homeward beneath the twinkling stars,

white samite, resting sweetly upon her
pillow with h0r unbound hair tossed
about her sleeping face, and angels
bending over her couch whispering
heavenly dreams. Perhaps at that

MAGNETIC SOAP

The Cheapest Soap that can be used for
tho following reasons;
lst.-ono bar will go as far as two of any
other.
2d.-Only half the usual rubbing being
required, there is saving OF moro
than the entire cost of the Soap IN
labor alone.
3d.-The clothes are made Sweet, Clean
and white without Boiling or Scald-
ing, thus all injury to them is avoid
ed. There is a saving in fuel and
hard work, and the washing is done
in about half the usual time.
1t is also guaranteed under penalty of
fifty dollars not to iniure the clothes or
hands, and as one trial will enable any
person to ascertain the truth of these
statements, it would never pay the pro-
prietor TO engage in an extensive system
of advertising and claim such decided
merit for his Soap unless he knew from
positive experience that it would prove to
be in every respect what is claimed for it.
This is also superior Soap for Toilet

KEEP THE BEST,

Millions Of sheep could be put upon
cheaper lands, where winter feeding NAV
be almost, if not quite, dispensed with.
Rye pasture can beprovided; abundance
of cheap hay can be put up shorts, bran
and screenings can be bought at the mills
for nominal price. By timely attention
during the summer and fall to keep the
sheep in condition, and by securing
abundance of cheap and proper food for
winter, the next clip may be produced
at less expense than usual. 1t is good
plan to sell out the improbable ones of
the flock. They can be disposed of better
while fat than when thin. Keep the bes,
and keep them in the best manner, and
they will pay you better and more GER
tainly profit than the raising of wheat
or even corn and hogs Freezing doesn't

WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT CORN

The following extract from a foreign
letter upon stock feeding, show how lit
tie the value of the chief grain of this
country is understood:
The dearness of oats is a disturbing
element in the rearing and feeding of
horses; there is evidently greater de-
mand fer the grain than supply.
French farmers, tempted by the high
price, sell all the oats they cultivate save
the smallest quantity for their draught
horses and colts, in order to enable them
not to lose the taste for that gain. This
is but the penny wise and pound foolish
doctrine, as only the animals fairly fed
will yield profitable return in work or
meal. The question is important for the
army and those companies-omnibuses
and carriers, that have numbers of
horses to support, and whose keep
trenches largely upon estimates or profit.
What is the best substitute for oats?
Maize Qndian corn), replies several COM
petent authorizes, and foremost among
these is NJ Klein, veterinary surgeon, OF
Berlin. Starting from the fact that
chemically maize is not only as nutri-
tive, but ought to be more so than oats
he naturally asks, why is it not so in
practice, since the adoption of maize
represents an economy in feeding of %
per cent. He has employed maize on a
large scale for feeding draught cattle
and with success. There are two OBJ.
jects to keep in view in the employment
of maize for horse feeding: Never give il
whole or IN the form Of meat; Let it be
broken, so that every grain will be divid
ed into five or six fragments, each at
tsched to a portion of the pellicle. In
this state horses will consume it with the
same relish as ifit were oats. Commence
by mixing the crushed maize, at the rate
of two pounds per day with the oats,
gradually augmenting the quantity,until
the oats be totally replaced. The horses
will benefit by the change, not only By
increased health, volume, weight and
but the mortality from acci-

METHODS OF CONCLUDING RECITA.

