t-sharing, a term
used in socialism, the rich to divide among the poor." "Monopolies is the
money gained by selling church properties"; while "a trust is usually a
place where a person puts some money where it will be safe to keep it."

About noted personages and historic events and places the answers are
equally startling. "Moliere was a French essayist and critic" (also "a
French writer of the nineteenth century,") Cecil Rhodes, "the founder of
Bryn Mawr College"; "Seth Low--England, eighteenth century;" Attila "a
woman mentioned in the Bible for her great cruelty to her child;" Warren
Hastings "was a German soldier" (also "was a discoverer; died about
1870"); "Nero was a Roman emperor B. C. 450." Perhaps the most unique
guess in this line was "Richard Wagner invented the Wagner cars;"
Abbotsford is "the title of a book by Sir Walter Scott;" "Vassar College
is a dream, high-up and unattainable;" "Tammany Hall is a political
meeting place in London;" "the Parthenon, an art gallery in Athens."

Pedagogy seemed one of the most perplexing of words. It was defined by
one as "the science of religion," by another as "learned pomposity;" but
the most remarkable of all was "pedagogy is the study of feet."

SONG OF SOME LIBRARY SCHOOL SCHOLARS.

Three little maids from school are we,
Filled to the brim with economy--
Not of the house but library,
Learnt in the Library School.

_1st Maid_--I range my books from number one.
_2nd Maid_--Alphabetically I've begun.
_3rd Maid_--In regular classes mine do run.
_All_--Three maids from the Library School.

_All_--Three little maidens all unwary,
Each in charge of a library,
Each with a system quite contrary
To every other school.

Our catalogues, we quite agree,
From faults and errors must be free,
If only we our way can see
To find the proper rule.

Boy's remark on returning a certain juvenile book to the library: "I
don't want any more of them books. The girls is all too holy."

* * * * *

"Half the books in this library are not worth reading," said a
sour-visaged, hypercritical, novel-satiated woman.--"Read the other half,
then," advised a bystander.
