Disease on Stair Rails.

81 make it rule never to touch
stair rail, especially in an Office block
or public building" said a prominent
physician of this city. "Ihere is no
doubt in my mind that many con-
tagious diseases are communicated
through them, and the theory certainly
has common sense to back it. People
who are in good health very seldom use
the handrail in mounting flight of
stairs, but those who are sick or weak
are quite apt to need it's assistance. IL
they happen to have some contagious
disease, especially some form of ecze-
ma, the next person who comes in con-
tact with the rail stands an excellent
chance of catching it. have treated
several people for skin disease in my
private practice who first showed signs
of the malady on the palms of their
hands, and l am convinced that stair
rails We're the source of infection.
"There is historic example, by the
way, of the readiness with which GER
tain forms of eczema may be trans
ferred through some such an agency
as i suggest. During the siege Of
Toulon, Napoleon. who was then
sublieutenant of artillery, is said to
have snatched the swabbing rod from
a clumsy gunner and helped serve the
piece himself for several rounds. The
gunner happened to have an unpleas-
ant skin disease, and the sublieutenant
was an emperor before he got rid Of
it."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

Hon. A. c. Hobart. of Cherokee,
Iowa, spent portion of today in Deni-
son interviewing his republican friends
relative to the support of his candidacy
for Secretary of State. Mr., Hobart is
an able lawyer and his course in the
legislature proved him to be a warm
friend of the people. His opposition is
chiefly from democratic sources such
as the Des Moines Leader, and is add
ing to his strength throughout the
state. He will in all probability be
the republican nominee, ard he is as
good man as could be placed at the
head OF our state ticket. We believe
we voice the sentiment OF the republi-
can workers of Crawford county, when
we say that Senator Hobart is their
choice

Miss Matte Miles will return on
Thursday to her home at Chicago.
Miss Miles expects to sail next October
for Paris. After short time spent in
that city she will go to Dresden, spend
ing some time at that place in the study
OF art, and will then 90 to South Anne
RIGA. where she will reside for period.
Miss Miles has had most successful
career as an artist and all her success
has been self wrought. No Denison
young person has achieved more. and
has shown more determined and ex
allied ambition. After graduating from
our Denison schools in 1881 Miss Miles
taught until she had obtained sufficient
money to go to Chicago to study art.
While in the art school she supported
herself by crayon work. She returned
to Denison and her art classes and her
sufficient funds to pursue her studies
still further. and she afterwards estab-
lished a studio in Chicago. Her work
in the big city has been remarkable.
Her miniature work has been acknowl-
edged as the best of any western artist
and she has for her patrons the wealth
lest and most distinguished people of
Chicago. While in Dresden Miss
Miles will engage as laborer in the
great Dresden potteries. hoping to
learn the process by which the beauti-
full Dresden ware is made. We predict
for her unbounded success and hope
that this brave girl will have deserved
happiness and prosperity throughout
life.

THE QUEST QUITE HOPELESS.
Young Reporter Encounters a Nom
Commital Chinaman.

An interesting story Is told apropos
of reporters zeal to obtain news
from the Chinese legation in Wash
ington, d. c., regarding affairs in
Pekin. relates the Chicago News. He
was an enterprising young fellow sent
by his editor to take the place Of
the regular Washington correspondent,
who was away on his vacation, and he
had spent the whole morning in the
vicinity of the legation endeavoring to
pick up something not knowing that
the most direct way would have been
to see Minister Wu himself, who Is
invariably kind about granting inter-
views. He was about to abandon his
project when an intelligent looking
and wel-dressed Chinaman came
down the steps of the legation and
responded so pleasantly to his greet
ings that he bombarded him with a
whole list of questions, to which the
polite Celestial repeatedly answered:
Dun know, dun know" Finally,
quite desperate at his inability to
make something out OF what he looked
upon as a rare chance, a walk with
one of the legations secretaries, he
asked, appealingly:
"Well, surely you know something
of the dowager empress; what do you
think of her?"
Me no thinkee,' responded the
Chinaman, "me washee," and with this
parting announcement he disappeared
into a laundry nearby, of which he
turned out to be the proprietor.

DON'T CROWD THE PUPILS.
Some Excellent Advice for Both
Teachers and Parents.

IeaCuerS ana FarenCS.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.Tribune
Every child in normal conditions of
physical and mental activity loves to
acquire knowledge. He thirsts for it,
and not moment of his wakeful
hours is there not given to it's pursuit
in some way Or another. The child
wants, however, to acquire it easily
and not by force in any form. Some
children desire one kind of knowledge,
others another kind. One boy will,
for instance, delight in observing a
carpenter or a blacksmith at work.
and wants to know the why and the
wherefore of the mechanics every
move; another loves to linger around
a store watching the merchant or his
assistants dispensing goods to CUSTOM
ers and receiving pay therefore; an
other likes the fields. watches the
husbandman turning up the soil with
the plowshare or casting the seed into
the ground, or again reaping the abun-
dant harvest still another loves
books, and as soon as he can read
finds his most cherished companion in
their perusal and study.
Happy Is that teacher, invaluable,
indeed, is he, gifted with power to
discern the various tastes and
peculiarities of his little subjects, and
thus enabled to lead them on to
knowledge on the lines they like best.
But right here some one will, we know.
object. that the teacher, to carry out
this principle, must make as many
classes as there are individuals in the
school. We answer that the success
full teacher Is he only who imparts
instruction to each individual pupil
in accordance with that pupils tastes
and capacity. To do so he need not
make of each pupil distinct class.
but, however he divides his scholars
for convenience OF instruction or dis
oipline. he must constantly keep in
mind the characteristics, tendencies
and capabilities of each pupil. The
efficient and well-trained teacher finds
no difficulty in so doing. The other
kind of teacher unfortunately very
numerous, ever in state of confusion
himself, keeps his school in a similar
condition.
If teachers We're all duly qualified
by temperament, education and train
ing for their important work, the
school would soon be everywhere a
place of attraction for most of the
young. Everything does not, however,
depend on the teacher, A great deal
depends on parents, Children without
good home training, or with home
training removed but little from bar
Darism. are great hindrance to the
work of teachers. Such children not
only do not learn themselves. but pre-
vent others from so doing, and their
parents are often unreasonable enough
TO blame the teachers because, out
OF such unpromising material, they do
not make proficient students. Every
parent. every citizen, every commun-
ity should be helpful to the teacher
His work is at best difficult But.
even If diflicult, 1t can be made pleas
