JOB A. DAVIS.
Ineldcnts in the lives of creut Inventors nre al
ways Interesting. It Is said of Jon A. Davis,
Iho Rreat Inventor of the Davis Son Ins Machine
that moro than twenty years iico, when lio nsert
to travel from place to place, rcrcMiitliig, ex
planlna nnd selllns his machine, ho eonld tnko
nn ordinary pocket knife, u piece of wood nnd n
scrap of Iron and In a short ilmo produce a ma
chine that would actually sew, astonishing ns It
may seem! This remarkable characteristic In
this man's Kcnms suggests tho cause for the
marvelous simplicity ot tho machine hearing his
linmo, which wHh'its many other advantages,
Elves It a place In the front rnnk of modern In
ventions. What n revolution In the history or
tin- sewing niachlno has taken place during these
years! Every Inhabited and civilized poitlon of
Iho globe now resounds with the music of this
"friend of womankind." Kurnno has long ac
knowledged tho superiority of "hie Davis ;,7!ind
Australia and New Zealand nro fields where It Is
monarch ot all It surveys." The "Vertical Feed"
Is tho principal nnd distinguishing features of
this machine, separating It from and placing It
auovo.the popular machines of other makes. To
bo appreciated nnd understood, this new feed
method should be seen Inoperntlon. Tho stitch
mado by this machine Is both mire nnd beautiful.

The Consumption of Alcohol on Morality and
Health.
The following statements made by M. de
Flalx, are deserving the consideration of
tydents of .the alcohol question. M. de
Flalx says: "The birth rate Is less and tho
mortality greater In the departments where
tho consumption of alcohol Is small; that
neither crime nor suicide Is In proportion
to alcoholic consumption. Thus In the
Sclne-Inferleure the consumption of alco
hol Is three times that In tho Novd. but
suicide is only twice as frequent. In the
Pas de Calais tho consumption is twice as
great as that of the Novo, while suicide Is
two and one-half times less. In the Seine-
et-OIso the consumption is one-half less
than that of the Sclnc-Inferieurc, but sui
cide in the former Is twice that of tho lat
ter." Comparing different nations he
says, "France consumes less alcohol than
the United Kingdom; its birth rate Is less.
and its mortality, criminality, and suicide
rates are greater. Italy consumes very lit
tie alcohol; Its criminality Is appalling tef-
frayante). Spain consumes three times
less alcohol than Italy; Its criminality Is
double. Sweden, Denmark and Norwav.
with a population of about one-third, con
sume lour times the quantity of alcohol
consumed In Italy, and yet tho criminality
of tho former is very small, whllo that of
tho latter Is appalling. Russia consumes
4 times the alcohol of France; Its birth rate
is almost double. Thus, all the hypothesis
arc upset; the most vigorous, the richest
and the most moral of the nations aro those
which consume the most alcohol. The
prediction that alcohol will destroy civiliza
tion and the human race is not supported
by facts. If France, whoso vitality Is un
dergolng a crisis, were among tho nations
which consume most alcohol, she would
serve as an excellent argument; but the
consumption of alcohol by France Is mod
erate, and It has been established already
that those parts of France are the most
Vigorous where tho consumutlon of alcohol
Is greatest. S,

stone Normal School, of Kutztown, then
took charge of the music and gayo the
teachers an excellent drill In that art. Prof,
Young Is a pleasant and genial gentleman
aud has an excellent knowledge of the Rub
ject of music. Ho awakened considerable
activity and precision In a very few min
utes. Prof. Geo. E. Littlc.of Washington,
D. C., then spoko on drawing, showing that
tho teaching of conventional forms Is only
a means and not as an end. Tho Prof. Is
quick with tho crayon and sketched as
rapidly as he spoke. The valuo to teach
ers of his talk was perhaps not to great as
It was entertaining. As one of the In
structors of the day failed to arrive In tlmo
thero seemed to be a yold which was not
capable of being filled promptly, and so the
afternoon session was adjourned, tho teach
ers feeling that they had hardly received a
full half day's worth in tho first half day
of tho week.
In tho oyening Prof. Little gayo ono of
his "chalk talks," which was much on-
Ioyed by all present; most of the teachers,
lowover, had seen the samo thing beforo
and henco It was not of much valuo as In
struction, but was decidedly entertaining.
These evening lectures ought to hayo an
Instructive ns well as an entertaining sldo
to them; tho entertainment may amuso
but does not so much profit tho teacher In
his or her schoolroom work.
