State Teachers at RohobOih.

The annual meeting of the State
Teachers Association commenced oil
Tuesday last at RehOboth, President
Carroll, of Dover, in the chair. The
following were elected officers of the
Association President, Prof. L. Irving

Prof. w. A. ~ holds, Wilmington,
Prof. II. N. Rawlins, Dover. Rev. G.
w. Prettyman treasurer john l..
Thompson, Georgetown,and secretary,
Miss Lydia NJ. Hall, Milford. Imme-
diately after the election Of officers, the
meeting adjourned.
The Association met in the chapel
at 9 o'clock a. m, Wednesday, with
Rev. c. w. Prettyman in the chair.
Prof. Breerword, of Seaford, sent a
paper on "Tne Benefits of a State Nor
NAL school," He pleaded strongly
for normal school for the State OF
Delaware.
Prof. A. n. Raub, of Newark, made
a strong speech, giving a full account
of the normal schools In Pennsylvania,
at one of which he was principal for
six years. He believed that the tuition
of normal schools ought to be free;
then the student can be easily dis
missed when it is found that he or she
has no fitness for a teaoher's work.
Remarks were made by Prof Car
roll, emphasizing free tuition at the
normal school.
Mr. Thompson, Of Georgetown,
thought the State was already too
much burdened for US to expect any
help from it.

In a valuable paper contributed
to Harpers for September J. S. Bill
Iings, NJ. D. explains the dangers
that result from bad drainage and
filthy cesspools as follows:
"The gaseous and other products
of decomposition of sewage, vary
greatly according to the amount Of
free oxygen present, for upon this
depends largely the character Of the
heterogeneous which are at work.
Some of these can only exist in the
presence Of free oAygeu, others only
in its absence, and thus two very
different kinds may be at work in
the same cess-pool, the oxygen low
ers at the top and the oxygen haters
in the depths.
What may be termed the normal
and beneGcient processes of decom
position go on most rapidly and eff
ficiently where there is free and
constant supply ofoXygen. 1t is fol
this reason that a porous soil, alter
nately mOistened with sewage anc
then dried, so that each particle o
the soil becomes covered with a thin
LAYER of organic matter, thus expos
inc an enormous area to the air whel
this again finds its way into the in
terstices of the soil, and so giving
the aerobic organism the most favor
able conditions for their develop
ment.produces such excellent results
while at the same time the product
are compounds of nitrogen whicl
are very valuable in many ways.
On the other hand, a soil con
stantlv saturated with sewage, as il
: the vicinity of leaEy cess-pool
cannot thus purify itself, and the dc
$ composition which goes on undo
. such circumstances gives rise to pre-
= ducts which are specially OGensiv
and dangerous, communicating tn
, ground water, and through this tn
, wells and springs in the vicinity
;. and communicating also the groun
air, which in cold weather is draw
into all houses which have not all
tight cellar floors and walls.

Tn the present depressed state OF
Of orr industries it is very impor-
taiit that we should secure the trade
of foreign countries, the way to DO
it is thus set forth by the New York
Times:
oDo we want the copper or wool
or wheat of Chill, or the wool, corn,
beef and tallow of Uruguay? Other
nations want these raw products
and they send their steamers for
them. Chill and Uruguay want man
ufactured articles, and very naturally
they buy these from the nations
that take theirraw products. More
over. these buying nations are able
TO cut under our prices for manulac-
lures because of our tax on raw ma
terials. Even if we could offer our
manufactured articles in Chill and
Uruguay at prices as low as tIose
of British articles of the same kind
and grade, the merchant would natul'
allv buy from the nation that buys
his raw products. Subsidized steam
ers. and low freight rates cannot
cain for us this trade that goes t.
consumers of South American raw
products in obedience to the natura
laws of commerce.

THE ex-United States CONSUL
general at rt-au-Prince, Mr.. G. A
Van Bokelen, recently arrived in
New York, tells most remarkable
story of outrageous treatment at the
hands of the Haytien government.
For a very slight offence he has been
locked up in a wretched dungeon
from March 1884, until the 9th OF
June 1885, the place being infested
with rats and lOathsome vermin.
His health, which was robust when
he was imprisoned, is now entirely
broken down, and he has become a
victim to consumption and chronic
catarrh, while his face is pale and
haggard and gives every evidence OF
long suffering,
Mr.. Van Bokelen says: "No at

LITERARY NOTES.
nonEY's LApY's LOOK.


1t is not often that we find age,
beauty, enterprise, these three fea-
lures, combined. GOdey's Lady's
Book, however, is an illustration.
Who does not remember the old
magazine that has grown to be the
oldest American monthly? While
hundreds of Others have come and
gone this old reliable still maintains
its high position which it won over
half century ago. From between
its covers have slept forth some Of
the most gifted writers who have
ever graced American literature, and
it has acted as sponsor for many an
obscure and struggling writer of
whom the world might otherwise
have remained in Ignorance. 1t
seems like a silver thread of instruc-
ton and entertainment running
through the years of time, while its
beauty and enterprise under its pre-
sent management bids fair that it
will continue on its course for years
to come. Price Of lllth vol. Sl.00.

THE Novelties Exhibition to be
held in West Philadelphia by the
Franklin Institute from September
IS to October 81, both days inclu-
sive, promises to exceed in general
interest the very successful electrical
exhibition of last fall. The neces-
sary qualifications for admittance
into the exhibition are novelty and
merit on the part of the invention
displayed, the merit being sufficient
to redeem the article from trivialty.
The various ingenious devices for
minimizing household labor will
doubtless attract all womankind
while the mechanical and electrical
toys will afford fund of pleasure
to the Juveniles, and even to the
children of n larger groweth.
