Muscular Christianity.

ut is strange how small thing will
make clergyman immensely popular"
said minister connected with Trinity
parish to New York Commercial Adj
vertiser reporter, "but the manner in
which young clergyman sprang into
prominence was truly remarkable, and
now he is rector of one of the leading
Episcopal churches in Orange. As
soon as he left college, he being an
active man and the champion athlete of
his college, he set right down to hard
work. He had for his first charge
small East side mission, which was
like ray of sunshine among the dark,
murky tenement houses Some young
men who attended the mission belonged
to an athletic club, and, as their min
lister entered into all their social affairs
with vim. it was not long before he re-
ceived an invitation to attend a scrap
He went, and before he left he boxed
beat them all. The clubs best boxer
was absent then, but the members ex-
tracted promise from the young min
lister that he would go around and spar
with their star man. The only stakes
was promise that if the clergyman
lost he should become member of
the club, which was offset by a promise
that if he won all the members of the
organization would attend the church
for month. The night of the fight
came round. and there was a large
crowd of East side sports who went to
see the parson licked. Three rounds
were sufficient to prove that muscular
Christianity, represented by the minis
ter. was victorious The result was
that the men of the sporting club paid
their bets by going to church regularly.
Many of them 60 now, and the church
is fourishing one"

ST. VALENTINES day is on the wane
In the larger cities the regulation lace
and filigree valentines are now very
sparingly sent. Those who observe the
present fashion in the matter of valen-
tines either do not send any valentine
at all, or else send box of candy, a
bouquet, or, rarely. a card valentine,
plain but expensive. This has been the
custom with the fashionable people OF
New York for at least half a dozen
years But there are still numerous
patronizers of the ordinary valentines.
many of which this year are unusually
artistic and beautiful

Individual influence.


There is much to encourage and for
tify in the following little sermon from
the pen of a New York Ledger writer,
and each one of us might profit by
the advice it contains if we would give
It trial:
''Some people fall discouraged on the
highway of life because they cannot be
this or that great or eminent person.
Why should they not be willing to be
themselves? No person is without in
fuence. Why not make the most Of
what you have? Since you cannot grasp
that which you wish, why let what you
have slip through your fingers? No per-
son in the world is exactly like you.
You have your own faults, but you have
also your own excellencies, individual
to yourself. Give them air. Because
you are not poet, should you not be a
good merchant? Because you cannot
go to college, should you therefore for
swear the alphabet? Because you cam
not build a palace, should you not re-
joice in your own humble roof, and that
because it is your own? viii not the
sun also shine into your windows if you
do not obstinately persist in shutting it
out? If you cannot have whole hot
house full Of flowers, may you not have
one sweet rose? Accept thankfully
whatever blessings you have and try to
make the most Of them"

There is no science of education
There are many theories, and there
is an art of education. Every true
teacher is and must be an artist, work.
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 1t
is this fact, very truly observes Anna G.
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 It 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, out of all the means a
command, the very question or the very
explanation that will enable the child'a
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 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 unfailing rules which can
be given to the incipient teacher, and
no patent methods will 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 inn
parting of it would hardly justify .
legislature in building normal schools.

WITH the progress that has been made
in the manufacture of sugar in Louisi-
ana it has come about that molasses is
now regarded almost as a waste prod
uct. There is no market for the lower
grades, and tens of thousands of gallons
are thrown away. A New Orleans in
ventor proposes to use this waste mo-
lasses for fuel In connection with wood
or wood fiber molasses burns with q
high heat, and by sprinkling it on dried
bagasse (the refuse of cane after the
juice has been pressed out) an excellent

PARTIES in Pennsylvania have for
some time past been producing 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-half the cost The result Is
reached by means Of feeder and a
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 il
formed by the contact of the heated oil
end water, nd.from this tank passes on
to another-the supply tank-ready for
consumption.

WELL-INFoRMED lumbermen declare
that there is more timber in the forests
of Maine to-day than there was ten
years ago because care has been exer.
cised in the telling of trees during re-
cent years Only good-sized trees are
cut nowadays, the smaller being al
lowed to stand until they attain a
proper growth. A great amount Of
pulp wood is cut on second growth
tracts, but in lumber operations no
small trees are felled There is less
destruction by fire now than formerly.

Another California Industry.

California is not content with pro-
:ducing her own wines, but is becoming
ambitious to grow her own corks. The
wonderful climate Of the country makes
almost every kind of culture possible.
and that the proposed step is prac-
ticable is shown by the evidence of
many tall and vigorous cork oak now
growing in various localities in the
state. A considerable quantity of cork
bark of the finest velvety quality, the
product of q Chico property, was re-
Gently sold in the San Francisco mar
ket. In Amador county is cork tree
thirty-two years ago, the bark of which
is Of the very best quality of velvet
cork" 1t would appear that the soil
and climate of California are better
adapted to the growth of cork oak even
than those of Spain and Portugal That
few among the earlier settlers in Cali.
fornia may live to see the production of
cork as an article of manufacture and
commerce attain any considerable de-
gree of Importance may be true. but it
is equally beyond dispute that it is the
duty Of the present generation to plant
the seed that posterity may reap the
harvest. From this point of view it is
now suggested that the state, through
its legislative and executive authority.
shall take early action in the matter of
fostering the planting and cultivation
of the cork tree.
