be seen during the year. The bright
est planets? Venus and Mercury ? are
risible; our most brilliant constella
tion? Orion? appears in the Southwest;
aod the brightest of the fixed stars?
Sirus ? is visible in the South. In ad

polar star show up at their best.
When to cap the climax, the northern

GUIDEPOSTS IN FRANCE.
A Striking Feature of th? Roads
Throughout the Country.
A feature of the roiuis of France is
the ever present guldepost. These guide
posts consist of an Iron plaque about
two feet ions and a foot high securely
mounted on sturdy posts or fastened
to some substantial wall. They are
painted In white and blue and show
without any possibility of mistake not
only the cominnne or township In
which they stand, but the next Impor
tant place In either direction as well as
the distances between all the chief
points upon that route. Thus you will
And If you are traveling on a road
which leads to Paris that the name of
th? metropolis will appear on tha sign
board. although It may be several hun
dred kilometers distant
In addition to these guldepoots the
Touring Club of France has put on
the chief roads a series of signs and
symbols to Indicate to motorists and
bicyclists wbat sort of a road they are
approaching. The sign "ralentlr," which
translated Into good Ui ited States
means to "let up," has vu !?ed many a
motorist who Is unfan.lllir v Ith the
road he Is traveling to slow down and
to find shortly after the sign hud been
passed that It was well that he paid at
tention to It because of a steep grade
or some abrupt turn. There Is no ex
cuse, In view of the symbols and slgn
l>oards. for any one motoring In France
to get on the wrong road or to come
unexpectedly Into trouble.? Frank Pres

Thrifty Paganini.
Whoa Paganini was asked many
years ago to play at Vauxhall Oar
dens he Inquired how many persons
the place would hold.
"That Is Impossible to say," said the
manager. "It Is a large, open space."
After some reflection the great vio
linist Inquired, "How many will the
large, open space contain when quite
full?"
"Perhaps iiO.OOO."
"Ah, 20,000 people? And you ask
how much?"
Tour shillings each."
"Four shillings each! Twenty thou
sand at 4 shillings make 80.000; 80.000
shillings. ?4.000. Well, I will play In

GU^ER TEACH'MS
A Glimpse of tho One Tirr.e Methods
In Scotch Schools.
To the work of supervisor of schools
In Scotland Mr. .(oliu Kerr devoted a
number of years. In his book, "Other
Memories, Qld and New." he has set
down some amusing illustrations of the
unintelligent way In which tho school
work was sometimes conducted.
The revised code of education which
was Introduced In 1SC2 made provision
for nothing but reading, writing and
arithmetic In-thelr barest forms. There
was no suggestion about grammar, ge
ography. history or Intelligence In any
study. Explanation of the reading les
son was not demanded, aud therefore
it was neglected In some of the schools.
The following Is ou example:
The lesson was one glvlug an ac
count of a clever dog which had res
cued a child from drowning. It was
said that the dos was caressed by the
pareuts of the child. I asked what was
the meaning of the word "caressed,"
and the answer came at once, "Made
of fond led."
On referring to the list of words at
tho top of the page I found the ex
planation given was, "mado of, fon
dled."
Wishing to find out if any child in
the class had got a gllmmeriug of the
meaning, I went from top to bottom
ami got from every child nothing but
"made of fond led," pronounced us four
words, to w hlch they attached no mean
ing whatever.
The teacher was surprised that I was
not satisfied with the intelligence of
the teachlug.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedlc., and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. HMl's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
they offer one hundred dollars for any
case it to cure . Send for circular
and testimonials.
