XIV. The term Wing" is de-
rived from " whigganore," which in
the southern part of Scotland de-
notes drover
After the defeat of the Duke of
Hamilton in 1913, number from
this part of the country marched
upon Edinburg. This was called
the Whiggamore's inr, ad, and ever
after that all that opposed the court
came in contempt to be called
Wings"
In 1879 the term Tory was APP
piled to persons who favored the
succession of the Duke of York TO
the English throne. 1t was observed
that the Duke favored the Irish. and
all accounted his friends were
called Tories, which signified the
most despicable sayages among the
Wild Irish.
XIV. The term key is derived
from the Spanish word eayo, an islet.

Teachers who have not yet reached
an advanced age, remember well
the time when series of geogra-
phies consisted of four numbers,
series of readers often six num-
bers, and other text books graded
the other sciences of the common
school curriculum in similar man
ner, though with fewer numbers
and broader differences. This con-
dltion of things was, no doubt,
the result of very natural re-
action of the pedagogic mind after
several decades in which the whole
round of common school studies
was comprised in an American
Preceptor, Daboll's, Arithemetic,
a Murray's Grammar, a Webster's
Spelling Book, and a quill pen.
But the pendulum whose swing
produced the series of so many vol
umes has already begun-has
even considerably progressed in its
return oscillation. In support Of
this statement we have the va
rious two-book courses in geogra-
ply now issued by all the leading
school book houses, and later than
these at least two new series Of
arithmetics consisting of two num-
bers each. Of these, published re-
spectively by A. S. Barnes & Co.,
and Harper & Brothers, we have
examined only the latter; but if
it may stand as representative
of these shorter courses the latest
fashion must be regarded as the
most sensible.
While the volumes are small,
and consequently, cheap, they con-
tain all that any teacher with even
the most moderate degree of skill
in planning and laying out work
for his classes in this bradch could
need.
Especially deserving of note is
the first book of this series, as con-
taining-even largely consisting of
an adaptation of the CRUDE
method Of teaching numbers to
primary classes.
For the young teacher who has
heard something of this system
but does not know what it is, nor
nor how to apply it this book will
come almost as revelation. And
if the system is worthy the high
place that has been for several
years accorded to it by those whose
opinions are held most valuable
among teachers, then certainly, it
has none too soon found a place
in book that promises soon to
be in extensive use in schools.

Geo. w. Strong, of Miflln dem
ocratic candidate for Register of
Deeds, spent a few hours in the
city on Saturday. Mr.. S. is de-
servedly popular with all classes
of the people. He is the embod-
iment of honesty and straight
forwardness; he has never been
an ollice-seeker, and his friends
will see to it that his interests
are well taken care of at the polls.
Mr.. Strong is an excellent pen
man and would creditably fill the
position of Register of Deeds.

The general democratic victory in
Ohio is glorious enough; but that
Hon. Frank Hurd has been reelected
to congress from the tenth district is
the best news of all. Outspoken
manliness will be admired wherever
displayed, but more especially in
politics, where it is so rarely found.
The recent redistricting of the state
placed Mr.. Hurd in a republican dis
trict, largely devoted to manufactu-
ring. 1t is proverbial that workmon
in factories are always prejudiced in
favor of protection, and that it is
impossible to make them under
stand that free hade don't mean low
wages. In view of the facts in the
case, some of his party friends who
cared more for success than they did
for principle, advised him to com
promise his well known position on
the tariff question; but this he re-
fused to do, and went before the
people upon the question of tariff
reform. He joined issue fairly and
with his protection oppo-
nent, and the voters of his district
returned him favorable verdict.
His confidence in the intelligence of
his constituency and their ability to
decide upon question of
political economy when fairly pre-
scented to them was not misplaced.
Frank Hurd viii 90 back to con-
gress, conscious that majority of
his constituents approve of the de-
mand for a more righteous tariff
laws, and his voice will help swell
that demand until it is anwered.

political issues, on Friday evening of

speech was characterized by ability
and fairness, and the frank and

his political sentiments won for the
speaker very many admirers. Mr..
Ansley held the close attention of

well received. Oliver Cromwell

Answers to cod Curiosity.

