Alderman Korn intends introducing

Alderman Korn intends introducing an
amendment to the charter providing for
the more ready removal of appointed
officials. The terms of his proposition
are not known yet, but it is step which
should be guardedly taken. If aldermen
were always good and virtuous they might
be relied upon to be as careful in retaining
efficient men as they are conscientious in
confirming them. But the present men,
bers might not be reelected and bad men
might get in-bad men who would want
to punish commissioners of public works
for not keeping aIdermen's sons or sons
in-law in office. And then more mischief
might follow than if there was no hack
ordinance In the charter.

Third-To investigate unexplained laws
of nature, and the psychic power latent In

OF these, acceptance of the first only is
obligatory. Many members of the society
study theosophy, and many accept its
teachings, but neither the study nor
the acceptance is enforced on any. Each
is left free to work out his own line OF
thought, and TO reach its own conclusions
in his own way; but every member must
recognize, and ought to serve In that
brotherhood which sees in every SORROW
the duty of succor, which hears in every
cry the call TO comfort, which refuses to
allow any barrier TO shut off man from
man, and which by the very might of Its
conviction shall one day realize that In
which it believes. ANNIE BEsANr.

coon WAGES FOR coon TEACHERS

The school board at Port Townsend re-
Gently reduced the salaries of the teachers,
although public opinion does not favor re-
duction. Good teaching. like good preach
ing. is a noble, natural gift. The differ
ence between a mere drill sergeant and his
captain, who is expected TO be not only an
officer but humane and gallant gentle
man, Is not more wide than the difference
between those who are endowed with the
rare and delicate powers Of a true teacher
and those who teach as mechanically and
rs monotonously as they would turn
erindstone or weed an onion bed. The
difference between a teacher that moulds
and inspires the young minds that come
under his influence and teacher that is a
mere mechanic, is the difference between
scholastic memory and a coarse appetite
for compilation, and the capacity for
culture through sound intellectual diges-
ton. There are many mechanics. but few
inventors: many soldiers, but few gener-
ais; many clergymen, but few preachers:
many pedagogues, but few teachers.
The memory of school days always in
cludes the recollection of the inspiring
influence of the teachers who were born
90 teach, In distinction from those who
assumed TO keep school. To these born
teachers the world owes its largest pro-
duct of fine manhood and womanhood.
The scholar at school will grow in spiritual

A SONG OF THE YEAR.

Spring smiles through her tears, and the crocus
And primrose shy petals unfold;
Summer beams on the glad earth and straight
way
The meads are a carpet OF gold.
Spring is gay with sweet song and fair promise,
The lamb and the flower and the bee,
And each young soul exulting reioices,
The world is for me, is for mel
Not a rose on the midsummer hedgerows
Nor billow of poisoning grass
But Is rich in the fugitive rapture
OF pleasures which quicken and pass.
When June along hillside and streamside
Trips lightly on virginia. feet,
And the woodlands re-echo with voices,
Proclaiming that Summer is sweet
Yes, sweet are the opulent Summer
And statelier Autumn to come;
Royal Autumn in gold and in purple,
Tho all the gay songtide be dumb.
But we know with mournfuI provision,
Mid the wealth, and the glare, and the heat,
That the sweet of the year has departed
Far, far upon vanishing feet
Autumn fades into passionless Winter,
Dead grasses and skeleton trees,
Dark mists and chill rains OF December,
Black snow-clouds and waters that freeze.
Yet through all the worlds ruin and sadness
Our hearts leap within US and sing,
Knowing hid in no distant Tomorrow
once more sure presage OF Spring
-Lelgis Norris.

WORLDS FAIR ATTRACTIONS.

AS the time of the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
ton draws nearer, the enthusiasm concerning
il in Chicago increases No sooner Is one grand
project for making it attractive settled than
another is brought forward. Chiefly of late,
the great activity seems to be in the way of Sc
curing things which derive their interest from
association with the great Columbus. The latest
plan is 10 the ruins of the city of Isabella
on the north coast of the island Of IIayti to
Chicago. Isabella it will be remembered was
the first European settlement In the New World
and was established by Columbus in 1893. AS
these buildings which went to ruin 80 many
years ago, were of stone, it would seem to be au
impossible task TO remove them such a distance
and set them mp in proper shape, but we are
assured that such is not the case; that the plan
is feasible, and that the ancient ruins Of Isabella
vine-cad and moss-cOyered. will yet stand in
Chicago. Great care will bc taken in removing
and setting up these ruins that they may have
perfectly natural appearance and not be criticised
by visiting Europeans who have ruins of their
own, and are apt to be fastidious on the subject
For instance. under the largest building. which
is now in ruins, the Governors house. there is n
cellar This cellar will be removed with tho
rest of the building. And to disarm the last
vestige OF criticism the hole which the cellar
comes out Of will be jerlScd up and brought along
too. Chicago does nothing by halves
Though the moving Of the ruins of Isabella is
the latest plan which has received the official in
dorsement of the Fair directors it is not the latest
in the minds of enterprising Chicago individuals
by any means. Professor Gobang, of Cicero Town
ship, the eminent archaeologist and collector of
Americana, has plan which throws the ruins
idea as much in the shade as that does the notion
Of having Hubbard squash and early T1ta,baga
exhibition. The Professors plan is nothing less
than the removal of the whole island of San Sal
vador 10 Chicago, where he proposes to set it down
in Lake Michigan directly in front of the CITY
San Salvador the first land sighted by Coum-
bus on October Il, 1892. and Professor Gobang
considers that the Exposition would not be COM
plete without il. Vast, not to say visionary. as
the Professors scheme may seem at first sight, it
would be dangerous TO say that it will not be car

and the soil is light aud porous. The Professors
