tits q vicious consequence of this
system that the most talented schol-
ars, from whom the world should prof
it most, are dwarfed instead Of being
developed-instead Of bling educated.
Having no call to study hard in order
to keep up with their classes, they not
only do not exert their full powers,
but they have no chance to find what
their full powers are, how much they
could do if they tried their best. How
different this from the training for the
Olympian games? In the case of those
who cannot learn the class lessons
we'll, the influence of the system is to
encourage shallowness. The tendency
on both classes is to produce sameness,
and that the ignoble sameness of me-
diocrity.
All other American institutions eX-
cept the cast-iron type of graded
schools and infexible old time colleges,
nurture individuality. Socially and
politically, every American is impelled
to excel his fellows; in the schools he
is merely to keep step with them.
But what would you propose? To
abolish the graded schools? No, but
to modify them by combining individ-
al instruction with class teaching.
For this purpose, as The Journal has
said before, let every large grammar
school, high school and college have
it's "ungraded roolns," in which the
more than average learner can use his
spare time in studies beyond his grade,
and the weaker students can receive
help suited to their individual de-
mand.-Educational, Chicago Evening

At daylight oh March %, during one
OF the most violent gales of the season
with the sea SO boisterous that it was
covered with foam, fishing boat
was discovered about three miles off
shore, in distress, by Miss Edith.
Quickly giving the alarm to her faith
er and two brothers, she urged them to
go, volunteering to take an oar herself
to assist the crew. 1t seemed as
though boat could not possibly live
in the mighty waves, but one was
launched, and, after a pull of two
hours, with seas breaking over the
small boat and threatening its des-
truction and the loss Of those on board.
they succeeded in reaching the wreck,
to find that one Of the crew who had
been clinging to the side Of the vessel
had become exhausted, and, letting 90
his hold, had been drowned. Another
sailor, however, was rescued as he was
about to give up, and was taken
ashore. Nor was this the first time
that the brave young girl had ventured
on an GRAND to save.-New York Tri-

SOLID-HOOFED SWINE,

A breed of swine in Texas are re-
markable for having solid hoofs. DR..
Elliott Coues has recently examined
specimens, and finds that "The animal
is completely solidungulate." In the
sole of the hoof there is broad, angu-
lar elevation of horny substance, which
curiously resembles the frog of q
horses hOof. "The breed is so firmly
established that no tendency to revert
to the tWo-toWed form is observable.
In case OF a cross between the solid
hoofed boar and a SOW of the ordinary
type, the majority of the progeny have
the popularity of the male parent.
DR.. Coues says that there is, in this
instance, a case of change from an
artlodactyle mammal to perissodac-
lyle (from even-toed to odd-toed). But
Prof. j. ID. Dana contends that the pig
is no less artiodactyle than before.
since, although the two toes are coales-
ced at their extremity, they are still
present, and the outer one of the two
equals the inner, which, he maintains.
is the characteristic of even-toed man.

How ENVELOPES ORIGINATED.-It
came about by accident. A Brighton
England stationer took fancy for
dressing his windows with piles of
writing paper, rising gradually from
the largest to the smallest size in use,
and to finish his pyramids nicely he
cut cards to bring them to a point,
Taking these cards for diminutive note
paper, lady customers were continually
wanting some of 'that dear little pa
pei" and the stationer found it advan-
tageous to cut some paper to the de-
sired pattern. But then there was no
space for addressing the little notelets
when they were folded, and after much
cogitation, he invented the envelope.
which he cut with the aid of metal
plates made for the purpose. The
sale increased so rapidly that he was
unable to produce his envelopes fast
enough. So he commissioned other
houses to make them for him, and thus
set going an important branch of the
manufacturing stationery trade.

HOW EVANGELINE WAS COM
POSED.

"Evangeline," Lonfellow's immortal
poem, is said to owe it's origin to the
following circumstance: Dining with
Hawthorne and another friend from
Salem, one day, after dinner, the friend
said: Il have been trying to persuade
Hawthorne to write story, based up
ON a legend of Acadia, and still cur
rent there, a legend of a girl who, in
the dispersion of the Acadians, was
separated from her lover, and passed
her life in waiting and seeking for
him, and only found him dying in an
hospital, when both were old" Long
fellow wondered that this legend did
rot strike the fancy of Hawthorne.
and said to him: eff you have really
made up your mind not to use it for a
story, Will you give it to me for a
poem?" To this Hawthorne assented.
and, moreover, promised not to treat
the subject in prose till Longfellow
had seen what he could do with it in
verse. And so we have "Evangeline"
IN beautiful hexameters,-a poem that
will hold it's place in literature'
while true affection lasts.

Curing Sheep-W orrying Dogs.

curing sheep-w orrying dogs, which we
think may be more effectual with
young dogs than old ones. It says
Wrap a narrow strip Of sheepskin,
that has much wool on. it, round the
dogs lower jaw, the wool outwards,
and fasten it so that he cannot get rid
Of it. Put this on him For q few times
daily, and there is chance that he will
become as thoroughly disgusted as ev-
er you could wish, with every animal
of the race whose coat furnishes such
odious mouthfuls; but prevention be
ing better than cure, pay great atten-
ton to yourodog's morals during the
Landing season. Dogs not led away by
evil cempanionship rarely commence
their depredations upon sober, full
grown sheep. In ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred, they have previously
yielded to the great temptation of run
