Prospects OF Another Change or

LONDON, March ia letter to the
Times from Pers dated March 9Th, says
many of the prisoners who were arrested
tor alleged completely in the plot Of
Midhat Pshs, have been liberated.
Kewal Bey, Midhsdt's secretary, is still
imprisoned and is examined daily by the
magistrates, The sudden fit of terror
which disorganlzed the whole govern
ment and placed the sovereign at the
discretion of little palace clique is
hereby shown to continue. The Sultan S
council ia now more than ever haunted
by fear of plots. The prevailing popular
idea is that party strongly attached to
Murad Efeudi, is busy spreading reports
of his complete recovery, and claiming
his right to restoration. Murad's sdner-
ents declare that both the Turkish and
foreign doctors were unanimous that two
or three months repose would completely
restore his reason. Their predictions
have been iully realized. Murad
is now far more ut Tor

keliOgg's Case.

WAsHIsGToH, March l3. Senator
Morrow, chairman OF the Privileges and
Elections Committee, says the majority
report o. that comm ittee on the Kellogg
case, although prepared will not be pre-
sented TO the Senate to-day, and the
views of the minority cannot, Of course,
be submitted before the majority report.
The reason for the delay, II is conjec-
tured, is that owing to the absence OF
Republican Senators, the Democrats con-
stitute resrly or quite majority. There
is no other business ready for action by
the Senate, which will have to await
nominations or other executive business.

LIFE INSURANCE.

The subject of Life Insurance is just
now attracting general attention,
and very properly too, we think. 1t
is high time the people were thorough
ly informed as to the management of
these Institutions. The many evil
dences of bad faith that have been
brought to light in connection with
defaulting companies starts the ques-
ton whether there is any real benefit
to be derived from the whole system.
As now managed it certainly looks as
if the temptation to dishonesty and
fraud among the officials is too strong
for average human nature.
1t is, no doubt, in theory, a most
benificent system. which enables a
man for a trifiing sum to make pro-
vision for his family against untime-

SPELLING.

Oral spelling is failure, waste of
the time. While written spelling rec
itations are found in nearly every
school in Pierce county the methods in
many cases lack thoroughness or else
take too much time. The method CIV
en- may be used with states or black
board, but strips of paper three inches
wide, of suitable length, are best. A
lesson should consist of ten words, or
more. according to the ability of the
class.
l. Have each person write his
name at the top of his paper.
2. Pronounce words, have them
written by the class upon the slips,
and numbered.
3. Tell them to exchange papers.
4. Pronounce the words to be
spelled orally by the class in turn.
During this work those who find
missed words upon the papers should
indicate them by heavy underscore.
Or you may spell the words yourself
and have the pupils correct from
that. Call for definitions, derivations,
prefixes and rules of photography at
pleasure.
5. Tell each one to write his name
at the bottom of the paper in his pos
session, which he has just corrected.
This viii enable the teacher to detect
those who fail to correct misspelled
words, either through malice or dull
perceptives.)
6. Monitors will collect papers and
place them upon the desk.
I. The teacher should now look
over the papers and any missed words
will readily be detected by the under
score. Call the name at the head of
the paper, which is the name of the
one who missed tie word, have him
rise and spell the word orally. Also
require all missed words to be in
writing upon the next slip of paper
used. This part of the work should
never be omitted. If necessary.
change or modify any step but this
one, viz, the 7th.
s. The perfect papers may be re-
turned to the writers. The others
should be retained for weekly and
monthly reviews, which should include
the missed words.

ASALYzE the reading lesson before,

The Educational Weekly is very
useful, practical and interesting pa
per.
IT is sometimes advisable to take
the local papers for reading books,
when interest flags. Try it, if your
class is listless.
In is acknowledged by all qualified
to Judge, that small children should
not be kept in school more than four
hours per day.
THE teacher should place himself SO
that every pupil in the class il in
sight. Always sit or stand where you
can see the face of every pupil.

ly full. About ITO are registered.
Each teacher has the kind of work
for which he or she is best fitted, in
stead of particular sections in all
branches. This is sound philosophy.
The school is doing exceptionally good
work.
THOSE who desire to do their duty
in the way of letter-writing. will find
Townsend's work upon that subject
very valuable book. Every teacher
should, either in class, or general
exercise, tell his pupils something of
that art. Most people never write,
except in the form of letters. 1t is as
important as writing itself. Address
Edward Cook, Chicago, Illinois, for
terms.
The crying evil of reading classes, of
all grades, is position that renders
good tones impossible, and Injuries the
vocal organs, if utterance is persisted
in. The boy comes in from the ball
ground where he has been using his
voice 20 its utmost capacity in prop
er position, and drops his chin upon
his breast, puts his spine in semi
circular shape, and indistinctly NUT
tiers the words of the lesson. Surely
all know that this is wrong. Let that

you have conquered, the various inflec-
tions and tones, as the pure and oro-
