Beneath the Gloss.

Some one has said that the original
promptings of emotional man and wom-
an can never be unseated We may
conform to conventionalism, bow to the
edict of fashion and yield superficial
homage to the seductions of the classical
in literature, music and art But be
meath this cultivated veneering there
are the innate promptings of heart and
sentiment which only need be reached
to show how helpless are the labors OF
aesthetic culture to drag humanity out
side of itself. Society can feign indiffer-
ence in the things that are distinctly of
and for society. 1t can admire with
critical discrimination and condemn by
the artificial standards which it has
adopted. Within given limit it can
act and Judge in accordance with the
arbitrary rules of its own making. But
1t is when the inner chord is moved
that nature asserts the mastery and
gives play to the universal instincts
which modern training seeks to con-
plaud the accepted forms of dramatic
art, but it is when the divine spark of
pity, love or sympathy is set aglow that
fashion produces the unwilling hand
kerchief and hides the glittering drops
which tell that a touch of nature, not a
triumph of culture, has struck the
depths beneath the social gloss they
wear. The masterpieces of the classic
opera may be presented in the noblest
strains, sagely observes writer in the
Detroit Free Press. and artistic taste
will sound it's braves. but PATHS Home,
lSweet Home" holds the key to more
hearts than augkt else in the repertoire
of the divine interpreter. The highest
attachments or the most stoical philoso-
ply yield to the warmer impulses of our
mature when stirred by the wondrous
power of human sympathy.

Education Not a Science.

ing on the most plastic of materials, and
changing her methods as the state OF
the material gives notice to her practiced
mental eye that change is needed It
is this fact, very truly observes Anna c.
Bracket in Harper's Magazine, which
makes experience of so much value in
the profession, and this which makes
the problem of normal schools SO diff
cult 1t is only the quickened insight
of mind originally fit for the work
which can determine the mental state
to be dealt with at the moment, and
can then select, ont of all the means at
command, the very question or the very
explanation that will enable the child's
mind to take hold of the truth to be
conveyed The maker of Damascus
blades cannot tell you how he knows
that the steel has had exactly the re-
quired amount Of heat. He sees the
color and he knows: that is all
there is of it. If you DO not see
it, he cannot help you, any more than
the laundress can tell you how hot the
iron must be for the material she is go
ing to put it On. She holds it to her
face or touches it with wet finger and
decides. The cook puts her hand into
the oven and says that we must wait a
little longer before setting the bread
in, and she is right. The problem of
real teaching is of this order, only
more complicated because of the ma
terial; for steel and cloth and dough
can be depended on to answer a GER
tain quantity of heat with certain re-
action, while the human mind has left
to it freedom in its way of working,
and no two human minds are alike.
There are no unfailiag rules which can
be given to the incipient teacher, and
no patent methods viii avail. All de-
ponds upon the circumstances at the
very time when she has to act, and those
her instructors cannot by any POSSIBLE
ity know. The only rule without ex-
ception that occurs to me is that she
should never punish when she is angry;
but this would be very slender stock
to go into business with, and the i'm
parting of it would hardly justify a
legislature in building normal schools.

PARrIEs in Pennsylvania have for
some time past been producing a gas
for Illuminating purposes, the quality
of which they claim is far superior for
the use named than any other now
made, and can be manufactured at
about one-haH the cost The result is
reached by means of feeder and q
number of retorts, the latter being
kept at a certain degree of heat, and
the oil is forced through them into a
tank which is kept full of water. By
means of this simple arrangement the
desired object is attained, the gas is
formed by the contact of the heated oil
and water, and from this tank passes on
to another-the supply tank-ready for
consumption.

Reform, in Funerals.

DESTINATIONS funerals are not nearly
as fashionable as they were. The fam
lily of the deceased once almost beg
CARED themselves in their well inten-
toned but mistaken efforts to pay what
they deemed fitting respect to the dead.
Now sensible people think differently,
and except in the case of q public char
acter or some very popular person
funerals are privately conducted and
none but the immediate family follow
the remains to the grave. The excess
sive use of flowers is a thing of the
past, and to most funeral notices please
omit flowers is often appended. A
few loose flowers are carelessly strewn
over the corpse. Demonstrative and
ostentatious grief in public is in exceed
ingly bad taste; constant Wanting of
the virtues Of the deceased and illusions
to the ''sad event are apt to create
WEAKNESS in even intimate friends who
cannot always be sympathetic and con-
solatory. Many people, notably women,
deem it necessary to increasingly in
sdulge in deathbed "reminiscences, and
these should remember that it was not
intended by Providence that ones en-
tire existence should be consumed with
unavailing regrets. The living COM
,mand attention as well as the dead, and
the lives of those who are young and
wish to enjoy existence should not be
bhghted by constant reminders of the

How to Get Ahead.

Some people think that it is necessary
to be mean and misery in order to be-
come wealthy. There never was a
greater mistake. Any man of common
intelligence may be prosperous if he
chooses to labor diligently and faithful
ly in a calling which he thoroughly
understands. Of course, prudence is
indispensable to success-prudence,
mind, not niggard meanneSs. The man
who, commencing with little or nothing,
has resolved to rise, must also resolve
to sacrifice nothing to appearance. He
cannot gain one true friend, nor obtain
any popularity that viii be really use
full to him in his efforts to achieve in
dependence, by endeavoring to seem to
have that which he has not. The world
is shrewder than pretension supposes it
to be. 1t is a curious world-looks
sharply into peoples private affairs,
and if an individual makes a show be-
ryond his means, soon discovers and dis
trusts him. No one who has fortune
to make, or who desires to receive even
a moderate competence, can afford to
incur the worlds distrust. Therefore,
if you are at the foot of the ladder and
want to mount, go up in your work-day
iguise, and don't affect purple and fine
linen

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is anly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets innamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but all infamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.
