Teach Children to Talk.
A teacher writing in Tow a Normal
Monthly speaks of one form of educa
tion often neglected:
Have a certain part of the day set
apart in which "the little folks are al
lowed to tell about things they have
seen; not places, hut things. Once
upon a time, as noted novelists sav, I
had a bright class of primary children
that had been pushed up from the first
grade for lack of room. They were
obedient, loving, and studious; could
write pretty descriptions and read them,
but when asked to tell anything in their
own words, failed, with the distressing
accompaniment of blushes, tears, and
sobs, with little pitiful, soft cries of
can't, we can't!" I made two divisions
of the class, gave each some fanciful
uame, and then set them to work.
One division was asked to notice every
thing alive seen by the members going
home, the other was to notice every
thing not alive; at lessons, every time,
each child was asked to narpe the thing
or things seen.
The next night, flowers, insects, or
birds were to be noticed. The next,
men and women; the next, clouds, sun
set, stars, etc,, making the lessons first
general, then paVticular. Little by.
little the children would add a few
words of description to the mention of a,
name. After a week or two I requested
them to tell about anything iQ a cortain
room in the house. Then each child,
was allowed to bring a box containing
something to be talked about; the
article to be shown at the same time;
Then a bundle, at another time an en-,
velope. At Christmas time they
brought all their gifts and told about
them. A child could bring a whole
box of tools if be would consent to
stand upon the platform or in front of
the entire school and hold np one article
after another, telling its name and uses.
If he hesitated for a word, other mem
bers of the class were allowed to help,
him.
Tlio first lime a child came in front
of tho school, she would cling to my
dress or hand; then tho arm of my chair
would be a help, and about the third
time, Susie would stand erect, so much
interested in hor story that slio would
entirely forgot to be timid. I asked
thorn to tell about birthday and Thanks-,
giving dinners. Once, as a groat re
ward. 1 permitted thorn to tell stories:
and it was charming to see the darlings)
with their bright eyes and the rose-,
flush on their cheeks, and 'twas delight
ful to listen to tho baby voices that told 1
about the "Glass Slipper," the "Three
Boars" and the "Ugly Duck." Every-,
body wanted to tell a storv. and the

The farther West ope goes, tho larger
tho ideas in a financial way. In the
{Eastern States 1-ccut pieces have been
ip eomtpon use well back to the origin
bf things; but as the individual took
them West, the use became less as ho
traveled. Much of the early contempt
lor the Yankee grew opt of his ability
to see tho pennies, Now these coins
have standing, if not free course, even
beyond the Mississippi, But where they
pay 25 cepts for a common drink they
pre still iu disrepute, and will be putil
tjie steady old methods pro reached,
J?ew aro, perhaps, aware that a p-cent
coin was ever issued by (he Government,
few were ever stamped, pud they are
yplnablo for numismatic oolleotions. It
is alleged that iu tho older sections this
poin has become a neuessjty jn trade,
npd tho American News Dealers' Asso
ciation will petition Congress to revive
this issue. The ponny papers have but
a half-cent return to the publishers, and
Jnany times that fraction is (ogt, floods
are often marked so as to leave the half
cent, and tho dealer usually takes it
in. Probably it forms quite a total iu
some establishments. The European
countries have long seen the need of
small coins, and provided them, Switz
erland has the centime, or tifth of a
cent; Germany a pfenuig, or fourth of
a cent, and other countries similar
small coins. Probably tliey are found
specially useful to donate to beggars or
put in contribution boxes. There liavo
beeu religious gatherings iu some parts
of this country—not the West—iu
which tho collections numbered about
as many 1-cont picoos as contributors,
The early custom was to always con
tribute something to every passing bas
ket or hat, Tho i-ceut is hardly needed
for this purpose as yet.—St, I'aul

