timi) ago my. husband used to
complain .that his linen collars did
not set nicely in i front. There was
always . a fullness which, in -the case
,of standing collars, was partially try:
in g to a man, felt a good deal of pride
in the dressing of his neck, as it
spoiled the effect-of his cravat, land
often left a gap for tbe.display o the .
collar band pf theirt, or a half
-4f
inch of bare skin. W hile talkin # o to
a practical shirt-maker one day he
mentioned , his annoyance and in uir
'ed if there was any way of relieving ,
it. "Yes," answered the man, "the
finilt is *kb: your ; laundrets,.*hile
doing up your collars she stretches
them the wrong way. Damp linen is
very pliable, and a good pull willtal
tar a fourteen inch into a fifteen-inch
collar in the twinkling of an - eye.
~She ought to stretch them cross-ways
and' nOtlengthwise. Then in straight
ening out your shirt-bosom she
makes another mistake of the same
sort. ,They ought also to be- pulled
crosswise instead of lengthwise, par
- Ocularly in the neighborhood of the
• neck. 1 A lengthwise pull drawn time
front, of the neck-band - somewhere di
rectly under your,Chin, where it was
never meant to go. and, of course,
that 'spoils, the +set of your collar.
With the front of your neck-band an
inch too high and your collar an inch
too long yon hare a most undesira
-ble'combination." 'l .
, The speaker was' right. As soon
as my husband ordered the necessary
changes to be made in
. the ; methods
our laundry, a wonderful differ
ence manifested itself in the appear
ance of that most important, part of
his clad anatomy, his neck. Let pie
commend, the shirtmakers' hint to
other distressed men. ,
CUL'TIVAT/ND POND LILIES.--The
Dartford Post sVs: Last summer
white Chief of Pollee' Chamberlain,
-was on a visit to Block Island, he
discovered a lot of white pond lilies,
-and believing that he could trans
,plant and domesticate them in his
yard lie. secured a number of the
plants.. carefully noticing as they
pulled from the earth what depth of
soil' the roots took: , It was found
that they struck down -about one .
foot,' branching out in various- direc
tions fort r . On bringing
them home he bad them transplanted
in tubs, he same depth of earth be
ing pro Med. as that had by the
plants-when growing naturally. The
tubs were then filled ;with water; and
kept full until the cold water set in.
When frozen sufficiently they 'were
taken to the cellar, where they re
mained all winter. 'On the opening
'of the spring, Chief Chamberlain bad
them replaced in his yard, and atter
a short Lime the roots showed 'signs
of life. From that they have grown,.
into perfect plants, the leaves cover;
ing the surface of the water and buds,
an7l,- flowers . developing naturally.
The - flowers are_aniong ;the most ex
quisite Specimens of pond lilieg i to-be
found anywhere,
and the fragrance
from them can be detected for a long
distance from the spot. where they
- .
.arf growing. The thought of trans
plautthg proved a happy `
,one on the
part of the Chief, mitt his success in
raising such' admirable specimens
will encourage others -to lollow his
example. The sight of the lilies in
his yard has repaid him a hundred
fold. for the and time:attention whidh
lie has given them.
ONE WAY TO Reisz C ALvEs.—Some
' eight years .ago 1 raised two twin
calves very successfully, but at 'thath
time 1 thought T could buy young
heifers or steers cheaper than raise
- them myself. In the fall - of; 1876 .1
•.eame to the conclusion to rais'e a bull
calf. Several weeks ago I killed this
'oung bull, five days less than a year
Old, and the dressed beef 'weighed
th_r_ce hundred and. thirty-five pounds.
This calf sucked its dam bnly six
times ; then I gave it four quarts of
sweet skim milk . ) and a pint of hot
water, with a little oil cake meal mix
ed in the milk. When the calif was
four weeks old I commenced to give
it sour, thick Milk ; then I, had one
bushel of oats, a half Inlaid of rye,
a halrbushel of corn, and a half bush
el of, buckwheat, grorind 'together.
This I mixed with about half is
bushel of oil cake meal; then_!
p ut
whom, half a pint of this miktuie in
the milk morning and evening. About
the first of May I commenced to put
corn in the milk. At that time I gave
four quarts of sour milk ; four laarts
of water, and one - pint of corn meal..