Reporting Method. Students make

reports occupy part Of the recitation

frequent, nor must they supplant the
regular work. They funish extra work
for bright pupils, and tend to relieve in.
equalities in classification.
III The Diagram Method. The outline
of the subject is presented in one con-
nected view. Pupils are thus trained to
fully grasp the subject examined. As
parts of wholes, each topic is better un-
derstood. Memory is greatly aided by
this systematic and logical arrangement.
The power of exhaustive analysis is in
valuable.
To begin with diagrams,to teach from
diagrams, and TO depend upon diagrams,
are pernicious educational errors. But
if rightly used, diagrams are of great
value. Subjects must first be presented
synthetically. We begin with the con
crete, and work up to classes, definitions
rules, and principles. So we must begin
with particulars, and work up to dia
grams.
III The Recip Ocal Method. Member!
of sections reci.e to each other. The
class is divided into sections of two ol
more each. At the signal, "Ones," the
ones recite to the other members of the
section. So with the twos, and so on.
With classes ofevery grade, this method
may be occasionally used to great advan
rage.
" The Concert Method The members
of a section or OF the entire class answer
together. To overcome timidity, to
quicken the interest, or to fix fact
this method may be used sparingly.
With young pupils, about one fourth Of
the recitation may be conducted in this
way. In oral instruction it may be used,
to limited extent. to great advantage.
By the use of the concert method,
Sfuss and feather" teachers make a great
shoe of work, but the results are not
creditable. Pupils must be reached in
dividually. In reading especially, this
method is likely TO be pernicious. Use
1t sparingly.
V The Uriting Method. Whatever
plan may be pursued, much written
work should be required The board,
ihe slate, and the paper, are important
educational means, and should be fully
utilized. The insipid and over sensitive

NOTED. The class room is no place for

energies of youth, requires enthusiasm,

VI The PromiscuOus Method. The
teacher propounds question, or names
a topic for discussion. All think, and
each pupil capable of graphing with the
question raises his hand. Each one ex-
poets to be called on at any moment
during the recitation. In this way the
fixed attention of each member of the
class is secured and held. Silently or
otherwise all the work is done by each.

HISTORY OF PICTURE.

Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known dwelt in the
same city. One delighted in delineating
beauty in all Its graces of tint, form and
motion. His potraits we're instinct with
the charm of physical vigor. The grace
ful, half-voluptuous outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicately
blended tints. On his canvass, the home
lest faces had an irresistible charm. The
other found pleasure only in depicting
weird and gloomy subjects. Above all,
did he excel in painting portraits of the
dying The agOnizing death-tllroe, the
ghastly face and form, were all depicted
with marvellous fidelity. There existed
between these artists the most intense
dislike. AT length this dislike culmina-
ted The beauty loving artist had been
engaged in painting the potrait Of q
beautiful woman. Connoisseurs pro-
nounced it the most wonderful piece of
art that had ever been produced. His
brother artist was jealous ofhis fame and
sought revenge. BY bribing the keeper
of the studio he gained access to the
picture each night. At first h.. was con-
tent to only deaden the brilliancy of the
complexion and the ewes, eface the
bloom from cheek and lip and paint
sflawdow on either cheek. Later his.
Strokes grew bolder and freer, and one
morning the artist awoke o ind the en-
tire outline of the potrait changed. He
could scarcely recognize in the emacia-
ted form and haggard countenance the
glowing conception he had embodied
The pallid face and expressionless ewes
he had attributed to lack of genuiness
In his materials but when the outlines
were changed he suspected the cause
and indigantly dismissed the keeper.

GOOD nature, and sterling common
sense, are exquisite personal qualities
and of inestimateable value to the teach
er. Many scholars who have passed
through all the grades of an advanced
classical education, do not escape the
merited reputation Of being pedants or
erudite egotists. Self-consciousness of
greatness is the most obllvious evidence
ofignorance to others.
The educator is daily brought in con-
tast with those who, by intuitive, judge
pretty accurately of the real, genuine
attributes of cultured manhood. Mere
book knowledge is not substitute for
that practical wisdom, derived from ex-
perience, and from actual contast with
human nature, which develops the i'm
portance of good sense, many of the vale
dictorians of our colleges shine, only, in
the realm of technical scholarship
When they 60 forth into the world of

their powers, they find that the keen,
discerning, practical, common sense

race for high and useful pre-eminence.
They may have talent for learning
themselves, but they are wanting the
tact requisite to impart it to others.

common sense, in contact with the world.
We would by no means underate the
value of the most advanced and accu-
rate scholarship; but what we do mean
to say is, that this alone will not take the
place ofsagacity and "aptness to teach,
