The Practical in Education.

In these days when the professional
''educationalist' is epidemic, and edu-
cational method-mongerss are wrang-
ling over the petty details of school dis
cipline, it is refreshing to record any
suggestion that reveals insight into the
demands imperatively made upon our
schools for young men by the exigences
OF active life. These demands grow
more imperative as work becomes more
and more necessity. The poor must
work to get money, the rich to hold it.
In the course of verv excellent report,
Mr.. Z. c. Carrigan, of the Massachusetts
State Board of Education, says:
"Ihere are many subjects taught in
high schools and colleges that might
well be dropped for such a practical sub
ject as shorthand, working knowledge
of which is of advantage in every call.
ing The great and growing demand
for the business shorthand amanuensis
has created market for talented youth,
and the results of the work in our own
school are ample proof of the wisdom OF
the committee in adding this subject tc
the curriculum. The ability to write
well has put many a bright young man
from the counting-room into the cor
poration, as is the case with one of the
Vice Presidents of the Pennsylvania
Road. The confidential relation which
the amanuensis has to his employer
gives him every advantage, and there is
no doubt that if less time was devoted
to the acquiring of smattering of the
sciences and the ever unsatisfactory
knowledge of Greek and Latin. especi-
ally by those who pursue them but for
year or two, and these hours were de-
voted to something for everyday use.

while the individual would be much

A Woman's Queer Freak.

There is a woman in Middletown,
trainmen on. the Erie railway say, who
is doomed sooner or later to be crushed
to death under the wheels of some loco
motive unless her friends or the police
authorities interfere with her reckless
ness. She is one of great number of
people who obtain their supplies of fuel
by picking up waste coal from the rail-
road track. She is generally seen pick
ing up coal ut the Genung street cross
ing in Middletown. Every day she
subjects the nerves of some engineer to
a terrible strain. She persists in re-
manning on the track, quietly and I'M
concernedly picking coal, until the loco
motive is almost upon her, when she
steps to one side as if she were merely
turning out of the way of a pedestrian
instead OF a railroad train going ut high
speed
Engineers have got so they are on the
lookout for her as they approach the
crossing. As soon rs they see her they
sound the alarm whistle in the most
blood-curdling manner. but she simply
looks up, as if measuring the distance
between her and the advancing train,
and the probable time it will consume
in reaching her, and then coolly resumes
her coal-picking until the engine is
within two or three feet of her. when
she steps from in front of it.
The engineer of the Pine Island milk
train says the pilot of his engine actually
struck the skirt of her dress the other
day. He says he could not have felt
mora broken nm for the dav If no n IA
actually killed her. The engineers de-
clare that something must be done to
keep the woman off the track. or they
will never have any peace of mind

should be made as with the other
plants. Productiveness, maturity and
form are fully as important as size. All
plants intended to produce seed for an
other seasons crop should not only be
selected, but planted away from other
varieties. Sweet corn growing in the
neighborhood of field corn will be
ruined for seed the succeeding year.
A cold, damp soil, with hard, i'm
pervious subsoil, is not suitable for
garden, and before it can be properly
utilized should be well drained For
garden purposes, if a tile drain has
been laid, the trenching system is the
best for such soils. ANY method that
permits it to rid itself of surplus moist
ure, and allows the air and heat to en-
ter, will be beneficial.
Vegetable matter in the soil is abso-
lutely essential to the growth of the
highest order of vegetation. Where
this is wanting commercial manures
may be added to any quantity with no
appreciable result in benefiting crops
But supply the needed organic matter
and the growth will surprise you. The
object of fertilization is to insure an
abundance of elements going to form
vegetation.
The advice to orchardists to build fires
or hang open lanterns in their planta-
tons that insects may be destroyed in
the flame crops up perennially, says the
Michigan Farmer. The use of lighted
lamps in orchards has frequently result
ed in capturing large numbers, but
examination showed that but few nox-
ious insects were trapped in this way,
most of those caught being either harm
less sorts or those which are useful in
preying on others.
A sprinkling of weak brine every time
any grass appears will easily keep it
down. This may be applied with
common watering-pot When grass
comes up in the creyices of flag walks.
salt in the grain may be applied to kill
it. If quack grass or thistle roots have
protruded under walks or pavements,
one may as well treat thoroughly with
strong brine or grain salt on the surface
to eradicate it; but care must be taken
not to have these remedies come within
foot of the grass verges, or these will
be hurt and turn to an ugly brown,
thus making bad matters decidedly
worse.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO, July II, 1886.

The leading grain markets show a
little less activity and outside markets
show falling Off Foreign markets are
easy, while Eastern markets are quiet
end weak. Wheat is active but very
unsettled, and prices show slight de-
cline. Liberal receipts also helped to
weaken the market. The corn market
is moderatiyely active, but with prices
about the same. In oats and provisions
there is perceptible slackening of the
lively interest lately shown Rye and
barley are quiet and dull Seeds are ac-
tive and stronger. Butter and cheese
firm and active. Green fruits, berries
and vegetables sell we'll with good de-
mand. Veal is in large supply and
weaker Hides are in good request and
firm. The cattle market is over-run
with fresh arrivals, the largest for sew
eral months, which caused the general
market to weaken 15c lower on an
average. Light receipts and brisk
local and outside demand causes
stronger feeling in the hog market and
prices are 10 to 15c higher. Sheep are
10 to 25c higher than week ago, with
good lively demand.

CLEARFTELD TWP, Nov. D. SO.
Editor FREEMAN.-In your issue of
October % you state that Mr.. Joseph Bearer
drained his carp pond for the purpose of
examining his fish, etc. the result of which
was less than might have been expected.
Taking Mr. Bearers fish as an average of
the growth carp will make, their culture
would hardly justify much of an outlay.
My own experience of one year, however,
is so marked as compared with that of Mr..
Bearer, that 1 venture to give it with the
names of seversl of nv neiebbors who saw
tho fish.
1 received twenty carp. two inches in
length, last November, ard put them in my
pond, shortly after which the pond was
frozen over, and so remained until Spring.
did not see any of the fish until after har-
vest, and consequently made no effort to
feed them as l believed they were all dead.
Judge then of my surprise when on going
to the pond. In August l saw a fish After
some trouble l succeeded in catching four,
the smallest being ten and halt and The
largest twelve inches in length and four
inches broad. Out of the twenty placed in
the pond eight remain.
as HOu may lbOh Ol blllS obhb6m6nI as

d. g. Ryan, E. Krise, John Cooper, Fran
els Hoover, Joseph Behe, Esq, Joseph A.

will vouch for the truth of the above
Allow me to add that think every farmer
should build ponds and stock them with
carp.
OF the above named gentlemen ID. G.
Ryan, E Krise, John Behe and Joseph A.
Yahner have commenced the erection of
ponds.
1 have no doubt that ten years hence
every farmer in Clealfeld township will
have ponds full of carp.
Mr.. S. j. Luther, of White township
stocked pond the same time did. He in.
formed me few days ago that his fish were
as large as mine.
