Ushers, Robbing.

Ushers in many Of the most prominent
theatres in this city have a new and clever
device for victimizing theatre goers. If they
hold coupons for particularly desirable seats
the usher on going down the aisle viii sub
stitute coupons for inferior chairs, frequently
without the knowledge of the purchaser. If
people are not already occupying the stolen
seats they are waiting in the lobby, and when
the employe receives his consideration are
promptly satisfied. This practice is spread
ing, but occasionally one Of the forward fel.
lows is caught in the act, turn of affairs
which does not worry the offenders in the
least. The fees which ushers receive in this
manner and for selling unpurchased seats are
enormous. In one Of the smallest houses in
town at which a strong attraction was run.

Gath ON Calico.

Not much improvement was made in the
way Of mechanics upon Archimedes, who
died 2l2 B. c., until we come down TO Calico,
who got 10 the base of tho laws of motion
about the year 1898, or some time after
Massachusetts had been settled by the Puri-
tans.
Calico was born In 1864 and died In i84o, q
few years before Charles was executed in
England.
Calico was not a perfectly educated man.
His father was a musician aud the son had
resolved to be a painter, but his father put
him into medicine. BY loving to draw he
fell into the line of geometry and let medi-
cine go.
His first discovery was the isochronism Of
the vibrations Of the pendulum. and he used
this principle to count the pulse of patients,
and in the course Of time applied it TO clock
work. He loved to read old Archimedes, and
from him got the idea of the hydrostatic bal
ance, and of this he made description which
led TO a mechanic named Ubaldi, Of high de-
gree, becoming his friend.
He now wrote a paper on the center Of
gravity, which got him at the early age OF
"a a professorship Of mathematics at Pisa.
He was loaded with nntagonisms, and at once
attacked certain perverse and current views
Of science. His severe language was followed
by hatred; and these enemies, once raised,
never let him go.--Cincinnau Enquirer.

Disappointed.

The true artist has an instinct for perfec-
ton, and as a necessary consequence is never
fully satisfied with his own work Some
times, however, he comes nearer 70 satisfying
himself than 10 meeting the taste of his
patrons, especially If he is a painter of por-
traits
A New York artist, who was in Charleston
on pleasure trip, painted the portrait of a
little darky. She was encouraged to sit pa
tiently by having seen a beautiful picture
which the same artist had made Of the fair
haired daughter Of one of the proudest houses
in Charleston, In whose service the young
darky's mother was laundress.
Patiently she posed and when the portrait
was completed the artist brought II round to
show it TO its original "Here you are, Janey,"
he said.
Janey looked at her counterfeit present
ment and burst into shriels and howls She
ran from the room to pour her sorrows into

Mountain Forcsts Pravon. r,oos.

A mountain forest has more functions than
most people have considered. 1t covers the
hills with vast mat or network Of living
root fibers, and holds in place the ever ac-
cumulating mass of mold and decomposing
vegetable matter, which absorbs and retains
the water Of the rainfall and the melting
SHOWS Such forest Is great sponge, which
receives all the water that falls on the noun
tains, and allows It to escape gradually, so as
to maintain the steady 6ow Of the rivers
which It feeds. A forest is thus a natural
reservoir for the storage and distribution Of
the water which falls upon II; and it is far
moro efficient, as well as far more economical,
than any system of artificial storage reser-
voirs that can be substituted for It. If the
forest Is removed, this mighty sponge is de-
stroyed, and there is then nothing to perform
its function Of holding back the water, which
will rush down in overwhelming floods and
torrents. The first thing to be noted is that
the water win thus all run away at once, at
a time when but little of it is wanted, and
there viii be little or none Of 1t left for the
season when II is most needed. The rivers
which have been fed by the mountain springs
will soon be dry great part Of the year

Citations Of Public School Teachers of
Maryland and Delaware was continued at

corridors or engaged in social converse.

School made an address on Teachers
Certificates and Examinations and
Tenure Of office.
Professor w. L. Gooding, PHI. d., of
the Conference Academy, Dover, Del
made an address on the Relations of
Psychology to Pedagogy" He said /:
/ The genius Of teaching is scientific, and
although psychology is a science, too
much stress has Of late been laid upon
the relations Of psychology to teaching.
| The poets corner has been replaced in
school journals by ESSAYS on psychology.
and it has been contended that in order
to become successful teachers, books on
pedagogy must be studied. Teachers
should follow the laws Of common sense
rather than the theories of psychology.
The successful practical teacher can pre-
scribe better rules than all the treatises
on psychological pedagogy. The revolu-
ton OF the science of teaching is not
with psychologists; for that we must
look to ourselves.
The subject was further discussed by
Rev. John Squier, examiner of Cecil coun.
ty, and Prof. Newell, Of the Normal
School.
Mrs. NJ. E. Newell, secretary Of the
Maryland State Reading Circle, made a
report Of its doings since it was organized
