How To TEACH RAPHY.-Superintend
ent Parker of Quincy, in recent address on
geography in the primary schools, said that
the form, structure and character of the con-
tinent should be taught first and as firmly
fixed in the child's mind as a farm OF a scene
about its home. He had seen children in the
second and third years recite the names of
all the States, with capitals; this was utter
nonsense. In the fourth aud fifth years be-
gin by teaching about plains and level land:
show it on the moulding board, and draw it.
Ask the children questions. Tell them all
land is sloping, and ask what would happen
if it was all level. Ask where rain comes
from, where it goes, how far it goes into the
earth. Let them take a shovel and dig down,
they will thus learn the soil. Mountains are
made too important. Take away the Rocky
mountains and there is a slope of 1000 feet.
Ask where water comes out of the ground?
Teach the river basins and how much land
they drain. Tell them the difference between
a canal and a river. Where is the most wa
ter, in the river or in the basin How is q
bay formed? By wearing away of the land.
Massachusetts, bay was formed in this way.
Use moulding boards in preference to maps.
Begin by building continents, show the i'm
portance of slopes. After moulding them let
children mould them. Drawing maps in
squares is the best way. Teach them Incl
dentals, such as forests, travels, or history of
localities. Then test them by questions
Teachers should compose continents tell
them how they are adapted to the life of
man. Then describe the soils and the vege-
tation. Do not teach vegetation by States
such as Maine raises SO and so-but by coun-
tries. In teaching geography teach our own
country first, and outline of the United
States, and then mix history with it. If you
tell the history of Bunker Hill battle, mould
it on the board. In reading history, locate
everything with maps or moulding this will
teach geography quicker Geography is the
foundation for physical science.

WINTER LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF Colo
RADIO is fraught with terrible suffering. Sew
eral weeks ago young man named Briggs
left Rico with companion to 60 to Animas
City by the Pinkerton trail-a distance of 35
miles over the La Plata range to the settle
ment at the mouth of the Hermosa Creek
His companion turned back during the first
day out, leaving Briggs 70 make the journey
alone. When night came on the weary trav-
eler found, to his dismay, that his companion
of the MOI ming had taken with him all the
matches, and be must pass the night in the
snow without fire. He had two small blank
cts with him. and to lie down with such light
covering was certain death. Guided alone
by the stars, he moved slowly forward through
the long night to find, when morning dawned,
that he had lost the trail. Trusting to his
knowledge of the country, he pushed bravely
on, and would have completed his journey in
safety had he not, during this days travel,
broken one of his snow-shoes. With the en-
ergy of despair he toiled on until, on the
morning of the fifth day after leaving Rico,
he found himself fifteen miles from the little
settlement of Hermosa. The stream is q
shallow, rushing torrent, too swift to be
chained by the frosts of winter, and into its
narrow channel, with a high wall of snow
and ice on either side, he plunged without
hesitation and pushed eagerly forward toward
the settlement. When three miles from
Hermosa he found a road had been broken
along the bank of the creek, and to this he
turned his steps. Taking off his boots and
stockings he wrapped his feet in pieces of
blanket, over which he pulled his boots, and
in that condition, ice clinging to his garments,
boots frozen as hard as horn, the thermome-
ter down to zero, he made his way to the
house of Mr.. Trip, where he arrived just at
nightfall He had escaped the mountain pass
and the perils of that madly rushing river, TO
falla victim to the chill winds that pierced bim
through and through after he left the water,
and when almost in sight of the warm hearth
he had struggled so bravely to reach. When
his boots were removed his feet were found
to be frozen as hard as blocks of wood His
feet were amputated, but nothing could save
him, and he soon died.

NO. 16.

One qualification beg permission to add.
I would not be thought, by what has been
said, to sympathizo with those who carry this
gospel Of labor so far as to defy mere will
power and brute force. In this direction has
lain one of the dangerous tendencies Of the
times. II has shown itself in hero.worship,
in making success the ultimate standard Of
right, in joining together in one indiscrim.
inato culogium the Puritan dictator, the
Prussian autocrat and the slave butcher Of
Jamaica 1t appears now in the readiness to
cringe before great and powerful natures, and
yield to them an exceptional standard Of
morality, on the plea Of their possessing
passions of exceptional power. Might is left
to dominate right, and greatness goodness.
And now it comes to pass, that we are called
to look upon men lAuded TO the skies as teach
ers of pure morality, from some Of the very
first principles of which they have in deed IL
not in word claimed an exceptional stand
ard of judgment Are these, then, to be
reckoned as legitimate fruits of this ancient
gospel of work, colder than all preached gos-
pels" Must then the moral law be forced
modestly to retire before strong passions and
complicated relations and the sneer of King
Richard to his mothers prayer, find echo
from us all:
amen, and make me die good old man:
That is the butt end Of = mothers blessing;
marvel that her grace did leave that out'7
No! over against these teachings Of Carlyle
and of Emerson, over against the practices Of
statesmen, governors and popular clergymen,
would place the words of Frederic Denison
Maurice, than which no truth can be more true,
'The characteristic quality of every true teach
er is obedience. The worship of power must
never be substituted for the worship of right
eousness." While, then, l have magnifed
the gospel of work tonight, it has not been
to make this gospel supreme either in its
promises or its demands Above the work is
the worker, and far above the worker is One
in whom dwelleth eternal justice, from whom
cometh the power and to whom shall be the
honor and glory of our every achievement.

GIRL BABIES IN CHRA.-M Moung Edwin, a
Burmese, who has been educated in this coun-
try with the view of sending him as a Baptist
missionary to Burmah, lectured last week in
Baltimore. Speaking of the deplorable con-
dition of women in the East, owing mainly to
peculiar religious teachings, he said "Girls
in China are believed TO have no souls, and to
kill them is not murder, and therefore not TO
be punished. Where parents are too poor to
support the girl children they are disposed of
in the following way: At regular intervals
an appointed officer goes through a village
and collects from poor parents all the girl
children they cannot care for, when they are
about eight days old. He has two large bAs-
kets attached TO the ends Of a bamboo pole
and slung over his shoulder, Six infants are
placed in each basket, and he carries them to
some neighboring village and exposes them
for sale. Mothers who desire to raise wives
for their sons buy such as they may select.
The others are taken TO the Government Asy-
lum, of which there are many all through the
country If there is room there they are tax
en- in, if not they are drowned"

That Robbery

On Sunday morning We mentioned
the fact OF a msu being robbed in the
Delta Saloon of bis watch and $s3
and stated that the police we're en-
deavoriDg to catch the thieves. Late
at night Mrs. Garrison told them that
che had seen two young persons
rifiing the drunken mans pockets
and made them desisG aud give the
money to her. They gave her the
watch and some money, and she gave
1t to the barkeeper named AveriIl.
The police arrested Tim Kelly and .
young fellow named Hoytson on the
charge of theft, and they stated that
they had merely gone through the
fellows pockets for fun. Ayerill,
who had said nothing about having
thu watch or any money, gave the
thermometer and So in money to the
police when they spoke to him, and
said that Mrs. Garrison had given him
no more. The young fellows ray that
slf.they took they gave 10 Mrs. Garri-
son, and she states that all she re-
ceived she turned over to Averin, to
be refunded to the drunken man
when he should come to. The case
will come up in day or tw1, az soon
as Mrs Garrison receivers from a
couple of black eyes aud othsr
bruises received in the past day or
two sufficiently to be presentable, and
it may then be ascertained who got
away with the $50.
