Requirements or a Good Teacher.

a correspondent desires to know
our ideas as to the requirements
necessary to make good teacher
There are none more competent to
answer the question than they who
have Ito use common expressiOn)

teacher and tutor. Briefly, then, art
follows scicnce-it is the teachers
brain-shadOw of scienctiflc substance
gathered there, the power they hold
to impart the halo which must pene-
trate the Enlightened intellect, the
golden grain to be planted therein.-
Teachers require first Of all a good,
noble heart, II genuine love for the
studies before them, sympathy and
care for the pupils. They must study
each nature separately; pupils are
no more alike than flower gardens
Some require more attention than
others, and those geniuses, like holly
hooks and poppies, that seem to spring
up spontaneously, are not half so
pleasing to the careful gardener as the
viOlets and rOsebuds that he has
shielded through the storm. The
teacher who does not possess the
above characteristics has certainly
missed his calling. A practical, or,
In other words, a mechanical teacher,
whose mind embraces within its
scope the rudiments of sciences, as a
perfect machine possesses the wheels
and pulleys necessary to make 1t such,
without the all-important pre-requis-
lite, utility, is less adapted for the
profession than the one whose educa-
tional qualifications are less brilliant,
but whose heart beats in unison with
that of its pupil. l.-Gaiena Gazette.

4 Clever Deception.

\ church i'm Prussia was used us a
magazine for provisions for soldiers,
but great care was taken OF the high
altar on account of the beauty of its
construction. A rumor spread abroad
that the altar was mysteriOusly illu-
minated every night, and thrOngs OF
people gathered about the church,
The commandant ordered the key
and with II lantern explored the
church, but nothing was found to
clear up the mystery, but as soon as
the church was empty, the alter and
whole church were again illuminated.
The cOmmandant issued a prOclama-
ton offering II reward to any one
who could unravel the mystery. For
two days no one claimed the reward,

A Startled Bridegroom.

Not many weeks ago, Il wealthy
and middle-aged bachelor of San
Francisco espOused one OF the fairest
daughters Of that city, and the we'd
ding was celebrated in one of the
most fashionable churches, and the
presence OF the creme de la creme of
San Francisco society. The bride
groom was Forty-niner, and he had
once BEEN anything but q sober and
industrious citizen. There had even
been rumors to the effect that when
he took the overland journey he left
behind in "the States" a wife and
two children, and these rumors were
awkwardly revived when his recent
marriage was first announced. But
nothing came Of tho gossip. The
FOrty-niner was now undeniably rich
and respectable, and people were gen.
orally disposed TO pass over his ante
cedents without subjecting them to a
scrutiny that might prove disagreed
BILE. And so the wedding-day. ar
rived.
When the Forty miner and his bride
turned from their places in front of
the altar, after the clergyman had
pronounced them man and wife, the
spectators were astOnished to see
tall, dismal-lOoking and sable-habited
man rise from place in one of the
front pews, approach the bridegroom
and gently tap him on the shoulder.
The effect of this proceeding on the
FOrty-niner was rather singular, for
his cOuntenance assumed CHASTITY
expression, and he quickly resigned
his newly-made wife to her friends
and turned anxiously to the stranger,
who simply remarked: 81 wish to
talk with you moment privately,
SIR" The Forty-niner struggled hard
to conceal his emotion, and finally
said ~ assure you, sir, that-that

looking gentleman, firmly; "please

did so, while the assembled company
busted itself winking and whisper

finished. There was a chorus of fe-
male shrieks, and general rush of
gentlemen us the FOrty-niner was
observed to seize his inter-
viewer by the collar and kick him
into the aisle. The enterprising Gem
etery agent was quickly disposed of,
the trembling bride regained her
color and cOmposure, and thereafter

A Missing Link.

Mr.. Darwin's "missing link" has
at length been found, to judge from
an account of dwarfish human beings,
said to resemble race of monkeys,
which is given i'm the Siam Weekley
Advertiser: ION the Island of Bor-
neO has been found certain race of
wild creatures, OF which kindred va
rieties have been discovered in the
Philippine Islands, in Terra del FuegO,
and in South America. They walk,
usually, almost erect, on two legs,
and in that attitude measure about
four feet in height. They construct
no habitations, form no families,
scarcely associate together, sleep in
caves and trees, feed on snakes and
vcrmin, ana ants eggs, and on each
other. They cannot he tanned or
forced to any labor, they are hnnted
and shot among the trees like the
great gorilla, of which they are Il
stunted copy. When captured alive,
one finds, with surprise, that their
uncOuth .jabbcring sounds are like
articulatc language. They turn up a
human face to gaze at their capt0rs,
and females show instincts Of mOdcsty
in fine, these wretched beings are
men and women"

kindlIng n Fire without Matches.

