During our recent very pleasant visit
to the Williamson Female College, we
were struck with the earnestness and
perfect self.coutrol of Prof, j. N. Lander.
He had a class in trigou omstry. Evi.
IDENTIFY, he was master, not only of the
lesson, but Of the entire subject. In the
class were two of our former pupils.
Their smiles of welcome made us feel
very much at home, and they may be
assured that their former teacher Is proud
of their success. They talked 30 intelli.
gently about sines and co.sines, tangents
aud CO. .tangents, etc., that once, fearing
that the Professor might call on US for an
expression of opinion, we felt somewhat
like We better fly of. at a tangent our
selves. 4
We spent two psriodsta period is the
time devoted TO each reeitationl in the
recitation room Of Prof. w. T. Lander.
There we met several Of our former
pupils, and had the pleasure tnf. seeing
them saillfuily handling decimals. Prof
Lander has plans peculiar TO himself,
aud certainly understands how to make d
girl do her best ,hinking. By the way,
he promises 10 contribute to the Teach
ere Column.

Making Money Easily.

once heard an eminent Georgian say
that he had "made money with disguise
ing facility" This apt and striking
phrase has world Of meaning attached
to it now and then. For instance, there
is young Jewish lawyer who comes to
this city every winter and manages great
claims upon the Government. He dis.
dains all cases except those of magnitude,
and his success is wonderful. | have
seldom met more captivating man, and
his tact is equal to mis- talent. He has
numerous accomplishments, speaks sew
ernl languages. and appears to have seen
all the places worth inspecting and to
know all persons whose acquaintance is
desirable. He says: ~ make money so
easily and abundantly that it is getting
to be an embarrassment, paradoxical an
that may seem. And that is T. case
with all of my family. We arer III, aud
grow richer without any difficulty. 1t is
no doubt a gift or II combination of
special qualities. / am sure money
would be more attractive to me if hard
to obtain, and see how its easy procure
ment may become something of cure"
To the vast minority of mankind this
magic power has been denied, and they
never learn to read the riddle Of accumu.
lation. As this Jewish gentleman is the
possessor OF 80 many diplomatic arts,
aud cares nothing for Office as an emolu:
ment, what a foreign ambassador he
would make!

Tie Presidents Health Hobby

II the President has one hobby above
another in connection with selecting
office holders, it is on the subject of
health. When Il name is presented for
his consideration, and after he has salts.

after this style: what sort Of look.
ing man is he?" "How much does he
weigh ?" SIS he in perfect health ?"
"Do you think he could perform hard
work and still keep his physical condi.
ton uumpaired? ?" The President likes
a robust man, and believes .ha, it is a
mistake to put men into office who are
more than likely to either neglect their
duties or to retire with shattered cons,i.
tulions. Consequently candidates who
are not vigorous, in q physical sense,
meet with little favor at The White
House - II'0shinyfon Letter.

we approve or disnpprove is to improve
the teachers, thereby improving the
pupils and all concerned. When we
disapprove or criticse, we call no name
to prevent the chagrin which publicity in
some instances would occasion. No one
but the teacher need know who is referred
to unless she is disposed to mention it
herself. For that We arc not responsible.

Nowadays, there is absolutely no ex-
cuse for mans not knowing how to
read aud write. Even in this day of
enlightenment, of general information,
Of common school advantages, there are
many men, many sensible, energetic men
who can not write their own names.
There is no excuse for it. 1t il a fact
that many honest, hard working farmers
still hold to the old custom of making
their marks when called upon to write
their names. Any thoughtful man can,
without losing any timo from his regular
work, in very short time, learn to read
and write sufficiently, at least, to sign his
own name when necessary. "Too much
work TO do" is no excuse. His neighbor
will teach him to read on Sundays if he
can spare no other time. He can not
spend Sundays moro profitably than in
trying 10 learn TO read.
