PUBLISHED EVERY TIHURSDAY AT Ni'WBERR Y, S. C. TEACHERS' DiEPARTMPNT. A. S. SCHEETZ, EI>ITOR. A few days ago a little girl in the preparation of her gcograpliy lesson caie across the question, "Are the boundaries of Italy mainly natural or artificial?" Not understanding the language of the question, she asked us for an answer. This incident suggested s9me reflections on the different meth ods of instruction pursued by teachers. Some would have answered this ques tion in one word, and the pupil, if not ofan inquiring mind, would have gone away satisfied. But of what intrinsic value would such an answer have been to the child? If the growth of knowl edge is conditional in the increase of ideas and thoughts, nothing would have been gained. But is not much of our teaching of just this nature? Are we not too often content with teaching words merely, instead of ideas? Sup pose in a case like the above, the teacher were, by a few well-directed questions and illustrations, to make clear to the pupil's mind the distinction between the terms natural and artificial, the difficulty of the question would at once vanish. But some teacher will perhaps say that such a course is impracticable because of the lack of time. It must be confessed that apparently this is often true. But really, would it not be better to have shorter lessons and more thorough instruction than long lessons imperfectly understood by the pupil. It is a well established truth that in order to remember for a long time any par ticular fact it must be clearly under stood and thoroughly grasped by the mind. Half studied or half under stood lessons will soon be forgotten. Thence it would be much better to un dertake less and teach thoroughly what is undertaken. It would result in a more healthy development of mind, and especially of the understanding, a faculty too much ignored in our system of teaching. To Find on What Day of the Week Any Date Occurred. By means of the following ratios and rule it can easily be ascertained on what day of the week any date between the year one and three thousand oc curred or will occur.

A Teacher's WVeakness. [Central School Journal.] Nothing c-an be more unwiso than for a teacher to fly into a passion in the pa .sence of his pupils. Such folly is disastrous to good governnment, and nearly always endls in mortification and self-abasemient to the teacher, who is deserving of all the humiliation he thus brings uipon himself. The follow ing laughable incident describes the embarrassing position in which a teach er placed himself by not bridling his tongue when he should have done so : "I left my pencil lying on my desk a moment ago," said an irritable teach er in one of our city schools. "I cannot find it nowv." Nothing was said by the pupils. "I am very sure I left it right here, said the teacher, hastily turning over the books and papers on his desk. "Perhaps it is in one of your desk drawvers," suggeste~d a pupil. All the drawers are pulled out angrily. "No, it isn't here; I knew it wasn't. I left it right on this desk just before this (lass camec up to recite," was the frown ing reply. in wvhich was conveyed the delicate insinuation lhat some1 member of the class had takeni the pencil. Tlhe teacher searches again all his pockets and .ssshry, "'l'm positive that sonme one in this roomi knows wh'lere that pencil is. I want~ it returned to this desk inmmedi No one mnoves.. I will have that pe'ncil again, if I have to search every' desk ini this roorn, Have you got it. H arry Johnson?'' Recauise Harry Johnson was the most mnisch ievous b oy ini school was a psoor excuse for the teacher's accusing ques tion, and it was little wvonder t he hoy angrily replied, "No sir; I haven't." "WVell, sonme one has, and that's all there is about it; and it has been deliber ately stolen fromi this desk,"' At that moment a grinning little urchin held up his hand. "Ilf you please, teacher, the pencil is sticking behind your ear." But the teacher lost that day what he could never rind agzain-the respect of his pumils a\TIDOTES FOR SNAKE BITES. Interesting~Experiments at the Smithson ian Institution. [New York Herald.] For a number of months past the scientists of the Smithsonian Institution have been experimenting with anti dotes for poisonous snake bites. Mr. Edmund S. Rheen, who has charge of the experiments, believes that the mys tery has at last been solve(. Jaborandi is the drug which has thus far been used with great success upon animals, par ticularly guinea pigs, rabbits and chick ens. The venom is obtained by placing a bit of cotton upon the end of a stick and irritating the snake until it strikes the cotton