The Art Of Thinking.

The object of the teacher is te teach
to think. The pupil thinks enough, but
he thinks loosely, incoherently, indetin-
itely and vaguely. He e3pends power
enough on his mental work, but it is
poorly applied. The teacher points oU.
to him these indefinite or incoherent
results, and demands logical statements
of him. Here is the positive advantage
the teacher is to the pupil. Let US sup
pose two pupils are studying the same
lesson in geography, or grammar, or
history. One reads to get the facts, he
fastens his eyes on the page and his
mind to the subject before him; he
makes the book study and acquires
information from it; his object is to &C.
quire knowledge; he attains this end.
The other also studies the book, but
while reading he is obtaining lessons in
thinking He does not merely commit
to memory; he stops to see if the argu-
ment is sound, he analyZes it to see if
the conclusion is warranted by the
premises. The one who thinks as he
reads, is quite Indifferent, it will be seen,
from him who simply learns as he reads.
To read and think, or to think as one
reads, is the end to seek. To teach to
think is. then, the art of the teacher.
The reader for facts gets facts; he
comes to the recitation seat and
reels off those facts. His mind, like
Edison's monograph, gives back just
what it received. While this power is
valuable, it is not the power the world
wants. The teacher will find his pupils
come to the recitation room to transmit
the facts they have gained. He must
put them in quite another frame of
mind. Instead of Rotations they must
be made int thinkers. The value of
the teacher measured by his power
to teach the afSof thinking. - Teachers

Collegiate Indians.

A strong sentiment demands the edu-
cation of the Indians. Men of the high
type of General Armstrong, of Hamp-
ton, and United States Commissioner of
Education Eaton give their best efforts
to it. The addresses on the subject Of
Indian education before the convention
of teachers now sitting at Madison are
listened to with evident interest. This
sentiment is strongest among those who,
like the devotees of the cause of the no
BILE red men in Boston, have never seen
an Indian and have only a literary &C
quaintance with him, but that is moth
ing. All sentiments act in this way.
It was not the men who were near the
negro who placed his emancipation even
above the preservation of the Union.
Needy people, like prophets, almost
always fail to receive due consideration
in their own neighborhood.
But there are good many kinds Of
education the Indians need quite as much
as s'book larnin. If our duty to edu-
cate the Indians means that me must
accept them as our wards and teach
them to make the best progressive use

deny so palpable truth. But if it
means that to have educated Indians
we must have collegiate Indians we de-
muir. 1t is by no means a constant
truth that the collegiate white man is
an educated man. Too often the col
aegiate training with its usless Greek
btufing proves to have been misdirec-
ton Of time, effort and habit, and to
have untitled the white boy for any use.
full work in the world. There seems to
us not little danger that a similar mis-
take may be made in the case of
Indian education. The thing these saw
ages need least is what can be given
them out of books. We do not begin
the education of our children with books
merely. Indians are adult children,
aud require moral, physical and indus
ffial influences much more than literary
ones, including Greek.
Education implies character as well
as letters It is one of the signs of the

Marketing Mutton.

It is general complaint in the Western
States that butchers in country towns
dislike to slaughter sheep and to sell
mutton. Some discourage the use Of it
by keeping poor quality and by asking
more for it than they do for beef. Posi-
bly, beef cuts to better advantage and
results in smaller loss to retailers. TIE
pieces containing much bone can be
disposed Of for making soup and the
cuts unsuitable for steaks and roasts can
be cured in brine and sold for corned
beef, for which there is always a de-
mand. It is likely that Western butch
ers are troubled in disposing Of the
poorer cuts of mutton. Corned mutton
is not as salable as corned beef In
some places there would be no demand
for it till one was created. Still mutton
is better meat for preserving in brine
than beet. Those who have been ac-
customed to eating corned mutton gen.
orally prefer it to corned beef. For
boiling with vegetables it is excellent.
1t is very delicious. when cured in salt
and smoked. There is complaint
among English farmers that butchers
pay less for beef, but insist in asking
more for it. They all keep mutton,
however, as the demand for it is con-
StantIy increasing in that country. The
demand for itwould steadily increase in.
the United States were sheep that pro.
duce better mutton generally kept, were
as much pains taken in fattening sheep
hs there is in fattening steers, and cooks
were trained to cook the meat properly.
Many regard mutton as inferior to
beef, and apparently butchers desire to
keep up the prejudice against it. In
Canada, where excellent mutton sheep
are kept, and where they are we'll fass
tened, the demand for mutton is in
creasing.
Western cattle-raisers would do well
to use their influence in creating de-
mand for mutton. They can do this by
making the production Of mutton rather
than wool the leading object in keeping
sheep. They should furnish local
butchers with well-fattened sheep Of
the breeds that furnish the finest NUT
ton. If they caanot make satisfactory
arrangement with butchers they must
slaughter their own sheep and find
market for the mutton It will not be
found difficult to find customers who
will take a quarter of mutton every
week. Mutton is a better meat for most
farmers than beef, as it can be kept
longer. Chicago Times.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

"A Californian says he cleared his
poultry house of mites, with which it

the household dinner had been boiled,
and that two applications were sufficient.
Before beginning to iron, sprinkle
the table plentifully with water and lay
on the ironing blanket. This will hold
it firmly in place and prevent all wrink-
ling and showing about. Never try to
iron with blanket having wrinkles or

Let every farmer study how he can

resolve that as fast as it is fit for the

An exchange recommends farmers
who have a wood-Iot to keep a stock of

for lack of a little forethought are
obliged to buy at high prices the lumber
which they need to use, and which
might just as well be cut from their own
timber lot.

Nelly Boyd Dramatic Company.

The Nellie Boyd Dramatic Company
will be at Phoenix Hall in Morris on
Thursday and Frid,y evenings of this
week. This company is highly rec
commended by the papers in the cities
visited by them. Nellie Boyd is a
general favorite and she is supported
by a strong company. On Thursday
evening they will play the Bankers
Daughter and at that time the play
for the next evening will be an
nounced. 1t has been some time
since Morris has been visited by o.
good dramatic company and as this
is good one it will in all probability
be we'll patronized. Reserved seats
are for sale at J. D. Goods.
The following from the Butte Daily
Revenue is specimen from the many
newspaper paragraphs concerning
this company:
Miss Nellie Boyd is deservedly popu-
lar, and a favorite with Butte people.
The lady ranks among the first O
emotional actresses upon the Ameri-
can stage and is always supported by
strong company. The present one
is the third company she has brought
Butte, and it is no disparagment tc

been manifested in II celebration at
Morris on the Fourth. For IL few
years past the people of Morris have
gone elsewhere to celebrate but this
year it is proposed to have Il good
time at home. We hope that the en-
terprising people of Morris will take
hold of this matter and make it II
success. Morris has talent enough,
both musical and oratorical, to carry
out an interesting programme.
There is also u fire company, a base
ball club, fast horses and many other
things which can be utilized for the
days sport. Let's celebrate and cele-
brate, hard.
