journal of Education. ]

A young man, it is said, once called
upon the president of a college for the
purpose of asking admission to the in
stltution. After a brief conversation
the president added, "There are three
things that are essential to perfect man
hood, namely; Education, piety and COM
mon sense. The first of these we pro
pose to give here, the second can be OBJ
tanned from above, but if you do not al
ready possess the third, you had better
go home for neither God nor man can
do anything for you"
Whether or not the acquisition of
common sense is absolutely impossible,
as the presidents remarks would imply,
we are not able to say, but what we
have seen of the uses that can be made
of this article we hope there is, at least,
the shadow of presumption that he is
wrong.
Common sense is a good thing to
have. 1t is a valuable commodity in
the school room. There is marked diff
ference in the general bearing and the
methods employed by teachers who pos
sess it and those who do not.
The common sense teacher uses the
matter of the text as means of develop
ing the mind; the other, tries to
stimulate the mind to action in order
that the matter of the text NAV be
learned. The former let's in the light
that the darkness may be driven out;
the latter, tries to drive out the dark
ness that the light may come in. The
former, feels sense of humiliation that
her qualifications are so limited; the lat
ter, eongratulates herself that she is SO
admirably fitted for her station.
The former, labors diligently to add
to her present requirement; the latter, is
no less careful to show the extent of her
varied accomplishments. The former,
earns great deal more than she receives;
the latter, receives great deal more
than she earns. The former, makes Il
careful study of the laws and condition
Of mental development; the latter, isc
averse to study of any character except
as it promises to contribute to her per-
sonal comfort and enjoyment.
The former, produces as the result of
her labors Independent thinkers; the.
latter, is content with producing skillfuli
imitators. The former, sends out into the
world earnest, active, progressive men,
and women, such as are an ornament to
society and necessity to the welfare of
the state; the latter, sends out men and
women who are neither ornamental or
useful, who, if they do not become a
positive detriment to society, are at best
negative characters, always appropriat-
ing to their own use, but never con-
tributing anything to the public welfare.

DakOta's ArteSian Well.
(South Dakota Huronite. J

The artesian well ON the Valley stock
farm continues to attract great crowds
of people. And well it may, for it is
the wonder Of the age. Following the
tests made of the pressure Saturday and
Sunday the cap was removed and
through nozzle -and-a-half inch
stream was shot up into the air a dis
lance of 125 to 140 feet. The direct,
course Of the stream was greatly inter
fered with by the cross beams and der
rick. With clear way and no wind a
two-and-a -half-inch stream would be
sent 100 feet into the air. So great is the
pressure that pine boards six inches
wide and one inch thick, used as stays
and braces on the derrick fifty feet
above the mouth of the well, were
broken by the force Of the water.
While this nozzle was on, the derrick
which is seventy-fve feet high, was al
most hidden from view by the spray and
lettings of the stream, presenting
sight as beautiful as it was wonderful.

Some days ago fight was advertised
at Seattle between a half grown bear
and bull dog. The bears feet were to
be in mittens and the fight was to be "to
a finish" that is, till one or the other
of the combatants was killed. This ad-
vertisement came to the notice of the
president of the humane society and he
promptly took measures to prevent the
proposed combat.

CONTRIVANCE TOR PRE- or shrink h e
VENTING sHRINKAGE. tires. This pro-
cess is often unsatisfactory because
the weather may continue dry, and rem
der the tire as loose as ever in few
weeks when it will need the same treat
ment again. BY this time the circum-
ference of the tire is much less than it
was at first, so that when the season is
past the felloe will swell to it's normal
size in winter. The effect is that either
the tire is burst or the felloe is twisted
and weakened. This difficulty may be
prevented in most cases by saturating
the felloes with hot linseed Oil. Have
a deep oblong pan made of galvanized
iron of the shape represented in the
sketch. Heat the oil to the boiling
point and pour it into the pan, having
previously arranged the wheel and pan
as shown. Turn the wheel around in
the oil very slowly, SO as to allow the
end of each spoke to be in the Oil at
least five minutes. The oil should be
kept hot, and this can be done better if
a small Oil stove is placed under the
pan. After the felloe is saturated in
this manner the wheel will be stiff and
strong. and it will remain so. This
treatment will prolong the durability of
the wheel as well as prevent loosening
of the tire-American Agriculturist.

