The "Sentence System."

Charles Dickens, while visiting the Massachusetts school ship, was called upon for speech" He responded by saying, ''Boys, do all the good you can and make no fuss about it.
 Mir. Dickens, as his novels attest, be- ieved in the beneficial effect of pithy saying and striking proverb-pointed words which would fasten themselves in the memory. The conductors of the Netherlands Mettray," one of the model reform schools of Holland, use this "sen- tence system" as means of moral edu- cation. They hang on the walls such sentences as these:
 ''He who seeks himself will not find God;' "A poor man he who has nothing but money" "He is a fool who lives poor to die rich;' Labor has golden bot tom;" Care for the moments, and these will care for the years"
 Sometimes boy is made to learn a sentence by heart. One boy was over heard using foul speech to comrade. He was ordered to read to the boys every morning for eight days this sentence, ''It is better to be dumb than to use the tongue for filthy talk" It made him clean in speech.-Youth's Companion.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Advices from Pan. ana under date of Feb. 4 state that lengthy shock of earthquake was felt in Lima Jan ?. The same evening it was felt in Callao. Three shocks occurred, the two last being exceptionally severe. The damage conse- quent was triling. Costa Rica yves visited by severe quake Dec. 29, the like of which has not been experienced since 1S4l San Jose, the capital, was nearly shattered into a mass of debris. Nearly every public building suffered and the streets were blockaded with masses of fallen masonry. It has been neces. sary to close churches and prohibit worship in them. Losses amount to more than $2,OOO,O 900 in San Jose alone.
 At La Lapuna, distant some six miles from here, a most extraordinary geological phe nomenon took place. The earth has assumed the appearance of rough sea. The father of a family and four of his children were buried together, while the mother and he1 young child were thrown by the motion of the earth distance of 1000 metres She de clares that the earth swallowed her and then ejected her where she was found Here the hills have changed their positions, and the ground is full of cracks. Since the first shocks a number of smaller ones have been experienced, but they have done no further damage.
