OEOGHAPHY.
ThiB is pre eminently the age of pro
gress in thc matter of school teaching
and school-work. Thirty years ago, in
this country, children were taught geog
raphy niter the old plan so well known
to our parents-the plan that gave many
of them such a distaste and in sumo in
stances such a perfect antipathy against
that beautiful and useful science. We
trus'. our teachers havo not all thrown
thoir text-books aside to be covered with
<'u?t during thc long Summer months.
They expect to tench ?gain. Let them
be wide awake. And let ninny moments,
that might bc otherwise unprofitably
spout, be gi von lo accumulating ammu
nition and arranging your plans for the
next battle with ignorance. During this
long recess, use your field glass, get your
position, raise your fortifications, and bc
?ure that nothing is wanting when the
campaign opens. You have an advanced
class in geography next session. What
are you going to do with that class ? Are
you prepared to teach them ail they arc
prepared to be taught '! If so, you aro a
happy teacher, and fortunuto are your
patrons and pupils. You want to teach
your class something about .South Caro
lina. You know a great deal about that
State; you Hatter yourself, at least, that
you do, ?ince you have utudicd it so
much. Well, how do you propose to
tench it-after thc samo old pluus your
teachers followed? My friend, if you
do, you arc asleep, you aro a fossil : ask
some friend to get you by tho shouldets
and back you up into a corner and shake
tho very lifo out of you. Wo lake it for
granted that you mean progress, that you
aro wide awake. Then hero is a model
division or arrangement of your geogra
phy lesson :
1. Boundaries.
2. Coast lines (general description of
boys, capes, etc.)
3. Draw it ou black-bunrd~
4. Description of surface,
(a.) Give general slope.
(b.) Mountain systoins and ranges.
(c.) Rivers (length, directiuu, falls, ex
tout of country they dr.in, navigable or
not).
5. Soil (different kinds, and, if possi
ble, what fertilizers aro best suited to
each).
G. Climate.^
7. Productions.
8. Occupations aud characteristics of
inhabitants.
9. Cities (location, size, importance,
whether metropolis or capital).
10. Brief historical sketch, principal
battles fought iu Revolutionary War,
and tho prominent part she played iu
the lost war.
Follow this plan if you have no better
one. HUYO some system about your
plans. Study the best plan for making
tho most lasting impression on thc minds
of your pupils.
IHDUBTBIAL SCHOOLS.
Th Atlanta Constitution speaks of in
dustrial training in that city as no lunger
a dream but au actuul reality. "In our
industrial school," saya the Constitution,
"a boy is not permitted to becomo a
specialist.. Uo is instructed iu all the
principles that underlio both classes of
work. In a measure, he must learn how
to work in both wood and iron. He
must learn how to do mechanical draw?
lng. Tho arithmetical problems of both
trades aro parts of his lessons. Tuero is
but one way lo hold a hammer, or any
other tool ; this ia taught. How to
sharpen and caro for tools, aud how to
make them, are all practiced. What ia
the result? There are bright boys iu the
school in Marietta street, who, in tin
opinion of those qualified to speak, ure
competent to earn in our shops tho wages
of mechanics, although they havo beon
in school only three months." If schools
of thia kind preparo boys and young
' mon for earning a livelihood by tho hon
est exercise of bolh brain and muscle, it
isa pity .that there ia.not ono iu every
town in the land. Many young men,
now lying around loose "waitlug for a
job," might, in a short time, bo prepared
for doing such work as thoy are now in
- capable of doing. The sooner the ldlo
young men of the large towns and small
villages wake themselves up to the im
portance of exercising their brains and
developing their muscles in dead earnest,
the better it will be for them, and tho
bolter for the country. That ambition
which roaches its goal in a position be
hind the counter iu some retail Blore Is
getting to bo too common. There are
other fields for usefulness and other
channels to success. That pride which
would remove one from that sphere of
labor fdr which nature Intended him and
for.which oho specially endowed him, ia
born in sin and is itself tho. father of un
. told mischief. How many a father has
. blighted tho prospects and marred the
happiness of! his son by attempting to
mako a lawyer out of what might have
been a successful, happy aud honorable
farmer ! Many lawyers, doctors and
preachers go maimed through Ufo, doing
but little good fer themselves and abso
lutely nothing for humanity, si inply be
canse they are working at the ?rrong an
vil and striking will- 01? wrong hammer.
Bat we find we baye strayed from the
line of thought intended when we com
: men ced writing. Let it go, however. It
; U not probable that too much will be
said or written against the foolish idea
that ft young man must leave his honest
but humble home in the country to seek
foxtnn'? and fame in towns end cities.
Moro on thia nubject hereafter.
U??DER THE KODE. "
Tho expr?salo?? "under tho roso," took
origil* from ibo war? between the
yttaeic of York and Lancaster. Tho
partieu reapcotively swore by tho red or

action was Raid to be done "under tho
rose ;" by which expression the most
profound secrecy was implied. Accord
mg to oilier.', litis term originated in thc
fable of Cupid giving the rose to H a rpo I
crates, thc god ot silence, as a bribe to
prevent him betraying thc amours of
Venus, nod was hence adopted as ibo
emblem of silence. The rose was for
this reason frequently sculptured on tho
ceilings of drinking and feasting rooms,
as a warning to the guests that what was
said in moments of conviviality should
not bo ropcated ; from which, what was
intended to bo kept secret was said lo be
held "under tho rose." Hoses were con
secrated UH presents from the Pope. In
1G2C they were placed over confessionals,
as the symbols of secrecy. Hence, ac
cording lo some, the origin of the phrase.

