Prof. Bryan's Address.

The audience then stood up and stretched
IFS 40 pairs Of legs, and sang Home. Sweet
Home" and Prof. Bryan was introduced
and made an interesting address on teach
ing; pointing out some OF the permanent,
antagonlst.c tendencies TO successful teach
ing. His points were simple and practi-
cal, and OF an everyday character. He re-
viewed what the teacher has TO contend
with in the development Of the variously
constituted minds Of pupils. showing that
an aptitude for certain studies in one en-
bryO mind would not exist in another, and
recommended a close inquiry into the men,
tai construction of a child and harmonic
ing of its elements and leanings.

SIGNING THE DECLARATION.
Flies Pestered the Fathers of the Republic
 as They Created It.

Flies Pestered the Fathers of the Republic
 as They Created It
 Jefferson was fond of telling n story which illustrates in forcible manner the importance that absurdly insignifi. cant matters may sometimes assume When the deliberative body that gave the world the Declaration of Independ. ence was in session, it's proceedings were conducted in a hall close to which was situated a livery stable. The weather was warm, and from the stable came swarms of flies that lighted on the legs of the honorable members, and bit ing through the thin silk stockings then in fashion gave infinite annoyance. IL was no uncommon sight. said Jefferson, to see a member making speech with a large handkerchief in hand and paus ing at every moment to thrash the flies from his thinly protected calves
 The opinion of the body was not unanimous in favor of the document, and, under other circumstances, discus sion might have been protracted foi days, if not weeks, but the flies were intolerable. Efforts were made to find duOlueI nalli AEet lIbtu Allt pSSlSt buA lh vain. As the weather became warmer the flies grew worse, and the Tapping of handkerchiefs was heard all over the hall as an accompaniment to the voices of the speakers.
 In despair at last some one suggested that matters be hurried, so that the body might adjourn and get away from tha flies Tbara xvere A fev mild pro. tests, but no one needed them, the i'm. mortal declaration was hurriedly copied, and, with handkerchiefs in hand fight. ing flies as they came, the members hastened up to the table to sign the au thentic copy and leave the flies in the lurch.
 Had it not been for the livery stabl, and its inmates there is no telling when the document would have been com. pleted, but it certainly would not have been signed on the Fourth.-Philadel phia Press
