METHOD OF TEACHING.
Wherein Our Educators Often Put the
Cart Before the Horse.

This simple principle Esprit before
diSciplinc' we sometimes seem to lose
sight Of in our education. consistently
putting the cart before the horse.
In the days Of the renaissance.
when people had caught a vision Of a
new world. they studied Greek with
avidity because they believed it was a
path into that world, We reverse the
process. We set II students to grind
ing Greek verbs in order that in an in
definite future they may come in con
tact with the Hellenic spirit, when
what they wanted was a touch Of the
Hellenic spirit to transform the Greek
grammar into Il book of magic.
We set them to cutting up earth
worms when what they wanted first
was to have their thoughts turned to-
ward the mystery of physical life. We
put them to studying Italian. trustin.
that in due time Il knowledge Of that
language may prove an incentive to
read Dante. never p%erceiving that Il
craving for Dante might be made the
strongest incentive for studying Italian.
We red ink and blue pencil their COM
positions. believing. with Il touching
faith. that there is some intrinsic beau
ty in correct spelling and perfect pune
tuatiou that will appeal to the under,
graduate mind, and ali the while what
they needed was Il sense however dim,
of the wonder of literary creation.-

OYSTERS LIVE AND DEAD.
And tho Big Difference It Makes When
They Are Eaten Raw.

Speaking about keeping hotels. Sine
on Ford. who won fame and fortune
in that profession, had this to say
about the %sncculent oyster:
People have come and sworn to
me that we had the finest oysters in
the world. Now, that was all tommy
rot. We had the same oysters any one
else could buy, although we always
bought he best we could. But there is
this about the oyster: When he is good
he is very. very good: when he is bad
he is very, very bad.
There is a whole lot of difference
between Il dead oyster and Il live one.
When an experienced opener puts his
knife n an oyster he can tell in a
second if the oyster is really alive.
He can even tell by the resistance
whether the oyster is in prime condi-
ton or only fair. II the oyster was
not just right men would throw it
away. and they used to throw away
about one oyster in every four that we
bought.
"A dead oyster isn't fit to eat raw.
But the live oyster that is opened
right in front of you and stays on the
plate just long enough to squeeze a
drop Of lemon on. he goes down your
throat a juicy and Il palpitating treat.
That's only possible when you stand
up to an oyster bar.
why, in some Of our gilded palaces
they begin to open oysters after break
fast and You get them for dinner. Well.
you get them. that's all, and they're
is kept on ice."-Henry NJ. Hall in New

The big crowd made much noise as
Capt Evers stepped to the plate.
Moran took a big lead off second and
then the Braves captain, after two
strikes, dropped a single into center
field on which both Rudolph and Nor

struck up a lively tune, and Connie

new ENGLAND LEAGUE
NEXT YEAR FOR BANGOR

B.. Bangor expects to be back in the
New England League next year. With
in the week a representative of the
league has been in that city working
to bring about the location, of a team
there. No definite steps have been TAX
en-, but leading citizens have been APP
preached and all have signified their
willingness to do what they could to
help the project out. 1t has been sug-
gested that Bangor emulated Lewiston
and Portland by constructing ball
ground or athletic field, which could
be rented to the ball club at a nomi-
nal figure and used by the school
teams of the city for their games. How
this will meet the ideas of the Ban
goreans is not known, but the Daily
News suggests that Bangor ought to
be fully as up to date as the other two
Maine cities.
During the years 1S94-95 and 90,
Bangor was member of the New
England League and the attendance
there was among the largest in the
circuit. The team went through each
season, playing all games, except
those postponerd because of weather
conditions. In 1896 it had one of the
fastest minor lea quo teams of the
country. Such men as Radford. shar-

Bath, Me-, Oct 13.-(SpeciaD.- Asso-
ciate Justice Warren c. Philbrook
opened Sagadahoc county supreme
court here today. The civil docket
shows an unusually small number of
cases for trial, but it is expected that
upwards of 20 criminal cases may go
on the docket The grand jury got busy
this afternoon and a number of W.T.
nesses were seen about the corridors
who had been summopsed in the Five
Islands shooting case for which Sam
uel T. Hinckley is now held charged
with the murder of Charles Barnes.
Hinckley has been in the State hos
pital at Augusta under observation as
to his sanity for the past 10 days o.
so. A report from the officials of this
institution is expected by Thursday at
the latest.
The prayer was delivered by Rev.
Howard A Corey of Wesley Methodist
church. The charge to the grand jury
by Justice Philbrook was wholly eX-
temporaneous and a mastery address,
the justice explaining every detail of
grand jury work and the reasons for
absolute secrecy with such clearness
that to the audience outside of the
grand jurymen it seemed as if there
could be little reason for asking ques-
tons, he had covered the ground 50
thoroughly.
