There is one county in Georgia

Kant's Relaxations.

The only relaxation Kant, the cele-
brated German philosopher, allowed HIM
self was a walk, which he invariably
took during his life at Koenigsberg at
about the same hour every afternoon.
His usual stroll was along the banks of
the Pregel toward the Freidrich's fort,
and in these walks he was always care
full observer Of the phenomena of nature
He told his friends one day how, as he
passed certain building in his daily
walk, he had noticed several young
swallows lying dead upon the ground.
On looking up he discovered, as he
fancied, that the old birds were actually
throwing their young ones out of the
nests. 1t was season remarkable for
the scarcity of insects, and the birds
were apparently sacrificing some of their
progeny to save the rest. ''At this" "
added Kant, my intellect was hushed.
The only thing to do here was to fall
down and worship"
Another great philosopher, Bishop But
Ter, used to take his recreation, accord
ing to one of his chaplains, in some
what singular manner He would walk
for hours in the little garden behind his
palace at Bristol sin the darkest night
which the time of the year could af-
ford. ."-Chambers' Journal.

The Little Red scboo,bouse.

The essential value of teaching, from
the district school up to the university,
lies, | believe, in the contact of mind
and character between the teacher and
taught, and if this be SO, then the little
red schoolhouse, with its single teacher
and few pupils, is better institution
than the big schoolhouse, with so or
more scholars to the teacher and occa-
sional visits from other skilled instruct
ors. Were | school committee man
or an overseer of Harvard college, l
would ransack heaven and earth, if pos
sible, to find teachers with some origi-
nality of intellect and with that force
and virility of character which impress
themselves upon the plastic minds and
hearts Of young people. And, having
found them, should trouble myself very
little about courses" and textbooks and
laboratory implements.
| venture to state this as general
proposition: Wherever teaching has been
recognized as peculiarly successful,
whether in schools or universities, the
success has been due to the ability of the
instructor and not to the excellence of
the system under which or to the rich
ness of the appliances through which he
worked.-Outlook.

A Conversation by Noted Authors.

II never heard distinguished people
talk among themselves but once, de-
clared young lady the other day, "but
, then was quite satisfied. 1t was even
more interesting than had expected"
"What did they talk about?" asked
her companion curiously, land who were
they?'
The young lady named them-two
noted authors, gentleman and lady.
"And they talked" she added. with a
smile, .about pokers."
"Pokers?" calculated the friend incred-
ulously.
''Pokersw repeated the first speaker
firmly. The authoress had just built a
new house. and her furnace did not
work well. She thought her companion
had one of the same kind in the house
and asked about it.
HE gave her information and advice,
and then they branched off to pokers

make them of soft iron so that they bend

In an instant l was on the alert, but

down again. In about five minutes he

Troubles we must have, you know, Gernaine;
Then you're fool to let temper rise.
What though your hair bo a crown of fame,
Need you enkindle my hate to fire2
Hove herl Yes and that's why she came.
So you mey stifc your futile ire.
Deep are her eyes as the dusk, Germaine,
Deep as the dusk and of mournful brown,
Smiles like the faintness Of musk, Germaine,
Brows like o queens, but too soft to frown.
After your passionate love and hate,
Sweet, full sweet, will her mildness be.
Like cooling winds when the day dies late
Like harbor after stormy sea.
There, will you never be still, Germaine?
Strange that you're woman enough to cry.
What you would strike me to kill, Germaine2
Taste my good blade for your pains-and diel
Here ye are, mon, with the other one,
Yes, dead is Germaine, as ye see.

A ghost story is told which hinges up
on the disaster to the British warship
Victoria. 1t takes the familiar form of
the ghost on the stairs and is as follows;
At Lady Tryon's party, given on the
evening of the fatal collision between the
Victoria and the Camperdown, well
known lady saw the figure Of Sir George
Tryon on the stairs and watched it pass
down into the refreshment room. Lady
- was surprised, and coming across a
friend told her what she had seen, add
ing, 81 must go and tell Lady Tryon
what a pleasant surprise she has given
us all, and l must find Sir George to
speak to him." Upon this the second
lady, who is also well known in society,
said; do not say anything to Lady Try
on. l saw Sir George, too, and l spoke
to her, and she seemed annoyed. She
says that Sir George is not here. He is
with his ship. Exchange.

Two EemarkahIa Cures.

An old Irish woman's cow was sick
unto death. so she turned to the priest
to save it. II can't do anything to keep
your COW from dying" he said impa-
tiently.
Faith an lhgorra it's you that can if
any one can" the answered in simple
faith.
Unwilling to have her reverence in
him shaken. the old man went to her
cabin. The sick COW was brought out
into the yard and propped up. then the
priest began a solemn march around it,
chanting monotonously, IF you die, you
die; if you live, ycu live" When at last
the tired priest sat down, the COW was
reviving, and it afterward lived to
green old age. Some years later the
priest was at the point Of death with
terrible quinsy, when the old Irish wom-
an presented herself at the house and
told the doctor she could cure him.
She was laughed to scorn. but at last
had her own way. She insisted upon
having the dying mans bed brought ont
into the middle of the floor. and around
it she slowly cantervd, singing, ''If you
live, you live. and if you lie you die
The humor of the situation ticklel the
suffering priest SO that hearty laugh
broke the qninsy, and he also lived--to
a green old dage. Springfield Homestead