FARM AND GARDEN.

IT is better to grow fifty bushels of

else. anything that has been discarded
a number of times may be safely let
alone.

quantity.
BUTTER,is not improved any by keep
ing. Hence the sooner it is got into
the consumers hands the more likely

? Pixies PEAK squash is in the shape of
an old-fashioned olive jar, weighs from
six to ten pounds and it is claimed that
it surpasses the Hubbard in yield.

Coops for Sitting Hens.

AS a precaution against storms and
severe cold, all the coops for sitting
hens should be placed in the poultry
house or under shed. When the hens
come off with their broods the coops
should be carried into the barn during
stormy weather. and they should be SO
constructed as to permit of carrying the
hens and chicks in the coops. No mat
ter how closely a hen may hover her
chicks, she can not protect them in
winter when they are exposed to Sc
we're cold, and the chicks will some
times become chilled during tie day
when they are picking up bits outside
of the coop. All coops for hens with
broods should be well Uttered with cut
hay, and every care used to have them
as warm as can be. When the hen is
sitting, her nest should be in warm
place and her food placed where she
can reach it without being compelled
to go very far from the nest.-FsrT

ing more of it that day. But early the
next morning she was surprised by the
entrance of the young lady.
"What did you mean, madame, by
sending me two hats?" Miss Lambert
asked. "And you deceived me by say
ing that mine was the only one in the
city. They are as much alike as two
peas. Miss Stoll brought me one on
Saturday noon. She said she was i'll
and was going home, and, as she lives
only short distance from us, she was
kind enough to leave my hat on her
way. But, madame, it was a shame in
you to deceive mel"
Madame Louise gasped for breath.
Her explanation was not clear, but it
satisfied Miss Lambert that cruel in
justice had been done to an innocent
girl.

ame.' she laughed. "Why, they could
arrest you for robbing them. Better
send the girls hat back to her, and eat

lively refused to return to her estab-
lishment they never met again. Cir

THE DANCING EASTER SUN.

Quaint Superstitions Among the Children
in Germany and English Peasants.
1t is curious what number of queer
superstitiOns attach to Easter day.
Every one has heard of and wondered
at the quaint notion that prevails in
Germany among the children that the
hare lays the many colored Easter eggs,
and the English have an equally, curl
Gus notion about the sun dancing on
Easter morning.
AS to the origin of the superstition
there appears to be no definite expla-
nation, but doubtless many are familiar
with Sir John Stockings poem, 1.-The
Bride" in which occur the lines:
But OH she dances such wayl
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fine sight,
In support of this belief, the English
peasants will tell you to look at the
suns reflection in pond or other body
of water, on Easter morning, and you
may see it dance. So you may, to be
sure, and so you will on any morning
in the year, if the water stirs ever so
slightly.
In Dunton's "Athenian Oracle oc-
ours the inquiry: "Why does the sun at
his rising play more on Easter day than
Whit-Sunday?"
The question is answered thus:
1.-The matter of fact is an old, weak,
snperstitions error, and the sun neither
plays nor works on Easter day more
than any other. 1t is true it may some
times happen to shine brighter that
morning than any other, but if it does
it is purely accidental In some parts
of England they call it the lamb play
ing, which they look for, as soon as the
sun rises, in some clear or spring water,
and is nothing but the pretty reflection
it makes from the water, which they
may find at any time if the sun rises
clear and they themselves early and un.
prejudiced with fancy"
We are fortunate in living in an age
and country where superstition finds
little Judgment. Easter is beautiful
festival, and serves a useful purpose in
recalling great event in the worlds
history, but there is no use incumbering
it with silly and extravagant ideas,
founded on ignorant beliefs.-Golden
Days.
