AN EXAMPLE
The teacher was explaining to her scholars the meaning of the word "transparent." "Anything," she said, "is called transparent that can be seen through. Now, Willie, can you give me an example?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied the boy. "A hole in the fence at the baseball grounds."
POINT OF VIEW
A Wilkesbarre woman recently engaged as nurse a Scotch girl just come to this country.
It appears that one Sunday the lady induced the nurse, who is the strictest sort of Presbyterian, to attend a beautiful church just erected in Wilkesbarre.
When the girl returned her mistress asked her if she hadn't found the church a fine one.
"Yes, ma'am," responded the girl, "it is very beautiful."
"And the singing," said the lady, "wasn't that lovely?"
