MereyyN

Has been more destructive to human
health and life than war, pestilence and
famine combined So said a distin-
guished writer many years ago, and it is as
true to-day as then. The poor victim of
Blood Disease is drugged with Mercury to
cure the malady, and then dosed with TO-
dides to cure him of the Mercurial Poison
ing; bat instead of any relief, the first
breaks down his general health and makes
him a cripple, and the other ruins his di-
gestive organs. To those afflicted in this
earth, and is worth more than its weight
in gold. Itantidotes this Mercurial Poison,
tones up the system and brings the sufferer
back to health and happiness. Every per-
son who has ever been salivated should by
all means take a thorough course of this
remedy.

Putting Wolves TO Death by Torture,

Lieutenant Schwatks's Siberia: One
use of the whalebone to which the
Esquimaux put it, and one case Of
which came under my personal obser-
walton, must not allow to puss uncc-
ticed. Whenever wolves have been
unusually predatory, have destroyed Il
fayorite dog or so, or dug up cache
of reindeer meat just when it was
needed, or in any way have aroused
the ire of the Innuit hunter, ne takes 3
strip of whalebone about the s:zs of
those used In coIsets, wraps it up into a
compact helical mass like watch
spring, having previously shsrpened
both ends, then ties it together With
reindeer sinew, and plssters it with a
compound of blood and grease, which
is allowed to freeze, and forms bind
ing cement sufficiently strong to hold
the sinew string at every second er
third turn, This, with lot Of similar
looking bats of meat and blubber, is
scattered over the snow or ground, and
the hungry wolf devours it along with
the others, and when it is thswed out
by the warmth of his stomach it elong-
ates and has the well-known effect of
whaleboEe on the system, but having
the military advantage of interior lines
its effects are more rapid, killing the
poor wolf, with the most horrible sgon-
les, in couple of days.

mental habits, tastes, traits and predi-
lections of child, at first placing 1t
under as little repression as possible.
Having discovered the embryo mc-
chanic, artist, or mathematician in the
child, or such traits or aptitudes as ia
yite to particular line OF Instruction,
that natural inclination is encouraged.
In order to get as close sympathy as
possible between pupil and teacher and
to enable the teacher to study the child,
and learn what dormant faculties it pos
sesses, he divides the primary classes
into sections with very small num-
Der of pupils to q teacher, believing
that children should be aerded into
large classes only as they are more ad-
vanced, just the reverse of the system
new in vogue. His method of teach
ing, especially of small children is to
deal with concrete things. No abstract
ions or arbitrary rules, no lightweight
ing of the memory. The children be-
gin by sitting around a, table on which
are the objects used for illustration.
For instance; in development of per
ceptive faculties: A little class or Sec
ton are each handed picture. The
attention of each is directed to it. He
is then called on to tell ali he can about
it, to describe it. Thus perception and
descriptive faculty are called into play.
Then, q picture is shown linn, and re-
moved and he required to describe it,
thus invoking the powers of memory.
The imagination Is put into action IN
the same manners, the child being led
from simple to more elaborate efforts
of Imagination and description, at
first oral, and in writing as pro-
gress is made. Mathematics is
taught by illustrations with con-
crete things rather than by arbitrary
rules. Geography is taught by the
use of moulding clay. The pupil is
set to moulding little bas-relief3 CONT
nents, With mountain ranges depress-
ions, course OF rivers, shore indenta-
lions and the like. 1t is quite aston
ishing to note the rapidity and interest
with which young pupils by this
process obtain accurate ideas
of the configuration of the earth's
surface. This method renders
easy Of comprehension climatic
results of mountains, trade winds,
ETC., ETC., and proves vastly superior to
the map system and the examining of
the memory with names and descrip-
tons.
This system includes an Industrial
course. The pupils are taught the uses
Of tools, manufacture their own agpar-
atus under helpful instruction,
and prepare their own chemicrls,
starting thus with rudimentary work,
little restraint or crowding is put upon
child. The great aim is to find what
specially he has a natural genius for, or
in what branch of science his mind is
best adapted 10 work. To that natural
talent practical and interesting meth
DDS for its development are applied. On
this theory ,and by simple methods ap-
piled and expanded, education is a
natural and joyous unfolding of the
faculties of the mind, rather than q
forcible examining of 1t with uninter-
esting and una5simiiated learning; and
there is hope that in this theory and
practice of teaching lies the key to a
better system of mpartipg instruction.

Batemsn, but will not even consider
his name in connection with this judge
ship"
Mr.. Sherman was evidently sur
prised at this frank declaration. The
president continued:
81 am perfectly willing, senator, to
make known to you the reason for my
decision in this mstter, if you desire to
know it."
Mr.. Sherman could not well do other
wise than 20 express such desire. The
president tapped a bell, messenger
responded, and was directed to obtain
a certain package of papers. The pres
ident opened this package and took
thtr sfiom a newspaper cutting con-
tanning an interview with Warner NJ.
Bateman, In passage of thst inter
view which was read to Mr.. Sherman,
MIR. Bateman referred to the president
as 'fGaiteau republican" Mr.. Arthur
said that Mr.. Bateman had not denied
using the epithet, and that under the
circumstances his appointment would
not be considered. Exit Sherman.