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
THE Drexel estate now amounts to
about $1(1,000,000, and is so well invested
that the annual income is nearly a million
dollars. The cost of Miss Drexel'd simple
living hns not exceeded fifty cents a day,
and has come out of the fund of the sis
terhood in whose convent she prepared
herself for her religious life. If her sur
viving sister, Mrs. Morrcll, should die
withoot issue, the entire estate of over
$20,000,000 would then be divided ac
cording to the will among specific chari
ties within the pale of the Roman Cath
olic Church.
A GENTLEMAN of New York city, who
frequently acts as a pall bearer at
funerals, says; "In my opinion pall
bearing is a more fatal disease than
typhoid or dipthcrin. You have to come
out minus, your hat from a room heated
to 70 degrees into the street where the
thermometer stands at 20 degrees, but
you inusj no£ put your hat ou. It's risky
business, and the custom J* be
chaDged. I believe it is a system
by the undertakers to help the business,
for I remember when six pall-bearers
used to be enough, and now our first
class undertakers are not satisfied with
less than twenty."
IN many parts of the west there are
nickel or live-cent savings banks. One
of the first of the kind in this country,
the Citizens' Savings Bank, was estab
lished in Detroit by a mau who had seen
the plan at work in Frankfort-on-the-
Main in 1882. The growth in Detroit
has been extraordinary; the Citizens'
Bank now having 115 agents in dif
fcrcnt parts of the town, handling the
stamps bought by clerks, servants, day
laborers and children. More than R,OOO
children have books aud keep a stamp
deposit with the Citizens', lu Omaha, j
Denver and San Francisco the nickel
savings banks have been instituted with
every prospect of decided success.
THE Census office has recently issued
a bulletin on truck farming. The re- |
turns show that over $100,000,000 is
invested in this business, that 534,440 j
acres of laud devoted to it realize annu
ally over 87G,000,000. The following
shows the acreage or the leading veg
etables grown on truck farms: Aspara-I
gus, 87,970; beans, 12,007; cabbage, I
77,094; kale, 2,962; celery, 15,881; I
cucumbers, 4,721; beets, 2,420; spinach, j
20,195; Irish potatoes, 28,046; sweet j
potatoes, 22,802; peas, 56,162; water- j
melons, 114,881; other melons, 28,477 ;j
miscellaneous vegetables, 82,601.
IT is interesting to note the fact, records
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, that
the South furnished a much larger num- !
ber of troops to the Federal Government
than is generally supposed, and thereby j
weakened the Confederacy. In fact, |
nearly as many enlisted in the Federal
army from the Southern states as com
prised the whole Southern army. Mis
souri gave the largest number, 103,000; I
Kentucky came next, with 78,000; |
Maryland, 49,500; West Virginia, 34,000r
Tennessee, 80,000, and the District of
Columbia, 16,000, exclusive of North
Alabama and North Georgia, besides :
which there were 186,000 negro troops, !
making an aggregate of 501,500 troops |
drawn from the South.
"I RUN between Jersey City and Chic- j
ago," says a Pullman car porter, "and
how much do you suppose I made last
month? Seventeen dollars aud a half. Of ;
course I didn't get in quite a full month,
but was on the road over half the time j
just the same. A porter, when he run j
a full month, cau sometimes make as
much as S3O or $35. If ho makes any
more it is because lots of people are trav
eling on passes or because he is lucky at
policy. Men who travel on passes are
the most liberal. There was a time when
a porter could make $75, and I used to '
know a porter who made $l6O in a!
month. That's the highest I ever heard j
of a porter making. In the East a pcrter j
seldom gets more than a quarter from a
passenger, no matter how far ho runs or
how much he does. Porters in the West |
make the most money, aud especially j
those on emigrant cars, which, west ol
Omaha, are patronized by a good class
of people. There's nothing in being a
porter in the East any more."
THE time is soon to arrive when China
will have railways. At first there was
much opposition to them on the ground
that they would be likely to disturb the
repose of the multitude of ancestors who
are planted all over the country. But
this apprehension is not seriously enter
tained by those high iu official authority
aud it is their intention to establishthis
improvement of civilization as soon as
may be practicable. It is the govern
ment's wish that the railways shall be
constructed at the cost of the Chinese
people and not with money borrowed
from abroad; also that all the iron
for construction and the coal for
running trains shall be obtained from
Chinese mines, which are being rapidly
developed with that object in view. Al
ready there is one short road in operation
and a general system of steam transpor
tation will before very long be estab
lished. The present trend of affairs iu
the empire is progressive, and much will
be accomplished during the next fifty
years in that direction.
Sill) a New York dealer in California
fruits: "The development of this indus
try within the last few years is some
thing astonishing. New York is llie
