Properly Qualined reschsrs.

The facts, in my opinion, will admit
Of only one conclusiOn-viz, that In
teaching the results are not determined
by the methods employed. but by the
ability of those who use them. In other
words, the first place must be given 10
the personal equation of the teacher,
while methods and devices play only q
subordinate part. 1t seems to me, there
fore, that the evils now ascribed TO un-
controllable circumstances should be at
tributed in large part to lack on the
part of the teacher Of those qualifica-
tions which are essential to success
Consequently when reasonable de-
mands are not met within reasonable
time limit we are justified in inferrin9
that the fault lies with the teacher and
not with the pupils.
An instructive experience once en-.
countered will serve to illustrate this
point On leaving q classroom in which
] had heard u few recitations / compli-
mented the teacher on the intelligence
of her pupils. She replied: "You must
uup give me credit for that. These chill
dren are Russians, and one can do any.
thing with Russians. It so happened
that on the next day I visited class
room in which the children were ex.
ceptionally dull. On this occasion the
teacher remarked: "You must not
blame me for their stupidity. My pupils
are Russians, and one cannot do anything
with Russians DIR. j. M. Rice in

A country justice bad been elected
but few days, when young lawyer
rushed in and demanded capias. Now,
that justice did not know capias from
q police cell, but he disliked to admit
his ignorance. So he said:
"Now, see here, my friend. You art
a young lawyer and. I fear, lack expe
rience. would advise you not to be
too hasty. Don't be in hurry. Wait
"a hours and then, il you think best,
come to me, and I will give you Ca
pias."
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The justice spent the remainder
Of the day getting acquainted with the
writ called capias. When the limb Of
the law appeared the next morning. the
court felt himself qualified to issue Ca
phases by the bushel.
Before he could speak, the young law
yer said:
"Mr. Justice, you were right. was
too hasty. have that matter fixed up
all right and do not need a capias.
have come to thank you for the good
advice, and also have brought you the
% fee you would have received for the
oapias, as I don't want you to lose by
your good deed"
He went away believing the justice
to be paragon Of good sense and le'
gal lore. --Chioago Times Herald.

BURIED DURING THE WAR.


Searching In Wiscoustn For o8S,OoO In
James Arthur, q veteran Of the civil
war. now resident Of Buffalo, arrived
In Superior, Wis, by steamboat recent
ly to make inquiries concerning Q fans
action dating back nearly 40 years. Ao.
oording to Mr.. AYthur's story, q bag
containing 4Sb. 600 In gold was buried
BY man named Eli Pingers in tho yeai
1891 and has never been discovered to
this day, though several expeditions
have gone in search Of IL.
Arthur aud Fingers were partners In
q bank at La Pointe. which they closed
and joined the army. Eli Fingers was
killed at the battle Of Richmond, KY,
ON Aug. 80, 1862. A thorough search
through the Pingers home in New York
failed to disclose any information con-
oerning the location Of the hidden treas
ure. After the war Arthur married the
sister of Fingers. He has made several
trips In search of the treasure, but in
vain. Recently, while turning the pages
of an old book which had once been the
property of Eli Pingers, q small piece
Of note paper was found by Mrs Arthur
which contained a memorandum writ
ten in the handwriting of the dead SOL
dier. This note, Mr.. Arthur claims, will
no doubt lead to the discovery of the
treasure in time, but the reference IL
makes to roads, trees and other land
marks is of little avail now. Louis

We believe that the English, who are
in continental opinion a nation Of shop.
keepers. are not by instinct or by aspira-
tion a trading people at all, or even an
industrial one. They are q eeafarin9
people by tendency, and as the sea pro-
duces nothing they are compelled to
trade, and circumstances have driven
them into the industrial life, but their
proclivity is toward struggle of any
kind, and not, except as an incident in
that struggle. toward the making Of
money. 1t was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
their vocation, and much later still that
they surrendered the notion that to be
trader, whether merchant or manufac-
turer or dealer in money, was to be
comparatively base person. Till with
ip the last fey years ell historians
thought economics rather unworthy
subjects Of their pens, and the social
distinctions drawn against industry
were Of the most CALLING character. In.
deed. they have not disappeared yet, tho
contempt which was once felt for the
merchant and the banker being still en-
tertained for the distributor, though he
often combines both functions. The
great industrial is still hardly reckoned
Oh par with the great agriculturist,
and the shopkeeper of any kind is still
placed far below any sort Of professional
Money, it is true, is now almost the
only source of irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, like the
powerful in all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson of
Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been ac-
Quired in battle or by chicane than out
Of shop, however large. Even the cap
tains Of industry, who are like the old
barons in many respects, are not thought
Of as quite their equals, and the greatest
Of railway builders. say the late Mr..
Brassey, is not placed on the level Of a
great agriculturist, say the late Mr..
Coke Of Norfolk. The state has honored
both. but the popular sentiment, which,
and not the state, settles what Greeks
are like, condopes, rather than delights
In, the action Of the state. The difference
Is disappearing, but it dies hard. Lon

~ was never more deeply impressed
with natures wondrous care of her
children than by q spectacle to which
my attention was recently directed in
the island Of Trinidad" " said Mr.. Rob
inson, treasurer Of the Barber Asphalt
company. ION my last trip TO Trini-
dad" Mr.. Robinson went on to say, II
asked for tho first time how IL happen
ed that the COCOA trees always grew in
the shadow Of o larger tree whose
branches were notably long and rich In
foliage. had seen the cocoa in many
other climes, and It always seemed able
to take care Of itself. I was told that
experiments had been made in Trini-
DAD with the cocoa to see IL It could not
thrive alone, and il had been proved
beyond question that it could not. The
blaze Of the equatorial sun down there
is 80 fierce that the cocoa withers and
dies unless it is protected by the shade
of its companion tree, to which the
name mother Of the cocoa has been
very appropriately given.
"Another marked popularity about
the climate OF the group Of islands in
that latitude is that alien races who 90
there to dwell dare not drink much of
the water. The natives thrive ON it
we'll enough, but persons not native
cannot imbibe it with safety. Boiling
or filtering does not seem to do it much
good, and the consequence is that all
the white people on the islands have to
drink whisky as a regular beverage.
Scotch whisky and soda are more pop
ular there than in Scotland, and one
drinks this concoction with meals as
milk, wine, beer. coffee or tea is drunk
elsewhere. st. Louis Republic.