Missouri Valley, Iowa, special: A

there came 10 him cablegram that

ship had arrived safely in America with
its, to him, precious freight. As fast as
steam and rails would carry her she
sped westward, arriving here at O'Clock

everybody in town turned out to con-

4 Secret Printing Office.

st. Petersburg letter: I went over
ali the rooms in which the work was
carried on. The mechanism was ex-
tremely staple. A few cases with va
rlous kinds of type; a little cylinder
just cast of kind of gelatinous sub
stance closely resembling carpenters
glue, and somewhat pleasant to smell,
a large heavy cylinder covered with
cloth, which served as the press; some
blackened brushes and sponges in a
pan; two jars of printing ink. Every
thing was arranged in such a manner
that 1t could be hidden in quarter of
an hour IN large clothes press stand

They explained to me the mechan-
ism of the work, and smilingly told me

pfoyed to divert the suspicion of the

was not that OF not allowing him to en-

various pretexts the made him see the

which could excite suspicion. When
these pretexts failed others were in

Valuable Suggestions.

The following hints will be Of value
house cleaning: Always keep one room
where the family may be comfortable.
Have plenty of nourishing food pre-
pared before commencing Let the
bureaus, chests, trunks, closets, all be
put in good order. Look everything
over 10 see that there are no moths.
1t is an excellent plan to take all cloth
ing, ETC., out of doors, put on a line
and give it a good beating. Always
scatter plenty Of camphor gurn il the
trunks AID boxes. when repacking, as
this is the simplest of remedies for
moths. Now clean cellar, by removing
all refuse, brushing out all boxes and
barrels, swee Ding thoroughly overhead,
the sides and under foot. Once year
cover the cellar with whitewash made
yellow with c0pperas, wash windows,
scrub the floors a;la wash the stairs;
sprinkle the floors with copperas water.
Replace barrels, or rather put them in
some part of the cellar, SO that any
moisture that may sather under them
may dry out. Next clean and arrange
attic, or store room. In each room be-
gin with the closet, take down the pie
lures, wipe, clean and lay away, all
ready 10 hang up again. Move out the
furniture, take up the carpet, sweep
and wash the floor. Wipe down the
walls with a broom wrapped in soft
cloth; flannel is the best. Hard fin
ished walls can be washed, and spots
maybe removed by washing with pun
ice stone? Clean the paint ard win
dows, and while this is being done have
the carpets thoroughly beaten.

Some gypsy Lore.

"The day of the week on which You
are born," said a fortune teller, to a re.
porter of the Washington Star, "is the
best TO commence business. Fridays
and Tuesdays are the luckiest for wom-
Ell, though women fairly shuddcr over
regarding Friday lucky day. Sundays
and Mondays are the best for men.
Never enter a new house or sign a lease
in April, June, or November, and avoid
the 11th for any kind of enterprise.
The lucky days for business are the first
three days of the moons age; for mar
riage, the TIA, Ssh and 18th. Ask favors
on the 1bth, 15sh and 18th, but beware
of the 18th and 21st. These are all the
moons age. To answer letters, choose
an odd day OF the moon; to travel on
land choose the increase, and for c C aan,
the decrease of the moon. Start new
bui dings in March. Don't marry on
your birthday, or on any martyrs day."
What are some of tae most promi-
nent signs of events, as it were, that
cast their shadows befcre?" the reporter
asked, realizing that he was getting
enough "points" TO set up as fortune
teller himself.

Why Arthur Would Not Appoint Bate

Sherman was very anxious to secure
Batemans appointment to the vacant
Oaio judgeship. So anxious was he
that he did something which he has
seldom done since Mr.. Arthur became
presideut-he went 10 the White

cordial friendship exists or can ever
exist between the president and Mr..
Sherman; but this does not interfere

Where dais,es blossom fair.
Then heard she in the twilight's fall,
Clear and distinct the cuckoo call
Cuckoo! cuckoo!
She sat- down on grassy bank
And to herself said She
''To pass the time, I'll count to knsw
How long my life shall be.
A hundre ten" n9r was that all,
For still she hear the cuckce call,
Cuckoo,
The Shepherd maiden angry grew;
Up from the grass she sprang.
Caught up her staff aud ran with sp:ea
To where the cuckoo san2.
He raw, and to the wood he flew,
While echoed back his call.
Cuckoo. Cuckoo!
She followed him with uplifted staff
S III in an angry mood,
And when she turned she still could hear
His voice within the wood.
She hunted him from tree tc tree,
Yet still he called her merrily,-
Cuckoo.
