Women as Educators.

1t Is pleasant to see women coming
more and more to the front in educa
tional affairs. rs teachers, rs school
committee, as supervisors of schools,
and as originators of methods and all
viserS in the execution of those meth
DDS. 1t is strange that this has not
come about earlier; for it would seem
as if nature herself had intimated an
opinion in this regard. since it is the
mother to whom the first formative
processes of the child's mind are in
trusted, and whoever gives the subject
any thought will confess that these
first processes are the most important
OF all, that they are the beginning of
Development. 1t is in them that the
memory sets about laying in its stores.
that the tendency to good or evil is re-
ceiyed. that all the growth is given its
bent, that health of body or of mind is
secured or hopelessly impaired. Bacon
remarked three centuries since that a
gardener takes no more pains with the
young than with the full-grown plant,
and Comenius said that the great
boughs which tree is to have sprout
from its stem in the first years of its
growth. 1t is evident to all that the
mother. the amt. the sister, the people
who are always at home and at hand
and who make it their business, have
the control of all the first impressions
of the child. That great thinker
Frobel declared that the unfolding and
feeding of the higher life of emotion
was the most difficult part of the rear
ing of children, and that from that
springs all that is best in the race; and
that, we all know. is almost exclusive
ly in the hands of women-of mothers
and grandmothers. aunts and elder
sisters. Ii, then, women are the ones
to whom, both by nature and the Gus
toms Of society, is given the care of
children in the most crucial period of
their lives, it certainly follows that
they are capable of taking care of them
in periods less vitally important, to say
nothing of the fitness they acquire
through their previous work in training
during the earliest and confessedly
most important periods. The thought
that says otherwise is hardly to be called
thought; it is a habit of prejudice, and
ranks with the barbarian wisdom of
the Turk. who leaves the boy in tho
harem during his first seven Years, as
years of no account. 1t is but few
years, comparatively speaking, since
women were allowed to lake the work
of the higher education in hand; but,
so far, not only the apparent fact that
nature designed them for the work
speaks for them, but the vast measure
of success that has followed them, and
the reforms that have already been in
stituted through their means. in the
constant decrease of corporal punish
ment in the gentlenesS of method in
spired by them among teachers, and in
the loftiness of aim among Students

SagaciOuS Horse.

1t is related of Il horse at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, noted for his intelligence, that
during recent storm, finding that his
shoes were too smooth for comfort dur
ing slippery trip, he pushed the barn
door open and started on a steady trot
for the blacksmith's. Once in the shop
he stood back aud waited his turn as
decorously as though ''going-ashop-
ping" on his own hook was an every
day occurrence. Finally one of the
men brought out his tools and began
tapping on the fourfooted customers
shoes as though putting on new set.
The animal shaved unmistakable signs
of approval. and when the hammering
was finished trotted out and made his
way home. perfectly contented.

More Than he Could Chew.

One day big hawk darted down in'
to Ethelbert W. Pearce's barnyard. up
in Herrick township. Pennsylvania,
road with her, and settled down behind
rail fence. Biddy was too heavy for
the hawk to sail away with, and she
squawked to the full extent of her lung
power while her broad-winged captor
was pinning her to the ground. The
hawk appeared to know that its actions
were being watched, for every few
seconds it raised its head and peeped
between the rails toward the house,
where Mr.. Pearce, who had got his
Iifle the moment the hen thief dropped
behind the fence. was waiting to get a
good shot at it. The old hen squawked
right along. fluttered for all she was
worth to free herself from the hawk S
jaws, and big claws, and struggled in
the grass, while the hawk held her
down with apparent ease, glanced
through the fence and seemed to be
afraid to begin to devour her so near
to the farm buildings. Twice the
hawk made an effort to rise with its
noisy prey, but the old hens weight
was evidently several ounces more than
it had been used to handling, and again
it was forced to settle down. Mr..
Pearce had drawn bead on the spot
in the fence where the hawk was, and
the next time it stuck up its head and
peeped between the rails, he pulled the
trigger. For moment there was a
lively futtering behind the fence, and
pretty soon the hen dashed into the
road, with her wings spread out, and
went limping and squaking toward the
barnyard as though she was scared
half to death. The hawk was not
visible from where Mr.. Pearce had
banged away at it, and he ran to the
fence and looked over. The big bird
lay sprawled out as dead as stone, and
when Mr.. Pearce examined it he found
that his bullet had cnt the hawks brain
out as nicely as knife could have done
the work.

