Teaching the Use of Language.

Primary language lessons, if taught in
the true spirit, will develop thought, the
power of correct expression and observa-
ton, and prepare the way for very sue
cessful and profitable study of the analy-
sis and grammatical forms of our Ian
guage.
The following rules should be carefully
followed:
l. Proceed slowly. A little well taught
is far better than much half understood.
2. After each lesson require pupils to
express their thoughts in their own Ian
guage.
3. Be certain that the meaning of each
word used is understood and its spelling
learned
4. Read frequently an interesting story.
Require it to be repeated in the pupils
own words, and then written. This ex-
ercise will call out the power of express
sion, inpart self-confdence, discipline
the memory, and give the teacher an ex-
cellent opportunity TO make corrections.
5. Punctuation and the use Of capital
letters may be easily taught by example,
aided by a few simple rules. Children
learn that many things are right before
they can tell why.
8. The correct meaning of words is
taught by leading the children to proper
~ use those they understand. Many
more can be added from time TO time to
the stock as they need to use them.
II these rules are followed, teachers
cannot fail to be successful in teaching
the use Of Language. Michigan 4od<r-

espionage whatever, there will be
little temptation to buy votes the de-
livery of which cannot be assured
except by the word of the voter
bought, which would not be worth
much as certificate, even to the pur-
chaser. 1t is hoped that the bill will
receive the support Of every honest
man in the legislature.
Some of the railroad managers are
taking exceptions to Mr.. Taylor's bill,
aud several newspapers are siding with
them, so that it is already evident that
it will not go through without oppo-
sition. 1t remains to be seen how
determined the railroads are. and how
far their arguments will go toward
convincing members that it is to the
interest of their constituents to be
governed by the wishes of the corpora
tons.
Some of the Democratic papers are
attempting 10 show that Gov. Hoard is
u railroad man." and that Taylor's
hill is aimed at him in retaliation for
the clause in the message which says
that "demagogIes have sought to com.
mend themselves" by advocating
legislation of most radical and de-
papers that the above sentence was
aimed at Mr.. Taylor, it being well
known at the time of the writing of
the message that MIR. Taylor was pre-.
pairing bill for the better control of
railroad rates. OF course this is all
bosh. Gov. Hoard is too much of a
gentleman to use public document
as means OF conveying an insult; Mr..
Taylor is too astute politician and
too much of business man to com
promise himself by advocating aggres
sive or repressive legislation for the
purpose of commencing himself to the
agricultural or any other element
without solid reasons for such action
AS | wrote before, there is no quarrel
between the two gentlemen; on the
contrary, the utmost harmony, per.
sonal and political, exists between
them.
The ice industry is very active this

Illinois Central with ice alone. 1t will
bring in considerable ready money
through an unusual channel, as it has
amounted to little or nothing in form
er years.

LETTER FROM SWEDEN.
One OF Our Townsmen Visits the Scenes
of His Early Days.
SToCKBoLM. SWEDEN. Jan. IA 10

STOCKHOLM. SWEDEN, Jan. IA, 80.
EDrToR JoRRNAL: Thinking that an
account of my journey may be Of in
teIest to some OF your readers and my
friends l take the liberty of writing
you.
Saturday, Dec. lst, in company with
my brother Otto, l boarded the 1890
P. NJ. train at Menomonie Junction and
reached Chicago at 9:45 the next morn
ing. Saw the principal sights that
could be seen on Sunday, among them
the Palmer House barber shop-the
finest in the world-renowned particu-
larly for the elegance of its floor, it
being studded with silver dollars, and
w. naturally felt somewhat proud of
our profession.
Monday we took the $40 P. NJ.
through train on the Michigan Central
for New York, via Niagara Falls
(where "A stop of five minutes was
made for sight seeiug), arriving in
New York at $40 NJ, making the
un from Chicago in 301a hours. We
I once went on board the steamer
CITY of Berlin of the Inman line,
AN eight-day boat which left the dock
at six O'Clock the next morning.
Wehad pleasant voyage, and would
have crossed in less than eight days
bad not "A b. eakage in the machinery
occurred on the second day out render
ing the boat unable 10 make much more
than half speed, and we were eleven
days making the trip from New York
to Liverpool.
We had jolly crowd aboard and the
time passed pleasantly. was well all
the way and stood the voyage like AN
old sailor; but Ottol guess I'd bettei
not say anything, as he don't seem To
like to have it mentioned.
December 18th we left Liverpool for
Hull, ~ hours ride. Railroad accom-
modations there were very poor;
coaches not heated--Only little hot
sand in tin box. 1t being very foggy
we could not see much of the country.
Were told that fog is very common in
England this time of the year.
Wednesday. Dec. 10Th, left Hull on
boa d the Hero" This boat has run
on the North Sea 81 years. We had
nice weather and crossed in AZ hours,
arriving in Gothenburg, Sweden, Fri.
day morning. Gothenburg is city of
about loo, 900 inhabitants. Canals run
through the principal streets. We
took a short trip through the country,
and were surprised to see the green
grass and the farmers blowing, it be-
ing so near Christmas.
From Gothenburg we came here,
stopping at a few of the principal
cities along the way. Railroad accom-
mudatious are better here than in
England, but they don't come up with
those of the o. S. Trains run very
slow. The country between Gothen-
burg and Stockholm is very rough.
About half is cultivated, the balance
is pine timber. marsh and rocks.
Stockholm is fine city of 2l2. 600
inhabitants, .gca he all the modern
Improvements that help to make city
attractive and comfortable. 1t is
built on islAnis; has many public
parks and market places, and is very
beautiful city. especially in the sum-
mer time.
Next week we leave for Christiania,
Norway. where we will tarry few
days, and from there will probably
staIt for home. AL AEDkEsos.
