The second days session of the Teachers
Institute in this city was opened Saturday
forenoon at half past nine, by Mr. Stetson,
who gave instruction in Arithmetic, showing
his method of teaching by Simplifying the les
sons. He teaches fractions by a grouping
process that is easily acquired and readily
comprehended by the pupil. His style of
changing the names of fractions without alter
ing their values was illustrated upon the
blackboard. Prof. Allen then gave lessons
in Geography for advanced classes, having
dwelt upon the subject on Friday in its rela-
ton to primary classes. He showed the
practice that would help sharpen the intel
lect Of the pupil and brighten up his ideas
Would not weary and burden the mind with
words would not teach the minutia of
geography, only its salient points. After a
brief recess, Prof Allen continued for three
fourths of an hour in discussing the subject
of Reading. His ideas of what constitutes a
good reader were impressed upon the insti-
tute in the speakers usually interesting style,
and were apparently received with much
favor. He remarked that in reading he would
have the piece ''stick out" and the reader
himself far in the backgrounds would have
the subject completely cover the mere mouth
piece. The Institute then adjourned until
afternoon.
In the afternoon the time was occupied
principally by Prof. Allen in remarks upon
geography, grammar, spelling and reading,
recapitulating somewhat the main features
advanced in previous instruction The in
stitute adjourned finally at quarter past three
O'Clock, allowing teachers time to take the

We have before two copies of The
Yankee" weekly paper published in Boston
during the war of 1912. The editor halls the
embargo as a welcome guest as it defeated
the prospects of the internal as well as the
external enemy, and gave the friends of the
government new courage in the prosecution
of the war. They intended to starve the enc
my. into good conduct and whip hlm into JUS
tice. The editor says ''Our fine cottons will
now be wove and consumed in America, our
public vessels will get their compliment of
seamen with more despatch, privateers will be
increased the high prices of West India pro-
duce will hold out great temptations to them
q bring in sugar and coffee; they will be able
to enter our ports with more safety, as the
enemy will be obliged to leave our coast for
want Of supplies Another impetus will be
given to our cotton and woollen mills, already
thriving at the rate of 40 per cent. profit an
nually. This was before Mr.. Wells hydro
graphic report. The loss of our foreign
trade will be well compensated for by the in
crease of our home trade; our distlleres will
flourish this before the Maine lawl, while
the planters in the West Indies will become
bankrupt-and thus will England feel the war
and the embargo" And she did feel it, most
assuredly. In the agricultural department, It'll

hardly probable. The Colonel J. referred to

notorious. But we give the story as told by

addressing the Legislature, of which he was
then member in the interest of the kenne-
bee railroad, narrow gauge line, which had
few passengers and small revenue, gave the
Maine Central road, which had wider gauge
and larger business, the following sharp hit,
under cover of the familiar lines of Watts :
Broad is the gauge that leads to death,
And many ride together there;
But Wisdom shows n maroon gauge,