At Anchor.

I am going a journey. brother, or would it be
better to say,
j am ending up a long voyage. and dropping
my kedge In the bay.
Coming home: and in debt to the purser. with
never a dollar 10 pay?
Six decades. Twas wearisome voyage, made
over mystical sea.
In a poorly rigged, plebeian lugger that al
ways was drifting alice;
And where are the lofty square-riggers that
started the voyage with me?
They passed NE far up to the windward, with
stuu-sails aioft and allow.
Some heading for tropical islands, some bound
for the islands of snow.
And where are the weatherly clippers the
merchants delighted to know?
Some drowsily swing to the anchors. as the
meandering tides go by:
Some battle in frozen oceans, W here the north
erly gales are high;
Some drift in the seething tropics, with keels
upturned TO the sky.
Oh, grand is the lofty clipper, as she dashes
the yeasty brine
From the crest of the midnight billows, where
the waters fash and shine.
But love the plebeian lugger-the little lug
ger is mine.
And lofty clipper or lugger, it comes to the
came ut last,
Or whether we count the wreckage, or hold tC
our mOorinRs fast.
And we swing to final anchor, and the voy.

Long Distance Swimming by a 1Iustat


Captain Ben Rocheblave, of the ma
val reserve, is the owner of a mustang
mare which, if yet alive, is entitled to
the championship belt for swimming.
Sunday night the mare left home and
went into the navy yard. She was dis
covered Monday morning, and when
the guards attempted to put her out of
the yard she took to the water and for
an hour or more swan around in front
of the navy yard. She then struck out
across the bay, and after swimming at
least three miles landed on Santa Rosa
island, in the rear of the life saving sta
ton.
Crossing the island to a spot near the
station she boldly plunged into the
gulf, and when last seen was well out
TO sea, swimming to the southeast. II
she put back she has not landed at any
point west of the quarantine station,
but she may have landed at some point
east of it, and Captain Rocheblave has
parties living up the sound looking out
for her. -Pensacola News.

growing there, and sweet with sugar
cane and luscious with orange and
figs and pomegranates, and redolent
with such flora as can only grow where
q tropical sun kisses the earth And
the hour came back to me when i'm the
midst of all that splendor Herod died,
commanding his sister Salome immedi-
ately after his death to secure the as
sassination of all the chief Jews whom
he had brought to the city and shut
up in a circus for that purpose, and
the news came to the audience in the
theatre as some one took the stage and
announced to the excited multitude
'sHerod is dead Herod is deadp'
Then in my dream all the pomp of
Jericho vanished and gloom was added
to gloom, and desolation to desolation,
and woe to woe, until perhaps the rip
ping waters of the fountain of Elisha
suggesting it-as sounds will sometimes
give direction to dream-I thought
that the waters of Christ's salvation
and the fountains "open for sin and
uncleanness' were rolling through that
plain and rolling across that continent,
and rolling round the earth, until on
either side of their banks all the thorns
became flowers, and all the deserts gar
dens, and all the novels mansions, and
all the funerals bridal professions, and
all the blood of war was turned into
dahlias, and all the groans became
anthems, and Dante's Inferno" be-
came Dante's "Divina Commedia," and
paradise Lost" was submerged by
Paradise Regained, " and tears became
crystals, and cruel swords came out of
foundries glistening plowshares and in
my dream at the blast of a trumpet
the Frustrated walls of Jericho rose
again.
And some one told me that, as these
walls in Joshua's time at the sounding
trumpet of doom went down, now
at the sounding trumpet of the gos-
pei they come up again. And
thought a man appeared at the
door of my tent, and l said, ''Who
are you, and from whence have
you Gomez and he said, 81 am the Sa-
marian you heard of at the tavern on
the road from Jerusalem to Jericho as
taking care of the man who fell among
thieves, and l have just come from
healing the last wound of the last un-
fortunate in all the earth" And rose
from my pillow in the tent to greet
him, and my dream broke, and 1 real
lied it was only dream, but a dream
which shall become a glorious reality
as surely as God is true and Christ's
gospel is the worlds Catholicon.
"Glory be to the Father, and to the
Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was
in the beginning, is now, and ever shall
be, world without end. Amen"
