The fame of Narraganset park has made
a deep impression I'm the minds of horse
men, and inquiries have come I'm punches
for information concerning the early
closing purses. Before the entry blanks
could be gotten out APPLICATIONS for them
were coming from all over the country

Following is Prof. Houck's essay
on "aome and School-The Man
and Boy"
It is hardly necessary for me to
explain that it is the educational
side of this subject which 1 wish to
treat and principally the environ
ment Of the child which influences
this education, and the effects. The
little mind has not yet reached the
period of self assertion and is, there
fore, dependent for guidance and
support upon a stronger one. Can
we overestimate, then, the import
ance Of the mind upon which it
leans for support and help? This
little mind so plastic and suscepti-
BILE needs TO be handled with the
greatest Of care. Many Of the i'm
pressions made upon us when young
are certain to remain there throug-
out our entire lives. When children
have gone far enough to be able to
read a new problem presents itself
and a new crisis has arrived One
Of the chief instincts Of man is COM
panionship. Thiss is a dominant
feature Of nine-tehths of the human
race.
This instinct Of eompanionship is
a commendable one. Association
tends to knowledse, either good OF
bad, If good, the mind is embel-
lished and elevated, the manner
polished aud the rough edges Of our
barbarian ancestry are worn away,

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Amer spending four days in the
consideration Of the anti-oleumar-
garine bill the senate ad|uurned on
Thursday to meet again this after-
noon. In explanation Of the long
adjournment republican senator
said Friday, "As you know, the
majority Of the senators are men Of
affairs and, in addition to the vast
amount Of committee work which
devolves upon them, they are obliged
to devote some time TO their private
business. United States senators are
more regular in their attendance dur
ing the sessions than any other legis-
lative body in the world and it is
only right and proper that at times
during the session there should be
reccssess of sufficient length to permit
them to give to their private affairs
such attention as becomes inpea-
tive" Today the oleoiuargain, bill
will still be the order Of business but
Senator Proctor will press for an
early vote. The debate so far has
been the occasion of practically the
maiden speech Of Senator Dolliver
of Iowa, VINO made an eloquent APP
peal for the protection Of the farmers
interests, aud Of notice from Senator
Harris Of Kansas to the effect that he
would offer an amendment providing
for the control OF ''process," or reno
waited butter along similar lines to
those provided for the control of

Y, Canother was drowned some
time since in Lake Superior) died a
few days ago of pneumonia. He
was in the railroad business at Dun
more, Pa, was bright and energetic
and had just received promotion.
A peculiarly sad feature of his de-
cease is the fact that he was to have
been married April 10th to a Miss
Bronson, who not long since visited
here with the family of Mrs. Vyse I;
and Miss Nina Vyse was to have
been bridesmaid
Deceased was a grandson Of the
late Hon. E. B. Eldred who formerly
represented this county in the legis-
lature and who was we'll known.
Many friends of the family, which
is widely connected in this section.
will mourn with the parents the
untimely death of the young man
who was the only remaining flower
of their hopes and will also share
the grief of the young lady whose
sunny sky has thus been darkened
by the shadow of a great bereave-
ment.

Chemical Ratha Aasnred

DR.. g. w. Roberts OF Scranton,
who proposes erecting a building
here for giving chemical baths, was
in town last week aud was highly
gratihed with the cordial manner In
which his enterprise was received
and the alacrity displayed in oStain-
ing the site he preferred He will
return in the early part Of May to
take up his residence and arrange
20 erect the building. It will be
located OH the south east corner of
High and Third streets and will be
70x1OO the first story concrete. In
this will be placed 2stubs for giving
the baths The second story, of
wood, will be devoted to parlors, a
reading room and for resting place
for patients. If the project is sue
cessful additions will be made.
There are many reasons why those
in the states afflicted with cardiac
trouble will come here in preference
to visiting Bad Nauheim, in Ger
many, if the treatment is equally
efiicaoious, the chief because of the
easier access and the less expense.
He produced a letter from DR..
Schott, one Of the brothers who dis
covered the cure, which states the
baths can be given with the same
benefit here as in Germany.
Dr. Roberts. IS greatly impressed
with the purity of the water here,
the fine scenery, invigorating air
and magnificent roads. He is a
pleasant gentleman to meet. His
cordial manner and genial ways
create a favorable impression and
are in themselves a great specific
for depression. If he is as success
ful in infusing a healing principle
in the bodies of his patients as he
appears to be in disseminating a
cheerful mental atmosphere his
treatment will be an untold boon to
suffering humanity.

IS A republican senator who stands
very close to the administration ex-
pressed himself as follows when l
asked him for his opinion; 81 am
glad that Mr.. Richardson has taken
this action. l have no doubt but
that he intended to make political
capital out Of it and in that he will
fail. Nevertheless, with such
document as this report Of Captain
Christmas IN the possession Of the
press there were sure to be numerous
filings at the action Of the senate in
ratifying the Danish treaty. This
investigation will clear up the thing
aud leave no ground on which TO
base such insinuations. 1 presume
some Of the senators whose names
are mentioned in the report will ask
that a senate investigating commit
tee be also appointed. The whole
story will be sifled to the bottom. It
Is my opinion that this Christmas
was an adventurer who, having been
dismissed from the Danish army,
sought to make capital with his gov
ernment and secure his reinstatement
by promoting what the United States
has for some time desired, the pur-
chase Of the Danish islands. lie

LOCAL INSTITUTE.

Following Is the essay on "Idtera-
ture" by Miss Miunie Van Akin de-
livered at the iocal institute at the
Matamoras high school March 29d
To develop the child mentally,
morally and physically is the aim of
modern education, not merely to
teach him to know facts but to cul-
tivate tastes that will affect his life
for good after the restraining influ-
euces Of school are removed Every
one now comedies the value of books
in moulding character. A good
book reflnes and elevates-a vicious
or even trashy book degrados.
How TO bring children to enjoy
the better class of literature is a
problem that confronts as as teach
ers. Some teachers complain that
children as a rule do not like poetry
This is usually because they do not
understand the figurative language
Help them to connect the poem to
objects in their own experience.
Tue following is a description of the
shippers little daughter in Long
fellows "Wreok Of the Hesperus;
"Bluo were her eyes as the fairy flax
Her cheeks like the dawn Of day
And her bosom white as the hawthorn
buds
That ope In the month Of May"
Describe the color of the fairy
fax, the rosy dawn, the whiteness
Of the hawthorn buds, and notice
how the faces brighten.
In geography work, for a more
intimate knowledge of lands aud
peoples than that afforded by text
hooks, children may be referred to
books of travel, for an example,
Bayard Taylor's "Travels Afoot" or
Chas. Dudley Warmers "Winter on
the Nile.
Some one has said History cen
ters about some persons. In pri-
mary and junior grades, therefore,
history should be taught by biogra-
ply stories. In older grades, begin
ming with the early history of the
colonies, read 'The Landing of the
Pilgrims" calling attention to the
Iesolate shore which stretches out
before them, the brave spirit which
could not be daunted, and the noble
purpose for which they came-free-
dom to worship God. The home
life of the New England colony Is
pictured in "Miles Standish" and
"Bettie Alden"
The Leather Stocking Tales" by
Cooper with their stirring descrip-
tions of life on the frontier explains
the French and Indian war more
forcibly than could any teacher.
Since we as teachers have so great
an opportunity we ought to embrace
it. Surely nothing that we can do
will exert a greater influence upon
the lives of our pupils than to arouse
in them a desire TO read and to read
that which is pure and elevating.
