' ; 55-t "I don't like to calculate open such things," observed my wife; "but if Aunt Jane were to die, I should not be a bit surprised if she left us that old- fashioned set of silver, that belonged to my great-grandparents." f Out of consideration for the printer I will omit indications of the emphasis with which she usually spoke. If the reader will kindly consider every word printed in small caps or italics, he wil have some faint idea of hei manner of expressing herself. "it is a very handsome set," i re turned, glancing abont our modest dining-room ; "and will hardly accord with our furniture." "It wouldn't look at all well with that sideboard." returned my wife, promptly,."it is so dradfally shabby oh, of course I meaic the sideboard, not the silver ; don't je so mart." "I suppose, then, if such a thing were to happen, you'd have to have a new sideboard." She nodded com plasently. "I saw such a lovely one down town today antique oak, bountifully carv ed. I do admire oak so ranch." "But the rest of the furniture is wul uat." I objected. "Walnut is altogether out of style, especially for dining-rooms," she re plied, with a disdainful glance At the chairs which we had once locuid very good to look at ; "and, after all, the sideboard is by so m Uoli the most -expensive piece of f urnature in a dining room, that it doesn't cost much more to get a whole set than just that one piece. And even a walnut sideboard, new, would hot look well with these chairs and this table." I said nothing, and . tho tacit sur render was accepted, by ray wife. Thenceforth it was. -understood that if Aunt Jane should bequeath as that silver, we were to purchase !new set of dining-room furniture. . The next evenin&r, as we were again at dinner, my wife remarked : UI have been looking: at carpets to day, and saw one that just suits me rich and subdued, yon; know, but not dingy." ' "Carpets!" I repliftd, in some sur prise; "I didn't Ww that there was one needed this sea son." "Why, stupid,"," rejoined my wife, petulantly, (and tr te. emphasis was all upon the pet nan: ,e "did we not agree that the dining 00m "must be refur nished T And ti .is carpet is so old and worn, of conrss it would not do at U with new fmrsot: uie." ' Again I mtqa iesced silently, and she proceeded tsa ake plans for meeting me the next ,; day, to examine and choose the earf t and furniture to be purchased late r on.

' h; - I stared a fhasfc; that silver wsj fo int; to cost i:ie a pretty sum. But' I was helpless 1 Mtirety se ; my wife had made up her- wad. , Tbat evening, sjhe was auch. coated at the prospect of being- surrounded by such things as she had that day se- ected. There was but one cloud on her harixon. The dining-room will be nicer than the parlors," ebe remarked.plaintively; "I am afraid that they will really look shabby." I said nothing, hoping that if she were not contradicted she would not pursue the subject farther. Vain hope ! She had fixed it in her own mind that silence gave consent, and when I came home the next even ing, had assumed that the parlors were to be newly fitted np. "Don't yon think," she said, coax- ingly, "that as long as the parlors and dining-room are to be torn up, and we are to have the painters and paper hangers here, we might as well have the whole house done f ; It would be very little more trouble, and then it would all look nice together," - "It would be considerably more ex pensive," I remonstrated, faintly. . "Yon might draw the money out of the building ' association,' she sug gested ; and - then 1 knew; that our savings in that institution were doomed. Aunt Jane lingered a long time. In justice to my wife, I must admit that she had become oblivious of the fact that all these improvements de pended upon a legacy, ; which could only be possessed after the death of her venerable relative. A day or so after she had decided that the house wax to be thoroughly renovated, my wife said to me : "I have been examining the parlor carpets, and I find 1 hat by using the best parts of both, and baying a wide border, I can get quite a new' "carpet for our bed-room absolutely un- newp. I did ray best to comfort my wife, however, and comported myself like a dutiful nephew-in-law at the mournful ceremonies fallowing -the death. w . ; 1: . When I returned home the day after the funeral, my wife met me at the door, ber face flushed, her eyes blaz ing. ; "What do you suppose that old crank has done I" she demanded.

I know he will." ' Then the blaze in her; eyes was quenched by a flood of tears.-' I did nay best to soothe her, but my efforts were useless. I assured her that if her cousin sold the silver, we would buy it. ; ' "I don't want it," she declared ; 'I woa't have it" very - vehemently "and I won't get a single new thing ia the bouse, or a new dress, or that sealskin, or anything.- I'll just stay here with things as they am, and John Scott ean ke-p his silver, and yea can keep yonr building association money and stock, too.