|. When molasses candy is pulled
particles Of air enter it, causing it to
become porous and of light color.
Ii. The Golden Age, synchro-
nous with the reign Of Saturn, was
period of rural simplicity, when
the earth yielded its fruit spontane-
ously, and spring was eternal. The
Silver Age, governed by Jupiter, was
lawless time,, in which the seasons
were first divided; agriculture took
its rise, and men began to hold prop
erty in land. The Brazen Age, or
reign of Neptune, was an epoch of
war and violence; and in the Iron
Age in which Hesiod believed him
self to be living, justice and piety
had disappeared from the face of the
earth.
III. The cause of the inequilater-
al character of mountains is, that
the lateral press ure which caused
the fiexures acted unequally from
the two opposite directions; that
there was showing side and side
of greater resistance. The front and
rear features in the ranges must have
been made through a side push,
through ashove from one direction
that facing the steepest and most
numerous folds-and resistance, or
less movement on the opposite
side.
". The sun always shines in di-
rection nearly perpendicular on tie
equator, and with different degrees
of obliquity on the other parts of
the earth. When light falls oblique-
ly on an opaque body it is reflected
in the opposite direction. Hence.
the shadow of house that is stu
ated north of 234s north of the
equator and south of the artic circle,
will always fall to the north.
Y. Gotham is parish in Noting
hamshire, England, which has long
been celebrated for the remarkable
stupidity of its inhabitants, three Of
whom went to sea in bowl.
vi. The mines of rock salt, near
the source of the Vistula, in Austria,
are the most remarkable in the
world.
VII. CASTLE soap was originally
brought from a province in Spain
called CASTLE; hence its name.
TX. The Silures were tribe who
ancienty inhabited a part of Eng
land and Wales.
y. The Cossacks were a military
people, skillful as horsemen, inhab-
iting the southern and southeastern
portions of Russia.
ri. Sir James Macintosh, was a
British statesman and philosopher,
born in Scotland, 1865; died in Eng
land, 1882.
MI. The difference between the
parts of flower and the flower of
the grasses is, that grass has only
husky calyx, called glume, and the
seed single, and flower calyx, cor
rolla, stamens and pistil.
N1II. Buccaneers was q name APP
piled to bands of French and Eng
lisS freebooters in the West Indies
in the seventeenth century, who
committed depredations ON conn.,
merce. The name was originally
applied To the French who settled in |
Hispaniola, and who subsisted on
the dried flesh of wild cattle.

Richard Lane, the popular dem
ocratic candidate for Sheriff, was
in Mineral Point on Saturday
last, and was cordially greeted by
very many of his friends, who
will take pleasure in helping to
ratify his nomination at the polls
in November. The Democrat stated
Il few weeks ago that Dick Lane
would be the next Sheriff of Iowa
county; and it knew then as it
knows now, unless all signs fail,
that such will be the fact: OF
course rs matter of courtesy a
few ballots will be cast for his re-
publican and prohibition oppo-
nents, but that Lane will receive
an almost unanimous vote is now
pretty generally conceded.

HON. JAMES RYAN FOR MEMBER
OF THE ASSEMBLY.

The reelection of Hon. JAS.
Ryan TO the assembly from this
district would be not only de-
served compliment to a deserving
and worthy man but would be a
fitting endorsement of his course
in the legislature last winter, as
a representative of what was then
the northern district of this county.
His career as a legislator won for
him the name OF being an able.
honest, and energetic member, who
was always alive to the interests
of his costituents, and one who
could not be led from the path of
duty by persons fostering sectional
prejudice and spite. If this dis
trict sends him as their representa-
tive they will have one who will
discharge his duties in manner
that will reflect credit on the dis
trict ard even win from his polit-
zeal opponents words of praise, as
he did at the end of his term
last spring when the Mineral Point
Tribune paid him very high COM
plirnent which was well deserved.

We have never believed any of the
numerous republican campaign doc
uments which in past years we
have read, but this year having
read carefully the circular pub
lished in the interest of Geo. c.
Fl azelton, and the one circulated in
support OF E. w, Reyes, both the
republican nominees for congress,
we are forced to admit they are
both true except as to matters
mentioned or information and be-
lief, and as to these matters we
believe them to be true. From
Hazelton's standpoint Reyes is a
consummate, uhprincipled, political
trickster, and in Keyes' circular
Hazelton is all that and much
more. Truth is mighty and will
prevail.

The State Limo Mine suit.

The suit recently instituted inLyon
county by the managers of the state
Line mine to have AN attachment tor
u large sum of money dissolved, is
attracting some attention, but the
merits Of the case are not generally
understood. J. Nj. Selover. one OF
principal stockholders IN the com
pany, at present in this city, came
out from New York last Decent Der
To adjust The affairs Of the company,
whic h had been muddled up some
what by prior management. At
that time a store keeper at Gold
Mountain placed an attachment upon
the property for supplies that were
supposed TO have been furnished but
large portion of which had never been
delivered. MIR. Selover stipu lated
with the man although he could not
prove the whole OF his claim against
the Stale Line, he would pay him
the greater portion of it in cash and
the balance when it was taken out Of
the mine. This was agreed to; but
the store keeper subseqanIly acted
in bad faith by surreptitiously
suing the company for q larger
amount ofmoney, which Is claimed
as not being due him, and getting
Judgment by default. The suit of the
State Line people is to contest the
judgment which they consider fraud
slent and unjust. They are willing
to pay every dollar that they justly
owe, but not another cent.-Cdrson
