Scholars seem To. understand at
once whether the teacher IL master of
the sitap ton or not.
For example,. let us examine the
working Of a cert ain school. The
teacher il at the school room long
before nine O'Clock; the speclalities
for the days work have been placed
upon the board; the room itself, shows
that some busy hand has been at
wosk there. arranging things with
neatest care tor the comfort Of the
pupils, and as these latter arriva til Fl.
tsa eher is ready to greet each withsa
pleasant "gooc morning" and JOIN
them in discussing the topics placed
apon the board. Promptly at nine the
bell calls all to order and the teacher
does nos spend Two or three min

looking Cor q suitable chapter to
read, but turns at orce to chaptaa
previously looked out and begins to
read. Next comes singing he"e
again the teaeher is previously pns'

piece TO be sung, thus avoiding that
awkward pause incident upon ask
ing, "what shall we sing 2 Opening
exercises dispensed with and ''books"
are at once announced and thus one
thing follows promptly, upon. the
other all the day through. The
teacher Of this school allows but one
thing at time and when he is hear
ing q recitation the pupils do not in
terrupt him with, "teacher where's
the lesson ?" teacher may speak ?"
"tsacher may | study my lesson
with Johnny?' Nothing tends so
much to make weak, depsn@entpu-
pills as this leaning upon the teacher
for everything. in several schools
we have observed that Immediately
following recess the pupils were al
lowed to find out "where the lesson
is" or to ''get pencll;" things
which should have been attended to
at recess, and in schools where pu-
pills are thus trained you always find
a lack of system and order. The
teacher is tardy, the house il not
properly warmed, the work for the
day is not mapped out, and all day
long the teacher goes frettiag and

HURRIED ALIVE.

One OF Ethe spectres of popular ignor-
ance Il that which ever and anon goes
the round of the public press relating
to some dreadful case of supposed burial
alive. Though it IS not impossible
that such cases may occur, all the prob
abilities are that their occurrence Is
exceedingly problematical. What would
be horrible case comes to u3 from
California-which is published in another
column-the body having been exhumcd,
upon " opening the coffin they were met
" with a spectacle most frightful to con-
" template. The boy coming to life in
" that narrow prison under the ground,
" struggled to escape the horrible incar-
" ccration, and in the effort had torn the
" skin and flesh from his face and dragged
" his hair out by the roots. In that dark
" conflict the poor creature had turned
" over in his coffin and died" Making al
lowance for the habit OF eXaggcration that
is too common in this country, and which

was nothing in the condition Of this corpse
not cxpainable by natural causes. The
gases that generate in the human remains
when confined in nearly alright coffin,
have sufficient force to comfort and turn
the body, Ia rub off patches of the decay
ing flesh. and even tear the grave APP
parel and coffin lining. Moreover,
it is scarcely possible that person,
as in this case, who had been lying as dead
for three days would, on recovering from
fit or trance, have the strength left to
make such demonstration rs are here de-
scribed while confined within the narrow
limits of coffin The general opinion of
those who have investigated these stores is
that no well substantiatcd nstanceo of burial
alive has occurred in modern times, Read
ers, therefore, should not give too much
crcdcncc to these SO frequently reported
case, of burial alive.

was taken down in a lifcle-s condition.

preparations made for bis burial On the
next morning many persons who were pre-
sent observed that that the remains were
yet warm. one Of whom. lady of the
neighbolhood, called particular attention to
the warmth Of the neck just before starting
to the cemetery. Medical advice WIS had
on the case, when the physician pronounced
the youth dead notwithstanding the singu-
lar appearance of tie body. The funeral
took place on Saturday, The 20lh Of June,
AMI more than fifty hours after what ap-
peared to be the death Of william Black
hurst. Several persons who had known the
deceased in life, went Il few days after to

ilict the poor creature had turned over in
his conlfin and died
In the preparation Of the body Of that
unfortunate boy for burial, on the 18th and
goth of June, the persons having the same
in charge used the utmost diligence, and
whatever, If any, mystery there be in this
| negligent or careless. One neighhor, pres
ent at the funeral, insisted that the boy
was not dead. but subject of suspended
animation. This same person related that
he had himself passed through similar
condition. having been at one time appa-
renty lfeless for the space of eight DAYS,
with much less evidence Of dormant yitali-
ty than he saw in the warm body of the
boy before him. But there was no doubt
in the minds of the friends and attendants
as to the death of William Riackhurst, and
he went into the grave aliyc.
