Taking Gnrc OF the IfOdy.

The Chrstion Mde.r, the leading
organ Of the Baptist Church in the
South, published in Atlanta, Ca, in
its issue Of Dec. 4, 1884, has the fol>
lowing editorial;
Too many people sccm to think that
q religious newspaper should bo con,
fined to the discussion Of moral and
religious subjects only, forgetting that
religion has to do both with the bodies
and souls Of men. "Prove all things,
hold fast that which is good" has as
much to do with tho practical sido of
life as il has with tho moral side. Our
readers will bear testimony that in all
questions discussed in the Mdeu, the
practical has been duly set forth. In
this paragraph, therefore, we only
seek to present an article worthy of
commcpdation. After s,,b|cctin~ it
to the above test we have tried Switt's
Specific and found it good-good us q
blood purifier, good as Il health tonic.
In this opinion we arc sustained bv
some of the best men in the church.
Rev. Jesse II Campbell, tho Ncstor Of
the Baptist denomination in Georgia,
says: sit is my deliberate Judgment
that Swilt's Specific is the orandcst
blood purifier ever discovered. It's
cllects are wonderful and | consider
them almost miraculous. There is no
medicine comparable to it," DR..
II. &. IIornadv, one Of the best known
ministers in our church, says: "Swift's
Specific is one Of the best blood Duri-
ficrs in existence"
These brethren speak ndviscdly.
But few preparations can bring for
ward such endorsements. The indeD
desires only to endorse these state
mcnts. We have witnessed the bcnc-
fetal effects of this medicine, not only
in our own households, but in several
other cases where seemingly all othor
remedies had failed. 1t Is purely q

Mystesy Of q To.yn PUMP.

The students and the faculty OF II ale
and the town born of the city are
puzzled over the conduct of tho old
town pump on the historic green, writes
a Now Haven correspondent of tho
New York SIN, which for som6 time
has boon emitting hot water out of its
Tcmplc, street spout, and purc cold wa
tor nslu ,,al out of its Church street
nozzle, and SO far there has boon no
satisfactory explanation Of tho phenom-
cnon.
Tho New Haven town pump is famous
principally for tho quality of the water
and for the numberof times it has been
stolen by skylarking students. 1t stands
fifty yards from the college campus, on
the lower corner of tho green, aud is q
tai and ponderous wooden structure
o: the seventeenth century, with two
handles, two spouts, and two iron
drinking cups. Tho city does not 70.
place it with q modern style iron pump
because these freeze up in winter and
arc too cumbersome for tho students to
lug away. And so New Haven people
reach up for the long hickory pump
brakes, by the thousands In summer
and by tho hundreds in winter. Some
Of the old business men of tho place al
ways stop thore to drink on their way
down town from dinner.
Originally tho site of the pump was
cold and limpid spring, fringed with
q doris. and in tho center of the nine
squares orig.na ~ laid out. Tho alder
grove was famous trysting-placo, and
existed for years. Tho spring was wall
cd up in two sections, and tho pump
was sct about the timo Yale college was
located here. The students have been
stcn ing it semi-occasionally ever
since.
Prof. Daniel G. Eaton, of Yale, was
Mt n loss to account for tho aqueous
freak of tho old pump. Never before
in his recollection had there been any
such complaint. He was loath to be-
but stepping up to the shackly Temple
to it With yigor, while with his loft he
extended the iron tankard under the
nozzle. A stream of topid water shot
into tho cup, smoking with heat in tho
cold air, 1t was nauseatingly warm,
and strongly impregnatol with miner
ais. Then the professor went around
to the Church street side and yanked
at the brake. Hero he procured a cup
OF ice-cold water sparkling in tho sun
light.
81 can't account for tho phenome-
non," said he. II do not think, how
ever, that it may bo attributed to any
volcanic or subterranean action"
Tho professor indicated that hot and
cold springs side by side were not To be
looked for in this part of the country,
At times tho Temple street spout
yields water that is so hot rs to be
scalding. both streams como from tho
samo source, though tho spring is divi-
dcd by wall from tho bottom. Why
tho water should be hot is q mystery,
But why such marked difference
should exist in the samples drawn from
the same woll through two pumps set
ovor 1t Is a much creator ono. Thore
is a theory that the water may be heat

heat pipes, but this is II If block

the heat, But this is hold to be Improbable
and the town fathors will be asked to
dig up the woll to SEQ what is the
matter.

Manual Dcxtcrity and tho IIetters.

1t is well known that in its develop
mcnt each new born being passes
through very much tho same Stages
that his ancestors havo been through
before him. Even after birth the
growth of the child's intelligence simu-
latcs tho progress of the human race
IRON tho savage condition of that of
civilization, 1t has tocn shown by
Proyer, and othors who have studied
infant Development, that afaculty which
has boon acquired by tho race at lato
stage, Is late in making its appearance
in tho child. Now, reading and writ
ing arc arts of comparatively recent
achievement. Savage man could reap
and sow, and weave, and build houses,
long before ho could communicate his
thoughts to person at o distance by
means of written speech. Thore is,
thcn, reason to believe that q child's
general Intelligence would bo best train
cd by making him skillful in many
kinds Of manual labor before beginning
to torture him with letters; and the
moral to be derived is, that primary in
struction should be instruction in raan-
ual dcxtority, and that reading and
writing could DO learned with pieasure
and with case by child who had boon
fitted for taking them up by tho right
KIND OF preparation.

