new roofs could be put on, and no one
would miss the time. Why don't they
do it? 1t is a duty the parents owe to
their children and to themselves. In
some sections, the work has already been
done: all such communities have our
thanks and approval. 1t is useless to
talk of having better schools until we
have better houses. We do not mean
extravagant or costly, but comfortable
ones. We would call special attention
to the importance of furnishing better
seats for the children. 1t is no matter of
surprise that so many children become
disguised with school-lite, when we re-
member the severe test to which they are
put while trying to be orderly and stu
dious when forced TO set for hours upon
such benches as are provided for them.
Poor little things! No wonder they are
hump backed and almost deformed !
No wonder they learn to hate school and
all the ideas associated Herewith. In
some schools, the long, high, benches
have no backs. Men and fathers, have
mercy! We appeal to your sympathy.
We appeal to your affections. We ap'
peal to the tender feelings you have for
your little ones. Don't submit to this
thing any longer!

AS the time for the holding Of the
General Conference of the Southern
Methodist Church approaches, the news
papers are beginning to foreshadow the
action of the Conference in reference to
the election of new bishops. The gen.
eral opinion seems to be that the good of
the Church requires the election of four
new bishops, who shall be in the prime
of life and in robust health. Several
Western newspapers have published lists
of the prominent clergymen who are
spoken of in connection with the Epis-
copacy. The lists include the following
distinguished ministers: DR.. E. R.
Hendrix, Of Missouri; DR.. o. P. Fitz-
gerald, of California; DR.. R. A. Young,
of Tennessee; DR.. 7. G. Carter, of
Louisiana; DR.. N. II. D. Wilson, of
North Carolina; Drs. j. S. Key and w.
II. Potter, of Georgia; Drs. w. w. Ben.
nett and P. A. Peterson, of Virginia.
While none of these ministers are can
didates in the political sense of the word,
It's said that many friendly letters are
being passed between delegates to the
Conference and the leading clergymen.

Primary education consists in the de-
selopment of the power of attention; !;
Therefore the objects of.thought and at
ttention are matters of the highest i'm.
Sportance. The things presented must be
pure, good, and beautiful, for that to
which we attend comes into the heart,
and forms the basis of all our thinking
and imagination; "out of the heart the
mouth speaketh." Where shall we look
for the highest source of the good, the
tine. and the beautiful? To the thoughts
of God in nature. The study of nature
is the best and highest foundation for
morality, and preparation for the re-:
yealed truth that comes to the child later
in life. Compare the drill upon hiero-
glyphics, empty words, and meaningless
forms, with the observation OF trees,
flowers, animals, and the forms OF earth.
The one stimulates thought, and fills the
mind with ideas of beauty; the other
crowds the mind with useless, ugly forms
that cannot, from their very nature,
stimulate it to renewed action. A child's
mind. filled with that which is pure and
good. has no room for wickedness and
sin. The study of the natural sciences is
one OF the best meafsof bringing about
this result.-Practical Teacher.

A Secret Worth Millions.

Henry B. Courtney, the head Of The
diamond match company, died at his
home at Wilmington, DEL, on Thursday
after an illness of about three months. !
Mr.. Courtney was sixty-three- years old,
and came to this country from England
in 1858. He engaged in the match
manufacture with w. 81. Swift, and with
a capital of less than $50 built up the;
most extensive business in the line i'd
the United States. Mr.. Courtney
possessed the secret of preparing tho
compound ofwhich the matches are'made
and this he refused to give any one until
recently, when his physician told him he
could not recover. A son was then given
the formula under sworn promise of
secrecy not to make it known until age
or affiiction rendered it impossible for /.
him to perform the work ofcompoundingS
it. In that event the formula is to be !
given to another son under similar condi-
tions. Courtney for many years was the
only man in this country who understood
the business. He claimed that it made:
two English firms big fortunes while he
was in their employ, and it yielded him
an individual fortune of nearly FIVE mill.
ion dollars and his two partners nearly as
much. For long time the company
enjoyed complete monopoly of the
"Parlor Match" and the profits were
enormous. Although very wealthy, in
order to keep the preparation a secret, he
continued his daily work at the factory
until the fumes from the chemicals used
had so poisoned his system that, he was
no longer able to do the work. The
large estate will probably create consid.
erable litigation, as it is said there are
heirs-at.law iu England who will contest
with those in this country in the distri.
button of the estate.

