tFOr the Teachers COlum
ORAL INSTRUCTION..

There seems to be q spirit of in
difference, or negligence, manifested
in our common schools, on the part
of teachers, as regards oral jn8tra.e-
ton, or teaching or at least many
seem to forget that the pupil should
be trained to hueney ard expressive
ness in speaking, and that the oral
e1erc5se OF a recitation may most
assuTedly be SO managed as to i'm
prove every pupil in ready express
sion of well-defned thought.
The almost universal practice, Of
requiring printed answers to be
memOrized and given in the exact
language of the text, is not well
calculated to make Independent
thinkers nor good takers, in as.
much as the pupils so managed are
unable to say anything on the sub
iect so studied and recited, unless
Piled with questions.
Now, instead Of asking the ques
tions. printed ia the book, let the
teacher first master the subject Of a
lesson better than any pupil posi-.
bly, can. Let him feel himself inde-
pendent of his textbook, and then
he can propose appropriate topics,
embraced in the lesson, to each pu-
pill for discussion. The teacher
should not follow any regular order
|. or routine, in calling on the pupils
for the exercises in a recitation, A
topic having been assigned to a pu-
pil, he will rise in his place and pro
ceed With the discussion. If the
pupil declines to discuss the topic,
being unprepared, the same topic
may be assigned to another.
In some cases it will be best &c

The Latest Invention in Useful House.
hold Articles.


Within the last few years there has been
expended a great deal Of inventive thought
and genius upon what may properly be
glassed as household articles, the most
noted results of which is the production
of the sewing machine, the wringer, the
washing machine, the carpet sweeper, &c.
Almost every week we chronicle the event
of some new invention by which the cares
and labOrs of housekeeping are lessened,
and wOman's work made easier.
The newest thing to challenge our at
tention and gladden. the heart Of the house
keeper, Is, what is called the NOVELTY
BRUSH HOLDER, CARPET STBETCIIER and
SwEEPEB, a very simple contrivance de-
signed to firmly hold in position any kind
of brush or duster; having an extension
handle that enables one to wash or dust
windows, walls ceilings without the aid
of a step ladder. That is one Of its con
veniences, and it Is also one of the best
carpet sweepers in the market, holding the
brush firmly at an angle. 1t cleans the
carpet thoroughly, raises no dust, and does
not wear the carpet like the ordinary
broom or brush, and will outwear hall
dozen brooms. As handle for the scrub
bing brush it is the best device ever made,
no more kneeling on the floor, no more
back aches or sore fingers.
As a carpet stretcher alone it is worth
its cost, as a carpet of any size can be laid
evenly without any of the labor and vexa-
tion usually attending such work. 1t is
strong, simple, thoroughly made, cannot
get out Of order, has no screws, lever or
hinges, is compact, cheap and durable.
II is manufactured by Brown q Co.,

Chancellor Haven on sea-Sickness,

ONdnCCllUI 1ldfBu 8u DCil@DlCAllb3oq .
Chmcellor Haven, who was a passen.
ger on the City of Chester, from New
York, and was not sea-sick, has written
paper on the subject of sea-sickness
for the Syracuse Northern Christian Id
y0cdte, in which he says: 'My theory
of sea-sickness requires first that you
should know the cause. Now, the cause
is thatyou are subjected on shirbOard to
a chronic succession of earthquakes.
Whatever will neutralize earthquakes
will cure it. You look at the side of
your room, it is going down, down,
down. Then it cTeaks and turns about
and goes up, up, up. Then it wriggles.
Now one corner tips in one angle, and
now another corner tips in another
angle. You start to pick up your hat
and run against your roommate, or
plunge against the wall your head be-
gins to swim, and you begin either to
shrink into helpleSSness or TO resist and
try TO straighten things out. You say,
This shall not be- or you cover down
Ike a wretch. Now for the cure. Just
let it rock. Remember earthquakes
now are according to the order Of ma
ture. Put your mind into a condition
expressed in some such words as these I:
Rock away This is grand! This is
pushing ahead nobly over the waves!
Why shouldn't you rock You are
strong as the wisdom of men can make
YOU. Turn entirely over if you want to.
Icebergs could not crush YOU. And If
they should, what then? We might as
well die at sea as on land, and it would
be a noble DEATH By that time your
threatened weakness will begin to dis
appear, and you will feel like running,
though, if you attempt it, you may
find yourself engaged in a dance.
In other words, you must consent to let
the ship toss about without any muscular
or mental uneasiness, and then all tens
dency to sickness will disappear. Some
seem to do this unconsciously; others
will not do it until they are fairly driven
to it by an exhaustion that makes then
incapable of noticing anything. If you
cannot do this-why just suecumb to 1t.
No medicine can cure you"
