It was manj* and many a year ago.
In a kingdom by the Ken,
That a maldeu lived, whom you may knov
WL By the name of Auuabel Lee :
And this maiden she lived with no othi
thought
Tban to love and be loved by me.
I was a cbilil, and she was a child.
lu this kingdom by the sea;
Bnt we loved with a love that was jpore tba
love,
. I and my Annabel Lee?
With a love that the winged seraphs c
heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was tbe reason that long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
So that bet high-born kinsmen came,
And bore her away froru me.
To shut her up in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not so happy in heaven,
Were envying her aud me,
Yes, that was the reasou (as all men know,)
. In this kingdom dowu tiy the sea,
That the wind came out of the cloud b;
I night,
I Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
fc Bat our love It was stronger by far than th
\ love
Of many far wlBer than we ;
And neither the angels' in heaven above,
. Nor tbe demons down under the sea,
"Can ever dissever my soul from tbe soul
Of tbe beautiful Annabel Lee.
For tbe moon never beams witbo'ut bringln
me dreams
Of tbe beautiful Annabel Lee.
And the stars never rise but I leel the brlgb
eyes
rir the Hoontf fnl Annflhpl Lrp.
And so, all the nightrtide I lie down by th
side
. Of my darling, my darliug, my life and m;
bride.
. In her sepulchre there by the sea.
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

