ops Of the greatest evidences Of real
msri, aud capacity on the part Of q
teacher in our public schools Is or should
be the ability to impart knowledge, and
make the scholars under their charge
thoroughly and fully understand each
branch of their studies. No scholars
sbould be allowed to advance in any
branch Of learning without understand
ing what they are studying. and giving
full evidence that they have mastered
the study as far as they have gone. For
instance arithmetic; II Is no evidence Of

scholar that he brings his slate into
school with his examples" worked
thereon by his mother or his big sister;
he should be made to show that he can
work those same examples himself.
otherwise he certainly has not learned
them, and he should not be allowed to
pass to the next lesson without fully
and thoroughly understanding the lesson
already given. Teachers are naturally

Tho time for learning at the public
schools is necessarily limited, for school
boys and school. girls rapidly pass on
ward to manhood and womanhood,
therefore. it is all important that their
school days should be improved to the
best and most thorough advantage; this
can only DO done through the best aud
most competent teachers. Some teach
ers in advanced grades adopt the wise
plan Of testing the merits Of scholars
sent to them from the grade below by

A Remarkable Wagon.

A remarkable wagon has been
invented i'm the far West. It has
four wheels of equal size, and per-
haps five feet in diameter, on
which to run. Above the hind
wheels are seats for passengers and
a bed for freight. In front of
this bed and attached to the for
ward axle are cog and balance
wheels, and above them, on a
frame, is large cog wheel, one
revolution of which turns small
cog wheel fastened to the axle a
dozen or more times. The inven-
tors theory was that when the
wagon was once set in motion its
speed would be accelerated by its
own motion, and that the only
trouble would be In preventing It
from running too fast. To keep it
from running away with itself,
across valleys and over mountains,
and never stopping until worn
out. brakes were arranged to con.
troll it, and a steering apparatus
was fixed over the wheels within
reach of the driver. Much was
expected of the machine by the
inventor, who was positive that
Ii would outrun q locomotive
across the desert, and revolution
ize the carrying trade, ss neither
fuel or power of any kind was re-
quired to keep 1t going when once
started. I.fL

Large hats with irregular, turn
ed-up brins are elaborate y
trimmed with ostrich plumes,
flowers, gold braids and gold or

The most elegant OF all summer

Some very pretty white short

sacque adorned with a similar
ruffle at the bottom and trimmed
with tucks and lace insertion.
The latest novelty for lawn,

ment is the Gypsy fiower-pot,
which consists of an iron pot
painted red, banded with gilded
stripes, and suspended from a
wooden tripod, seven feet In
height. united seven inches from
the top, by a gilded ball, from
which hangs the bronzed chain
that suspends the pot.
A novelty for neglige wear in
the place of a chamber robe or
camisole is a long, white lawn
dolman visite exquisitely trimmed
with Italian lace and bows and
loops of pale blue rose or white
ribbon, to be worn over lawn
petticOat fiounced to the kne and
trimmed with lace edging and in

Two Robins Hang u Spar
row.

About one hundred persons wit
messed q curious spectacle at Lam
singham, N. Y, recently. It was
nothing more or less than bird
execution. An English sparrow
had by some means incurred the
displedsure of pair of red-brea St
ed robins, nested in a tree near
Rawson Hall. A fight took place
between the sparrow and robins
on the rear of the roof of the Raw
son Hall building. The sparrow
fought pluckily until all at once
one of the robins few off while
the other kept up the fighting.
The robin messenger soon return
ed with a piece of cord that was
soon wound around the sparro WIS
neck, and the end held in the bill
of one of the executioners. This
done the sparrow was forced off
the edge of the roof and briskly
attacked by the other robin. Thus
situated the sparrow was compar-
atively helpless and in a short
time hung suspended by the neck
dead. After holding their victim
and picking him until assured he
was beyond resurrection the vic
torious robins few to their nest in
the tree, singing merrily, as tho
glorying over their vanquished
foe.

He stified groan as the child
