Some Scientific Advice on Train
ing Of Youngsters.
CONCENTRATION OF THE MIND
Limitation of the AgeS-Warning to
Teachers and Parents.
BoyS-LeSSons.

1t is a recognized maxim that it is
skill and dexterity in any art unless the
foundation has been laid in the forma-
ton of brain cells and the training OF
the motor nerves before the age of 16.
This fact is a powerful argument in
favor of manual training in the public
schools says a scientific journal. But
that the school child shall get all the
good and none of the harm of teach
ing, it is necessary that the teacher
shall possess not only infinite patti
ence, but a very high order of intelli-
gence. The brain of children is often
most seriously injured by the ignor-
ance of the teacher of the physiologi-
cal laws on which the effective tuition
of the young is based. The length of
time that a child years of age can
concentrate its mind does not exceed
seven minutes. At the age of a
child's attention can easily be held for
ten minutes. At the age of II the mind
should not be directed to one subject
longer than seventeen minutes. This
explains why it is a sin to keep a child
of this age, say at the piano, more
than fifteen minutes. Let the child go
| TO something else Tor While, and then
go back to the piano for another quar-
ter of an hour, if necessary; but the
rule is never to allow any work to be
continued after the brain and nerves
| have become fatigued. This explains
much of the restlessness and inatten-
ton of children, which, oftener than
not, has a physical basis. A boys
brain undergoes a certain shrinkage at
the age of IA Cor Is, when it actually
weighs less than it did two or three
| years before. This accounts for the
carefessness, laZiness and general Gus
sedness of boys of this age. Boys
should not be taken from school a.
such time, but parents should have
patience. and allow the temporary con-
dition of brain cells to run it's course
year or two, when the boy will be
! able to take up his studies with renew
ed industry and interest. Tt is also
! conclusively proved that the brain OF
| a child is always most active between
| 80 and 1870 in the morning. All
| lessons, therefore, requiring the exer-
/ else of their reasoning powers-such as
arithmetic and grammar-should be a
! this hour.

MRS GLADSTONE.

Mr. Smalley, in his "reminiscences OF
Gladstone in Harper's, dwells extern
sively on Mrs. Gladstone's strong int1u-
ence over her distinguished husband,
not only in domestic, but in public af-
fairs. In the garden at Hawarden one
evening Mr.. Gladstone talked long and
earnestly with visitor on political
topic in which they were mutually in
terested 1t was getting late, and Mrs.
Gladstone appeared upon the scene.
''You know, William" said she. that
you have to speak tomorrow, and it is
very damp: don't you think you ought
TO go in?" Yes he replied, quite
time"-then. with one of those express
sions of humor on his face or in his
voice, he said to his visitor, softly:
1--WE will take another turn to vindi-
cate our Independence" and they did.
Then Mrs. Gladstone had her way.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Encourag-

Wax Department today from the Off
GERS commanding troops in those de-

Gen. Otis at Manila and Gen. Henry
at San Juan were in response to tele-
graphic inquiries by the Secretary of
War based on reports of a disquieting
nature which have reached the officials
here. That from Gen. Otis was partic-
ularly gratifying to the President and
Secretary Alger. 1t is as follows:

New Plan for Abolition of the Slave
Trade.
The mode in which the BLACK Bona
parte," Samory, who has lately been
captured in Africa gradually built up
power that defied the Europeans fol
twenty years, shows an ingenious use
of the slave trade, as the basis for a
military power that was not to be de-
spised Col. Combes, of the British
service, who fought against him for
years, thinks that it was not only the
character, tactical ability, and tyran-
nical power of Samory that gave him
strength, but still more the ingenious
means by which he took pains to pro-
vide himself with arms of precision.
He said to himself that if he had these
not a tribe in the bend of the Niger
could resist him. Beginning by max
ing few captives he exchang-
for good rifles or the means of procur-
ing them, and thus provided he was
able to make raids, and to bring large
number of slaves into market, always
investing his gains in rifles and NUM-
lions of war. Thus he brought into
subsection the inferior peoples of the
region, regarding them as a sort of
| war treasury upon which he could
draw at need. To prevent a similar
performance on the part of some other
African chief, Col Combes says the
slave trade must be stopped and he
urges that military posts should be es-
tablished on all the frontier lines sep
arating the empire of SamOry from the
hinterland of the British territories
of Sierra Leone and Lagos as we'll as
from the Republic of Liberia. If this
be done, he says, Samory can have NJ
successor, because the sources of his
| Stren9t will be CT off.

