of the present oil find is it's close
proximity to the deep water at Port
Arthur. 1t is possible to build an
ordinary, cheap wooden flume that
will convey the contents of the
geyser, or any number of them,
direct to the sea and at practically
no cost at all, after the small
amount of money has been expend-
ed necessary to bnild the fume.
After the oil is once delivered on
board the ships at Port Arthur the
cheap ocean freight charges will
give it an advantage over any other
oil in the world. There is no doubt
but that the Beaumont oil fields
will be developed and to the fullest
extent in the shortest possible time.
There seems to be a suspicion
that the Beaumont oil is good for
Illuminating purposes, even if the
expert oil men here do try to make
the contrary appear. 1t is limited
that they do not wish the real
value of the oil to become known
at this early date for selfish and
commercial reasons. Whether there
is any truth in this statement or
not l have no means of ascertaining.

the inevitable consequences of in

We learn from the Chicago Pub
lie that Armour 4 Co., having sued
the city for the loss of refrigerator
cars which the firm claimed to have
been destroyed by a mob during
the railway strike Of 1894, it was
proved that the cars had not been
destroyed by the mob, but by indi-
viduals, some Of whom were en-
ployees Of that firm. This testi-
mony could not be overcome, and
the jury gave verdict for the city.
1t is evident that this firm and the
railroad magnates, aided by q. s.
deputy marsbals, burned these and
other cars for the double purpose
Of getting pay for their old rolling
stock at new prices and to manu-

"WHO IS THE DULL Boy

"To the Greek professor he is the
boy who cannot learn Greek. To the
professor of mathematics he is the
boy who cannot learn calculus. To
the whole literary or classical faculty
he is the poor fool whose brain will
only absorb facts of physics and
chemistry. To the witty man he is
that awful creature who sits solemn
over the latest joke or epigram. To
the serious man he is the laughing
jackass who persists in treating life
as a comedy. "In brief, the dull
boy is square peg whom some
body is trying to fit into a round
hole"
There is considerable humor and
some truth in the preceding. 1t is
too often true that teachers-es-
pecially high school teachers and
college professors-judge pupils
ability entirely by the interest he
shows or does not show in their
special branch. In too many in
statues pupils who are not dull are
driven out of school because Of q
lack of effort on the part of teach
ers-due either to laziness or in
difference-to find ont what the in
terests, abilities, and adaptabilities
of such pupils are. In all such
cases the only pity is that the teacher
does not have to 60 instead of the
pupil. On the other hand, it will
not do to become too sentimental in
dealing with the supposedly dull
boy and try to hunt easy things for
him to do on the supposition-false
in many instances-that he is "bOrn
short" Quite frequently instead
of being "born Short" he is born
lazy, and needs a little Of the old
fashioned stirring up that has help
ed many a boy to arouse himself to
do something before it was too late.

Giving Too Much Help.

The mind, like the body, grows
stronger by exercise. and the best
and most profitable exercise is that
which the child gets from his own
work. The teacher does the child
a great wrong in doing his work fol
him. The more pupil does fol
himself, the greater will be his self.
dependence and the more thorough
his mental discipline. As well
might we expect a child to grow
physically strong if continually
carried in the nurses arms, as eX.
pect him to grow mentally strong
while receiving the constant help of
the teacher. 1t is what the child
does for himself that strengthens
his mental faculties and fits him fol
his subsequent work.
The pupil should not be permit
ted, however, to waste time in
wrestling with difficulties beyond
his strength. He should have no
direct help in doing that which he
can do for himself, but it is useless
and Improbable to permit him TO
waste time in attempting to solve
problems beyond his comprehen-
sion. When the teacher once dis
covers that the child is unable to
overcome difficulty, it is then
time for him to give such sugges-
tion as will start proper train of
thought in the mind of the child,
and thus enable him to win a vic
tory.-F,om School Management, by

Cigarette Smoking.

DR.. G.. A. Clinton, of the San
Francisco board of education, has
made a special study of the effects
of cigarette smoking among the
public school children of that city,
and in the Midland Methodist ex-
presses himself as follows:
"a good deal has been said about
the evil of cigarette smoking, but
one half of the truth has never been
told. | have watched this thing
for long time, and ! say calmly
and deliberately that / believe
cigarette smoking is as bad habit
as opium smoking. | am talking
now of boys, remember. The effect
upon grown men is, of course, not
so marked.
ga cigarette fiend will lie and
steal, just as morphine or opium
fiend will lie and steal. Cigarette
smoking blunts the whole moral
nature. 1t has an appalling effect
upon the system. 1t first stimulates
and then stupefies the nerves. 1t
sends boys into consumption. 1t
gives them enlargement of the heart
and it sends them to the insane
asylum. l am physician to several
boys schools, and am often called
in to prescribe for palpitation OF
the heart. In nine cases out often
it is caused from the cigarette habit.
Every physician knows the cigarette
heart. | have seen bright boys
turned into ounces, and straight
forward, honest boys made into
miserable towards by cigarette
smoking. l am not exaggerating.
l am speaking the truth, that every
physician and nearly every teacher
knows. .'-Florida School Exponent.

