occur that show great intelligence. One
time in Upper Sandusky was working
George and Lyon, the same that are
with me now, and little Scotch ter
rier. The terrier died from poison, and
the night following of course had only
two chairs on the stage for the dogs to
sit on. Both showed lack of spirit that
night, and seemed uneasy, looking at me
in the most pitiful manner, as though
trying to ask me question. When l
finally got them on the stage, and they
saw only the two chairs in position, they
whined and refused to take their seats
or do any of their tricks. l finally
placed another chair where the terrier
used to sit, and then got them to go
through their work; but it was long
time before they forgot their little
Scotch companion. The three l have

Knowing How to Swim.

The recent disasters on the waters
have conclusively proved the advantages
of the art of swimming. Those who
could swim were not panic-stricken,
and by swimming they escaped death
by burning. Among the passengers of
the Sewanahaka was Mr.. Samuel Bar
low, of New York, who, having pro-
vided himself with life-preserver,
gave it to another passenger and
jumped into the water. He turned on
his back and floated, managing to keep
his nose above water until rescued All
who could swim reached the shore in
safety.
If the water were not an absolute
terror to people when a collision occurs
or fire breaks out, they would, with
some degree of carefulness, set about
lowering the boats. They would exer-
else their reason, look to see if plugs
were in, and would lower the boats
without emptying everybody out or fill
ing the boats with water. On the Mar
while the plug in the bottom was out,
and the boat filled. The patent plug,
which, by the pressing of the water on
the bottom is forced home, ought to
be used in all boats; but it is not, and a
little preservation of mental balance on
the part of the passenger would avoid
these unnecessary dangers.
1t is not alone the art of swimming
that will save life, but familiarity with
water, and the belief that one can sup
port ones self in it for time, would
prevent the dreadful panics to which
more than to the disaster the great loss
of life is due. If people knew that the
moment they touch water they could
support themselves in it, most of the
danger would disappear. A swimmer,
too, can use life-preserver to better
advantage than one ignorant of the art.
Of course swimmers drown some
times, but the proportion is very small.
1t is generally the boy who is not a
swimmer that is drowned while bath
ing. The number of swimmers who
are drowned is very much smaller than
the number of non-swimmers who are
drowned while bathing or sailing

Swapping of the Tail.

oldest of all methods of self-defense
is that of swapping off the tail. The
blind-worm or slow worm is little
snake-like lizard, common in the old
world. When alarmed it contracts its
mucles in such a manner and degree as
to break its tail off at considerable
distance from the end. But how car
this aid itp The detached tail then
dances about very lively, holding the
attention of the offender, while the lizard
himself sinks away And for consid-
cradle time the tail retains its capacity
of twisting and jumping every time it is
struck; The lizard will then grow
another tail, SO as to be prepared for
another adventure. There are other
lizards which have similar power,
though in less degree. Popular

Shenandoah Normal College.

We have received this week pros
pectus of the Shenandoah Normal Col
lege to be established at Middletowr,
Va, and are glad to see that the peo-
pie of that place have at lastseen sue
cess attend their efforts to build up
school in their midst. The Principal,
Prof. G. ". IsSenshel, comes highly
recommended, and We unders and that
he will be assisted by an able corps of
teachers from Illinois. The school
will open next September, under the
most favorable auspices. According
to the announcement there will be
about five or six departments, and pu-
pills will be allowed to enter at any
time, and select theil own studies
The board and tuition are compare
lively cheap, and any scholar Of moo
crate means can attend. In connec-
ton with this school there will be held
a Normal institute, beginning August
Is, 1888, and continuing two weeks.
The object Of this Institute will be to
give teachers a more thorough and
practice, Ailoaledge of the art Of
teaching. We hope these efforts of
our neighboring town will be grand
success. There is great need of such
a school in our community, and no
better selection could be made for the
location than Miidletown. The COM
munity is sober and industrious, the
locality healthful, and provisions cheap
No liquor is sold within or near the
place, and no town in the Valley is
more suitable ior the mental and mora
culture Of young pupils.

Home Trade.

Every business man should so con-
duct his business as o attract custom
ers and secure their confidence. Moth
ing gives more strength and perma-
nency to community than feeling
that the general interests of active
men are in safe hands. In every COM
munity there are persons that are rec
ognized as reliable, selling what is
represented at prices reasonable and
just, and thereby holding an influence
that benefits all branches of industry.
The people, therefore, should so ap-
preciate their character and worth as
to throw into such channels all the
business at their disposal, for i'll so do
ing they help all classes and condi-
tons in society. Every dollar circu-
lated at home helps keep alive the
currents Of trade, and thus open W
ana keep open agencies that mus
move essua.l,,, wheels OF Industry viii

Stephens City becomes manufacture
ing center, as many hope it will, the
people must heartily unite in cooper
alton work. and thus strengthen the
arm of labor, the hope of capitalists
and the Spectator that seeks fortune
in well-directed effort.

Flowers.

We notice at many private residen-
ces in town, in our various perambu-
lations, that great care and taste have
been displayed in the cultivation Of
flowers, and many different varieties
may be seen in the yards and windows

them are of rare beauty and fragrance,
and will doubtless soon adorn the
yards and gardens and other suitable
grounds around our dwellings, as the
season advances. The earth is hardly
warm enough as yet to plant them out,
but this will be done in due time, when
they will have the full benefit of the
spring and summer rain and sunshine.
Meantime, those who wish to increase
their variety can obtain almost any
flower they wish by calling on T. s.
