RECOMMENDATIONS, ETC.
The Board recommend an appro-
Priation OF s2l 200 for necessary i'm
provements in the different Homes
the various items being specified in the
report.
In orderto promotc uniformity with
the schools of the State and secure the
highest educational advantages for the
children, we also recommend that 1t
be made by law the duty OF the Su-
peiintcndent of Public Instruction
twice during the school year to cx-
anime the teachers and schools at the
several Homes and report their con
dltion to the trustees with such i'm.
provements and suggestions as he may
deem proper; and also that on his Ger.
titicate the benefit of the State Uni
versity and of the Agricultural Col
lcge be extended to those qualified to
enter those institutions.
Observing from newspapers that n
bequest had been left by Horatio
Ward, 4 citizen of the United States,
residing at the time Of his death in
London, for the benefit of soldiers
orphans of the loyal States, we for
warded an application with all the re-
quste papers duly certified before
the British Consul at Chicago, Illinois,
to the attorneys IN the case, tor what
ever share OF the legacy that might
properly tall to the Soldiers Orphans
Home of Iowa. The attorneys ac-
knowledged the receipt OF our appli-
cation, but have offered no further in
formation upon the subject.

Origin of Chess.

The story Of the origin OF the game
Of chess Is something alter this wise;
An ancient ruler wcaried with the old,
worn out sports of the period, offered
q reward Tor the invention Of game
which should combine amusement and
instruction. His Grand Vizicr there
upon, after long study, invented the
game of chess, as being pastlmc and
az teaching in cpltomc the art of con-
centrating forces, attacking. defending,
rctreating, etc, as applied to military
tactics. The King was so delighted
with the game that he told the Vizler
TO name his own reward. The wise
man replied that for his own reward he
would only ask for certain number
of kernels of corn, on the following
plan: 1.-TWO kernels tor the first square
on the chess board, for the second,
s for the third and SO on up to the six
ty-fourth square, the number Of kernels
for each square being double that tor
the preceding one. The King laughed,
granted the modest request; but, upon
computation it was discovered that, not
only was there not SO much grain III the
kingdom, but the uhole worH could
hardly produce, in haf score of years,
the necessary grain to make good the
hangs promise.
Allowing a hundred and twenty
grains of corn to the ounce, and 56
pounds to the bushel, the amount re
quired to fill the bill would be II ,343,-
SAC, ,416, ,SS7-serenteen trtllson, three hun-
dred and .forty-thres billion, fire hundred
and forty-s,r million, four hundred and sir
teen thousand, eight hundred and etghty-ser
en- bushels, and some odd pounds over.
The number of grains would be $685.

A NOVEL METHOD OF CATCHING MIcE.
Having, on several occasions, noticed
some mice in our seed barrels. l be-
thought me of some method how l
might trap the little intruders; they
having gained entrance through the
chime. TO kill them with stick was
impracticab'e, as the little fellows
would invariably escape as soon rs the
lid was raised TO any height. | then
thought Of saturating piece Of cotton
with chlorotorm and throwing it in and
then closing the lid. On raising it
again in few minutes. l would find
that lite had almost or quite departed.
Having, on one occasion, lett the piece
of cotton in the barrel, on again re-
turning | found three little mice with
their heads in close contact with it, and
dead. In the evening | saturated an
other piece and pla,ed it in the barrel,
and, on opening it the next morning,
to my surprise l found nine dead mice.

Tools to Work With.

The want OF proper books and suf
ticient number of them, in our com
mon schools, is one of the greatest i'm
pcidments to the progress of our pu-
pills. That pupils are admitted into
our schools with readcrs-onc or two
series-too difficult for them, is fact
that most teachers will verify. Some
times, every two or three pupils at
tempt to study their different lessons
from one book, and thus weary them
selves and teacher (t he will admit of
it) for an entire term OF school and
accomplish but little. When they
have once gained the privilege from
their parents, or a previous teacher,
of buying another book, it is quite dif
iicu,t to get them to return to one Of a
lower series, without discouraeipg
them. 1t ma, be done with great
care, but if you must resort to mere
force and prohibit them from reading
or reciting in such series, it is nearly
always productive of evil. Children
are like the rest Of us; they wish to
advance rapidly, and, if correctly, we
would not OBJECT; but it is necessary
that they should be restrained II
many cases. How may it be done?
School Officers and parents can great
ly aid teachers in avoiding and remov-
ing the difficulty. School Officers. by
selecting series of readers, not ex-
ceeding four books. Parents, by not
satisfying their children's peculiar
whim, Il must lave new book be-
tore commence this session of school,"
and teachers by reasoning with their
pupils and persnading them of the ne
cessity OF completely mastering one
work before they take up another.
How annoyin. it is to see two, and
sometimes three, pupils endeavering to
study from one book Parents have
it in their power to remedy this, by
procuring proper books and a sufi-
cient number OF them. And, l might
add. that they will never have cause
to regret the purchasing of proper
school books for their children.

