An Old Story Exploded.

The old, old story has been re-
vamped once more, that the German
Emperor hates England because an
English doctor attended at his birth,
and by clumsy work caused the de-
formity of one arm from which he has
ever since suffered. It is high time,
says the Boston Budget, that this fab
rication was laid away forever. The
facts OF the case are that German
doctor of1ciated at his birth, and caused
the injury to his arm; to which cir
cumstance are due the Empress Fred
erick's distrust of German doctors ever
since, and her determination that an
English surgeon should attend her
husband in his last illness. The young
Emperor's hatred of England-and of
his mother-has an entirely different
origin.

NATURAL TEACHING.
How to Make the Acquiring of Know

How to Make the Acquiring of Knowl-
edge Pleasure to Children,
Mental dormancy, we have been told
time and again by the old schoolmas-
ter, who has, moreover, not passed
through the mill of experience with
his eyes shut, can be quickened into
newness of life when necessity presses
upon it to act. But when the pressure
OF necessity is continued too long, the
result is nearly always the same on
the active as on the inactive mind.
Nothing is so easily stultifed as STU
pidity, and the process which renders
the stupid child more stupid, not UNI
frequently makes even the clever child
lose heart In dealing with the will
ing and the unwilling mind the process
is the same, the supplying of the
food of knowledge that nour-
ishes and strengthens and encour-
ages to self-effort, not the supplying Of
the medicine of discipline which,
though it puriies for the moment,
eventually enervates, and Supplies the
natural gifts in the child. Thanks to
Nature there are few, if any, children
without "a turn" as it is called, for
something good and useful, and it is in
this ''turn'' there lies the hope of men,
tai development. 1t is this gift which
the teacher must first discover before
either medicine or food can, with good
effect, be administered. BY build
ing upon this nucleus of native intelli-
gence or inclination, the bitter-sweet
of school-work soon strengthens the
soul to recognize the pleasure of do
ing ones duty; and when the most in
different pupil-indifferent, perhaps,
not so much from laziness as natur-
al longing for muscular freedom
begins to feel this pleasure,
the school life becomes all
sunshine, the acquiring of knowl-
edge becomes as sweet to the
mental desires of the child as is the
sirup of the maple to the taste. The
natural developments in education are
gradual, not violent. The true meth
DDS of imparting instruction are born
of Nature itself; and under them tie
knowledge that is acquired is the
knowledge that assimilates as a pal
atable food that nourishes, not as a
bitter medicine that nauseates even
when it rectifes. By the natural
process of getting understanding, the
memory is not excoriated with a
knowledge that is beyond the compre.
hension of the intellect. Mind growth
is as slow and gradual as body growth,
and can be checked only by too much
food or too much medicine. The true
education has only to guard against q
surfeit of the one; since Nature itself
/ has provided the means of escaping
the other. chronological Journal.

Two Styles of Animals for which There II

Is it no loss to country like ours
no loss to our business men, no loss to
our civilization considered as q whole,
then, when it is impossible for them to
buy, even at any price, the one horse
they need-the docile, handsome,

be more foolish on the part of the
breeder of New England to continue to
breed the ''trotter" that few want and

There are two styles of horses for
which there is genuine and earnest
demand in New England and the
country to-day, and for this de-
mand there is no supply. The
first is. the roadster, and the
second is the coupe coach-horse. The
former must be of good size, handsome
to the eye, docile and able to pull two
persons from ten to twelve miles an
hour and burst out when called upon
to three-minute gait. The latter
must be of large size, of fine form, of
good solid color, gentle in stall and
harness, of high, snowy action and
able to carry coupe or carryall eight
miles an hour. Such horses will sell,
and sell at good prices, and whoever
breeds them will find himself breed

channels flows clean and straight from

Centuries of governmental super
vision and controlling authority have
placed his pedigree beyond dispute
and made him the embodiment of pre-
potent forces to a degree unmatched in
the world, beyond the limits OF
Arabia. If stations from this famous
stock could be, by private enterprise
or concerted action on the part of our
breeders, imported to New England,
the style of horse for which there is
such demand and of which there is
no supply, might speedily become
attainable. In a few years the finest
carriage horse in the world and
noble class of roadsters would be seen
in our city and on our suburban road
ways, and the breeders of the country
would have what they need-a horse
that would sell, and sell for good
price and sell as soon as he was educat-
ed to go safely to harness. That is the
kind of horse gentlemen want and
are ready to pay for.-W. H. H. MUIR

lggers here who had worked togethe,
or quite while. One OF the three,
who used to b. very lively chap and

His companions noticed this ind, think.

MIN alone. There was to be funeral
n the afternoon and we went over to
Zig the grave. As soon as Joe stuck
mis- spade in the ground he began to
shake. His companions told him to stop
working if he didn't feel we'll, but Joe
paid no attention and continued with
his work until the job had been fin
ished. Three or four more graves were
made that day, and every time Joe put
down his spade he shook. The other
two tried to make fun of him by imitat-
ing his shaking while at work.
A few days later Joe's compan-
ions had the corpse-quake, too, and a
week later had to stop work entirely.
Il thought that the three men had
contracted ma aria, but, strange to say,
they never would have that peculiar

would pick up spade and try to work

insisted upon his giving up the job, as
h. was falling away. He remained at
nome about week, and his w. lie told
us he was getting bette again, when
one day his boy mentioned the word
spade in his fathers presence. 1t was
the stra gest thing in the world-no
sooner had the boy said spade than
Joe took the corpse-quake again. He
didn't last long after that. He would
be thinking about digging graves all
the time. and this made him so sick that
he died shortly after. don't remem-

boao1iIul Women Who Dance and Dream
Their Lives Away.
5 Paraguay is almost a fairyland o.
romance. The native portion OF The
population is q remnant of the tribe Of
Guarani Indians, one OF the loftiest in
the grade of civilization of all the
American race. But nothing astonishes
the visitor to Paraguay as much as the
vast preponderance of the female over
the male population. The proportion
lie something like nine to one.
Along fierce war in which the natives
followed and supported cruel and ambi
tioas ruler through indescribable hard
ships and sufferings, reduced the whole
population to about one-sixth of what il
was twenty years ago, leaving only
women and boys. These women are as
beautiful and fair to look upon as can
be found in any part of the world.
They are of medium height, rather
slim and 1.-the, with finely nodded
limbs, small pretty hands and feet and
figures Of matchless grace and beauty
that would serve for models of the sculp.
tors art Their carriage is SO easy
and natural as to be almost the poetry
Of motion, for the freedom from high
heeled boots and tight-clothing has left
their step light, supple and strong.
The dress is OF the simplest form-a
short tunic or robe, not unlike a skirt,
falling to below the knees, and shout
der covering, not unlike shawl, both,
Of pure white, and adorned with pretty
native lace.
They are gracefully worn and be-
witchingly serve to half reveal and hall
conceal the form beneath. In the mid
day siesta they are fond Of lying Ian
guidly in their hammocks, slipping their
mate and singing in their low, sweet
voices. Possessed of languid, voluptu-
pus natures, that are fostered by the
climate, what else should they do save
love and dance and sing? Dancing is
their only pastime, and into that they
throw the whole spirit of their joyous
nature.-Boston TRANSCRIPT
