Ignorance of fairyland is the punishment of intellectual vanity the vanity of the average pedagogue, who has forgotten that education means leading forth and not stuffing in.

It is the vanity of the physiologist who, forgetting that the germ-plasm is a faculty of influsnce and enterprise, not an arrangement of molecules, thinks to create it in a test-tube. It is the vanity of the eugenist who believes he will improve upon those ancient ways of life which, for a few ages before Mendel and Weissmann, managed, all untutored, to evolve a reverent man, something more mar-veloUB than these modern academic things who seem so ignorant of their native virtues. To the fairy tale we must often look, if we are to mend our ways with the child and lead him forth to And that mighty world, that true self, which Is the idea of him laid up in the heart of God. New York' Telegram. Daily Housework Outline.

An outline of a system of housework was the request made not long ago by a bride-to-be, who wished some directions published for her guidance in housekeeping. The variation in the needs of different households makes a universal rule impracticable, as was suggested to the inquirer at the time; but she may find some help in a daily outline given by Miss Par-loa, a noted authority on household matters. Miss Parloa says: "Make the fires, air the dining room and hall. Prepare the breakfast and set the table. Air 'the bedrooms while the family is at breakfast.

Remove the breakfast dishes; put away the food. Sort the dishes and put to soak all dishes and utensils that have had food in them which is liable to. stick. Put dining room and sitting room in order, airing them well. Wash dishes, put kitchen and pantries in order.

Prepare dishes that require slow cooking and put them to cook. Make bods and put sleeping rooms and bathroom in order. Trim lamps. Dust halls and stairs; sweep piazzas." A Gem In Its Way. This, slightly deleted, is from the erstwhile sedate Outlook, which was wont to frown upon levity as severely as the rest of us do on the deadly upas tree of the tropics or the equally dead singletree of the more temperate sones: "You can get relief from bunions by walking pigeon-toed.

A bad case of pigeon-toes can be cured by walking bow-legged. The remedy for chronic bow-legs is to walk knock-kneed. Should knock-knees bring pigeon-toes again, one can, of course, always escape back to bunions." Painting Walls. Before paint or calcimine is applied to walls every crevice 6hould be filled witn piaster or cemest To the calcl-j mine, put one-quarter pound white glue in cold water overnight and heat grad-j ually in the morning until dissolved. Mix eight pounds of whiting with hot water; add the dissolved glue and stir together, adding warm water until the consistency of thick cream.