BUOTHEIl JONATHAN.
The origin of this term, HS applied lo
the United States, is as follows : When
General vVnshiugton, after being ap
pointed commander of the army of tho
revolutionary war, went to Massachusetts
lo organi/e it, he found a great want of
ammunition and. other mi nns for its de
fence ; and on one occasion it seemed
thal no means could he devised for the
necessary safety. Jonathan Trumbull,
the elder, was then Governor of the I
State of Connecticut ; and the General, I
placing thc ?rente->l reliance on Iiis ex
cellency's judgment, remarked, "We
must consult Brother Jonathan on the
subject." Tho General did so; and the I
Governor was successful in supplying
many of the wants of the army : ami
thenceforth, when difficulties arose, and j
thc army was spread over the country, it I
became a by-phrase. "Wo must consult j
Brother Jonathan ;" and the name has I
now bre?me a designation !<>r thc whole
country, as .lohn Hull lias lor England.

CAM the World Afford lo be Honest ? I
Patton Hangle became disgusted with
thc untruthfulness of mankind, and I ,
preached a vigorous seimon in denuncia- I ,
lion of society falsehood. Ho declared I
that lies told out of politeness were just
as wicked a.- those told with the deliber
ate intention ol deceiving, In fact, J,
thcKo society lies pot folks in the habit of ,
lying, and they readily pick up the other ,
kind. The sermon made a great impress I |
ion. Many of thc congregation resolved J
lo reform. Coming out of the church, I ,
Deacon Jones said lo Judge Badger, who ,
Hits in front of him :
"Judge, I hopo you didn't mind my I
putting my feet under your pew?" ,
The Judge was about to reidy, "Oh, ,
certainly not;"' hut he thought of the [
sermon and answered : I
"I did, though, your old hoofs tool: up ,
all the room and were n fearful uni- _
sauce." j i
"Well," said the deacon, "the hair oil (
you use smells so, it nearly forced us to I ,
leave tho pew." ,
They glared nt each other, and just j j
then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jinkins came I ,
along. Miss Jinkins had asked, "How I ,
do you like my new bonnet?" "Oh, I
thought it just love-" replied Mrs. B., L
and then B?IO thought of thu sermon, I ,
"No, I didn't either. It is a horrid ,
thing. I wouldn't be Heeu with it." ,
And Miss Jinkins got mad and replied, I ,
"Well, if I wero you, I'd not wear dirty j,
stockings to church ; mid if I did, I'd |
keep 'em out of sight." I j
While these honest conversations wero |
going on, Mrs. Smith had said to lier ,
next door neighbor, Mr. Williams, "I |
linne the crying of our baby last night
didn't disturb you ?" And Williams re- L
plied, "No-thal is-yes, I wanted to ?
brain thc brat." And then Mrs. Smith l(
called him a wretch, and wept. j j
Then thc clergyman carno out and ?
and asked young Symonds how he liked I ;
tho sermon. Symonds said, "It was a j
grand cf-er-ob, parson, it was blamed I,
nonsense " "Sir?" Haid tho parson, nnd (
ho drew himself up indignantly. Just
then, Smith and Williams, alter telling ,
each other tho truth, clinched, nnd Dea ,
cnn Jones was trying to hold Miss Smith ,
from scratching Mr. Badger. It took I t
tremendous efforts to stop the rows and
prevent a scandal, and, as it was, every- I (
body went away mad with everybody (
else. The parson wont home and tuedi- t
tated in a gloomy frame of mind for .
three, hours, and finally concluded that
society lyitig was wicked ; but ho would (
not preach agaiunt il again. It's alto- ,
gcther too handy n sin to he given up. j ?
Working In Gloss. I \
Mr. Theodore Weuzol, of Walhalla, t
has recently purchased in Swain County, c
N. C.. just across tho Slate line from Oco- I
nee County, a tract of (?0,000 acres of i i
laud, upon which he proposos tho cree- t
lion of an immouso establishment for the
manufacture nf faucy Bavnrinn grasa-lt
ware, an industry altogether new iu this t
country. Mr. Wenzel endeavored to t
obtain lund in this State for the location I i
of this factory, but says that he was un- 11
ablo to secure tho title to so large a tract. 11
Mr. Wenzel has been in Charleston for 1t
(several days with n view to making ar- I i
rangements for immediately commencing I d
the work upon the factory buildings. I e
Tho contract will probably fail into I c
Charleston hands, and the buildings will I r.
bo up by tho Fall. So soon as au pre- 11
liminaries shall have boen arranged, Mr. I
Wenzel intends leaving for Europe to
secure skilled workers in glass from the
factories of Bavaria and Austria, whom
bo will bring to Walhalla and Swain I r
County for tho purpoao of instructing I j
American workers as lo the mysteries v
aud intricacies of Bavarian glass work- I c
lug. Mr. Wenzel says that an establish- .
ment of tho kind ho intends operating 1 j,
clots not, so far as he is aware, exist iu I a
this country, for ho baa travelled far and y
wide in the hope of discovering one, but I (
has failed to do so. He further states 11
that in no part of tho world eau inore ?
delicate flint for tho manufacture of this I ?
elegant glass ware be found than in the I 0
northwestern part of this State, all Moue 11.

