sity at an early age of trying to do
something for my own support. My
first employment, when about eight
years old, was in blowing q black
smiths bellows for Mr.. Reeves, who
gave me six cents per day. which con-
tributed so much toward the support of
the family. i stood upon box to
enable me to reach the handle Of the
bellows. My next service was in the
capacity of boy-of-all-work, ut q
tavern in the village OF Jefferson. two
miles from Catskill. kept by Captain
Baker, who had, / remember, made o
great mistake in exchanging the COM
mand of q ship for q tavern After the

There are great many people who
imagine that elementary teaching might
be properly carried out by teachers pro-
vided with only elementary knowled dge.
Let me assure you that that Is the pro-
foundest mistake in the world. There
is nothing so difficult to do as to write
q good elementary book. and there is
nobody 50 hard to teach properly and
we'll as people who know nothing about
subject; and will tell you why. If I,
address an audience of persons who are
occupied in the same line of work as
myself can assume that they know 8
vast deal, and that they can find ont the
blunders / make. If they don {, it is
their fault and not mines but when I
appear before q body Of people who
know nothing about the MATTER who
take for gospel whateyerI I say surely
it becomes needful thatI consider what
1 say, make sure that it will
not impose upon the credulity of those
place, it involves that difficult process of
knowing what you know so well that
Won can talk about it as you can talk
about your ordinary business. A man
can always talk about his own business.
He can always make it plain; but IL his
knowledge is hearsay he Is afraid 70 go
beyond what he has reoollected and
put it before those that are ignorant in
such q shape that they shall compre-
hend it. That is why, to be . good ele-
mentary teacher, to teach the elements
of any subject, requires most careful
consideration II you are . master Of the
subject; and il you are not q master Of
it it is needful you should tfamiliarize
yourself with so much as you are called
upon to teach-soak yourself in 1t, so to
speak-nntil you know ito as part Of
your daily life and daily knowledge, and
then you will be able to teach anybody.
That is what j mean by practical
teachers, and although. the deficiency
is being remedied TO = largo extent, ]
think It is one which has long existed.
| and which has existed from no fault of
those who undertook to teach, but be-
cause until within the last score years
it absolutely was not possible for any
one in great many branches of science,
whatever his desire might be, to get In
struction which would enable him to be
q good teacher of elementary things.
All that is being rapidly altered, and
hope it win soon become q thing of the
past. - Nature. $3.50

An Unusual Engineering Feat.

!, At one time it was obvious that the
Washington Monument foundation
needed TO be strengthened, and Colonel
Casey addressed himself to q task which
q good many engineers would have
preferred not to undertake. Going
down below the foundation already
built, he dug from under it all around a
core Of earth forty-four feet square, di-
rectly under the center of the founda-
tion and monument; and the II, 500, 900
pounds of weight stood on this
pillar of earth. The new excavation
was Of . depth of thirteen. feet, and
made q cellar under the foundation 126
feet square. This was filed with solid
masonry, except where the core of earth
stood, which was not removed. Then
the sides of the old foundation
above were torn down for considers
ble distance under the walls of the
shaft, rebuilt of better materials, and
spread out further over the new base
below, thus distributing the pressure
over . much larger area. So, instead
of foundation only 80 feet square,
that is, extending only 122 feet beyond
each of the four faces, there is now 3
foundation 126 feet square, extending
25 feet beyond each face and running
IS feet deeper. A good many engineers
have come at different times to visit the
monument and inspect this interesting
work. One of them looked at it long
time without saying anything. Then
he remarked quietly: "Well, that's
easy enough to do, but I don't know
one engineer in q thousand who would
want TO try it." The result proves how
well the work has been done. Since
the laying Of stone was renewed 29,255
tons of stone have been added to the
pile, and the settlement of the shaft due
to this load has been Just one and q
quarter inches The settlement is so
even that the greatest variation in the
sinking of the four corners is differ
ence Of four-one-hundreths of an inch
between the southwest and northeast
corners The other two have settled
exactly alike, even to the hundreth
part of an inch. The total pressure
now borne by the bed of foundation is
4,871 tons or ninety-two per cent. OF
the whole pressure that win be placed
upon it.-Wdship9top Letter.
