There area great many people who imagine that elementary teaching might be properly car- ried out by teachers provided with only elemen- tary knowledge. Let me assure you that that is the profoundest mistake in the world. There is nothing so dificult to do as to write a good elementary book, and there is nobody so hard to teach properly and well as people who know nothing about a subject; and I will tell you why.

If they don’t, it 1s their fault and not mine; but when I appear before a body of people who know nothing about the matter, who take fou gesoet whatever I say, surely it becomes needful that I consider wi Isay, make sure that it will bear examination, and that I do not impose upon the credulity of those who have faith in me.

That is what I mean by cal teachers, and although the deficiency is being remedied toa large extent, I think itis one which has long existed, and which has existed from no fault of those who undertook tu teach, but because until within the last score years it absolutely was not possible for any one ina great many branches of science, whatever his desire might be, to get instruction which would enable him to be a good teacher of elementary things. All that is being rapidly altered, and f hope it will soon become a thing of the past. ——_—_-e-______ The Man of From ths London Spectator.

The peoples, broucht close by electric railways, steamers, and education, will, in all human probability, give up the prejudice of race, and largely cross" their blood. Past evidence shows that when that occurs, as it did once In India, the dark races give the white races their tinge, but take their outline of form; and the usual man would be a well-formed human being, slighter and rounder than the present European, and with skin of a very light brown, dark eyes, and hair uniformly black. Then the human race will be crowded, and, being crowded, will have a flerce struggle for means, and in that struggle will develop the enduring power of the China- man, the best industriel of the world. who will work sixteen hours a day, and put will Into his labor all the while. The slight, brown man will, therefore, be very strong and industrious. And, finally, he will have had a thousand years of brain toil, will have begun to reject such toil in self-defense, and will tend to intellectual qui- escence. In short, he !s much more likely to resemble a@ slightly handsomer and browner Chinese than either the European of to-day or Mr. Kay Robinson's hairless, toothless, club-toed, timid, and non-locomotfve monstrosity. ——— David Davis and the Eunion.

If the horse | republican successes, Some twenty years ago David Davis was saf- fering with a severe bunion on his left foot. At least the Senator supposed it was a bunion, although, as he hadn’t seen his feet for a gene- "ration, It was pretty much a matter of guess- work. However, it hurt him more than the 80 he called in a chiropo- dist, and when that specialist inspected the damage and came to the surface once more, he reported that the excrescence was about as bi, as a 10 cent leaf, and that nothing but the most careful treatment would @ foot.

It was a sad sight to watch the officer of our most dignified body hobbling up the Capitol steps porported by a big cane, and the leather pedestal referred to for six months after that. It was a new edition of Bun- ton’s Pilgrim's Progress, bound in calf. Some- times the bunion would grow better and some- times worse. Meanwhile the corn doctor sent in bis regular bill “for digging out the Senator's foundation,” as he facetiously called it. At last the sufferer became imbued with an absorbing desire to visually inspect the cause of his tor- ments, and, one day, yiclding toa sudden im- pulse, he limped tntoa photograph saloon, pried off his shoes, and requested the operatorto take atintype of ‘his foot. When it was completed he almost fell off his seat in an apoplectic fit of rage, for the disclosed a: iron clamp attached to his le toe, the acrew of which the chiropodist evidently tightened or loosened at leasure.

