TEACHING BY PHoNoeRAPH.

Novel Scheme of n New York Profes-
sor of Languages to Save Labor.
The photograph, which has passed
through many commercial vicissitudes,
has proved itself most practical and
valuable device in field originally
unthought of. For the last five years
New York professor of languages has
taught various tongues by photograph
in all parts of the world, but especially
in South America and Mexico. He fur
nishes a text book, say for Spaniards to
learn English, arranged in 20 lessons.
These lessons are also given in his own
voice on 20 cylinders. Accompanying
these transcribed cylinders are 20 blank
ones. The graphophonc, which is
variation of the photograph, is found
convenient instrument to send to the
pupil. There is also sent cylinder
containing a lesson in any language,
with a chapter or scene from a comedy
or novel, or with song or a ballad.
Blank cylinders for the return mes
sages or recitations cost 20 cents apiece.
The pupil, thus equipped, opens the
book at the first lesson, puts the tubes
into his ears and starts the machine
slowly. He repeats this practice On
any passage, again and again, more and
more rapidly, until he is thoroughly
familiar with every intonation and ac-
cent. Having in this way mastered the
first lesson he puts one of the blank
cylinders in the machine and answers
the questions of the lesson. This cylin-
der, inclosed in little box, goes back
to the teacher, who, with stenog-
rapher by his side, listens to the recita-
ton and dictates his corrections and
criticism. The letter and cylinder go
back to the pupil, who compares his
own utterances with the original cyl
inder at the points indicated in the
teachers letter and is enabled to tell
wherein his defect lies and how to cure
| 1t.
Over 1000 monographs have been
sold for this purpose. Its immense
value as a teacher lies in the fact that it
never wearies and will go on repeating
the same passages either with the
same or varied information for thou
sands of times, if necessary, so that the
pupil can learn by assiduous practice
to reproduce the finest shades of in
Election and thus acquire a purity of
accent that could only be otherwise
attained by long residence in the coun-
try where the language is spoken. An
extension of this idea, which has al
ready taken shape, is the giving of vo-
cal lessons by photograph. This, how
ever, is much more complex matter,
and it is doubtful whether it can be
made more than qualified success.
One of the most vital things in singing
is color, and this is just what most
monographs fail to reproduce. If an
instrument can be made that can be re-
lied upon to do this the burden of vocal
teaching can be greatly lightened, and
American students of singing can en-

Senator McEnery at Home.

Senator McEnery delivered speech
before the Choctaw Club Of New Orleans
Wednesday night, explaining his position
on the tariff question and his vote on the
Dingley bill.
Mr.. McEnery was the only Democratic
Senator who voted for the Diugley bill,
and his course, he told his constituents,
was dictated by two reasons: ~ The bill
carried substantial protection to the inter-
ests of the whole country, the South's in
terests along with others. He considered
that the South's present interests needed
protection. The South as huge plantation
had no stake in protection. But that day
had passed, and now when her manufac-
turing and mineral interests were to be
considered, their development could only
be secured by the means that had proved
successful elsewhere. ~ What he was
asking and assisting in obtaining for his
section he was willing to vote to bestow
upon other sections. The sugar interests
Ol AOulsIaila udO LO greater Cialm uPOh
the consideration of the protection senti-
ment of Congress than had the different
interests of other States represented in
that body. Mr.. McEnery's reference to
the Sugar Trust was that the fight that the
Trust made in the Senate and the defeat
to which, in the end, the Trust was obliged
to 60. He praised the sugar schedule
prepared by the House, and declared that
it eliminated all trusts influences, which
had been so potent in the previous Con-
gress and had been able to dictate the
the sugar schedule of the Wilson bill. Of
the amendments offered blythe Democrats,
to restore the ad valorem duties of the
Wilson bill, Mr.. McEnery pointed out that
sit received the support of the opponents
of the bill and the Sugar Trust, for no bet
ter schedule could have been asked by the
Trust. 1t was the schedule which it die
tated, and the one under which it so
rapidly progressed to power and influence.

HINTS FOR sTocKMEN.

It is claimed that there are not
enough heavy draft horses to supply
the market. Make that plain and the
supply will be coming.
There is complaint against the work
done by dehorning clippers and prefer
ence expressed for the saw, The clip
pers are all right if used according to
directions.
The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two nuisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
your temper and in some way get the
horse to think of something else. AS
soon as you do he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet OF the
horse, and it is question if hard roads
are not as wearing on the horse as soft
roads are. But Independent of that
hard roads are desirable when they can
be had without too much burden to the
farmer.
The 1,2OO-pound hog-and one man
claims to have one-is not desirable or
profitable. We once saw pen of ten
hogs where aggregate weight was 49,
600 pounds. Hogs to weigh must be
kept until the second year, and that OF
itself is not advisable.
Secretary Wilson thinks that hog
cholera can be abolished" and will
study the thing from A to q. 1t has
been studied already, but the more it
is studied the worse it is. Feed less
corn. breed from more mature stock
and keep the hogs under healthful con-
ditions are all the science there is to
the subiect.-Western Plowman.

Small HoEa Pay Best.

Immense size is no longer sought as
in former times. Smaller animals are
made ready for the shambles more
economically, the meat is more pala-
table and maturity is gained in short
er time. 1t has been the constant aim
OF intelligent breeders to produce an
animal that will fatten at any age and
a great measure Of success in that di-
rection has been attained. Formerly
the farmer believed it to be necessary
for his pigs to be narrowed in August
or enrly September for his pork supply
in The autumn Of the next year. Thus
they would be several months more
than year old when slaughtered, while
now, by the aid of improved breeds and
a better system of feeding, 2oo-pound
hog can be produced in less than halt
time, better, more salable and Of course
at less outlay.-Rural World.

HAY AND HOG RACK.

A Combination Structure Which
Seems Hard TO Beat.
A late number Of the Canadian
Farmers Advocate contained the &C.
companying description and illustra-
tons of combined hay or sheep and
cattle rack by one of its correspond
enfs:
THE accompanying figures represent
a combined hay and sheep rack which
Ia easily detachable and convenient to
store away under cover. Any ordinary
strong wagon box will answer if cleats
are put on to hold the double end and
center-boards. Fig. represents the
aide Of the box, ~ inches thick andany
desired width and length, with cleats
on each end and in the center, nailed
on with 3-inch wire nails to receive
the cross pieces of the sides of the rack.

The Change the peopIs Got in 1894.

Boston Journal, Repl.
The people voted for change. They got
it. Even before the German Wilson mon
strosity went into effect prices began to go
down. The cost of living was cheapened
Nobody has denied that-no body
will deny it. But-and here is the vital
fact which very soon made the people
exceedingly weary of their change"
wages began to drop even before
prices did. They fell faster and they fell
farther. Of what advantage is the re-
duction in price of, say, foreign woolens
from So to $l.75 per yard to the mechanic
whose daily pay has been sliced down from
81 to $1.5O-or, may be, cut off altogether?
What gain is it to the working woman if
l22 cents is shipped off the cost of foreign
silks, when at tie same time her wages are
reduced 25 per cent, or she is dismissed
because ola "falling off in business?"
