One Cause of Insanity.

DR.. Walker Kempster, of Oshkosh,
Wis, superintendent of the Insane Asy,
lum located there, recently read paper
before the popular Science Society, of
Milwaukee, in which he took the ground
that the increase of insanity is largely
due to the manner in which the minds
of children are injured by the common
school method of teaching. He in
Weighs against the unnatural attempt to
fill the minds of young persons with the
lessons of the textbooks, and dwells
with emphasis upon the injurious effects
of loading the memory only, without
the control and development of the
nobler faculties The bad effect of the
present system, he thinks, is especially
noticeable on the health of young girls.
In some schools the more advanced
pupils have to begin their studies at an
early hour and, with very brief inter
walls, are obliged to spend the day and
evening in mastering their tasks. DR..
Kempster thinks that this inevitably
produces a morbid condition of both
mind and body.
The first aim of education, " he con-
tinues, Should be to promote physical
health, for without this there can be no
healthy development of the mind The
next aim should be to exercise and train
the mind in such manner as to bring
forth its best powers Recreation, hi
larity, and activity are essential to a
vigorous mental condition, and there
should be no long continued exercise OF
the reflective powers. The great object
should be to prepare the young for the
useful duties Of life; and a much gre at
er number of hours should be devoted
to physical and industrial exercises and
recreation than to mental training.
The superintendent of the Boston pub
lie schools takes the same view of the
matter, and, in a report just issued,
Prof. Elliot makes the suggestion that
studies should be simplifed so that cost
ly, and often difficult, textbooks should
be done away with in a great measure
He believes that the system now in
vogue is too intricate and too high for
the masses of children, because they can
never make any practical use of much
they try to learn The plan he favors
would be to teach the pupils reading,
writing, geography and arithmetic we'll,
and, if any of them evinced a desire or
aptitude for other studies, it would be
we'll then to let them have such instruc-
ton in mature years from experienced
professors in high schools, but from
these he would eliminate every science
of which the pupils at best get but
smattering." For instruction in Ian
guages, astronomy, algebra, chemistry,
mechanics, natural philosophy, and sim
liar matters, he would have American
youth seek such colleges or universities
as can impart thorough knowledge
thereof, both theoretical and practical

THE SONS OF JUDAH.

The land of beauty and of Song
Unrivaled Palestine;
Where Sharon's Rose burst into bloom,
And honey blent with wine
What does not Man owe yet to her,
When like an amulet
She hung upon the Pagean world
A diamond cased in let?
The very laws that guide our feet
Through every blooming zone,
We're in her sacred courts preserved
On blocks of solid stone!
Nor is the lion Judah dead
His march is stately yet;
And many star of beauty beams
In lsrael's cOrOnet!
Her dark eyed daughters still are fair,
Her sons are stalwart still
Their arms stretch forth for every prize,
Nerved with an iron will;
Their names are written proud and high
In music and in art;
And Fame no high arena boasts
Where they have not part.
Through forums and through senate halls
Their Silvery accents roll.
And with Isaiahs burning fire
Enchant the human soul!
And Judah seems to bear aloft
Aladdins wOndrOus lamp,
While Earth, responsive, yields her gems
Where Judah's exiles camp.
Although they roam without land
From Salem darkly hurled
Her princes rule with magic hand,
The Golfers of the world;
They are a power the Gentiles feel
In every throbbing core
The strange influence of that tribe
That rOamS creation DER.
Imperial race! thy splendors gilt
The glimmering dawn Of Time,
When earth lay blushing i'm the arms
OF Eden's golden cline!
A brighter set those flames shall rise,
AT Salem's altar site,
When truth and Love shall join all hearts
In Freedoms blessed light.

Natural History.
This is a dog.
Do you see the dog?

