A Walking Stick That Has Travelled.

Colonel William Ernoston, bronx
ed veteran of the British India service,
who passed through Philadelphia few
days ago, carried cane that is men,
ento of great events. 1t is made of nine
longitudinal strips of wood; tho head
is highly polished bit of bone from
the river drift deposits in Deyonshire,
England, and the ferule is the frag-
ment of gun used at the battle OF
Melegano. One wooden strip is from
the Mount of Olives, at Jerusalem, and
from the other eight one is from Mel
sons ship, the Victory, one from the
American sloop-of-war Cumberland,
one from the Alabama, cut before she
left Laird's ship-yard; one from the
Bellerophon, Napoleon's prison ship;
one from the Vile de Paris, Admiral
Grasses flagship in our revolutionary
war; one from the floor of the black
hole at Calcutta; one from the grove
surrounding Tai Mahal and the last
from the wreck of the Royal George.
Colonel Erneston has written sketch
of the circumstances under which each
piece of the cane was obtained, and the
whole put together, and on his death it
and the manuscript are to be deposited
in the South Kensington museum. Each
circumstance regarding the gathering
of the pieces is properly attested.

Teachers educated and trained to
observe the following principles, based
on psychology will instruct children
more rapidly and intelligently, and
exercise q better, moral influence, than
teachers fresh from the secondary
schools and colleges who have never
received an hours instruction in the art
and science of teaching:
l. Activity is the law of the child's
being.
2. The idea should always precede
the word.
8. Cultivate language,
4. Never do for child what he can
do for himself; never tell him anything
which he can discover for himself
5. Proceed by easy steps from the
unknown, from the concrete to the alb
Stract.
6. Cultivate the child's faculties in
the natural order
Z. The trained faculty is moro i'm
portant than the study employed to
cultivate it.-lHomaS Hunter, Ph. D.

INDUCTINE METHOD.

1t must be acknowledged that the
methods Of disquisition and teaching
may be sometimes different, and on
very good reasons undoubtedly; but
for my part | am convinced that the
method OF teaching which approaches
most nearly to the method ofinyestiga-
ton is comparably the best; since, not
content with serving up q few barren
and lifeless truths it leads to the
stock on which they grew; it tends to
set the reader himself in the track OF
invention, and to direct him into those
paths in which the author had made
bis own discoveries, if he should be so
happy as to have made any that are
valuable. -EdmHnd Burke.

Giving Hostages to Nipen.

When the Norwegian farmers wife
begins her dairying in the summer,
and the herds have been driven to tho
upland pastures, she takes special
pains in making the first cheese, for it
is for Nipen, the old Morse wood and
water spirit. The offering is taken in
the dusk of the evening to high, bare
rock, and left there. Sometimes Il
sweetcake, in the making of which
every maiden must assist, and can of
ale is added to the feast for Npen. In
the morning it is gone, and the farm
er's wife is sure that her COW will give
down rich milk, that her lambs will
not perish in untimely storms, and
that her good mans boat on the ford
will bring him safely home. She has
given hostage to Nipen.

WHY NOT!

If a language is to be learned,
would teach it in the easiest known
method, and at the age when it can be
easiest learned. But there is another
theory which is often acted upon,
though seldom explicitly stated, the
theory that for the sake of discipline,
hardness that is avoidable should be
deliberately imposed upon boys; as,
for instance, by forcing a boy to study
many languages who has no gifts tina,
may and can never attain to any mas
terry of them. Tony mind the only justifi.
cation of any kind of discipline, train
ing or drill Is attainment Of the appro-
pirate end Of that discipline. 1t is q
waste for society, and an outrage upon
the individual, to make boy spend
the years when he is most teachable in
a discipline, the end of which he can
never reach, when he might have spent
them in a different discipline, which
would have been rewarded by achieve
ment. n-PreSt. Eliot.

GOOD ADVICE.

In the midst of the din Of this great
workshop, we all at.times need to be
reminded why schools are instituted,
and for whom they are carried on.
There is no reason why the hallowed
influence of home should not reign in
the school-room. We sometimes fret
because we cannot change human
nature and make it after our own
model. Here variety is infinite, and
the teacher is not expected to enter
into conflict with nature, but to take
humanity as he finds it, and clip as
good angels as lie can from the marble
presented, There is, undoubtedly, a
tender spot in the heart Of every wild
school boy, and the approach to it may
be labyrinth; but it Is worth seeking
out, and oftent!mes the boys success
or failure in life depends on finding
this or failing in the search. -Suph w.
Richardson, ChilLic0the, y.

ETHICS OF HISTORY.

Nothing else that is taught in the
public schools has so much to do with
forming character as the Reading Les
sons. Especially is this true OF the
prose lessons in biography, in history,
and in eloquence, and of nearly all the
poetical pieces found in the we'll edited
Readers. The teacher of reading
class, therefore, may be moral teacher
in the best sense of the word; almost
without appearing TO do so she can
inculcate patriotism, truth, honor, re-
verence and most of the moral virtues.
The reading lesson gives an oppor-
tunity to develop character, without
lecturing or preaching, that the good
teacher will not lose. ClcCelaHd, o.,
