closed the front door, leaving table
in the front street for visiting cards.
The body will be embalmed.
Immense quantities Of flowers were
sent to the residence. The Deputa-
tions from the municipal govern
ment and from parliament offered
their coincidence last evening.
Among those who arrived was
Nine. Bernhardt, dressed complete
ly in white and bringing with her
IN immense crown of roses.
President Grevy sent to w. Lock
roy, son-in-law Of Victor Hugo, a
letter of coincidence.
At late hour last night there
were still people waiting to inscribe
their names in the register place
outside d Victor iiugo's house.
The crowd stood in reyerent silence.
Victor Hugo bequeathed $4,000
to the poor. Halt of his fortune Of
400, 1000 francs was willed to his
daughter Adele, who is in lunatic
asylum. 1t was his wish that his
heirs and executors should here
after join in building a lunatic asy-
lum.
He left request that his body
should be conveyed to the grave in
pauper hearse, without any religious
rites. In the document containing
this request Hugo afiirms his beliefin
God.
A fund for national monument
for the dead poet has already been
started.
1t is not tefnately decided when
the funeral will occur, but it will
probably not take place before We'd
nesday.
NJ. Allain large, minister of the
interior, has authorized the friends
Of Victor Hugo to allow the poets
remains to lie in state for three
days under the Are de Triomphe.
The body will be conveyed thither
tomorrow and placed on cata-
falque
The clerical papers denounce Lock
roy for withholding from Victor Hu-
60 the message from Cardinal
Guibert Offering to attend the death
bed.
Jules Simon says that the whole
academy will attend the funeral and
that Maxine De Camp will deliver
an grafton. The death Of Victor HUI
90 causes grief throughout the con-
tinent. The newspapers are eagerly
sought for on account Of the desire
for the tic particulars Of the last mo-
ments.

Victor huge Scenes at the Poets
Death-Bed.

PARIS, May 23.-A storm was rag
ing when Victor Hugo died. The
news of his death was announced to
the assembled crowd by Nictorlcn
Sardon. The dying man lay IN a
trance for some hours before tie end.
He awoke suddenly, raised his head,
gazed at his family and friends stand
ing around the bedside and sank back
lIfeless.
His white hair and beard grew
quite long during his illness; lbs
body was much emaciated but
the brow retained its grandeur.
The features of the dead poet
we're distorted by pain before death,
but afterward they assumed their
calm serenity.
His las. words were: ''Adieu;;
Jeanne, adieu,' and were addressed
to his favorite granddaughter.
The scultor Dalon has taken a cast
of the face, Nudar has taken pho
tograph and Glaizc has made another
sketch.
When the death was announced
there was a great rush of reporters
to the house, and the servants were

the Gulf.

Perhaps the most notable resi-
dence along this warm, sandy sea
bank is that Of Jefferson Davis.
They call him President Davis here.
They speak of him with great re-
spect. Jefferson Davis is not deified
at all, as some writer's foolishly say.
But, | repeat, heis greatly respected.
And when you bear in mind that not
one Of these ten million people who
did not put some sort of sacrifice on

will not be surprised. This man

and know little Of him, these grey
old mothers whose sons went down
in battle, these beautiful girls of the
South whose fathers never came
back any more but they have their
memories and their traditions. They
call him President Davis, and will
continue to do so while he lives. A
great many Northern people visit
Mr.. Davis, and not all with the no
blest motives. | am told that he has
many more visitors from the North
than from the South.

the pines and vines, but is sadly di-
lapidated. Davis is poor man, J
am told, and cannot afford to keep
the place up. 1t is little set back
from the sea, and not too close 70

Of course the desire to see this
man. now in the last days Of his his
torical and tempcstuous life, is ire
sistible when almost within call.

