A correspondent asks, won't You oblige
by saying why the word book was applied
to muslin."
The idea that book muslin derives its
name from the peculiar manner in which
it is made up for sale, namely, folded in
yards, and each yard doubled in again on
itself in such way that the process OF
opening it strongly resembles the opening
of book, is ingenious but incorrect. The
word has its origin in "Buke" (Which was
enormously written "Book"), the district
in India where it was first made 1t was
not until 1850 that the manufacture of
British muslins became rival to those in
India. India muslins are still famous for
preserving their whiteness. - Brooklyn

4 Wonderful School,

The modern method of teaching differs
from the methods employed a generation
ago. The fathers and mothers Of today
can remember the rattan-how it seasoned
their school days and, like the sword of
Damocles, hung over maps and problems.
The teacher of today is not driver, but a
leader. The teacher is full of ideas, and
the modern methods embodies plan Of
not punishment for i'll doing, but reward
for well doing. The negative government
is replaced by positive government, and
the youthful nature yields to the treat
ment.
In a certain public school in New York
city there are no bad boys-no poorly
dressed boys-no dirty boys-no laggards-
no boys with mud on their shoes-no BOYS
with buttons off their coats-and THE
school is situated not far from a tenement
house district. There is bat one rule in
this school-and that is as Interchangeable
and infieXible as it IS simple
do right because it is right" is the
rule.
There may be other schools Of this ma.
ture, but Of this one l know personally.
Every boy in the school is individualized.
There is a roll Of honor, than which the
book Of the recording angel is not more
carefully kept. Good work is recorded
therein. The keeper Of this book aims to
strike the keynote Of every child's nature
which, once sounded. every fiber of that
nature vibrates in unison. Does a poor
boy need coat or a pair Of shoes, There
is a storehouse Of supplies which never
fails. No ore knows whence the supplies
come, but tEe- come.
This is new element in public school
educatiou.-New York Recorder.

TIL AVIS
Cbristiaasted, St, Croix,
Saturday, 10th Septbr. 1892.

We are glad to see thet the local sanitary
authorities are taking ste S to have all yards
and open spaces in the town put into a clean
condition. The preliminary inspection will
10 doubt reveal some things that require at
teuiion. am the orders to the responsible par
ties which will follow Will effect the needful
improvement 5 Thus the dread of cholera
may become q positive gain to US and the
threatening Of evil may become q good.
While it would be reprehensible to brighten
people about p lsSibilities that may never be-
come anything more, it would at the same
time br equally reprehensible to SHUT our
eyes to the existence Of such possibilities. We
all hope. Of c urse. that Santa Cruz may be
among the places that Will escape; but it is
we'll to remember also that it may not.
Cleanliness III all things is Of the greatest
Importance al such a time, not because dirt
causes cholera, which it does not, but because
there is every likelihood that dirt with mois-
turo affords convenient breeding ground for
the microscope beings which cause the dis
ease. Cholera could not originate here, but
should It come we should like to give it as
little house-room as possible. Among the
things that ought to be done in case such a
great misfortune should overtake us. would
be the boiling Of all water used for drinking.
It seems likely that infected water is the prin-
cipal channel for the spread of the disease
anil the knowledge that the microbes can be
kl ed by boiling will probably check the pro-

noticed that the physicians have recommend

silver Upon Earnings

The majority Of Democrats in the
House Of Representatives, and indeed in
the whole country, are in favor Of free
coinage Of silver There is, however. a
large minority Of that party opposed Ia
the measure, aud will do all they can to
preycnt the passage Of a free coinage
law. The division in the Democratic
party on that question:. which will inev-
itably come, will oe the means Of again
placing the Republican party in power
and guaranteeing TO the country wise
laws beneficial 10 all. The following is
from a staunch anti-silver Democratic
journal
There can be no greater or more in
defensible wrong, nor one more utterly
without remedy than the infection Of
di.hones, or deprecated currency upon
the people who are depositors in banks
or holders Of insuranccs
This class is large fraction of the
wage earners Of this country. including
the great mass Of clerks. statesmen, book
keepers and workers Of this kind Of both
sexes.
These persons are absolutely helpless
in the matter Of the currency in whic
they receive pay. II there is one kind
Of money cheaper than another that will
be the money they will get
The new silver law compe's the Gov
eminent to take the silver of the mine
owners, and FOR every 10 cents of it give
to the owners legal tender notes Of the
United States for 81 This is profit
10 the mineowner over the market price
Of 43 per cent.
Il is loss to the men who are com.
PEELED to receive these notes Of 80 pei
cent; il gives the silver men $40 foi
a.; it forces the creditors to take 81
for $40.
Some have argued that the 20 cen
Bland dollar will be legal tender and
when a working man gets it he passes i
on aud is no worse off than before
The statement is utterly dcceiving
nevertheless. The Eand dollar is le
gal tender for debts. but the wage earn

slways so. lie practically buys for cash
II his purchases are not for cash they are
on short credit. The man who expect,
to be paid in currency worth 20 cents or
dollar will see that he is paid enough
money to make a real dollar
He will therefore ask 81 IS for eacl
dollars worth Of goods The wag'
Garner who gets $40 per week will finc
