You are right in regard to the

change. Why should any teacher

A MONSTER AERoLITE.
1t Was Found in Brazil and Weighs Nearly
Twelve Thousand Pounds.

1t Was Found in Brazil and Weighs Nearly
Twelve Thousand Pounds.
In May, 1888, the National Museum
of Brazil came into final possession of
one of the largest meteorites or aero
lites that has ever been known to fall
upon either of the American continents.
The noble specimen weighs II, 500
pounds and originally laid EN- bedded in
the ground neaF Bendege creek, in one
of the most inaccessible portions of
Brazil The cost of transporting it
from the place where it first struck
American soil was betrayed by Baron
Greatly. The survey of the route and
preliminary arrangements occupied
three months; it's journey to the capital
commenced November 25 1887, and it
was nearly five months later be-
fore it was finally landed at the little
railroad depot in the wilderness, from
whence it was transported to Rio
Janeiro. During the four months in
which it was being pulled, pushed and
rolled by man and mule power through
the trackless forests, over steep mount
aims and sandy wastes, it crossed over
100 streams of all sizes. was taken over
one mountain chain s, 700 feet in height,
besides smaller elevations. All of this
in region where the best roads are
only mule paths. A better idea of the
difficulties these scientists encountered
in securing their prize may be had from
knowledge of the fact that total Of
of 172 days were consumed in moving it
from Bendego Creek to the railway sta
tion, distance of only 71115 miles. The
pluck and energy exhibited by these
gentlemen in moving this gigantis air.

MODEL HOME LIFE.
The Plainness and Good Deeds of Mrs,
Rockefeller and Daughters.

The Plainness and Good Deeds of Mrs.
Rockefeller and Daughters.
Mrs. John D. Rockefeller-the wife
of the great Standard Oil King. whose
fortune is estimated at over S100, O00,
0O0 and who is adding to it SO rapidly,
that, if he lives. in few years he will
be the wealthiest man on this continent
is modest quiet, unassuming wom-
an,deVoted to her household, her family
and her home, aud who never figures in
the society newspapers, or in the great
social events of New York. 1t is be-
cause she wills it so She has no taste
or inclination for fast life. Like
her husband, she is member
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church. The Rockefellers live on
West Fifty-fourth street, in New York
City, opposite st. Luke's Hospital; and
the inmates of that place, where so
much misery and sorrow is daily seen,
know Mrs. Rockefeller better than the
habitues of Fifth avenue. Two or three
times week she visits the hospital,
carries flowers and delicacies there for
the poor and sick. and in other ways
tries to bring sunshine into the faces of
the poor unfortunates. She gives away
great deal of money and is always
trying to do good. Her home is not
pretentious. Mrs. Rockefeller's two
daughters employ the services of one
maid. These daughters, Alta and Edith,
have been brought up in the good, old
fashioned way, and have been taught to
wait upon themselves. There are no
powdered flunkies at the door; white
capped maid takes the visitors card,
and Mrs. Rockefeller, if she cares
to see the caller soon appears
in her reception-room. She is her own
housekeeper and keeps set of books in
which every cent expended is accounted
for. 1t is said she can turn back ten
years and tell the exact amount of
money spent in any week of the year.
Her eldest daughter is now the wife Of
Rev. Charles Strong, son of the presi-
dent of the Utica Theological Seminary.
The three daughters were educated at
Vassar, and the eldest one, instead of
spending her allowance for luxuriously-
furnished rooms and rich gowns, kaid
for two years the college bill of pretty
girl from the country who was working
her way through school. 1t is model
American home; there are prayers in
the morning and il the evening, and
sometimes father, mother, and children
gather round the organ in the back par
lor and together sing hymn or two.
Mrs. Rockefeller is perhaps forty-five
years Of age.-Ladies' Home Journal.

"A well-known novelist of this city
was frequently telling how he finds his
plots. II have found nearly all of them
in real life by intercourse with people
in all sorts of society. There are no
plots to be drawn from the imagination
that are equal in interest to those that
can be learned by knowing the actual
experiences of many of our men and
women. Here in New York you can
hear of plenty of loyelorn damsels and
bold swains; you can hear of marvellous
adventures; you can easily find in the
actual ex periences OF your acquaintance
all the material needed for tragicaI

against Cut and Dried Criticism.

The art of criticism is such fine thing
that one must regret it's present tenden-
cY to formulary. Ithas, think, such a
tendency among US, curiously enough
at the very moment when elsewhere
in France at least-it has emancipated
itself into the license of a mere record
of irresponsible impressions. In En-
gland, perhaps, it is equally irreponsi-
BILE, but certainly not impressionist.
With US the novel mainly seems to be
the victim of this tendency. Our critics
do not inquire too closely who they
are-are at the present moment nearly
unanimous in their preoccupation with
prescribing to the novelist from the old
rules of French unity and German OBJ
jeetivity This would be all very we'll
if they were professors in a conservato-
ry where novel-writing was taught, but
it savors distinctly rather of pedagogy
than of criticism. And though peda-
gogy may be more important than criti-
cism, it is at any rate different thing.
The great distinction perhaps between
the two Is that one is mechanical and
the other spiritual. -Scribaer's Maga.
