provided everywhere in sufficient
number to take the place Of the
wasteful and antiquated system of APP
premiership in the several trades and
occupations. am very earnest in the
belief that natural science should be
taught in oral lessons from the very
first year of the school. One lesson u
week, if a long lesson, is sufficient.
knowledge of natural science is of
universal application to all human em-
ployments that deal with the conquest
of nature. While manual training Is
useful to few, a knowledge of natural
science is useful to all, and this both
in business and in culture. l think,
too, that there should be one lesson
each week in general history, given
in all the grades of schools, like nat
ural science, orally. 1t leads to the
habit Of looking at humanity, while
natural science leads to the observa-
ton of physical nature.
/ omit here, for want of room, all
discussion Of the subject of moral ed
ueation in schools, saying only that
find such education in the discipline
of any good school which, without too
much talk about the subject, insists
upon habits of regularity, punctuality,
silence, industry, self-control, cour-
tesy, neatness and'truthfulness.

CURIOUS WAR RELIC.
An old Lenther wallet That Contains
Some Historic Documents.


Some Historic Documents.
A reporter of the Columbus, Geor-
gia, San was shown relic Of the late
war yesterday. 1t was a musty, hand
made leather wallet the nroperty of
T ia.,cis M. Bagley, who was mem
Der of Company II, Twenty-eighth
Georgia battalion. When Mr.. Bag
ley returned from the war he de-
posted his wallet in the bottom of
his trunk, where it remained until he
saw it by chance yesterday, and
brought it to he.stone. The wallet
contained some interesting war docu-
ments, which forcibly recall those
awful, yet glorious days of strife.
The papers were musty and discolored
with age. One of them bore stains of
blood.
Two of the papers were furloughs,
for sixty days each, signed by Csr!isle
Terry, senior surgeon OF examiners.
DIR. Terry is pcw resident physician.
Another was descriptive list and
account Of pay and clothing" Under
the head of remarks was jotted down:
HAS drawn one jacket, one pants,
one shirt, one pair Of drawers, one
cap, one pair of socks.p Across the
back of this document the following
entry was written; "Paid at Column
bus, Ga, November %, 1864, four
months pay, less five days, to April
80, 1864, $42.53. A. B. Ragan, major
and paymaster."
Another curiosity was q sheet of
uncut five-cent pieces, printed on
ordinary newspaper. The fac-simile
of one of these is given below.

ANOTHER SUMMER.

When shall see another summer
OF peaceful quiet meath the dear old
trees;
Dreaming in listless, sweet indifference,
As drones might do among the busy
bees.
Another SIMMER where deep forest glades
The fragrant aroma OF heaven distil,
And nature sharmony of foh0rdsdivine,
Gould all the old-time memories thrill.
Another golden, glad'time summer,
When, happy as ~ child at play,
In cloyer-sGented meadows where the bob
o-link -N
Warbled his sweet notes the liye-long
day mn
All me how many times eaoh summer,
we grown7up children turn aud sigh,
And gaze with tender recollection Ifr
Where treasured hopes now buried lie,
The summers pass, and still unceasng,
With sanguine hope we watch and wait.
For dawn Of oneday like the olden,
Een though its coming be 80 late.

Soon ] shall see another summer,
And rest profound whore wood and

Sing their sweet tlullRbiesaboy my pillow
And none shall wake me from my

had never been on n horse until
she took her first lesson from Mrs.
Middleton some time before the for
NAL opening of the school. Miss
Carlisle has no fear of her horse,
handles him like veteran, and has
even tried leaping. She wears n
green cloth habit, neat patent leather
boots, while silk hat rests jauntily
on her short dark hair.
Miss Cox, daughter Of Judge Cox,
is trying TO overcome her timidity
sufficiently TO venture on the road.
Senator Sabin is renewing his ac-
quaintance with the saddle, after a

companied by his little proteges DIR.
J. o. Stanton has been taking morn

Professor Alex. Graham Bells little
daughter is learning, and looks lust as
cute as can be on her pony. Quite n
number Of little ones enjoy their
pony rides around the ring.
The correct riding costume is the
silk hat, small veil, tailor-made habit,
with short skirt and trousers, boots,
soft loose gloves, linen collar and
cuffs and crop. The hair should be
done up as firmly as possible and with
the least number of hairpins possible.
A real swell habit costs from $75 to
1926. The jacket is made very close
fitting, extends about an inch below
the waist line in front and has fat
postillion back. The neck is finished
with high, close collar, or with
small lapels that turn back, and with
which are worn linen collar and tie,
producing an effect that is decidedly
fetching. The skirt is about foot
longer than the ordinary walking
skirt, when on the horse, and is fitted
to a lady while mounted on stuffed
horse in a tailor shop. 1t is made
with fullness over the right knee,
and sort Of a pocket under it for the
pommel. This fullness can be looped
up to q button on the tail of the
Jacket leaving the skirt of ordinary
walking length when the lady is on
the ground. The trousers are close
fitting, cut like mans, but little
fuller across the hips. They ore
fastened under the foot by II strap.
Where q very close fit is desired they
are made of stockinet of the same
shade as the habit. Sometimes short
breeches, buttoned over the knee, are
worn and with these go nobby little
boots Of patent leather. There
should be nothing worn under the
habit but close-fitting suit of wovin
underwear and corset, of course.

