In oral spelling never allow q pupil
to try more than once on a word.
When your class in Numbers" is
counting always have the pupils count
something. The abstract words lone"
"two," &C., have nomeaning to child.
Your primary classes should recite
just before recess and dismissal Forty
five minutes is long enough to keep the
little ones in doors at one time.
Idle pupils show poor arrangement
Of the programme. Give each pupil
enough to keep him busy while In the
schoolhouse.
Sleepy and restless pupils show q
lack of ventilation. Plenty of air from
out doors is not poisonous. Don't be
afraid Of it.
If you cannot find time for drawing
as recommended by Prof. johnson,
alternate it with writing every other
day OF every other week; but by all
means teach drawing.
If you allow pupils TO ask questions
while there is recitation in progress,
you are not teaching q good school.
One thing at a time is enough.
Pupils should not be allowed to enter
the fourth reader until they can pro-
nounce every common word in the En-
glish language. After the fourth read
or is reached, especial attention should
be given to emphasis, infection, and
time.
Only few schools in the county
open with singing. This is all wrong.
Whatever else you may have for open.
ing exercises, singing ought not to be
neglected.
General exercises are excellent in
school, especially in the afternoon.
They serve to break up the monotony
of the regular work, and are real rest.
All good teachers take one or more
good educational papers, and attend
teachers meetings whenever possible.
The leading teachers of the county
are pushing the grading system. We
hope that no teacher in the county will
fail to give the system a fair trial this
winter. County schools will never be
what they ought to be until they are
rightly graded.
The Supt. will be around to see you
the last Of this week or the first of next.

The next Congress will have large
amount Of very important business to
transact. 1t is the long session, and
the probability is that it will be pro-
tracted long into the summer. The
election Of q Speaker is first to be dis
posed of, and then comes the usual ad-
journment for the holidays, and after
that the solid work Of the session.
Then will come up for consideration the
revision of the tariff laws, with all that
the term implies; how to dispose of the
large surplus revenues, which will
reach $s150,000,000 the present fiscal
year; amendments to the national
banking laws will be proposed, and
perhaps an effort made on the part of
the Greenbackers, aided by Democratic
votes, to abolish the whole system; the
reappointment of the House member
ship under the new census; an attempt
to perfect q three per cent. loan; an eff
fort to relieve the Supreme Court; to
abolish the whiskey and tobacco tax
to provide for counting the electoral
votes; to pass national bankrupt law
to deal with polygamy; to debate the
Monroe doctrine; to reorganiZe the
Court Of Claims; to discuss the trans
portation question, and to grind the
usual number of axes.
For their own sakes, as we'll as for
the health Of the people Of Washington,

Guiteau still lives. He has escaped
a second attempt upon his life, and the
probabilities are that he will not again
be so insufilciently guarded as to invite
another attempt. 1t is not to be Won
dered at that such attempts have been
made His brutality and inordinate
vanity in the trial have more and more
Disguised the people with this wretch.
The hatred with which he is regarded,
together with the reputation of our
criminal courts for foiling justice, CO.
operate in bringing a strong pressure
TO bear even upon decent men to take
the villain from the hands Of law and
string him up. Undoubtedly this is
not q spirit Of law and order such as a
civilized people should have, but there
Is @ point at which the dealing of such
summary justice would show virtue
rather than immortality. Whatever
stigma may fasten itself to a commune
tythat will tolerate such high-handed
unlawful act and give credit to the
hand that performs it, the stigma
upon tho criminal courts of the coun-
try that allow these crimes so frequent
ly to go unpublished is greater. The
same judge who found a way out for
Brady on technicality cannot be
trusted to mete out very much of that
staple article known in its day as
Justice to Guiteau.

Wisconsin comes again to the front as
the place in which Judge Lynch holds
his court. The people of Durand were
unable to stand the pressure brought
TO bear upon them by the appearance
ofone Of the Williams brothers in their
midst, although he was in the hands OF
proper legal authority. They rose and
wreaked dire vengeance upon the muir
derer Of their fellow-townsmen. The
fate was not too good for the desperate
who wantonly shot down an officer in
the discharge of his duty. But the eff
feet upon the community will be bad.
Little children stood by and saw an
Infatuated mob, composed of their ia.
theirs and brothers, take the life of
fellow-being without even time to offer
up prayer to the Almighty for mercy.
Maxwell persisted as he lived, desper-
ate criminal. No finching, but look
that said, Oh, for one moments liber-
ty and my rife" The responsibility Of
this lliqh-handed and illegal act does
not rest entirely with those who COM
mitted it. The criminally slack and
corrupt mode Of administering justice
in the courts has more to do with it
than anything else. 1t is hoped that
such proceedings will arouse such a
demand for reform that our judges
will not dare to disobey.

