An Experiment In Summer-TraininI

An Experiment In Summer Training.
Our plan was simple. A noble friend
of teachers, Miss Alice Shultes of the
River Falls Normal, Dodge County
teacher, who begun life in our rural
schools, volunteered to give us the
fruit of her study and experience, de.
string to do for our young teachers,
'what she would have been 50 thank
full to have had done for her as IA
young teacher" To her was given
Psychology, Pedagogy and English
Literature-study of the lake poets.
Another volunteer, took Physics, Ar
ithmetic and Vocal music. The Super
intendent took his share.
The orders were to keep out of the
ruts. We were to break up the rou-
tine thinking of the school room. The
work took its color from the morning
work in psychology and pedagogy, and
these subjects were built up by simple
observation of mental processes. The
several subjects of after work were
used to illustrate mental growth or to
contribute to it. The solidarity of
all the knowledges" was the key to
the program. We were to know
things in their relations.
a good, round, hearty yea answered
the question, = Shall we try it again
next year," next year we shall
try it again.

which much learned pedants argue,
was 10y the clear and sympathetic touch
of one woman's mind turned into
simple and delightful study, more cas-.

teacher than its cognate physiology,
and of equally mediate and practical
benefit. Only last night--a month af-
ter the enthusiasm should have died
out-one of these bright girls said to
me she had never before been so

Love Charms.

In the south of France they make a
very peculiar love charm in very
peculiar way. Under certain cere-
monies the young woman catches and
boxes up frog In a box with lot Of
little holes bored. in the wood. The
casket is then buried in an ant hill for
two weeks. The ants, of course, attack
the prisoner and eat up all the flesh,
and all that is left Is the creatures
bones. Among these is shield shaped
bone about as large as ones thumb
nail, upon ono end Of which is q little
hook. The girl takes this bone and
has it blessed surreptitiously by the
priest without his knowledge-that is,
She exposes it during the benediction
at the mass-and then she hooks 1t on
the clothing of her sweetheart that Is
to be. The charm, when properly
prepared with all due ceremony and
care, has never been known to fail

Death In q Lions Den.

Tho shocking death of q female
tanner of wild BEASTS Is reported from
Hohenmuth, in Bohemia. She was a
girl 26 years old, named Bertha Baum
gartner. During q public performance
in q strolling menagerie she entered
an empty cage, and the door of an ad-
joining cage was then opened to let a
lion and a Bengal tiger enter. The
lion walked in quietly, but the tiger, a
ferocious beast, which had three times
wounded its keeper, crouched in the
doorway. and showed temper. The
girl lost nerve, cried for help and
slipped. AS she did SO the tiger made
O spring, bit her on the shoulder, then
in the throat, literally rent her to
pieces and tossed her body about. Half
the audience ran to the doors in hor.
ror, while the attendants tried TO beat
off the tiger by poking hot irons into
tho cage. But the girl was dead long
before the animal was driven away
The lion seemed to have been as much
frightened as the human spectators, as
he took no part in the carnage. The
proprietor Of the show has since ad
mitted that this same tiger had already
killed two people.-Chicago Journal.