Industrial Education.

Tho following nppcurs iu an edito-
rial of tho Ne,Us un6 Courier of Sat
urday, which shows that other coun,
tries arc fur ahead Of our own in the
way Of industrial education. 1t might
be we'll for our own country to pay IL
little more attention to this branch of
education if it does not appear to
Interfere with the public school sys-
tenn of the State. We arc of the opin-
ion that in the schools and colleges of
to-day they do not give that attention
to engineering, physics and the practi-
cal arts that tho subjects themselves
demand:
MIR. Thomas Ilardcman, of Georgia,
has glvon much tiE.c ana investigation
to one branch of the educational prob
lem, and has succeeded in collecting
much interesting information. In his
view. the dotoct in the public school
system is the neglect Of instruction
and training for useful occupations.
MIR. llardemnn is not an enemy Of the
public school system, and his array of
statistics and opinions is intended to
display its defects, and not as an inn
parchment Of the systom as whole.
He advocates industrial or mechanical
tuition in the public schools, so TINT
by practical handiwork pupils of
every condition may DO taught the
secrets of handicratt, and obtain some
knowledge of engineering, physics
and the practical arts.
England has eight hundred public
schools with thirty-tivc thousand pupils.
in Franco there arc trade schools, in
eighty cities, with thirty thousand
pupils, besides two hundred smaller
technical schools. Prussia has two
hundred schools, and Bavaria one hun
drcd and fifty. In the United States
there were only scvcnty.fyo trade
schools in 1875 with about seven thou
sand five hundred pupils. Thoro is
evidently II great room for develop
mcnt, therefore, in the direction point
cd out by Mr.. Hardoman, but it is
always questionable how far it is pro-
per or necessary that tho free schools
should give more than strictly clc-
mcntary education. Tho industrial
schools which arc advocated ought not
to be made all additional charge upon
the public.

SOME of the unrcconstructcd Rcpub-
lican newspapers arc making consid-
crablo howl over tho appointment of
so many cX-Confcdcratc soldiers to
important positions by tho President.
They forget that there is no North, no
South, but that we arc all citizens Of
q common country. They seem TO
delight in rcsurrccting old issues which
were buried twenty years ago. Com
menting upon this subject the Philatlcl-
phia Telegraph says:
President Cleveland, ii Is to be as
sumed, in appointing few Southern
men to office, rs well rs many Northern
men TO office, is simply doing what
Presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield and
Arthur did, viz, recognizing that the
war was over; that peace is twenty
years old; that the North and South
are simply geographical terms; that
Southcrners arc rs loyal 10 tho Union
rs Northerncrs; that it is one country
that wo arc al countrymcn, united by
stronger bonds of fraternity than ever
before; that this is II time Of goodwill
and common interest in North and
South, and that the more good feeling
and interest arc cultivated the better it
will be for the whole people.
The Telegraph recognizes the fact
that the war Is over and that we arc
m undivided people. How much
better would IL be for tho country if
this were tho sentiment Of the whole
Northern press.

FROM LUXURY TO a CELL,
A Trio OF Bank Cashiers in State Prison


HARTFORD, Conn, April 4.-Tho
three Norwich bank cashiers, Mccch,
Roalh and Webb, woo lived in luxury
on the proceeds Of their crimes, now
sleep in droary cells and labor daily in
tho prison workshop, forbidden to con-
verso with any one, or even to raise
their eyes when visitors arc present.
Mecch is haggard and hollow.cycd and
his clean-shavcn face and close-crop-
ped hair give him the appearance of q
man many years beyond his age. He
wor ks at bench, cutting out the thin
leather gussets used to line the heels
Of shoes. Roath is in the Same shop,
confined to the irksomc task Of bur-
nishing the soles of shoes. His luxu-
RANT black hair and heavy black mus
tachc have disappeared and few would
recognize in the tall, thin, white faced
man, with large dark cyos strangely
contrasting with tho pallor, the pre-
possessing William Roath, cashier of
thc Shetuckct National Bank. Webb,
portly and with some lingering traces
Of dignity even in his rough prison
suit, has for his daily work tho setting
of nails into shoe heels preparatory to
placing them under the mailing ma
chine. His white hair and mnstachc
are no more. Many old friends call on
them from time to time, but the trio
receive no tavors beyond those ac-
corded other wcll>bchavcd prisoners.
The wife and family of Mech have re-
moved from Norwich to u residence
near the prison that they may sec him
moro frequently. The prisoners are
permitted to smoke in their cells, and
the three cashiers arc kept well sup
piled with cigars.
