Hannah Gneldt leaned upon her broom, and looked out from the low kitchen door across the wintry fields and ice-glazed streamlet which lay between her home and tbe village of Greenock, with its one tapering spire and sloping roof and blank white walls, bare now of their summer verdure. She had done her house hold work, polished every article capable of polish, and soaped and sanded all the rest. A the hut she had swept clean her door-stone, and now felt free to do what she chose, to rest or gossip or sit down to needle work a thing impossible to her while a spot beneath her roof was out of order. Just no .he felt neither like gossiping or tewing; her heart was very full, and she found it necessary to stand still and think a while. Only that she was not used to it, she would have cried, she was so very sad. It seemed to her that the happiest people were those who lay in their green graves in the churchyard, witn crossed hands upon their bosoms, and feel quiet from all earthly going to and fro for ever more. Not that Hannah Gneldt was tired in body or weary with the toil of household duty, for she was strong in frame, and her health was perfect as her hands were willing. It. was on her humble heart the burden lay, her spirit that was worn with earthly trouble and care. "Twenty-three years to-day I've been his wife," she murmured, "and I've loved him well, and worked hard and faithful to keep things decent, and it has come to this at last. 'Things had been better, says he, if Lit? iiau iiiaiuvi eijco ajcoi. k es, thai was what Farmer Gneldt harrassed by toil and debt, had said that very morning; and it seemed to Hannah like the confession ol a long repentance, forced from her hus band's lips at last. "Poor man ! I wish I could help him," she sighed, leaning on her broom beside the door. "I doubt he's right about Miss Lester." With that her eyes fell and rested by chance on the doorstep. "I can mend that, anyhow," she said; "and I have time, for my work is done." So she hung the broom up and peeped into her oven and set the kettle on, and then, hooded . and shawled, crossed the fields to where the farm joined that of Simon Gray. On one spot were men at work breaking up the stones lying about Hannah Gneldt nodded' to the old farmer and he came to meet her. "I want a smooth stone," she said. "May I have one?" "I wish you'd take 'em all," said farmer; "a lot of rubbish. You see I'm clearing away what they call the old graveyard at last Wife talks to me of sacrilege and disturbin' bones. Bless you, there ain't been none for years and years; and these hard times a man cant let land go to waste. I tell wife she don't know nothin' about it What do you want to do ? Have a bit around the well ?" "No, I want a step," said Hannah. "That great white one is just the thing." And she pointed to slab hard by. "Ike shall bring it over to-night" said the farmer. "No," said Hannah;. "I can roll it along. I wish I could tell what that was," she said. "Some one's age and name. Ah! there were sore hearts when that was new. I hope when I die Oliver will have written over me that I was a good wile. I've tried hard to be. I ought to know that big letter. Wait a bit I believe it'sZ." Then she turned the inscription downward and washed the other side clear and white and fitted it into place. bhe received little credit lor uer work. Oliver only muttered: " You needn't have published the fact that I couldn't afford a porch to the plac?." And no one noticed the step afterward save Hannah when she scrubbed and swept it Matters were very ad at tne Gneldts. Oliver brooded over the fire in BDeechless sorrow, and grew grayer and balder each passing day. te a w a M l'ill 1 iiannan kept rum on a inue uy making a home 'of the poor house and a feast nf the bumble fare by her housewife's skill. She might even have been cheerful, but for the memory of that luckless speech. Working in her garden one day, when the nretspringgrass was grow ing green, Hannah heard footsteps, and, lifting her head, saw two gentle men beside her, and arose precipi tately, with womanly anxiety about her ankles, not strictly covered, per haps, by her cotton gown. The near est gentleman, an elderly man, with bright, dark eyes, addressed her: "Mrs. Gneldt, I presume?" "Yee.sir.'' She asked him to walk in, and he did so, the other following. In the little parlor they sat down. "You are Mrs. Hannah Gneldt, Oliver Gneldt's wife?" "Yes, sir; it is about about ex cuse me; you look like n lawyer, and I fear it is mora trouble Tor poor ui iver." 