The German Heusler has suggested
on the same point that the ancients did
not divide time as we do. Previous to
the time of Abraham, the year, among
some people of the East, was only three
months. or a season; SO that thew had
a year Of spring, one of summer, one of
fall and one of winter. The year was
extended so as to consist of eight
months after Abraham, and twelve
months after Joseph. Voltaire reject
ed the longevity assigned to the patri-
archs of the Bible, but accepted with
out question the stories Of the great
ages attained by some men in India,

old men of one hundred and twenty

teaches that he should live five times
as long as it takes him to become an
adult. According to this author the
moment of a completed development
may be recognized by the fact Of the
Junction Of the bones with their apo.
physes. This junction takes place in
horses at fTe years, and the horse does
not live beyond twenty-five years; with
the OK at four years, and it does not
live over twenty years; with the cat
at eighteen months, and that animal
rarely lives over ten years. With the
man 1t is effected at twenty years, and
he only exceptionally lives beyond one
hundred years. The same Psychologist
admits, however, that human life may
be exceptionally prolonged under GER
tain conditions of comfor, sobriety,
freedom from care, regularity of hab-
its, and observance of the. rules of
hygiene, and he terminates his interest

When autumn winds. With blighting breath,
Did strip the leaves from every tree,
And sweetest flowers consigned TO death.
10 cheerful sun did gid the day;
On every hand the leaves were falling,
And moaning wind among the trees,
For ever, Dust to dust" was calling.
The leaves and flowers had done their work,
Their summer life for ever past;
And autumn's wind and autumn's rain.
Did kindly lay them down TO rest.
But. In that lone and narrow bed,
Was laid rosebud fair to see
Cut down before its summer bloom
A bud more sweet than flower could be.
1t seem'd sad, untimely death.
In lifes sweet spring to pass away.
And leave behind sad, loving hearts,
To mourn the loss for many day.
And who write these simple words,
As Tough the mist OF twenty yearS,
Sad memory doth wander back,
feel Q grief too deep for tears.
Beside another's grave stood,
When summer reign'd In all Its power;
The trees were clothed In leaves OF green,
And earth was gay with many q flower.
And In grave, bedecked with flowers,
We laid lIlY, sweet and fair,
As pure as child Of earth could be.
A spotless flower Of fragrance rare.
With flowers we wreathe the fair young bride
And dock the hall on festive morn;
They crown our JOY in pleasures hour,
Ard dropping sad with US they mourn;
They filed the house where she had lived,
And gathered round her sleeping torn.
All shapes they took-a cross, q crown,
And dove, who said, :" Past Is the storm"
A floral harp with broken string.
It's harmony for ever gone;
No hand can mend, no art replace,
The golden string in that fair home.
And over all the star Of hope
Did shed a clear and silver light.

When past the darkness OF the night.

They did proclaim with sweetest breath:
"Peaco Peace friends, Louie is at rest"
Our words are gone, each tongue Is still
Before the mystery Of death;
And dark the clouds that gather round.

From all labor they are ever free ;

How bless'd this precious truth should be.
Her works were thoseof faith and love;
Few, few. more pure this earth has seen,
The current Of her love-crowned life,
Flowed like pure, sweet silver stream.

THE LONGEVITY OF THE
ANCTENTS.

Can man reach and pass the age Of a
hundred years? is question concern
ing which Psychologists have different
opinions. Button was the first one in
France to raise the question Of the ex-
treme limit Of human life. In his opin--
ion, man becoming adult at sixteen,
ought to live to six times that age, or
to ninety. six years. Having been called
upon to account for the phenomenal
ages attributed by the Bible to the pat
riarchs, he risked the following as an

The report of Postmaster General
James wilt be scanned eagerly this
year to see what revelations have been
made respecting the Star Route frauds.
The report is very interesting of itself,
aside from any reference to this matter.
We have read with special interest
the "dead letter" Office statistics, from
which it appears that out of every 915
letters sent by mail one has found its
way to this office. The amount of
money found in these letters for the
past year is $40,5s7.sO, with drafts,
money orders, ETC., to the amount of
@1,S99,082,51. This is a whole sermon
on the carelessuess of directing envel-
opes, and sending money enclosed in a
letter
An idea OF the comparative amount
ofnewspaper matter sent from the vari-
GUS cities can be obtained from the re-
port Of percentages. The cities of
New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel

natl, San Francisco, Detroit, Louisville,
Cleveland, Milwaukee, Pittsburg, and
Baltimore, in order, rank highest.
New York sends 27.e5 per cent; Chica-
so, 1901 percent. The fourteen cities
above named send together 71.75 per
cent of all the periodicals in the Unit
ed States. The Postmaster General
sees opportunities for reform in the
postal service. Many apparently
valuable suggestions are made as to
conducting the business Of the depart

This gives the Republican candidate
a plurality Of 9,5O5, result not at all
demoraliSing to the Republican party
In the state, when the large withdrawal
OF good republican votes by the Pro-
hibitionists is taken into account.
The figures above referred to reveal
some very close contests. Winnebago
county gives Rusk plurality of five.
Racine county gives him majority of
only three, and juneau one. bayfield,
county reports 1919 votes, of which 1913
were Republican. OF the As counties,
05 gave Rusk plurality.
We had not supposed there could be
5000 votes for the Greenback ticket
IN the state. "Fiat money" is one Of
the dead and gone hair-brain theories
since specie resumption, and it is a
matter Of wonder, Kenosha county,
which lies nearest to civilization Of
any county Of the state mot on account
Of its proximity to Chicago, gave the
0reenback ticket one vote. The party
received one vote also in Marinette
county. Where, in county of staid
and old-fashioned ideas like Kenosha,
or in @ new and enterprising county
like Marinette, this solitary and forlorn
representative of dead idea could
come from will remain a mystery for
ever.
