Old Uncle Nose was hired to remove

old rascal piled on very little loads, he
being paid by the load.

Yerger, ''if you had put decent sized

ize dates to-day only to be forgotten
tomorrow. "By means Of history"
says Montaigne, "the pupil enjoys
intercourse with the great men of
of the best periods but he must
learn, not so much the year and day
OF the destruction Of city, as noble
traits Of character not so much &C.
curences, as to- form correct judg-
iment upon them" If an event be
known. its date can be easily gotten
by reference. The literary man and
the historian find their dates thus,
then why, require the pupils to men,
orize them. Is 1t any wonder that
history is a cry study by the COM
mon method of teaching. Nor does
it end here, for the hatred of the
study of history in school generally
continues with the person through
life, and his adult reading is wholly
fiction instead of as equally interest
i"g fact. One great object in teach
ing history then, is to cultivate a
taste for the study, which cannot be
done so long as we make it task
and neglect TO connect the import
ant events. Perhaps the greatest
cause of this method of teaching is
the present manner of examining
teachers in this branch. The ques-
tons asked are often of too local a
nature. Unfortunately, also, exam
ination questions too often run to
dates, because such questions are
easiest to be asked from the book,
and easiest to be credited. Then let
examiners look we'll to the questions
they ask, as we'll as the answers re.
ceived.

+ The July number Of the North
American Review opens with an arti-,
Gle from Pres. J.H. Seeley, on.dynamite
as factor in civilization. 1t is a clear
and calm look at that turbulence in
human nature that seeks to rule by
force and fear. These are not des-
tined to rule because, "there never
is wanting the witness of the supreme
presence, (righ). which rules in all
states and claims ascendency IN all
souls, and which in some way, does
contrive to get the mastery over force
and fear" Force and fear are able
to rule only as right rules them.
Government itself will not cease"
"society will not commit suicide"
"lhen * +" are men only as they
are members Of society,"" Advanc-
ing civilization increases the power
and necessity of civil government.
."The attempted application of an
archical theories, therefore, to the
civilized world will find itself him
dered quite as mnch by popular
instinct as by governmental resist
ance.' The writer combats the idea
that the well being of society de-
ponds on the adjustment of conflict
ing interests, or on self interest. He
maintains that it is to come by self
sacrifce-by love that "seeketh
not her own" The charge that ours
is superficial age is objected to
and some of its vast accomplishments
mentioned to show its achievements
real and lasting. Its very hopeful
christian article, calculated to infuse
courage into any mind that is too
easily moved toward doubt about
the increase of righteousness.
A non-church-goer and three d.,
DIS write about church attendance.
The position of the non-church.goer
is, that church attendance is on the
wane because theology has fallen to
the rear, because the church pro-
scribes thought and free inquiry.
The pulpit is behind the age. The
other reason assigned is financial
to much pew rent and collection box.
DIR. Ward makes reply-showing the
falsity of the charge that church at

waning. Over ten million people

course anyone who has paid any
heed TO church statistics knows that
the proportion of church member
ship to our population has increased
at a vastly larger ratio than our pop
ulation has, three times as great.
The replies of others are in the same
direction.
O. b. rockingham has q gloomy
kind of article on democracy and
Moral Progress" yet it is timely and
in many respects correct.
Gen. p. H. Sheridan gives very
vivid description of the "Last days

OF the circumstances surrounding the
the surrender Of Gen. Lee.
"Cruelty to Children" an article
by Eldridge 7. Gerry, shows an in
crease in the last decade of 37o,Ioa
children between the ages of ten
and fifteen pursuing "gainful" occu-
pations. The writer shows our ma
ton far behind Europe in the pro-
lection Of helpless children. The
article should be read by the labor
ing class who are the direct sufferers
from such overworking Of the young.
Other articles are "rhe Increase
of Public Expenditure" "Needed

"Science and the Imagination
SANITARY Drainage" The present
number seems specially appropriate
for the common people--being OF
such practical turn.

A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
"Her Second Love-" and the I'm
portant Secret She Reveals for
the Benefit of Women.
New York World.)