'Reassure vourself. madam." said the gentleman; "reassure yourself. madam. Your husband is not con corned save through vou, and that I hope, pleasantly. Your name was Burns before vou were married ?" "Yes, sir, Hannah Burns." "Do you remember dates well ?" No, sir." "You hav, perhaps, a record of j iamiiy events your own birth, your parents' marriage, your grandfather's death?" Hannah Gneldt wonderingly re plied. . '. . "I have mother s Bible, and they j tea me it s an there." "How far bock?,' "To grandfather's birth, I believe Grandfather Burns. He had one child ; and I am the only one my parents ever had. Oliver set down our wedding day and our two boys' birthdays." " "And your great-grandfather the record of his death is there?" . "I dont know; you may see. Wait, I'll call my husband." Going to the door, Hannah took down a horn, used for that purpose, and uttered a call, which brought Oliver Gneldt home from the field at once. He also felt alarmed, but expla nations quieted him. Almost as much astonished as his wife, he brought out the bible." "The death of my wife's great grandfather, Zebulon Burns, is not here," he said. "The first record is in his hand, I believe. It is the birth of his eldest child." So it proved, and the lawyer look ed disappointed. "You cannot remember the day of his death ?" he said. "I mean the date of it" "He died long before I was born," said Hannah, "and though rich, left nothing to grandfather. They had quarreled, I believe. He told odd stories of him. He must have been very eccentric, and a servant or housekeeper had great influence over him ; she had the property. Margery Margery Margery ," "Margery Wilber, I think," said the lawyer. "Yes," suiJ Hannah. "I remem ber now." "You are quiet people, not likely to talk too .nuch," said the lawyer. "I will tell you something. We have fount 1 something. We have found a will among the effects of a legal gentleman who died very sud denly in a fit of apoplexy. Don't hope too much, mind. A will in your favor, as your father's only child."

Hush! dont hope too much. Margery Wilber or her heirs now hold this property under a will dated March loth, 17." "A later will.! said Oliver- "Then of course they are the rightful pos sessors. What need of all this? the latest must stand." "Not if it is a forgery," said the lawyer. Oliver laughed, the bitter laugh of care and disappointment "Who can prove that" he said. No one. Yet the record of his death might "A man whose dying hand signed a will the 10th of March would scarcely make anothei on the 15th. We believe the will a forgery, written on old parchment since the discovery of the one I have spoken of. Margery Wilber took possession with legal forms, for no one appear ed to test her tittle.

Geography ia a branch of the com mon school course, in which chil dren usually take great interest You and I have, perhaps, forgotten most of the subject learned by ue at school; others will do the fame in the years to come. I can recollect the time when a mud-puddle furnished oceans, seas, gulfs, rivers, etc., while the sand about it could be molded into con tinents, islands, peninsulas, capes, etc Most of us have had similar experiences. What a pleasure thrill ed us then as we disported around the puddles and framed those little microcosms of our own ! We were at once creator, preserver and de stroyer if we so will. The idea has been taken hold of and applied in our city schools to teaching young children the subject of geography so far as the knowledge of the divisions of land and water and their peculiarities are concerned. Small pupils are furnished with a board, which is provided with a raised border; thid board is water tight Some 8aud, nice and clean, ia heaped in one corner of the board; about a quart of water is poured on the board, and the children work, literally, in a world of their own. V ho can suppose that the divisions formed by them will ever be forgot ten, eith'er in name or character? Why cannot such a system be intro duced into our county schools? I am well aware that much opposition would be made. Parents wouid say, "When I want my children to spend their time playing in tbe mud, 1 11 set them at it myself, and not send them to school to learn tbe art, but I am well satisfied that much may be taught by the means I haye men tioned. You have a class of ad vanced pupils. They are deep in the mysteries of physical geography. Perhaps they are studying up the subject of icebergs. A bucket of water and a lumnot ice will assist their comprehension of the subject You can by actual measurement show them just how much of the ice is below the water and how much above. Warm the water a very lit tle, and see how it wiil round off the ice until it becomes top-heavy and rolls over. Then imagine the ice a million or more cubit feet instead of two or three cubic inches, and they will readily see that it would be a most dangerous neighbor for a ship. Make the water slightly salty; set it out on a cold night anl show a . a it. your cl;! that tne water maoe oy melting the ice Irozen during the night is perfectly fresh, while the brine is stronger. " Have yon ever-read 'TyTrdall's Forms of Water," or his "Heat as a Mode of Motioa?" If net, procure and read them. You will arise from their perusal with more advanced ideas than you now possess. You will be better able to do your work in the school room, too. No' teacher can do