4 CHIMNEY Thar WILL Nor SMOKE
The Scientific american gives the fol-
lowing hint to those who would "build a
chimney which would not smoke" The
chief point is to make the throat not less
than four inches broad and twelve long;
then the chimney should be abruptly en-
larged to double tho size, and so continu.
ed for one foot or more; then it may DO
gradually taperel of as desired, But the
inside Of the chimney. throughout its
whole length to the top, should be plaster.
ed very smooth With good mortar, which
will harden with age. The area Of chin.
neg should be at least halfs square foot,
and aues not less than sixty square inches,
The best shape Of chimney is circular,
or mauy.sided, as giving less friction
(brick is the best material. as il isa non.
conductor aud tho higher above the roof
the better.

National Teachers Institute,

A circular, just received, calls our at
tention to this enterprise, the first of its
kind, we believe, in this section of country.
Of its need, no one can doubt; of its sue
cess we have no fear. It iscto be held at
the Howard University, in the city of
Washington. 1t is sanctioned by the
Board of Trustees, and will be under the
general management of Prof. A. l.. Bar
ber, M. A., principal of the Normal de-
partment of that institution. The location
is most beautiful and healthy, OH the range
of hills north of the city, away from the
heat and dust the rooms are delightfully."-
cool, even in the hottest weather. 1t is a
good place in which to rusticate.
The Institute commences July lst, and
continues five weeks, closing August I'd.
The scheme of instruction is comprehen-
siye, including rapid reviews eff the COM
mon English branches, with special view
to methods of teaching them methods of
giving object lessons, including lessons on
objects, forms, inventive drawing, size,
color, place, weight, sound, animals,
plants, human body, and moral instruc-
ton /; lectures and familiar discussions on
the foregoing topics, and on school govern
ment, discipline and kindred matters also,
lectures on natural philosophy and chem
istry, with experiments, and on physiology
and hygiene. Higher branches can also be
pursued.
The corps of instructors is complete, and
comprises Prof. Barber, whose early and
constant connection with the University
has given him wide reputation; Miss
Fanny M. jackson, who, since Prof. Bas-
sctt went as the representative of our Gov
ernment to Hayti, has most successfully
managed the Institute in Philadelphia, win
ming golden opinions for her talents and
enthusiasm Miss Defransa A. Hall,
graduate of the celebrated Oswego Train
ing School, and for several years critic in
the practice school there.
Mr.. John H. Cook, NJ. A., LII. b., for
years connected with the Educational De.
partment of the Freedmen's Bureau, and
now its chief clerk /; also the following dis
tinguished scientific and literary lecturers
and instructors, viz: Prof. Joseph Taber
johnson, Prof. Charles b. Purvis, Prof.
William G. Tilden and Bella G. Barrows,
NJ. ID. If anything more is needed to fore
cast the success of the enterprise it is found
in the promise, that other lecturers and in.
structors will be employed as needed, and
in the terms and expenses, which are ex-
ceedingly favorable and moderate.
The pleasure trip to Mount Vernon, free
to full members of the Institute, and at
moderate cost to others, will be an attrac-
tive feature to many.
We earnestly counsel all our readers
who are engaged in the important work OF
teaching, to send at once for circular and
for full information concerning this Insti-
tute, and to make arrangements to spend a
part of their summer vacation in fitting
themselves better for their responsible
positions, that they may command greater
influence, and secure higher pay for them
selves, while, at the same time, they more
wisely and successfully train the rising
generation.

MILITARY EXCURsIoN.-We thank
Mr.. S. w. Farrar, for an invitation to
accompany Company G, First Virginia
Volunteers, on their excursion to West
Point on the 9TH instant. The organization
is making all suitable preparations for a
good time on the occasion, and we have no
doubt they will have it. One feature of
the affair is deserving of special mention.
No person under the influence of liquor
will be permitted to enter the enclosure of
the hotel grounds. If such rule were
adopted and rigidly enforced on all similar
occasions, it would not only conduce to
the pleasure of all concerned, but render
such demonstrations vastly more popular
than they are.
