An Able Paper.

We cannot too heartily commend the
strong able paper on Methods in Latin, -
read before the hennebec County Teach.
ers' Association at Wsterville. yesterday
by Prof. Parsons OF this city. 1t is a
strong sensible presentation of truths
in reference to the methods of classical
instruction so long in vogue, that have
been growing more and more patent to
educated and thinking men. The
result has been to largely diminish
the old time prestige OF Greek
and attn in the curriculum of
liberal education. Professor Parsons
states the difference between the old and
new methods concisely and admirably
when he says that under the old dispen-
sation the student was made for the gram
mar while under the new the reverse is
the case. The attention of the student il
directed to the language aud he is brought
at one into sympathetic appreciation
Of its beauties. The grammar he uses
As a book Of reference. Its study is not
made the aim and almost the end of his
classical study,
There Is good deal of force in Prof.
Parsons query, "Did you ever stop to
think how absurd r thing 1t Is that
bright boy should study Latin for five
or six years and be unable at the end Of
that time to translate an ordinary Latin
sentence from passage be has not seen
without frequent reference to diction
ary;"
Sure enough 1t is an absurd thing,
and the reason OF 1t is because
the boy has been burdened and be
wildered by perfect wilderness of
side issues. that tend to prevent a
mastery of the language. The old sys
TEN has been one of examining: au at
tempt TO transform the students mind
into an encyclopedia Of classical facts,
including the personal history and
achievements OF all the chsrac
tiers Of mythology. This has been
grave error, an educational
fallscy whose bad results are now eom
ing to be more ard more clearly CON-
pretended. The -uggestion- made I, r
Latin instruction by Prof. Parsons
are excellent. They are in the line of
good common sense, and must bring
about good results wherever employed,

A Very rl.u.,bl. Story.

If the funny men may be believed,
some newspapers have ''horsc edit
ors," some have ssbear editors and
some have s'snake editors" The fol-
lowing story, taken from the New
York Sun, will doubtless lead the
reader to infer that that estimablc
paper has Il very able bull editor upon
its staff:
There was once prosperous farm
er whose ambition was to exhibit
at the county fair the biggest
bull, but for several successive
years his bull had been %outweighed
and outsized by a bull shown by Il
farmer from the other end of the
county.
So in the early spring he set out
and Travelled the country eve until.
he found a bull of enormous frame
that promised to take on flesh easily:
took him to mis- own farm, and turned
him into a "luxuriant clover patch
extending from the farmhouse back
to the river, where he fed the bull so
successfully with mush and other fat
tening feed tnat in the fall he OUT
weighed by several hundredweight
the biggest animal that the rival
farmer had ever exhibited.
But, as luck would have it, on the
day before the fair was to begin, this
noble bull was taken with wind collie,
Il malady which often afiicts overfed
bulls and babies, in q form so severe
that the farmer, almost beside him.
self with anxiety, caught up the fami-
ly dinner horn and thrust it deep
down the throat of the distressed
animal, whereupon the escape of wind
from the creatures overloaded and
inflated stomach caused the horn to
give forth a mighty and continued
blast, which SO frightened the bull
that he began to back, and did not
cease until he had backed into the
river, where the water ran into the
horn and sank him.
And thus the mammoth bull was
| drowned.

his bill now before Congress, would re-
about $4,000, 600. To make up this de-
fciency would require an additional inn
portation OF wool manufactures to the
value of $50, 100000. They would con-
tain from 2OO,0OO,OOO to 25O,OOO,O 900
pounds of raw wool, which would mar
row the American farmers market by
that amount.
If importations of raw wool were
maintained at last years fpure-and
under free wool they probably would
increase = $4,000 600 pounds would
come in manufactured. Add the
wool contained in u normal importa-
ton of manufactures, $$443, OOO, 900 worth
last year. and we have i29, 900 600
pounds more,. o nearly 5OO,OOO,OUO
pounds all told, which would come in
from abroad to supply the American
demand for wool. Since we consume at
a liberal estimate only 6OO,OOO,OO)
pounds of wool annually, there would
be left a demand for not much more
than 100, 1000, 900 pounds of American
wool. Since this country produces over
3OO,O00,0O0 pounds, it is plain that al
most two-thirds of our entire product
would have to go begging for a market.
Such an enormous surplus would send
prices 80 low that destruction of our
fociSs would be commenced at once

but he had money, as a f1fty-dollar bill
in his hand testified. He looked up
and down the car a minute and then
started down the aisle.
81 say, my FRIEND" he remarked to
q well-to-dO-farmer, 81 need some
change badly, and If you will give me
S45 for this $50 bill it will be an ac-
commodatiOn to me-"
The farmer didn't more than. look
lp when he shook his head and said
ne was short OF change.
"All right" chirruped the young
one. and passed on to a man who was
enthusiastically a city broker.
'.ssCan you give me $45 in change Tor
this $500" he asked sticking the bill
out at him.
The broker glanced at it a minute
and was sorry he couldn't accommo-
late him.
He smiled pleasantly and went on
to a smart young drummer from New
York apparently
elf you've got $4Osfn change and
will let me have it for $50, it's yours"
he said laying it down before the
drummer.
The travelling man looked up with
a SLY wink.
"Come off, cuTly,r he said famil-.
iarly. IL guess you're not onto my
curves. Suppose you try that hay
seed in the other end of the car"
The man with the fifty only smiled
and went on to the next man, to
whom he offered it for s35, and then
to the next at $50 and to the next at
5s25, in each instance meeting with !.
refusal to negotiate. Then he made
Il general offer to anybody in the a
to sell that $50 bill for $50 in change.
and then he dropped to $40, but still
no takers.
There is no telling what he would
have offered it at il the train boy
hadn't come along just in the nick of
time.
s'Here boy," he, said to him. "I
want 50 worth of novels if you can
change this $50 bill"
The boy took it, examined it briefly,
and remarked: "Cert, mister. Wait
till l go git it changed"
In five minutes he returned with
a handful of tives, tens, ones and
twos, took out his 50 for his novels,
and the spruce young fellow. with u
broad grin at everybody in sight, sat
