BECKSS. After recess, a strong argument was made by Prof. Aley upon the necessity of a teacher being himself in the school room, and making bis owu specific applications of methods; showing that what the teacher gets from books and instructors, is only general,‘and that he must be master of the particular eonditious, needs and surroundiugs of his owu. school in order to adopt any particular method and make it a specific part ot bis work.

Institute convened at 1:30 p. m. with music by the choir. “History” was discussed by Prof. Fellows, showing that the dates of history are but secondary objects of the study.* Primary objects are the events considered with regard to the causes, the circumstances connected, and the sequence. ’fhe professor strongly argued that ■

the greater number of dates of history required^ to be memorized are superfluous, and tax. the memory unnecessarily. RECESS. After recess, the subject of “Read- j ing,” was taken up by Prof. Aley.

The Slagle Indian. An Indian who had been recently enlisted as a government scout and knew little of the duties and restraint expected of him became drunk and resisted the authority of the first sergeant of his company. He was lodged in the guardhouse and afterward arraigned before a garrison court martial. This is a minor military court, which has jurisdiction over trivial offenses only and can impose only slight punishments. The Indian knew nothing of this, nor did he know with what degree of seriouafoess his offense would be regarded. The nature of a plea was explained to him through an interpreter, and he entered a plea of “guilty.” He desired to introduce no testimony to establish extenuating circumstances. It was explained to him that he was privileged to address the court in his own behalf, and through the interpreter he made the following statement: “Last night, as I was passing from the Indian village to the scout’s camp, I found three bottles of whisky. I drank two of them. It made me very drunk. What I then did I do not know. “I love the white man. I wish to live as the white man lives and do as the white man does. If I have done wrong, I am ready to die.” The scout was fined $3 and lost his simplicity.—Youth's Companion.

Helping Him Oat. "By George! By George! But this is hard work.!” he muttered as he figured away with pencil and paper, while the roots of his hair were drowned in perspiration. “What Is it?” "How many cannon balls were fired during the late war, do you think?” “Tens of thousands” “I make i. exactly 853,458. How many men were killed by cannon halls?” “There is no record.” “But I’ve made a careful estimate, and I place the total number at 410. Can’t possibly lie over 10 out of the way. Just think of it—firing 853,488 cannon balls to kill 410 soldiers! More than 8,070 balls for each man!” “But what are you going to do about it?” was asked. “Do about it? Egad, but I’ve invented a baseball club 88 feet long, which I’m trying to get the war department to adopt, and these cannon ball figures will go a long ways in seeing me through I’ve struck it! They can’t get over this estimate. My war club’s good as adopted, and next week I begin to advertise for hickory timber and a sawmill!”—Detroit Free Press.

Every Man a Monopolist. ‘The pot U always calling the kettle black,” said T. J. Brown wood, a New York attorney. “This is particularly the case in regard to attacks on corporations, which are considered to be In good form and strictly justified by the conduct of these dangerous-institutions. 1 am interested in the electric light litigation, which bids fair to outlive the youngest of us, and hare been greatly amused at the way what is known as the Edison monopoly has been attacked by parties who are just as grasping in a small way as they blame the company for being in a large way. One of those institutions which baa been especially vigorous In its denunciation of the evils of monopoly in general and the incandescent monopoly in particular is at the present time the def sndant in a suit for ignoring state laws governing corporations. There is an old Scotch proverb which covers the case very accurately, and it would certainly he a blessing to humanity if it possessed some power to enable it to see itself as others see it. No one, of course, would like to defend monopoly on principle, but every man is a monopolist as far as opportunity enab’es him to be.”—St, Louis Globe-Democrat. Disinfectants and Disinfections. The term disinfectant is by the laity and to some extent by the medical profession greatly misused in being considered as synonymous with antiseptic and deodorant. Since science has so ably demonstrated the nature of the cantagium in infectious and contagious diseases, only such agents as are capable of destroying the cantagium are to he designated as disinfectants. An antiseptic retards or prevents the development and pollulation of, the organism, but the organism is not destroyed. A deodorant merely destroys odors, but does not necessarily hare any effect whatever upon the organism.—Dr. David Bevan in Science. An Oak Strangled by a Fir. A wonderful freak of- nature can be seen on the farm of Mr. J. D. Petrie, near Lorane, in Siuslaw precinct. Lane county. It consists of a fir tree which has grown entirely around a white oak tree. The fir tree is about ISO feet high and about 6 .feet in diameter 3 feet from the ground. The size of the oak tree is not known except where it projects from the fir, about seven feet from the ground, where it is 6 inches in I diameter. The oak is dead, having been strangled by the fir some time ago.—Portland Oregonian. * There is a 3-toed rhinoceros, believed to be hundreds of thousands cf years old. In the American Museum of Natural History. The relic, according to paleontologists who have read its history, is the only one of his herd who escaped mutilation by the crocodiles and alligators of his time wheahe was deposited after death in a lake which existed in Sooth Dakota near what Is now the Pine Ridge Indian reserntion. —PhilaA Bare Animal.
