SESdNS OP THE
" TMCHBRS' INSTITUTE
V interesting lectures Delivered Yes
terday by Prof. Kemp, Miss Jlftg
' fjaity nnd Miss Hyde.
Tll features of yJMteldii.v' sessions
of the teachers' Institutethe over
shadowing features were the leetutes
mi poyoluiloKy h.V Prof. K. I.. Kemp,
prinulpul of Host Stroudsbtirg Normal
School. No more Intensely interesting
talks have been hoard nl tin Inslllu o
In Cnrboitdulo than these lectures, made
doubly valuable because of tin IitJou
tlon In ono wny or another or the fruits
of Prof. Kemp's wldo eijueutlonul ex
perience. Ills side observations, his
' timely comments mid his pleasing
humor wen; tho elements that so hap
pllv combined to make his talks worthy
of the undivided attention and hearty
co-operation of the teacher,". ,
Prof. Kemp's lecture were so lined
with repeated discussions of topics that
suggested themselves as hi; proceeded
"that their real value Is lost when trans
ferred to type. Some of the observa
tions, however, will he read with in
terest by others than the teachers, to
whom. only. It might he said, tht tech
nical features are ot value.
At the forenoon session, la discussing
'The Kxtcrnal Conditions to Atten
tion," Prof. Kemp, unions: his obser
vations or expressions of opinion, said:
The man cannot net independently
of the body. Anyone who says so, says
what Is sheer nonsense. Mental activ
ity Is dependent upon physical condi
tion; the brnlu function In mental ac
tion depends upon the supply of blood
and the quality of it.
"Young children are as sensitive to
the weather as animals. We. teachers,
are guilty of the pedagogical sin ot
becoming cross at children who under
certain weather condition.-! im rest
lessly active, depressed or languid. AVe
Vhould have such control of ourselves
and should have that enthusiasm which
would III! the room with sunshine if
none come from without.
"The teacher's health and disposition
are factors In attention. When we are
not well and things don't seem to go
the right way, we blame it onto the
children.
"There should be a state law com-.
pelllng teachers to take sufllcicnt exer
cise. The nature study is one of the
greatest blessings in recent school life,
for It gives us the. greatest opporuniiles
of exercise and relaxation that is the
most beneficial because of its ever
changing novelty.
"The school work in Pennsylvania is
not yet highly organized. The work is
not in harmony. Some of the students
who come to normal schools llnd that
they have already gone through the
junior work in the High school. This
produces a lack of Interest, because ul'
mi abseuco of novelty. I have taught
In two Normal school.1: and know that
this has greatly interfered with the
progress or these students. The injury
was shown in results for a. long time.
"Teachers are the most consei vatlvo
among all professions. It takes several
hundred years In some cases to get a
proposition in our minds.
"The author of the text-book on
physiology sin? when he uses the illus
tration of the telegiaph system to show
thu workings of the ivrvous system.
Thu Intricacies of the telegraph system
are harder to penetrate than the
understanding of the nervous system
if the arrangement of the nerves be
explained. This text-book Illustration
is stuff and nonsense chiefly.
"The ability to ask questions Is one
of tlie tine arts of teaching.
"When I went to college the students
kueiv just what questions each would
got. Tills system has changed some
what, but If any ono still follows it,
remember that tills giving eut-and-
drieil questions cuts attention to pieces.
"The ability to teach is measured by
ability to' do good woik with your mIu
dents with ralrly good material,
"Nluc'teriths of the lustiness among
pupils is not due to a lack of enthusi
asm; R is not a willful fault, but it
disease, a misfortune, that should ex
cite nnd receive our warmest sympathy.
"We (hid that the girls In our Nor
mal schools do more work now, be
cause they weigh more mid are In
belter health. Before, the state oliloluls
divided the ijourse, girls used to work
tlicm.elves Into shadows studying and
fretting over examinations. Jn Urn last
year, they would havo to qualify In
ubottl twenty-live studies. This left
them without any vital energy, Within
a few years special gymnastics have
been added. Among those Is basket
ball. Tlie result of this athletic Idea Is
belter woik, because tlie girl students
havo hem built up In health and have
a greater store or energy.
"Tlie Individual test of cyeslaht Is
necessary among pupils, as weak vision
Is a big drawback to the pupil, whose
defect cannot ho ascertained In any
other way, since he won't admit It.
"Tlie secret of the growth In friend
ship Is not so much what you do for
your friend as what he does for you.
This -applies to the lelatlons of the
teacher and her pupils.
"Perhaps, one of the greatest tilings
accomplished In pyschology Is that
physicians have given us one of the
greatest marvels In modern knowledge
In locating with dellnlteuess the nerve
centres of the brain."
In the afternoon lecture, Prof, Kemp
gave an Interesting explanation of per
ceptions and sensations from the psy
chological sense, demonstrating that
all qualities are sensations, the effect
produced In the brain centers.
Miss Hugarly gave two lectures on
reading, and Miss Hyde addressed the
teachers In the forenoon and afternoon
on "Kngllsh."

