Its contents torn out,
And stript of its lettering and gilding)

That PROVIDENCE intends the profession
of reporters to have a mighty share in
the worlds redemption is suggested by
the fact that Paul and Christ took re-
porter along with them and he reported
their addresses and reported their acts.
Luke was a reporter and he wrote not
only the book of Luke but the Acts of
the Apostles, and without that reporters
work we would have known nothing Of
the Pentecost, and nothing Of Stephen s
martyrdom, and nothing of Tabitha' s
resurrection, and nothing of the jailing
and unjailing of Paul and Silas, and
nothing Of the shipwreck at Melita.
Strike out the reporters work from the
Bible and you kill g large part of the
New Testament, It makes me think
that in the future of the Kingdom oi
God the reporters are to bear mighty
part.
About thirteen years ago representa-,
tive of an important newspaper took his

SLEEP AS 4 MEDICINE.

The cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food, not
that it is more important, but it is
often harder to obtain. The best
rest comes from sound sleep. OF
two men or women, otherwise
equal, the one who sleeps the best
will be the most moral, healthy
and efficient. Sleep will do much
to cure irritability of temper,
peevishness and uneasiness. 1t
will restore to vigor an overwork-
ed brain. It viii build up and
make strong weary body. 1t
will cure headache. Indeed, we
might make long list of nervous
and other maladies that sleep will
cure. The cure of sleeplessness
requires a clean, good bed, sutfi-
cient exercise to produce weari-
ness, pleasant occupation, good
air, not too warm room, a clear
conscience and avoidance of stim-
ulants and narcotics. For those
who are overworked, haggard
and nervous, who pass sleep
less nights, we recommend the
adoption of such habits as shall
secure sleep; otherwise life will
be short, and what there is of it
sadly imperfect.-Nr'lic0l Times.

A BRAVE MAN.

When a famous man performs
a noble deed, the whole world is
sure to learn of it. We all know
the story Of Sir Philip Sydney,
who, when mortally wounded,
gave his glass of water to Il dying
soldier, saying: Thy necessity is
vet greater than mine.' In the
ordinary walks Of every day life,
one not infrequently hears Of
equally noble deeds. For exam
pie, a New York gentleman Of the
name of Simeon \. Bernheimer
died last Sunday, of whom it is
related that on one occasion when
everybody fed into terror from a
man stricken with smallpox, and
crying out for a drink of water,
Mr.. Bernheimer went to him and
assuaged his thirst, justifying his
act by saying: "What is my life
worth when compared with help
ing this poor fellow" Brave ac-
tions like this one make US feel
that the world is not quite so bud
as some pessimists would have US
believe.-Neac York: Epoch.

Teaching the Principles Of Government.

We firmly believe that our schools
are far from teaching the elements of
sound political and economical
principles as they ought. The school
is the safeguard of the republic, and
questions Of government and politi
cal economy must there be discussed?
1t is not safe 10 disregard these.
The child must not be allowed to
grow up and enter life with no knowl-
edge Of the bedrock principles upon
which sound government and pros
perity rest. He must not be left to
chance to gather these. Principles
are TOO sacred to admit of relega-
tion to obscurity. Object lessons
are, after all tue prime teachers.
Bring an objec: before pupils. call
tkeir attention to an sctusl.transpiring
event, and this attention is chained
in moment.
Take the assembly Of Congress.
This is most opportune occasion to
teach the fundamentals of political
science. Each teacher should size
the chance and arrange the school
programme to give time for this
work. Teach civics in every school.

A MONSTER SKELETON.
The Bones of a Gigantic Animal Dug
Up in Texas.

Cisco, Texa7, February S.-Ihe
largest skeleton ever heard of has
been discovered in this (Eastland)
County, and is now being exhumed
about twenty miles southeast OF
Cisco. A. O. McCroan, one of East
land County's farmers and highly
respected gentleman, came into town
this afternoon and brought two petrl-
fed teeth and portions of the skull
of skeleton that was discovered by
Archie Brown few days ago. The
teeth, which Mr.. McCroan placed on
exhibition at John I. Creech's drug
store, weigh s and l6 pounds respec-
lively, the lighter one being partly
decayed. Mr.. McCroan related the
following details in regard to the dis
covery and size Of the skeleton,
which were verified by several Of his
neighbors:
Archie Brown was travelling
through the woods near a creek,
when he discovered horn sticking
out the side Of the bank and tried to
pull it out, but could not. He COM
nenced digging, and finally reached
the head of the animal He found
the horn to be six feet long and
twelve inches in diameter, two feet
from the head. He then proceeded
% one of his neighbors, and they
went to work and examined the other
horn, the head, some Of the ribs and
the left foreleg Of the animal, which
was I feet under hard clay. Its un,
der Jaw bone measured , feet 6
inches across and 3 feet in length.
The head from top to tip ofnose is
5 feet and is three feet between the
eyes. Its left foreleg bone, from the
knee Joint to the shoulder blade
Joint, is 5 feet and measures s inches
in diameter at the knee joint. The
other part Of the leg crumbled so that
it could not be measured.
The remaining part Of the skele
ton has not been uneartbed yet. but
strict guard is kept over it. John
T. Creech, Of this city, perfected an
arrangement this afternoon to have
the whole skeleton taken up at once
and brought to his drug store, where
he will have it put on exhibition.
Crowds 60 daily to see the skeleton.
Our most scientific men give 1t up
as a mystery, but the bones seem very
natural. Some suggest that 1t is the
skeleton of a mastodon, megaterlan,
fossil OK, or megalony, and lived
during the carboniterous age, but its
size and shape does not correspond
to any Of those animals. It's horns
and head resemble goats, and the
old farmers consider it the skeleton
of goat. If any scientist thinks he
can solve the mystery, give the name
of the animal, and tell in what aye
i, lived, our citizens will be obliged
fo- the information.

