The old French philosopher, Montague,
who died four hundred and two years
ago, mad ideas about teaching that are
worth repeating in this period of parrot
learning. He wrote:
Let the master not only examine him
the pupil about the bare words of his
lesson, but also as to the sense and mean
ing of them, and let him Judge of the pro-
fit he has made, not by the testimony of
his memory, but by that of his under
standing. Let him make him put what
he has learned into hundred several
forms, and accommodate it to so many
several subjects, to see if he yet rightly
comprehend it, and has made it his
own,

CURRENT COMMENT.

Governor-elect Woodbury. of Vermont
is said to have under consideration the
appointment to positions on his staff of
one Nermonter resident in New York
and another i'm Boston. believing that
the arrangement would be of great con-
venience in the purchase of stores, etc.
Considering how pretty a governors
staff looks. it must be admitted that he
shows selt-sacrifice in diminishing the
number of gorgeous warriors that will
be habitually present on gala occasions.

He had nursed the hope tenderly that
some day he might win her, but in these
later days hope had almost retired from

True, she still permitted his attentions,
but there was that in her manner which
told him far more plainly than words that
he was losing his grip at the rate of 81 miles

If, indeed, he ever had grip.
On this point, even, he had doubts at
times.
Yet, in it all, there were often CLEANS of
sunshine through the riffs in the clouds,
and he depended on them to revivify the
fading buds of his hope.
He knew that nobody knows what a
woman will do when nobody is expecting it.
She doesn't even know herself.
So it was that one day his utter devotion
to her asserted itself, and he asked her to

ARABIAN AND ENGLISH HORSES,

The relative merits of the Arabian and
English horse has always been a sub
ject for controversy for the last two
centuries, or perhaps longer. About
forty or fifty years ago letter from
Prince Puckler Mus Kau to Count Vel
them appeared in a German newspaper.
The prince happened to own an Arab
or two, and was greatly prepossessed
in their favor, and in his letter he so
far allowed his pen to run that he APP
peared to be prepared to match an
Arab of his over 600 miles within six
days against any English, Mecklenburg,
or any thoroughbred horse. Baron
Biel, well-known racing man of that
day, promptly replied, only STIMULATING
that the winner should be that horse
which at the end of six consecutive DAYS
should have Travelled the longer distance.
Then the prince took council with some
of his friends, and having discovered
that people thought it was by no means
a good thing for the Arab. shifted from
his own point, declaring that he never
intended running an Arab against an
| English horse, but what he did mean
was that no English horse would 90 in
six days as far as many TurcOman
horses had been ridden during the pre-.
datory expedition of that people. The

Baron Bel took up the challenge, but

have occurred of horses being complete

highroads," the baron discreetly cried 4

''to risk valuable horse over such

WHAT HAVE WE GAINeOq

From the HOrseman.
1t is well enough for a convention to
extol enthusiastically the great doings
of this or that great man, and on the
same reasoning it is also well for lovers
of the harness horse to talk of the gigan-
tic strides the trotter is making ever up
ward and onward. Carried away in the
enthusiasm of the moment 1t is very
easy to fit on spectacles of rosy glass
and through them see everything con-
nected with the harness racehOrse in that
soft, delightful color which pleaseth
wild, unreasoning pleasure of the mo-
ment after some great performance has
been achieved on the track by one or
other of the cOuntrys favorite cam
paigners Is one of the horseman's sweet
est joys, and verify the season of 1894
has seen more such pleasing flashes of
time than any other in the memory of
man. But, as we said, it is all very well
to talk in general terms and to say there
is no horse like him on the face of moth
er earth; nevertheless it is always we'll
to follow the teachings of the shrewd
business man and once in while sit
down and figure closely; "What have
we gained?"
Well, what have we gained this seas
on? To begin with, we have gait ed Il
new worlds recorder PAGERS, it is
true, but still it is new worlds record,
and that is giant stride in the right di-
rection. Then we have seen the record
for four-year-olds Clipped away by Fan
tasy from 2 10 10 , ;07, with every pros
pect that it will be still farther reduced
before the leaves fall brown and sere in
the chilly autumn. May we not, too,
say the same of Robert Us wonderful
mark? Again we have seen a siX-heat
race won by a three-year-old tilly in the
fourth, fifth and sixth heats, in time so
surprisingly fast that we all wished the
late Senator Stanford could have lived
to look on and see the wisdom of his
theory that trotters could be bred from
thoroughbred mares so amply and ably
demonstrated. Truly, Expressive is a
wonder. A thIee-year-old flly who
trots fifth heat in 2:l34, beating the
record for her age of the year, and then
goes on and beats a great field of four
teen mature and fast competitors in the
remaining heat is plum not picked of
every tree, no matter how good the
stock or how careful the attention it has
received. Whether Electioneer or
Esther, the running mare, is responsible
for EXpressiye's greatness is of no
moment-the union produced the great
est three-year-old campalgner yet seen,
and surely that is gain enough. Then
we have seen the four-year-old pacing
race record cut down by Online; we
have seen the yearlin9 record for trot-
ting stations reduced to 2 :2G, by Adbell,
son of Advertiser, 2:l54, and Beautiful
Bells, . ;294, and at the same time we
saw his dam, the peerless black daughter
of The Moor, step up into the very fore

and caustic soda in the proportions neces-
