A coTEMPoRARY recently said: "To car
feature the medical profession has been o
constant tradition among French wits
since Moliere and Boileau." II would
seem that the practice Is not of French
origin. There is.a passage In the Bible,
which Is mot unlike some more modern
hits at the doctors And Asa, In the
thirty and ninth year Of his reign, was
diseased IN his feet, until his disease was
exceeding great; yet in his disease he
sought not to the Lord, but to the physi-
clans. And Asa slept with his fathers.

Bed.ROOins.

As oNE-THrRD Of our existence is spent
IN our chambers, In the unconscious hap-
piness of sleep, and as good health Is Inn
possible without the habitual breathing
of hee THY atmosphere, the importance
of iuhaling pure air Is self-evident No
sleep can Be sound and heslthful unless
the person SIS comfortably warm and
many q man who has gone TO bed in
health has awakened with q mortal mala-
dy, or one involving lifelong suffering,
by having been exposed to a dratt Of ar
upon some part Of the body while asleep,
either from an open door, an open WIN,
dow, a broken pane or an unstopped
creYice.
Three things, then, are indispensable TO
the healthfufness of a bed-Chamber; we
must be comfortably warm, must not be
exposed to drafts Of air, and must be sup
piled with pure air, not very cold. a
great deal has been written about sleep
ing with windows sky-high, 50 as to let

that many persons have met their deaths

natural history that one jackass al
ways brays as soon as he sees another"
This question was received with
shouts OF laughter, in the midst OF
which the nonplussed witness backed
out Of court, and all the efforts of spec
ial constables, and even the high sher-
itf himself, were unavalling in getting
him again on the witness stand.
This trial lasted two days, to the
great delight Of all on board. After
my success with the naturalist" not
one-half of the witnesses would appear
against me. In my final argument l
sifted the testimony, analyzed its bear
ings, rufiled the learned counsel, dis.
concerted the witnesses, fiattered the
Judge and jury, and when the judge
had delivered his charge, the jury, ac-
quilted me without leaving their seats.
The judge received the verdict, and
then announced that he should fine the
naturalist for the mistake he made, as
to the cause Of the donkey's braying,
and he should also fine the several
witnesses, who, through fear Of the
cross fire, had refused to testify.

Salaries Of Teachers.

The New York Board of Education
are discussing the question of advanc-
ing the wages of teachers in the pub
llc schools. The question is one that
will bear discussion almost every
where. 1t is shameful fac. that
school teachers, who are entrusted
with the most important and sacred
duties next to those of parents, are so
poorly compensated that but few who
are really competent feel that they
can make the sacrifice required to
adopt teaching as lifetime profes-
sion. AS long as the body OF our
teachers are young men and women,
fresh from college and the boarding
school, who resort to teaching simply
to keep starvation from their doors
until something better turns up, we
cannot expect them to take a proper
interest in it. AS matter Of justice,
taking into account the amount OF
training needed to make good teachers
and the constant wear and tear OF the
profession, they should command the
most liberal salaries. On this primer
pie they are among the most poorly
paid classes Of society. Is.it wonder
that SO many who attempt to teach
are mere tyros and blunderers? Is it
a wonder that some of our schools are
questionable benefit to those who
attend them?
To secure better teachers we must
pay better prices.

Personal Culture.

A school must be able TO secure to
a good degree for its pupils three
things; acquired knowledge, mental
discipline and personal culture. Give
knowledge without discipline, and you

the power requisite to their best use;
grant the man knowledge and disci.
pline without:personal culture, and you
make him little else than shrewd and
powerful savage.
Now all observation shows that oul
public schools secure these elements
OF education to their pupils in invert
ed order: first. knowledge; secondly
discipline; thirdly, as lowest on th'
scale, personal culture. knowledge
may be inefficient, power may be coun
teracted, the cultivated and refined
will always have its rank and influ
ence Leave the masses rough and
boorish, and with all their acquired
knowledge and strength, they will still
be looked down upon-they will lool
down upon themselves.

braces fine variety, suitable for the

great merit of the book is that, it is

therefore, tiresome to the school. We

AaaaStutiC Printing.

This name is given to process by
which any kind of printed matter may
itself be converted INTO plate from
which new copies may be printed
The paper containing printed matter
or other designs is moistencd with di
luted nitric acid, but the ink, contain
ing oil, is not moistened. The paper
is then laid upon sheet of polished
zinc and submitted to pressure, by
which portion of the ink adhercs to
the zinc, and protects the zinc from the
action of the acid. When the acid in
the paper touches the zinc, it corrodes
it, and forms surface to which INK
will not adhere. The paper is then re-
moved, and the plate is washed with
gum water, which vets the corroded
surface, and leaves the mixed surface
untouched. The zinc plate is then used
like an ordinary photographic stone.
When the linked roller is passed over
it, the INK only adheres to the design,
from which an impression may then
be taken by the ordinary process.

There sits shadow dim and sad, and vast,
And fingers still.
And still We hear voice among the hills, !.
A voice that mourns among the haunted

And with the mystery Of its sorrow fills
The solitudes.
Dor while gay autumn gilds The fruit and

The action of sea-water upon cast
iron is curious, converting it at length
into gray porous mass, that grows
rapidly hot upon exposure to the air,
In 174O, some iron guns. that went
down with the Spanish Armada near
Null, in Scotland, were tished up. On
scraping them they soon became SO
hot that they coulc not be touched. In
all probability this gray porous mass
was simpl, the carbon Of cast-iron, the
metal having been converted into chic
ride OF iron by the sea-water and SO
removed, since these very guns, to
which DR.. Perry refers, were, when
fished up, SO light that, although 81
Founders, one man could easily lift
them.