I remarked, with pleas ed surprise; there was one thing that she would not want, anyhow. "Yes, and the carpet that is now on it has enough good to cover the chil dren's room, if I put the worn part under the bed. Or maybe I'd better put that on the spare-room,'' she add ed, reflectively, "and give that one to the children. Theirs gets such bad wear that an old one will not last any time, hardly." "I said nothing, but felt greatly re lieved. . "As long as we don't have to buy a bed-room carpet," gbe remarked, in sinuatingly, "don't you think we could afford a new set of furniture V "No, I don't," I returned, savagely; whereupon she burst into tears and called roe a heartless monster. To pacify her, I had to promise the fur niture, together with a new silk and a sealskin, that the mistress of the house might be as fine as her dwelling. "It does seem a ehame," she said, a few davs afterward, "to spend so much money on this house. That's very handsome and expensive paper that we looked at, and to substitute an archway for the folding doors will cost something" this was the first that I had heard of the archway "and then those lovely carpets cut up to fit these small rooms too !" "Yes, it is a shame," I replied, hardly crediting my senses. Not all bad been . lost, although , much had been in danger. "I am so glad that you think so," returned my wife, briskly ; I was sore that voc would agree with uie that t would be wiser for us to find a house that suits us better, and buy right away. Real estate is cheap, now, they say there's so tnoeb in the market" ;".';' 1 - She tried to put on a knowing look ; if she had known half as much about that subject as aboat managing me, I should have felt impressed. As it was, 1 weakly objected : "My dear, I don't know where in the world I could get the money to bay a larger and better honse any house at all, in fact." "You could sell this,", she replied, nothing daunted. , "But if real estate is a drug on the market, I do not want to sell," I re torted, thinking cunningly td tarn her own weapon upon herself. "There are those shares of stock, then." -"But that stock is going up daily; it I wait six months, I can get double what it would bring now or hold it, and draw big interest on my invest V "Well, what else are yon going to do f You said yourself that we most have a larger and better house." Thereupon J mentally bade a regret ful' farewell to the stock and the money which I had expected to make by hold ing it. My wife occupied her leisure time for the next three weeks in look ing for a residence which should be in alt respects suitable for the furniture we were going to buy. What she jrould desire next, I could not , gness, unless she should become thoroughly dissatisfied with me. At the end of the period mentioned, I came home one evening to find ber in tears. : "Aunt Jane's dead," she sobbed ; "the poor old lady died this morning. I have just eome from her house.". As Aunt Jane had been at the point of death for the past six months, I was hardly surprised te hear this bit of The first woolens which will be se lected for early spring gowns are light soft serge with a perceptible twill, fhe woolen 8 are imported in a variety of artistic old colors revived from the Directoire period and notable in - nat ural grays and suede colors.

Good Housekeeping. Com to Cleveland. mind of the seeker after the best in the science of teach ing needs only the key to the method to nnlock-all its beauties and utilities. Hence we shall proceed to diseuss the second phase of the subject. "The Phonic Method an Auxiliary of the Word Method. I Says Superintendent E.P. Moses, one of oqr most noted . Southern teachers and scholars : "I want to see in all our schools the substitution of the power of the letter for the name of the letter. In fact t am convinced that it ia wrong to allow children, under any circum stances, While reading, to call the name of the letter. The idea sometimes ad vanced that a combination of the three methods (the word method, the phonie method, and the alphabetic method) should be used, is all wrong, because that would necessitate the calling of the names of the letters." Mrs. J. A. McDonald, Shelby Female College, late of Kindergarten and Pri mary Department of Peace Institute; Raleigh; N. C, one of the best known and most experienced primary teahcers in North Carolina, gives this synopsis of how she teaches children to read by the Word Method : "I teach ob jectively, giving fi st the idea and then the words. Words must be taught as a whole first the sounds, and then the forms ; words should then be combin ed into groups and sentences. Aftor pupils are able to read a little, analyze the words into sounds. This is the method I use." These eminent teachers quoted above speak with no uncertain sound upon this subject; and we rejoice to have such high authority to corroborate our state ments in this discussion. One of ttie prime faults in all reading is indistinct ness in articulation, and the Phonic Method of teaching children to read gives great accuracy and power to pro nounce words exactly. Resolving words, sounds, into phonie elements is entirely in harmony with -the logical mode of thinking, the whole first, the parts afterwards; and, unquestionably, this plan will give new lire and power to the Word Method. To teach the phonie elements of a word sound not a word form pro nounce before the class any woid, as cat. Let the pupils repeat the sound several times, each time more slowly. gradually separating the elements, or sounds, one from another, till the ear grasps the idea that a word sound is an aggregate of isolated, dissimilar vocal impulses, or . sounds ; and, further, teach pupils that all words have not vocal representatives for all the char acters in, the word fot ms, e. g. dough- do. . But whatever device we may use, this principle must not be lost sight of. The word, the entire word, is the basis of child-thought. " We think in woids, and there is no other method under the sun whereby the child - can learn for himself .the -power .of words word sounds except from' the living voice of thai teacher'! That this is true, we need only toT refer to pur own ex perience-.' as we meet with new and strange words. We learn to pronounce these new words by one of two ways neither of which is at the disposal of the ohiid by referring to a lexicon, guided by ' the diacritical marks, for pronunciation", or by the subtle law of analogy,: ox resemblenees, reasoning ftbm a known premise to an unknown probable rsult from the stand-point of similarity of form, likeness in con str action, "etc". According to the best authorities, no use is to be made by the pupils of the diacritical marks till the child has made great progress in read ing; some are led irresistibly, to the conclusion that the Word Method stands alone and on an eminence as compared with any other method that has for its object the teaching of the use ol spoken language, or reading, to pupils i1; and of the six or eight other methods of . presenting primary read- can be Wmbtag-toM Letter.
