The Amer can Reprint Of the En-
cUcIOpeGSiH Britannica

We wish to call the attention of the readers
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per-
feet in all its parts, every word cut illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced
Letters like the following show what the lead
ing men of the age think of this great work

of Messrs Stoddart, of Philadelphia this great
work is being reprinted in our country, and sold
at half the cost of the English edition. As the
accuracy of the Reprint is guaranteed, the pur-
chaser obtains for a very small sum what is it.

ONE of the Republican papers. the

public that the Democratic factions in
New York city are fighting worse than
ever. This will be news to the Demo
Gratis, who are really more united than
they have been for years, and are coming
together as fast as could be reasonably
expected. 1t is too bad that a lively
Democratic quarrel cannot be got up for
the benefit of their dispirited opponents.

not kill him. A gator ALWAYS tells you.
unerringly, whether you have killed or
only wounded him. II wounded, he
plunges and thrashe, around at a lively
rate for few seconds aud sinks out Of
sight, but if killed dead, he performs
about the same series Of evolutions,
turns on his back and dies, remaining
on the top Of the water. This is the
time to go for him if you wish TO cap
ture him, for he only lies on top of the
water fifteen or thirty minutes. when the
air escapes from the lungs, and he sinks.
II is very difficult. indeed, TO kill them
on dry land nowadays, for they are shot
ut so much that they are exceedingly
wild. But whenever You flush one from
the bank and he goes into the water, sit
down and rest, and you may depend
upon it You will have to wait but few
minutes before he will put his large black
eyes out of the water and look around
to see if you are still there; then you
have fine target for your rifle. The
smoke had hardly cleared away after
my last shot, when third gator looked
up near us and instantly caught right
fielder in his optic that turned him over
We then supposed we had made it so
warm for them that no others would
show themselves for while, and started
on down the stream. The Captain and
l had gone little ahead, and Jack who
had not yet started, called to us and
said, "Here's another 'gator!" went
back, and there, sure enough, was an
old fellow, swimming along down the
creek as unconcernedly as though he
had never heard the report of gun in
his life. WAITED until he came within
fifty feet of me, and then gave him one
in the leeward eye. He turned two or
three somersaults, and stopped on his
back with one forefoot sticking out Of
the water. We left him there as warn
ing to his kind not to tempt the deadly
accuracy of Stevens rifle. As were
now thoroughly stated with this class of
sport, we returned home.-Sarosota

Alligator Hunting.

About mile below where we first
came upon the creek, and two miles
from where it empties into the bay, we
reached tide-water, and Jack told us to
look out now for gators. Sure enough,
we saw two monster old saurians lying
out on the bank summing themselves.
They took the alarm, however, while
we were yet long way off, and plunged
into the water. As we neared the spot
we saw several others swimming in
different directions in the same hole.
They all disappeared when they saw us,
so we laid down our luggage and sat in
the shade of tree to await results. In
a few minutes one stuck his head out of
the water not more than thirty yards
away, whereupon Captain S. gave him
a charge of buckshot in the vicinity of
the eye and ear. He dashed the water
into foam in his gyratiOns. and sank
out of sight, probably MORALLY wounded
Presently another one put his eyes out
of the water to look at US. He was near
the opposite shore, perhaps fifty yards
from where we sat. let go at him, and,
although I scored palpable hit. did

THE Chinese are many hundred years

THE Chinese are many hundred years
behind time in physiology. They are
profoundly ignorant of the circulation
Of the blood, and locate mind in the alb
domen. They teach that the spleen is
the chief organ in the body, as it grinds
the food by rubbing against the stom-
ach, presides over the muscles and regu-
lates the heat. The liver controls the
tendons and nails. The heart beauties
the complexion, moves the ears and
tongue. The kidneys govern the bones
and hair. The diaphragm keeps foul
air from rising into the throat. The gall
bladder is the seat Of courage; hence
they fight for its possession when a
brave animal is slain, imagining that he
who eats the gall-bladder Of remarka-
BILE animal obtains the peculiarities Of
that beast.

The New Departure in the Public
Schools.

At length the old system which has
endured so long seems crumbling, and
new methods and new ideas appear on
every side. That old system, the sys-
TEN beloved by the true pedagogue, is
only too well known. II is the system
of routine and of cram, and there are
few people under forty who have not at
some time suffered under il.
To excite interest OF arouse enthusiasm
has not been considered the task of n
master in the common schools. On the
contrary, an interested school-room
would probably be rather noisy, and
hence Objectionable. Scholarship has
been held toconsist in Neutrality-suspicious.
by heart, and in answering by rote such
questions as were printed for the mas
ter's use; that school has been the best
where the routine was most iron bound,
where children were drilled in the exer-
cises like soldiers in the manual. and
where excellence, in the one case as in
the other, depended on turning human
beings into machines.
Now, apart from the fact that sreh
discipline is pernicious, because IT en-
feebles the mind by overlooking IT with
undigested matter. and brushes out
originality by discouraging all indie
pendent thought, it is equally objection
able on other grounds. Long experience
has proved that it is doubtful blessing
to teach a man to read, and then turn
him upon the world to pick mp such
further education as the cheap literature
of great cities affords. The immense
sale of sensational newspapers OF the
worst class proves the truth OF this TACT,
and is admitted to be one Of the most
threatening signs Of the times. There
is no use in attacking the publishers OF
criminal literature by Indictment, and
by fine and imprisonment. Where there
is demand there will be supply, all

to suppress such publications Is by
lessening the demand, and this can De

direction the believers in the new de-
parture are thoroughly convinced, and

sense to bear upon the educational prob
