NEEDS OF NORMAL SCHOOLS.
Teachers Should BE in Full Sympathy
With Work Of Students.


State Superintendent n. C. Schaeffer of
Pennsylvania, presented an interesting re-
port last evening on the normal schools of
the middle states. Great differences exist
among the normal schools of these states.
New York and Pennsylvania have each
twelve or thirteen normal schools, while
New Jersey and Maryland have but one
each. Conditions of admission into these
schools vary in the different states and
perhaps, to some extent even in the
schools of the same state.
DR.. T. X. Snyder, president of the Colo
RADIO State Normal School, addressed the
department on the Training, Mode! and
Practice School," These terms were dis
tinguished and defined. The training
school should be both a model school, or
observation school, and practice school.
The speaker described the ideal man or
woman who should be the inspiring and
energizing head of such school. The critic
teachers should love children, nature, litera-
ture and art. She must be in full SYM
pathy with her pupil teachers. Frequent
conferences of training teachers and pupil
teachers should be held. The practice
school should be the center of life in
normal school.
The discussion of DR.. Snyder's paper was
opened by Dr.. Theodore B. Moss. principal
of tho California, Pennsylvania, State
Normal School He emphasized the
thought that the practice school should be
made central and vital In the work of the
whole normal school. All teachers in the
normal school should be in full sympathy
with the work of teaching which their
students have to do when they go out
from the school.
The discussion was continued by DR..
Wilson of Rhode Island, DR.. j. N. Willxin-
son of Kansas DR.. Downing OF New York,
Dr. Taylor of Kansas, and others.
The officers of the department for the
ensuing year. were then elected. The
president is DR.. Theodore B. Moss of Cali

Fortunes for Two commissioners.
Washington, Dec. 19.-Ex-Sec-
retary of State Day and Whitelaw
Reid will receive at least 800, 900
each for assisting in the peace ne
gotiations in Paris.
James Bassett Moore, secretary
of the peace commission, will re-
ceive $4,000 for his services in
Paris.
Senators Davis, Frye and Gray,
under the law cannot draw two
salaries, and they will have only
their expenses paid, in addition to
their senatorial salaries.
This information was CLEANED at
the state department today. 1t
was received by the politicians
generally like flood of light from
dark cabinet. 1t explained why
Secretary Day and Assistant Sec
retary of State Moore resigned
their permanent positions to take
up duties certain to last not more
than three months.
There was no reason why Mr..
Day, as Secretary of state, and
Mr.. Moore, as assistant Secretary
of state, could not have acted as
peace commissioners.
The sum of 800, 900 each fol
Messrs. Day and Reid is the mini
mum figure. 1t is payable with.
out reference to Congress, out OF
the national defense fund of $50,
O00,0 900. The actual expenses Of
the entire commission, outside o.
these fees will be bagatelle wher
compared with a quarter of mill

of Messrs. Day and Moore, with 8

BEAUTY Is BASED ON HEALTH.
The Girls Clear Complexion ths
Reflection of Her Health.

you are desirous Of having a clear
complexion?" inquiries Ruth Ashmore
in the Ladies Home Journal" TT is
not enough that you simply treat your
self externally. The complexion is the
thermometer that tells by it's sallowness
that the liver is out of order; by the
red spots upon it that the stomach
needs attention. and by it's dull, heavy
look that the kidneys demand treat
ment. Water externally and internally
makes woman good to look upon. Taken
internally, it hushes several important
organs and acts upon them as a rinser,
carrying away all the poisonous matter
that has so rapidly accumulated.
Where your digestion is out of order a
simple medicine recommended by a
Southern nanny and found efficacious
is a glass of hot water-not tepid, for
that may cause sickness-in which has
been thrown and dissolved a good
pinch of fine table salt. 1t Is possible
that, just at first, when taken befone
breakfast, you may not care for this
medicinal drink, and can only take one
half of it; but hoping on and hoping
ever, you will get so that a gobletful
of it is looked forward to with pleasure,
while it's effect is shown by the utter
lack of pimples or spots, by the smooth
ness of the skin and the brightness of
the eyes, If you find yourself growing
weak from your work, then on day
when you have plenty of time take

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called

food remains until fermentation be-

a bitter, sour, burning taste in the
mouth is often present This condition
soon becomes chronic and being an
everyday occurrence is given but lit

dyspepsia and stomach troubles. II
Is known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

and prescribed as a radical cure for
every form of dyspepsia.

Germany and Tdealism.

AS Italy has turned from art to eco
nomics and engineering, so Germany
turned from philosophy to imports and
exports, from poetry to heavy guns,
from idealist liberalism to materialist
socialism, says writer in THE Specta-
tor" One of the most interesting Ger
man idealists has told US that phi
losophy can bake no bread, but she
can give US God, freedom and immor-
tality." But the German mind turned
aside from these transcendent objects
of human faith to serve tables: and
the building up Of German trade has
since the war been the foremost object
of German effort. The inherent diff
Guilty of the problem, owing to the geo :
graphical position of Germany, has in
volved a greater concentration of pur-
pose than has perhaps ever been
known, and thus the German mind has
been entirely overwhelmed in material
phenomena In addition to this, the
activity of three generations of the
most eager intellectual analysis of the
deepest problems that has been known
since. Aristotle appeared to have led to
bewilderment, skepticism and pessim-
ism.
Positive philosophic ideas in Germany
are almost extinct; mere criticism
reigns: and where two generations sgo
Germany was inspired by Schelling she
is now chilled by Schopenhauer. The
universities have lost their profound
impulses, and the Real-Schule has
taken a higher place in the public
thought than the philosophic lecture
room. The rebuilding of German cities

PRICE OF PEACE IN AFRICA.
Stanley Quieted Hostile Savages
With Six Yards Of Sheeting.

