POPULARITY.

What ought teacher to do to become
popular? Certainly be ought not to do.
that which he often does; to raise his rep
utation at the expense of his character, is
one of the most fatal mistakes which
teacher can make love for immediate

what his conscience condemns but WAS

Justice, in connection with the power to
abide by it's decisions? Can those who
profess to be educators, and who are
moulding the future of the world, afford,
in the sight of Heaven, to take single
step higher on the ladder Of fame, at the
expense of the eternal welfare of those
placed under their charge? Teacher,
nothing will insure you richer reward
than strict attention to the still, small

Ell, as we'll as politician, often has an op-

mis- individuality. If you have ever been
guilty of taking such course as this, have
you considered what the influence might
bes Have you ever, in any OIL, your
schools, been governed by few infuen-
tial men, for the sake Of making their
good will a stepping stone, by which you
might attain wider reputation! Or
praised any of your scholars unjustlyf Or
paid more attention to the children of
the rich than to those of the poor9 Or

those under their care, as they do those

German Liberal, who was exiled from Ger

SINGULAR CASE. The Evansville wis J
Gdzette says peculiar case of suspended
animation has come to its notice, A child
three or tour years of age, whose parents re-
side in the Fourth Ward, was taken sick
with diphtheria, and shortly after Group set

attending physician and three other doctors
OF long experience, that the sufferer must die
After days of intense pain. it seemed that
the fnal end was approaching. The child
was in it's grand fathers arms, and was ap-
parently choking to death from the accu-
mutation OF matter in the passages leading to
the lungs. Its paroxysms were violent, as
it struggled to force out the diphtheric accu-
mutation which was slowly but surely clog
glng the lungs, and rendering respiration
more and more difficult. Finally the
protracted contest for life was ended The
child apparently ceased to breathe its pulse
Was gone, and its heart motiOnless The
doctors present pronounced life extinct the
limbs began to grow cold, and the blood
settled about his finger joints Preparations
were being made for laying out the corpse
when slight motion of the hands attracted
attention. Shortly afterward, the motion
OF the respiratory organs indicated that life

pieces were placed within lDe throat, which

became regular, the pulse resumed its beat
and the heart once more performed it's office
The ice treatment was continued and the
child, once dead, but now living. slowly
improved and has nearly rt covered. PHYS

and one seldom encountered in the nractice

THE HOOSAC TUNNEL.
From the New York Daily Bulletin.

Few engineering enterprises now in
in the United States possess
greater scientific interest than the costly
tunnel which penetrates the Hoosac
mountain,i in western Massachusetts. This
undertaking was begun, we believe, in
1848, but the progress of the work has
been 80 slow that the bore will not be
opened for passage of trains until 1872, at
the earliest. An important progress has
lately been made, however, in thecomple-
ton Of the great central shaft, which has
reached the grade of the tunnel, over l.
600 rect below the natural surface. This
will greatly facilitate the work, as it en-
ables the bore to be worked from the cen
tire outward, as well as from the ends in.
ward, and enables the contractor to dou.
bic. the regular working force of rock
men and laborers.
Before the work from the shaft toward
the ends can be undertaken, certain matl.
ematical calculations must be made,
which involve the successful discharge of
the most delicate and responsible profes-
sional duties which any eng leer was
ever called upon to perform-it being
necessary to lay down a line less than "a
feet in length at the bottom of a dripping,
dark shaft 1000 feet deep, SO that both
ends of the line, being projected, shall
coincide with the terminal points of the
tunnel. ca h being distant over 10000
feet from the centre of the shaft. To in.
crease the initial difficulty, the top of the
shaft is on the summit of rugged noun
ia n, from 1900 to 1900 #. above the
grade of the tunnel at its termini. 1t is,
therefore, no slight responsibility that is
incurred by the engineer who assumes
the charge Of this delicate operation. To
facilitate the correct performance of this
duty colossal transit instrument has
been constructed at the cost Of the State
of Massachusetts, which is the most per
feet ever made. The most accurately
verified lines have been laid down over
the mountain, extending long distances
beyond in both directions to the tops OF
the neighboring mountains. By the &C.
curacy of this instrument and it's manip.
nlation the line of twenty seven feet-the
! transverse diameter of the shaft-will be
permanently defined, requiring wonderful
exactness, and from its extremities the
| "plummet alone can reach the bottom
of the shaft. These plummets must, o
necessity, be heavy and beautifully poised
and will require to be suspended in oil
to produce perfect rest and protection
from the faintest vibrations of the air
The most delicate cords, consistent Will
strength, must be used to suspend them
and after all is done that science can sug
gest-being correct as to the theory
it is easy to see how delicate and diff
cult will be the practical part fthe oper
alton, and what grave consequences would
follow the slightest error of alignment OF
so small base. 1t is quite possible
that such an error will be Inevitable, a.
the motion of the earth may affect til,
p'ummet to an extent sufficient to disturb
the calculations; but this fact has not yet
been demonstrated, and scientific authori
ties differ on the subject.

BOYS AND SMoKINa.-The French peo-
pie carry the practice of smoking to a
degree Of perfection which constitutes it
almost fine art The men smoke, the
women. and the boys smoke. Whether
the girls and babies smoke, we do not
know, but they have so few of them that
it does not perhaps make much difference
whether they do or do not. The effect of
smoking on boys is said by an old medi
cal writer, who has been investigating
the subject, to be most favorable to the
development, not of manly, noble,
healthy character, but of pallor, anemia
palpitation of the heart, diminution of
the normal quantity of red globules, dys-
pepsys want of intelligence, and q want
ing, more or less decided, for strong
drink
The Information must be decidedly
gratifying to the Swans of science who
have so often proved tobacco to be so
wholesome narcotic. Added to former
evidence, it will make an argument so
strong that even that enthusiastic laborer
against its use, George Trask, will perhaps
see the folly of doing any more, and give
up his work of distributing tracts broad

Of course they will not do it, It's effect
on French boys is incontcstible. What
better evidence do they want that they
can use it? And then. again, this same
authority has noticed very strong OBJ
lection to breaking IF He says: "Thoee
who abandon tie practice before any or
ganic lessons are produced perfectly re
cover their health This is unfortunate.
Why should boys wish t. be so unlike
other people as to be healthy? IF they
are sickiy. they can be petted and pam
pered, escape work, and die and 90 ont Of
this naughty world cary But seriously,
why Go boys smoke? Because the exam.

the most perfect imitators in the world
They like to try their hand at what they
see others doing. Set them a good exam
pie and they will follow it. Set them a
