H. c. Sampson of Pullman made a
most interesting talk on reading.
Miss Spalenka made another of her
interesting talks to the Primary de-
partment during their first period,
after which Miss Rossman talked on
music in the schools. She talked
of special points to be taught in this
special kind of music, and the best
ways to teach them. Miss Rossman

school music.
The gathering Of teachers was

The institute convened again at 1880.
This was a Joint session OF the three
departments with Professor Selleck

letter..

One way, then, to keep our friend
ships in repair" is to regard letter
writing as duty If not pleasure.
High mettled souls find pleasure in du-
ty. Marcus Aurelius, austere moralist
as he was, tells us in his "Meditations"
that he had learned from one of his
friends, mot often nor without great
necessity, to say, or to write to any
man in letter, am not at leisure, nor
in this manner still to put off those du-
ties which we owe to our friends and
acquaintances under pretense of ur-
gent affairs"
Now, after resolutely determining
that nothing shall interfere with the
letter you owe to your friends, see to
it that it shall reflect yourself. Be not
stilted. Use the plain everyday Eng
lish Of your ordinary conversation.
Some there are who fill their written
pages with sesquipedalian terms from
Latin and Greek, passing by the strong
terse Anglo-Saxon idioms. They ire
gret their inability to perform" certain
things, when it would be so much more
natural to say, II am so sorry not to
be able to go to dinner this even

fectatton which must be part of the
character and goes to show the truth

Thrale-"A mans soul lies naked in

The Colmuck SteDpes,

Consumption spares the natives Of
the Calmuck steppes, on the border of
Asia and southern Russia. Lung dis
eases Of all sorts are remarkable by
their absence, SO much so that Russian
physicians undertook to ferret out the
cause Of the immunity and gave to the
world the drink known as koumiss, or
fermented mares milk. That beverage
Of the steppes, they thought, must have
something to do with the sound lungs
Of the native. But the actual connec-
ton Of cause and effect has been ex-
planned as follows: The elevated table
lands east of the Volga are almost
treeless, fuel is scarce, and. as the win
ter climate Is rather severe, nlne-tenths
Of the population make clothing supply
the deficit of stove heat. In their cool,
airy tent cabins lung microbes get no
living chance, but whenever Calmuck
cattle baron accumulates surplus of
rubles he is apt to drive to one Of the
neighboring cities and cough as much
as the rest Of his civilized fellow men.

The Story of the Kohinoor

Lord Dalhousie's name will always
be intimately associated with the ia
nous Kohinoor diamond, and the story
Of how he brought it from India to
England has been retold in recent
book. In 1S49, after the second Sikh
war, Dalhousie conhscated the stone on
account Of the heavy debt owing the
East India company by the Lahore
state. Dalhousie sent it to Queen Vic
toria. Great care had to be exercised
in carrying it across India. "The tas-
sells Of the armlet in which the dia-
mond was SET" says the account, "had
been cut off to diminish the bulk, and
Lady Dalhousie had inclosed the arm
let with its jewel in leather bag, this
again being sewed into a belt lined
with chamois leather, which Dalhousie
wore by night and day. Two dogs
were chained to the governor gen.
erals camp bed, and no one but his
wife and Captain Ramsay was in the
secret Of the Jewels concealment."

One Of the Delights of Life.

When old Kaiser Wilhelm was still
prince Of Prussia he had one day at
Babelsberg, near Potsdam, his beau
tiful and ever favorite residence, q
visit from that prince among land
scape gardeners, Furst Hermann Won
Puckler- Muskau, who somewhat blunt
ly expressed his disappointment at the
slow rate of progress in certain i'm
provements in the grounds, improve
ments which he had himself suggested
on the occasion Of a previous visit.
The future emperor pleaded his
limited means. "Does your royal
highness never borrow money"
Queried Prince Puckler, evidently
much amazed. "Never, my dear
prince" was the smiling reply. "Then
your royal highness has never tasted
nfe's greatest delight-to wit, the
pleasure Of finding yourself able to

ART OF TAxIDERMY.
0tuhlng and Mounting Animals and
Birds IL Complicated.