Suddenly looking around we saw
with dismay about a hundred natives
in war costume standing in a mass not
far from our camp" writes Henry M.
Stanley, the African explorer, In the
Ladies Home Journal descriptive OF
an encounter with the savages during
one Of his early trips into Africa. Each
head was crowned with tall plumes OF
eagle and kite or with names of ze-
bra and giraffe. We felt that in some
way we were the object Of the gather
ing. Even while We gazed other war
riors arrayed for battle came stream
ing along.
My men instinctively buckled on
their accouterments and prepared their
weapons, and I sent two guides out to
the natives to parley quietly with them,
and to ascertain whether they had
armed against us, and while the inter-
view lasted I found the necessary time
to make a few preparations to meet
any unreasona bleness.
1.-The guides ON returning to us re-
ported that the gathering was hostile
because one of our men, it was said,
had stolen a calabash Of milk and some
butter, and they insisted on payment
The price was four yards of sheeting!
One felt tempted to laugh that such
small matter should wear so serious
an aspect The cloth was measured,
and handed to the guides with the in
junction to present it without any Of
fensive remark, and I had the impress
sion that the affair would soon be set
tied. 1t was confirmed at seeing them
accept the cloth and prepare to depart
But the aboriginal nature is a curious
one. The number of the natives had in
creased enormously. Each fresh squad
had brought it's own leader, and these
new leaders, greedy or envious, de-
manded satisfaction. They halted those
who held the cloth and clamorously
wrangled with them. From their fierce
gestures I judged their predatory in
stincts were fully aroused, and that the
hot dispute would end in mutual
slaughter, but presently the mass align
ed itself at a bowshot from the camp.
while body of about two hundred ma
tives started off on al dog-trot toward a
thick bush behind the camp. Efforts to
avoid fight eventually failed"

Paul Morphy and the Devil

On reading the notes IN the July
number of Paul Morphy's visit to Phil
adelphia, I am reminded Of an incident
in connection with his visit to Rich
mond, Va, about the same time, which
was related to me some years ago by
the Rev. Mr.. H. of that city. I do
not remember ever to have seen 1t In
print. Mr.. Morphy was Mr.. HIS guest
while in the city, and or his arrival
was at once attracted by a painting
over the mantel, which was fine copy
of a celebrated painting representing
game of chess between a young man
and the devil, the stake being the
young mans soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young mans next
move, and he seemed just to realize the
fact that he had lost the game, the
agony of despair being shown IN every
line of his features and attitude, while
the devil from the opposite side Of the
table gloated over him with fiendish
delight. The position of the game ap-
peared utterly hopeless for the young
man, and Mr.. H. said he had often set
it up and studied it with his chess
friends, and all agreed the young mans
game was certainly lost.
Mr. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes,
when finally, turning to Mr.. H, he
said:
T can win the game for the young
man."
Mr. H. was, Of course. astonished,
and said: rs it possible?"
Mr. Morphy replied: Get out the
men and the board and let us look at
it"
The position was set up, and in a
few rapid moves he demonstrated a
complete win for the young man, and
the devil was checkmated.
The Rev. Mr.. H was wont to apply
the evident and beautiful moral, which
l leave to each one Of your readers to
think over.-American Chess Magazine.

Queen Louise at Matchmaker.

Queen Louise was an inveterate
matchmaker, and after her maternal
ambition had been amply fulfilled with
regard to her own children, who all
married brilliantly, she soved nothing
better than scheming to bring together
a young couple whom she mentally
destined for each other. Her sound
common sense, great experience, and
singularly keen perception Of character
were of immense service to her in this
matter, and many Of the happiest mar
riages in Denmark-not among the
higher classes Of society only-owe
their inception to the tact Of the Queen.
The English Chaplain at court at one
time used to be a favorite object Of
her majesty's innocent fun. Take a
wife, Mr.. Kennedy" she would say,
take a wife. You know you would
be much happier" Or she would ask:
We'll, have you taken my advice yet,
Mr.. Kennedy?" And receiving the
usual answer, she would add, with a
shake Of the head "Ah, you should,
you should You know you would be
more comfortable" To the last her love
for the King was perfect, and his
gallantry to the Queen at table was
ever that of the young husband rather
than that Of the octogenarian soldier
King.
The Queen Of Denmark's morning =
after her breakfast alone, or in cosey
seclusion with the King-was always
devoted to her voluminous family cor
respondence (she was famed as a let
ter writer) broken often by visits from
the merry young branches of the fam
lily on their bicycles from Charlotten-
lund. In the afternoon a drive with
the King was the rule-generally along
The record-union., 1898-11-11

the sea road, and dinner was never
later than six, very often earlier. Con-
versation, music, or games filed in the
evening, and at $50 the family met in
the Queens apartments for tea, a
"smorrebrod"-a sandwich with only
one piece of bread. At IL the day
ended for all in the palace. Such was
the simple daily life of the Queen and
her husband-it is well nigh impossible
to speak of one without the other. OF
their love for their children-for all
children-one has no space to tell; but
as a well-known Danish writer said:
Animals and people alike worship
their King in Denmark" And if one
substitutes Queen" for King" one
sums up in that phrase the general feel
ing Of the nation toward Queen Louise
