FOR SCHOOL TEACHERs.

The most powerful agency in
school management is kindness.
There is no force on earth so potent
as love. When it has possession Of
the human heart it is all prevailing
and overpowering, and especially if
brought TO bear upon sympathetic
childhood and youth. The teacher
must rule by kindness. have a uni
formity of good will, earnest sym
pathy, and hearty generosity habi-
tually exercised toward his pupils.
The teacher alone who loves his pu-
pills has power to gain their love and
confidence, which should be their
chief reliance in school management.
An affectionate pupil will confide in
a teachers judgment, respect his au-
thority and fear his displeasure. If
you show him by your personal at
tention and kindness that you are his
true friend, and that all your efforts
are designed to secure his best ood,
and make him believe it, you hold
him as by the power of enchantment,
having no need of physical force to
keep him in subjection. He is held
by another and higher law, which
induces him to crafty your wishes
and seek the best good of the school.
But this kindness, which is an essen
tial element in every true system of
government, is not, and cannot be, a
substitute for authority or an OBJ
stacle to severity, when the good of
the individual or school demands IT..
The teacher must cherish an abiding
love for his pupils, and that love is
never more truly exercised than in
the infiiction of necessary punish
ment in the management of public
affairs.

IN MENfORIAM,

Sarah Oliver Treverton, widow of
Chas. p. Treverton, departed this life

YE EDITORS NEEDS.

1t is reported, says an exchange,
that one of our newly married wom-
en- kneads bread with her gloves on,
The incident may be peculiar, but
there are others. The editor of this
paper needs bread with his shoes on; !;
he needs bread with his shirt on; he
needs bread with his trousers on;
and unless some of the delinquent
subscribers of this paper pay up be-
fore long he will need bread without
so much as anything on-anu this is
no Garden of Eden, either, in the
winter time.

THE COUNTRY PASTOR.
No Matter What Faith He Represents
IL is all the Same.

An exchange thus truthfully speaks
our sentiments of the Country Pas
tor: He is to be seen in all the out
lying country districts; and at this
season the happiest of the year, he
is the busiest and most delightfully."-
consequential parsonage in any rural
community. No matter what creed
of the Christian faith he represents
it is all the same; his bearing is high,
his face alight with the sweet respon-
sibility that is upon him. On the
street he has a knowing look for the
expectant children, confidential
whispered word for his communi-
cants; repressed excitement is per-
ceptible in his manner that at times
threatens the barriers of clerical dig
nifty For this is his annual period
of triumph; he is the appointed mes
senger of The Master, and he swells
with a sense of the loftiness of his
mission.
This country clergymen is paid at
the rate of $40 or $40 a week for the
goodly work he does. Sometimes, In
addition, the shelter of a parsonage
is granted him. And then, besides,
benevolent members of the Congrega-
tion drive up at times with bag OF
flour, a pound or two of coffee,
yard or so of sausage. Moreover, a
spasm of generosity may seize the
Mite Society or Sewing Circle and
surprise" party ensue after the pas
tor has been forewarned a dozen
times.
This means that from fifty to a
hundred well-meaning men and wo-
men gather, laughing gayly, into the
parsonage, each one bearing a pack
age. 1t sounds well, but most of the
gifts are of a perishable quality
boiled ham and roast chicken, pies
and doughnuts-design to be eaten
on the spot. And they are eaten
then and there; and while the par
sons larder has not been apprecia-
bly, replenished his open-handed and
genial congregation has enjoyed an
evening picnic. The pastors wife is
busy for two days thereafter "clean-
ing up" and all of value she rescues
from the wreckage is pound of but
ter and pair of slippers.
Meanwhile, the country parson
goes on marrying (for nothing or a
dollar or two), baptizing (for moth
ing), burying (for nothing) these
good folk; and they think him hand
somely remunerated. He is, but not
by them. His reward comes from
source hidden often from their eyes.
And Just now is the time-when
superannuation may be impending,
perhaps-that he receives his spirit
ual wages from on high and treads
the lanes blithely and with the brisk
step of authority. He may be poor
in pocket, this country pastor, but
the heart and soul of him are opu-
lent"

PLAY BALL.

Two prominent clergymen were
looking at a baseball match years
ago, together with an immense as
semblage of men. One clergyman
said to the other, There's hardly a
woman here; why don't men come
out like this to the churches? Be-
fore his brother minister could reply,
a stranger from the seat behind him
leaned over and tapped the minister
on the shoulder and said, Beg par
don for butting in, but the reason
men don't come to church is because
you don't play ball 1t was his way
of expressing the same sentiment. In
the Church there is nothing really
doing; a little religious sentiment
may be eXcited-the young may be
instructed-there are church soci-
ables and receptions for those who
like that sort of thing. A college
president puts into the mouth of one
of his students the students objec-
ton to the ministerial office: The
minister seems to me like the man
who sits in the grand-stand and ex-
plains the game to the ladies' When
the Church has mans job on its
hands it may get a mans response.
Nothing appeals to our young men
more than fields which demand hard
labor and much sacrifice. The young
minister likes to see things grow un-
der his hand; to take the ordinary
pastorate and maintain it at it's ordi-
nary efficiency and fulfil the ordinary
round of duty pals upon many of
our most efficient ministers. They
too feel the demand for mans job
The same sentiment runs through all
our American life, and men who have
only the routine for the employment
of their energies, who have no great
problems to face and no great diff
culties to overcome are comparative
failures. All the appeals which ad-
venture and war made in the past
now go to this, that man shall do a
mans Job"

SILVER GREY FOX KILLED.

