For the amusement of certain school
teachers, we reproduce the following ar.
ticle:
"At teachers meeting in Pennsylva-
mia the other day, Superindent Luckey, Of
the Pittsburg public schools opposed the
use OF the spelling book. When word
stood by itself it was dead he said; when
put into a sentence it had life; and spell
ling book generally did more harm than
good. He ridiculed the popular method OF
Teaching elocution, and declared that pu-
pills could deliver the speeches of Webster,
Calhoun and Clay finely. but when asked
to read a newspaper could not do so in
telligently. He advocated the reading OF
Hewspapers in schools, and stated that in
the Pfttsburg public schools the geogra-
ply was only book of reference, the
daily papers being the means by which
geography was taught. Pupils thus as
sociated places and events readily, and
were not likely to forget either"

Business Honor

An honest man is said to be the
noblest work Of God. The assertion
is a good axiom in morals. The
temptations to dishonesty are prob
ably as great and numerous as the
temptations to any other vice or crime
in the world. Especially in business
do these temptations multiply; and
the man who can deal with his fell
lows for profit through years of
transactions and maintain noble
business integrity, preserves a vi lua-
bic character, transmits a priceless
heritage to his children and leaves
solid impress upon society which
time nor eternity can ever erase
Honesty is the best policy-even
were such low object as policy the
end Of it. 1t pays to be true. Good
illness is profitable withal;' and
though We should never make back
in dollars and cents the price of in
tegrity, yet the answer of good
conscience and the approval of a
benign Providence are worth to the
honest man all the gold OF Ophir. =
Time is short at best lis not all Of
death to die, nor all of life to live;
and he who estimates human exis-
tence and its brief span by the
value of an hours advantage or the
policy of lew undertakings, has but.
a low conception Of life's great pur-
pose. The aim of every man, what
ever his sphere or calling, should be
to accomplish all the good he can
and the best capital he has in store
for that great purpose is honesty
The honest business man is the most
effective man in any community for
good. He of all others is consider
ed above temptation.

their money. Spend your money on

against all kinds of patents for years. and,
especially, washing machines So strong
was her prejudice in this direction that
even after | had bought one of your

difficult to prevail upon her to try it. Her
mind was made up from the beginning not
to like it, but to her great delight, after
once trying it, she is prepared to say that
1t is all you claim for it. The washer is a