THE YELLOW RIVER IN CHINA.

The Hoang-Ho or Yellow river
in China, has become study and
is attracting universal attention.
The Hoang-Ho has for several
months past been laying waste a
vast and populous area Of the Chi
nese empire. The Chinese covet
the possession Of the rich lowlands
which it mandates, and for many
ages, in spite of periodical over
flows, they have swarmed and mul-
tiplied on the alluvial plain
through which the muddy Hoang-
Ho winds its tortuous course, so
that when at intervals that treach-
erous river bursts its laborlously
constructed dikes it numbers It's
victims not by thousands but by
millions.
The impracticability Of diking
big river carrying immense de.
posts is here illustrated, for if
anything could have been effected
by dikes the celestials would have
been happy long before now, says
the Philadelphia Press. With
patient pertinacity, untiring labor,
and no mean engineering skill,
they have been trying for 1000
wears to confne the Yellow river
within reasonable bounds. They
have built for the stream trough
from 800 to 500 miles long, mile
wide on the average, and allowing
for a swift stream Of water seven
ty feet deep; but for the ninth
time stream thirty miles wide
and ten feet deep, travelling at the
rate of twenty miles an hour, has
broken over the plain. Many
large towns, thousands Of villages
and leagues Of farm land were
submerged. Neither man nor
beast could escape a flood like this
pouring over a vast unbroken
plain. For two months and over,
the flood has continued, and it IS
estimated that fully 100000
Chinese have perished by it.
Citing the case of the Hoang-
Ho, the Press is reading lectures
to those men in and out of Con-
gress who would like to dixie the
Mississippi after the Chinese pat
tern.
For small foods these dikes
are an adequate protection, but at
intervals, shorter or longer re-
moved, there comes much great
er food of water than usual, and
at some point or other the artiti-
cial support yields to the tremend,
Gus pressure, and vast stretches Of
country are laid in ruin"

ARTHUR KIBLER, EDITOR.

There is one difficult question for
the teacher who has boys and girls
under his care, Of all ages and
of different dispositions. How to
treat them. Must they all be
dealt with alike ? Of course it is
conceded that 8 boys punishment
should in many cases be more severe
than that of a girl, but for slight Of
fences is the punishment, ifthere be
any, to be the same.
Suppose that whispering be against
the rules Of the school, and the rule
is broken by the older as we'll as the
younger pupils, what is to be done
about it? If the young pupil must
remain in school after dismissal,
must the old one, q girl of eighteen
years, do the same, or must she, on
account of her age, be permitted ito
90 free:" Will q severe rebuke an
swer?
We would be glad if some teacher
who has taught 8 mixed school
would tell US how to manage in cases
Of the above kind.

We continue to edit the column
although the time for which We were
selected to serve has expired. We
do not not feel responsible any
longer for the appearance of the col
umn in each weeks paper. Within
the past three or four months we
have not received a half dozen ar
ticles from the teachers, and only one
has given US apy information in re-
gard to his school. For thisreason we
cannot give any school news.
Being in the school-room during
the entire week. we cannot hear any
thing to tell. In the future let every
teacher write occasionally something
about his school, and we will gladly
publish it.

Review, Review. should be the
watchword of every school. How
often should these reviews he had,
and in what way should they be con-
Quoted? Should the children be
carried over the same pages once In
two OF three months This is the
method pursued by some teachers.
1t is to be doubted, however, whether
it is the best way. A general review
should be bad once in two or three
weeks, only the most important sub
jects being poticed, however.
The teacher himself should re.
view the book, and be able to ask
the necessary questions. Children
should not 60 over the same page
too often. 1t is discouraging to
them.
