things in which he is interested. AS
soon as the child has ideas to express
then insist upon the correct forms OF
speech and drill on right modes of
expression corresponding to tue wrong
ones habitually used. The child
should not be hampered by rules but
should have constant practice in the
use of good English. Only through
this constant practice can he become
fluent in it's use.
All work placed upon the board
should be correct. Having seen sem
fences written correctly on the board
the child will naturally initiate the
correct form and begin his sentence
with capital and close it with a

be used as soon as the pupil is able to
distinguish question from state

In primary work omit rules but
give constant example and practice.

1.-The man that hath no music III himself,
Nor is not moved with concord OF sweet
sounds
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils"
Even a mere babe will be moved and
inspired by sweet strains OF music,
how much more ought our souls 10 be
enthused and interested in ina, arr.
Generally speaking, our young
people are never taught to sing until
nearly approaching maturity, and if
child Is voice is found unmusicai, We
hear the regret that Providence has
not conferred voice upon the young
creature"
Can the child talk? Then, be as
sured, he could have sung, had you
only exercised the muscles OF the
larynx while they were young and
flexible.
Had you tied up one limb and never
requiredtit to be used from infancy
until you were fourteen, would its
muscles have been as powerful as
those Of the unbound, exercised limb?
AS soon as the child can learn a-b-c,
he can be taught do-re-mi. 1t is COM
monty asserted that some can not
learn to execute music. | would
modify this somewhat and say, chat
some can learn but very little. 1t is
no shame to have but little ability for
learning music. Some OF the greatest
lovers OF music are unable to advance
far in the practical pursuit OF the art.
Ii o child has but little or seemingly
no talent, or taste for music, and
shows au aversion to learning it. /
would say Go not force such a one, on
the contrary however, if your pupil
has but little prospect of accomplish
ing much in music, but loves it, and
would like to learn, / think it unkind
on the part of the teacher to refuse
the desired lessons or to show signs
of impatience, or otherwise to dis
courage effort.
Vocal music is one of the best
means Of securing attention to study.
When a school grows restless and in-
attentive, music may be employed to
charm it into diligence.
Drowsy, dreamy idlers, gaping over
their books, longing for noon or night,
catching flies, throwing paper balls,
dropping states, pulling hafr, expert
menting on an unfortunate neigh Dor
with crooked pins, are TRANSPORTED
into diligent students by music.
Music, in its capacity Of doing good,
comes next to the pulpit. Its power
is as yet thing undeveloped. Con-
slider for Instance what the music
must have been in the Sunday School
thirty or forty years ago and compare
the Sunday Schools Of today with
those of that period. What would
these schools be if we should drop
the music out of them all together?
They would almost dissolve and
vanish.
1t is the invisible chain which holds
them together and animateS them.
There is, besides, a power in music
to reach, to direct, to comfort the
Christians heart, which is, compare
lively speaking, yet undreamed Of.
Music; as distinguished from the
various attmpts Of the past, Is only
four hundred years old.
Music lisa prophecy of what life
| is to be, the rainbow OF promise

The Cotton Duty.

Hon. John Gary Evans, exGov.
ernor of South Carolina, was asked
the other day if the people of his
State were pleased with the idea OF
protection for cotton and he voiced
the sentiments of all intelligent
farmers of the South when he re-
piled:
'N0, tor they look on the imposi.
ton OF q tax on raw cotton as a
deliberate attempt to fool the farm.
ers. Our people cannot be hum.
bugged with such a transparent
piece of trickery. There is not a
farmer in South Carolina who
doesn't understand that a duty OF
20 per cent on cotton will not have
the least effect in bringing him a
better price for what he produces.
A few negroes on the coast raise a
small amount of sea island cotton,
which, it is claimed, suffers by
reason of the importation of
Egyptian cotton. As matter of
fact, the foreign cotton hasn't the
slightest influence in regulating the
price of the home product, for it
isn't in competition with that grown
over here"

Chicago's Big Delinquent Tax List.

We have been shown a CODY of
the Chicago Daily Inter. Ocean, of
recent date, which is q curiosity in
the newspaper line. The paper
consists of 17G pages, columns to

Of the total number OF pages, 1874
consist of a delinquent tax list OF
immovable property located in
Chicago and Cook county, Illinois.
Just think ofit-114S columns set in
agate type, the smallest type used
in newspaper work.
This immense delinquent tax list
shows that McKinley's wave of
prosperity has not yet reached
Chicago, which gave him such a big
majority for President.
To set this in type and distribute
it back in the cases, would require
the work of one printer for at least
LAS days, or three years and about
eight months, working six days a
week and ten hours per day.
Counting days lost by sickness and
for pleasure, the printer could have

False Notions About Taxation.

The Baltimore Sun refers under

declares that he took Herr Most

being poor, had heavy tax bills to

The Sun proceeds to demolish
this miserably weak superstructure,
and it is . very easy task, indeed.
It claims that few popular ideas are
more utterly false, more pernicious,
more productive Of evils, as out of
this idea has grown the failure and
corruption of municipal government
in this country. The belief of the
man who is not on the tax list that
hc has no interest in the tax rate,
has made him Indifferent to ap-
propriations has made him often
eager for reckless expenditures on