Honey as a Medicine.

There can be no question as to the
value of honey for throat troubles. The
most famous and successful patent med
icine of the present day, for colds, coughs
and consumption, depends to some extent
upon honey as one of its soothing and
healing ingredients. A recent writer
makes no mistake in stating that while
honey is a welcome food, it is also claim.
ed to be medicine, or at least may be
employed as its vehicle. Those who
have never tried it will be surprised to
learn what relief spoonful of honey
will bring when one has worrying
cough, sore throat or bronchial irrita-
tion. tits said those who have suffered
intensely from asthma have found almost
instant relief ffem single teaspoonful
of warm honey.
A professor of medicine has declared
that honey disturbs the formation of
fungoid growths, and has therefore been
of great use as preventive of thrash in
babies. It is also claimed that an oint.
ment made of honey and -four is an ex.
cellent remedy for boils. The medical
authorities claim that its internal use
cannot.be too highly praised. By it's use
incipient coughs, colds and catarrh,
quinzy in its early stages and diphtheria
in its embryo stage are destroyed by it,
and also that it destroys bacteria and
goidgrowtb. When used continuous
ly for diseases of the palate, throat and
breathing organs, it is deemed infallible.
1t is believed that consumption and
stomach complaints would be greatly
hiudered by its use. Every family
should have a small quantity of pure
honey in the house to use in case of a
sudden cold.

'T Must Keep this Gate Shut.O

An English farmer saw number of.
huntsmen coming on horseback. he did
not want them to go over one of his
fields because the crop was in such a
condition that it would be injured, and
perhaps destroyed, by the tramp of the
horses. So, he put his hired boy at the
gate, and told him not to open it. On
came the hunters, and commanded him
to open the gate. He refused. They
offered him money. He would not take
it. Then noblelooking man rode up,
and said, "MY boy, l am the Duke of
Wellington, and I command you to open
the gate" The boy took his cap off and
said, "I am sure the Duke of Yelling
ton would not wish me to disobey orders.
I must keep this gate shut; no one is to
pass through but with my masters ex-
press permission" The Duke was
pleased, and lifting his hat said "I
honor the man or boy who can be neith-
er bribed nor frightened into doing
wrong. With an army of such soldiers l
could conquer not only the French, but
the world"

4 Deserted Wife Marrics Twice And
Returns To Her First Love.

Some time ago Rufus Warren Nye, of
Sodus, Wayne county, N. Y, married
Miss Olive Rose, of Sodus Center A
boy was born to them one year later, and
soon alterward the father in fit ofanger
over some domestic misunderstanding,
abandoned his family and went to Mich
igan. No one knew where he had gone,
and the suspision that be had been foully
dealt with spread itself through the com.
munity. Months passed by and yeals,
and still he did not return. Mrs. Nye
mourning him as dead, listened to the
suit of o Mr.. Hitler, who had courted her
previous to her marriage with Nye, and
in 1874, allowed him to lead her to the
altar. This second husband died two
years afterward, and the woman, in 1881,
again threw off her mourning weeds, and
was married to a man named Kerns,
with whom she lived happily until their
separation, few days ago.
Nye, meanwhile, instead of being dead
as his wife and all his other relatives
supposed, had been accumuIatiug for
tune in the logging business among the
wilds of Michigan. About two weeks
ago he took it into his head to indulge
himself in pleasure trip, aud bought a
ticket from East Saginaw to Suspension
Bridge and return. When he touched The
boundary of New York State the memory
of bygone days rose strong within him,
and he resolved to proceed as far as
Syracuse and hunt up his brother James,
who was living there at the time of his
departure. He arrived at that city only
to find that his brother had long ago
moved to Troy. He hurried on to that
place, and, after some difficulty, succeed
ed in finding James. He listened to his
brothers entreaties, and Saturday last
started with him for his old home in
Wayne county They reached Newark
late at night, and went to the house of
H. NJ. Fowler, a relative, with whom
Nye's son has been living for the last two
years. Next morning young Nye started
on horseback for Sodus, where, with the
exception of few months spent at Buf.
faIo, his mother had continued to live
since her first husbands disappearance
and told her that his father had return.
ed. That afternoon Sunday Mrs. Nye-
Hitler. Kcrns drove to Newark and met
the man she had so long thought dead.
A reconciliation took place. Mr. Nye
went to Sodus the next day and had an
interview with Mr.. Kerns, who recogniz
ed his priority of claim to the woman
and after disposing of his household ef-
fects to the new found husband, started
for Buffalo. Mr.. aud Mrs. Nye, with
their son, started next evening for East
Saginaw, where they intend to spend the
remainder of their lives.