Hoersa a Svsstirvts ror Ratn.—Hoeing and the frequent stirring of the surface of the soil are good substitutes for rain. Those parte ot the garden that are most frequently culti- vated show the best results. It is probable that corn, watermelons, tomatoes, Lima beans and cabbage, and poeably other plants, if well started in goo deep soil, may go through a two-months’ drought without very serious dam- age. A deep, well-manured soll suffers much leas than a shallow soil. Subsoiling and manure are, to a certain extent, substitutes for rain. Moisture comes from below. Underdraining 18 also asafeguard against drought. The course of the drains in the garden can easily be marked in a dry season by the ranker gro of vegeta- tion above them. Irrigation in many of the north will pay. The soll, if well prepared, could use to good advantage twice the quantity of water it receives from rains during the dry months of summer.— Farmers’ Magazine. Asour Manvres.—All vegetables that are grown for their leaves or stems require an abundance of nitrogenous manures, and it is useless to attempt repeals gardening without it. To this class belong cabbage, lettuce, spinach, eto. The other cl: which is grown principally for its seeds or pods, as beans, etc., does not require much manure of this character; in fact, the plants are jnjured by It. Tt causes too great a growth of stem and leaf, and the earliness—a great alm in vegetable growing—is injuriously affected. Mineral ma- ures, as wood ashes, bone dust, etc., are much better for them. For vegetables requiring rich stable manure it is that they have it well rotted and decayed. Nothing has as yet been found so well fitted for the purpose as old hot bed dung, though to the smell no trace of am- monia remains in it.— Gardener's Monthly. A New Aaricu.roraL PLant.—The soja bean is a new agricultural plant that has been.grown for some years in Austria and Hungary, both as @ forage plant anda vegetable. It resembles somewhat a bean ; the stems are stiff and hairy, as are the leaves; the pods are produced in bunches of from two to five, and contain each from two to four smooth, oval nankin-colored seeds. The latter, which are produced in great abundance, Fecaoanest by chemists to be the richest of all human food. may be used as food for mankind as well as for beasts. and the straw is eaten by sheep and cattle. Sown early in May, In any good soil, in rows twelve or fifteen inches distant, it ripens in August, and stands well heat and drouth, Forty-five pounds are reported from one pound of seed; all kinds of stock like it as well as peas, while sheep and cattle relish the straw even better than hay.— Southern Industries. DILvTED URINE A Goop MANURE Eor Lawns. Iwish to say to the correspondent who asks about liquid manure for his lawn that he has just what he wants for asmall lawnin urine. The effect is speedy and never-failng. In a week or ten days after the pplication the grass will begin to darken and increase in growth and thicken on the ground, the growth continu- ing five to six weeks where a moderate quan- tity—say at the rate of a gallon to seventy square feet—is given. If a heavier application is made the growth will be increased and its duration extended. Where there tsa fair coat of grass the light application will suffice. I apply the urine (with a watering-pot) in a dl- luted form, one gallon of urine to two gallons of water, followed by an equal or greater quan- tity of water to wash it into the soil. By giving @ fall sprinkling, rich verdure can be main- tained till winter, with an early good start in the spring. There is no more effective manure than urine, whether used fresh or after fermen- tation.— Correspondence Gentleman. Tae Uses or Hop PLants.—Hop plants can be used for various purposes. Thus, the wires or twigs are of service for basket or wicker work, and the leaves furnish food tor farm stock and sheep; trom the tendrils a vegetable wax is obtained, and from their juicea coloring matter. The young shoots, too, are eaten, tasting, when boiled, like asparagus, and when bleached they can be made into strong paper and card board; from their fiber in Sweden yarn and linen are spun, and the ashes are used by the makers of Bohemian glass; while from the flowers, which give an agreeably bitter taste to. beer, a tinc- ture is derived and a medicinal extract; and a pillow filled with hops will often cause sleep, and is a great specific with old country dames. How To Destroy Currant Worms.—A writer in the Fruit Recorder says there 1s no necessity of breeding currant worms. This is done by leaving bushes untrimmed, the worms always attacking the new growth first. He says: “My plan is this: In starting a currant patch I con- fine the bush not to exceed from one to three main stems, and give all the strength of the root to their support. All currant-growera are aware that worms first make their appearance on & new growth and then spread over the bush. Consequently no sprouts, no worms. This is Just as plain gs that two and two make four. I have followed this plan for the past two years to my satisfaction, and have barely seen the effects of worma on one or two bushels where my plan was not fully carried out. But such currants I never saw grow, the common red Dutch being nearly twice as large as the cherry currant and a better bearer. I had a few bushes that actually broke down from their load of fruit.” Hints WortH MINDING.—A gentleman told us the other day that last year he had constant- ly for several moaths green peas upon his table of his own raising, and that they lost nothing of their deliciousness. There is no difficulty in this, if gardeners are instructed to go steadily on with their plantings through the season; but few will do it on their own account, as it addsto their labor. The way, however, to ralse the fir ality of peas is, after the first sowing,to plant them deep and mulch them, 80 that the soil they root in is always cool and moist. Inthe careless manner in which peas are frequently cultivated, they have very little flavor and deli- cacy. It isso with raising what is called the snap-short beans. They are seldom planted deep enough, and as a consequence have no more flavor than a piece of India-rubber, and about as tough. But the beans planted in September, and in due time are for sale In our markets, are really delicious in flayor and fairly melt in the mouth. This is the result of cool soil. But were these beans planted three or four inches deep,as we have more than once suggested, throughout the season, and mulched in the hottest portion ot it, we could have, as with the peas, these vegetables at all times up to November in per- fection.— Germantown Telegraph. ForcinG APPLE TREES ON OrF YeARs.—Asa 8. Curtis, of Stratford, has tried an experiment in apple growing, the results of which will be of Interest to all those who ralse apples for their own use or the market. Having an orchard which produced fruit only on every other year and hearing that the trees could be made to change thelr bearing season so that every year might be fruitful, he selected a healthy young apple tree elght years ago and for four succes- ive bearing seasons carefully rubbed off every bud as fast as It appeared. For the first three seasons this made no apparent difference, the tree omitting all blossoms the next season, but putting out its blooms again on the regular ear, Last year Mr. Curtis ited the exper- ment for the fourth time, this season the tree a) to have given up its old habit and concluded to let its owner have his own way, tor it Is in fall bloom at last in the “off season.” Ifa part of the trees of an orchard can thus be made to bear one year and the others the next there need be no “off year” at ali for the apple crop.—Hartford Courant. Tue Wickep Lirrie SPaRrow.—This journal has distinctly demonstrated in several editorial papers during the past two or three years where the sparrow stands in ornithological classifica- tion, that his place is not, and never has been, among insect ingbirds. He is a finch, and therefore essentially a grain-feeding bird. Mr. Jonesby says he believes a sparrow would eat an insect provided you could convince him that some other bird wanted it; and, in con- firmation of this assertion, he says he once saw a blue-bird to appropriate a worm, but ho was driven off by two sparrows, who greedily and seized a short string instead of after a stubborn confilct, one of immediately swallowed it, the worm in the meantime making its exit into the ground.—Lancaster Farmer.

