What Shall We Teach

In our public schools we need that
training which prepares us Tor lies
work-a training which will anticipate
our future occupation. Too much time
is now wasted upon useless matter and
unnecessary details.
Language, iterAtr"e, aud mathema-
tics must be studied, that the pupils
may gain the power of verbal ezpres'
sion. Free hand and mechanical draw
ing and shading must form part OF
the drill, so as to gain the POWER OF
pictorial expression. Mechanical and
industrial training is needed to train
the band and eye, develop the body,
and give a useful direction to the
thought. All this may give culture
but the eye has not been taught to see
nor has the mind been informed. The
laws of moving bodies, the composition
of matter and the varied forms OF ami
mate and inanimate nature shouia DC
known as far as discovered.
The field to study is usually unvisit-
cd. The natural and physical sciences
have been too long sighted. They must
become a part of the daily work OF the
school room. The observing powers
of the childs mind must be cultivated
by having its attention directed to the
forms of mineral, animal, and vegetable
life.
Object lessons should be given every
day, in systematic order in the ma ::
tural and physical sciences. The basis
for classification must be laid in ia
miliarity with the forms of nature.
The elements Of chemistry, minerelo-
gy, and biology can be learned by a
child Before its mind is able to grasp
the truths of arithmetic.

japanese Farms.

The villages now succeeded one
another very rapidly, and between
them not q single house married the
views of the fields. The farms are
St parated by narrow paths, and all the
laborers live in the villages. In front
OF many of the houses we saw great
wooden mortars, in which the women
were pounding rice to remove the husks.

the heads from tie straw. Standing in
the street, whele the wind is strongest,
men and woman were tanning the grain
by pouring it from one vessel to an
o.her, allowing the wind to sweep away
the shaft. Passing on We came to a
house where they were converting the
grain into flour. Great heavy pestle7,
worked by the feet, were suspended
over huge mortars. in which the grain
was placed. and little by little the gra'n
was ground. 1t is rare, however, for
the people to convert the rice into flour.
and then only enough for their own
use.--Detroit Free Press.

Our Increase OF Wealth.

The increase of wealth in the United
States during the last eighty years has
been materially greater than the in
creased advance per capita. In 1900
the wealth of the United States was but
S11O,OOO,OOO, a per capita of $40.
Since then it has grown to $4,000
100000, a per capita of 1890. This is
the most remarkable advance of actual
wealth in financial history, as there was
but a population of 100000 in the re-
public in $500.

THE OLD HOME.

O little house lost in the heart of the lindens, What would not give to behold you once more! To inhale once again the sweet breath of your roses, And the starry clematis that climbed round your door To see the neat windows thrown wide to the sunshine; The porch where we sat at the close of the day, Where the weary foot trav'ler was welcome to rest him, And the beggar was never sent empty away; The wainscoted walls and the low-rafted cell ings; To hear the loud tick of the clock on the stair, And to kiss the dear face bending over the Bible, That always was laid by my grandmother's chair! O bright little garden beside the plantation, Where the tall feurs- de-lis their blue banners unfurled,
 blackbirds,
 world My sweet pink pea-cluster My rare honey suckle My prim polyanthuses all of row In garden of dreams still pass and caress you, But your beautiful selves are forever laid low For your walks, little house, long ago have been leveled; Alien feet your smooth borders, O garden, have trod; And those whom loved are at rest from their labors, Reposlng in peace in the bosom of God

"We were up before sunrise and got into our boat. It was calm then. We rowed short time, but then gave it up and went ashore and lay down on the rocks and went to sleep. An Indian came along and woke us up, and asked if we were lost. We said we were. His squaw was in boat. We asked him how far it was to house. He said it was twenty-two miles, and asked if we were hungry. He then got some bread and pork from his boat. I could not eat, but drank some cold tea.
 "Tinkis offered the Indian his watch to take us to Parry Sound. We had but little to eat on the way. The squaw made me bed in the boat, and slept there on Sunday night quite comforta- ply. Tinkis never gave up, except on Saturday morning, when we lay down on the rocks to die. I thought of the Babes in the woods, but saw no hope of rescue"

A Desperate.

Among the convicts in the Texas penitentiary is John Wesley Hardin, who was formerly the most dreaded desperado in De Witt County. He is said to have killed twenty-one men. The whole community trembled before him. Nobody attempted to interfere with him. The officers of the law looked the other way when he passed. This was largely owing to the fact that two fam1lies, the Suttons and Taylors, carried on 8 terrible warfare, in which large part of the population took part on one side or the other. It was ven- detta that cost many lives. But the law got Wesley Hardin into it's clutches at last, most of the Taylors and Suttons were killed off, and De Witt County is to-day one of the most orderly in the State,

The man from Ionia County finally thought he'd make few inquiries, and beckoning to stal- wart black who had spent the last two hours on the ourbstone, he asked:
 "Have you any work to do ?"

 Have you ever tried farming?'

WHY KEROSENE EXPLODES.

Certainly one who reads the following explanation of why kerosene lamp bursts (puhlished in the Christian Union, will be foolhardy if he should pour kero- sene on the fire or into lighted lamp. Most persons suppose that it is the kero. sene itself which explodes, and that if they are very careful to keep the oil itself from being touched by the fire of the light, there will be no danger. But this is not so.
 If can or lamp is left about half full of kerosene oil, the oil will evaporate 8 little, and will form, by mingling with the air in the upper part of the lamp, very explosive gas.
 You cannot see this gas any more than you can see air. But if it is dis turbed and driven. out, and blaze reaches it, there will be a terrible ex- plosion, although the blaze did not touch the oil.
 There are several other liquids used in houses and workshops which will produce an explosive vapor in this way. Benzine is one; burning-fuid is an. other; and naphtha, alcohol, ether, chloroform, may do the same thing.
 In New York workshop, lately, there was can of benzine, or gasoline, standing on the floor. A boy sixteen years old lighted cigarette, and threw the burning match on the floor close to thu can.
 He did not dream there was an danger, because the liquid was corked up in the can. But there was a great explosion, and he was badly hurt. This seems very mysterious. The prob ability is that the can had been standing there good while and good deal of vapor had formed, some of which had leaked out around the stopper and was hanging in sort of invisible cloud over and around the eau; and this cloud, when the match struck it, exploded.
 Suppose girl tries to fill kerosene lamp without first blowing it out. Of course the lamp is nearly empty, or she would not care to fill it. This empty space is filled with cloud of explosive vapor arising from the oil in the lamp.
 When she pushes the nozzle of the can into the lamp at the top, and begins to pour, the oil, running into the lamp, fills the empty space and pushes the cloud of explosive vapor up; the vapor is obliged to pour out over the edges of the lamp, at the top, into the room outside.
 Of course it strikes against the blazing wick which the girl is holding down by one side. The blaze of the wick sets the invisible cloud of vapor a-fire, and there is an explosion which ignites tine oil and scatters it over her clothes and over the furniture of the room. This is the way in which a kerosene-lamr bursts.
 The same thing may happen when g girl pours the oil over the fire in the range or stove. if there is cloud of ex- plosive vapor in the upper part of the can, or if the stove is hot enough tc vapor1ze quickly some of the oil as il falls.
 Remember that it is not the oil but the invisible vapor which explodes. Taking care of the oil will not protect you. There is no safety except in the rule: Neve pour oil on lighted fire o1 into lighted lamp.
