The experiment of propelling street cars

Hearing recitations Colonel Parker of

means Teaching is the bringing Of new ideas

into new creatures of the imagination. All
that teacher can do is TO lead the ohild's
mind to act, 10 acquire knowledge. Rote
learning is simply intoxicating stupidity, both
in pupil and teacher. II will be happy day
for the public schools when all teachers are
made 10 understand these plain truths.

EASTER.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE GREAT CHURCH FEsIr.
VAL, ITS CUSTOMS AND FESTIVITIES, WITH
TR1PLET OF EASTER SONGS.
The Easter festival is probably older than
Christmas and its celebration has been as
universal. The pious have called it the
"Queen of Festivals" The Easter salutation
"Chrst is risen, and the response "Christ is
risen indeed and hath appeared unto Simon"
we derive from the prmative Christians.
Each nation has its peculiar Easter customs,
the idea common to them all being that Of
exultation and rejoicing. 1t is an old legend
that the very sun dances for joy in the sky on
Easter morning. All manner Of sports and
ceremonies peculiar to Easter are rehearsed
by those curious in folk lore. One Of tho less
innocent of them was the stoning Of Jews, a
sort of righteous recreation pursued with
great zest at this season by good Christians
of the Middle ages. As regards the celebra-
ton of Easter in the country, It was until Of
late years confined pretty much TO the Roman
Catholics and Episcopalians, the Puritans
having indoctrinated their descendants with
great jealousy of the church festivals and
ceremonies which in their minds were identi-
fed with ecclesiastical tyranny and corrup.
ton. But in these latter days those who are
nevertheless proud to call the Puritans their
ancestors entertain somewhat more sensible
views on these subjects, and Easter is every
year receiving more marked recognition from
Protestant churches

A YOUNG GIRLS BRAVERY. legisla-
ture of Iowa has just voted to give Kate Shell
ly, a l6-years-old Irish girl, gold medal and
$500 for her bravery in saving passenger
train from fatal plunge into Honey Creek,
near Moingona, Boone county. During the
night of the 9Th of July, 1881, the bridge
over the stream had gone down in a storm
with an engine and tender that fell 25 feet in
to the rushing water. Kate Shelly, hearing
the plunge aud cries for help, hastily rugged
up an old lantern, and through the thick
brushwood around the curve of bluff, hur-
ried to the broken bridge. When she reached
it two of the men were drowned, but the en-
gineer had climbed into tree above the swOl-
len stream She told him to Lold on and he
would be saved, but suddenly remembered
that the passenger train from the west was
nearly due. Lightning was flashing at short
intervals, and she knew that the engineer of
the passenger train could not recognize her
feeble light. The only chance Of warning
was to reach the station at Moingona, mile
away so she started on a run along the
track The long bridge over the Des Moines
river had to be crossed to reach Moingona,
and over il she erept on her hands and knees.
At length she reached the station, and fell
fainting in the doorway, but was reused in
time to save the train. Then, guiding par
ty of men to the bridge at Honey creek, she
saved the lives of two who had clung'to trees
and roots, but the others were never found.
Kate was dangerously i'll for a long time after
her brave nights work; but the story of her
heroism brought experienced doctors, who
made her well again, and valuable gifts were
sent her from many places. Iowa boasts in
her q new Grace Darling, and the bravery of
this little Irish girl will long be told in song
and story.

Death of an Old wIndham County Ma.

George W. Sherwin was found dead in his
bed at the residence of III. @. Babcock, in No.
Temescal, Cal, on Friday morning, 81 inst.
A post mortem examination showed the cause
of death to be Bright's disease of the kidneys
and cancerous affection of the liver. He had
been great sufferer for the past four years,
but was only confined to his bed one day at
the last.
Mr.. Sherwin was born in Newfane, Vt,
July 6, 1902, but removed TO Boston at Rn
early age. In the year 1852 he went to Cali
fornia aud has lived in Sau Francisco most of
the time since. Although in his SOth year,
his mind was vigorous and his memory unim-
paired, and his "reminiscences of early times
and events were very interesting. Like many
and he died far from home and the friends
most near to him. A cousin and her four
daughters we're all the relatives he had in
California, and it was their privilege to min
lister to his wants during most Of the past few
years. Ons of his few pleasures was the pc
rusal of The PHOENIX, which he valued very
highly. How eagerly he read the local items,
often finding familiar name We who
knew his CHEEKY, hopeful nature, which sup
ported him under neglect and disappoint-
ments, will miss him; and we are thankful
that we, rather than strangers, smoothed the
snOw-white locks and did all that tender, low
ing hands could do for the poor old man. He
rests on beautiful, sunny hillside in Noun
tain View cemetery, Oakland, and his memo
ry will long remain green as the lovely wreath
we left on his grave. He leaves sou and
daughter and many other relatives in Yer
mont Massachusetts, and elsewhere.