During the summer I had hitn loose
in a stable; thirty by twelve feet, fed
hint hay and grass, and made some
people believe I had a thoroughbred
bull.—Letter to Ohia,FarMer.' ,
How TO USE PARIS GitiEN.--='•The
8 .- access with which this mineral can
be used in destroying the potato bug,
slugs, the striped bug, caterpillars,
etc, has made its nee' quite common
of late years; but we fear that a great
many persons do not handle it with
that caution -which its poisonous na
ture demands: We have already
heard where its inhalation while dust
ing the vines and bushes with it„ has
been attended with serious though
not fatal effects. Dusting with
the way it is generally done, from a
bag or paper, or with the hands, is
extremely dangerous. When it is so
applied, the bag or appliance should
be placed at the end of a live foot
pole ; and used in this way the fear
ler inhaling any part of , the mineral
may be entirely guarded against. Of
course, !then diluted with water-this
precaution is . unnecessary.
PVTriNG UP CUCCUBEIIS.—This is
the way to pub apeubumbers,%tohave
Om' remain firm without using poi
son to accomplish it.' -Wash your
cucumbers, taken fresh from the vine,
in clear, cold water; put them in a
porcelain kettle, with juste water
enough to cover them, and add Bulb
' cient salt to season the cucumbers..
let them remain on the stove till
hot, but-not boil; thenlake them out
and drain till perfectly dry. Put
them in bottles arukvover them with
bOiling vinegar of the best quality,
to which has been added some red
pepper, some mustard seed, if little
horseradish,i and sugar just to suit
the taste. Cucumbers prepared in
this way,lf good used, will keep a
whole year if properly sealed up. "
CORN SouP.--Talre twelve ears of
sweet corn; cukhe corn from the
cobs and boil the cobs in two quarts
of waterj.until the sweetness is ex
tracted; take MO the cobs, add the
corn and boil from twenty to thirty

Jr had never been the privilege , of th a t
Superintendent the different .Grad,
- ed Schools of the county until the close of
the Institute—a period when scarcely any
other schools are' in session. The schools .
are a power for good in l their - respective
iections Of the county. Northireetern
Bradford is the Troy Graded School nn- .
der the excellent management of Prot J.
T. 3lcColionf. The Principal hears class- .
es regularly throughout the day, yet
perinteds the whole school. Be has very
excellent misistants—ifiss Sarah Ballard
in Grammar School, Miss -Minnie' Grohs.
and Miss' Adams In the Intermediate-De
partments, who eyidently have a pride , in
carrying out the plans of the school _lnd
making each department a Model school.
Probably Pennsylvania has few -schools
equal to this in organization, management
and discipline.
Canton Graded School is doing re fine
work for the borough and Southwestern
Bradford. Tile - tact and thoroughness of
Prof. Raesley in condacting recitations
were admired. A class of thirty pupils
was called and.at once all were at work—
some solving problems , on board, some
demonsfratinif rules and yrinciptes on
beard, others at recitation seat giving defi
nitions and explanations. ,Thus there was
no waiting for examples , to be solved, no
idleness. The workir f f ilia "intermediate
grades" waevery commendable. Mr. Da
vision of this department is a No. One,
teacher, thorough, active, systematic,
pleasant'and prlressif e.
Barclay has three Graded Schools viz,
Carbon Run well organized, thoroughly
taught
. and, disci lined , E. A. Thompson, j
Principl, Ida - Bedford, Assistant; Center
School, in charge of Earnest •Thomp
sob, a skillful teacher ably assisted by
Miss Fairchild ; Sand Run, Julia Sullivan )
of, the primary .department, a prompt pro
.gressire teacher—deserves promotion. The
Barclay Directors pay ac:ording to quali
fication and success. They furnish the
teachers the tools to work with in black
boards nearly around rooms, plenty of
crayon, and have paid' the teachers for a
If °Tin BY THE
?reek's time at Teachers' Institute. These
teachers by extra efforts, ext:a time, bet:.
ter methods, better schools, will "doubly
remunerate the 'people of. Barclay ; suc
cess to such 'directors and Such people.
What Board will be next in • partially at
least reimbursing teachers for their time
,and expenses at the Countrlnstititte?
Towanda Graded, School was rather
hurriedly visited, hence for the present,
it need only be said that it seems progress
ing finely. '
The Smithfield Graded School was
found in fine working order with the fol
lowing teachers : 1. S. Crawford, Princi
pal ; Mrs. F. C. Dayton, Cora Wood. The
success Of the school is manifest from the
fact that so many. don-resident
, pupils
have entered that an extra teacher bas
just been employed whoSe name we have
not learned.
Prof, Benedict the new principal at Atli-
ens, evidently intends that good discip
line, thoroughness and energy shall char
acterize his work, and these elemerhs will
ensure success. Miss Gamble, Miss Allen,
add Miss Williston are faithfully conduct
ing the other grades of the school. South
Waverly School was found in a prosper
ous condition, J. 13. Harding, Principal,
Rose Goldsmith, .Assistant.
