At the end Of his term he was made

the vessel being captured nfiy-nine
miles from land. Cooper, after lodging
this appeal, reconsldered the sitiaiion
aud Withdrew II, on the ground that
by reason Of non:jurlsdictionthe decree
Il the court was n nulli,y, and the case
properly belonged 10 international
diplomacy. II was expected that the
mandate Of the supreme Court to the
cour. Of Alaska would be TO enforce liz
decree. II Will be remembered that
about one year ago this appeared Ike
ly to be critical stage In the dispute.
About that time Sir John Thompson,
Atiorney.ucneral for Canada took up
the matter and TO the surprise
Of both Canadians and Americans
brought the case before the u. 5.
Supreme Court, with her Majesty
virtually as one PARTY 10 tho litigation.
And as an individual, Thomas Henry
Cooper Is not known In the case nj
present. However, ut the time that
Cooper withdrew his appeal to the
higher court, II was distinctly stated
by several papers that II was clearly at
tho suggestion OF his government.
And when later on Calderon Carlisle,
Sir John Thompson's counsel, renewed
the appeal, Attorney General Miller
was 30 taken aback that he required
two weeks from the Supreme Court to
consider the matter.
The appeal was duslly entertained
and tho revelations In the court day
or two ago indicate that controversy
which had at times very threatening
aspect Is now all but peaccably settled.

Rapid Transit in New York.

A school inspector who is rather fond
of finding fault with the teachers in his
department was visiting one of the
primary public schools, when the female
teacher in charge asked number of
urchins the following question, "Now,
children, if you had boat at Buffalo,
and wanted to get it out on the ocean as
soon as possible, and the distance by
canal to salt water was $50 miles, and
by the st. Lawrence river / ,122 miles,
which would be the shorter way to
bring it?' The children were puzzled.
This was rather irritating, in the pres
ence of the inspector. "Why, you stupid
little things" began the teacher.
Zone moment, Miss B, said the
inspector rising. II have found that
teachers do not take enough pains to
simplify the questions that they ask Of
children. It is very important, too,
that analogies should be drawn from
their personal experience. If more pains
were taken in this respect, and an ap-
peal made to the reason of the pupils,
not only yourself, Miss B, but a
great many other teachers would sue
ceed much better.
Nov, children, it is only two blocks
to the Third avenue elevated road, but
1t is eight blocks to the Sixth avenue
road. Now if you wanted to get to an
elevated road in hurry to which would
you go?" "To the Third avenue road, I"
shouted the children in triumph. Ser
tainly," said the inspector smiling, "be-
cause it is the nearer. Now then, if
you had boat at BufaIo, and wanted
to reach the ocean in a hurry, which
way would you take it?" The children
thought minute, and then burst out
simultaneously, "By the Third avenue
road!"-New York Tribune.

Governing children.

Parents have proudly told me of sick
ening battles with their children, will
pitted against will, till at last the strong
er physique gained the mastery, and the
child's twill was broken" Such vic
tories are worse than defeats. / have
seen father and his little boy stand
pitted against each other, with a look in
each face that could call nothing but
hatred; and when / thought Of the
power of the one and the helplessness Of
the other l could not but admire the
boys pluck. There should be no such
occasions. The parent stands convicted
of utter stupidity in finding himself in
any such situation.
There arc times when it is wiser for
the parent to ignore some mood on the
child's part. The part of the parent
should be in ever seeking the wise
opportunity to impress the child with
the virtue that is the reverse of
some fault it falls into. Children pass
through various phases, and some dragon
of fault that one has been worrying
over and planning against suddenly van
ishes into thin air and is no more. Some
times one fixes fault by noticing it too
much. 1t becomes an expression of
nervousness. The child repeats fault
through an inability to pass over it. It
becomes like hard word in the spelling
book that he has met before. He recog-
nizes the word without knowing its
name, and at the same moment remem-
bers his struggles with it, and the pain
full impression fills him with nervous
ness, his mind becomes confused and he
cannot control his thought. It is wise
with fault, as with the hard word, to
let it 60 to escape it, Omit the hard
word; avoid anything to excite the ha-
bitual fault. Presently the child for
gets the fault. 1t may be said that in
judicious parents often create their chill
dren's faults. .-Harper's Bazaar.
