ST. NICHOLAS FOR APRIL

Is genuine spring number, filed with
fresh and timely articles. The very
brightest and sweetest spring poetry i'll
English literature is represented in Lucy
Larcom's ''Songs of Spring ;" and Mr.
Brooks fine article on ''Birds'' forms a
fitting welcome TO the return of the
merry songsters. Easter, too, is remem-
bered by pretty tablet, and by q very
interesting article, ssCurious Customs of
Faster" describing the various ways in
which the day is observed among differ
ent nations ; and April Fools Day gets
its share of attention in a short article,
with funny illustrations. Several stories
in the number also seem to have been
selected for their sprightly character
''Sam Clemson, the Second," by Mr..
Frank r. Stockton, Turning into Cats, ,"
with four beautifully executed pictures,
and CLANS Gottenlieb, the Fiddler"
being each fully of fanciful johty.
Yet all this spring-time lightness is
admirably seasoned with articles of o
more serious tone, but equally we'll
written. Besides Mr.. Brooks Bird

andSusan Coolidge's illuminated Text"
furnish practical information in pleas
ant way. Julia G.. r. DORIS beautiful

his confidence in his superiors it has
detrimental effect On his character, even
when they can only discover obedience
and amiableness in his suppleness. A
certain degree OF characterization betrays
a higher degree of originally healthy
natural gifts.
IL. That the teacher may arouse and
stimulate the scholar and direct him to
self-action, we demand of him cheerful
ness, thoroughness, disciplinary power,
perfect knowledge of the subjects taught
hence free teaching without a book, and
the ability not only to bring the matter
into dialogical form, but also to give to
his questions the stimulating power of
novelty and interest.
II. All instruction should stimulate to
mental activity. The value of instruc-
ton Is lot measured by the mass of the
things learned, but by the degree of self
action developed in the pupil. The en-
tire school should be series of gym
nastlcs for the youthful mind.

9th, 119S At the early age Of FIVE years he was
left fatherless, aud NJ the age of nine years was
thrown upon q cold world to work out his own
destiny. Possessed OF an active mind, he so
improved all his opportunities "a to become fit
ted for teaching al IS years. and spent the three
subsequent years IN varied pursuits as teach
ing and manual labor in his severe struggle to
work up to his manhood. At 10 years an hem
orrage ofthe lungs compelled him TO desist from
the severer occupations of life and le turn
ei his attention TO the stuey of medicine. IN
1928 he graduated from Castieton, Vt, Medical
School, took diploma and & Tife-biiss lama

was spent especially in Franklin Co., i. Y.
where for 20 years he practiced medicine, and
earned reputation for success that placed him
high among the practitioners CT that part of
the State. There also he losi his wire-the
mother Of his children. Thence ne came to
Manitowoc county 20 years ago this last Deeen-
Der, and here closed his long, worried, weary
life of almost fouyscore years March 2sth, 1877.

GLOOMY PROSPECTS FOR VESSEL OWN
ERs,-Ihe general freight agents of the
trunk lines are expecting to receive
orders from their managers to reduce
rates to the seaboard. It is thought
that no change Will go INTO effect before
the 18th OF April. The rates will be re-
duced by degrees to twenty-five cents
per one hundred pounds for grain. At
these figures the owners of lake crafts
will be able to carry, but will have no
margin to speak of. Railroad men al
ready begin to boast that the lake YES
sells shall not be allowed to compete
successfully in the transportation of
grain, while many owners of vessel
property say they will not put their yes
sells into the carrying trade if freights
from Chicago to Buffalo go down to last
years figures. Chicago Times.

RESPONSIBLE FOR HER CoNsoRT-An
important marine suit brought in the
United States District Court at Detroit
was recently decided by the Judge,
which, if sustained by the higher court,
will establish q new feature relative to
the responsibility of vessel owners. In
the fall OF 1876 the propeller Elmira,
having III tow barges Fl. & c., George
Kelley and II. a. Chamberlain, started
from Buffalo to Chicago. Stopping at
Cleveland on the afternoon of Nov. %,
the propeller left the barges at anchor
outside while she went in for fuel
Toward evening the wind began to blow,
and the captain Of the Elmira concluded
to wait and see what kind of a night it
would be, neither going for the barges
nor senaing q tug for them, but left them
to ride out the storm as best they could.
The Kelley and Chamberlain according
ly went ashore. and the latter became a
total wreck. The owners brought s1lit
to recover damages to the amount of
SO, eco, and have just Obtained verdict
in their favor for the full amount, which,
if eventually sustained, establishes the
fact that propeller is holden respon-
sible for the proper protection of the
cOnsort accompanying her.

AT the burial the other day of the
Queen Dowager Amalia Auguste of
Saxony, the Imperial Prince Frederick
William, of Germany, was the most
conspicuous figure. lie seemed to
tower above all his royal companions in
stature, and surpassed all in dignity of
carriage and manly beauty. When the
funeral procession in the church ar
rived ut the altar. the collin was car
ried down into the royal vault, which
was hung with black velvet, on which
sparkled the royal crown. The Princes
alone witnessed the melancholy and
impressive ceremony in the interior Of
the vault. The Bishop knocked at the
Utmost door, whereupon n deep, sepul-
chral voice answered: "Who troubles
the quietness of the dead?" The
Bishop: "a Queen wishes to enter"
The voice: ''Is she worthy of this
sacred abode?" The Bishop having
replied in the affirmative, the door was
opened by unseen hands. This ceremony
reminds one of the burial of dead Egyp-
tian Kings.
