It runs this way: Hoora, Hoora, Hoora ! Who are we? Canadians, Canadians sea. Kruger, Kruger, where is He ?

—Considerable interest is being taken by the Agricultural Department at Washington in a report sent out by the Canadian Experimental Farms upon the subject of feeding molasses to stock for fattening purposes. - From three to five pounds per day were fed, diluted somewhat, and poured over the cut coarse fodder. It is said the steers developed a great liking for it, and to all appearences it gave good results. The most important points in favor of this new feeding stuff are that it con- tains a large percentage of sugar, the most assimilable from of carbohydrates found in cattle feed ;_ it stimulates the appetite, and probably increases the digestibility of the other constituents of the ration,
—As an indication of the activity or otherwise of business, records of bank clearing houses are valuable. Certainly if the figures of tho London Bankers’ Clearing House are a correct idea, the conclusion is correct which the Economist is disposed to draw from them, that “the volume of business in the country was larger than in any previous year of which a record has been kept. Doubtless, however, some allowance should be made for the great extension in the use of banking facili- ties in recent years among varieus classes of the community, which for- merly conducted their business with- out the aid of cheques. The total amount of theclearings was £9,150,- 269,000 as compared with £8,097,- 291,000 in 1988, the increase of £,105,297,800 being equal to 13 per cent. The Economist gives a table covering the years since 1884. In that year the total clearings were 4 51798,600,000, and had gone up by 1890 to £7,801,048,000. Then they ran down again to £6,331,800,000 in 1894, and have been rising since.

LA GRIPPE,.
The prevalence of la grippe all over the country every winter must interfere to a el@u «x eat with scheol avtendance. iivery caution should be taken to avoid la srippe. Above all things, immediate at- ention should be given to slight colds siexaauction should be avoided if pos- bie The tendency of grip is toward yuoeumunia—a disease dreaded not oaly forthe mmediate danger, but for the re- iis that often tellow it. Some of the beet obesiciane assert that la grippe is ‘gutagians While they admit the obscurity virces ot the disease. Physicians d vise ta cc jo all things, early our, sal-l iou- foor, dry, warm feet, the ivoidance of draugbts, wuitable clothing, the avoidance of chill aed sudden ebanges f temperature. Teachers should take an interest in the physiealwelfare of their pupile, No child sbould be allowed to sit all day ia school with damp clothing or wet feet. Every sehoo!l should be farn- ished with a themometor + that the tem-~ perature of the room cen be properly regulated’ There is just as mach danger in having the school:room tov warm as in having it too cold.
fF the
HYGIGNE FOR THE SCHOOL,
The years of school life are physiolo- gically oonsidered, the most important years of our lives. At this time the hu- man body may, with healthy eurround- ing, be impressed with a Jasting vigor ; or foul air, improper nourishment, and over~ training may eow the seeds of degenera- tion. One of the greatest problems of school hygiene is to secure proper rentil- ation. It is impossible to attaisa proper physical and mental culture in the pres ence of impure air. Defective ventila- tien is easily detected by the sense of sme)! as well as by the effects upon those who areso unfortunate 4s to remain for any length oftime iaas peorly aired room. Carbonic acid gas is one of the waste pro- ducts of the body aud is thrown off by the breath,and it is tais substance that tainte the atmoephere of rooms. A heavy, musty edor, 82 0ften detecied in crowded and poorly ventilated rooms isan evidence to the senses that there is an excess of car- bonic acid gas prereot. This odor is not experienced by those already in the room, but i@ very appreciable tothe newcomer from the outside, The ill effects may be dissipaved with 4 proper res pewal of fresh air; but if one is too leng or [02 consiantly exposed the health may be seriously impaired. A noted physician siater that at least forty per cent of all fatal diseases are directly due to impure air. Scientiste tell us that a pure atmosphere bas about four velumes of carbonic acid gas to ten thcusand yolumes of air, When the gas collects above this proportion the air is becoming vitiated, and when the propor- tion of carbonic acid gas exceeds six to eight parts in ten thousand the air is uu- fit for continuous breathing.
Schoolrooms should not be overcrowded Hach child should be allowed from twelve to twemty equer: feet of floor espace and from 200 to 250 cubic feet of air space. But fleor espace and air epace will net alone suffice; tsere must be rome way in which the foul air may be removed and w fresh supply provided.
The proper Jightirgof the sehoolroom Is @ point of very g-eat importance. Professor Cobn, of Breslau, and others have found that there is a progressive tendency to vear-sightedness in school children; ieduced to @ ceriain extent by the nature of their work, and encouraged by defective illuminations, After examin- ing the eyes of 16,060 school children, Prof Cohn found that the ‘near sighted- nees increased from the lower to the upper classes. Everything tending toward eye- eirain should be carefully avoided. The wiodows of schoolrooms should reach closely to the ceiling as it is better to have the source of Jight as far above the floor as possible. It is usually considered pres ferable to have the light coming from the left side. Thecolorof the school room walls should be light grey.
Thefurniture of the sehool room may have ao important influence en the child’s health. The pupii should be compelled to sit up straigot. If theseats are not properly constructed children will be obliged to work in constricted, uncom fort- able positions and curviture of the apiae will result, The seat should be sucha height thatthe child when sitting can bave the soles and heels of his feet resting easily on the floor. The temperature of the school room in winter should not be lower tan 65 degreesF, or higher than 70 de- grees F, a good average being 68 de grees F.