R MethoilN.
P (By Miss Kitty Perrin.)
O. Stanley Hall, the great educator am
Sunday School worker describes Christian ed
bcatlon In words something like these: Ed
ucatton may be defined as "Righteous ange
at moral evil," Education mav be defined a
"Fear, fear of doing wrong." Education ma:
be defined as "Love, love ol what Is right.
If we feel Indignant at moral evil, fear to d<
.wrong and- love the right, the emotlona
"part of one nature has been educated, and w
all know that feeling is the basis of both tlx
'Intellect and will, and in young CDiinren iu
emotional is tbe Bide that Is firat developed
The process how to proceed, that this hlgl
attainment may he reached Is that which con
cerns uh as Sunday school teachers.
If we are teachers In the infant department
we must understand something or child na
Lture, the surroundings of tbe children tba
v come to as Sunday after Sunday. The grea
'Philosopher Paul has said, "When I was i
child, 1 t pake as a child, I understood as i
child, I thought as a child," and tbe leache
, that tonohes child life must be able to pn
aside her own grown up thoughts and teel
Ings, enter tbe child's world, and see fron
hit. point of view, speaks blu language am
thus enlarge tbe child's ideas, strengthen hi
morals and deepen his spiritual nature. No
every one has the proper endowment for thii
work.
A love of the Saviour, who took little chil
dren up in bis arms and blessed them, and i
sympathetic love for the child of whom ih<
Saviour said, "Suffer the little children t<
come unto me, and forbid tbem not" are nec
essary qualifications.
i We need our very best teaching ta'ent in tbi
L Infant department of our Sunday school, foj
> when tbecbild i? young it is then at the mos
Impressionable age. It is more Importan
that the mind and heart of a child has a rlgh
attitude towards spiritual things tbau auj
number of mere Biblical faota that we cat
teach him. Give tbe child new experiencei
by which he can enlarge his Inner life, re
memberlng that new knowledge must b<
Dased on old. L,ine is ids Key mat, uuiocki
the door to the mind of the chi d, because w<
only see things that correspond to oar innei
Hfe. Two people walklug lu tiue woods wll
not see the snaie things ; the rocks may ap
peal to one, the trees and flowers to another
L The cblld who has been taught to reverenct
God's word because through It his Heavenlj
Father speaks to htm gets very ditferen
truths from the cblld that his not been hc
taught.
We used to say "knowledge is power." J
Is not, unless It becomes part of the inner lifi
of the child. There are three methods usei
In Sunday school work The historical?tha
Is, taking up a character (say Paul,) ant:
getting all the truths that we can about him
pnywhere and everywhere lu the word o
God until we have a connected history of thi
man. This method Is not practical for llttli
children, for tbe child cannot grasp in tbel
connection with each other the incidents li
tbe history of a life.
The second method is studying, one boot
independent of what characters 11 treats of, o
doctrines.
This is often over tbe heads of our children
and we are talking to them lu an unknowi
language, with minds wandering as the rt
salt
Tue third method Is the kindergarten meth
v od. Divide your work up for tbe year int
topics that appeal to children, such as Cheei
^ fulness, Obedience, God's Loving Care, and li
song and story impress me me iuoukoi -">ud
day after Sunday, until each little heart shnl
renpond and feel that everything beautlfu
that come? into the life, every pleasure tha
touches thetn,?the trees, the flowers, th
birds, the sunshine, mother aud father, oil
friends, are given to us by oar Heavenly Fa
tber "who giveth us richly all things to en
joy." There are so many Bible stories tha
appeal directly to lit'le cnildreu, that tell o
this loving care,?Christ leedtug the multl
tude, not willing to seud them away hungry
Loving care bestowed by frleuds; when th
L friends of the paralytic man even tore off thi
J roof ofthe house and let the sick man down in
to the Blessed Presence, and how the Savlou
seeing their faith, and how much they care
bealed the man. Obedience Is a topic tha
appeals directly to child lite. The first stor:
we mlghttell under this topic is of "Xaaman'
Reluctant Obedience;" make the pictur
^ vivid to the child. Every child love to tall
of soldiers. Introduce your topic by asking
"If a company of soldiers Is told to halt, wha
will the company do?" Some briuht chili
will tell you. If to march forwcrd, what
I Let them understand that this is obedience
but Captain Kaaman, though he bad been a
the head of an army, and his soldiers had ti
obey bis every word, did not want to b
obedient to God's Prophet when he told bin
to get cured he must dip himself seven time
in the river Jordan, but he was not ueuiei
until he obeyed perfectly.
The next Kundsy give come example c
p-rfect obedience. Tell of Noah; how obedl
eiit be was to God's command la building th
ark, and bow God rewarded him for it. Brln
I out the contrast lu the next lesson. Tell ti
God's disobedient children, Adam and Ev<
Picture thegardtn as beautifully as you cat
bow much care God had taken In preparing i
home for his first children, aud the si m pi
thing be asked of them, so simple that
I child need not have disobeyed. Theentranc
oI sin Into this beautiful garden?Eve lister
I Ing to and talking with Satau. Make th
M child teel the dreadlulness of the sin of du
' obedience.
As soon as a child is conscious ol sin th
great plan of salvation can be taught hin
those spiritual truths that make the Hibles
different from other hooks,?Man's fall,Ian
redemption through Christ's atonement fc
gin. Every lesson, if possible should brin
out these all important facts, I would like t
lay special emphasis on this Topical plan <
work because so much of our teaching go<
for nought and for the simple reason tin
we do not. get ttie point of contact with tt
child. Psychology proves that it is an in
possibility to teach an Isolated fact, l.et uj
illustrate:
zv lew weeks ago I visited a colored Hnnda
Hcnool lu Atlauta taught by members of tl
Centra! Presbyterian church? one of il
missions. J was asked to teach a class of boy
( axe a?>out twelve. mesuigeci 01 me icmmj
wftH "Haul Chosen King."
To try to get the poiut of contact, realizli
that I must find something in the mind
the child to base new knowlenge on, I askt
if any ijoy Knew what a King whs, tht
showed me by their faces that they had n
1 the slightest conception. I then asked aboi
the President, they auswered no, then ti
G >vernor, their faces were a blank, but wh(
lacked them about a policemau every b<
there held up his hand. 1 had gotten n
point ol contact. I now showed "them

and by pictures which 1 showed.

