TAMMANY'S TRICK BUDGET.

When the old Board Of Estimate made
up before election a budget for 1902 for it's
SUCCESSORS it cut things down unsparingly.
knowing that under the new Charter the
incoming board would remodel the budget.
Meantime it was worth while for campaign
purposes to ory economy II Tammany
won the election no harm would be done;
if she lost. the winner could be saddled
with the odium Of raising the Tammany
figures
The Board OF Estimate will begin this
week the revision OF the budget and will
make no increases II IL can help II. The
Tammany budget called for an expenditure
of SOS ,OOO, 900.
II is the opinion OF Mr.. Grout that de-
Gberate attempt was made 10 embarrass
the Low government by leaving out many
essential items For Instance. estimates
for supplies for the various departments,
which will mean an expenditure of fully
500, 900, were omitted.

CARVED GEMS TO BE SOLD.
An Interesting Collection That Was Given
TO the Charity Organization Society.

A friend Of the Charity Organization
Society who has for thirty years resided
abroad has presented to the society a
collection Of antique and medieval carved
gems and reproductions. in intaglio and
cameo, which are to be sold for the benefit
Of the society and the Provident Relief
Fund. The collection is agrowth OF many
years and the specimens have been pur-
chased mainly in Italy.
There are in the neighborhood Of eleven
hundred of them. One hundred OF them
are from the collection Of Prince Poniatow-
ski. the history OF whose collection is famil-
lar to those greatly interested in historic
gem carvings. When It was dispersed in the
middle Of the bst century the British
Museum deemed II advisable to make
purchases from it because Of the interest
ing character Of It's contents. although it
had been learned that not all OF It's possess
sions were antique.
The gift to the Charity Organization
Society has been placed In the hands Of
Tiffany & Co., who, in view Of the charitable
end to which the money realized on the
carvings is TO be put, have consented to
take charge of the sale Of the gems. which
will be begun at their store on March TO-
The gems will be opened to exhibition
at Tifanys on that day, and will be dis
posed of at private sale individually or in
groups, although it Is hoped by the Charity
Organization Society that some one will
desire to keep the Poniatowsh specimens
together. These are valued at from $50
to $3.50 each, and the other gems range in
value from IS to 500 each.
The collection has been catalogued by
George n. Olcott, professor Of Roman
Archaeology at Colombia University. Car
nelian. sardonyx and chslcedony. sard,
amethyst and agate, are few OF the stones
used by the artist lapidaries. and many OF
the works bear signatures. A crescent
and seven stars in white carved on a deep

cameo carving OF a sixteenth century
tItui'phal procession. an intaglio OF Greek
girl IN deep sorrow, which the cataloguer
conjectures may have been intended TO
represent Ariadne abandoned by Dionysus,
an intaglio bust of Juno in yellow sard,
a cameo head Of a negro boy in a black
layer OF stone on a brown ground and
neurological giants in intaglio put down
as Graco-Roman.
Among the Poniatowsh carvings is a
the winds in aid Of the Trojans, a chalced-
ony piece showing Ulysses in the cave Of
Polyphemus, and an elaborate carving
In sardonyx depicting Hercules pointing
out TO the centsur Nessus where to deposit
Dejanira, whom he is ferrying across the
Evenus. The fall OF Troy is there in car
nelian, and 80 are Mercury and Muta in a
group at the entrance to the internal

various old seals and amulets, scarabs,
broken portions Of ancient rings and carv-
ings mounted and unmounted, many OF
them found at well-known sites Of classic

members Of the family with Mr.. Tappen

lection of votes to have been fully

idence to be gathered sustain their

The Democrats gained no advan-
tage from the election law which they
enacted after great expense to the
State. On the contrary, in those sec
tions of the State where the colored
vote, which the law seeks to elimin-
ate, is the largest, the Republicans
were the gamers rather than the los
ers by its provisions. This is partic-
ularly true in the First and Fifth dis
tricts, in both of which tie colored
vote is large, and in which the Re-
publicans show phenomenal gains, as
compared with the results of last year.
The law, as was the case last year,
provoked trouble. In one precinct
in Anne Arundel county the ballots
were blurred, and the judges refused
to distribute or receive them until af-
ter they had been duly authorized by
the counsel to the Board of Election
Supervisors. In Somerset county 10
ballots, which were marked with a
pen instead of a pencil are in dispute.
In each case no important result is at
stake, but in event of a close election
both would haYe a most important
bearing.
On the Eastern Shore the fact seems
to be demonstrated by the small vote
polled by the Democrats that elections
there without liberal expenditure of
cash do not produce the results de-
sired by politicians. The prospect is,
therefore, that in the future the Dem
ocrats will use money as literally in
the district as they have heretofore.

