READING.

1t is q fact that most Of the advan-
ced pupils in our schools, and, if the
truth is told, many Of the teachers
also, know comparatively little about
authors. Probably the principal cause
OF this is the scarcity of biographical
works. Now there i, q way of getting
some works of this kind. Let the pu-
pills Of the school get up an exhibition,
charge an admission fec Of Twenty-Five
cents, and they Will have money
enough to buy a biographical encyclo-
pedia Study the biography of Arneri-
can authors first The following plan
has been tried and found to be q good
one. Suppose the class is one in the
fourth reader, and is about to read
LongfelloW's poem, Paul Revere. Ap-
point two Of the class to give q short
biography Of Longfellow, including
place Of birth, education, Sc; two
Others to give the historical facts con-
nected with Revere's Ride; and require
each member Of the class to be able
to name another poem by the same
author, and give quotations.
When this is done, analyza the
thought thoroughly and last Of all
read the poem.

DR.. Chaplin, ii lecturing not long ago
on The Day Of Judgment controyert-
ed the doctrine Of eternal punishment,
and said every day was day Of judg-
ment for sin committed. A day Of
Judgment came to, Rome when it fell:
to France Wien it suffered in the
throes Of revolution. The day of iudg-
ment'was not any particular day. 1t
went on continually. Hell was crea-
ting greatrdeal Of discussion. He
labored not 50 much to get the people
out Of hell as to set hell out Of the
people. The only hell he believed IN
was q place Of MISREPRESENTATION where
men would be punished fol the pur-
pose Of purifying them with a view to
their ultimate salvation. Peoplesaould
6a more anxious To live pure lives and
do right shan worry themselves about
The existence of a he'll. People erro1-
eoQsly Iooked gp9A salvation as saliva
ton from hell. Salvation from sin
was what was needed,

Eulalia Perez, living in Los Angeles,
Cal, is probably the oldest woman in
the world. She is now 40, and still
uses her needle, having sent q piece Of
embroidery to a CHI urch fair about two
years ago. Her age is well authenti-
Gated, as it is on record that when the
church Of the Mission Of St. Gabriel
was built in 1771, she was q married
woman and the mother of several
children.

wi not be able to get there on account
Of the great distance to acoJk. And
th@5 the standard coe13atry teacher
would be lowered by the establishment
Of these schools, because the people

II no work Of the kind mentioned
can be obtained, a National fifth read
Ell will answer the purpose very well !;
it contains short biographies Of many
American and English authors, and
can be used TO great advantage.
The great fault with the reading Of
most pupils is a lack Of emphasis
hence teachers should pay particular
attention to this particular point.
Never leave a selection until the pupils
can analyze it, and read it we'll.

SCHOOLS AT MILITARY POSTS

Secretary McCrary, of the War De
partment has done a good thing, and
deserves credit therefore in establish
ing schools at all the military posts,
garrisons, and permanent camps in the
United States. for the benefit of the en-
listed men and the families stationed
at each point. The enlisted men are to
be instructed in the common English
branches, and especially in the history
of the United States, Chaplains are to
be superintendent of the schools, with
one or more assistant teachers detailed
from the enlisted men. The soldier
serving as All assistant teacher viii re-
ceive IS cents a day additional pay,
and be relieved from parade inspec-
ton drill and guard duty The neces-
sary school-books will be purchased
from the post fund. The children of
officers and soldiers may attend the
schools, as may also the children Of
citizens living at the post, but the lat
ter will be required to pay a small sum
into the post fund. The schools will
be inspected by an officer, who is to re-
port and suggest Improvements to the
War Department.

DEAL WORK.

ORAL WUHh.
Beleiyina as [ do that the funda-
mental principles of nearly every
branch of study taught in our com
mon schools may be best taught with
out the use Of text books by the pupils,
OF bya method which l call Coral
Work, it is not strange that / should
deem this subject worthy Of especial
attention.
Though there are advantages to be
gained by the use of this system, still
L ann not unaware Of the fact that it
has its attendant evils.
Let us notice some Of the advanta-
ges; First, the child learns to think
carefully at the very threshold Of the
work; he is obliged to form definitions
from the ideas he gathers, and in or
der to do this he must think, and there
is q sort Of triumph experienced in
finding a very good definition which
gives the child pleasure; he learns to
love to think.
Second, The child learns to anal
we and systematic knowledge, the
important parts are first brought OUT

the natural outgroWth Of the other
two; the pupil learns to think and en-
joys applying his mind, he learns to
analy1e ana classify knowledge and
hence he is thorough.

FARM GARDEN.--Farmers as aclass,
depend too much upon the products Of
the field to supply their tables when
their health, their enjoyments, their
physical and intellectual strength
would be advanced by the employment
of ali their dietary resources. The
garden is capable of furnishing a great
er variety of palatable human food
than the field, but the garden is sadly
neglected by q large majority Of farm

A snow white robin is in a store in
New York. 1t is a real Albino, and
it's dark eyes are surrounded by mar
row rim Of pink. Last summer a
German, while walking in Wh1testone,
L. l., saw robins nest in an apple
tree; on looking into it he saw four
young birds nearly iedged, one Of
which was white. He took them
home and reared them all. Three diff
fer in no respect from ordinary rob
bins; the fourth differs only in color.
Bird-fanciers say that Albino robins
are very rare: more so than the white
iblackbirds. Cleveland Herald.

p1resent-feeling that she had been insult

domestic woe, armed herself with horse
Whip, and proceeded to the department
where her husband works, and sent for
him to come out into the hall. Like 3

idea Of the nature Of the meeting that
awaited him. Then the wife went into
smother hall and sent for lady clerk 10
come and SEQ her. A response In person
vas quickly made, when the irate wife at
once drew her whip and laid it 90 with
good will and interest over the poor lit
lie clerks shoulders and face. The lat.

effectually defend herself. The affair
created but slight commotion, for the at
