Sundry Hints.

Try COW peas for the COW pasture.
Leave the chicks to the hen while
hatching.
Better stick while yet to your f1an-
nel shirt.
l,aise some mangels for the fowls next
winter.
Give parsley to pigs, not fowls, says
The Fancier's Review.
4 poor crop is often due to late SOW
ing on poorly-prepared land.
It's the early-hatched chickens make
the fall and winter laying pullets.
No more profitable small fruit than
the currant. 1t takes a strong soil and a
cool exposure.
Stickability, says The Farmer at
Work, is the most important ability a
farmer can possess.
4 clean and lively hide has much to
do with making a lively team. Use the
brush and comb.
Col. Curtis says clover is the best
forage plant for young animals. 1t
makes more perfect body than any
other food.
Shallow, level cultivation is best for
melons. Cultivate as long as the work
can be done without disturbing the
vines.
Very little if any is gained in the
early maturing of crops by plowing be-
fore the soil becomes dry and friable
undcs the harrow.

Too Short for the Money.

The value of an operation is not de-
termined by the length of time it re-
quires, but here is an innocent old lady
who like so many other persons, sup
posed it was:
She called on photographer to have
cabinet portrait taken. When the
artist removed the plate, he told her
she need not sit any longer. On COM
ing out from the dark room be found
her still bolt upright in the chair, with
that look of petrified despair on her
face peculiar to the Photographic pose.
"You needn't sit there any longer":'
said the frightened artist.
"What's that?" she hoarsely whis-
pered, without changing muscle.
II say, YOU needn't sit there now-1
have finished," he explained.
"Ain't I to pay you three-and-siN-
pence??" she interrogated, in the same
gurgling tone, with her eye strained on
the mark.
YES
"Well, then, do you mean to say Pm
to give you three-and-sixpence for only
five minutes in the chair' I'll have a
full ten minutes for the money, an
that's little enough in all consciencev'
And she had it.

The question as to how much assist
ance the teacher should give the pupil
in the preparation of lessons Is often
perplexing one. Pupils will ask for
assistance in working examples in
Arithmetic, in locating places on the
map, in translating sentences, &c. The
danger seems to Us to be in the two
extremes, giving either too much or too
little aid. The former leads the pupil
to depend on the teacher to solve all
difficulties, real or imaginary, thus de-
stroying all ambition to master difficult
ties ;:naided, and leaving undeveloped
those traits of independence and self
reliance, so essential to success in any
undertaking in life. Pupils who have
never been required to depend upon
themselves in the preparation of their
lessons, will be untitled, on leaving
school, to prosecute any course of pri-
vate study with advantage, for they
will not be prepared by previous train
ing to cope unaided with difficulties.
Thus the great object Of schooling is
defeated. For if we rightly understand
it. the aim ofschools is not so much to
impart complete education, for that is
nanifestly impossible, as by philoso-
phical and systematic course of train
ing to develop the faculties of the mind,
and inculcate. such habits Of thought
and study as will enable the student to
use his powers to the best advantage in
whatever line Of investigation he may
wish to engagein after life.
The other extreme, that Of giving too
little assistance, is less common, we
think, and likewise less pernicious in
its results. If, however, help is not
given when really needed, the pupil
will become discouraged and soon lose
interest in study.
We conclude then that assistance
should be given at times, but let it be
given judiciously and only when re-
ally necessary. The teachers main
business is to show pupils how to help
themselves, and to encourage them by
all legitimate means to depend upon
their own efforts.
Other things being equal, we consider
Il a. teacher the most efficient, who
succeeds in getting his pupils to do the
greatest amount Of hard, unremitting,
independent studying. This is the
thought-a-wakening power-developins
process. Would that it were more COM
mon.

Husbands and Wives.

would bc to ascertain the causes of all
these conjugal difficulties. Although

EDITORS CONSTITUTION: Give q
short sketch of the life of DR.. T. De
Witt Talnagc.
Thomas Dc Witt Talmagc, the ce!e-
bratcd clergyman. WAS born i'll Bound-
brook, y. j. january @th, 1882. In
lS5S he graduated from New York uni
vcrSity, three years later he graduated
from the New Brunswick n. j.
Thcolorical seminary, and Immediately
after WIS ordained as pastor of the
Reformed Dutch church in BclIcvillc,
y. J. From 1850 to lN'i2 he WIS lnaSt0r
of the Reformed Dutch church in
PhiIudclphia. In 1850 nc became pas
tor of the Central Presbyterian church
in Brooklyn. where he still! remains.
The following year his congregation
erected Il new church capable Of seating
300 persons. This building was de-
stroycd by fire December 22d, 1879. On
February 2:2:,d, :, new church was dcdi-
Gated known rs the Brooklyn tabcr-
nacle, built in gothic style Of brick,
scmi-circular in form and seating five
thousand persons, the largest Protest.
ant church in America. In 1877 he
organized, in the luillin% formerly oc-
cupied bv the church, 4 lady college
for religious training, open to persons
of all denominations. Mr.. Talmage is
the most popular preacher in America,
probably in the world. His sermons
are reported in full, and almost every
dailv paper in the union furnishes its
readers with them the following morn
ing. He has been editor Of Il Christian
newspaper since 1874, besides publishing
several volumes of his sermons. He
POSSESSES wonderfully graphic style,
bordering almost on the sensational.
His delivery is free and easy, his Ian
ruaoe is choice. His command OF Ian
gllage is marvellous, never haltlng Tor
a word. He is 4 tircleSS worker, both
as preacher, pastor, Il lecturer and
editor. His home life is beautiful and
simple.