There is not
.space in this issue to men.
tion all the deserving teachers. 3liss 31.
E. Ilowlzind lies the highest posizible en.
dorsenient in that she has taught id one
neighborhood for twenty years. The clos
ing e,...sercisei of Mr. C. P. Garrison's
school showed the: work of a successful
teacher; If all districts of Troy township
hart. as plod teachers as Miss Mine
Shannon they are 'fortunate. Miss Lisa
Keam is doing fine work _ in Towanda
township, afrare-Mis4s Julia and Anna
i
Kinney in Monroetori \ Graded Schools,.
The schools of. Miss •Rullock Gladding,
Columbia District,. and Myra Crane, Leo
na, were well disciplined and taught. Miss
M. Mitten, Landon District, \ has a school
to be proud of. If the people \ of Bradford
county would visit the schools as does the
gentleman from whom this clistilct takes
its name, we should have schooli, to be
proud of in every district.
It may seem that every .teacher \ \ has
been commended. In some 'future Edu
cationnl others visited and not credited
with lork may receive mention, and some
serious faults receive censure,' but space
fobids much more now.
A Rtrt Nous Poracv.—Lcleaßilesin which
teachers' salaries are belitg reduced 'are
bidding for the poorest teachers, and they
ought to have them anti they Will have
thim to the disgrace of the district and
the permaneit injury of the children. The
wages may be too high for poor teachers
b* not for good ones.
The Superintendent is anxious to have
the best schools possible in Bradford
County, and is willing,to work for that
result ; .the teachers, in the generous at
tendance! of County Institute, as well as
- by - word and deed, there and since, are
showing that they are willing to work for
it. Do not expect teachers to be at • the
expense and trouble of attending :insti
tutes or school, or of self culture, nor ex
pect the Superintendent td very long ask
it of teachers or attempt to •elevate and
improve our schools, if directors and peo
ple reward the teachers for commendatle
efforts by reducing salaries. Soiri!say
we pay more than teaeiwrs earn. This
may lie true of some hut not of • many.
Aiid Usually the people are in fault. If a
teacher able to earn $4O a month should
offer to, teach for $2l, a mother able to
earn. Oshould offer to eh for *2O, the
latter in too many would be employ
ed. So long as a large nnraber of unqual
ified teachers arelicensed, and-the people
clamor for.it and select , the incompetent,
so long will the schoolibe unsatisfactory,
and the people have the very paying sat.
isfactkin of grumbling.
Paourtmasts.—The following teachers
at the request of the Supezintendent to
have programmes sent al 1100131 as school
could be properly organized have prompt.
ly finisarded them : Earnest Thompson,
Edith Thompson; Julia Sullivan, Lina
Kram, Jennie Canfield, W. 11. Brow n , I.
S. Crawford. On examination they show
in tho main good judgment in the duel&
cation of the school and distribution of
time. The Superintendent' had two ob
jects in view, vis : to render assistance by
anligegting -- changes in the programme,
and by knowing what schools are in ses
sion and when, and the time of certain
lass' es, that liki,might find schools for via

NUIMEII OF TEscuEns.--There are
about seven hundred teichersinßradford
county, and four hundred schools. If the
seven hundred are well qualified they
should all receive certificates. If but. four
hundred pass a good examination. and
there are one hundred other teachers bold
lug permanent or professional certificates
who (10 not have to be examined, making
five hundred teachers for four, hundred
schools, is there any . sf : for granting
certificatesio the unq. ' alifiFd ? Should an
examiner be asked•to violate his oath of
office or his conscience, and say they are
qualified to teach? Is not the good of
twenty to fifty pupils paramount to the
interests of one person? The two hun
dred if pcissessed of the attributes neces
sary for successful teachers will, during
the winter, by self culture, the visitation
of schools, or attending of school become
qualified to pals at the spring examina
tion ; the problem would prove a blessing
and our schools riot be injured.
ALsiosr every professional or businesr
man, rnecanic or farmer, makel some pre
paration for success by taking some paper
devoted to his specialty, by careful obier
vation of methods and experience of oth
ers, and by Much patient origination and
development of plans and metliods.-
this frequently in addition to a severe ap
prenticeship and course of study. The
teacher too often launches forth without
chaft or compass, with little knowledge
of books, less of philosophy of education
and experience of others, and no experi
ence or origination, ofplans and, inef,hods.
Teachers take an educational paper;