TUKSDAY MOIIN1.NG.
The Instltuto was called to order about
quarter after nine In tho ntomlng, in Iho
Hall of tho public school building; devo
tional exercises being read by Rov. T. M.
Jackson, of the M. E. church, of Mauch
Chunk.
Prof. Young led In a short drill In music,
after which Dr. E. E. Hlgbco addressed the
Institute. Tho Dr. had unexpectedly turned
up the evening before and tho institute
manifested their delight by greeting him
with a round of applauso. The doctor's
talks aro always full of thought and this
opening ono was no exccp'lon.
Tho instltuto was then divided into twoj
parts, tho one part being taken In charge
by Prof. C. B. Cochran, and the other by
Prof. G. W. Hull. Prof. Cochran spoko
for nearly two hours on Physiology and
Hygiene, illustrating and enforcing his talk
with specimens, such as the skull and
brain of a neero, the brains of a horse,
etc- Tho talk was one of much valuo and
Interest to the teachers. Prof. Hull gayo
an Illustrated talk on Fractions, after
which ids section was taken In charge by
Miss Totridgo, of Reading, whp spoke for
an hour on Language.
TUESDAY AFTEIINOOX.
After a short drill In music, Dr. Hlgbee
spoke on school legislation, exemplifying
the laws lately enacted, viz: making tho
minimum six months, fixing compensation
for attending Institute and getting an ad
ditional appropriation of $500,000 for our
schools. Ha suggested various ways of us
ing this extra money in futuro years. "Use
It by putting up better buildings, purchas-
ng libraries, lengthening the term still
more nnd increasing the wages of the. teach
ers when thoy do efficient work."
After a short recess, Instltuto was again
called to order, and Prof. U. B. Cochran,
delivered his Illustrated lecture, on "Air,"
In which he carefully diagnosed ard divided
air into its. constituent paits showing bv a
number of actual experiments how neces
sary pnre oxygen was to animal life, and
how determental to health was Impure viti
ated air saturated with carbonic acid gas,
proving that in order to support combus
tion In the body It is necessary that wo
should breath pure air, and by thus keeping
the lungs so supplied, our bodies would re
main in a healthy condition, while on tho
other hand Ill-ventilated rooms, and stilling
atmosphere that arises from decaying mat
ter, Ac, would plant and feed tho germs
of dlscaso, and broken down constitutions.
The talk was beneficial and edifying.
Another selection was sung, after which
Prof. G. W Hull gave an Interesting and
Instructive talk on "False Notions of Edu
cation," in which he faithfully pictured
the distinguishing features, between tho
falso and Hie true. The speaker holds that
the genuine education of a man is that
which directs him to higher and nobler mo
tives. "Shame," said the orator, "on an
education that will cause a man to look
with disdain upon honest toll, that will
teach him lo forget that poverty Is not a
disgrace. Many a brilliant young man, said
he, has parents who toll lrom morn till
night, even denying themselves the luxur
ies of life that he may have an education,
and after they acquired It become so vitiat
ed with arrogance and prido that they are
ashamed to recognize their parents. Shame
on him, who would forget the mother who
watched over and tolled for him. Give us
that education which will create in us a love
of home, a loyo of kindred and a love of
God."
TUESDAY EVUXWO.
Concert Hall was well filled with an at'
tentive audience at 8:15,whcn tho exercises
were opened by a duct sung by Mr. C'has
Crellln and Miss Agnes Swartz, Mrs.
Belva Lockwood, of Washington, D. C,
then was Introduced to the audlenco and
was greeted with prolonged applause. Sho
lectured on "Social and Political Life In
Washington." She is a lady of pleasant
appearance and voice, easy and profuse,
perhaps, Ingesttire, and without doubt a
woman of keen observation and good
thinking power. Her description of life In
Its various phases wero decidedly interest
Ing and her remlniscnces of famons men,
Interesting and Important events and fam
ous conrt decisions were entertaining and
racy. Those who attended tho lecture
mainly out of curiosity were agreeably sur
prised to find not only their curiosity gratl
fled, but also a rich Intellectual treat given
them.
WEDSDSDAY, TUUItSDAY AND FMDAY.
The programme as nrranged for tho
above days was minutely carried out. The
talks on educational matters wero Interest
lng and entertaining In every particular
and no doubt much good will be the result
ot a week spent In listening to the practical
talks of able educators on subjects of vital
Importance to the common school teachers
of this couuly. The lectures on Wedmss'
