As USUAL.

A late eastern dispatch states that six
million dollars have been already sub
scribed in Chicago for the Worlds fair OF
1892. Meantime New York has been
talking, that is her takers have been
shouting that there is no place as good as
New York in which to hold the Worlds
fair. So the thing will go on unit! New
York shall be no longer factor in the
question Of locality for this immense I'M
dertaking. Truly there are many reas.
ons why New York should be the chosen
place. The fact that it is the metropolis,
its cosmc po!itan character, its situation,
surrounded as it is by magnificent wat.
ers, large number of hotels and general
adoption to the handling Of immense
throncs of strangers. are all in its favor.
Another fact which ought to be considered
1, that the New Workers, inhabitants OF
the metropolis. would not be GO apt to
make business OF robbing their guesta
by extorton as would the inhabitants Of
an inland city like Chicago which must
always partake moro or less Of the char.
acter Of country town, no matter if it
had ten million inhabitants. This mat.
ter of extortionate prices for entertain.
ment is a very serious one, viewed with
regard to the impression we may make
upon guests. and that is the most i'm.
portant view that can be taken of the
whole matter. According to accounts
brought from the last national Republi-
can convention, held in Chicago, those
who should have been public entertain
ers in that town became simply public
robbers. 1t was difficult to obtain de.
cent food, or any lodging, and the prices
charged made it out 81 the question for
any but wealthy men to remain week
without seriously iujaring their financial
status. If the city by the lake has the
worlds fair, and again overcharges in
proportion to the crowd that will be
there, single days attendance will de-
plete the purse of man of ordinary
means and send him home penniless,
while the wealthy European will become
a captive for debt and be compelled to
await ransom from home.
But New York will probably lose the
exhibition just the same; because New
Workers are so much in the habit Of hav.
ing everything their own way that they
will not make special effort to have the
exhibition held there. New York has
apparently become Indifferent to public
fsvors, and will let the prize slip away,
while Chicago will make great and
perhaps successful effort to obtain it.
Yet it is by no means certain that Chi
cago is to have her own way in this mat
ter. The same artificial causes OF pros
perity that built her up are building up
other towns further west, and when the
FINAL struggle comes, in congress, Chicago
may find herself in the novel situation Of
being cleft" Still her citizens who sub
scribe six million dollars toward
the enterprise, while those OF the other
cities sleep, will have no cause to regret
for lack Of activity. They have in
them the true spirit of progress which
ought to be cherished by every man in
every live town.

From an anecdotal and personal article

Margaret J. Preston IN the June Century
we quot the following: HE had the
gentlest way possible of giving counsel
and administering rebuke. l remember
hearing him say, in a presence where
such testimony was worry more than a
dozen temperance lectures: Men need
no stimulant; it is something, I am per-
suaded, that they can do without. When
[ went into the field, at the beginning of
the war, good lady friend of mine gave
me two sealed bottles of very superb
French brandy. I carried them with me
through the entire campaign; and when
I met my friend again, after all was oyer,
Ilgave her back both her bottles of bran
dy, with the seals unbroken. 1t may
have been some comfort to me to know

gency, but the moment never came when

How to Prevent whispering.

Many teachers admit that whispering
in schools is a great annoyance, and that
there IS no real necessity for it,. but how
to prevent it is what has puzzled them.

the right to sit alone or choose seat
mates. In cases where scarcity OF seats
will not allow any to SIT alone, seat
them so that all are satisfied with Their
seat. mates. tell them those seats be-
long to them just as long as they keep
from communicating. AS soon as find
that pupil has communicated, l have
him exchange his seat for one not so de-
slrable. If possible, I have him sit
alone and away from the rest of the pu-
pills. Of course, if the violation was not
done Intentionally, or for the sake of
communicating, l would try HIM again,
or seat him at some other desirable place
When re-seated, haYe HIM remain until
he shows signs of reformation. Then, at
my discretion, I have him resume his
original seat, telling him if he communi-