This is dog.
Do you see the dog?
He looks as natural as life.
The dog is called, by some, mans
most faithful servant. One or two in
stances have been known where dog
frightened away thief or bit an agent.
They have also been known to bark at
the moon and thus prevent it falling
and dashing the earth to pieces If it
wasn't for dogs we shouldn' know what
to do with our old oyster-cans. You
can now ask any questions you desire.
$ How large is dog?"
" Well, that depends If he's running
away from you he looks about the size
of a gallon jug, but if he's coming at
you he looks as large as yearling calf.
Do dogs guard the house?"
Yes; particularly the kitchen door
Nothing hurts dogs feelings so much
as to have his master think he's waiting
for bones, instead of being there on
guard"
Can dog take a hint?"
Yes. AS soon as one sees farmer
coming across the fields with gun he
knows that killing sheep is over for that
morning, and away he goes.
Are dogs very strong?"
You'd think they could pull a saw
log to judge by the amount of bowling
they will do between dusk and daybreak,
but the minute boy wants a ride on
his sled the family dog is troubled with
heart disease and general weakness"
Can dogs find their way home from
long distances?"
It's according to the dog. IF it's one
you want to get rid of he can find his
way home from California. IF it's a
good one he's apt to get lost if he goes
around the corner"
Can dogs see in the dark?"
Some appear to, but instances are
not rare where dogs, commanded to rush
out and devour the fellow hooking wood
have rushed under the bed by mistake
and-stayed there. That's all about

tered piercing cry and leaped to her
feet
Come to me Berenice. am dying,
and would see you once more.
And through the wind and rain she
went. Down about the docks, in a
wretched apartment, she found him, the
father of her babes.
He raised his heavy eyes as she
drew near his bed, and smile lit his
worn, white face.
That's Berry, he said quietly. l
thought you would come, and | couldn't
die until | had seen your dear face
again. Come near, and let me look at
you.
She had him in her arms in an in
stant, and despite the cautions the land
lady had given her not to excite him,
she was weeping over him, and covering
his face and lips with kisses.
"Oh, Frederick, have found you at
last! | have broken my heart with
waiting for you dear; why have you not
come sooner?
He put her face back from his and
looked at her
Why, Berry, did you really want me
so? | was coming, but | tried to get
rich first; | knew you wanted wealth.
| worked hard, Berenice, and | did get
rich, and started on my way. But my
riches took wing and flew from me. T
lost all l had worked for, and | couldn't
return to you penniless.
oh, my darling, why not? [ only
wanted you! | shall never care for
wealth again-forgive me and love me,
my husband.
" He patted her cheek with his thin
hand.
Is it so, Berenice? 1t is sweet to
hear such words from yourlips, Ihave
loved you all these years, dear, but I
couldn't come back to you penniless.
YOu have come back-you are here
i hold you to my heart What God
has joined together, nothing shall ever
put asunder again.
But | am dying, Berry-they tell me
my days are numbered
Your days of toll and pain, my be-
loved, yes-your new life of happiness
is only about to begin Come home
with me and [ will cure you.
And as the morning dawned and the
Thanksgiving bells began to ring from
hundreds Of belfries, they went home
together, after eight years of bitter
separation.
And she did cure him-he surely
didn't die, did he grandma?
Grandma laughed as she wiped the
tears from her cheeks.
No, my dears, he didn't die. There
he sits. | am Berenice, and grandpa

John 2. Wickert, the candidate for
County Clerk, enjoys the confidence OF

During his continuance in the Office he
has 50 managed its affairs that the closest

Wickert happily combines alfabiIity with
the strictest integrity, which makes him
a highly popular as well as an efficient
officer. With such officers as Mr.. Wick
ert, the interests Of the county VIII never
suffer. He has been tried and found
reliable and competent. The people will
demand his re election.
John ProelI, the nominee for Register
Of Deeds and the present incumbent, has
been q very attentive officer during the
last two years. By no means a shrewd
politician, his denomination may be con
sidered az expression Of appreciation by
the people. His election may be looked
for with confidence.
John o EIara the nominee for County
Surveyor has had considerable experience
with the implements Of his profession.
His mind naturally turns to mathematics,
and his election two terms to the Office
wonld Indicate that the people have con-
fdence in his ability.
