School Teachers in Session.

with just sufficient sprinkling of the male
educator to dlssipate the natural diffidence
of Joseph A. DeBoer as he arose in Capital
hall last Thursday evening to welcome to
Montpelier the forty-second annual meeting
of the State Teachers Association of Yer
mont. On the stage with Mr.. DeBoer were
4: G. Phinney, M. e. Smile, Principal S. j.
Blanpied, and members of the association,
while 200 teachers and a number of Mont
pelier " laity" filed the seats.
Mr.. DeBoer brought from the people of
Montpelier cordial welcome. The school
board had voted the association the use of
the school rooms and appliances for their
sessions, and the Opera-house for the lee
ture by Mr.. Draper. They could have any
thing they wanted and il they lacked for
aught il was their own fault for not asking.
Mr.. DeBoer regretted that circumstances
had rendered his withdrawal from the
association necessary Every man is a
debtor to his profession. To the profession
of teaching one should bring credit and
ornament. The speaker detailed an imagi-
nary conversation between four professors,
illustrating the fact that pupils in district
and graded schools were not properly fitted
when sent TO college. Mr.. DeBoer did not
agree. with the professors; he believed in
the district schools. Vermont would stand
much higher in educational matters if her
Legislatures had been guided by the Teach
ers' Association. President w. E. Ranger
of Lyndon Center took pleasure in respond
ing to Mr.. DeBoer's welcome. The associ-
atoms attention had been called to the
excellence OF Montpelier's schools, and in
behalf Of the association he hoped that
Montpelier would always be the center OF
learning and culture.

Improved Methoas Of warfare.

Recent experiments at the naval
proving ground with a Calling gun at
tached to an electric motor have deter
mined a new method for firing this class
OF ordnance or shipboard. The results
were satisfactory, and hereafter guns
mounted on deck or aloft will be pper-
ated by q motor. Landing parties on
shore will continue to fire the gun by the
usual method. The motor attachment is
an Improvement instituted by DR.. R. J..
Calling, and the plans of the arrange
ment were made by the Crocker-Wheeler
Motor company Of New York City,
who also furnished the electrical appli-
ance. The adoption of the motor will
result in an economy of men and in eff
fort, and will increase the efficiency of
b fro. Where before two men were
required to operate the gatling guns,
only one will be necessary hereafter.
Heretofore one man, the gunner, trained
b gun and dropped the shot where
they would produce the greatest effect,
and another operated the crank which
sets in motion the mechanism of the
piece, By the new system the gunner
alone trains and operates the gun by
touching a button.
The motor is attached to the breech of
the gun and moves with it in all dlrec.
lions. 1t can be detached instantly, the
connection being a specially devised one.
and injury to the motor alone will not
Impair the usefulness of the gun. The
greater steadiness Of application by the
electricity renders the Calling IL more
effective as a piece of ordnance than
when operated by hand. The serving is
as certain and there is increased regular.
lty. These elements have entered into
the new arrangement and given to the
service another use for the electric cur
rent.-Nely York Tribune.

Tribes in the Desert.

Arabs are, as all know, divided into
tribes, which, like the Scotch clans,
take their names from their earliest
head. AS there are in North Britain
MacGregors and Observation-Disclosures is,
sons of Gregor or Of Donald-there
are, in the desert, Benz Shammar, the
sons Of Shammar, and manyother tribes
similarly called after their first ances-
tor. The a~ristocratic families of a
tribe. says the author of "The Holy
Land and the Bible" marry only in a
very limited circle, to keep their wealth
and influence in as few hands as pos.
sible. But the blue-blooded husbands
make up for this by marrying several
wives, leaving the supreme rank to the
one of purest descent. who has the
honor Of giving out the provisions of
the household and of preparing the
meals for her husband and his guests,
a p~rerogatiye which was coded as q
matter OF course to Sarah when Abra-
ham entertained the angels, and was
proudly accepted by her.
If the husband, as is sometimes done,
accepts from a childless wife the gift OF
one of her female slaves as O wife of in.
ferior rank, in the hope that the latter
may have a child whom her mistress
may adopt, the child, until adopted
and formally declared free, is, like its
mother, q slave, and the property OF
the wife, and can be sold or driven out,
as she pleases, the husband, according
to Arab custom, being helpless. Ha-
gar and Ishmael were in this way the
slaves of Sarah, and she was within
her right when she demanded the ex-
pulsion of both from the encampment.

Knee-Breeches and SILK Stockings.

And so knee-breeches and silk stock.
ings are to be the fashion for full-dress
occasions in England this winter. And
why not in America as we'll? Long
have gentlemen in society struggled to
be allowed to make some distinction
between their own dress and that of
the walters. But fashion or custom is
inexorable. A. year or two ago a very
sensible society lady in New York gave
a ball, at, which the gentlemen were
requested to appear in ~variously col
ored garments. The result was charm.
ing, a revival of the days Of Louis and
of the Charleses. But the fashion thus
set, or attempted to be set, did not con
tinue. Why not, no n can tell.
After this one ball was over the Grim
son and blues and puppies were laid
aside and appeared no more, and their
owners reappeared in their somber
"claw hammers" To resume the garb
of our forefathers for ordinary wear
would be an absurdity, but to revive
these graceful and elegant garments
for dress occasions would certainly be
good taste, and could but be favorably
received by the ladies. The revival OF
the silk stockings and breaches in
English society is perhaps a %forerunner
of some such revolution. Already we
of this country are growing sensible in
the matter of summer attire; why
should not>1;e grew sensible as web ID
our garments for social occasions?-
