USE OF METHODS.

While sitting on hotel veranda
last summer, | observed wind
mill near by and noted the fact
that the oblique vanes were so ar
ranged that from whatever direc-
ton the wind blew its force was
utilized by the sails in operating
the machinery below. l thought
this an excellent illustration of the
teachers work. The teachers
methods are the sails which he has
hoisted in order to put in motion
the capabilities of his pupils.
Some teachers arrange their vanes
at such an angle that unless the
pupil strikes them in certain
way the powers of the mind are
not aroused. The ingenuity of the
inventor of the Windmill recog-
nized the fact that his invention
would be almost worthless unless
it used the forces of the wind from
any direction.
Now the teacher who formulates
infiexible methods of teaching
lacks this ingenious quality. "a
boys will is the winds WILL" and
the teacher would as we'll meet the
fact and use common sense in di-
recting the boys efforts.
The windmill l saw was used
for pumping water from we'll.
Now making the figure painfully
literal, by supposing the boys
mind to be the we'll, his will and
desires the wind, and the teachers
methods of teaching, the machin-
cry, l am satisfied that some teach
ers don't get gallon of clear, pure
water from the bottom of the we'll
in a month.
The principle to be derived from
this observation is this. Methods
can be adapted to the varying pow
ers of the pupil, but the varying
powers of the pupil can not be
adapted to methods. / think this
principle worthy of serious consid-
Grafton in view of the fact that
there is dangerous tendency to
direct methods of teaching in a
groove to establish infexible
courses of study and to adopt the
form rather than the vital truth of
method. The higher institutions
of learning are awakening to this
condition, are increasing electives
while fewer courses are madeoblig-
atory. 1t is very questionable
whether over-crowding the COM
mon school course will increase
the efficiency of the schools. In
fact, with the empirical use of
methods, it undoubtedly results in
injury. Better never have been
taught subject at all, than to
have been taught improperly. Not
a wider course of study, not more
subjects, but more rational meth
DDS of teaching is the crying need
of the common school.
A certain minister is said to have
saved more souls by preaching
from certain text, than from all
other texts in the bible SO l
think we can help more schools by
imparting to teachers more in
telligent and rational use Of
metiNods. J.R.

First a Mole,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in it's path as Cancer-and we'll
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
iife's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
1ignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic p1asters, ETC, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes it's cause. S. S. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures can
GER and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the well-known residents of
Macon, Ga, is Mr.. H. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope of
ever being cured.
On June d, 1896, he writes: "Twenty
years ago, while being shaved, a small
mole on my face was cut, leaving an

Three Things.

In beginning the new year there
are three things to be watched lest
they become fixed habits. First,
nagging. In a recent visit to a
primary room of youngest chill
dren ! was particularly struck with
the absence of all nagging by the
teacher. A little boy began to
hum in an absent minded way.
"Who has to hum" asked the
teacher in pleasant, half-chiding
way. The boy looked up smilingly
and stopped humming, which was
all the teacher was after. Wasn't
that better than to say, "Stop
hummingl If | catch you hum
ming again, I'll punish YOU"
The nerves of both children and
teacher are saved and it is a good
thing to save nerves and friction
when you can. Again in the same
room girl was playing with her
shoe-buttons during a recitation.
"Who isn't helping?" asked the
same teacher The little girl was
all attention in moment, and had
not been smoothed the wrong way.
The absence of nagging in that
room was blessed relief to the
visitor, to the children, and to the
teacher as well. See how often
you can forget to say Don't this
year.
Heavy, shuffling walking by the
children. 1t is astonishing how
much of this stumbling motion is
permitted in the school room by
teachers who never seem to mind
it or know it. Little children, par
ticularly boys, often bring this
habit to school in an aggravated
form. 1t is as if the home people
had never even noticed it or at
tempted to correct it. Begin the
very first day to correct this heavy
dragging step. Not by saying,
"Don't walk that way" but by de-
vising some way to get the light,
buoyant step. Not a tip toe-that
is almost as bad. Children have
to learn to handle their legs and
feet. They are as much in the way
as are hands sometimes.
Thick indistinct enunciation is
another of this prominent trio of
evils. 1t is an exception if chill
dren speak clearly and distinctly
in the school room. 1t has been
considered cunning" at home for
the babies to talk indistinctly and
the teachers have it all to undo.
Unlearn it gently, but correct it as
persistently as you would pull
weeds out of garden. Not once,
but every day. They will be sure
to grow over night. 1t is just pos
sible that teachers themselves are
not the best example in this re-
spect. Nothing is better to correct
this tendency than frequent phonic
drill.-Prinaary Education.

A Triumph Of Surgical skill.

When l was six years old l began
to have discharge from my ear,
which has lasted over 80 years. The
discharge became very offensive, and
often bloody. | was SO dizzy much of
the time that l could with difficulty
keep from staggering.
On examination by DR.. Sadler, s04
Penn avenue, Pittsburg, he found the
ear nearly full of proud flesh, and
beneath this large surface of bare,
dead bone. / continued under his
treatment from February to May,
when it was completely healed, with
no discharge or bad feeling, and there
has been none since.

UNITED STATES AS REFEREE
In TIE NECARAGUA-COST RIGA
BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
An American Engineer to be Selected
to Mark the Line From
Ocean to Ocean.

WASHINGTON, May 2-Another
United States Government has been
paid by the Government of Costa Rica
and Nicaragua in a convention for the
demarcation of the boundary line be-
tween those republics, which has been
negotiated through the mediation of
the President of Salvador. The first ar
ticle binds each of the republics to ap-
point an engineering commission to
mark the boundary in accordance with
the treaty of 1853, as interpreted by
President Cleveland as arbitrator and
provides that the President of the
United States shall be requested to ap-
point an engineer to accompany the
survey, whose decision shall be final
in any dispute that may arise between
the two cooperating commissions
AS soon as the convention is ratified
by the Legislatures of the countries,
who shall share expenses and salary
of the American engineer, the work of
marking the line from the Atlantic to
the Pacific is to commence and be COM
pleted within twenty months Although
the line is fully described by President
Cleveland's arbitration, the relations
between Costa Rica and Nicara qua for
a long time have been strained by the
failure to agree upon it's exact location
at certain points. The two Govern
ments, however, now believe they have
found an easy solution by deferring to
the Judgment of an appointee of the
President of the United States and
friendly relations have been resumed.
This question once settled will have
an important bearing on the proposed
Nicaragua Canal by fixing the undis-
puted ownership of the territory through
which it must be constructed.

OF valuable articles sent by the Sultan
of Turkey.
There is a festive hall, where over 100
