full of information concerning the Normal
School. The faculty remains the same as
in the preceding years, except that Miss
Rachel Loughary, former graduate from
the institution, now becomes principal of the
Model Primary School. There are seven
professors aud teachers. There were 202
students the past year and II candidates for
graduates in the different departments. The
Normal graduates receive diplomas from the
State authorizing them to teach in any public
school in the State without further examine

in three years, seems TO be very full and

A Predecessor of the Original Poem by
Poe.
The following artless narrative may
perhaps be found amusing by the read
ers of Notes and Queries. 1t is taken
from rare little book, to which it
gives the subject of one hundred and
sixty-six pages of edifying preachment,
and of course is firmly believed in by
the author. The book has rough
woodcut representing Master I. K.
whiting his stick by the woodpile and
the raven prophesying on the church
tower. The following is the title:
"Vox Corvi; or, the Voice of Raven,
that Thrice spoke these words dis
tinctly: Look into Colossians the Sd
and 18th. The Text it self looked into,
and opened, in o Sermon, Preached

which l take it is now on its way to

Persons; Thomas Kinnersley, one OF
the said Grandchildren, of but Ten
Years of Age, starting up from the
Fireside, went out of the Hall-Door and
safe himself down upon Block by the
Wood-pile, before the Door, employing
himself in no other Childlike Exercise
than cutting of Stick, when in less
than half quarter of an Hour, he re-
turned into the Hall in great amaze

affrighted, and said to his Grandfather
and Grandmother, Look IN THE THIRD

Earnestness, repeating the words no
less than three Times, which Deport-
ment and Speech much surprising the
the whole Company, they asked him
what he meant by those words; who
answered with great Ardency of
Spirit. That a RAVEN had spoken
them Three times from the Peak of the
Steeple, and that it look'd toward w.
WIS House, and shook his HEAD and
WINGS thitherward, directing its
Looks and Motions still toward that
House. All which words he heard the
RAVEN distinctly utter three times, and
then saw it mount and fly out of sight.
His Grandfather hereupon, taking the
Bible, and turning to the said text,
found these words. And let the

THE ENGINEER.
Necessity OF Great Intelligence on the
Part of the Engine Driver.

Necessity Of Great Intelligence on the
Part of the Engine Driver.
No two engines ever resemble each
other, no matter how carefully they
may have been built from the same
plan, neither do any two drivers man
age their engines precisely in the same
way. We have in this instance an ex-
cellent opportunity of comparing two
different methods of driving. 1t is the
drivers principal object to get the re-
quired amount of work out his engine
with the smallest possible expenditure
of coal and water. To obtain this re-
suit the steam must be worked expan-
sively, which is done by placing the
valve gear in such position by means
of the lever that the supply of steam
to the cylinders is cut off before the
piston has accomplished its full stroke.
There are two ways of controlling the
speed of an engine worked, as all loco
tives are worked now, expansively.
You may keep the regulator wide
open, so that there is always full sup
ply of steam on its way to the cylinders,
in which case you increase or dimin-
ish the speed by using the steam
more or less expansively through
the agency of the lever. Or you
MY work with the same amount of
expansion throughout the journey, and
have command of the engine by con-
stantly changing the position of the
regulator. There is no doubt that the
men who employ the latter method
save something by it-although this
would hardly seem to be the opinion of
the driver who is bringing- us rapidly
nearer TO London, for unlike the driver
whom we accompanied ON the daylight
journey, his hand is not often on the
regulator. As we rush on past count
less signals, punctual to the minute yet
always having ample time to slacken
speed before we come to the places
where the different colored lights clus-
ter thickest, we are reminded once
more how much is required of an ex-
press engineman besides a thorough
acquaintance with the machinery he
has to control. Travelling atnight at a
great speed. he must know every inch
of the road by heart-where an incline
begins and where it ends-and the ex-
act spot at which every signal along
the line may be first sighted. He must
have completely mastered the working
of the traffic on both the up and down
lines, and, above all, must be ready to
act with the utmost promptitude should

Alum in Bread.

Persons can test the bread they buy
for themselves by taking piece of the
bread and soaking it in water. Take
this water and mix it with an equal
part of fresh milk, and if the bread
contains alum the mixture will coag-
ulate. If better test is required,
boil the mixture, and twill form per-
feet clod. Begin and Barber, French
chemists, say the long continued use of
alum in edibles produces a cough and
affects the bronchial tubes, often with
very serious results. Professor Lervin
says: AFTER the frequent use of alum
in extremely small doses, it has been
observed gastric symptoms result, pro-
ducing loss of appetite, nausea and
gastritis.
''Alum," says DIR. Won Klein, of
Columbus, ''has a tendency to irritate
the organs of the stomach. If alum is
introduced into the stomach, and it
does not meet with sufficient mucous
membrane, the stomach will positively
be more or less affected, and this in the
course of continued abuse is necessar-
lily injurious. An easy and simple
plan to detect alum in baking powder
is to dissolve a teaspoonful or more in
an equal amount of milk and water.
Boil few minutes, and if the powder
contains alum curd will at once form.

the eagerness and avidity one seeks for
