Teaching 10 See.


One of the best means of prevent
ing the too often disastrous desire of
young people in the country to join
the crowds of the town is to lead them
to appreciate the far greater and more
satisfying beauty of nature. Every
teacher should, each day of the pres
ent spring-time, give the pupils views
into the mysteries of life all about
them. Put some of the larger seeds
to terminate upon wet moss or GOTTEN
batting or washed sand TO avoid the
clamminess of clay or loam) Dissect
some as they advance. and let others
go on to unfold first their cotyledons
and then their leaves.
OF 400 children examined in the
Boston schools, a large proportion had
never even seen the commonest plants
in growth, or similar natural objects.
Only Is per cent of them knew any
thing about a COW. This proves that in
the cities, more than anywhere else,
there is need of providing for instruc-
ton in something besides books-in
actual, visible and palpable things
that live and grow, and on the cdlture
Of which our lives depend.
An interesting work for the keen
eyes of the young people of the farm
ers family is to spread on white dish
or paper samples of the clover and
grass seeds 10 be sown, and examine
them with a magnifer to detect seeds
of weeds. Many pests are introduced
to the fields in company with good
seeds, especially planting Of both
SORTS, OK eye daisy, Canada thistle,
etc With glass the very different
forms of tie various seeds will be
clearly apparent, and by sowing some
of each separately and marking them
the boys can soon become able to tell
their older friends which is which.

How to Handle Bees.

A scientific paper announces that
in its next issue will appear az elabo-
rate article entitled How TO Handle
Bees Now, a bee is not difficult
thing to handle. He is as easily pic
ed up as a strawberry, and is reason
ably light and compressive. To han
die him is, therefore, a mere song.
Any man can do it, In fact, the more
ignorant Of bees man is the more
easily he can handle one TIE main
difficulty seems to be in quoting the
man down after he has handled
small but frolicsome bee There have
been men known To race around 10
acre lot and eventually lost their sal
vahon, after handling one bee for the
tenth part of secoud The scientific
journal means we'll, no doubt; but
what the country needs is am ar
ticle on how to avoid handling bees.

thrilling style of writing, and wish to
crush him. The city editor sends him
to report a meeting, but the people

has strength to WELD pen, so he sits
down with the hair on his head bula ed
out like the tail of an angry cat, and
commences his fierce attack. He
writes up the Barrel-maker5' Union as
a mere wart upon the body polite.
He scalds everything connected with
barrels and their makers. He up
roots the social system, pitches int o
the law, tears up the Constitution,
flaps his coat-tails in the face of the
President, wipes his boots on the
Capitol and points with pride and
satisfaction to Benjamin Franklin
and the flag. No, the press, the great
guardian of the liberties of the people
can and will not be suppressed. When
pale with Indignation, and reeking
with perspiration, he presents his
articles to the city editor, that worthy
functionary sees fifteen libel suits in it,
and he merely swears around the
office until the lights go out, and they
have to put more water in the gas
meter.
An old reporter, however, never
dreams of acting in such a way. If
he is detailed to report the meeting of
the Barrel-makcrs' Union, and they
refuse TO let him in, he thanks the
Barrel makers from the bottom of his
heart. The refusal let's him out of
that much work, so he loafs the even

the pretty girls IN the dress cirle, and
wonders if there viii ever be one for
him. SThe dear, sweet, delightful

The New Reporter.
New orleans Figaro.

a new reporter is a queer being,
and for brief period he revels in
bliss. The moment he secures a po-
sition on a daily paper he thinks that
the eve of the world rests on him
alone, and all that b. has to do Is to
reach up with one hand and yank
himself upon the pedestal of lame in
the course o, few months, however,
he realizes that he needs both hands,
three or four ladders, and some one to
give him a good boost in order to get
there. The first thing that new re-
porter does when he enters a news
paper office is to give vent to his
opinions, and point out to the old
reporters how easy the paper can be
improved. His surroundings are
novel, and in consequence he works
like a Trojan. If corner grocery
burns down he pictures a scene IN two
columns which harrows the souls OF
men and smakes the city editor want

VIRTUE OF AN INDIAN PONY.

chase was kept up for miles, and un-

his big horned head around at Bob

beautifully, and then the bull chased
us awhile That thing was kept up
