TEAoHpupils to read for the thought
To this end use the newspapers in the
class occasionally. Histories are also
excellent reading books for this pur.
pose.--Er.
WILL CALDWELL. Burroughs dis.
trict, Clifton, was assisted by finding
about 8 pages of note paper left by
Ada McGray, his predecessor, con-
tanning all needed directions for class
flying his school. Such a practice
cannot be too highly commended.
PROF. d. NJ. WOODBURY. will give a
lecture on reading, with illustrations,
before the Teachers Association at
Ellsworth on Saturday evening, the
18th inst. Mr.. Woodbury's ability in
this direction is well known, and no
one can afford to miss an opportunity
to hear him.
ga man cannot afford to be natu-
ralist, to look at nature directly, but
only with the side of his eye. He
must look through and beyond her.
To look at her is as fatal as to look at
the head of Medusa. 1t turns the
man of science to stone.-H ID. Thor

If direct physiological experiments
performed by eminent men, both in
this country and in Europe, have prov
en- anything during the last half cen
fury, it is, that alcohol taken into the
human system diDli7ishes temperature,
nerve sensibility, muscular strength,
and the sum total of atomic changes.

CHAs. A. CARSON, ESQ, formerly
editor of the FARGO Independent, made
us very agreeable visit last Friday
and Saturday. Mr.. Carson is about to
commence the publication of month
ly magazine at Fargo, entitled Scar
sons Handbook of the Red River of
the North and the Regions beyond to
the Yellowstone.
WISCONSIN has received from the
Federal Government in addition to
the lands granted for the endowment,
of the State University and College of
Agriculture, over 3,559,572 acres, the
proceeds of which we're dedicated to
common school education. The per-
centages on Government land sales, up
to 1875, have netted the State, for the
same purpose, $195, 423.98.
WHAT the State School Fund, with
munificent endowment, might have
amounted to by this time, had that
trust always been prAdentty and hon
estLy administered, it is in vain now to
conjecture. Politicians of all parties
and of all grades have, since the or
ganization of the State Government,
made it their spoil; and will probably
| continue to do so, as there are yet
| more than $4,000 acres of unsold
lands, the proceeds of which are ap'
plicable to this fund. But it is GER
tain that, at the present time, it is OF
very little consequence, and its actual
nett income, as apportioned, hardly
| worth considering in the estimates fol
