IL Was Very Quiet.

Every gentleman should attend gym
nasium and boxing school. The exercises
not only bring out the muscle, but give
one confidence in himself in case of
trouble. An example was noticed the
other day in an alley of Howard street
The owner Of a residence happened out in
the alley just as an ash gathercr was
stealing a barrel. He was read a brief
lecture and warned to move on. but he
didn't take kindly TO the advice.
What you need is good pounding
said the gentleman as he turned away.
And who'll give it to me-: shouted
ashes
The alley was deserted, and the gentle
man bcckOncd the man into the barn. He
was willing 70 go. Both pulled of their
coats. signifed that they were ready, and
then business began. The gent landed
two beautiful ones in rapid succession,
and then ashes changed his tactics. He
went in right and left, as if charging a
cornfeld, knocked the gent into a vacant
stall. stepped all over him for a few min
utes. and then picked him up and heaved
him into the oat bin and walked off. taking
the barrel with him.-Detroit Free Press.

Natural Method Of Education.

During the last generation there has
grown up a natural method Of education
whose superiority, 50 incontestable alb

tically and scientifically beyond all qucs-

write and cipher as he learns to use his
legs and his hands, or TO distinguish a
dog from a cat, or horse car from an ON
mbus BY it hc learns arithmetic rs a
ucwsboy learns how TO make change.

find his way home, and history as he re-
members the occurrences of his last va

Instead Of that method. taught 10y

schools by process which compels him TO
commit 70 memory and repeat parrot like
what TO him are mere meaningless words

in the school of his daily life. not under
