Before all other qualifications, how eyer, the teachers character is the Fundamental requisite That must be above reproach in all things, says the Atlantic Monthly Milton's words about the poetic power are specially true in regard to the power to teach. He who would not be frustrate," said the great poet, Of his hope to write well hereafter in laudable things, must himself be true poern." He who would not be illustrate of his hope to teach well at any time ought himself to be lofty exemplar of the virtues he would impress upon his pupils. The teacher who stands before class for hours every day ought to exert great CT influence even than the clergyman who speaks from the pulpit one day in the week, and he ought at least to have an equally lofty character, known and recognized by all men. The teacher who is master of his subject, and who has this nobility of character, needs no help of artiices to assist him in governing his pupils he has simply to be, and they obey.

 Out upon the soured, scribbling banes who are perpetually prating of their hilli declaims the righteous scribe of a southern exchange, Heaven knows the world has sorrow enough without making record of it! Ye are not ministers of woe and seourges of humanity and retributive executioners. Ye are ministers. Ye are merry makers. Ye are mountebanks. Lo, your rash audience waiting patiently with their tractable emotions! Do not say to them: This is ordure, these are maggots! Death turks in every thing" They know it. Cover the un- slightly things with shawls of silk and scattering of roses! We know, we know, we merry cynics. Yet is it a most skillful. charitable deception. Ay, friends, that is the poets duty; to make things beautiful, and pleasant, to gild the tarnished world.

 It was bargain day on Sixth avenue, New York, and 20 baby car riages, all properly checked, were ranged up in front of a department store, while the mothers were inside buying things they didn't need. Suddenly a baby at one end of the line stood up, toppled over against the next carriage, and in a moment all the carriages went over like ninepins, sending the kids sprawling about the sidewalk. It took long time to identify them, for an attendant had put them back in- discriminatory, and they were not checked like the perambulators. This thrilling incident shows that the only sure way to avoid similar catastrophes would be to brand each child with number and hang a corresponding number round the mothers neck, like . bathroom key.

I The world abounds in rascals and fools, but there are no bigger rascals or greater fools than those who at tempt to steal from Uncle Sam. And of all who attempt it there are no big ger fools than the dishonest employees of the post office, says the Indianapo- lis News. A postal clerk that thinks he can steal and not be caught knows very little of the organization or ma chinery of the department, The op- portunities for him to steal are numer- ous, but the temptation must be very great to overcome the certainty of de- lection. Shrewd as the thief may be, or thinks he is, the government de- tectives are shrewder. They know all tue ins and outs of the thieving busi- ness. With the novice in theft 1t is an experiment, put with the post of- flee inspectors it is science. They track thieves like bloodhounds, and run them down with inevitable csr- taInty.

Lovers or animals will be glad to hear that the department of agriculture has found a way to enforce the so- called "2S hour law" which requires railroad companies to unload cattle from the cars in which they are trans ported, give them water and rest of five hours once in every period of 2S hours. For some time the law has been virtually a dead letter The rail- road companies in general, pursuing the course which was most convenient or most profitable, have paid their fines without complaint and broken the law again. Now, however, the department of agriculture has adopted the plan of bringing civil suits for damages in the name and for the benefit of the United States. Papers fixing damages at 5000 in each case have been prepared in 1,2OO suits against railroads, many of which are now ready to compromise the claims rather than to defend the suits.

The imperial family of Japan is said to dwell together in harmony un- der circumstances that would cause domestic discord, if not disruption, in an ordinary American family. Her majesty the empress Is several years older than the mikado and though she is the only wife he has ever had she is not the mother of the five chill dren-the crown prince and four princeses-of whom the emperor is the father. Tn case she should become the mother of a son, which. as she is 5s years old. is exceedingly improb- able. the illegitimate children of the emperor would have to stand aside. Now they are accorded the full hon. ors due to members of the imperial family.

A testy Chicago doctor recently cured bad case of imaginary illness by unique treatment He was stopped on the street by a woman patient who was ways suffering from some imaginary trouble. The doctor, who was known for his intolerance of such malades. after listening impatiently to the woman's detailed account of all h.: feelings and symptoms. told her to shut her eyes and put out her tongue. She promptly did 90. On opening her eyes in a few seconds the doctor was nowhere to be seen, and the woman aEoke to the fact that he had left her standing by herself in busy thorOughfsre with her eyes shut and her tongue hanging out The treatment cured her. but lost a good patient for the doctor.
