An Engine on a Gold Piece.

The smallest engine we have any
record of is that made by D. A. Buck,
Of Waterbury, ct. The engine,
boiler, governor and pumps all stand
on space ZIG of an inch square and
are about 5 of an inch high. The en-
CINE has 14S distinct parts, held to-
gether by 50 screws. Three drops OF
water fill the boiler to overlooking.
The diameter of the cylinder is 1-26
of an inch, the length of stroke 332
of an inch. The whole engine weighs
but three grains, not including base
plate.
Lee Taylor, an ingenious mechanic
of Indianola, Iowa, has constructed,
says an exchange, an engine almost
equal to the Waterbury wonder. This
pigmy was on exhibition at the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia in 1876. 1t
is built on a twenty-five cent piece,
the whole outfit weighing but a frac-
tion over three grains. ID

Geography.

Don't make too much of your text
book when teaching geography. 1t is a
wise teacher who can make judicious
selection of facts worth teaching to his
pupils. The textbook should supple
ment the teachers instruction; it should
not be the sole source of information
and inspiration. Dr.. Elliott said: Most
of the biographies contain an extraor-
binary amount of matter not only use
less to the few who can master it but
injurious to the many who cannot.
Teach geography to your pupils as
you wish it had been taught you when
you went to school. - Goldthwaite' s
Geographical Magazine.

Scrap Books FOR Country schools,

AS you are to teach geography and
history and as rule will have no refer
ence books, you should make at least
three. If you have any money for this
purpose, buy three large invoice books
from a book store. II no funds are
available, you can probably secure from
some patrons some old reports from
some of the State or national depart
ments: From these cut out every sec
ond and third leaf, pasting your scraps
on the remaining pages. Or you can
buy regular scrap book from store.
Use one book for geography, including
descriptive, physical, and mathematical,
another for civics, history, and civil gov
eminent, not only of the United States
but of all things bearing upon its his
tory and government, and another for
general information
Now, when we have the books and
paste or mucilage, of course, the real
work begins. Do not undertake to fill
the books at once. Sift everything care
fully. Envelopes may be kept in the

A Powerful Argument.

A Chinaman was the subject of the
annoying attentions of a hoodlum on
an uptown train on the Sixth avenue
road last night. Across from him sat
a gentleman accompanied by his wife
who felt that something should be
done to cause the man to desist from
such manifestations of his exuberant
spirits such as fitting the Chinaman's
hat over his eyes, pulling his cue,
punching his ribs, and so on, to which
the Celestial made no response and
offered no resentment. The gentle
man, small of stature, finally determ-
ined to put stop to it, and, assured
that the guard did not propose to
interfere, requested the man to desist.
This elected an impudent reply, and
a desire to know what he proposed to
do about it. Finally, angered beyond
control, the gentleman began to re-
move his gloves, and had one partially
off when a stalwart negro, who had
been a silent, interested spectator of
the scene, stepped up and remarked:
"Yous needn't take off your gloves,
sab. I'll just attend to this business
myself, sab. Pardon me, sah." And
with this he took seat alongside the
meddlesome tough with quiet, bust
ness-like air, and there wasn't any
more trouble all the way up the road
and they all have travelled together
to Harlem.-New York Recorder.

An Old Dwelling.

According to information gathered
by a correspondent the Oldest inhab-
tied dwelling house in the United
States is that of Killian Van Rens
selaer, opposite Albany, New York.
1t is of brick, with gambrel roof.
The front wall contains two port
holes, out of which the early inhabit-
ants used to shoot at the Indians.
According to plate in the rear, set
up by the Albany Commemorative
Society, the building was erected in
1912. The Dutch Reformed settlers
held religious services in the old hall.
There is a we'll behind the house,
which legend names as the place
where yankee Doodle" was composed
during the French and Indian war.

Valuable Suggestions.

Guard against the tendency to assign
too long lessons at the beginning of the
year. Ambitious pupils are overworked
and soon get discouraged.
Let signals be very quiet.
Inform the parents through the pupils
that they are always welcome in the
school room. Dissatisfaction may often
be removed by a visit from parent.
Do not send pupils to the principal or
superintendent for small offenses. Dis
cipiine them yourself.
Avoid the spy system in securing dis
cipline. Allow no tattling.
Hold your pupils responsible for what
you see, and not for what others say
they saw.
Desks and window stills were not made
for teachers or pupils to sit upon.
The teachers chair should not be oc-
cupied all the time.
The control Of school involves self
control. Remember you can I8ver ex-
hibit 'vexations before your pupils with
out losing their respect
Avoid hasty remarks They are sure
to be repeated in such a way as to cause
you modification.
If you cannot speak we'll Of your CO.
laborers, say nothing.
Study something outside of your
routine work Do not rest contented
unless you are conscious Of mental
growth.

TIE BOTTLE IMP.
An English Hoax that Was Repudiated a |
Century and a Half Ago.

An English Hoax that Was Repudiated a
Century and a Half Ago.
The bottle-imp hoax was one of the
most gigantic of the many hoaxes and
impostures played on the English peo-
pie during the eighteenth century,
says American Notes and Queries.
The Duke Of Montague, in the year
1749, laid a wager with another noble
man that if an mposter, advertising
that he could jump'into quart bot
tie should come along, all London So
ciety would flock to see the wonder.
In order to decide the bet the follow
ing advertisement was put In all the
papers:
cat the new theater in the Hay
market on Monday next, the 10th
inst, is to be seen a person who per-
forms the several most surprising
tricks following viz: First, he takes
a common walking-cane from any of
the spectators, and thereon plays the
music of every instrument now in use.
Secondly, he presents you with a
common wine bottle (Which any of
the spectators may first eXamine); he
then places the bottle on table in
the middle of the stage, and he with
out any equivocation goes into it in
sight of all the spectators. While in
the bottle he will sing all the popular
songs of the day. During his stay in
the bottle any person may handle it
and see that it does not exceed a
common tavern bottle in size"
This advertisement excited the GU
riosity Of the people, and on the even
ing mentioned a prodigious number
of people gathered in and around the
Haymarket. Royalty went in dis
guise and beggars in their everyday
clothes. Not more than half the
crowd, the account says. could find
seats in the great building. Finally
the supposed conjuror appeared on the
stage. The majority of these conf
IDENTIFY expected to see him soon in the
odd-shaped bottle sitting on the ia
BILE. Not until he brazenly told them
that if they would pay double fare he
would go into pint bottle instead Of
a quart did it dawn upon them that
they had been sold. A general row
ensued, during which masks were re-
moved by force and many aristocratic
features exposed.

LlNcoLN,s FIRST DOLLAR.

what the President Considered the Most
Important Occurrence in His Life.
One evening in the executive cham
Der there were present a number of
gentlemen, among them Mr.. Seward,
says the National Stockman. A point
in the conversation suggesting the
thought, Mr.. Lincoln said: Seward,

my first dollar?"

to what they called down South, the
scrub. People who did not own land
or slaves were nobody there. But we
had succeeded in raising, chiefly
by my labor, sufficient produce, as I
thought, to justify me in taking it
down the river to sell. After much
persuasion [ got the consent of my
mother to go and constructed a fiat
boat large enough to take a barrel or
two of things that we gathered, with
myself and little bundle, down to
New Orleans. A steamer was coming
down the river. We have, you know,

sengers were at any of the landings,
for them to go out in a boat, the
steamer stopping and taking them on

modestly, L do will you take us
and our trunks out to the steamer?'