Hence, we are to conclude that the
fact announced in the above, is fear

And hence we are to further conclude
that it would be safer to marry an old

we to learn that it is safest not to wed

Az AR4B SERMoN.-One morning
Eddyn Ettendi ascended his pulpit to
preach, and addressing his. hearers;
said: 20 believers. know ye what l
am going to talk about:' They replied
that they did not. "Well then,' re-
joined he" since you do not know. do
you suppose I am going to take the
trouble to tell you?" Another morn
ing he again appeared in the pulpit and
said: 80 believers, know yc not what
l am going TO tell to you?" They re-
Piled that they did. II you know 1t,
them" said he,"I need not tell it TO
you; and he descended from his pull
pit, and went his way. His auditors,
puzzled what to do, at length agreed
that, il he again made his appearance,
some OF them would say that they did
know, others that they did not. And
again Eddyn Etfendi mounted into the
pulpit, and said 0 Musselmen, know
ye what l am going to say to your
10 which some replied: I'VE k iow;"
others, I'VE know not "Goodl' re-
turned he, "let those who know tell

TIE NATIONS THAT EAT Mosr.-Dr.
Beard, in Hours at Home, says: The
ruling people OF the world, who have
from time to time shaped the destinies
OF humanity, have always, SO tar as can
be asccr,alned, been liberal feeders.
Among modern nations the greatest
eaters are the English, the Germans,
the French and the Americans-the
ruling people OF our civilization. The
diet OF tho Spaniards and Italians is
notably less substantial .han that of
the English and Germans, just as their
brains are less active aud original
The Americans are, on tho average,
the greatest eaters in the world Said
Carlyle to Emerson, "The best thing
| know Of that country is, that in it q
man can have meat for his labor"

Tact in Teaching.

1t is not sufficient, as we all know,
to have a mind well stored with knowl-
edge, to become successful teacher.
ENeither Is it sufficient to be able to
communicate our ideas inteliigibly to
others, that constitutes good teacher;
although both of these attainments are
indispensable; yet, there is much more,
necessary to enter INTO his compost
ton, to qualify him for his work. In
addition to the Ingredients already
named, he must have, also, Q good
knowledge Of human nature, pene-
tratlng conception that can, at a
glance, discern the workings of thought
in the pupils mind, analyze their every
idea and know how to train the child
to tell correctly what it has learned.
A teacher of native tact, will have,
not only the qualification Of penetrat-
ing the thoughts and imaginations OF
his pupils, but will be able to martial
them to surmount difficulties and en-
counter error. Then, when truth is
found, dressed in any garb, they will
secure 1t at any price and retain it at
all hazard. The teacher Of tact will
"work himself into tie good graees"
Of his pupils and secure, not only their
respect, but also their love and cheer
tul obedience. knowledge, to be per
manent, must be addressed to the un.
dersianding. Many teachers make a
mistake in overlooking the memory OF
their pupils, by stuffing their minds
with great deal of rubbish, often
found in the text books, which is never
of any practical benefit in after life
The teacher OF tact is model teacher,
having experience, knowing just when
and where to act and what to do
adapting the best means to secure
the best ends, under all circumstances.
The successful teacher must trim hls
sail SO as to bc able to tact his vessel
to catch every favorable breeze. And
yet, with all these attainments there
are certain few, in almost every
school, who cannot be reached with
any other tact than that OF the birch
tact, while the cooperative influence
Of the parent is Withdrawn from the
teacher
Many persons can keep school; but,
alas. how few have the tact to teach
school. j. McCLUNG.