and leaves its venom there. The cotton is then placed in a small vessel containing glycerine and when thoroughly saturated the cotton is squeezed dry and the liquid retained. Fifteen drops of this liquid, which have been found to be equal to four drops of pure poison, are hypodermically ad ministered to the subject. In the ma jority of cases this is immediately fol lowed by a similar injection of jaboran di, although the latter has been. found to be equally efficacious when a lapse of five minutes occurs. The most poisonous reptile known to American scientists is the rattlesnake. It is with this animal that all the recent experiments have been made. A letter was. recently received at the institute from a New York gentleman who offers to furnish a certain amount of venom from the cobra-d--capello. The officials have written their acceptance of the offer and are now awaiting its receipt. The strength of these poisons is not apparently diminished by the lapse of time. Mr. Rheem says the records of the institute show that venom which has been retained twenty years is quite as deadly in its effects when applied as if fresh from the snake. Mr. Rheem tells a remarkable story about a hen at the institute which had been inoculated with rattlesnake poison six different times. After the third inoculation it became venom-proof, and in the recent experinents it has not been found nec essary to apply the antidote. The hen, Mr. Rheei says, is apparently as well as ever. She lays an egg each day, which the janitor of the building eats with his breakfast. The next experiments will be with pigs and larger animals. Should these prove successful the offer of an Ohio man to present himself as a subject will then be considered. Mr. Rheem says the Smithsonian col lection of reptiles numbers 42,000. It embraces every variety of reptile except the hoopsnake. Thus far none of these have been secured, and their existence is believed to be a myth. Colonel Toni Ochiltree, of Texas, but more recently of New York, has a letter on file, writ ten four years ago, in which that gen tlemnau relates that the hoopsnake has an ::xistence, which is proven by the following incident, the correctness of which Colonel Ochiltree affirms. The colonel says:' "A few weeks prior to the writing of this letter a negro in Central Texas was chased by a hoopsnake. The negrc was mounted on a mule. He saw that he would be overtaken, whereupon he dismounted and sought shelter behind a large cypress tree. The snake uncoiled and threw itself against the tree, bury. ing the poisoned prong at the end of the tail so deeply into the wood that it could not intricate itself. A splinter from the tree struck the mule and killed it. Next day the tree, which had been several feet in circumference, had shrivelled to the size of a sapling." A Man of Renown. That the names of some men who dell in the utmost obscurity may be come universally known is shown by the following incident: Two gentlemen once found them selves traveling together in the corner of a Pullman. One was a stranger in that part of the country; the other ap peared to be well acquainted with every district passed through. "You appear to know the county p)ret ty well, sir?" queried the stranger. "Yes, I (10," replied the other; "miy name is a household world throughout the district." The stranger became curious at once. "You're mayor of a large town per haps?" "Giovernor, theni?' "No." "Member of C'ongress?" "No." "A director of this railwvay, perhaps?' "No." "Well." said the stranger, impatient ly, "who in creation are you, then?" "I'm John Smith," wvas the calm reply. -_ _ _ A Bluzzard in the Spring. ( CAO, May 4.-A violent storm is raging over a large territory in the Northwest. Many points are cut off from telegraphic communication. At St. Paul there was considerable snow fall this morning. The temperature sud denly dropped to freezing point this morning at that city and at Bismnarck~ anl Fort Sully. A northwester is blowing here and indications are that tle thermometer wvill reach the freezing pit by to-morrowv morning. In the last t wenty-four hours there have fallei at LaCrosse almost two inches of raill at Davenport about the same amount and at Alpe'na. Mich., something over le inich. Matthew Arnold died without warn ig, of heart disease. It is curious in this connection to note a desire express ed byv Mr. Arnold in onie of his poems, in which these lines occur: Spar me the whispering, c-rowded room,i The friends who come, andi gape andi The cerem'1fonious air of gloom All which miakes death a hideous Nor bring~ to se me cease to Jive, Som)ie doctor full of phmraLse and fame.