Canada has leased 734, III acres of land
in the northwest territories to stockmen for
2l years at $40 per 1000 acres year, and
has applications for nearly 100000 acres
more.
in the grammar classes of the New
Hampshire schools a system has been adopt
ed by which a teacher devotes her time out
of school and her instruction during school
hours to particular study, passing thus into
three or more rooms each day, and bringing
the members of as many classes under her
immediate care. State Superintendent Bent
says in regard to this matter when teach
ers have been working together, and have
shown in what particular direction their tastes
lie, each may be asked TO adopt certain
branch of instruction, and vacancies can be
filled by promotion, as experience points to
particular fitness. But when those subjects
are assigned, and the work begins, the faith
full teacher, no longer expected to scatter her
energies over a wide range of studies, collects
as many treRtises as possible and makes the
learning aud science of many minds contrib
ute 10 her stock in trade. It can also be ar
ranged that she remain with the classes she
teaches during their study hour, thus giving
them the benefit OF her knowledge while they
are preparing their lessons, and carrying out
the modern view Of the teachers duty, which
Is something far different from hearing les
sons"

Miscellany.



A little brown bird on a hawthorn-tree
Sat singing beside his nest;
And maid came tripping over the lea,
And sweet was the maid to hear and sec,
With vlolets at her breast.
Aud thus she sang with a smile and sigh:
1.-THE rain falls swift and white,
The sun shines warm and bright,
And the thoughts Of love are an April sky.
"For the April skies are but sun and rain,
And the woodland ways are cool;
And love is a little pleasure and pain,
And the maiden who thinks II will remain
Is only an April fool"
Then she kissed her flowers with a smile and sigh
20 yiolets blue, you know
That love will come and 60.
Aud the heaven Of love Is an April sky"
The little brown bird on the hawthorn-tree
Stood up on tiptoe to sing:
"Whereyer a maid or a bird may be,
On the fresh green earth or the deep blue sea,
oh, love Is the sweetest thingl-
The sweetest thing IN a loyal breast,
Let the sunshine come or go,
That bird or q maid can know
Tho sweetest thing In little brown nest!"
And the maiden laughed, and the sun shone bright
And blue were the April skies;
'tAhi bird" she said, "ln a maiden's sight
Whatever love does is exactly right,
And the Apr-fools wise
For, though the rain ralneth every day,
Yet the drifting clouds may go,
And the budding roses blow
Weeping April may md a smiling May"

Mary Fletcher Hospital Training
Achool for Nnraea.

tFrom the Burlington Free Press.l
We are glad to announce that as the result
Of several conferences among our physicians,
OF which we made mention a short time since
the directors of the Mary Fletcher hospital
have organized, in connection with the hospi-
tal a school for nurses with the above title
thus adding one more to the institutions of
Vermont OF an educational and charitable
character. The object of the school is, pri-
marily, TO educate female nurses Tor intell-
gent and effective service in the sickroom, and
by so doing to select train and provide clnsG
of competent professional nurses both for es-
tablishments and private families. The requi-
sites for admission TO the school are that pu-
pills must be between 20 and 40 years of age,
must bring certificates OF sound health and
good moral character, and must pay in ad d.
vance a fee Of $40 for the session. The
course OF instruction will consist of lectures,
recitAtions, demonstrations, and instruction at
the bedside, upon all medical and surgical top
les necessary to fit the pupils for proper care,
as nurses, Of the sick and helpless. A limit
ed number of pupils will be selected to rem
der assistance in the hospital, and such per-
sons will receive, besides the remission of
their tuition fee, lodging and board in the
hospital during their time of service At the
close of the session pupils will be examined
in all the branches taught, and a record of
their proficiency will be kept for reference.
The managing committee of the trimming
school will act as an employment bureau, for
the benefit of nurses approved by them, and
of those who may desire the services of COM
petent nurses This last is charitable fea-
ture of the school which will undoubtedly
commend itself to the people of this and sd-
joining states, as we'll as to the nurses them
selves The first session of the school opens
at the hospital on Tuesday, May 2, and will
continue four weeks. DIR. A. j. Willard, su-
perintendent of the hospital and chairman Of
the managing committee, will give all neces-
sary information in regard to the school and
employment bureau to those desiring it.

Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,
For Jesus hath risen, and man cannot die;
Vain were the terrors that gathered around Him,
Aud short the dominion Of death aud the grave;
He burst from the feters Of tina. bound Him
Resplendent in glory to live aud to save:
Loud was the chorus Of angels on high
The Saviour hath risen, and man shall not die.
Glory to God In full anthems Of Joy,
The being He gave us death cannot destroy:
sad were the life we must part with tomorrow,

But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley Of sorrow,
And bade us, immortal, to Heaven ascend:

II would be difficult, if not impossible, to
say which or what of the Easter customs are
still continued in England. In Scotland,
where the great festivals are said to have been
suppressed for centuries, the young people
they roll about, throw to each other, and fin
ally eat. It is said in some of the counties
OF England, 'lifting" or ''heaving" is said TO
be still in fashion-on Easter Monday the
men lift the women, and on Eastern Tuesday
the women lift the men. In some other coun-
ties, on these days, games are played, and
cakes carried round as Easter offerings. Its
