The following good story is told
ola Jamaica Plain, Mass, republican
who told his wife, a few days before
election, that if Massachusetts, went
democratic he should leave the
state, and added that he meant it,
too Upon waking the morning
after election, he remarked that his
olfactories were not greeted with the
usual odors from the kitchen, and
going to the door, he called his wife
to inquire the cause, noting, at the
same time that preparations to move
were going on down stairs. She
informed him quietly that the State
had gone democratic, and he called
savagely for paper that he might
know the worst. 1t was brought to
him. and he was closeted with it for
some time, then, coming to the door,
he shouted to his wife: ''Get the
breakfast, Mary, no matter about
moying-there isn't any place to go

We deem, the H6fis Important En-
shusiasti is ratrliifir.
2. We must rtfrare L aefhiie

we must express the,f II, nfaih lsh=
gaage.
l. The teacher sheala have
goodly stock If sensible illustrations
on hand, and pupils should be re-
qaired ~ give illustrations Of the
same kind Fur example, tho stand
ard sentences. John saws wood
and Mary Rews neatly should be
ruled out of our grammar classes;
and good and interesting ones should
be put in their places.
5, Teachers should speak in
pleasant and natural tone and at the
same time be positive.
=. Teachers should avoid repeat
ing the pupils answer, unless it is
done for the sake of clothing the
thought in better words.
Z. 1t is a good plan for the teacher
to stand during the recitation, es-
pecially if the class is large. Of
course it is better for the teacher to
sit, if standing a great part of the
time proves too great a drain upon
his stock of energy.t
8. Members of c..ass should not
be called upon in regular order, and
the question should be stated by the
teacher before he calls upon any one
to answer it.
8. Whenever a dreamy eye or in
attentive face is noted, the owner
should be required to continue the
work in hand.
10. Very dull or very bright,
pupils should not have too large a
share of the time devoted to them.
The talkative ones can be restrained,
and those who need extra help can
be assisted outside of the class.
IL. Each pupil should be required
to reclte in tone sufficiently strong
and distinct to be heard by all of
the class. The drawl of the school
room is unnatural and destroys at
tention.
II Teachers should vary their
methods. We are quite apt to fall
into ruts, and thus make more tire
some the tedious routine of school
work
Is. 1t is our duty to demand an
attitude of attention.
IA. Our experience has taught us
that it is good plan to require the
entire class TO stand during part of
the recitation. This plan works
well in all classes, when the class is
reciting in concert, taking rapid
review, doing quick work in arith-
metic, or any work of this kind; but
we also use it whenever the class
grows listless or restless.
10. Last in my list ofaids, though
not least in Importance, | place the
use of the blackboard. Crayon
should be used in all classes by
teacher and pupil.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
people of twenty-six states out of
the thirty eight states of the Union
have cast off the republican party,
and the further fact that congress
has been taken out of the control
of that party, and passed over to
the control of the democrats, there
are still to be found many polit-
ical blatherskites proclaiming that
the democratic party ought not to
be trusted. If the democracy is
such monster as they would
have us believe where will the
country be at the close of the next
two years during which time the
democrats will be in power.

This none can deny, especially when

that Electric Bitters are woman's true

PARTISAN republicans just no W
are far more anxious for the vel
fare of their party than for the
welfare of the country. They ex-
press themselves as hopeful that
the democrats during the next
session of congress will make SO
many mistakes that the people will
cast them off and again place the
republican party in power. They
do not want the democrats to
rightly administer the affairs Of
government; but republican success
is of much more importance to
them.

In a speech delivered at Darling
ton at the close of the war ex-
Governor Lucius Fairchild said:
They tell us that the democratic
party is dead; but | tell you my
friends, if the democratic party Is
dead, it is the liveliest corpse !

ex-governor and his party think
of the democratic corpse about
this time? If democracy has been
dead then surely there has been a
resurrection from the dead.