THE TRUE TEACHER.
“What the teacher is counts for much more then whatshe knows. A love of children, unlimited tact and infinite pati- eace are the neceseary natural endow- mente,” writes Caroline B. Le Row, in the Ladies’ Home Journal. “Of course, the ability toteach implies the possesion of an education, though uo amount of education alone can make a good teacher. While al! teachers must know more than they teach, the power to impart to other is the impor- tant matter, and theartin which tact or ingeauity is ab oO utely the prime requisite, Moreover, she should be personally a social, intellectual and mora) force in the commuaity. The physician and the clergyman have immense opportunities for this uplifting of humanity, yet their advantages are small when compared with those of a teacher, which is practically un- limited.”

Ao Americas geutlemin asked a friend of his from the couatry ifehe had been oul the fair, and she replied as follows : “I didn’t went, I didn’s want to went, and if 1 had wanted to went,I couldn’t have gotten to gwin.”
Tommy, aged five, accompanied his father tochurch one cold Sabbath morn ing, and upon their return his mother a-ked him if becould repeat the minister's text. “ Course I can,” replied the little feliow. He got up and rubbed his hands together and said, “Many are co!d, but few are frozen.”
The story is told of Sir Walter Scott, who was far from being a brilliant pupil at echoel. After he became famous he ono day dropped into tbe old school to 1a, & visit to the scenes of his tormer woes. The teacher was anxious to make a good impression On the visitor, and put the pupils through their lessons so as io show them to the best advantage. After a while Scott said: But which is the dunce? Ycu have one, surely? Show him to me.” The teacher called up a poor fel- low, who looked the piciure of woe as he bashfully came forward. “ Are you the dunce?” asked Scott. “ Yes, eir,” said the boy. “Vell, my good fellow,” said Scott, “ here is a crown fur you for keep- ing my place warm.”
A Seripture examination was being held recently ia an Eeglish school, the lescon being Elijah offering of a sacrifice on Mount Carmel. Asthechildrer looked like good scholars, the inspector gave them a question, saying, “Now you have told me that Elijah put the bullock on the altar. Why did he put water round the alter ?” The children looked amazed except one little boy, who stood up and said : “Please sir, to make the gravey.” ’
“You will observe,” ssid a teacher “that the higher the altitude attained the colder the temperature becomes.” « But isn’t it warmer up in the mountains ?” asked the youth at the foot of the clase, *‘ Certainly not,” replied the professor. ‘Why do you think it would be warmer there?” “ I thought the atmospher was
heated by the mountain rangee,” answered