BR. HILI.XS' LECTURE.
DIStiOVEUY OF t'OFFKK.
Made by nn Arabian Shepherd.
I'offee was first dl.-coveiod in tile
sixth century by an Arabian shepherd
who having observed the goats of his
Hock skip about and display other signs
of Intoxication after eating the cof
fee barry, concluded to tiy Us effects
c n himself, and thus discovered its
t xuihirullng property.
This discovery proved the poor shep
hcid't. undoing, for he Indlserimlnaie
lj used largo iiuuntltlfj:, green, fur Us
i xhilatating effect and soon died,
poisoned by its use.
In the sixteenth century, It was iutio
dueed into Kruiicc, and was used s.o
strong and excessively, particularly by
the Parisians that it was found to In
jure alike the complexion and digestion.
Tills discovery prevented Its general in
troduction into other Kuropenn coun
tries for the next century.
Since that period, Its growth has
gradually .-.pread through the civilized
world, despite thu fact thai pain ami
destruction follow its path, dyspepsia
having been hardly known before Its
Introduction. Jt is a "nerve stimulant"
and narcotic poison, and though in no
.sense a food, )s used for lis stimulat
ing principle, Caffeine, which excites
the nerves unuUJurully and wastes tlie
leservo force i)f tlie" body. Coffee
drives the nerves for a time, stimulating-
them beyond, their uatural' function,
and using up till their reserve force.
After the first Affects are past, comes
breaking down of the nt-rvo centres and
general nervou.OleWnkumoui. Follow
ing this In mariy but not all cases Is
a long train of.' misery, among which
the principal symptoms, avu dryness hi
mouth and throat, headache, lilllouh
ness, pains ln- stomach or abdomen,
pain in eyes and1 head, loss or appetite,
dyspepsia and o on through a long,
long list, but the one ciiuko of all the
different .symptoms Js the same.
Tlie nerves have- been broker, down:
their reserve force is gone. Many of
the symptoms of .poisoning ure cxtiemo
nervousness, restlessness, anguish of
mind nnd heart, excessive relaxation
of body and brain, gloominess, Inability
to think correctly, l?eples.sj)eg at
night, drowsiness l Oio morning, etc.

GEO. BLISS' AFFLICTION.
Well-Known Erie Engineer in a Low
Condition A .Shock Received
While Crossing Starucca Trestle in
His Engine Hastened the Crisis in
His Ailment.
It will be depre.-sing news to the wide
circle of friends of Engineer George
Hliss, of Washington place, that he is
in an almost dying- condition from a
nervous trouble, which has so involved
his general health that his recovery is
despaired of.
Mr. Bliss, who has been suffering
from an Impairment of his nervous sys
tem for several months, readied a crisis
in his condition a. few weeks ago by an
occurrence while making ills customary
run on the Jefferson branch of the Ei.
While his engine was creeping over the
trestle at Starucca, which is being filled
in, the frame work suddenly sank. The
disturbance caused the engine to agi
tate and sway as if It were to topple
over. The fear that the locomotive was
going to dash him to n terrible fate
was too great for Hliss to shake off and
he collapsed. After returning to his
homo in this city, lie grew alarmingly
worse and has continued to loose In en
ergy and strength. The ailment from
vhlohhe suffered took a fatal turn with
this happening on the trestle and his
life seems to be slowly ebbing. Despite
all the skill and aid or physicians and
heroic; treatment.
The sad condition of Mr. llllfts, who Is
exceedingly popular among railroad
men In this vicinity, and enjoys the
warmest friendships of a wide acquaint
ance, will be generally deplored.
ONE OF THE BEST.
Talks on "Ruskln's Message to the
Twentieth Century.
The llev. Dr. Dwlghl Illllls, who has
n national reputation, visited Carbon
dale last evening for the llrst time us
put guest, and delivered at the Grand
ids lecture, "Uttskln's Message to the
Twentieth Century," before the largest
audience that has attended the teach
ers' lnstlhtto lecture course. This was
the llnal number of the successful en
terprise. Dr. Illllls has a good presence and a
pleasing voice, even though It strikes
one us being somewhat hlgh-pltchcd,
ilo speaks with a rapidity that would
make an expert stenographer sttr him
self to keep up with the remarkably
ready flow or words. Ills pulpit ex
perience Is present iu his method ot
dellverv.
To Ruskln's Influence Dr. Illllls cred
ited six of the eight great social re
forms or the last half century. Ho was
the llrst to establish the moral obli
gation of wealth and poverty by giving
all that he possessed, nearly two mill
ions ot dollars, the milts of hla toll, to
the poor, finally taking tip his abode in
Wliltechnpel, in London. Ritskln was
the man who went over to the honfo
of art and from the marble palaces
took back the great collection of the
beautiful In art, bestowed' them among
the iioor, brightened their homes and
made possible that the poorest child In
this land can today have, for u cent,
copies or the great masterpieces that
Queen KllzabPth cotild not obtuln. It
was rtusklu who founded the college
settlements, the university extension
project and the establishment of read
ing libraries over several nations. He
diffused the beautiful and the useful
among the poor, and through these
means of education was u factor In the
great fruits ot progress that we are
now enjoying.
Dr. Hlllls' lecture was most compre
hensive and was lately enjoyable for its
satire ami wit and bright bumoi, be
sides Its beauty of rhetoric. It wnp a
fitting close to a splendid lecture course
that the ptibllc-splrltedness or Superin
tendent Garr provided for Carbondall
nns at a nominal cost, just sufficient to
meet tlie expenses.

Why, it almost seems as if they must have come in regular storms from across the sea from
Ireland, France, Switzerland and some of the plain ones from America. As early as September
we had Hurries November brought regular snow storms of them and the clouds and clouds that
have come in December seem like a blizzard. And yet we can hardly get enough to satisfy people.
Then, no matter how large the lots, some particular styles would be picked out and gone in a
twinkling. But we've been mora fortunate this year than ever before in our selections, and all the
pretty, ones aren't gone yet. Why, bless you, they're ALL pretty! Some haven't even been shown
yet. in spito of all our space.
How is it that we get so many more pretty ones than ever before? It's the natural law of
things to improve or deteriorate according to the forces which control them. And we've been ad