Several years ago the American
public were aroused by the entree
upon the stage of little lady who
had been previously but little an
nounced. She was one of an innu-
merable number of aspirants for pub
lie favor and had no instrumentality,
aside from her own talents to cause
recognition. In spite of this fact,
however, she quickly achieved a
warm place in the heart of the pub
lie which she has continued to hold
ever since. When it was announced,
therefore, that Miss Maude Granger
would star the coming season in the
play "Her Second Love-" written by
Mr.. John A. Stevens, it was only
natural that unusual interest should
be manifested not only in theatrical
circles, but in other branches of the
community. This was specially the
case, as it was known that Miss
Granger had, for the past year, been
in exceedingly delicate health, and the
determination to. star in a strong
emotional play was the more sur
prising. One of the staff of this pa.
per was accordingly deputized to
see the popular lady and verify the
rumor or announce its lncorrectness.
Miss Granger's countenance is ia
miliar to nearly every one in the
United States. 1t is face once
seen never to be forgotten. Feat
lures remarkable in their outline and
contour are surmounted by pair of
large and deep eyes indicative of the
greatest soul power. 1t is easy to
see where Miss Granger obtains the
ability to portray characters Of the
most emotional nature. She possess
es within herself the elements of
feeling without which no emotion
can be conveyed to an audience.
The man of news found the lady
at her home in this city and was &C.
corded a quiet welcome. 1t was
evident at once that she was in
greatly improved health, which the
expression and color of her counte-
nance both indicated.
Ms it true, Miss Granger, that you
contemplate starring tour the COM
ing season ?"
"Yes, indeed. My season begins
in Chicago on the 10th of July.
From there I 60 to San Francisco
and then play the remainder of the
season through the eastern and west
ern states"
"Are you confident your health
will permit such an undertakings"
A ringing laugh was the first re-
ply to this question, after which she
said
Certainly. 1t is true have been
i'll for the past two years, but now /
am wholly recovered. Few people
can have any idea of the strain con-
scientious actress undergoes in essay
ing an emotional part. 1t is neces-
sary to put ones whole soul into the
work in order to. rightly portray the
character. This necessitates an utter
abandonment of ones personality and
an assumption Of the character por-
trayed. If this is an emotional part
it is necessary to feel the same
emotions the part is supposed to feel.
For more than year actually cried
each night in certain passage of a
part l was playing. The audience
considered it art. Probably it was,
but those we're none the less real
tears and the effect was none the less
trying upon my health"
"But do you anticipate avoiding
this in the future }"
"Not in the least. 1 expect to

have just as great strain as before
but with restored health and knowl-
edge of how to retain it | do not
fear"
"You speak of knowledge Of how
to retain health Will you please
explain what you mean by that ?"
"You must be aware thar women
by their very natures are subject to
troubles and Affections unknown to
the sterner sex The name of these
troubles is legion, but in whatever
form they may come they are weak
nesses which interfere with every
ambition and hope il life. l be-
lieve thousands of noble women are
to-day suffering agonies of which
even their best friends and relatives
know little or nothing, and when |
reflect upon it l confess it makes Inc
sad. Now all this misery arises large
ly from an ignorance of the laws of
life or neglect to carefully observe
them. | speak from the depths of a
bitter experience in saying this, and
am thankful know the means of
restoration, and how to remain in
perfect health"
"Please explain more fully"
"Wel, l have found a remedy
which seems specially adapted for this
very purpose. 1t is pure and palata-
BILE and controls the health and life
as, l believe, nothing else will. 1t is
really invaluable and if all the women
in America were 10 use it l am quite
sure most of the suffering and many
deaths might be avoided"
"What is this wonderful remedy ?"
"Warner's Safe Cure"
"And you use it?"
"Constantly."
"And hence believe you will be
able to go through the coming season
SUCCESSFULLY"
81 am quite certain of it."
ga few questions more, Miss
Granger. Will you please give me a
list OF the parts you have created and
the plays you have taken part in
since your first appearance in pub
lie ?"
81 first played for some time with
the amateurs in New York and
Brooklyn. l then went to the Union
Square theatre for two seasons, after
that to the Boston Globe for one sea-
son and then to Booths theatre in
this city. Next supported John
Mccullough and afterwards starred
in Juliet, Camille, Rosalind, etc.
Subsequently l created the part of
Cicely Blaine in the Galley Slave
and also starred in Two Nights in
Rome, playing the part of Antonio.
The past year l have been playing
in the Planters Wife, and the COM
ing season, as | have said, will be de-
voted to "Her Second Love"
AS the writer was returning home
he fell into train of musing and won
dering if all the women in the land
who are suffering could only know
Miss Changers experience and the
remarkable results achieved by the
pure remedy she used, how much
suffering might be avoided and how
much happiness secured.
