THE NORMAL SCHOOL MAN
AGEMENT

1t is not enough to have ability
and educational capacity to be a
good teacher. Indeed moral ex-
cellence is not absolutely essen-
tial but for the most part necessa--
ry. Abundant fair dealing,
impartiality and the power to in
spire pupils under ones control 60
farther towards forming moral
teacher than any other requisite.
Of course there is no objection to
good, sound educational ability.
There is no objection to informa-
tion about all conceivable subjects.
But it Is better to have less of
both and more of a spirit to ben
eft the pupils of the community.
There is conspicuous lack of
missionary spirit.
The mighty dollar ia preemi-
nent. There can be heard in
many quarters, complaints against
the head of the Miner school, but
whether they are true or not we
are unable to say positively. Open
communications have been filed
and published to the effect that
there are gross illtreatmeuts on
the part of the lady in charge,
towards many of her pupils. The
first complaint, to be more explicit,
consists in her method of mark
ing. If the criticism be just, her
actions are of a very serious nature.
The marking system has it's good
and bad effects. Without enter
ing into a discussion of this sys-
tenn il is clearly manifest that
when it is in adoption, it should
be carried out to the very letter.
No one, it does not matter how
strong and coherent his memory,
nor how many systems of mDe-
monies he has mastered, can car.
ry in his mind for one year or one
month without injury to some
one, the daily averages of thirty
or forty persons. However much
time is taken away from recita-
lions in marking it should be done

church Sunday last at z o'clock.
Rev. Bishop johnson delivered an
eloquent tribute to the memory
of the deceased. Rev. j. 81.
Daily preached an impressive SER
mon upon the life and character
of the young man and the wonder
ful effect Of death upon the con-
sciousness of men. Many letters
of condonement were sent to the
bereaved family, and floral tributes
were profuse and elegant. The
whole service aside from the
natural pathos which death always
occasions was a source of eonsola-
ton to the family ard friends.

WHERE TO 60. YOUNG PEO-
PIE ANXIOUS TO KNOW.

Where shall a young man 60 ?
Why, anywhere if he pe the right
kind of a fellow Yet scores of
graduates every year are at a lost
to know where he shall take root.
Questions have been put to me as to
the best place to locate. Before
answering, the inquiry is made
as to who the person is. Is he
willing to pull off his coat, spit On
his hands and take hold? Is he
able to do anything? Is he
willing to sacrifice his personal
pleasures? Is he able to adapt
himself to the times? If all these
questions are answered affirma-
lively he can swim in any water.
But as general proposition boys
can rise better and faster away
from the paternal roof. Society
little cares for her immediate sons.
Wherever a boy has grown up
successful man at his home and
takes high rank, it is due to his
fathers or friends influences, who
themselves are firmly established.
But to us such fortunes do not
flow. When we look On the
number of young men holding
responsible positions around US
invariably it is found that nine
tenths of them are foreigners.
Either they have gone elsewhere
to be educated and returned or
that in the first instance they come
from another city. 1t is not
because home talent does not
abound, but because there is too
much familiarity with 1t. A bad
boy grown into a careful and
painstaking man never losses
from his clothes the scent of his
mischievousness. He never gets
rid of his nick name. He never
cures his old failings nor amends
the insults he once gave. But let
him go away. Why he instantly
transcends all embarassments. [
said it depends upon the man or
the woman. For she too has
difficulties and is fast becoming
moulder and framer of human
action. She is earning her dollar
and a half a day the same as her
brother. She is dependent upon
herself, just like those folks who
adorn themselves in male attire
and plug hats. She is fast pulling
up the stobs of affection and
planting the prickly vines of
womanIy independence. Let her

to grow beneath perennial SHOWS

The same plants grow under a

hexibility Of stalk and the indif-
ference to temperature that make
these plants flourish. There are
other vines that grow only around

Theatrical Simplicity.

