Competitive Cram.

In an Introductory lecture in physiology 1t
the University of st. Andrews, Scotland, Prof.
Pettigrew strongly denounced cram and the
competitive examination system. Among other
things he said: ''The ancients believed that men
varied as to intellectual capacity and endow-
ment. an that 1t was the province of education
to draw out of the man that which naturally
inhered In him. The more modern-and he be-
lieved the less philosophic-- view takes for
that everything might be put into them by
process Of examining The ancients aimed at
teaching men to think and judge; the moderns
had no soul above passing examinations and
getting on in the world. AS psychologist, my
sympathies are wholly with the ancicnts."

Brete Harte.

Francis Bret Harte was born In Albany N
Y, In 1889. From his parents he inherited
English, German. and Hebrew blood His
father. a man of some culture and ability, was
q professor in the Albany Female college. Some
years after his birth his father died, and in 1854
the family moved to California. Living in the
rude mining settlements of the interior, and
minglng with the rough characters that
peopled them, the boy absorbed from actual ex-
perience many Of the incidents which afterward
grew under his magic touch into the now IA
miliar idyls OF the embattled diggings, the law
years of his life in California he had all the
mixed fortunes of pioneer, and tried his hand
at many means of livelihood. For a time he
was compOsitOr in q newspaper office at Eu-
reka; then he mined for himself, without largely
Increasing his fortune. As school-teacher he
was able to indulge more literally the literary
taste awakened by his work as printer These
latter experiences afterward grew, with all
their natural color and textures, into the dell
cate study entitled :'M'liss." years work as
express messenger gave him the clear-cut pic
lures Of Yuba Bill and other knights of the
stage. In 1857 Mr.. Harte came to San Fran
cisco, taking his place as a compositor In the
Office Of the Golden Era. few Bohemian
sketches written as copy brought him under the
favorable notice Of the editor, and he was at
once translated from the case to the desk.
Those were busy days, aud much of the matter
ground out in that time ofprobation Is as preg-
nant with genius and bright with wit as any
that he has seen fit to retain in his complete
edition. It was in 1868 that his first sketch an
peared in the east. Jessie Benton Fremont, In
those days one of the most cultivated women In
California, took a great interest in the young
author, and it was on her recommendation that
the atlantic published the Legend of Monte
Diablo"-a piece of work that shows what Bret
Harte might have accomplished as q reporter If
his tastes had not carried him into fiction.-The

The Diamond Rattlesnake.

From the Toledo Blade.
ordinarily the jingle of handful of rings is
not an unpleasant sound, but whenpit happens
that these rings are fastened to six or seven feet
of serpent as thick as a mans wrist. and that
serpent is armed with the whitest and sharpest
of fangs. nearly an inch in length, with csterns
OF liquid poison at their base. the music does
not seem cheerful or inspiring. The snake FAM
lily are known to have but little regard for the
doctrine OF moral suasiOn, are apt to be rash In
their conclusions and hasty in their actions. as
well as profoundly Indifferent to argument or
apology, reason and pOliteness being en-
tirely wasted on them. Only distance or brute
force suffiees to restrain their insane pro-
pensity to probe every living thing within reach
of those delicate needles of worry. AS the "big
Indian" among his lesser braves, so is the dia-
mOnd rattlesnake of the southern states among
other American serpents Dressed In q brOwnish
cOlOred coat plaided with lighted lines in diamond
shaped blocks, and with dignity and independ-
ence stamped on every curve and motion, the
sleek. oily-lOOking rascal glides slowly through
"hamOk" and scrub" terror to man
and beast. turning aside for none. nor going
out of his way to attack any unless pressed
by hunger. which seldom happens in this
climate where animal life abounds. As he
moves quietly along, his wicked little eyes seem
to emit a greenish light and shine with as much
briliancy as the jewels of finished coquette
Nothing seems to escape his observation, and
VII tuC UOScucuI near Hifu lie swings
into his fighting attitude, raising his upper jaw
and erecting his fangs. which. in a state of
repose, lie closely packed in the soft muscles
of his mouth. This snake is not as active
as his copperhead cousin Of the north nor
so quick to strike, but one blow is almost
always fatal. His fangs are so long that they
penetrate deep into the muscles and veins of
his victim, who has little time for more than a
single goodbye before closing his eyes forever
The writer has measured these fangs, and in one
instance found them seven-eighths Of AN inch In
length, and though not thicker than a common
sewing needle, yet perforated with a hole
through which the greenish yellow liquid could
be forced In considerable quantities, and in the
case above mentioned each of the sacs contained
about half teaspOOnful. The fangs are only
pierced about twO-thirds their entire length.