his best work in tbe school room without a certain amount of apparatus, suitable for the branch which he is teaching. I shall allude to this as I take up the different branches. In geography there are wanted at least a globe, a hemisphere globe, an orrery may be made useful, and a set of outline maps. If you have these things use them. Don't stow them away in the garret; use them; that is what they were made for. If you don't know how to. use them, for heaven's sake and for your own sake learn how at once. Don't take pay for furnishing the children with bread when you "give them but stones." Perhaps you have no outline maps. Well, what of it? Take some old geography and cut the maps out of it; hang them up at such a distance that your class cannot see the paint ed names. You will have a set then that will answer, and you can use your own work as an incentive to your board of directors to persuade them to procure a set If you have no globe make one. "Three pota toes may be so used as to thorough ly explain eclipses." An orrery is better, but if I have no orrery I will not hesitate to use the potatoes; will you? I have said that children usually delight in the study of geography. Can we find any way of accounting for this? The mere fact that it con tains an account of othei countries, men, animals, etc., will not account for it I can account for it m but ma .at a 1 11 one way, viz: l nai mis stuay cans into play the child s memory for facte which is then the dominant memory. You or I cannot to-day learn the dull, dry list of facts that we once could. I remember once I committed to memory a great many verses from tbe New Testament in a week and recited them at Sunday school. I would not agree to do it aow for as many dollars. I merely mention this to show what the mem ory may bo lorced to do. lbese verses were as meaningless to me as the hand writing on the wall was to Belshazzar. I can yet after long 1 a 1 years, in wnicn my mina nas oeen constantly concentrated on other things, frequently recall long pass ages from that lesson. I wish to im press on the mind of the teacher the fact that whatever is to be remem bered merely as a fact and in the words of the book must be laid op in the storehouse of memory before the reasoning powers are developed. Can you commit and retain a piece of poetry now? I venture to say you cannot Yet when you were fourteen or thereabouts you would have deemed it play. Geography deals in facts, dry sta tistics; you must be more or less a Gradgrind in teaching. Those long rows of statistical figures can be nlaced in the memory and "they will come when called" in after years, if you only have them stored away in boyhood and girlhood; but if you "wait awhile" the golden hours will flit by, and the opportunity will be cone forever. The best oniieu ciass in geograpny that I ever saw had been trained from "Pelton's Outline Maps." Their teacher was a hobbyist The whole school was thoroughly drilled on geography. I sat for an hour and asked those young Missourians the (I WHOLE NO. 1610. hardest kind of statistical Questions, such as the length of little, out of way rivers, height of mountains, f ovulation of unheard of cities, etc. must 3ay that if there was a ques tion in geography that they did not know I could not find it in a week's cramming from "works of reference" for the special purpose of examin ing them. That school was a mar vel; there were no degrees in it; what one knew all knew. I presume any one of them knew more geog raphy than is known by all the teachers in Pennsylvania together. Now what benefit was this save as a mere exercise of memory? I do not know, but I venture the assertion that thev do not know it to-day. Drill did this work, and did it in five months, too; but a "hobby horse" had been ridden to death in the process. Do not let ua be "hobby-horse riders." Give to geography its proper time, but give it no more. It makes very little difference to you or me just where some little lake away on in Central Afriea is located, or whether it is located at all. It should make but little difference in the grade of your certificate. Geog raphy is, comparatively sneaking, a branch of minor importance. The greater portion of it "does not stick." Understand me, as a means of strengthening the mind of the young it is an important study. Certain definitions will go with us through life; we must know them, but when we come down to the facts we go to works of reference for them. How many of our teachers can off-hand bound Green county, Pa.? How many can tell at once in what county is Steubenville, Ohio? How many know the number of counties in Florida? How many teach any the worse for not knowing these thines? Not one of us. They are things of minor import which no man re gards. Every man wants to know that the earth is- round; what is meant by latitude and what by longi -tude. He will be no worse citizen if he does not know them, but h cannot lay claim to being an educat ed man in any sense if 'ie be so ig norant. I have heard- the question asked, "How do you know tliat the sun is the centre ot tt e solar sys tem?" My answer is, "I know that the sun is in the centre of the solar system because on that supposition all the facte can be philosophically and satisfactorily accounted for, and on no other supposition."' I shall add here, do not attf-rapt to shun the mental drudgery. 