Be Honest With Your Pupils.

The only sure way to gain the
love and respect Of yonr pupils is
to be perfectly honest with them.
Beginners are apt to affect certain
prin and preciseness, and the
affectation is perfectly evident to
the average child, for children are
exceedingly keen in penetrating
disguises Of manner. The best
course is to be frank. 1t takes
some teachers years to learn this,
aud some never learn it.-ROck5

BEAUMONT OIL WELL.

Beaumont, Tex, Jan 21.-Sun-
day was big day in Beaumont.
There were excursions from Hous-
ton, Kansas City and other points,
and strangers came in by the hund-
reds.
There has been talk about the
Standard Oil people having Is or
20 representatives on the grounds
for the purpose, if possible, to buy
the best location for the future
sinking Of oil wells. These rumors
are, however, of the usual intangi-
BILE kind, and no one apparently
knows anything as to their truth
or falsity.
There is no doubt among the oil
men here but that the Standard
people will get control Of the oil
land if they want it. Money is all
powerful and anyone will sell at
their own price.
Mr.. Percy McFadden, on whose
land the Lucas geyser is located,
when asked about the oil situation,
said: "We ore like the man who
bagged the wildcat; we want some
one to come and help us take it ont
of the bag. We have got some
thing here that is too big for US.
There is no doubt we have struck
the biggest thing in oil the world
has ever known. Those who have
not seen it cannot realize the mag.
nitude and Importance of our find.
We have oil.here in quantities that
are inexhaustible. and of a kind
that can be used for variety of
purposes. 1t can be used for paw
ing roads, as ballasting for road
beds, and in very short time l
have no doubt we will be shipping
it all over Central aud South Amer
ica.
No, we have not made any defin-
ite plans for the disposition of the
oil and we cannot do so until we
find what action the Standard Oil
Company is going to take in the
matter. They have several men in
the field, and of course, if they
take a notion to get possession of
the big we'll they will do SO, as
there is not enough organized cap
ital here to fight them"
Another prominent oil man of
Beaumont in speaking of the mat
ter said:
"There are at least fifteen men
here as agents of the Standard Oil
Co., all of whom have registered
under assumed names. They are
working both openly and secretly
and it is the hardest matter in the
world to get at the real truth Of the
matter, but it is certain that if they
are working to get hold Of the oil
fields here they will succeed"

Keeping Good Order In the SchOOlrOOm.
Good teachers do not try to
"keep order' by system of rules
and penalties, but expect order to
result from the proper employment
of pupils under direction of the
teacher. Again, good teachers do
not "keep order" by suppressing
disorderly tendencies Of pupils, but
by substituting exercises that will
furnish occasion for healthful ac-
tivity. Good teachers do not usually
desire to "keep order" that in point
of stiffness will meet the spin
drop" test, but they expect and
enjoy the "hum of industry" that
comes from the interested occupa-
ton Of pupils. Good teachers do
not "keep order' as an end, but as
a means Of carrying on the business

DIsINTEGRArION OF BRITISH EMPIRE

Lincoln, Neb. Jan. 2O.-Dr. f.
Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of
the University of Nebraska, preach
ed tonight at the First Baptist
Church on the life of Queen Vic
toria. "She has done what she
could" was the text chosen.
The chancellor spoke first of the
Queens great influence in elevating
womanhood. He said she became
a great woman power in the politi-
cal world as we'll as in the home
world. She had lifted up monar-
chy. Before her influence was felt,
monarchy in the Old World was
breaking down owing to the profig-
acy, idiocy and mediocrity of mon
archs. By her worthy life, her
wonderful intellectual and moral
qualities, the Queen had given
monarchy new life. He pointed
out that it was largely through her
influence that war between the
United States and England was pre-
vented in the early '6Os, when the
Trent affair was under discussion.
Her craftsmanship and wonderful
diplomacy prevented war. She had
been great moral power in the
world. The courts of Europe, he
said were noted for their unclean-
illness and social purity was rare
gem. Under the influence of her
character the world had been
strengthened morally. Her reign
was the great strength of the Brit
ish empire. The colonies became
devoted to the mother country on
account Of the graciousness Of the
Queen.
The chancellor predicted that
after her death the empire would
gradually disintegrate. Australia
would first seek independence and
then South Africa, ard perhaps
Canada would follow. This he
thought would come to pass because
there was no likelihood of such an
other ruler as the Queen.

ball for popularity in this country. Its
leisurely action is opposed by the Ameri-

lcricketers there is an amount of real
enjoyment about the sport to be obtain
ed in no other game. There is degree
of fairness, too, permeating the whole
atmosphere of cricket which is met in
few other paStimeS. In its pursuit are
taught valuable lessons of patience, I'M
aselfishness and stlf-contro. Cricket has
ever been fortunate in the possession
of men who have devoted their time,
