Such is the memorial tribute. The love of a father and daughter is always beautiful, and in this case is unusually touching. The perusal of what the good man wrote has made me think of him with softened feeling. I know nothing about his life or history, save what appears in this account of his daughter, after reading which I could even look at his book on solitude with complacency! ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. EDUCATIONAL. B. IGNORAMUS.—You cannot say, “No one knew I was here but her,” because you are speaking in the nominative case, which answers to the question “who”—viz., “Who was there?” “She was;” not “her was.” In the accusative case the personal pronoun “her” is employed—viz., “Of whom did you borrow it?” “Of her;” not “of she;” the accusative answering the word “whom.” A. R. B.—A visitor requested us some time since to draw attention to the Training Home for Governesses, 81, Mildmay-grove, N., at which the fee for board, lodging, and laundry for three months is only £6. We think this might suit you, especially as the foundress undertakes to find situations for the students. The Kindergarten system is included in the course of training. Address the directress. MOLLY M.—Friendless and homeless girls and others needing a short training in the ordinary work of a general servant are received at a payment of 5s. a week, at Breydon House, North Quay, Great Yarmouth. Address the lady superintendent, Mrs. H. E. Buxton. Every effort is made to place the girls in suitable situations on leaving the institution. They cannot remain there after the training is over. DOROTHY.—We fear there is nothing to be done, if you cannot spell, but to purchase a little dictionary, and always look out every word of which you have the least doubt. We are glad you find our dress articles so useful. BEEAHUDHU AND INNISTORE.—The action of the rays of the sun does put out a fire by rarefying the air, and so causing it to flow more slowly towards the fire. The air which really does reach the fire at the time also affords no nourishment, because rarefied air contains less oxygen than the same quantity of condensed air. We should imagine the steel chain would have no effect unless you were struck by lightning. PURPLE CLEMATIS should write to the secretary of the College of Preceptors, 42, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, W.C. A COUNTRY LASSIE.—The 12th February, 1886, was a Friday. We do not know the school you mention. It is probably a private one. Why not write yourself direct? ANXIOUS.—Perhaps a Kindergarten school would suit you better.