I pretty good Idea of a King. You see the j
pllcatlou. In teaching my Ktndcpgarl
class I huve h central thought, which I w
-r to impress ; I embody It In story form ; a
leave the story to do Its own moralizing
ing careful In my Introduotlon to ?et I
point of contact because'It not only catel
the chllds attention but it gives him . an i
portiinlty to express himself. Suppose
n example I was Kotng to tell the story to sm
children of "Joseph anil tils uretlireti."
would take for my central thought, I*erfi
>1 obedience to parents, even when to obey
not easy. Those brethren hail not been vt
klud to Joseph yet when his father wanted

"Here am I "
My point ol contact would be brothers, a
I would ask the children: how many of y
have brothers at home? Would you like

will see the chairs arranged in a circle,a
why? Because the Kiuaergnrtner wants

It is wonderful it you cm) smile right in

how quickly he will respond to this love a

number of gallons to paint the same house, i
Is, He had 7 gallons left. (
The point of the tule Is: 11 gallons Devoe
H- paints an Is gallon house.
Of course, that isn't nil.
a Why does 11 gallons Devoe go as fur as IS

Destroying: Rormndn Grass. n
Southern Cultivator.
Wheu you advise our sandy land
fanners to set out .Bermuda grass, I
will have to protest. I have been used
to it all ray life and consider it the
greatest pest in the world. I know '
of no way to destroy its efccept to dig it
11 r> with a hoe and earrv it out in has- ?
kets and burn it. You say you can
destroy it by deep plowing. My experience
is, the deeper you break it,
the deeper the roots penetrate and the
firmer hold it gets. If you know of
any way to get rid of it you will confer
a great favor by telling us how. I
have forty or fifty acres of very good
laud, some of it extra good, that I
will let any mau have rent free for -three
years, who will destroy the ii(
Bermuda on it. And I will furnish Hi
him a good house to live in with lots \J[
of cribs, etc., and all other necessary u
conveniences that a renter ordinarily
needs. Yes, sir, it is a good thing in ?}
its place, but the trouble is, you can't m
keep it from getting scattered. Nor M
can you destroy it without putting p(
yourself to more trouble and expeuse m
than the land is worth. I had rather Be
go into the woods and clear up new jj
grouud than to undertake to destroy cH
it. If we onlyj had some kind of
clover or other grass that would choke
it out. Summer plowing and harrow- b<
ing, also winter breaking will destroy A|
some of it. But our winters are not JJ,
quite severe enough and we only scat- pi
ter it the more. So, Mr. Editor, if you
know of anything that will choke it y]
out or any method whereby it can be su
sent to kingdom come, please let us ('c
know. . Itespectfully, SJ'
E. T. SHELTON. Pr
Answer?We have no personal Ce
knowledge of the habits of Bermuda
grass in Texas. But have quite a long k<
and intimate acquaintance with it in
Georgia. We once thought like our p[
Texas friend that it could not be de- v.
stroyed, but have long since learned
hotter Wm Imvfi ilpstrnvfiil if. bv .??
plowing and harrowing in August in Ht
a dry year aud iu December iu a cold Kf
winter, but the surest and best way is yc
to shade it out by growing heavy crop He
of oats followed, by peas, repeatedly, O"
It may take longer in Texas than in J$
Georgia, but feel pretty sure it will ,?
succeed.
One thing iu favor of this plan is
that it does not cost anything to try it.
The oats and pea vines will not only
pay expenses, but make a good profit
and improve the laud.
Clean cultured crops like cotton aud
corn will sometimes kill it out, but not
always..
We never had any trouble getting
rid of Bermuda, by using good twohorse
turners and harrows, but the
sbading plan is sure aud profitable.
We do not see why our friend is
anxious to get it destroyed, if properly
cared for the hay will bring much
more money than cotton or corn on
the name land.
Again we know that Bermuda grass
improves the soil. Some of the best
cotton and corn we ever saw grow,
l?rew in Bermuda fields. After these
crops were gathered the Bermuda
yielded a fine cutting of hay or made
a splendid winter pasture.

EinpliaNlze Sex DlMtluctionw.
By President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
University, Worcester, Mass.
The school and all institutions
should push sex distinction to its ut- ^
most. Make boys more manly and "
girls more womanly. Do not forget
that motherhood is a very difletent j
thing from fatherhood. T
One bad effect of co-education in J}
girlw is seen in all statistical studies, l
which show that their ideals are not \
found among noble women, but iu f\
men. About eighteeu out of a hun- A
dretl college girls even go so fai as to '
state that they would rather be men
than women, and more than one-half i
choose man ideals. This suggested to \
a recent writer that unless there was a 9\
chauge we would soon have a female /
sex without a female character. \
