/ think that the Ironton School Board act
ed very wisely In retaining Prof. Scott as
Pricipal of the Ironton Public School. We
need more such whole souled Christian gen.
tlemen as Prof. Scott to teach the youths of
our country. How many we see entering
the profession of teaching wholly unfit both
in head and in heart to mingle in the society
of the untutored young, let alone attempting
to teach them for life and eternity. Oh how
great is the responsibility of the teacher!
How many rush headlong into the vocation
of teaching without ever thinking of the
manifold duties that devolye upon the
teacher.
Among the many vocations of life we do
not object to young man choosing his vo-
cation while very young, if he knows that
he is fitted for his profession, and that his
profession is fitted for him. Thousands Of
young men make the greatest mistake of
their lives by entering the courthouse, the
schoolroom or the pulpit, when nature has
so well fitted them for singing the sledge,
pitching dirt, or following the plow. Out of
thirty-six young men who graduate in mill
tary tactics from the military academy at
West Point, not more than one is ever heard
of as a man of note after leaving that "eighty
acre piece of land"
There are about three hundred failures in

that self-reliance which is requisite to en-
able them to draw the resultant, having two
components, good character and properly
trained mind? Are they making assiduous
efforts to iustil inIo the minds and hearts of
their pupils such principles as will give them
pleasure in life and lead them to pleasure
everlasting in the beyond?

Rev. DIR. FOy's Lecture

We had the pleasure of hearing a
lecture before the Normal Institute,
on Friday night last, delivered by
Rev. Jos. h. Foy, DID,, LID, of ST.
Louis, Mo. The lecture, in it's subject
matter, was vigorous, original, enter
tanning, and intensely practical. The
DIR. began by stating graphically the
pessimistic theory of national destiny.
Empires had been born, had grown to
maturity, flourished for season, and
gradually by the operation of various
causes had fallen into decadence, and
eventually had suffered death. Many
asserted that this cycle of events was
inevitable-that national, as well as
individual, human organisms contain
ed within them, from the beginning,
the latent seeds of ultimate dissolu-
ton. He sketched the worlds proud
empires, and pointed out the causa
morris in each case. He affirmed that
there is a reasonable ground for hoping
that the United States may escape de-
crepitude and national extinction. He
said that We possess two powerful,
conservative and corrective institu-
tions, unknown to those magnificent
empires (which were and are not. !"
These principles are the Christian re-
ngion and free system of general in
struction for the masses. The lecturer,
in glowing terms, pointed the moral
and physical emasculation necessarily
resulting from gods whose attributes
were rage, revenge and lust. A coun-
try whose domestic and foreign policy
was founded upon the Golden Rule
would be immortal. The ideal state
had not yet come to the earth. 1t
would be here eventually. Conscience
would dominate public ofairs yet, and
the s'rascalsn would have to 'stand
from under" The Apocalyptic seer,
in describing the time when there was
to be no more sea, and when a city
descended from God out of Heaven,
was sketching this golden age of the
future. The true golden age is ahead,
not behind US. The sea is an emblem
of separation, national enmity and
jealousy. A dim sense of brotherhood
was abroad. Feeble as it yet was and
almost voiceless, it would swell into
q roar that would drown the petty
whisperings of courts and the cabals
of princes. The ancient Kingdoms fell
through prosperity. Sensualism, born
of luxury, rendered them unvirile.

De Soto Waterman: Large num-
bsrs of our citizens flocked to the rail-
way repair tracks on Wednesday last
to view the famous monument of red
granite, which was halted at De Soto,
for repairs to the cars which are to
carry it to Pittsfield, Massachusetts,,
where 1t will be erected to the memory
Of the late Hon. Thomas Allen, by his
relatives. This monument is said to
be the largest polished granite shaft in
the world, the dimensions being AZ feet
in length, feet 9 inches square at its
base and 2 feet 9 inches at the top, and
its weight is As tons. The journey from
the, Syenite Quarries near Middle
brook, in Iron county, to st. Louis, has
been quite an eventful one, the monu-
ment being loaded on two engine cars
of great strength. The delays were
occasioned by the heating of the journ-
ais while running, and reloading, in
order to more equally distribute the
enormous load. Under the direction
of Supt. Kerrigan it was finally placed
SO that the trip from De Soto to st.
Louis was made with ease and dis
patch. Mr.. Smith, superintendent OF
the Syenite Quarry. accompanies the
monument on it's long journey to Mas

In keeping horse fat, there is as
much in the driver as in the feed. A
horse well curried and rubbed with a
wooden rag afterwards is sure to make
a sleek-coated horse, and when well
groomed is, we may say, half fed. A
cross and nervous driver will fill the
horse with fear and dread, and will
rapidly run the horse down. Use any
animal kindly. Always be firm and
make it mind, but never get excited. A
cool-headed driver makes a long-head
| ed horse. II Detroit Post,

NOT WHAT THEY SEEM.
Business Circulars Printed in Imitation OF
Type Writing Work.


A new specially in the printing bust
ness is the production of printed cir
culars in imitation of letters written
with a type-writing machine. This
business has now been brought to SO
fine point that circulars can be turned
out on an ordinary job printing press,
which only an expert can tell were not
written with typewriter. The main
thing in producing this result is to have
type that will make impressions similar
to those made if the printing were
done through ribbon. The type is
cut after the varied patterns of type
writer letters, with the edges slightly
rounded to give the printing a some
what blurred appearance. A soft,
muddy ink is used, which materially
aids the deception, the ink being also
of the color used in type-writers. An
other important point is the spacing
of the letters. Each letter or char
acter on a typewriter covers the
same space; thus, an "r will have
the same space as "w," and a
g" will get as much as either. Look
ing perpendicularly down a page of
typewriter manuscript it will be seen
that the letters are in regular columns,
each letter or space on the second line
being exactly parallel with the letters
or spaces on the first line, and the same
rule hold NO good all through the page
This is initiated by having the letter
press ty pc of uniform size, no spaces
used except the regular space of let
ter between each word. The result O
this is that while the left side of thu
printed page is straight column o
letters, the right side is irregular
some of the lines running out three O
four letters beyond others, which il
exactly the case with typewriter mat
ter.
Circulars printed this way are com
ing largely into use in business, tn
idea, of course, beng that they will b
given attention as original produc
tons. To help the deception, the cir
culars are usually addressed with tn
style of typewriter VIII oh the circula
initiates. The expense of produc n
circulars this way is now but a tritl
over that of ordinary job-printing.-
