the papers a correspondent to the Journal having recently made hem known Rule Never consult the authorized text books If you do your paper will be quite commonplace and will say that you have no originality Besides the candidates will read there boobs and very likely a number of them will know what your questions mean a thing to be carefully avoid ed by good examiner Rule Never consult the official programme of studies to as certain the precise limits the candi dates are supposed to follow in their studies IT you do your question will appear reasonable and there will be nothing to bewilder and the candidate which is one of the prime requisites of a good examina tion paper since it to the conceit out of him and leaver him gazing Into the awful abyss of his own ignorance The educative value of manifest Role Never make your paper resemble the one set last year in the same subject If you do everybody will say you copied style of Mr A or And worse than thai the candidates will go over last years paper with their teachers and will be prepared to answer another paper of the same style But the pur- pore of an examination is to show the candidates how little they know and this purpose would be defeated if the papers were at all uniform from year to year Rvtr Never clothe in simple unambiguous lan guage If you do the candidates will not lose time as they should be compelled to do in translating your questions into ordinary phraseology The consequence will be that they will spend whole time allotted in answering the questions As the weather will be hot they ought to get a cold cbiil the see the paper the process of translation helps to bring Ibis on quickly Never grade your lions further than put all the hardest opes at the beginning of the paper and a few of the easiest at the end you do the candidates will think you are trying to obey the the Sermon on the Mount they may mistake you for a Christian The consequence will ho that they will give answers to all questions on the paper that they are qualified to answer and will not lose time In attacking more difficult questions which they cannot answer and many of them will get the full number of marks their scholarship entitles them to This would be a serious affair The business portion of was destroyed but i aiaaasaatt v M KiV ft relieves Homo Life in Canada With

part of a refined education and a mother who allowed her daughters to grow up without this knowledge and its practical and economic work ing would be considered remiss in her duty The wealth or social