stumng and Mounting Animals and
Birds IL Complicated.
The process Of stuffing and mount
Ing birds and animals, called taxi
dermy, is a more complicated one than
the average layman supposes. Some
seem to have the impression that It is
simply necessary to remove the "in-
sides" of the corpse and then fill up
the hole with some soft material that
will fill out the skin. The result from
such performance would be interest
Ing, but it would bear mighty little re-
semblance to the original animal.
The processes used in stufhng and
mounting bird and mammal differ
somewhat, and each taxidermist has
his individual method of working.
Some taxidermists prefer to work on
mammals, others prefer birds. And
there is even difference In birds, some
taxidermists having particular skill in
mounting the small birds, while others
prefer the large, heavy specimens.
The first thing to do with bird to
be mounted is, Of course, to remove
the skin, or, rather, one might say, to
remove the meat or flesh from inside
the skin, as it is the skin that is the
part to be saved. This has to be done
very thoroughly, as every particle Of
flesh must be taken out before any
thing further is done. The leaving Of
any flesh in the finished specimen
would ruin the entire work. The re-
moval Of the flesh from the body
proper is comparatively simple mat
ter, the more difficult work being when
one comes to the legs, neck and wings.
Usually almost all of this is done from
the one cut in the skin at the under
side of the bird, turning the skin back
like stocking over the legs and the
neck so as to reach the flesh Of these
parts. The wings are always rather
bothersome, and it is necessary to
make another small cut under them
on the outside.
Once the flesh Is all removed-in the
case Of some birds where there Is much
fat, such as ducks, it is necessary to
be careful and get off from the skin
every vestige Of the grease-then the
skin is prepared by rubbing into 1t
mixture Of dry alum and arsenic. The
alum is to help dry out the skin, while
the arsenic poisons it and so keeps it
free from all ver1nin which would
otherwise soon spoil the finished speci-
men. To one ignorant Of the science
there could be nothing much more
hopeless than the limp skin of bird
particularly large bird. Yet it is
the whole thing, and the body must all
be supplied by the skill Of the opera
tor. For this purpose form is made
resembling as closely as possible the
interior of the bird. AS all birds vary
much in size, even those of the same
variety, it will be seen that this is not
an absolutely simple matter. Meas
urements are taken before the bird is
but even with this help the
must have almost another
sense that will enable him to make the
form Of the proper shape and size,
with slight depressions in the surface
for the legs and wings.-Springfeld

Oberlin, O., Feb. &C. T. Beck
with, president of the defunct Ciu.
zens' National bank Of this city, died
at lO:45 o'clock Sunday night after
TWO days of Inconsistencies, during
which dissolution was expected at any
moment. Only the family surrounded
the death bed of the banker. MIR.
BeckWith was about sixty-fve years Of
age.
On Dec. IA last the federal grand
jury in Cleveland returned five indict-
ments against Beckwith upon the
charge of violating the national bank
Ing laws in connection, with the loans
made to Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick by
the Citizens National bank of Ober-
lin, of which deceased with the presi-
dent.
From the day Of his arrest Beck.
with's health failed rapidly as result
of worry over his trouble. He fire.
Quently declared durinx,yAis Illness
that he wanted to die. For several
days prior to his death he refused to
take food in any form. Death resulted
directly from heart trouble.
The death of President Beckwith
may materially weaken the cases of
forgery and conspiracy to misapply
bank funds, now charged against Mrs.

the Tailors," written in Latin, belongs
to the time Of Henry III. II have said
ye are gods," says the humorist. "Why
should omit the service which should
be said on festival days? Gods GER
tainly ye are who can transform an old
garment into the shape of a new one.
The cloth, while fresh and new, Is
made either cape or mantle, but in
order Of time first it Is cape. After
little space this is transformed into
the other. Thus ye change bodies.'" I"
For a new mantle, first of all, are
new cloth and new fur. When the fur
begins to be worn off the two ma
terials are divided. The cloth "after
being separated from its former hus-
band passes in reparation to marriage
with a second husband. What will
you say is greater crime? 1t is nei-
ther canonic nor wise to marry two
cloths to one fur, and so we Judge it.
At length, when the skin is devoid of
hair, having from Esau become Jacob,
It is turned, the old part concealed in
wardly being bare of hair, the good
part being still displayed" And to
end its history, ''the hypocritical man
tie, in order that there may be nothing
lost, ia given to the servant for his
wages"
The Scottish poets show strange
dislike of tailors and shoemakers, or
soutars, Us they are called. William
Dunbar at the end of the fifteenth GEN.
tury ironically apostrophizes them as
worthy of the highest place in heaven.
People are born of God with deformi-
ties, he says, but it is the business of
the tailor and soutar with sly craft to
conceal their disflgurements:
Soutars with shoon we'll made and meet,
Ye mend the faults of i'll made feet,
Wherefore to heaven your souls will flee
Tailors and soutars blessed be ye!
And tailoris with well made claes
Can mend the worst made man that gaes
And make him seemly for to see
Tailors and soutars. blessed be We!
In earth We can such miracles heir
In heaven We shall be saints full clear,
Though ye be knaves in this countree,
Tailors and soutars, blessed be We!

In this country swans are but little
seen, except in public parks, but they
are coming into increasing favor on
private estates, as they give the finish
