EVENING SESSION.

The Institute on re-assembling were
entertained by an address on the organi'
cation of common schools by Prof. John
O'Flaherty. The address speaks for
itself and clearly sets forth the troubles
and vexations of the teachers.

teacher, and no opportunity should be
lost to impress this fact upon trustee
and parent. 1t not infrequently hap.
pens that the teacher has to educate
not only the children. but their parents.
Perhaps the readiest way of molding
the chaos of the first day into some
thing like form and system is to begin
the classification by an examination i'm
the fifth reader, and so on downward
to speller or primmer. Great care should
he taken at this step in the organization
to guard against imposition. Nothing
should be taken for granted, every step
should be the result of rigid examina-
ton and actual knowledge. 1t is well
known to every practical teacher, that
the would-be smart girl and boy have
a great penchant to thrust themselves
into the higher classes without any
previous preparation. Absolute decis-
ion at this point may prevent many
hours of future trouble.
The organization of the grammar
class may now be considered in order.
Careful, yet prompt and decisive action
will be found to be the only safe>g guard
here, as at other points in the classifi
cation of the studies. A few moments
observation will clearly determine the
number of classes. A multiplicity Of
classes is to be deprecated, still, it il
better to have one too many, than tc
have one too few, or to have three OIL
four in class who are utterly unpre
pared to be in it.
Success no more certainly follows any
other department of the teacher
labor than in the skillful formation o
the arithmetic class. For myself, my
invariable custom is, to defer the ex-
animation in mathematics to such al

Apart from conjectures. our know
ledge OF Phnnician religion is desper-
ately meagre and the role played by
the dog is yet to be known. On the
general principle that the Phmnicians
borrowed without stint from Egypt.
we may suppose that the dog-headed
deity was not left without his share Of
honor, and the dogs that were SO care

coined those who entered the precinct
with pious hearts; but they would bite

polluted hands, or from wicked associ-

there was temple of the deity Adra-
nus of great fame, to which sacred
dogs" were attached, not less than
1000 in number. They acted as servi-
tors and attendants of the god, and
surpassed in beauty and size the ia
nous Molossian breed. During the
day they welcomed all that entered
the temple and grove, whether natives
or strangers; at night they played the
part of the good policeman. Appar-
emily, the excellent cheer that was
furnished at the temple was accus-
toned to produce its effect upon the
visitants; for Elian says that such as
were quite intoxicated and could only
stagger on their way.the dogs conduct

safely, but such as were violent and
noisy, they jumped upon and tore
their clothing, till they were brought

The observers of the signal service
are i've hundred in number. Each
candidate for enlistment is required to
pass rigid examination. both mental
and physical, after which he is enlisted
and ordered to the school of instruc-
ton at Fort Myer, Virginia, to undergo
a special course Of study, calculated to
still further fit him for his new duties,
This course covers about eight months,
at the termination of which he is again
examined, and If found properly quail
fed is announced as an assistant OBJ
server and ordered to some observation
station for duty. If he fail at this
final examination, he is discharged from
the service. As vacancies occur in the
list Of observer sergeants, those assis-
tants who have shown themselves best
qualified for practical service, are pro-
NOTED to that grade and generally
placed in charge of an observation
station. Two sergeants each year are
promoted to the grade of second lieu
tenant. Between the grade of
second lieutenant and brigadier
general there are no interme-
diate grades. The service, it is
maintained by Gen. Hazen, is often
severely embarrassed by not having
full complement of tried and ex-
perienced officers. The present plan,
it is held. also works injustice to the
men wholly faithful work and diligent
study have gained the rank Of second
lieutenant and who are debarred from
further advancement.
Many stations are maintained at iso-
lated points. viz: Mount Washington,
Pixies Peak, Sitka, Alaska, and Point
Barrow. the most northern point of
North America. It is considered de-
sirable to obtain series Of unbroken
observations covering a long period Of
years at these points. At some of
these places, the observers are often
imprisoned By the snow for . great por-
ton Of the winter. They are provided
with comfortable quarters, plenty Of
provisions. and reading material

THE ALARM.

"BurglarsI" screamed Mrs. Jones.
Burglars screamed the Misses
Jones. "Burglarsr screamed Master
Jones, as one after the other lights
flashed in the upper rooms and hastily
draped forms appeared at the bedroom
doors like the signal figures of ba-
rometer.
Jones and son, following each other
down stairs, one with poker and the
other with a croquet-mallet. found the
street door open. saw a silk umbrella
and two hats vanishing around the
corner. and yelled 'policev' but only
the echoes answered; and, after
careful search of the house and some
lamentations over the hats and UNI
brella, the Jones family returned to
their pillows, though each one declared
next morning that he or she had not
closed an eye.
"And the worst of it is" said Mrs.
Jones. they'll be here again. When
burglars determine to enter house
they always do it."

you object to the alarm, too
But finally the alarm was decided
upon and purchased and attached to
all the doors and windows on the
lower floor. and two days after this
was done Mr.. Jones, being obliged to
leave home on business. congratulated
himself upon his promptitude Of action.
