THAT EXAMINATION.
Review of the Questions Used ut the Re
cent Teachers Examination.

Review of the Questions Used ut the Re
cent Teachers Examination.
EDS. REcoRD-U MON Permit me a word
for the victims. You are an editor. Your
tools are words You know them better
than the rest of Us. Does it ever occur,
now, that you meet word whose face is
familiar but to when YOU must seek q
fresh introduction from the dictionary ?
Does it occur often? Your reading is
wider than that of most fairly we'll Gdu-
Gated teachers. They viii find the need of
i TeiutrOductiOn to more words than YOU
will. one may have occasion TO know. at
long intervals, the meaning Of such words
as the examination papers published by
you recently contain, but how many of
them will be met frequently? / will ven
turc that il any one of our most intelligent
teachers-ProfeSsor Hyde Tor example
should commit these words to memory.
and then put down mark every time he
meets one in his regular rcading-no hunt
ing, reIncmber-jhat he viii not cover them
in six months Many of them will keep
out Of his way for year
Nothing better demonstrates the uncOm-
m0nuesS Of these words than the definitions
quoted from teachers who won first grade
certificates by averages 50 high in other
branches as to overcome their disastrous
failures in this They were not merely up
10 first grade in other branches. but enough
above their need TO make up for this great
deficiency If the definition test were as
reasonable as the others, this inequality Of
result could not occur. Words not met
BY the individual frequently are, like iso-
lated incidents in history, forgotten.
Let an old fellow ask another question or
two. What does question or direction 4
in the grammar questions. as published
last Saturday. mean ? State the j}riaciples
forms PosseSsye forms are used when
we wish to denote possession. Does that
answer it? When a series of nouns denot-
ing possession are employed, the last only
should have the pOssesSive form. Is that
what IS called for? For the life of me |
can't tell which, whether either or neither,
or both
In direction 5 what does the examiner
mean by parenthetical construction p
Does he mean to direct the punctuation OF
such sentence as, THE Nice-President,
Burr, quarreled with Hamilton - or such
| q sentence as, In the same year (1SO3) an
expedition was sent out ?"
| And q coordinate construction, what
is that | find coordinate conjGnc-

| nate clauses but what is coordinate
: construction o. | declare l would like tc

| tuate such sentence as, 4 wise, brave
| and good man has gomez" If so, why
doesn't ne say so? Or does he mean some
thing else

SAD Discovery BY \ SoN.-A dispatch
from Newcastle, Placer county, says
H. ". Barkhaus, an Old and respected
citizen of this community, met with an
accident on last Tuesday evening, which
caused his death The particulars, as near
as can be obtained, are as follows: He had
been TO Penryn in the evening. and, return
ing home in buggy after dark, ran off q
high bank short distance this side of his
place and was supposed to have been killed
instantly. his skull being crushed and one
leg broken. His son, being anxious at his
non-appearance and thinking possibly he
had met with some accident, started out in
pursuit. first going to Penryn. Upon get
ting there he was told that his father had
started for home. He then went back and
was nearly home when he happened to no.
tee horse standing down under the bank
and going down found his fathers horse
there and the buggy upside down. Lifting
the buggy up, he saw his father lying there
and upon taking hold of him found that he
was dead. The accident occurred about
o'clock in the evening, but the body wa:
not found until near 10 o'clock.

Government, casting aside national preju-
dices. are on the point of working the rich
coal mines Of China in more systematic
manner than hes been hitherto attempted,
aud have called in the aid of foreign eXpe-
rienced miners TO the task. This move
ment on the part of the Chinese authorities
is full of far-reaching industrial and politi-
cal meaning. The assistance of foreigners
will not long be necessary, as the Chinese
are apt pupils. and will soon be fully COM
petent to develop their own mineral re-
sources. The utilization of the large Chi
nese iron deposits which are near the coal
will follow as matter of course very soon.

IT is noised abroad that John w.
 Mackay, the bonanza millionaire, who some years ago said he would not ac- cept the position of United States Senator, if offered him by the unani- nous vote of the legislature, has changed his mind, and is now am. bilious to serve the dear people in the senate. On this subject the San Fran cisco News Letter has the following:
 "The recent trouble in the Nevada Bank which resulted in the withdraw al of Senator Fair and Bonanza King Flood, is said to have been due pri- marily to the political ambition of John w. Mackay. The success ot Fair in procuring seat in the United
 States senate is said to have stimulated the ambition of Mackay, and the re. cent example of Stanford in that state has shown him what wealth and pop. ularity may do. Nevada has sunk so low that he can get nothing out of the silver state but political position. Yet Nevada has a gift which he covets-- the United States Sena,orship, which will be given up by Senator Jones two years hence. To secure this Mackay is said to be bending all his energies. |"
