| The Swiss school hours are very long— twenty-seven hours a week for the primary classes, and only eight weeks’ vacatiou in the year. The studies in these earlier classes comprehend religion, good manners, German, Arithmetic, elements of geometry, natural history, geography, history, singing, drawing, gymnastics, and for the girle, fe- male industry. The yirls may skip the geo- metry class, if the parents so choose. In the secondary schools where the pupils are from twelve to fifteen years of age, the studies are mostly a continuaiionand repeti- tion of those passed in the primary schools, except that natural history is enlarged upon greatly, especially in its bearings on farm- ing and other industries. More attention, too, is given to gymnastics and drill. These ‘classes are attended thirty-three hours a week, and forty-four weeks in the year, ex- clusive of much time spent in gymnastics. The course is fur three years.

The New Tariff on Eggs.

Some one has advised the Cavadian egg raisers to get the eggs from their hens when they command high prices in Boston and New York; and then they won't feel that extra tive cents a dozen, which the new tariff imposes.

We think we hear them reply, ‘* well that’s pretty pocr comfort when the hens and pullets, too, iustead of laying are sim- ply standing around looking and asking for more corn.” Please keep in mind if you feed them much corn you won't get an egg, that is ae tain fact. | Jf we ceuld only get an egg a day, or

even every other day at this season, we would soon get rich, says many a party who keeps hens. John 1. Porter, of Swath- more, Pa, offers hints to such that might
