The Vanities Of Teaching.

The desire to push boy ahead to de-
velop precocious tendencies, to have
have bright pupils, is among the
growths are the sfowest. He who
makes haste slowly will generally win in
the long run-win at least all that is
worth having in the prizes Of life. This
truth will come to general acceptance
with education. A Goethe, q Hugo, a
Carlisle and an Emerson living on to
green old age are Of more value to the
world than the corruscatiug careers of
Burns and Byron and Poe, going out in
an hour as 1t were, and leaving behind
them not so much the work they did as
the sorrow of mankind that they did not
do the great work that was in thsm.-

 "Vhell, go aheadt."

me German .spfsrde.parapluia.. .

A Swiss technical paper gives an ac- count of a new invention which would have interested Lemuel Gulliver. Herr Theodore Bulmann, an engineer in Frauenfeld, has registered a patent for umbrellas for horses His "Pfrstai5- parapluie" $ in take the place of the present horse-cloth, so far as the latter Is a protection against rain; but 1t has the further advantage of serving as sunshadeas well as an umbrella, and protecting the animal against heat. The horse umbrella is provided with two or witli four handles, as the case may be, so as to fit different sorts of vehicles, and extends a great ful shodow over the head and body of the horse. It can be closed or opened at will by the driver by means of spring. In the intense midday heat of a-Swiss valley or open plain, where an occasional tree affords the only shadow for long stretch of miles, the horses frequently suffer terribly from the heat. When they are bathed in sweat, ascending sonM steep mountain road, they are often surprised by sud den rains; the tender skin is wetted through in moment, and the instan-. taneous chill ensues to which the Kutscher attributes the diseases and the mortality of his horses.

Personalities and Ill-Reports.

Keep clear of personalities in gen. eral conversation. Talk of things, objects, thoughts. The smallest minds occupy themselves with per. sonslities. Personalities must some times be talked, because we have to learn and find out mems character istics for legitimate objects; but it is to be with confidential persons. Do not needlessly report ill of others. There are times when we are com .pelled to say, Il do not think Boun- cer true and honest man." But when there is no need to express an opinion, let poor bouncer swagger away. Others will take his measure, no doubt, and save you the trouble of analyzing him and instructing them. As far as possible dwell on the good side of human beings There are family boards where a con stant process of depreciating, assign, ing motives, and cutting up charac. ters goes forward. They are not pleasant places. One who is healthy does not wish to dine at q disseeting table. There is evil enough in man, God knows. But 1t is not the mis- sion of every young man and woman to detail and report it all. Keep the atmosphere as pure as possible, and fragrant with gentleness and chari. ty.-Dr John Hall.

The clip Of the United States, now reaching nearly 300,000,000 pounds, valued at about sl00,00O, 900 lone hundred millions of dollars, is a very important item Tn the nation S wealth. The imports were only 5l,- 100000 agalnst Tor, 7,000,0 in lSSO; entered and withdrawn for consump. ton in 1881 only 5S,000,000 pounds against S9,0O0,000 pounds in 1880. The supply for the mills, so for as these figures show, for each of the past two years, was about equal, or say of foreign or domestic, 35O,0oO, : GOO pounds. To this may fairly be added an equal amount of cotton, shoddy, mungo, extract, jnte and other substitutes" so that the American wooden mills use 100000 900 pounds (seven hundred millions of pounds of raw material.

Cleanliness and Health of West
 ern Towns,

Travellers in the West and South are most amazed in towns and villa. ges because of the absence of facil- ities for drainage. Underground earthen pipes, connecting every house in Eastern villages with some run. ming stream or sewer, are unknown in disease breeding centers of South ern and Western population. There. fore we read in newspapers of the prevalence of diphtheria and of ty- phoid and malarial levers, and of chills and levers, and of diseases al the throat and lungs, even in the choicest dwelling places and sunni est homes of our race.
 The theory that disease is another term for an invisible living spore, and that there are as many different descriptions of animals beyond the line of human vision as on this side of it, induces the opinion that per feet hesl.hfuIness, is only compati- ble with perfect cleanliness, and no sane man will take his family to live, when they can only sicken and die, in place which all excretions and filth are deposited for preservation and inhalation in shallow pits. These, when filled, are covered with earth, and others are dug; till the whole surface of these foul places are honey -combed with buried cesspools.
 When rains fall, water is absorbed by these closed sinks, and when the sun shines foul exhalations come up from sll these pits to invade the bed chambers and pollute the lungs of the people. Wives and daughters soon grow yellow and prematurely old-put to death by the stupidity of rulers of municipal corporations. should take cognizance of these facts, and all towns incorpo ated should he forced by law of their creation to provide for public and private cleanliness. A filthy town is always immoral, and the vice Of when once corrected, be. comes the shining virtue of cleanli- ness, pronounced long ago "next af- ter godliness. ."-American Register, Washington, D.

