Let teachers avoid discouraging their
scholars, for Encouragement sours their
temper, blunts their ambition, lowers
their respect for their teachers, Weakens
their mental faculties, and destroys their
enthusiasm. Encouragement adds
strength and vigor to every power brought
into use in the tedious process of learn
;ug. One grand point in the art of
teaching is to know how to hold the pu-
pills most at ease, so that the mind shall
act with freedom, clearness and force; to
draw out the mind, helping it IN its eff
forts to grasp understandingly hitherto
unknown subjects; to aid it in storing
sBayiahd retaining facts and principles.
The great object is not so much to turn
out brilliant scholars as to train young
minds to apply what they learn to the
every day thoughts and acts of life.
This is the legitimate work Of the teach
ers-a work other than which there is
no engagement more important or hon
orably.-T The academy Neacs.

A Talk With the Farmers.

It is hardly necessary for to say to intelligent
farmers that at the rate we are breeding mares in
this State, we shall soon have to seek a market
elsewhere fOroUr surplus stock; IL we were COM
PEELED to do it to-day there is not a market in
the United States where the stock of this country
would bring eighty dollars head on an average. il
this is the case, and believe it is il Is cerfainIV
time that we commenced to lay the foundation FOR
a larger and better class of horses In order to dc,
this We have got to breed to large, fne well bred
stations; we cannot obtain good results by taking
the advice Of some horse peddler and breeding to a
three hundred dollar scrub; such stations cannot
produce nne stock and to expect il il TO do violence
10 every principal Of animal propagation. We are
not morse peddlers hawking worthless stock about
the country, we are breeders. One of my partners
number In the family, and have fortyOne myself.
we furnish farmers the same goods We use our
selves. There will be no discounts made from onr
advertised prices. We cannot afford TO enter mt
any competition with scrub stock; our four horses
cost us more than seven thousand dollars. and
they are among the finest draft stock in the world
among their several Classes We propose To 90 70
the topin our business, and believe there is aT~J1
room there. In word we propose To fren,.h Ky
farmers Of Central Kansas with To anaHt 5 nc
stations in the world at lower i,rioes than ca ~
obtained elsewhere We sAsll make public saIe
Oh horses every year, md farmers that have fe,v
horses TO sell can bring them and we will cash onr
Customers notes and give them their face yaIne To-
them, provided they guarantee them 70 us. Itia
Dur object 70 build up business we can all make
money al. Farmers must expect to let US make
money we are not doing this thing for fun: we
viii an make money. Farmers that patronize orr

or them, and as We grow old we will grow rich and

LITTLE THINGS.

Your chief business is to make pu'
pills think, not to think for them; to
make them talk, not to talk for them;
to draw out their powers, not to display
your own.
The teacher must love his work, and
feel that it merits his entire attention
and best efforts.
Unless you are willing to do much ex-
ira work out of regular school hours,
you can hardly hope to win.
The pupil thoroughly knows only that
which he knows hoto to tell reasonably
well.
Never allow questions and answers to
drag; let them be quick, decisive, and
full.

Why SOME TEACHERS FAIL.-They
are easily discouraged. They do not try
to improve. They fail to know what
the world is doing They fail to have
new ideas. They read no educational
papers or books. They follow the same
method with each class. They attend
no teachers meetings. They complain
too much. They do not study their les
sons. They fail to practice what the ed
vocational papers tell them. They do not
determine to be the best teachers in the
place. They forget that the art of
teaching is an art that requires study.
They do not seek information BY studys
ing the methods of the best teachers

A parade and review Of the famous
New York Seventh" has been ordered
for Wednesday, March IS, in honor of its
war veterans" At this parade will be
presented to each Of the war veterans Of
tho regiment who have distinguished
themselves, and thus conferred honor
upon tho regiment, cross of honor"
specially designed by Tiffany & Co. Tho
style OF the badge is'very rich. 1t con-
sists of military cross, surmounted by q

lowing residents of Washington: Gen.
Allan Rutherford. Gen. VIM. Henry
Browne, Capt. Gilbert M. Hustled, and
Col. VIM. Winthrop, deputy judge advo-
cate general United States army.
Gen. Rutherford was corporal in the
9Th, the other gentlemen were privates.
There are many who will no doubt
remember that day in April, 1861, when
the 9Th came into Washington, having
marched from Annapolis in consequence
of the railroad having been torn up, and
the relief that all loyal hearts felt when
this, the advanced guard of the union
hosts, made its appearance on our streets.
From the ranks Of the eth regiment
came over 900 officers for the regular and
volunteer forces Of the union army. many
Of whom attained high commands. II
was literally a regiment of officers.
No doubt the parade. review, and pre-
sentation of the cross of honor will be
most interesting occasion.

A RnfLnING nooM.
WIN nj the Builders aud Real Estate
Men Say OF the Outlook.


A talk with several prominent builders
yesterday developed the fact that the
building outlook for the coming seas, n
was very Aattering. Already plans for
the erection of several rows Of small
houses had been drawn up, as also plans
for the erection OF several fine private
residences. Should the weather continue
to be favorable work will soon be com
menced in tho ereetioa OF houses In all
parts Of the city. 1t Is believed that the
coming season will compare favorably
with the past, and some builders alleged
that their contracts would outnumber
any heretofore entered into. The BOOM
however, is stated to be largely in the
direction of small dwellings, for which
there is great demand.
A chat with the real estate men re-
vealed the fact that matters were loom
ing up and hopes were entertained for n
successful season. Ono real estate man
felt that assurance Of success that at an
early day he will begin the erection of
several rows Of two.story brick dwellings
In different sections of tho city. Tho
most prominent point in the market for
building purposes, at the present, is said
to be the northeastern section of the city.
Talks are heard of several parties buying
large squares Of ground In these localities,
and of the erection of rows of suitable
dwellings. Those who have invested
there heretofore claim that u large repay
ment has been returned TO them on their
Investment.
