If, AS is reported, a school teacher
made a drunken exhibition of himself,
the other day, in a public school in
Hockessin, it proves that school boards
should go a little farther in the selection
of a teacher than to hunt man whose
literary qualifications were sufficient,
bus whose luoral qualifications were de
f c.icc. The first consideration in the
qualification of a teacher should be
character. Without this man or a

WHAT BACTERIA ARE. - DR.. Rolin r.
Grigg, of Buffalo, n. y, after series OF
experiments TO ascertain the nature and
characteristics of bacteria, bacilli and other
creatures, whose existence is relied on by
advocates of the germs theory of dis
ease" as opposed to the disease theory Of
germs, has given the following as results
and their explanation By boiling guam
tity of healthy blood he obtained all the
forms OF bacteria. Then with some pure
fibrine, obtained from washed clot OF
blood, and boiling it, proving it was the
threads of f5rine broken up into pieces and
grsnulas that gaze the bacteria, the same re-
suits were obtained. Next some blood
was obtsiued and rotted under warmth,
and closely watched for two months; and
here again all the forms were obtained that
the fresh boiled blood gave. From these
experiments DR.. Grigg concludes that all
the bacteria of disease are forms of fibrine ;
and. for the general good requests all in.

work and report to the public the results

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The Bishops Visit.

Tell YOU about it, or course will
thought 'twouid Re dreadful to have him come
For mamma said must he quiet ana still,
And she put away my whistle and drum
And made me unharness the parlor chairs,
Aud packed my cannon and all the rest
OF my noisiest plsythinEs of upstairs,
On sccouut Of this very distinguished guest,
Then every room was turned UPSIDE down,
And all the carpets hung out 70 blow;
For when the Bishop is coming 10 town,
The house must be in order, you know.
50 out in the kitchen I made my lair,
And started game Of hide and-Seek;
But Bridget refused TO have me there,
For the Bishop was conling-to stay week
And she must make cookies and cake and pies,
Aud fill every closet and platter and pan,
Till l though; this Bishop, 50 great and wise,
Must be an awtuly hungry man.
Well at last he came and do declare,
Dear grandpspa, he looked Just like YOU,
With his gentle voice, and his silyery hair,
And eyes with smile a-Shiuiug through.
And whenever he read OF talked or prayed,
| understood every single word
And WASH the leaStest ai. afraid,
Though never once spoke or stirred;
Till, all Of a sudden, he laughed right out,
To see ME sit quietly listening 50
And began to tell Us stories about
Some queer little fellows in Mexico.
And all about Egypt and Spaiu-and then
He I-osa't disturbed by little noise,
But said that the greatest and best Of men
Once were ro,EcEiug, healthy boys.
And he thinks il is no matter at all
II little boy runs and jumps and climbs:
And mamma should be willing to let me crawl
Through the rails in the hail, sometimes.
And Bridget, sir, made great mistake,
In stirring up such bother, you see,
For the BishOp-he didu care for cake,
Ard really liked to play games with me.
But though he's SO honored in word aud act

lie couldn't spell Boston That's fact
But whispered TO me TO tell him how.

MODERN THEATRICAL SCENERY.

In some Of these richly mounted dramas
the stage seems choked with figures, furni-
ture, dressings, projecting scenes and
frames, with the result that the leading
characters have an undistinguished air,
and are confused with the background.
Words and speeches, like those of Shakes.
peare, are delivered with infinitely more
effect when the stage is less incumbered,
for there is less 10 distract the attention.
Modern scenery is now constructed on the
" bull iing,up" principle. Great houses
and other buildings, streets, etc, are all
constructed in their actual form, and
drawn on the stage by numbers of men
and, as one scene does for an act, there is
sufficient time to rear these edihces. The
cloth ia but rarely used, perhaps be-
cause it looks poor and ridiculous 10 com.
p4ny with so much solid matter. But is
NOS this " buildiugup" system really op-
posed to the illusion OF the stage? The
stage Is but E small area, under the most
favorable conditions, reaching to some
forty or fifty feet in width By, say, hun
bred feet in length. In this contracted
space the scene. builder proposes to exhibit
a market-plsce for instance, in an
Italian city. Houses, fountain, flights
of stairs streets-all are brought together
in one view. In real life only fragment
of these things could be seen at once from
the same point. Possibly it may be said
that st the distance at which the spectator
is seated, toe eye would take in sll the OBJ
jects named. But then they would be far
smaller and more iudistiuct according 20
the rules of perspective. The living figures
would supply the scale OF proportion. AS
it is, the arrangement is all at fault. For
these built-up" structures are on a minia-
ture scale, the tsllest house being only
some four or five times the hight OF the
performer. 1t is like the appari.ion of
human face in puppet show. 1t may,
perhaps, be urged that we see something of
she effect of this relief in alto relieves on
the sides of monuments, where a scene with
houses and figures, raised a few inches,
produces sn effect. But here the perspec.
tive is simulated, the buildings, etc, are
sloped at various angles. They are actu-
ally on the plane or a fiat, whereas the
theatrical relief recedes, as in reality. The
whole is, in short, an attempt to combine
the conditions of reality with the condi-
tions of Illusion. National Review.
