A School for Tact.

John Stapleton of the Conservatory: There
ought to be chair of tact added to the schools
of our country. There is nothing like tact to
like ship without rudder. l don't mean to
say that you can instill tact. That is natural
But you can talk it to people who haven't the
natural gift until they will study it and think
about it and thereby make fewer bad breaks
have known an evening of social enjoyment
kicked over by some one who had no tact.
heard of a story which illustrates what am
trying to get at. 1t is told of Leon Gambetta
He had a glass eye. The day on which he first
wore it he had an engagement to dine with
Sarcy, the eminent dramatic critic This caused
Gambetta to be late. Sarcy knew the cause
and told it to the guests, who were too polite, of
course, to allude to it, Gambetta came, and
during the evening he grew anxious about that
of which he was most sensitive. So he asked
one of the guests:
DO you not notice any alteration in my APP
pearance?"
The guest replied: 80. yes, you have had
your hair cut"
This was tact.
Nonsense" answered Gambetta, 81 have
glass eye"
All was the remark, "you are joking.
Which one is il?
This was tact.
So that NJ. Gambetta by the tact of the COM
pany was made to forget his affection until later
in the evening, when the party was breaking up,
he accidently colided with a low-bred LOGGER
on the stairs, who said: go long or I'll make a
dead eye of the other"
There are just such people in society They
may not be as rude OF speech as that quoted, but
they are always saying or dong something at
the wrong time and place to upset everything
that was pleasant.

To Check Swearing.

Samuel Roop, the teacher recently appointed
by the school directors of Claymont to take
charge of the school at that place, says the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, has introduced
some novel methods of punishment to control
the wild and unruly boys that come to him for
instruction. He does not believe IN the use OF
the rod but some of his methods of punishment
are hardly less severe. He found that the use
of profane language was general among the
boys who attended his school, and he intended
to put stop 10 it. Any boy caught swearing
is now brought before him, and after school
his mouth is washed out with a sponge and
water and then the teacher scrapes the swear
ing tongue with knife. Nearly every night
after school closes Teacher Roop has half a
dozen or more mouths to wash out and tongues
to scrape, and one of the directors says: 1.-THE
practice is working well, and the new teacher
gives satisfaction

he is, and is willing to sign bill similar to

Mr.. Powderly and the coal barons of
Pennsylvania do not seem to see things ia
the same light. He says that the barons re-
sort to very petty methods to beat men out
of their earnings One Of the methods that
he mentions is this: The miners have to
buy the powder they use from the stores of
the barons The powder is put up in tin
cans, for which the miners are charged s
cents each. If the cans are returned in
good condition they are allowed 4 cents for
them. The manufacturers would willingly
pay cents for them, but coal barons will
not let the miners sell to the manufacturers.
They want to make three or four cents ON
the cans. This appears to be small bust
ness for the coal barons to engage in.

And life drifts as calm as the rivers flow.

And the years glide on as the rivers flow.