1 1 must be done some time, or it i iust be entirely neglected. See t it i nit the work is done, and welJ i!on- The only watchword for the teacher is drill, drill, drill. My next chapter will be on Unit ed States History. A Wonderful Transformation. The following remarkable story is vouched for by eight reliable citizens of Erie, Pa.: Win. P. Baxter is a farmer, and had for many years owned a large farm situated between North East Ia- an(i Kipfej. - Y. He is frequently in Erie, where he is well known. Near to the Baxter farm there lives a family by the name of Fear, highly respected by their neighbors. About twenty-five years itgo there was born in this family a girl, a sweet little cherub that became the pet of the neigh borhood. They named her Rosa, and she grew up a lovely child, and in due time was sent to school. Here she distinguished herself by most extraordinary precocity. Her apti tude exceeded that of scholars ten years older than herself, and ia less than two years she had passed every other pupil and stood at the head of her classes, the holder of all the honors competed for. At the age of fourteen she entered the services of Mrs. Baxter, the first wife of the farmer referred to. Rosa proved to be as good a girl for farmhouse duties as she had been a student, and the Baxter family liked her so well that she was treated in every respect as though she was one of the family. She continued to live there, and when she had attained the age of eighteen her hand was sought in marriage by a young farmer from a neighboring village. For some rea son, unaccountable at that time to herfriend3, Miss Fear declined the honorable offer, alleging that she had no desire to quit the roof of her kind friends. About this time it be gan to be noticed that Rosa's features were losing their feminine softness, and that the effeminate contour of her hitherto symmetrical form was vanishing, and giving place to mas culine angularity. Her hands, that were once so well shaped, began to grow large and coarse, and a down appeared on her upper lip. lhe presence of the latter greatly dis tressed her, and as it continued to grow in spite of all her efforts to prevent it, she become so ashamed that she refused to accompany the Baxters to the family pew in the village church, or to mingle in any of the socials or parties in which she had once been a courted belie. 1 he family, while deeply regretting the loss of Rosa's personal attractions, tried to laugh her out of her sensi tiveness, but the girl appeared to be consumed with a secret. About six months after this, Rosa did not appear as usual one morn ing. No answer came from her room, and when it was broken open it was found to have been unoccupied that night All Rosa's clothes were hang ing up, even to those she was accus tomed to wear about the house. Mr. Baxter sent his son Charles to look in the barn, dreading to enter it him self, for a dreadful suspicion of sui cide was uppermost in his thoughts. But Rosa was not in the barn, neith er was she on any part of the farm. At last the searchers found two let ters in her trunk, one addressed- to Mrs. Baxter and the other to her parents. The contents of Mr3. Bax ter's letter created the utmost con sternation. It is said that the writer had gone away ; that it would be useless to follow her ; that her life had become unbearable because within a year nature had worked a complete metamorphosis, unsexing her, and making it necessary to change her home and raiment The astonished Baxters discovered that she had left all her female clothing, down to the minutest article, and that she had attired herself in a suit of clothes belonging to Dr. A. A. r rceman, now an alderman from the First ward, in Erie. Dr. Freeman wat a yearly visitor at the Baxter farm. He was well acquainted with Miss Fear when she was little Rosa, and he often saw her when she lived with the Baxters. He had been vis iting there a week before the girl dis appeared, and left a suit of clothes behind him by mistake. 1 wo months passed and a letter came in Rosa's fine handwriting. It informed the family that the wri ter was well and was working as a farmhand in Ohio, but that the stamp of the letter would give no clue to her address. Two yenra elapsed and one morn ing a fine-looking young man with sun-burned face magnificent beard, and heavy dark mustache stood at the gate of the ear homestead. "Do you know me, Mary?" he said to the young lady who came out to ascertain his business. The tones were doep and manly and there was a familiar ring in the stranger's voice. "It is Rosa !" said the girl, and the next moment the spectators were regaled with a sight of Miss Mary Fear clasped in the arms of a young fel!