The Teachers Association on the 9th
ult. was decided success-made so by
the heartiness with which the teachers
present entered into the spirit of the
work. There was an enrolment OF
thirty-hve of the white teachers OF the
County, and every topic on the pro-
gramme was discussed with earnestness.
We are aware of the fact that many of
the teachers whose sympathies are
enlisted in this work could not be pres.
ent for the want of facilities for getting
here, and we greatly regret it, for they
miss great deal that would help them.
Several of the talks on Saturday were by
earnest, thoughtful men and women who
are professional teachers, and have 7alu-
able ideas and suggestions to present.

= "Disembered photographs" is the
latest craze among the women of this
West according to the Detroit Free Press.
If one has very pretty hand or arm she
has it photographed and mounted in
frame with velvet background. These
pictures are not for the parlor but are
kept in the chambers of the ladies and
sent to special friends. One woman had
her foot taken and another the back of
her neck. Now how would you like to
see a number seven foot. all knotted up

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
They Form Completely United Bod,
Enterprising and Harmonious

They Form n Completely United Body,
Enterprising and Harmonious
No State of the Union is a nation,
though several States exceed Euro
pean nations both in size and popula-
ton, the State of New York, for ex-
ample, being both larger and more
populous than the whole of Switzer-
land; and no State represents a his
torical nationality. Hence the ex-
perienoe of America, it may be OBJ
served, throws no light on the posi-
bility of using federalism and local
either for recognizing and giving free
scope to the sentiment OF nationality
which may exist in any part of an en-
pire, or for meeting the need for local
institutions anu distinct legislation
which may arise from differences be-
tween such pact and the rest of the
empire" The States, looked at as a
whole, make UP the United States,
but the United States are nothing but
the political form into which circum-
stances have nodded the constitution
of a single nation. The Americans
are as much one people as the
French or the Italians; they form
a more completely united body
than do the inhabitants of the
United Kingdom. The men you meet
at New York differ less from the men
you meet at Chicago than Londoners
from the citizens of Edinburgh or than
both from the citizens of Cork. The
difference, indeed, between whites and
blacks is of course fundamental, but
the aim of the negro is to initiate to
the best of his power the ordinary
American citizen, and there does not
exist at present, and, as far as one
dare prophesy any thing, there is not
much likelihood there will exist in the
Union any thing like negro national
itv. Meanwhile-and this Is OF prl-
mary importance-the division into
States does not correspond with dit
ferences of religious creed. An En-
clishman who goes from London to
Edinburgh enters into new moral at
mosphere. Who can pass month IN
Scotland without hearing of the Diff
farences which divide the Free Church
from the Establishment? What sane
man living in England cares to recall
these subjects of divisionP The no
man Catholic citizen Of Ticino is a
different man from the German Ko-
man Catholic of Lucerne; each differs

COVERS SHAKESPEARE.
Statue in the Memorial Gardens, STRAIT
ford-on-Avon.


ford-on-Avon.
One of the features of Stratford, inter
esting to the Shakespeare pilgrim, is
Lord Ronald Covers statue OF the poet,
erected last summer in the Memorial
gardens. This work is fine In some of
its details, but not fortunate in all, and
certainly infelicitous in its composition
and it's side. Itconsists of vast pedes-
tai, on the top of which stands the full
length bronze figure of Shakespeare,
while at the four corners of the base are
bronze figures of Hamlet, Lady Macbeth,
Henry " and Falstaf. These character
figures are here named in the order of
their merit. Hamlet is the fulflment
of a poble ideal. The face and figure
are full of misery, yet full OF thought.
The type of man thus embodied would
be at once recognized anywhere-an i'm
perial, powerful, tender, gracious ma
ture, completely broken and subjugated
by hopeless grief. Lady Macbeth,
though conventional in treatment, does
convey the idea of remorse and of
physical attenuation from suffering, and
likewise the sense of being haunted.
Henry V. is represented as putting on
the crown. The figure is 1.-the, graceful
and spirited, and the action of it is nat
ural. 1t lacks royal individuality, how
ever, and it might be taken for anybody
as soon as for Prince Henry. Falstaff
appears as a type Of gross, chuckling
humor, and almost might be taken for
Gambrinus or King Beer. The intellect
and the predominant character of Falstaf
are not indicated. These figures are
dwarfed by the size of the stone they
surround-a huge pillar, upon which ap-
propriate lines upon Shakespeare, Sc
lected by Mr.. Flower, have been in
scribed. The statue of Shakespeare
himself shows man Of solid self-conse-
Grafton and iron will; an observer, of
universal view and incessant vigilance.
The remarkable feature of this figure is
the piercing look of the eyes. This is
man who sees, ponders and records.
Imagination and sensibility are not
strongly suggested. The face lacks
modelling; it is as smooth as child's
face-without characteristics curve or
wrinkle; perhaps it was designed to ex-
press an idea of eternal youth. The man
who had Shakespeare's obvious exper-
fence must have risen far above all that
this world can do, to bless or to ban
human life This structure, finally, has
been badly placed. 1t stands on the
south side of the Memorial building,
and within few feet of it, so that it is
almost swallowed up by what was in
judiciously intended for its background.
1t would show to far better advantage
if placed farther to the southwark, look
ing down the long reach of the Avon to
Shakespeare's church. The face of the
poet could then be seen from the spot
where he died, while his face would still
look, as it does now, toward his tomb