II is said that the real truth of the
matter was that the artist and the
architect have an entirely different
reason for their embarrassment. Not
long after Brumidfs death messen-
ger was sent to his widow to borrow
the original design for the use Of the
Library Committee. While the de-
sign was in the hands of the com
mittee some one made a copy of it,
but did not complete it, so that two
panels in Burmidps original concep-
tion, il this report is true, will have
to be composed from memory. Young
Brumidi threatens to bring out all the
facts in connection with the case
and make hot fight for what
he thinks is his own. He is
% years Of age, and is a teacher Of
drawing in female academy in In
dependence, Kan. IL was his ambi-
tion TO become an artist, and he spent
several years studying in Rome after
his fathers death, but his means soon
becoming exhausted, he has had to
earn his living by hard work. Bru-
midi's widow, who was the model of
his famous figure Of Freedom in the
NdhOIl liNhNp biAt NOuAt vi bitt NAsB-
itol, Is living in Washington, and sup
ports herself by keeping boarders.
She is still n woman of well-preseryed

His recall will not be long delayed,

are that the genial old Bergen County

guaee itself resents. The mind ex-
presses in language its acts whatever
they are--feelings, perceptions, vo-
litions. The grammatical structure
of language reveals the logical con
stitution of the mind. Grammar is
the introduction 20 psychology and to
all philosophy. The uncultured hui
man consciousness lives, but does not
know its living; it has very little self
knowledge. The window of the soul
that looks out upon the structure of
language lets in flood of light for
the explanation of all problems which
human experience can enunciate.
The operations of grammar, as con-
Quoted in school, seem trivial and cir
cumscribed in their bearing. The
mind, however, always retains from
its grammatical discipline q certain
power to unfix its gaze from the
stream Of phenomena before it, and to
concentrate its attention on the form
Of the phenomenon as whole.
BY grammatical training it learns
to see its own processes, to
make careful determinations, to de-
fine logically, to lay out work and

LITERATURE,
BY literature as school study !
mean to designate those parts and
portions of poetry and prose works of
art that get into the school reading
books, as well as those more ex-
tended or complete works of art that
are taken up in the higher education,
and include, besides English litera-
ture, the literature of.other languages.
1t is not necessary here to show in
detail that the study of literature is
the most important of all the school
studies named heretofore, aud that it
opens the window that gives the
pupil most enlightenment regarding
human nature and the conduct of life.
Even the literature of the school
readers, fragmentary as it is, consists
of gems of Xpression-spark
as il were, struck out at a
white heat of artistic fervor

THE HIGHER NocABuLARlES.
The second stage Of language study
/ have spoken of as the requirement of
higher vocabulaies. The family edu-
cation in language gives what is called
the colloquial vocabulary. The
schools greatest work is to help the
pupil to acquire the higher special
vocabularies of language used in liter
ature and other departments of human
learning. The eolloquial language
does not suffice for elevated thour''

A Terrible Experience.

The Ccntreville (Md.) Record says; "Mr.
John Powell, who recently died ofparaly-
sis, at Ingleside, Queen Anne County,
had terrible experience few days be-
fore his death. He discovered the floor of
the room which he occupied on fire, and
he i'm bed unable to rise or do anything to
prevent the flames from spreading, except
to feebly call for help. He became nearly
exhausted in his efforts TO make his dis
tressing cries heard by the other inmates
ofthe house, and just as he was about to
give up hope and resign himself to be
burnt alive, a neighbor came in and dis
covered the condition of affairs. The
room was filled with smoke almost TO
suflocation, az large hole burned in the
floor and the flames rapidly spreading.
The shock was so greatto the unfortunate
invalid that some hours elapsed before he
could narrate hs terrible experience dur
ing the trying ordeal of the probability of
being burned alive, Mr.. Powell died a
few days afterwards"

uH rabbit was poisoned by hypoderjnic
injections of rattlesnake poison several
times and after he became sick other in
jections of jaborandi were made and the
rabbit recovered. This was done several
times.and the rabbit recovered each time.
But dyspepsia or some other stomach

to do and he died several days ago.
Another interesting subject of expert
mentation was an ordinary hen. This
hen was poisoned by an injection of
Tattlesnake venom, became SO sick she
could not stand. and permanganate Of
potash tried as an antidote, aud the ex-
pertinent was entirely successful. The
hen recovered only to gothrough another
experiment with larger injection of the
venom, and after the antidote was
administered recovered again This was
done so many times, with constantly in
creasing doses of venom, that the hen
finally became so used to rattlesnake
poison that II had no effect on her, and
\ large enough doses were administered to
kill man in couple hours but did not