lutions, | yielded For it must be

There is, indeed, wide discrimi-
nation between telling how thing
has been done, ard telling why il
has been done. Much of what we
hear in the classroom and read in
textbooks. purporting to be an anal.
ysis, in explanation Of solutions, is
nothing more than a statement of the
process, telling how the examples
have been solve0. Pupil and teach
er frequently seem to think that
this parrot-like way of telling what
has been done is really logical ex-
position of the principles involved.
From the beginning to the end of
the course, it should be the aim to
teach germinal principles and lead
pupils to apply them TO as great a
number of cases as their time and
ability may permit. 1t may be sug-
gested that no pupil should be fur
nished with the tables of addition,
subtraction, &C.; but having been
taught the principle upon which a
table is made, he should be required
to make it for himself.
In common fractions, the pupil
should be taught by means of the
fewest rules and principles consis-
tent with his ability. TO cover all
the forms Of reduction in denominate
numbers, nothing is needed but the
principle, that to pass from higher to
lower orders, we multiply by the
number of the lower which it takes
to make one of the higher; and, to
pass from lower to higher, We divide
by the corresponding number. This
simple principle covers all cases,
these involving fractions as well as
others. In dealing with problems
in interest, all that is needed is the
following rule:
Find the effect producedby using
a unit of the number required, under
the given conditions, and compare
this with the given effect.
This Will cover the cases usually
detailed under six or eight rules.
Thus, from a few germlnal princi-
plies, lead the pupils to develop, as
far as possible, the whole science for
himself. \. I. Il.

Don't Treat.

Is 1t not true that two-thirds of
the drinking and drunkenness in
our country are traceable to the prev
alent custom of treating!
Men do not have natural appe-
tite for strong drink. 1t has to be
acquired. Where is it acquired !?
In the home in part. But yet the
number Of homes in which no liquors
are used is now very great and con-
stantly increasing. Those who learn
to drink in the home are few in
comparison with the total number Of
drinkers. Some go alone and seek
for it in the tavern, or take it to
their rooms, and so learn to drink.
But these are very few indeed.
Some, again, learn the taste from
having it prescribed by physicians,
and the number of such is by no
means small. But after making re-
ductions from all these, there re-
mains yet the vastly larger number
who have entered the school
of tipping through the ever ready
alphabet of the treating system. And
if this could be abolished, it is safe
to say that the number Of drinkers
would be greatly diminished.
The country youth goes to the
village. He meets an acquaintance,
and straightway is impOrtuned to
have something. He does not want
it: if left to himsel would never
have thought of it; but, when invit-
ed, bows to custom and takes his
first glass. The young man in the
city is met by associates. the treat is
called for, he Is included, and though
at first declining, he yields at last,
and treat follows treat. A man has
already had as much as he can stand,
and is going home, when an acquain-
tance halls him and he fingers at the
bar till drunken. A man drives his
bargain, and when it is settled,
clinches it with treat. And so il
goes on in counting house, saloon,
street and hotel, like a very demon
of restless, tireless agency for evil.
Reader, we plead with you to use
your influence against this pernic-
ious custom. Way!
1. 1t is foolish custom.
Why should you be expected tc
take every friend or acquaintance,
whom you chance to meet, in and
pay for his drinks, or expect him tC
return it? You don't do it with re-
spect to his meals, bis clothing, his
luxuries of any kind. And the
drinks cost money as well as do these
When you have met a friend and re
ceived and returned his warm greet
ing, what better or purer indication
is given to that friendship by taking
him to saloon and "setting 'en
up?' Is bargain any more bar
gain because you seal it with half ;
dollar worth ofliquor? Don't yol
know that to treat means that yol
are to be treated by the same man
aud why should you impose such
duty on any one? If you mus
drink, pray go and drink, but don
press every one you meet to joll
with you.
2. 1t is an expensive custom.
The tyrant lays down the law tina
it is mean to drink alone. If other
are near, you must treat them
There may be one or there may be
dozen-all the same, this custor
bids you call them all up. Tn
