An Old-'rime SchOOl-Master.

A hundred and fifty years ago,
among the German settlers of Penn
sylvania, there was remarkable old
school-master, whose name was Chris
topher Dock. For three days he
taught school at little place called
Skippack, and then for the next three
days he taught at Stafford.
Whenever one of his younger schol-
ars succeeded in learning his A G,
the good Christopher Dock required
the farher of his pupil to give his son
penny, and also asked his mother to
cook two eggs for him as treat IN
honor of his diligence. To poor chill
dren in new country these were fine
rewards. At various other points IN
his progress, an Industrious child in
one of Docks schools received pen
ny from his father and two eggs
cooked by his mother. All this time
be was not counted member of the
school, but only as on probation. The
day on which boy or girl began to
read was the great day. If the pupil
had been diligent in spelling, the mas
ter, on the morning after the first
reading day, would give ticket care
fully written or illuminated with his
one penny" This showed that the
scholar was now really received into
the school
There were no clocks or watches;
the children came to school one after
another, taking their places near the
master, who sat writing. They spent
their time reading out of the Testa-
ment until all we're there. But every
one who succeeded in reading his
verse without mistake stopped read
ing, and came and sat at the writing
table to write. The poor fellow who
remained last on the bench was called
Lazy Scholar.
The funniest of Docks rewards was
that which he gave to those who made
no mistake in their lessons. He mark
ed large O with chalk on the hand Of
the perfect scholar. Fancy what a
time the boys and girls must have had
trying to 90 home without rubbing out
this O!-F'rom q "lSchooL of Long Ago."

Fighting. Ancient and Modern.

The only difference between ancient
and modern armies is the application
OF steam, gunpowder, and dynamite
very great one in appearance, but
not SO much SO in reality. Modern
armies do not need to be SO large in
tho field as ancient armies; yet il is
very questionable whether fewer peo-
pie are required for an effective war
in modern times than of old. The
men who make the powder and dyna-
mite and the girls who fill the
cartridges are quite as much part and
parcel of a modern army as the sol
diers who fire them off, and run pref
ty nearly similar risks. The methods
OF modern warfare are exactly the
same as of ancient warfare, and rela-
lively not much more effective, though
just as coarse and brutal The long
bow was quite as effective weapon
as the rifle, and modern cannon do
not seem to be any great advance on
the 6dttSt9 and battering-rams of tho
ancients. In naval warfare we have
actually gone back again to one of the
most ancient naval maneuvers, that
OF ramming. The siege trains of the
present day are just as cumbersome as
siege trains in times when, as the BIZ
BILE tells us, mountains and hills
were made low and valleys exalted;
when rough places were made plain
and the crooked straight" Science
has not yet said its last word on the
adaptation of natures secrets to re-
sistance against rapne, carnage and
wrong, whether exercised by nation
against nation or nations against in
dividuals. Even new substances are
known to chemists which it only needs
finer mechanical skill to make into
efficient and invincible agents for de-
Tending civilization against barbarism
and savagery. What secrets may be,
and no doubt are, hid in the womb of
nature, and are willing TO be revealed
by the hand of science, can only be
cOnjectured. But we may be sure of
this much; that the higher the civiliza-
ton and the more developed the intel
lect of the future the more hopeless
will become the attempts of needy and
adventurous barbarians against the
well-belng of rich and highly civil
lied nations. If the Romans had left
to Britain with their civilization a
body of physical knowledge similar
to that even of to-day, the Saxon con-
quest would have been impossible.

Sabbath observance.

On the question of Sabbath obser-
vance, The Boston Budget says: "What-
ever may be the view of individuals as
to the sacredness of any day, and the
duty of its strict observance, the fact
is patent that it is both impracticable
and impossible, if not unwse, to at
tempt by law to compel the observance
of the Sabbath in accordance with the
personal views of any one class of
citizens, however worthy. Each citi-
zen is entitled to be protected in the
observance of the Sabbath in accord
ance with his convictions. The gener-
al sentiment of the Christian world
has recognized the necessity of the
suspension of business and the adop-
ton of day which the large majority
accept as day of rest and for divine
worship. Our Isrealitish brethren alb
stain from general labor and business
on Saturday, and they are entitled to
protection and respect. In fact, it is
impracticable, unwise, and indeed i'm
possible to regulate by law the relig-
iOus observance of the Sabbath. Gen
eral regulation for the protection
of society, and for the preserva-
tion of the peace and good
order of the community, arc eminent
ly right and proper. But beyond this
it is not safe to go. Much must of
necessity be left to the convictions of
the individual citizens, and that gem
eral respect for the religious opinions
of others which forms the basis of
civil as we'll as religious liberty, which
after all is the best security for public
and private morality.

Travelling In 100.


From an illustrated paper on $50
cial Life in the Colonies" by Edward
Eggleston, in the July Century, we
quote the following: "The Virginia
planter of the richer sort, who was
said to live with more show and luxury
than country gentleman in England
on an estate of three or four thousand
pounds year, showed a strong liking
for the stately six-horse coach, with
Positions; but it was not until 1920
that wheeled carriages were recog-
nized in the legal price-lst of the Vir-
ginia ferries. In the other colonies,
also the coach was valued as sign of
official or family dignity, and some of
the richer Carolinians carried their
luxury so far rs to have carriages,
horses, coachmen, and all, imported
from England; but in Carolina, and
everywhere north of Virginia, the light
open chair or the covered chaise was
generally preferred. These were better
suited to the roughness and snuosit
of the roads than the coach. The
chaise was kind of two wheeled gig,
having top, and drawn sometimes
by one, and sometimes by two horses;
the chair had two wheels, but no top;
the sulky, which was much used,
differ from the chair chiefly in having
room for but one person. All these
seem to have been HUNG on straps, or
thorough braces, instead of springs.
Boston ladies in the middle of the
eighteenth century took the air in
chaises or chairs, with negro drivers.
Boston gentlemen also affected negro
attendants when they drove their
chairs or rode on saddle. horses. But
in rural regions, from Pennsylvania
northward, ladies took delight in
driving about alone in open chairs, to
the amazement of European travellers,
who deemed that paradise in which
women could travel without protec-
ton. Philadelp phians were fond of
long. light, covered wagon, with
benches, which would carry dozen
persons In an excursion to the country.
Sedan-chairs were occasionally used
in the cities. The Dutch introduced
sleighs into New York at very early
date; but slelghs for pleasure, though
known in Boston about 1900, only
came into general use in the northern
provinces at somewhat later period.
The first stage wagon in the colonies
was run from Trenton to New Bruins
wick, twice a week, during the sum-
mer of 1888. 1t was link in the
tedious land and water journey from
Philadelphia to New York, and trav-
elers were promised that il would be
fitted up with benches, and covered
and dry"