Mr. John Gladstone, says a writer in Temple Bar, liked that hig children should exercise their Judgment by stating the why and where- fore of every opinion they offered, and a college friend of William's, whe went on a visit to Fas- que, in Kincardineshire, during the summer of 1829, furnishes amusing plctures of the family customs in that house, “where the children and their parents argued upon everything.” “They would debate as to whether the troutshould be bolted or broiled, whether a window should be opened, and whether It, was likely to be fine or wet next day. 1t was’ always perfectly good humored, but curious to a stranger, because of the evident care which all the aisputants took to advance no propositions, even to the prospect of a rain, rashly. One day Thomas Gladstone knocked down a wasp with his handkerchief and was about to crush it on the table, when the father started the question as to whether he had the right to kill the Insect; and this point was discussed with as much seriousness as !f a human life had been at stake. When at last it was adjudged that death was deserved because it was a trespasser in the drawing-room, common enemy and a danger there, it was found that the insect had crawled from under the handkerchief, and was flying away with a eniggering sort of buzz as if to mock them all,” On another occasion William Gladstoneand his sister Mary disputed as to where a certain pic- ture oughtto be hung. An old Scotch servant came in with a ladder and stood irresolute while the‘argument progressed; but as. Miss Mary would not yield William gallantly ceased from speech, though unconvinced, of course. The servant then hung up the picture where the young lady ordered; but when he had done this he crossed the room and hammered a nail into the opposite wall. He was asked why he did this: “‘Aweel, Miss, that'll do to hang the pic- ture on when you have come roond to Master Willie’s opeenion.” The family generally did come round to Wil- liam’s opinion, for the resources of his tongzue- fencing were wonderful, and his father, who ad- | mired a clever feint as much as a straight thrust, never failed to encourage him by saying: “Hear, | hear: well said, well put, Willie,” if the young | debater bore himselt well in an encounter. An- other thing which Mr. John Gladstone taught hia children was to accomplish to the eid whatever they might begin, and no nfatter how Insignificant the undertaking might be. Assuming that the enterprise had been commenced witha deliberate, thoughtful purpose, it would obviously be weak- ness to abandon it, whereas if It had been en- tered upon without thought It would be useful to carry it through asa lesson against acting without reflection. The tenacity with which William Gladstone adhered to this principle ex- ercised no doubt a beneficial moral discipline ‘open himself, but was frequently very trying to his companions. “At Fasque,” says his friend already quoted, ‘‘we otten had archery practice, and the arrows that went wide the targets would Le lost In thelong grasa. Most of us would have liked to collect only the arrows that we could find without trouble, and then begin shooting again; but this was not William's way.