Sir Samuel Baker tells us of new
way of kindling fires, which he often
tried when in the desert wilds OF
Africa. Having first collected an
abundance of dry leaves and grass
and small twigs, he would brui,e
with stick about half teaspOOnful
of gunpowder; in this he would rub
a rag of dry cotton or linen colth un-
til it was perfectly blackened. Then
ne would place an end of this rag in
the pan of an unlOaded musket-re-
member that, boys, unloaded, there
should be no carless handling Of fire.
arms-and pull the trigger. In an
instant the rag would unite and burn
fiercely. Then quickly gathering the
rag and few of the dry twigs to-
gether i'm his hand, in the form of q
bouquet, he would swing it rapidly
round to make good draught of air,
and the whole would be i'm blaze in
moment. Laying this flaming
bundle of twigs on the ground, our
ingenious traveller would place over
il some sticks of wood, and then
cautiously pile on larger sticks until
fine, roaring, cracking fire was
obtained by which he could warm
himself, drive away the swarms OF
mosquitoes, and roast wild birds, OF
toast thin slices of hippOpOtamus
meat for his evening meals.

The Gram Prospect.

The prospect for high prices for
American grain this year is very good.
The news from Europe is that there
Is a serious grain deficiency in that
country, and the fact that the Old
World must supply its lack almost
entirely from this country can not
fail to effect the market here. The
shipments of all kinds of grain from
this country since January lst have

years, aggrcgating to March 7th, from

of nearly 100 per cent. This marked
increase is also noticeable from Au-

was plentifully supplied. Conscious

Providing for Ills Own Burning.

One of the wealthiest persons in
New York has been moved by the
new impulse in favor of cremation to
append n cOdicil to his will making
this method of disposing of his re-
mains obligatory upon his heirs.
Probably he is one who has won
riches by avoiding waste, and he
wishes to eyemplify the spirit Of
economy to the last limit in this
world. Accordingly, he has directed
that the unavoidable dissolution OF
his remains into gaseous and earthly
matters be hastened by bnrning I'M
stead of retarded by burial, thus util-
izing his bOdy's material directly for
the vegetable kingdom and other
wise. Then comes the specific dircc-
tions. IIia death is assurded, the
body Is to be injected with petroleum,
cresilite, alcohol, or Its disinfccting
equivalent, laid in an iron coffin, and
after a burial service by any enlight-
ened clergyman taken away to the
Manhattan Gas Works and paced In
one of the retorts, which, shall be
closed for three or four hours and the
usual heat applied. The nitrogenOus
compounds are to be collected as am
monia, and the hydrocarbons bo con-
tributed to municipal illumination,
only the carbonic acid gas being
allowed to pass off unutilizcd. IF
any respectable party or association
wish his ashes, they can have them,
but II no desire Is expressed then
they shall go to tho enrichment OF
one of the fiower-beds near the Cen
trail Park music stand. Thus crema-
tion promises among other advanta-
ges to give tcstators larger liberties,
and to the benefits of the living In
stead OF taking away from them. and

The biggest Flower In the World.

In some of the East India islands,
where so many queer things grow, Is
found n flower that measures q full
yard across. Yet it has only cup
like center, and five thick, fleshy
petals. Seen from a distance, through
the dark-green leaves of the vines
among which IL grows, the rich wine
tint of the flower, flecked with spots
of lighter shade, ii is said to impart
a warmth and brilliancy of color to
the whole surrounding scene. But
the nearer the observer comes--all
eagerness to see more closely SO Won
derful u flower-the less does he like
1t. Not that the color Is less beautiful;
but who cares for beauty in human
beings, when its possessor is malic-
ious, disdainful, or untruthful I? and
who cares for beauty In flower,
when the odor is disagreeable? So,
Notwithstanding its proudly brilliant
color, and its great size, the yuftesid-
arnOidid will never be admired, for
we are told that its "Odor is intOler-
able, poluting the atmosphere for
many feet around. Another bad trait
of its flower-characte Is, that IL Is too
lazy to support itself, but lives upon
the labOrs of Others. I'm the forests

flower grows without other trouble

are all the while collecting from the

vine cannot help itself. 1t can moi