The following very curious notes of tho scenery and properties deemed necessary at the Royal theatre in Paris in l6s5 will give an idea of how little attention was paid to scenic effects. For the production of "Les Horaces," by F. Corneille, 'a palace of any kind in the first act; armchair in tho sec ond act: two armchairs, two stools ard n biz. chair for the king in the last act" For An droEiaque," all that is needed is a ''palace with cokImns; in the background the sea" For ''Le Misanthrope," of Mcliere, s'any kind of chamber, six chairs and two candlesticks. The same will do for 'Tartufe.'" In England things were a little better, for in 1D4a Mir. Tom Coryate, ''the leg stretcher,' writing from Venice, says: ''The house here is beg garly and base in comparison with our statc- ly houses in London. Neither can their act ors compare with ours in apparel, show and music" There were eight theatres in London in the reign of Charles II, and Punch's play house, in Coyens garden, gave exceedingly elaborate performances, if we may judsye from the following bill for the night of July $. l664, ,when the t'FaIl Of Man. was produced with variety of scenes and machines, par ticularly the scene of paradise in its ancient inhabitants, the subtlety of tho serpent in be.raying Adam and Eve, etc, with a varie- ty of diverting interludes, too many 10 bo inserted here.

NO BREAK IN THE STRIKE.
The Situation Growing More Alarminc
 Day by Day.

Day by Day.
 READING, Pa., Jan. 1S.-The leaders of the striking coal miners and discharged railroad CTS are preparing to give the Reading com pany as much trouble as possible Messrs. Sharkey, Lee, Bennett and other leaders of the trainmen have been sent to the coal regions, and are now wis iting the various assemblies There have been not more than fifty cars of coal brought down the main line of the road since last Friday, and these were principally con- signed to the furnaces. The situation is grow ing more alarming daily, particularly in this city and larger towns along the line. There is little coal in Reading to-day, probably not more than 1000 tons all told. At Columbia and Lancaster the supply of coal is extremely short, and prices have gone up s1 to s2 per ton, and some of the yards are entirely out of the smaller or domestic sizes
 The joint committee of city councils and the board of trade sent a memorial to President Corbin yesterday. They disclaim any desire to dictate to the railroad company, but re spectfully ask that the trouble between the company and its striking employees be settled by arbitration. They, speak of the fearful consequences of a prolonged strike, and say that arrogant rules should not be laid down to the employees by discourteous officials.

Presence of Mud and Prompt Action
 Averts a Terrible Calamity.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-A terrible calamity was averted Monday night by the presence of mind of street car driver. As a street car, hlled with passengers, was approaching the Stewart avenue railroad crossing the conduc- tor ran ahead to see that no trains were approaching. A cloud of snow impaired the conductors view, and he failed to observe the south bound Wabash express. which came laundering down at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The driver and conductor saw the danger at the same time The train was not 100 feet dis tant, and the stop meant sure death to all on the car. Grasping the switch iron, the driver hit the horses and they sprang forward The train struck the car, smashing one end, and throwing the passengers into the snow. Fortu- nately the locomotive did not strike the center of the car, and the force of the shock fell on the rear platform, so that the wrecked car and its occupants were hurled far to one side instead of in the path of the train. Fully one half of the passengers lay bruised in inc snow, but not one was badly hurt.

OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.

 Aid to Ocean Commerce..

Aid to Ocean Commerce.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The sessions of the American Shipping League convention yes terday were devoted to addresses from num- Der of delegates from different states, who urged congressional aid to our shipping ill., terests to enable them to recover from the blow given them by the civil war. Capt. Samuel Watts, ship builder, of Boston, spoke of the difficulty experienced by American shippers ill competing with shippers in other countries where the governments subsidized the ships Aid from congress, and that only, he said, would restore American shipping. Dr. Fuller, president of the board of trade of Bath, Me. ex-Governor Parham and Capt. Goss, of Maine, urged the necessity and inn portance to the government ill time of peace, and especially in time of war, of maintaining and assisting our merchant marine.
 The veteran ship builder, William H. Webb, of New York, said that the commer cial interests of the country needed the resto- ration of the merchant marine. He thought that ill the attempt now being made by the government to build a navy they were begin ming at the wrong end. There must be sail ors who are made by the mercantile marine. He spoke of the services of the merchant yes seiS i'll the late war, and said that if it had not been for this aid the country would have been divided. The government experienced trouble ill having the naval vessels built be- cause there were but few shipbuilders at the present time. Speaking of subsidies, he said that there was greater reason for ship owner to be paid for carrying the mails than that the railroads should be paid for that service