-..,j giving back as many kisses on his mustache as he showered upon her uplifted face. "Not Roa, but Charles Fear, now," said the whilom housemaid, and then he told them how, after that wonderful change, he had hired out as male help, that he had made a little money and had come home to work the farm. Charles Fear runs the farm to-day, and Ripley has no citizen held in higher estimation than he. Since hU return he has twice been ap pointed a teacher in the public schools, and he can be seen on the Fear farm every day in the week. Such is the remarkable story told to a correspondent of the Buffalo Courier. The references given were hunted up. and although there was a reluctancy to speak about it, all confirmed the story. Dr. Freeman was called upon re garding the suit of clothes, and he confirmed the account stating a9 that he was well acquainted with all the circumstances related. He fur ther stated that in hi3 opinion na ture was undecidetl as to Fear's sex, and that at the ago mentioned mas culinity developed. f'orrring Itoilrra With Silk. It is well known that silk is an excellent non-conductor of heat, and some recent experiments in Ger many would seem to indicate that it might pay to encase boilers in this costly material. In one trial three boilers of the same size and make ranged in order, one covered with the ordinary felt, another with a coating of silk only five-eighths of the thickness of the felt while the third was left altogether uncov ered. They were all filled with wa ter, having a temperature of 100 de grees Centigrade, and examined at intervals. After the lapse of three hours it was found the unprotected boiler had lost twelve degrees of heat, and the other two each two degrees. After a further lapse of thirty-three hours, the fe!t-covered boiler had lost thirteen and a half degrees, and that covered with silk only four teen, so that there was no apprecia ble difference between the protective powers of the silk and those of a casing of felt nearly twice ite thick ness. With regard to thecost of the material, it is saM- that in all silk manufactories there are waste scraps which it would be difficult or im possible to utilize in the trade. These can, it is asserted, be made up into bands and rolls, costing com paratively little, and sold at a profit to the makers and users of boilers. As to the lasting and wearing powera ot silk as compared with felt, noth ing is saidj and there has not Per haps, been time to apply an ade quate test ; but it is at the least pos sible that in this respect the finer substance may possess great advan tage over the coarser and cheaper. General Torbet'a Core. Torbet, of cavalry fame, who was lost at sea last year with the ill-fated Vera Cruz, was a good fighter and a hard worker. While having a kind ly heart for the trooper who was al ways ready for "boots and saddles," he hated a shirk and had his own way of meeting the complaint urged by shirkers to get rid of duty. Just before breaking camp in the spring of 18G5 the general attended a sick call to see the state of health in his command. One after another of the boys came in for prescriptions, and by-and-by a strapping big trooper, who was a notorious shirk, entered the tent with his hands on his stomach. Torbet took him all in at a glance and then thundered out: "What are you here for?" "Sick," was the faint response. "What ails you?" "Snake in tne stomach." "How long h.n it been ther?'' "Six months." "Surgeon," said the gem-ral, as he turned to the officer, "call in two men, cut this man open and remove the snake ! We are going to break camp in ten days, and we haven't time to coax the reptile up!" Fifteen minutes after thi3 the man was out on the line grooming his horse, and by noon he looked well enough to eat his way through a barrel of pork. Vigorous! At-tioa Determiaed On. Washington, May 1. The Presi dent has decided to put down the Indian outbreak in Arizona as soon aa possible and has so expressed himself to the Secretary of War. who has been instructed to take prompt, vigorous measures to that end. Or; ders are issued for additional troops to proceed to the scene of trouble in Arizona and aid the troops there in preventing further acts of violence and bringing the h Ttiles to speedy justice. These reinforcement will consist of the first infantry, now in Texas; south infantry, on Union Pacific Railroad, department of Platte third cavalry, also in department of Platte, and part of the math cav alry, department of Missouri. The President is in earnest in the matter, and in the words of a prominent ar my officer intends to make "a clean sweep." The probabilities are that the troops in Arizona and New Mex ico will be united in one command under a Brigadier General yet to be assigned to that duty. Altoona Accidentia. Altooxa, Pa., May 4.Y. P.
