TEACHERS MEETING.

SOMERS, Dist. No. 1, Nov. %, 1879.
The teachers meeting was called to
order at p. M. by Vice President A.
L. Boswell. The following teachers
were present: A. L. Boswell, w. j.
Barnes, II. J. Brande, Lyman Carpen-
ter, Alvan Carpenter, ID. j. Powderly,
Robert Pollock, w. M. Mainland, w.
e. Lee, /. n. Evans, Ruth E. Munson
and Minnie GibbOn,- came in
during the afternoon. Miss Munson
opened the exercises with u paper en-
titled HO we manage with small
scholars during the winter term ?"
The theme was very appropriate, as the
question often comes before the teach
or. Miss Munson said there were
many large boys and girls in school
during the winter term, that did not
intend to ag lin enter the school room
as pupils. Knowing this, the teacher
was apt to devote more time to the
classes in which the larger pupils en-
tered, than was given to the smaller
pupils. This, she said, was wrong, and
insisted that the small pupils should
recite six times each day; twice each
in reading and spelling and once in
arithmetic and geography; and closed
by saying, " Do not neglect the Chill
dren, and in due time we shall reap
our reward"
Many questions found their way in
to the Query Box, and each interroga-
ton was followed by quick responses.
Next IN order was tho discussion,
"What is the reason our district
schools turn out SO few good readers.
No reasons were given, but various
theories were presented as to how
reading might be secured.
The principal ones were first, by Civ
ing public readings, and the other was
that each pupil should read selection
before the school as often as once a
week. The general sentiment appear
ed to favor the latter plan. This WAS
the last topic Of the afternoon.
Mr.. Lee, President of the E. d. Of
Racine County, then extended an inyi-
tatiOn to the teachers Of this Division
to join with his Division i'll a joint
meeting to be held at kellogg's Corn
ers, December 9th, 1879. The invita-
ton was cord ally accepted The
meeting then adjourned until 1880 z.
M.
The evening meeting was held at the
Presbyterian church. The programme
was carried out as follows:
Music.
Declamation-Th Ministry of
Christian Song-James Boswell.
How Horatius held the Bridge
Minnie GibboD.
Are Teachers Meetings humbug?
H. J. Brande
Paper How parents may render
most assistance to teachers-A. S.
Carpenter.
amation--Pathos i'll J literature
as al element of Reform-I n. Evans.
The meeting passed off very pleas
antly, and the final verdict rendered by
all was that this meeting had not been
humbug. Here endeth the first
meeting Of the e. ID.

Clear Starchins.

A lady writes the Household: "What is
meant by clear starching and how is it done?"
sClear starching'' is simply the process by
which laces and "sheer" muslins, lawns or
cambrics are made to look like new after 60
ing through thorough cleansing. None of
these delicate fabrics will bear rubbing or
wringing; the only proper way is to squeeze
them gently in the suds and rinse them care
fully through a suds of tepid water. This
may be prepared either by lathering piece
of borax soap through the water, or odds and
half a teaspoonful Of powdered borax added
to pint of these scraps. Put the soap and
borax in an earthen pipkin and pour quart
of boiling water over it; stir and beat thor
oughly with an egg whip, which will cause
every particle of the soap to dissolve, and
when it is cool it will look like jelly, and will
have the articles look yellow, teasp0onful
of clear coffee added TO pint of starch will
give proper tinge; if dead white is preferred
bleach the articles by sleeping in glass jar
filled with suds, and set in the sun, but do not
use bluing; if clear white is wished use only
if blush tone is intended, increase the
| quantity OF bluing. Always blend the raw
starch to a perfectly smooth paste with cold
water, then to liquid with cold water, add
boiling water, stirring all the time briskly,
! till the starch is of right consistency. Let

New style of Dress.

A correspondent of the New York
Graphic: / wish to introduce to your
notice new style of dress invented
partly and used by a young lady in New
Yo.k. She is anxious that others of her
sex should adopt it. She has showed the
entire dress, and explained its working
and wearing.
1t consists of three pieces. [ mean
three garments worn over the other
She dresses in three pieces. / mean that
she has on three pieces when she is>fullv
dressed. The first or inside piece is
made OF linen. 1t goes on something
like mans trousers and jacket made in
one piece, only it is not quite so long.
The second consists of an inside sort Of
thai is to say-a SOFT Of wooden skirt
which reaches up to the shoulders. The
third, last and outside Is sort of dress
ing gown which looks very much like
dress. and buttons all the way down in
front.
She says she can dress. with these in
one-third the time required by the old
style. Then she showed how many sepa-
rate pieces she used to wear before she
reformed--in dress. She said she used
to feel as If bundled up in lot of rags.
There were so many that nights they
made heap on the floor two feet in
height.
do think women do need some sort of
dress they can get around in. Now half
a woman's strength is used up in carry
| ing clothes. think this invention should
be made known to the world, and I have
modestly done the best 1 could in describ-
ing it. 1t is not an easy subject for a
young writer to handle.

Henry county, he informed me, is the
highest land in the State Of Indiana, the
barometrical observations showing that
Knightstown is about 500 teet above the
level OF the sea, while Spiceland is 1925
feet above the plane where the Mississlp-
pl waters minele with those of the Gulf
of Mexico. My brother Calvin had in
formed me that Indianapolis is the low
est place in the interior of the State. Mr..
Dawson confirmed this. The lowest
place absolutely in the State is New Har-
mory, which is only $50 feet above the
gulf of Mexico. Aurora, Dearborn county
is 500 feee above the level Of the sea.
But the most interesting portion Of
any of my interviews with Mr.. D. was
that which related to astronomy. Here,
by his own sharp economies, in which
his whole family shared, he managed to
save enough to order Of Alvan Clark

of Cambridge, Mass object glasses, eye
glasses and rejecting eye-pieces: These
alone cost him between 5000 and $500. He
sent to Dublin and Knightstown, Ind,
for ENC, brass Sc, and with these con
structed the tube of his telescope. I
mounted to his observatory with him.
This observatory he planned SO that 1t
rests upon the central portion of his
house. The dome, of course, revolves at
will, so that he can bring any part of the
heavens in view. I mad aglorious view

ested as he narrated to me the various
observations he made Of eclipses, of spots
on the sun, and of the planets and fixed
stars. He said that to him the sight
which, Of all others, he could call
"splendid subllmity" was the transit Of
mercury On the 9th of May, 1878.
looked into his little library, which
consisted for the most part OF the Bible

and ZelI's Encyclopedia, and asked him
if there were lot books that he wished
for very much in connection with astro
nomy. ooh, yes" he replied, "there are

would be of the greatest aid to me, but

with resolves, and one was, without let
