sharp click of the call-bell in the engine
and saw the fireman thrust the engineer
aside and reverse the engine. The con-
ductor, who had just seen her and ex-
citedly pulled the bell-rope, jumped off
and came toward her. But the reaction
was too much for poor Mike and she
could only gasp out Round the curve"
and then she was a white heap with no
sense of anything.
Passengers rushed out, and, after sem
had been to the curve and seen what the
little plain girl had saved them from, no
lady in the land could be so royalty

lifted into the car and told modestly her
little story. 1t was some time before
the track was ready for the train to pro-
coed, and many kind hands pressed her
in farewell, while the conductor left
something. in her hand, too, just as the
train left, saying, "You are the bravest
little woman in the State"
Not until she had been in the office a
good half-hour with her father-who
had got home from his lawsuit and Won
dered what had made the train so late
and where Mike had gone to-.and told
him all the story, did Mike think to
look at the packet. Then she read a
note; "Will Miss Eunice Markham

friends she so bravely saved Aug. %,

The note was wrapped round $500 in

MIKE.

Nobody would take little Mike Mark
ham for heroine, nor would one sup
pose that the little quiet figure possessed
enough nerve to save hundreds of lives
by her pre- mpt action, but this was the
way of it: 1t was hot summer after
noon, and the most absolute quiet
reigned over the. little railroad station
Of Parkertown, up in Northern New
England, on these sweltering July days.
Not even the customary loafers were
around, and only at train-time was there
any show of life.
The down train was due at 5:20 but,
until then, as the sensational story
writer's say, "all was quiet as the
grave"
Mike was the station agents daughter
and only child. She was Is, although
SO small she looked some three years
younger, and was usually as quiet as a
mouse-"not much zip to her" the
country folks said. In spite of the cur
rent opinion, however, she had, except
country town set apart for the social
season, spent nearly all the time in the
ticket office with her father, either read
~ the few books and papers that came

From that day Mike was installed al
telegraph operator, and the indulgen
father often said "Nick could run tina

which, considering that Mr.. Markham
was considered by the boys "a plug

Well, on this particular afternoon We

THE RICHEST CITY IN TIE WORLD.
Frankfort on-the- Main, containing q
population of about 100000, is said to
be the richest city of its size in the
whole world. II its wealth were equally
divided among its inhabitants, every
man, woman and child would have, it is
said, 10000 marks, or some $1,000
apiece. There are, as may be supposed,
good many poor people in the town,
but the citizens are, as a whole, in I'M
usually. comfortable circumstances, more
30 probably than The citizens OF any
other capital in Germany or Europe. 1t
is stated that there are 100 Frankforters
worth FROM $4,OOO,0O0 to $1,000, 900
each, and $50 who are worth SO, 000, 600
great banking centers of the globe. Its
aggregate banking capital is estimated
at so, 900. 900, 900, more than one-fourth
Of which the famous Rotnschilds, whose
original and parent house is there, own
and control. The annual transactions
in bills of exchange are in excess of
500, 100000. Its general trade and
manufacturing industries have greatly
increased since the formation of the
German empire, to which Frankfort was
originally averse, being free city and
an opponent of Prussia, until coerced,
in July, 1866, by Gen. Won Falkenstein,
who entered it at the head of an army
and imposed fine of 1000, 900 forins
for its insubordination- Frankfort is
such place for conventions and assem-
bllea Of all sorts that it Is apt to be full
OF strangers, and is consequently very

not be true that this aptitude would
make the teacher or that one with
out it could not be made teacher
This is what is virtually asserted by
those who talk so much about the
Nborn teacher" The possession OF
an aptitude only ligntens the labor
Of training; it does not supplant the
training or excel it. SO long as it is
true that every sane man can learn
so long will IL be true that every
sane man can learn to teach. The
difficulty of.acquiring thing is one
thing, the ability to acquire it is an
entirely different thing. Now the
possession Of a natural aptitude for
learning any particular thing only
says that tits easier for Its posses
sor TO learn that thing than for the
one who has not this natural apti.
tude. Aptitude plus training is per-
fection. Aptitude minus training is
nothing Inaptitude plus training
Is far better than aptitude without
training. Inaptitude less training is
nothing.

vout believer in the Blue laws Of
Connecticut. who in turn inherited
this aptitude from some blue haired
maiden in the golden days Of Greece.
But the activity Of an aptitude
rather rebels at tne butterfly wraps
you place a-ound it and call dorman-
|cy. What is to determine the par
ticular germ that is to enter the
chrysalis? What law limits the
death period and BY what rule is it
to be awakened? Suppose that
aptitude should burst through that
shell in great grand child when he
is bidding farewell to earth and is
preparing for a flight into the great
beyond would it hunt some other
tenement and ripen into sborn
teacher?' IT both parents are skill
ed teachers and each Of the twelve
children are failures as teacher; who
got the aptitude? Did the parents
exhaust the stock of natural apti
tude By being good teachers and
thus preclude its transmission
to the childrens Does aptitude
depend upon heredity? Ii so will
single apt life be sufficient
to establish the hcredity? If not
through how many generations must
the aptitude be carried in practical
successful work to insure its recog-
nition by heredity? How many facts
have been gathered in support of
this generalization called. heredity? !?
When you look about you to see how
many times it works did it ever oc
cur to you to note the almost con
stant regularity with which it didn't
work at all? While you were gloat
ing over the natural singing aptitude
OF the Bach family did it ever occur
to you that when Cesar conquered
Gaul the progcnitors Of the Bach's
didn't know an organ note from a
BILLET DoUx and could not sing the
old German war songs half as well
as the progenitcrs Of the Schwartz
family, whose descendants now sell
schooner lager to the singing Bach's
in some cathedral town ON the Rhine?
Did it ever occur to you that the
first Bach who gave celebrity to the
name came from parents who could
not sing or play half so well as their
German neighbors whose boys never
reached celebrity? Did it ever oc
cur to you that no one of the hun
dreds Of Bach's descendants who are
acknowledged as musical men has
ever come up to the standard Of mu-
sic set up by the great Bach? Did
1T ever occur to yon that the boys
and girls Of to-day who wear the
name of Bach are mcdiocres? When
you staked out your generalization
you failed. to take in all the concepts
and it Is faulty to that extent. Now
the teacher requires aptitude. This
is admitted. Is that aptitude in
herited or acquired? We are in no
position to affirm or DENY the inliu-
encc of heredity upon aptitude for
the facts are not all gathered? Nei-
ther is it necessary to the strength
Of this argument that this should be
decided. For we may even admit to