great depot from which all the East is
supplied with California grapes, pears,
peaches and all kinds of dried fruit'
while Chicago supplies the West. The
specimens now in this market are unusu
ally tine, and the indications are that this
yenr's crop will be an. abundant one and
of exrellent (piality. Jjyring tho last
four or live years fruit growers on the
Pacific coast have given a great deal of
attention to preserved figs, in the hope
of rivaling the foreign article, but so far
they have not been very successful. 'The
trouble appears to be that they do not
yet understand the process of curing the
figs or packing them for the marks ,
two items which are of considerable im
portance, and tho secrets of which are
well understood by foreign dealers.
BESIDES the hides of the alligator, of
which 50,000 or 00,000 are annually util
ized in the United States, there are other
commercial products obtained. The
teeth, which are round, white, and coni
cal, and as long as two joints of an av
erage finger, are mounted with gold or
silver, and used for jewelry, trinkets, and
for teething babies to play with. They
are also carved into a variety of forms,
such as whistles, buttons and cane
handles. This industry is carried on
principally iu Florida. Among Chinese
druggists there is a great demand for
alligators' teeth, which arc said to 'oo
powdered and administered as a remedy.
As much as a dollar apiece is paid by
them for fine teeth. All the teeth ol
the alligator are of the clnss of conical
tusks, with 110 cutting or grinding ap
paratus, and hcuce the animal is forced
to feed chiefly on carrion, which is ready
prepared for liis digestion. Other com
mercial products of tho alligator are tho
oil and musk pods. The tail of an alli
gator of twelve feet in length, on boiling,
furnishes from fifty to seventy pints of
excellent oil, which, in Brazil, is used
for lighting and in mediciue. The oil
hns been recommended for the cure of
quite a variety of diseases. It has a high
reputation among the swampers as a
remedy for rheumatism, being given
both inwardly and outwardly.
TIIAT American people are becoming
more and more inteiested in tracing the
history of their English antecedents is
well illustrated by Moncurc D. Conway,
i in the introduction to his paper on "The
English Ancestors of Washington,"which
appears in Harper's Magazine. "In
1788," he says, "Washington thought
i it inexpedient to accept the dedication
of William Barton's essay on Heraldry,
I while a portion of the community were
j 'clamorously endeavoring to propagate
an idea that those whom they wish in
1 dividiouly to designate by the name of
■i the " well-born" are meditating iu the
I first instance to distinguish themselves
| from their compatriots, and to wrest the
j dearest privileges from the bulk of the
people.' This intimidation lasted long.
Even in the last generation exceptional
| young people who betrayed any interest
in theirauccstors were apt to be snubbed,
■i and old family papers were abandoned
to the mice. But gradually interest in
1 genealogy crept back. Some families
; began to suspect that the mice had eaten
j their titles to English estates; the new
science of heredity had attractions for a
people disgusted with vulgar plutocracy.
] It is now pretty well understood iu
: America that a family tree is no Upas,
I but a good fruit tree. In London I latc
} ly passed a good many days in the Col
lege of Arms, investigating the subject
of this paper, and a majority of those
who came to make inquiries of the gene
alogist, who had given me a place at his
table, were Americans."
Child Suicide in Germany.
A correspondent of a moiling paper
writes an interesting letter on the subject
| of suicide among the children of Ger
, many. lie cites statistics from the mor
' tality reports of the capital of the empire
! which show that last year there were
sixty-two child suicides in that city and
that the children taking their own lives
■ were between seven aud fifteen years of
I age. The cause he attributes to the rig
orous discipline to which the little ones
j are subjected and the strict regime of
; their earlier school days. All this, he
| says—and he cites from his own youthful
; experience—tends to bring on melan
; cholia, and it is only a step from this
! fearful mental trouble to suicide.
Ovcreducation is not alone a fault of
i the German method. It is likewise the
i tendency of educators in this country,
. and this over eduction is in the line of
i non-useful pursuits. Education is yet
' hampered by the traditions of bygone
days and it can never reach its perfect
development until freed from these
I trammels. As to discipline, the German
method is calculated to laisc up better
men than our American ways. Our chil
dren are given too much liberty and are
pushed into society at too early an age.
The result of the German discipline is
that it first teaches the German boy
obedience and subjection to his parents
and superiors and loyalty to and respect
for the state. This is a characteristic of
the German man and such subjection
and loyalty do not rob him of one par
ticle of his manly qualities. It is no
exaggeration to state that in these traits
many American youths are wanting.—