For the second time in fifty years
a silver grey fox has been killed in
Sullivan county. The lucky hunter
is Matthew Cannon, of Halstead,
who shot the fox after it had become
tired cut by dogs. Mr.. Cannon was
offered $40 for it by fur dealer, but
declined. 1t is said he expects to
receive $500 for it from a New York
dealer.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT To BEAU
TIFUL WOMAN NEW YEARS
ENE


New York, Jan. 1.-Swathed in
bandages, Mrs. Charles e. Ellis, who
was burned almost to death before
hundreds of merrymaking guests
celebrating New Years at the Cafe
Martin, last night, is lying at the
New York hospital in a stupor, under
the influence of powerful drugs ad-
ministered 10 quiet her pain.
Neck and shoulders, face and
hands were scorched almost to a crisp
by the flames which formed a pillar
about the screaming woman in a
balcony of the great cafe, while ter
rified guests rushed to her aid or
fed in panic from the room. Physi-
clans and nurses are today eXerting
every effort to save her life.
Her beauty is gone and if she
leaves the hospital it will be for her
own home, never again to join such
assemblages as that in which she
moved at the time of the accident,
which put the stamp of tragedy on
one feature of New York's great
New Years celebration. Physicians
who are attending her declare that
her condition is serious, but not
worse than when she was carried in a
fainting condition t. the hospital.
Lights were out in the Cafe Mar
tin at midnight, while hundreds of
men and women, seated about the
tables in the main cafe, balcony and
in the hall room, lifted delicate
glasses to pledge the new year in
champagne. AS they drank in the
darkness a woman's scream rang
through the room, and in a moment
a pillar of flame flashed in corner
of the balcony and the diners saw a
woman burning. Throughout the
room other women screamed and
tainted. Men rushed toward the
swaying light in the corner, but as
they did so it wavered again, rolling
PROSTATE behind table. Dress coats
were torn off and thrown about the
woman.
On the lower floors many rushed
for the exists. Women were carried
out and hurried into cabs-anything
to get away. Men fought and clam
ored at the cloak room.
Meanwhile, nerved to frenzy by
her pain, Mrs. Ellis swayed to her
feet while the flames caught again
at the flimsy gown and enveloped
head, neck and shoulders. Before
any one could reach her she dashed
to a window and fell with head and
shoulders through the glass. There
a policeman reached her, smothered
the flames with his coat and the dress
coats which men on all sides threw
to him and carried her into the cor
ridor, where a hurried call was sent
to hospital where she was taken.
Lights had been turned on in the
big cafe minute after the tragedy,
but none of the diners remained.

Bravery and Cowardlce.

Cowardice is often ignorance. Are
any men brave, mora ready to take
their lives in their hands, to reckon
death as one of the daily encounters,
than the deep-sea fishermen? Yec a
group OF these men. brought to Lon
don by one of their missionaries, have
been seen too terrified to cross the
street. The police had to stop the
traffic to allow them to cross. The

who laughed at them-how would they

BULLIN THE MINISTERIAL
CHINA SHOP.

At a meeting of the Ministerial
Association in Scranton, DR.. Bull OF
the First Presbyterian church, said A;
"The time has come when the church
should drop kid glove methods and
get down to business, and then
preachers should go out on the street
preaching the gospel to the crowd, "
The Salvation Army has had
monopoly of this business for the
reason that when they first began,
the clergy with good berths looked
upon the movement as not very
genteel way of introducing the Cos
pei of Jesus Christ to the people; 1t
lacked dignity, style and rather
lowered the tone of the exalted we'll
paid position of pastor.
Men who had spent years in col
lege, and had such an intellectual
grip upon creeds, doctrines, COMES
sions of faith, etc, that they were
able to keep the ordinary individual
so thoroughly muddled that he did
not know whether salvation was a
will of the wisp or something so
expensive that unless you could pay
pew rent in a church you were not
entitled to it, had doubts as to
whether it was profitable for people
who lack education, good clothes and
polished manners to have the Gospel
presented to them in plain language
by ordinary educated people, who
were shy on nice, choice, well select
ed sentimental expressions.
But the Salvation Army, following
the methods of the uneducated Cali
lee fishermen, have accomplished a
task in Christian work that churches
organized on the revised version plan
have failed to do.
The religion of Jesus Christ is a
religion for the poor, as well as the
rich, but somehow the masses are
beginning to wonder if there is not
some mistake about such a view
The bone and sinew of our cities and
towns, who fill our shops and tend
our stores week days, feel out of
place on Sundays in our fashionable
city churches, with their finely up
holstered cushions, we'll padded back
rests, aD6 pre-empted pews. Under
such conditions it is not to be expect
ed that they can enjoy the organ
music, the millinery display and sing
ing by the choir, and atwenty-miuute
discourse which has been padded so
as to last at least twice as long.
We hope DR.. Bulls talk to the
preachers of Scranton will inaugurate
a movement whereby the plain peo-
pie will hear upon the street corners
OF Scranton such an exposition OF the
religion OF love and companionship
of God, that they will be brought in
close touch, soul. spirit and body
with the message of salvation which
the Saviour brought the whole world.