MRS. CLEyELAND'S PONIES.
How the presipent Came to Buy the Little
Browns.
PHILADELPHIA North American. !

philadelphia North American.
The President has so far relented from
his original determination as to buy for
his wife a pretty phaeton, with seat
behind for the groom, and Il pair of
small brown horses for her exclusive
use, and thereby hangs tale. a man
in Richmond wrote Il pathetic letter to
the President not long since, which by
some inadvertencc on the part OF the
wise ''private secretary" fell into his
own hands. In it the man went on to
say that he had married young and
beautiful girl three months before, and
fought for her, with many fond antic-
ipations, a pair Of horses, for which
he had searched the south over, and
she drove them for few short weeks,
and then, on returning from Il drive
one afternoon, died suddenly in
his arms from heart disease. He
could not bear to see these reminders
of a happy past any more, and
Mrs. Cleveland was the only wo-
man into whose hands he was will
inc to have them fall. He concluded
by saying that he was too poor to give
them to her, but he wanted her to have
these treasures of his pretty dead wife.
The President, without having seen
the horses at all, telegraphed to have
them sent on, and in letter following
enclosed check for them. They came,
saw and conquered at once, as they are
pretty, gentle little animals, and smiling
peace reigns everywhere.

Napoleon As a Novel Reader.
rFrOm the Book Buyer.

Napoleon was a greedy novel reaecr.
Andrew Lang, the cssaylst, says he was
one of the most voraciollS readers OF
novels that ever lived. He was always
asking for the newest Of the new, ana,
unfortunately, even the new romances
of his period were hopelessly bad. Bar
bier, his librarion, had orders to send
parcels of fresh fiction to his majesty
wherever he may happen to be, and
great loads of ofnovels followed Napoleon
to Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia. The
conqueror was very hard to please. He
read in his travelling carriage, and after
skimming a few pages would throw a
volume that bored him out of the viii
dow into the highway. He might have
been tracked by his trial Of romanccs.

Messrs. CHM & Co., Boston, have
recently added to their long list of eN-
cellent textbooks, two new works
which deserve large share of popular
favor. The one is entitled Leading
Facts in English History The chief
merit Of this book is that it gives the
reader a clear insight into the life of the
English people, social, intellectual, and
political. The intrigues of camp and
court, and the minute details Of wars,
so prominent in too many works on
history, are strikingly absent from this
book. The Author, Prof. D. II. Mont
gomcry, has brought to his task the
happy facility of expressing himself in
a simple and lucid style, which adds
much to the charm of the work.
The other volume is called "The Be
ginner's Latin Book" This work Is
based upon the theory, now generally
accepted, that knowledge of Latin
can be obtained more readily and pleas
antly by the translation Of practical
examples from the outset, than by
a tedious preliminary course IN the
committing of rules; or as the Authors
express it, by the maximum Of prac-
tice with the minimum of theory"
The book is for live teachers, and IN
the hands of such it will prove an
excellent textbook for the first years
study in Latin.

Rapid and accurate work in the four
fundamental rules of Arithmetic is of
such importance and so useful in busl-
ness affairs that we would urge teach
ers to drill their elementary classes
thoroughly in the application Of these
rules. Beginning with addition, let the
class be drilled orally to add rapidly,
small numbers of one diget, as ? and 3,
4and I, &C., gradually increasing the
examples in difficulty. The habit
which some pupils have, of counting
the fingers, or making dots, to aid them
in adding, should be discouraged.
Pupils can be trained at an early age to
add without such assistance, and the
sooner this is done the better. After the
class understands subtraction, the two
processes can be combined in the drill,
and so on until the four fundamental
processes are included.
Exercises of this kind can be made
very instructing, especially where the
"hopping" system is in vogue. Let the
teacher dictate orally such examples as
5x9- -6x7-4x1o, &c, adopting them to
the ability of the class, and allow the
one who is able to answer correctly to go
up head. Such exercises can accompany
each recitation in written Arithmetic,
and need not occupy much time. We
know of teacher who used to dismiss
his class by giving out such combina-
tions as the above and dismissing the
one who answered first, after which
another example was given out, and so
on till all had answered one correctly
and were dismissed. Of course no one
wanted to be the last to leave the class.