Fish Hatched in the Sky.
I observe a reference made in the Amer
ican Angler touching upon showers of
fish, in which it states that science has
not yet fully explained the phenomena.
This is perhaps slightly incorrect. Sev
eral causes have been suggested. Might
it not very probably be that fish and
frogs which fail apparently from the skies
are really bred there if
Water fowl, it is known, very fre
quently carry eggs of fish to a great dis
tance, having swallowed thorn, and in
their flight disgorging the same ui
harmed where they can and do fructify
and mature in water over which thesi
birds pass. The eggs of many old fish
are very glutinous, and readily adhere to
substances brought in contact with them
during particular times of their incuba
tion. Is it not very probable that not
only do these birds convey ova upon their
wings as well as in thedr crops, and when
flying at great heights the ova, becoming
j detached from the wings, may remain
' suspended in the moist atmosphere, which
i is quite possible under certain conditions
j of atmospherical pressure, and that when
' under development they become too
| heavy, and naturally fall lo the earth?—

Hailstorms and Forests.
| A curious observation regarding liail
i storms has been brought before the j
j Swiss Geographical Society at Geneva by
; Herr Riniker, the Chief Forester of
j Aargau Canton. He maintains that hail-
I storms do not occur where there nro
forests, and cites the case of a small chain
of mountains in the south of Aargau,
I known as the "Lindonbcrgc," which, in
! their normal state, are completely cov
ered with trees. About twenty-five
I years ago the forest was felled in two
places, leaving wide gaps across the vul
i leys and over the range aud immediately
j afterward the valleys were visited by
devastating hailstorms. Five or six years
| later the larger of the two gaps was
planted with firs, and since that time
not a single hailstorm hat been reported
I in that portion of the range, or in the
I valley below, while farther up, in the
| neighborhood of the other gap iu the
forest, they still occur every year. The
government is now considering the ad
visability of closing the gap and letting
"nature take its course." —(Commercial

STONED TO DEATH.
Summary Justtoe Meted Out In the ISIbll
mt Muuner In Afghanistan.
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth." The dictum of the old law still
holds good in Afghanistan, 6ays tho
Sheffield Telegraph. In tact, the man;
ners, customs, and surroundings of the
Afghans of to-day might be prototyped
in the pages of the Old Testament as
faithfully as the life of the Israelites.
The Afghans are Mohammedans, it is
true, but their religion is built on old
law lines and their social life is as
simple aud patriarchal as when the
great lawgiver Moses ruled the destinies
of the people of Israel.
For iu Afghanistan of to-day oxen
tread out the corn and plow the fields;
and the plow itself is a counterpart of
the Mosaical instrument. Corn is
grouud iu hand-mills, and a goatskin
serves as a "water-bottle." Household
and farming utensils have changed
nothing during the centuries that have
elapsed since the Israelites tramped
the desert by the Red Sea. In short,
you could find a series of "tableaux
yivanfcs" in the surrounding of Afghan
istan of to-day to fill up chapter by
chapter the scenes depicted iu the Oldj
Testament. It is spid that the Afghani
are one of the lost tribes, and certainly
as far as dogged adherence to Israel
itisk notions is concerned they might
to.
There is no mistaking the Mosaical
parallel as far as the social customs
present themselves; but I was aston-!
isbed one evening, during the Russian!
scare, when I was on the Afghani
frontier, to see the very similitude ofj
the old law punishment of stoning to
death put in practice.
A yelling mob of people came rush
ing from all directions toward the out
skirts of the village of Puckta, picking
up pieces of stone by the way and pil
ing them in little heaps by their feet.,
1 thought at the time they were going
to have a pitched battle, with stones as
missiles. But shortly a man came run-}
ning forward, followed by a spitting,
hooting mob, shouting "Sag! Sag!"
(dog! dog!) The unfortunate runaway
evidently knew his fate, for his long,
earnest appeal to heaven us he stopped
short and threw his arms up was but
the preliminary to his fearful fate—his
fiual appeal for mercy on his soul, for
from that howling mob he well knew
he need expect none.
The man had scarcely time to finish
his invocation, when from all directions
a literal shower of stones fell on him.
For a moment he swayed to and fro
under the onslaught. Soon the terrible
shower had battered him in a jellied,
blood-bespattered mass, his very clothes
showing rents through which the blood
found vent aud sjiurted freely. He
wavered for a moment with his chin
bobbing his chest, and then, after
doubling up at the knees and middle,
fell in a heap, dead.
Still the howling mob continued their
terrible fusillade of stones until around
the already lifele is body a cairn was
formed, completely covering in the
corpse. And then the mob clapped
their hands, crowed, and went their
way. "That dog is done for," said they.
Done for! Yes, it was a terrible doing;
for there under tho heap of stones the
man's nerves and muscles still vibrated
in their post-death struggle, causing
the stone heap to rise and fall as if in
labor with a thing of life; rose and fell
in their horrible parturition for a few
moments until the twitching of nerve
and muscle ceased, and all was still.
"Consummatum est." The murderer
of Afghanistan has breathed his last
and his jacet is written around the
tombstone in those blood marks that
bespatter the ground about his grave
cairn.

Don't forget that pure-minded, iutel

Don't tattle. Tattling is the thorns

Don't cultivate the habit of criticising
every person and everything you see; it
is evidence you are a better subject for
criticism than anything else.
Don't forget that your best dower is

Don't forget that a good domestic ed

Don't marry a man who has sown

you may live to reap the harvest.
Don't marry a man addicted to the