Why not generate your power from

Electric Power being used, saves the

German Newspaper Comment on the Sit
uation in the philippines.
BERLIS, Lay 2.-The newspapers Of
German. commenting upon the latest
news from the Philippine islands, ex-
press the nope that the United States
will now end the hostilities in the far
East. The Frankfurter Zeitung says:
We trust that President Mckinley
and his advisers will not be mlsled by
lingo shoutings, but that they will listen
to the voice of the Filipinos as ex-
pressed through their leaders and to the
voice of the American nation as ex-
pressed by the serious press and the
declarations of sober-minded politicians.
We have never doubted the ability of
the Americans to enforce their will in
the Philippines, but now it seems that
the moment has come to make good the
wrong done and bring their material
interests in accord with the dictates OF
justice.
Tho Vossiche Zeitung, basing its COM
ment upon private advices from the
Philippine islands, says that the contin-
uance of the war is inficting grave in
jury upon German commercial inter-
ests and details number of cases in
support of this statement. The journal
last quoted says the German consul at
Iloilo made list Of everything belong
ing to German citizens there that was
destroyed or injured in the bomb bard
ment and submitted it to Major General
E. S. Otis. In reply the consul has re-
ceived from General Otis the statement
that the United States will not pay the
damages claimed, as Iloilo, at the time
of the bombardment, was still in pos
session of the Spaniards. Other German
merchants of Iloilo made representa-
lions of a like character to General Otis
and received similar replies.
The Vossiche Zeitung adds that these
and many more claims will probably
lead to protracted diplomatic negotia.
tions at Washington.

with signal corps party, engaged in
running a telegraph line, was camped
near the place. Major Kobbe sent the
army gunboat Cavadonga there and
found the party tolay in the town.
The Rio Gfande, since Major Kobbe
started, has been the highway for the
exodus of the natives, and today there
is continuous procession Of matched
canoes, with white flags, drifting down
the river and containing whole families
of twenty to thirty persons, with their
household goods and animals on board.
Thousands of these boats have passed
the army gunboats.
Nebraskans to Take Rest.
The Nebraska regiment marched
from San Fernando to Calumpit for a
30 days rest. The regiment numbers
about 800 weather beaten veterans. Two
of the companies are mere squads and
their battered canteens and shiny clothes
show unmistakeable marks Of rough
campaigning. But the soldiers are
happy. Several of them dropped by the
way from the heat but when they
boarded the special train at Calumpit,
bound for Manila, they yelled like
school boys and the other troops went
to their stations and cheered heartily.

WILL RESIST
Further Aggression by the Pow
erS Will Be Met by Armed
Opposition.
Mandarins Ordered to COncen-
trate All Their Available
Fighting Men
And Send Them to Oppose Fur
Their Advance of Germans Into
Shan Tung.
Arsenals Ordered to Push the
Manufacture of Arms With
All Haste.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 1s.-According
to news received by the Empress of In
dia. China will resist further aggression
by the flowers. That China intends to
oppose the advance of Germany in the
north is shown by the fact that recently
orders were sent to the mandarins and
taetaes of all districts and provinces, Or
dering them to concentrate what fight
ing men they could and prepare for war.
The arsenals have been ordered to push
forward the manufacture of arms and
ammunition with all haste. A late
edict places Viceroy Liu in charge of
the people. The Chinese navy also, &C.
cording to late reports, is getting ready
for an emergency.
Trouble has occurred recently in Shan
Tung and German missionaries have
been i'll treated. Germany is sending
expeditions to punish the natives, burn
ing villages and gradually pushing her
way inward, until very shortly she will
have possession of the whole province.
The Kobe Herald says that the Ger
man plan is to establish German king
dom, with Prince Henry as ruler, as
previously stated in Pekin dispatches.

PRESBYTERIANS MEET.

General Assembly at Minneapolis Will
BE Kept Very Busy.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 1S.-At II o'clock
a. M. the 18th annual assembly of. the
Presbyterian church IN the United
States will begin its sessions in West.
minister church in this city.
About $50 commissioners will be in
attendance from the % synods and the
assembly will bring to the city some. 81
foreign missionaries, besides many per-
sons interested in the eight auxiliary
boards and other church organizations,
including the seven women's foreign
missions boards The opening sermon
will be preached by the retiring moder.
orator, the Rev. Wallace Radcliffe
DID,, Of Washington, D. e.
In the afternoon the assembly will be
organized and new moderator elected
At least seven candidates for the mod
eratorship have been announced, but
there is prospect that the contest will
narrow down to one between the 'heresy
hunters" and those who are disposed to
overlook heterodox tendencies. The
Rev. William McKibben of Walnut
Hill church, Cincinnati, is sup.
posed to be the candidate of the con.
servatives, the other candidates
being Rev. DR.. R. F. Coyle, First
church, Oakland, CAL; Rev. DR.. R. F.
Sample, Westminster church, New
York; Rev. Matthias Haines, First
church, Indianapolis; Rev. Maltbie D.
Babcock, Brown Memorial church, Bal.
timore; Rev. Charles Dickey, president
Presbyterian hospital, Philadelphia;
DR.. Arthur j. B. Brown, New York,
secretary of the board of foreign mis-
sions.
The assembly has great mass OF
business to face. Among the more con-
spicuous subjects are the so-called
heresy case of DR.. Arthur G. McGiffert
of Union theological seminary, which
may be settled by the letter DR.. McGif-
fert is known to have addressed to the
assembly; the matter of restricting the
moderator's power; the union of the
Northern and Southern wings of the
church, and the standing of ministers
without pastorates. The work of the
eight boards, three special committees
and numerous routine matters will come
before the assembly, there being some
80 separate items on the docket. To dis.
pose of this business three sessions will
be held daily for 10 days at least, the
evening session being omitted until
later on. The board Of foreign missions
began its fourth annual conference
Tuesday,