The Death of Thurfow Weed

The following biographical sketch of the late Thurlow Weed was pub lished in the Washington Post:
 Mir. Weed was born in Cairo, Greene county, New York. Novem- Der 15, l797, and was therefore eighthy-five years old at the date of his death. He was born to poverty, and passed his early years in hard work. When very small boy he worked in q blacksmith shop. At ten years he was making his own living on Hudson river vessel. At twelve years he was an apprentice in the printing office of Mir. Caswell. at Catsk;ll. After that we find him for short time in backwoods set. clement, but he soon returned to tie printing office. He was volunteer in the war of lSl2.l5. At the age of twenty one he established news paper in the western part of New York. During the anti-Masonic ex- citement Of 1926 27, MT. Weed was elected to the legislature, where he soon grew into prominence as q pol itieian. Mr, Weed was never a statesman. never even q politician in the highest sense of the word, but as a shrewd and not over scrupulous party manager the country has nev CT had his equal. He was endowed with rare sagacity and often proved more than match for political op- ponents of a far higher and broader range of abilities. As editor of the Albany Evening Journal, the organ of his party for many years, Mr. Weed yielded vast influence and succeeded in impressing himself deeply on tie public mind of that time-half century ago. He de clined all offices for himself, except that of State printer, which was very lucrative. but he was q dictator in the distribution of patronage. Mir. Weed IS credited of having nominat- ed Taylor and Harrison, but in SC. curing the nomination of Scott he achieved a conspicuous failure. For many years past, the old man has been entirely out of public life, but has frequently appeared in print in

reminiscent or advisory utterances. Mr. seward was Mir. Weeds most in- timatc friend. MT. Greeley was q member of the triumvirate of Weed, Seward and Greeley, until the part ncrship was dissolved by Mir. Gree ley, i'll a well remembered Tribune article. In conversation, not many months before his death, MT. Weed said: Il feel q deep sense of grati- tnde for the goodness and mercy that have protected me so long in life, and deep gratitude for so many blessings and mercies. have been very fortunate man-very for tunate all through life, and have had very successful life"

An Old Subject.

The Perryville Rocket breaches a good sermon to the people on the present system of farming in Arkan- sas. Read it:
 The time is now here when the merchant calls on you to pay what you owe him, and he shows you a mortgage on your crop, and in a great many cases, on your horses, your cattle, your wagon and other farming implements, and tells you that you are entirely in his power until his mortgage is satisfied. You have contracted doctors bills and nu- merons other little debts that you should pay, and which you feel like paying. but which the holder of the mortgage tells you must not be paid until his account is settled in full. Now and then it happens that you cannot pay the holder of the mort gage, and he takes everything you have, leaving you to begin the world again at the bottom of the ladder.
 What will you do next spring? Mortgage your coming crop, of course, plant cotton, pay twenty-five cents 8 pound for northern meat, twenty-five cents pound for northern butter, and one dollar and half for northern corn, let your cotton go to your mer- chant in payment of his mortgage on which you have bought twenty. five cent meat and corn at one dollar and half bushel? Of course this is just what you will do. You will buy your hay from the north and ev- erything else that you need. It is strange that you do not even send to the north for your vegetables. You can raise your own corn and meat, make your own butter and your own hay just as well as they can in the north, and escape all this mortgage misery, bu: you will not do it. You will never listen to reason. It is no use preaching to you. You never will be converted to principles Of thrift and economy. This thing has been sung and talked and preached to you for years, but you seem to pre- fer cotton and poverty to corn and plenty.