A GOETHE. ANEcpoTE
An Interesting Story Characteristic OF
the Great German Thinker.

On undressing story characteristic OF
the Great German Thinker.
The following little story, which is
amusing and characteristic of great
Goethe in his last years, will. / think,
interest that large portion of our
cultured public which cares for the
great German thinker and writer
Gothic was for many years intimate
with Hofrath and Prof. DR.. FIR. Sig
mund Voigt, and with the professors
wife, born V. Lbenich. The doctor
and his wife lived at Jena, which is
some nine or ten English miles distant
from Weimar; and when Gothic visited
the university city, he commonly spent
his evenings with the Voigts. Goethe
was, of course, the central point of at
traction, and an object of the greatest
reverence in the little circle which
gathered together in the rooms of the
professor. In the seventh volume of
the Goethe Jahrbuch" Edmund STEM
gel narrates the little story of the
great man-an anecdOte communicated
to Stengel by Theodore Volgt, a son of
the jena professor The probable date
would be 1880.
In his last years Goethe had become
monosyllabic and serious, and was
also, at times, very forgetfuL One
afternoon a Hussar from Weimar
came riding rapidly into Jena, and
drew bride at the door of the profess
sor. This Hussar was the bearer of a
note from Goethe to Voigt, in which
the doctor was pressingly invited to
come to Goethe that same evening,
and it was added that a carriage
would come for Voigt in about an
hour. Voigt, naturally, gladly obeyed
the summons, and was driven to Wei
mar to wait upon the poet Arrived
in Goethe's well-known room, Voigt
found there, in addition to Goethe
himself, Riemer. the poets secretary,
Eckermann, afterwards the poets
Boswell, and one or two other men,
whose names are unrecorded. They
were all sitting round a table. and
Goethe wore green shade over his
eyes. No one spoke word, but each
man had before him bottle of
red wine. Voigt wished TO announce
himself, and to inquire what were his
Excelency's commands; but Reimer
whispered to him softly: Hush! Ex-
celencv is thinking" Silence again
settled down upon the party; the men
slipped their wine noiselessly. At last,
at ten p. m. the party broke up, Goethe
Diminishing his friends with his usual
formula: II wish my friends a good
night"
The next morning Excelency could
remember nothing about the invita-
ton of VOigt Some idea must have
crossed the poets mind which made
him desirious of seeing and speaking
with the professor, but the idea had
vanished, and had left no trace; so
that Voigt returned to jena without
having learned why he had been so
suddenly and needlessly summoned to

The girl from Mississippi awaited her

conversation turned and asked the
Governor if what she had heard OF the
gentlemen of Kentucky was true.

KNIVES FROM OLD FILES.
An Experienced Artisan Explains How
They Are Made.

An Experienced Artisan Explains How
They Are Made.
As smiths are often asked to make
knives from old files by farmers who be-
lieve that such knives are better than

first draw the temper by heating tho
file to cherry red, then placing II in
the ashes, and five inches under the
forge and leaving it there until it is cool
| then grind out the file marks and next
comes the drawing. l make the heat
no higher than bright cherry red, and
use good smooth-faced hammer. The
file is drawn a little thicker than the
back of the blade is to be, and the blade
is then bent, edge being on the inside.
The blade is then drawn to an edge, the
drawing on the inner curve having the
effect of Strengthening it. When It has
been drawn to an even and nice color
and Strengthened, three holes are drilled
in it so that the handle can be fastened
on it, and it is then shaped with hle.
1t is necessary to avoid getting the edge
too thin, or else there will be trouble In
bouperIHS
In tempering use soft and somewhat
warm water. I seize the handle end
with pair of tongs, hold the blade over
q clear, well-charred fire with the back
down, and heat evenly to the first hole
until ! see that the blade is red, and
then plunge it endwise into the water.
This should leave the blade 50 that
when tried with file, the file will take
hold just a little. If this test shows
that the blade is too hard, dip it in
linseed oil, hold it over slow, clear fire
until the oil ignites, and then dip into
the water again. This will tougher and
enable it to hold its edge better. The
grinding should be done on good, even
faced stone.

this way, and have never heard any

much profit in such work, but it helps