Shore was the small Democratic ma

"THE RECITATION"
A Good Paper Read Before the Teachers
Institute by Miss Rosa Janoske.

A Good Paper Read Before the Teachers
Institute by Miss Rosa Janoske.
When pupils come to recite let them
stand up or sit down, assuming what
eyer easy and natural position they
prefer. The objects to be insisted on
in the recitation are animation, at
tention and enthusiasm. If you at
tain these, the pupils are in order,
whatever they may do.
The natural activities of the child
will not be suppressed. If a boy
jumps up and nearly explodes with
eagerness, let him do it. If girl
skips up and down with cheeks aglow,
all desire of giving the required in
formation, do not reprove her. But
require all movements to be natural,
graceful and spontaneous, and fairly
quiet. So far as absolute quiet is con-
cerned that had better be sacrificed
to the interest in the recitation.
When children are quite unconscious
of their actions, and the wise teacher
had better be glad that their interest
makes them animated.
One object in the recitation to be
secured is to induce the pupils to
talk easily and freely with the teach
er. Some children seem to shut up
their minds and mouths when they
come into the schoolroom. They are
bright enough on the playground,
and at home, but are dull and dumb
when at recitation. This usually re-
suits from fright and timidity, and
must be relieved by the teacher.
Her genial influence and manner
must open the gentle mind as the
warm breath of the morning sun
opens the rose, therefore relieve the
embarrassment; be gentle, in order to
disarm fear or suspicion; be enter
tanning, in order to attract and direct.
Teachers should insist upon pupils
answering in full, complete, correct
sentences and not be satisfied with
monosyllabic answers. Have pupils
make complete statements. 1t is easy
to get them into this habit, and it is
for their benefit; it trains them to ex-
press their thoughts in full.
Exercises should not be continued
till pupils grow weary. Stop at an
exciting place; leaye them eager to
know more. Also give them plenty
of ground to work on until the next
recitation. Education is essentially
dependent upon thinking. Thought
getting and thought-making are
among its main objects.
In the primary class the recitation

THE GENERAL RESULT,

There seems to be no doubt that
the Republicans have carried the
House of Representatives by a COM
Portable though small majority. The
Democrats have made perceptible
gains over their strength in the pres
ent House, but apparently only
enough to wipe out about half of the
present Republican plurality of for
ty-five. That some gain would be
made by the Democrats over the show
ing of 1900 was regarded as practical
ly certain before the event, and it was
held to be equally certain that there
would not be a Democratic tidal
wave;" the only point in doubt was
whether the Democrats would have a
small plurality in the House or wheth-
er the Republicans would remain III
control by a small margin. This
doubt has been decided by the people
in favor of the Republicans.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-11-06

is the main thing, for the child is as
yet unable to study and prepare a
lesson for itself The teacher who
gives her primary class one lesson in
six hours, and compels them to sit
during all that time looking at their
books with the order, Now, study
your lesson" has surely become side
tracked from the line of true teach
ing. How can a child study his les
son when he doesn't know "a" from
any of the other twenty-five letters
that compose the alphabet? Take it
to yourselves, teachers; suppose you
were to study German under Ger
man professor, and he gave you a
book and told you to study your les
son, and you didn't know a single
letter in the German alphabet by
sight or sound, how are you going to
study your lesson? No doubt you
would search. about you for some
thing with which to pass away some
of your time. Small blame to the
little folks, if they get into mischief,
when teacher gives them lesson
day and requires them to study
without giving them a thought to
study on, and there are teachers in
this county making this mistake.
Children learn rapidly when they are
made to think and are given objects
of thought. The fuller the thought
the deeper the impression; the livelier
the attention, the more rapid the &C
QUESTION. One needs, particularly,
to have all the pupils before her of
one grade of advancement and intel
ligence, or as nearly so as possible.
But teacher cannot handle IS or 20
pupils on bench at once, and class
of that size should be divided into
two sections, according to advance
ment.
A recitation should never be inter-
rupted by pupil from his seat, vol
unteering to answer or asking infor-
nation. 1t is none of his business.
He has his own work to attend to,
and should not be permitted to listen
to what is going ON at the recitation
bench. Provide ample busy work
for pupils at their seats and devote
yourself exclusively to the pupils you
have before you. Do so quietly, in
moderate, natural tones of voice, and
without any hurry or furry. Take
things quietly. Do not get nervous
or excited; keep command of the sit
uation and depend for your order and
discipline upon the interested occu-
patton of your pupils, whether in
their seats or at their recitation
bench.
