A11.-DIVISION.-Scotland is divided into 32 counties. It is scarcely necessary to learn their names; but it may be remembered that the largest are, Argyle, Ross, Inverness, Sutherland, Aberdeen, Perth, Lanark, Ayr, and Dumfries. The most populous are Lanark, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Forfar, Renfrew, Ayr, and Perth. INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.-Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce. (1) Agriculture.-Only about one-third of Scotland is cultivated, owing to its mountainous character, and of this a large part is devoted to pasturage. There are few forests, and the chief tree grown is the fir. The chief grain cultivated is oats. The farming is good, the Scotch being amongst the best farmers in the world. The most fertile tracts are Strathmore, the Plain of Cromarty, and the Lothians, which is the district south of the river Forth, the Carse of Gowrie, between the Firth of Tay and the Sidlaw Hills and Teviotdale. Great numbers of sheep and cattle are fed on the moors and highlands. The climate is generally colder and bleaker than in England. EUROPE.-LAKES. B 11-La-do'-ga and O-ne'-ga, in Russia; Wen'-er, Wet'-ter, and Mae'-lar (ma'-lar), in Sweden; Mi-o'-sen (me-o'-zen), in Norway; Ba'-la-ton bah-lah-ton) and Neu-sied-ler (new-sed-ler), in Austria: Con'-stance, Ge-ne'-va, and Neuf-cha-tel' (nush-ah-tel'), in Switzerland; Mag-gi-o'-re (mad-je-o'-ră), Co'-mo, and Gar'-da, in Italy.

Its principal seas are the Bay of Ben-gal' and the A-ra'-bian Sea. It has three large rivers running into it-the In'-dus, the Gan'-ges (gan-jez), and the Brah-ma-poo'-tra. The largest islands are Mad-a-gas'-car, Cey-lon', Su-ma'-tra, and Ja'-va (jah'-văh). This sea is remarkable for its stormy winds. (4) The Arctic Ocean round the North Pole, and (5) The Antarctic Ocean round the South Pole, are covered with ice for a great part of the year. Seals and white bears are found in great numbers on the land. We know very little about the Antarctic Ocean. The Rivers Le'-na, Yen-i-se'-i, (yen-e-say-e) and O'-bi, in Asia, and the Mac-ken'-zie, in North America, flow into the Arctic Ocean. The principal islands are Spitz-berg'-en (g hard), and No'-va Zem'-bla. Work these Sums. Lesson 53.-Wednesday Morning. Reduce to SIMPLE FRACTIONS Lesson 54.-Thursday Morn. Grammar. Write and Learn. THE ADVERBIAL SENTENCE. The adverbial sentence takes the place of an adverb. It generally modifies the PREDICATE, but may also modify an adjective or an adverb; hence, it exactly performs the duty of an adverb. (1) To modify the PREDICATE. The horse fell, whilst we were driving home. The sentence "whilst we were driving home" modifies the predicate "fell." (2) To modify an ADJECTIVE. He was so good that I greatly loved him. The sentence "that I greatly loved him," modifies the adjective "good." (3) To modify an ADVERB. Tom ran so fast that he fell down. The sentence "that he fell down, modifies the adverb "fast."
