The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-04-02

One way to judge of a school is to
notice the voices of teachers and pu-
pills. Do their tones, as they address
each other, show that there is SYM
pathy between them? That is one of
the first qualifications of good teach
er-to be in full sympathy with all
the children and with each child.
And this should be the case whether
it is lessons or play, or even if the
child is mischievous or naughty. If
the child feels the sadness in the
teachers voice, not the vexation-
feels that the teacher is sorry for and
with him, then the discipline takes
full effect. To help child to con-
quer himself is much better than to
conquer him. 'She pities a Teller
and then it makes We ashamed to be
so mean.

Angio-lnClian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds a kind of levee. The In
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has 10 watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one lnsect-a little, fiat,
brown, shining creature-whlch emits
the worst odor in the world. If one OF
these touches your food the whole Is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
crushed the whole room becomes filled
with its disgusting smell and is unln-
habltable for the next half hour. So
these abomlnable insects fly about
with impunity while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helpless
ly on.

Here is II full-hloeded, savage Yaqui
Indian hard at work in the great So
Moran desert near Torres. Mexico. He
is digging a big Bisnaga cactus, and the
result of his labor has recently been
transferred to the New York Botanical
gardens. where it is now growing as
usual in the glass house.
The popularity of this Yaqul and Of
nearly all his tribe is simply stated.
When he can get work and pay he is
the best of laborers. When he cannot
get work he joins all of his fellow
Yaquls who are idle, and the troop pro-
eeeds to sally forth to rob aud pillage
farms and small towns and massacre
all who oppose them.
They ehperfully engage the Mexican
troops, exterminating and scattering an
entire command. They have success
fully fought the Mexican troops since
the foundation of that country and are
as unconquered to-day ms ever. They
must have work and pay or war.

LA DE- oLARENONI men, although under
the American average In size, are splen-
did specimens of manhood. Many of
both sexes have curling hair and all
are fair-haired and blue-eyed. Sports
among them hold almost as high IL
place as among the ancient Greeks.
They are skilled III simple arts and
have all kinds of athletic exercises.
Both man and woman are wonderfully
graceful dancers, and In these national
exercises they adorn themselves with
all kinds of curious ornaments-bits Of
colored stone, claws of birds and gay
feathers and flowers. They are thor
oughly domestic and they keep their
houses as neat as any model house
keeper of our own country. They are
clean IN every way, although their
homes are simple bamboo houses like
those Of the brown natives.
Originally these people were Moham-
medans. Now they are being Christian

GEORGE, THE TRAMP.
m Well After as Before Losing
Both Legs.

A certain George was once swinging
under passenger train, says Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, and noticing
that he had aroused the interest of
several young ladies on the station
platform, he did not at once go under
to the trucks, but held to the truss
rod with only one hand, while with
the other he waved handke rchief for
effect. The effect was startling and.
for George, disastrous, both legs be-
ing pinched off near the knee. He
recovered from the shock and opera
ton and in few weeks was stamping
about in clumsy boots" taking
nine-inch step, but he was very much
subdued for long time, and quite I'M
like the hobo George of normal limb
length. However, one day George hap
pened to be stumping along the depot
platform when a passenger train came
in; it conjured up fascinating recol-
lections. He looked down at his poor
MANNED stumps and swore; he looked
at the train and considered. Present
ly he shuffied to the track, reaching up
for the truss rod on the smoker. The
train started; George held on, swing
ing under to see if his stumps would
reach the brake beam. They did.
George walks in exceedingly ungain-
ly fashion, but then he doesn't walk
much. He travels otherwise, and from
20 to so miles an hour. He can swing
mis- light, abridged body under train
in a way bewildering to brakemen.