Bismarck on Horseback. [N. Y. Sun.] Li BERLIN April 29.-The manofinnu- a merable surprises, Prince Bismarek, knocked the predictions of the doctors A and the traditions of age edgeways to day by mounting a long legged roan mare, that tried to jurnp over every A house in sight, and riding her at break neck pace out to Charlottenhurg and back. Less than a week ago the phy- A sicians forbade his mounting a horse again, and the Chancellor renounced A riding forever with a pathetic homily on the punishments of advancing years. The newspaI>ers recalled his splendid feats of horsemanship, even up to his seventy-second year and dropped a journalist's tear over the end A of Bismarck's riding. All this having been accepted as a fact and due misery having been felt, Prince Bismarek this A morning mounted the most fiery horse in his stable and galloped nearly all the A way to (harlottenburg. On his way back his reception was wonderfully warm. People waited in crowds numbering thousands at street corners and in the park and cheered the veteran to the echo. He was vio lently red, but in a state of beaming good nature. -ee+ A Did Not Know the Man. [From the St. Louis Republican.] The Hon. 'James V. Jolmson, at present State Senator from the country s between the rivers, and prospective candidate for Congress, who is conl- A monly known as the "silver-tongued T orator," was once a delegate to a )em ocratic Congressional convention in A Mount Sterling, says the Transcript. The programme was interspersed with : speeches. Several prominent poli ticians had been called and told their love for the "dear old party." No one had called for ''J. W. Johnson!" and * that personage became nervous. At last he circulated around the room and gave several boys a nickel each with the request that they call for "J. W. Johnson, of Pike." As soon as the :, next speaker left the stand the gamin raised a yell for: "J. W'. Johnson!'' "J. W. Johnson!" The cry was taken up by a hundred voices and Mr. Johnson, smilingly, - commenced his speech. But the boys kept up a yell for J. W. Johnson!" J. W. Johnson!" "Stop that racket," said a hystander, "That's Johnson now." " What'er ye givin' us," replied the boy, "That's the feller what give us a nickel to holler fur J. WV. Johnson." Honors Heaped on Sehur. U ' BERLIN, May 4.-Carl Sehurz dined v this evening at the residence of Prince a Bismarek. Among the invited guests b were Count Von Stolberg-Wernigerode a and Count Doenhof, of Friedrichstein. An Octogenarain Occasion. F C Solornon Sapp, eighty-three years old, and Mrs. Tfhoma~s Stevens, seventy- d five years old, both early settlers of e Bureau county, Ill., were married re ently at Princeton, by the Rev. 0. A.n Walker, who is eighty-four years old. E WVatermtelous~ are in the market ini South Florida, andj peaches are ripen ing rapidly. Bismnarek has declinedt the title of I Duke on the ground that he is not in a t position to supplort the dignity. The estate of the lae Walter M1. Gib son, Prince Minister of Hawaii, is esti- i mated to be worth nv>re than $1,000),000. Queen Victoria is the first English reigning sovereign who laa visited Florence since the time of the Crusade, when Richard 1, passed trough the city. The surplus, as estimated at the Trea sury IDepartnment, is now 8105,000,000J. a The Secretary of the Treasury has issu- v ed an off'er to buy Government bonds until further notice. The right is reserv- c ed, however, to reject any andl all a proposals for the sale of, bonds if it is S thought to be for the interest of the Government to do so. Capt. C. E. Dutton of the Unite I States Geological Survey expects to I have his history on the Charleston earthquake ready for the printer by June 1. The work will be very com plete, according to Science which jour-4 nal says: "Besides the observations made by professors in several colleges, by hundreds of railroad officials and at signal stations, hun.dreds of intelligent private citizens have reported their own experiences, giving to Cars. Dutton a mass of data such as has not oefore been collected in regardl to a dozen earth quakes."
