I think it necessary not only for
the child to learn printed word
pictures but also written word pic
lures. As there are very few good
reading charts in the country
schools the teacher may use black
boards extensively 10 great advan-
tare in teaching written word pic
lures described above. The pupils
should be required to rewrite the
word pictures again and again till
thew learn to write, for as soon as
the child learns a word picture he
should learn to make it.

After beginners, grade comes the

connected with reading come spell

smelling in writing words, il is

TO smell and define words by wri-

with other words in a sentence or

shonld be taught in defining that

can be substituted for the word

The MEMPHIS CONVENTION.
rREE SILVER Or BUST.
Democracy intact
The Administration Lambasted.

MEMFr1s, Tenn, June 13.-Not-
withstanding the cloud that for a
moment threatened to darken the
horizon of the free silver conVen-
tlon of Southern and Western
States, in the shape of the boltlng
of prominent Democrats because of
the abolition Of party lines by one
or two of the speakers, the end was
harmony and there was no fight
over the resolutions after they were
read to tbs convention, for the rea-
son that they carefully avoided
any reference calculated to pro-
duce discord. The resolutions'ad-
vocatc the free and unlimited coin
age OF gold and silver, at the ratio
OF 16 10 /; declare that interna-
tional cooperation is not necessa-
", and attribute the recent hard
times entirely TO the demonetiza-
ton Of silver.
Although nothing was said in
the resolutions about the abolltion
of party lines proposed by Messrs
Sibley, Stewart and others, the
speakers of the day, almost with
out exception, took care to assert
their Democracy, and TO repudiate
any affiliation with either RepuD-
licans or Populists. The resolu-
tons follow:

QUARRYING WITH FIRE.
Thirty Pounds of Stone Broken Up by One
Pound of Wood.

Thirty Pounds of Stone Broken Up by One
Pound OF Wood.
At Bangalore, in southern India, the
quarrying of granite slabs by means of
wood fire has been brought to such
perfection that an account of the
method is interesting, says Nature.
The rock forms solid masses uninter-
rupted by cracks for several hundreds
of feet, and when quarried over an
area is treated as follows: A narrow
line of wood fire, perhaps feet long,
is gradually elongated. and at the same
time moved forward over the tolerably
even surface of solid rock. The line
of fire is produced by dry logs of light
wood, which have been left burning in
their position until strokes with
hammer indicate that the rock in front
of the fire has become detached from
the main mass underneath. The burn
ing wood is again pushed forward a
few inches, and left until the hammer
again indicates that the slit has ex-
tended.
Thus the fire is moved on, and at
the same time the length of the line of
fire is increased and made to convex
on the side of the fresh rock, the maxi
mum length of the arc amounting to
about - feet. 1t is only on this ad-
vancing line Of fire that any heating
takes place. the portion which has
been traverseG being left to itself.
This latter portion is covered by the
ashes left by the wood, and with thin
splinters which have been burnt off.
These splinters are only of about one
eighth of an inch in thickness and a
few inches across They are quite in
dependent of the natural splitting of
the rock. which is all the time going
on at depth of about 5 inches from
the surface.
The burning lasts eight hours, and
the line of fire advances at the average
rate of nearly feet an hour. The
area actually passed over by the line
of fire is 400 square feet, but as the
crack extends about feet on either
side beyond the fire, the area of the en-
tire slab which is set free measures
about 40 square feet All this is done
with, maybe, about Is cwt. of wood.
Taking the average thickness of the
stone at inches, and its specific gray
ity at 2.62, the result is so pounds of
stone quarried with pound OF wood

Interesting Reports on Pagan Fields and
Foreigners in America.
WASHINGTON, May II. President
Haralsop called the Southern Baptist
convention to order shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning. The cou-
vention then resumed the considera-
ton of the report on pagan fields,
which was not disposed of at the ses-
sion Saturday night. DIR. II. II. Graves,
for thirty years n missionary residing
at Canton, China, in discussing the re-
port urged eloquently aggressive work
in China. The result of the japanese
war. he said, would be to open China
to modern thought and enlightenment,
and now was the time for Christianity
to strike.
J. d. Christian, of Kentucky, in a
report upon the work among the
foreigners OF the United States (whO
represented l. per cent. of the popula-
tom, referred to the concentration of
the alien population of big cities.

cities must be overthrown and the

church is worth 100 policemen"
The feature of the evening session
was an eloquent and earnest address
by Rev. J. b. Hawthorne, of Georgia,
on the history, work and future pros
poets of Southern Baptist conventions.
The address was practical announce
meut that the time for Il reunion of
the northern and southern churches
had not come and. so far as the South
ern Baptist convention was concerned,
was a thins of the indefinite future.
In closing. he referred feelingly to the
negro question in the south. 81 in

1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
