Poor Man Standing Up For His Rights.

OF course there was "a time-and not
so very long ago-when men were ty-
rants and kept women under. Nova
days the only thing denied them in
polite circles is TO whisk around by
themselves after dark, and pie Nty Of
them do that. The law is giving them,
with both hands, almost everything
they ask for nearly as rapidly as exist
ing inequalities are poined out, and
the right of suffrage is withheld from
them only because the majority Of
women are still averse 10 exercising it.
Man, the tyrant and highwayman,
has thrown up his arms and is allowing
woman 10 pick his pockets. He is not
willing TO have her bore a hole in his
upper lip and drag him behind her
with rope, but he is disposed to con
sent to any reasonable legislative
changes which she desires TO have made,
short of those which would involve mas
culine Disagreement or depreciation. -

ment. Scriptures
The lth chapter of Genesis gives an
account of the confusion of tongues,
which, as fact of racial history, is
true, but as to the manner and cause is
allegoricai. The bible account places
that event after the Hood. Likewise the
history of the race, as written by ge)
logy and archaeology, places the event
after the .Champlain period, or the
flood period of the northern hemiS-
phere. Prior to that time the whole
race occupied the Eurafrican peninsula
extending westward between the gleat
northern ocean and the Sahara sea.

ocean 1t may be, also, that Atlantis.
the mythical island of the Atlantic,
said to have been destroyed by con
vulslOu OF nature, was also one of the
earliest inhabited lands. Certain it is
that the glacial epoch, destroying great
numbers of the race, followed by the
Hood period of the Champlain, nearly
wiped out the race upon the earth
The change in the conliguration of tho
continents and the last great cutaclysm
biblically known as the flood, scattering
the race in different parts Of the world
and in isolated places, in many cases
separating them by impossible barriers,
was the beginning of the differentiation
OF languages, and the event spoken of
in the bible as the confusion of tongues
The myth as 60 the tower of Babel un-
doubtedly has some significance, pro-
badly to some great undertaking which
was interrupted in its inception, by the
dispersion of mankind. The history of
the rocks and ancient remains is too

Lost His ''S0uIe."

1t was only few days ago when Soule,
the Hustler, and his popular clerk, well
known as "Tiny'' Rowe went down to
the river at the rear of the Journal build
ing to give Mr.. Soule's new canvas boat a
trial trip, of course not contemplating
that it would be possible to enter con-
test with the fast American yacht the
Vigilant, but merely to see what pleasure
the little pet craft might afford the Gin
FAINT" seamen.
Now it is understood that "Tiny" was
born and bred in part of Maine where
the pillows roar and the sea foam can any
day be seen along the rugged Shore but
If this was the case either misfortune Wis
tied him or else Mr.. Soule was totally I'M
familiar with craftsmanship
The frail "ship'' was duly launched and
report says that the wine was not poured
in the customary spot when an event of
this character occurs however, that makes
but little difference the boat was pushed
into the swift waters of tho Kennebec and
soon three "souls" were abroad, two by
nature and three by name, one being
twins you might say. Out from the shore
sailed the new craft and when about 90
feet from the bank the disaster occurred
1t was not new leaf that was turned
over but the boat. Perhaps there was not a
vigorous struggle for the shore, despite the
fact that the craft was left to the mercy of
the current Rowe thought he had lost
his "Soule," and the latter did his best
to "Rowe'' for the shore and the Sc
uuence of the misfortune was that both
got very wet aud the boat was duly bap-
tised.

City and County.
TEACHERS MEETING.
Interesting Class Exercise, Papers and Dues.
tion Box at Fridays Session.

The Augusta teachers meeting held
Friday afternoon, at the Grammar schoo
building on State street, was largely at
tended by teachers and educators.
Miss Jeanette Selbing gave a class ex-
ercise in nature study. 1t was interest
ing to observe how a class of primary
scholars could analyze plants, especially
the different facts brought out by minds
young as were this class of 10 pupils.
Miss Stella BARTON read extracts from
superintendent H. S. Tarbell's work or
Training of Teachers. Our elementary
schools should be taught by High school
graduates after taking thorough course
in the training school Tarbell also SAYS
that all High school teachers should have
collegiate education
Miss Florence S. Choate read selections
from Whites School Management. Neat
ness on the part of the student should be
the first requisite in school management.
Accuracy is closely allied to truthfulness
and should also be demanded of the stu
dent. Train the scholars to be accurate
and you teach him to control his will.
The wrongdoer loses self control and not
only Injuries himself but disturbs the
school. The student should be taught to
give attention to the subject before the
class. This is what Mr.. White terms dis
ciplining the school.
Prompt obedience is progress One
disobedient pupil retards progress. School
obedience should be prompt. The student
should not be allowed to pause and reason
with tho teacher, or furnish excuses, but
should cheerfully obey the teacher Home
obedience is vastly different, as the child
should have some time to consider for
himself that he may appeal to the better
nature. In the school the child must obey
at once, in order that the progress of others
may not be retarded.
A question box closed the exercises,
through which many interesting ques-
lions were asked and answered. 1t was
voted not to hold meeting in June, as
the teachers have large amount of work
during that month.
