| which greatly harm the vine are
destroyed with chemicals. Chemistry
will no doubt reveal substances which
will prolong life by destroying the
poison of disease germs. Some such
substances have been found. By
chemical agencies many valuable
drugs are freed from cheap and often
siye worthless substances, for exam
pie the coal-tar products. Chemistry
gives us the alkalis. as soda i'm all its
compounds, bleaching powder. am
m0nia, etc. Soda has a direct com
mercial bearing on the manufacture
OF soap and glass. Our explosives are
the result of centuries of chemical
experimentation. From il we have
powder, dynamite, nitro-glycerine and
gun-cOtton. The laboratory is capa-
BILE of producing from inorganic mat
ter substances Identical with those ey-
listing in vegetable and animal king
doms. The precious stones may yet
be produced artificially,-in fact some
of them have been produced. But
chemistry can give us more useful
things than diamonds. Modern chem
lists have been able to separate alumni
mum from its compounds, and its
wonderful combination of valuable
properties will make it of the greatest
value to the world. Chemists are try
ing to produce sugar through direct
synthesis. The problem of fuel for
future ages will no doubt be solved by
the chemists. The invention of the
Bessemer process has revolutionized
commerce and added immense wealth
to the world. The science of chemis-
try is but in its infancy destined to
gigantic growth.

A Plea for Nature Study in the Grades.
AGNES III GRANT

AGNES H. dhA AMI.
Careful experiment shows that the
children have done more and better
work in all branches where Science
has been made the basis of the work
than where it has not been so used.
This seems due to several reasons:
first-the children are given some
thing worthy to think about when
out of school ana are enabled to dis
cover new truths for themselves; sec
ond-the parents are brought into
sympathy with the work through the
discussions with the children; third
children have an mate love of nature
which the teacher may use to good adj
vantage in school-wOrk for interest is
essential to learning and the children
can attend only TO that which attracts
them: lastly-Nature Study furnishes
pleasing and profitable busy work,
Cso necessary in Primary Grades) and
through handling, caring for and low
ing the things about them the chill
dren learn the perfect lessons written
in 1.-The manuscripts of God"
1t is necessary to success in this
work that il be carefully planned by
the teacher and that she hold the pu-
pills to this plan.
Much may be done i'm connection
with these lessons toward developing
taste for good literature, for when
the interest is at its height the chill
dren welcome the prettily worded
thoughts of the author and make
them their own. Often these memory
gems create an appetite for more lit
erature of the higher class.

1t is unquestionably admitted to be
necessary that a man should have an
aim in life; but that it is necessary
for woman is not so generally con-
coded. Many important reasons and
instances show that it is advantageous
for a woman to be trained for some
definite pursuit in life, then if circum-
stances do not compel her TO apply
her skill in earning money, she can
help on mankind by directing her
efforts i'm other lines. The number of
callings open to women are widening
every year, and greatly influencing
competition in various lines, and the
girl should study that calling for
which she is naturally best fitted the
same as boy should. To be prepared
for the emergencies that may come
to ALL the loss of wealth, helplessness
of parents and kindred calamities is
the duty of every Young woman. Why
not then have the girls learn some
thing that has commercial value.
and thus enable them to be self-sup-
porting and perhaps save them from
being driven into wedlock which may
prove the source of much unhap-
piness.

Fataliann
BEss APP ROBERTS


Fatalism, the belief that all things
happen by inevitable necessity, was
the universally accepted belief of all
ancient peoples. This abstract force
was usually embodied in the ''three
spinners, who were guided i'm their
DEGREES by the contents of the Sibyl-
line books. The prophecies of the
oracles and sibyls, dreams, and vari-
Gus phenomena were believed to be
omens forewarning men of their des-
TIMES. The works of ancient authors
are full of instances showing the use
lessness of striving against Fate, and
the calamaGies resulting from any op-
position to it by either men or gods.
In the Middle Ages the spirit of Fatal
ism was adopted by the astrologers,
who, because men so fully believed
their prophecies, exerted great inilu-
ence over private and national affairs
In modern times there is found not
only a remnant of Fatalism in few
religious bodies, as Preordination, but
some traces of it in every person.
For instance the belief in fortune
telling; the belief in dreams; the
superstitions regarding Friday, thir-
teen, and The moons changes. How
easy it would be to live without re-
responsibility, believing our lives to
be governed by Fate. But is it not
better for us that we must make our
own futures?

DRY gems they learn in connection
with their work contributing TO this
end. School being pleasant place
the little people are not willing to be
absent. While they are learning to
distinguish colors and to arrange
them tremendously they learn lessons
of neatness, accuracy and invention.
The children, having become inter-
ested in color, continue their obser-
yations and carefully observe their
surroundings, thus build up the habit
of Investigation. The ability to dis
tinguish colors and TO combine them
has a commercial value. Suitable
colors in clothing or in the decoration
of a room add to our happiness.
The appreciation of the beautiful
is of moral value, the splendor of the
sunrise, the sunset or the rainbow
lifting us Godward. Since the inn
preston of color is one of the earliest
we receive. and since we have every
where an abundance of beautiful
color, we are not without this infiu-
ence at any period of our lives.

The Progress of Chemistry.


Chemistry is not only TO be studied
in laboratory, but is manifest in the
changes in the composition of sub
stances all about us. 1t is broad
science. Chemical action causes
chemical compounds. These COM
pounds depend on chemical affinity.
If this affinity did not exist most
things familiar to us would not exist.
Water would be simply oxygen and
hydrogen. Life would disappear, for
instead of organized bodies there
would be hydrogen, oxygen, carbon,
etc. The past is indicative of the
future. To rightly surmise the flu
ture of chemistry we must study the
past.
Chemical research is divided into
three periods. 1t has always aimed
to be practical, even the ancient
Egyptian alchemists attempting to
make the precious metals. They sue
ceeded in making alloys of the baseI
metals. 1t led men TO see that sup
posed supernatural agencies could be
traced TO natural causes. The discoy
cry of oxygen gas is landmark in
the science. Modern chemists pro

of a review of the history of Wisconsin
while it was part OF the Northwest
Territory, and showed that the ami
mostly between the English, French
and Indians, on the one hand, and the
Americans on the other, was the effort
of the English to preserve the Wis
consin forests for the fur trade against
the establishment of American agri'
cultural settlements.
Then the description of the capture
of Prairie du Chen by the British
was given. This was the important
event in Wisconsin during the war OF
1872, because this settlement con-
trolled the western outlet of the Fox