We find we. have but few minutes in
which to prepare this for the press. Our
visit to the schools in few Townships
was in some respects gratifying. We
found some teachers doing good work,
others not doing much. Some schools
are running in old ruts, cutting them
deeper and deeper; others are graphing
new ideas, new methods, and pushing
them with commendable zeal. The great
want is better teachers and better houses.
We can have better teachers only through
the Teachers Association and the Teach
ers' Institute; we can have better houses
only through the efforts of the citizens
themselves. Many of the houses that

A Charming Little Story.

Several years ago resident of one of
the suburbs had the misfortune to be-
come totally blind, q cataract forming
over his, eyes. While IN this condition
his wife died. A young German girl,
whom the unfortunate man had never
seen, was very attentive 10 the wife in
her last illness, and, after her death, did
what she could to make the grief stricken
husband and his two little children as
comfortable as possible.
Such devotion did not 60 unrewarded.
The blind man proposed and was accept
ed. He married the faithful girl. Two
children were the result of their union.
During his years of blindness the sight
less man never lost hopes that some day
he might again look into the beauties of
nature and the loved ones around him.
A physician was finally consulted, who
agreed to attempt the removal of the
cataract. The operation was successful
and he from whom the light of day had
been shut out SO many years, saw again.
He was almost beside himself with joy.
A friend, who was at once recognized,
came, leading lady, by the hand.
"Do you know who this is?" he said
to the happy fellow.
"No, LIDO not"
"That is your wife," and then the
pair, one of whom had never seen the
other, fell into each others arms, and a
domestic scene of pathetic beauty en-.
sued.
The two children were also brought in
to their father. He clasped them to his
beating heart, and all the miseries of the
past were forgotten in the pleasure Of
that moment. This is a true story. The
actors in this life panorama, covering a
period of ten years, are all alive. The
husband seems as we'll as he ever did, and
is now in business in this city.-Cincin.

good friends and live for God and their
country, or will they not? Will the
government we live under stand sure
with its liberty and its blessings, and
protect our childrcn's children, or will
corruption and the love of mammon un.
dermine and destroy it, and our offsprings
become the prey and the slaves of
tyrants? God knoweth.
AS 1 looked around upon my mothers
offsprings and counted all, both present
aud absent, 1 ruminated over the posi-
bilities of population. 1t is a curious
problem. 1 have now in mind an aged
couple who still live to overlook and bless
more than one hundred and fifty descen-
dants. How it honors and digniies their
gray hair to look away back through
more than three score years of welded
life with its humble beginning across the
ocean, and now upon the four generations
that surround them here in their adopted
land. 1 have heard of a woman in
South Carolina who was married when
sixteen years of age, and had twelve
children, when she was thirty-6ve, and
died when she was one hundred and four,
and it was said that she had, when she
died, over one thousand descendants.
This was not only possible, but probable,
and if her children and those who came
after, were equally fruitful, the number
would have been three thousand, instead
of one. Almost any school boy can do
the sum. But such is not life as we find
it. If it were so, the world could not
long contain its people or give them
standing room. A thousand to one in
century is more than mother earth could
long sustain, and would soon precipitate
that new heaven aud new earth which
will surely come. The city of A is lively
and fast growing full. The city of B
takes little room for its people, and this
is well, for if the dead required as much
space as the living, the whole earth
would be a charnel house. If all the
millions who have died in the ages past
were given separate grave upon its
surface, it would be but step from one
to another now Ten feet square would
cover each one of them. The city of B
is good place to visit sometimes. Go
there alone or with friend, and CON-
mune with the dead, and ponder the ways
Of God to man. Go there sometimes and
learn the way and be familiar with the
place; for go we must, sooner or later,
and we should not 60 as strangers. 1t
costs nothing to go or stay.
"How costly is life. What countless expense
To temper the blood and comfort the sense,
And nourish the mind and chasten the breast,
And keep the heart ruled in its stormy unrest
But death unto all Is offered so cheap,
There's nothing to pay, save falling asleep,
Just closing the eyes and ceasing to weep"
