ways used when they met. He was sur
prised to find these evidences of polite
ness among people the most remote and
isolated from any civilized influences.
The women, he says, have some pride OF
dress. and so do the men, though inside
their houses they strip down to one gar
ment about the loins, taking off their
furs; and the women take pride in keep
ing their houses what they regard as
clean, though it would not pass for clean
illness anywhere else. They have no
idea Of accommodating for the future, and
are primitiyely communistic about their
food. II one family has meat and the
other families in the village have none,
they all eat of the supply until it is gone
or they can get more, and if one village
has food and another none, the hungry
ones come over and eat with those who
have something. They live on from
hand to mouth, and there are evidences
of annihilated villages where, lis reason
able to suppose, something has occurred
to prevent the getting of meat. and so
all have starved to death.
1t is no more than fair to state that
these interesting facts came out in con-
versation in which the narrator had no
suspicion that any of the incidents that
he related would get into print, but they
are none the less readable for coming in
formally in this Washington Re-
publican.

The man who tells of misfortune and

Mr.. Beeeher on the Horse.

Mr. Beecher said he had not dared tC
trust himself to the delivery of an ex.
temporaneous address. and he hoped the
audience would bear with him, while he
read from manuscript. ''1n fact, you've
got to-" he said. s'H1man life may he
of more importance than the life of an
ANIMAL" he continued, land vet the
veterinary surgeon NAV rank as high rs
him who ministers to humanity. A man
need not necessarily be an ass because
he cares for horses. If ever there was o
faithful animal it was the horse. In the
opalescent vision of st. John in the
Apocalypse the horse was deemed worthy
of being associated with the gods. Low
ing liberty, how readily he submits tc
bondage. He is ten times stronger than
man, and yet how submissive to mans
will! If horse but knew his rights and
his power no man could abuse or NAL
treat him. His self-abnegation deserved
a better fate. .. He is the servant of all
and the slave of all and abused of all"
He begins life with one year as colt,
and when at last he has ceased to be
useful to the peddler he has '.the only
privilege of his life-the privilege of dy
ing" In war the horse is las sensitive
to danger as the most nervous men.
When the trumpet calls he swallows his
fear and offers his life as readily as a
brave aud patient man. Yet for him
there is no reward. no glittering medal,
no honorable mention in the papers and
no pension.n The draft horse was more
to be admired than the racer. He was
the family friend. What debt was due
him which was never repaid. The
physician uses him from door to door
and collects his inevitable and inexora-
BILE fee, but the horse gets nothing but
the privilege of going again, and often
without even an .oat-stiver.' 1t ought
to give a man pleasure to be called to
minister to the sufferings of this most
human and most abused of all animals"
Then there was the cow, mot the one
that postures at the pump, nor the dis
tillery cow that the devil fosters, but the
COW that lies under the shadowy trees in
summer and looks as sleepy as an Au
gust clergyman" She was the best
physician for children. "This is an age
of humanity" he said, in conclusion.
s.Men are sensitive to suffering rs they
never were before. Cruel laws are pass
ing away, and even cruelty in slaughter
lag animals is discountenanced. Do not
let any man look down on You because
he ministers to mankind while you min
lister to suffering brutes. Let your names
be remembered for your fidelity, your
humanity and your science. FROM an
address before ADlertcan Iieterinary

Spelling and Composition.

Col. w. F. Parker, writing in the Min
nesota Journal of Education, says: We
give to spelling so much of our import
ant time! What is it? 1t is making the
form of word. That is spelling, per
Sc. Oral spelling is the description of a
word, naming its parts. A child can
spell, i. e, learn the letters of a word,
but might merely get it from sound.
Spelling should be description, as if /
drew a house, which would be describing
it. One of old Commenius' principles
is this: Things that have to be done
should be done by doing them" The
powers of the teacher seem to have been
directed to doing a thing by doing some
thing else. As soon as the child begins
to read he spells. Oral spelling should
be put off till the second year to make
sure that he gets the form right The
first year should be given to copying
words. Much teaching is merely at
tempted forcing out of the mind what
has not yet got into it. Never spell any
words for a child unless that child can
follow with the idea, as the pencil traces
che word. He thus learns the written and
the spoken language together learns to
read and write at the same time. II
all the spelling books were piled up
and set on fire they would give more
light to the world than they ever did to
tie school-room! The purpose Of SPELL
ing is composition. In the firss year
provide the pupil with correct copy of
mental pictures. Give sentences. have
the children copy them, and after they
are erased have them reproduce them.
Give the thought of what is spelled. The
next year teach spelling by dictation.
Train child to know when he does
not know a word. He will then never
spell wrong. All spelling can be taught
in composition. Children can be made
to love to talk with the pencil A child
knows a united thought by expressing
or let them tell it orally. All of gram
mar can be taught in beautiful way by
action. Put no false syntaX on the board;
the wrong form is as likely to remain in
the child mind as the ri ght. Be right
from the start. Pictures can be utilized
in the writing of compositions. The
little ones may write one, two or Sbree
sentences only about picture, but by
the second year the child can write a
story about it. In the third year 1t can
write page of composition entirely
correct. Is that not foundation for
grammar? Another way of teaching
composition is to tell the child stories,
and have it reproduce them in its own
words. In object teaching there is as
much nonsense a. in anything else. The
fundamental mis,yke is that teachers
attempt the impossible. They fail to
understand that the child cannot see
what they can see and consequently talk
above their heads.

Large and Small Heads.

Lord Bacon says in one of his ap-
othegms. THAT wise nature did never
put her precious jewels into garnet four
stories high, and therefore that exceed
ing tall men had ever very empty
heads" This saving has often been
used by way of joke at the expense of
tall people, especially those of wit,
genius and reputation.
The same idea is thus quantity put by
witty old Fuller: soften the cockloft
is empty in those whom Nature hath
built many stories high"
Bacon's notion may be true, though
we doubt if facts support it. But there
is another common saying which facts
contradict.
1t asserts That men of great intellectual
powers have large and massive heads.
Goldsmith brings out this vulgar opinion
in the familiar lines about the village
school-master:
And still they gazed, and still the wonder
grew,
That one small head could carry all he knew"
A writer in the Journal of Science says
that the idea that great intellect re-
quires large head is not supported by
facts. .s-
An examination of busts, pictures,
medalliOns. ETC., of the worlds famous
celebrities almost tends the other way.
In the earlier paintings. it is true, men
are distinguished by their large heads,
but this is attributable to the painters,
who agreed with the general opinion and
wished to flatter their sitters. ...r

demned. Nevertheless this feature is
found in Alexander the Great and, to a
lesser degree, in Julius Caesar. The head
of Frederick the Great. as will be seen
from one of the portraits in Carlyle's
work, receded.
Other great men have had positively
small heads. Lord Byron's was ..re-
markably small"
Men of genius of ancient times have
only what may be called an ordinary OF
everyday forehead, and HerodOtus,
Alcibiades, Pluto, Aristotle and Epi.
Gurus. among others, are mentioned as
instances.
Some are even low-browed, as Burton,
the author of 1.-The Anatomy of Melan-
choly," and Albert Durer.

The gods themselves are represented
with ordinary, if not low, brows." Thus
itappears that the popular notion on the
matter is erroneous, and that there may
be great men with little heads. Youths