An Angry Judge. j j!
Tho late Chief Justice Bigelow, of I g
Massachusetts, was naturally bot temper- j c
sd, but OD one occasion was brought to 0
bbl bearings in a wny as effective as it I j,
was amusing. He was riding in a car a
which did not stop nt Quincy, where bo I "
resided, and, ns it was passing by, he I n
polled the rope nnd the train was brought ! ?
to a sudden atop. ~ Tbs conductor rushed I j
into the car nnd demanded, "Who rang I r
that boll? "I did," said tho Chief h
Ju.it ice. "Why?" "Because I wanted <\
to get off ;" nt which the railroad official I B
indulged in some remarks wbicb were 11
not complimentary and hardly respectful, I .
Tho Judge afterward complained to the I
President of tho Road, who promised to j
look into .tho matter. But bc found that. I J
although the conductor might have used I
bot language, the Chief Justice waa not I c
without fault and said nothing about it.
When they'next .met by .chance? the | j
latter demanded of Ibe President whether I j
he had reprimanded tho conductor. "1 1
spoke to bim."* Waa the reply. "Well, M
what did ho say?" "Ho said that ho j
was coming up some day to adjourn your I.
Court." Tho i ralo magistrate ?aw, the j J

It has been Hcveral times suggested by
economists that newspapers Can be made
lo lake the place of blankets in guarding
from cold, and it is a fact wei! worthy of
notice that they have been proved very
satisfactory ill making light, convenient,
ami warm Ind coverings when others can
not be had. Travelers would do well lo
bear this in mind when far (rom thc
region of lintel*, and not throw their
paper out o? the car window, ol leave il
nu their nest in changing cars, for there
is no lolling how useful It may provo in
some emergency to ward oil" cold. As a
preventive ol that fatal disease, pneu
monia, a folded newspaper laid beneath
(ho outer clothing across the chest is said
to be infallible.
This lian heetl confirmed to the writer
by the testimony of an individual whose
avocations kept him constantly exposed
to all weathers, night and day. Ho was
a resident of a country village, a perfect
typo of a hearty, strong, vigorous man,
and he accounted for his robust health,
notwithstanding his exposures, by saying
Ilia', although inheriting consumptive
tendencies, lis liad been able to resist
them through the simple precaution of
always wearing a newspaper folded over
his ell ont under Iiis coat.
AH a preventive ol cold feel, a pitee of
newspaper folded in the sole is quite
iqwal to, if not HO ?leganl or KO expen

light, soil, and easily renewed.
If you widi to test the power ol' a
newspaper in excluding cold, Iry tacking

nicely they will be protected, and how
frosty thu window will consequently be.

<cvere black frosts como on, effectually

The writer remembers once driving up

According tn the opinion commonly 1

J. G. Holland wrote in Mrs. Hayes'
album these words: "Women only can
make wine drinking unfashionable and
beul the nation of this curse."
What did Dr. Holland mean by
"women only?'' Is it true that only
women can make wine drinking unfash
ionable and heal the nation of this
curse." You nnd I need to know this
first, because iT only we women can do
titi? thing, why it is an awful responsi
bility upon us-each one of us. And if
somebody ehe can do it, we, like all
the others, would like lo give that some
body else the job. Five years ago, at
Washington, Mrs. Hays became mistress
of the White House, and it was for her,
and no one else, to say what thc social
atmosphere should he which surrounded
her guesl*, and how they should bo en
tertained at her house. Well, she did an
unheard of thing. .She banished wine
from all her entertainments, with just
one exception. Secretary Evarts made
a fi i HB. He was mortified. He could not
enduro lo have Lord and Lady English,
Count and Countess French, Huron and
iiaromss German, come to the White
House dinners aud have nothing flt for
them td drink-not a drop of poison ?
It waa too utterly queer! So .Mrs.
Hayes made ono exception in favor of
those great foreign highnesses, nnd
allowed wine upon her table in their
presence. Hut only for once. Her con
science-high souled woman that she is I
- smote her for that one little cowardly
compromise with wrong. She could
better endure to have Secretary Evnrls
and the Smiths ashamed of her than tn
be ashamed of herself. So she quietly
and forever after prohibited wine from
her table, and cheerfully endured the
liftod eyebrows and shrugged shoulders
of tho diplomatics, British, French,
Russian -all, and the little shortlived
hiss of "fashionable" society, until thnt
hiss turned to a cheer, and fashionable
society turned around, like the spaniel it
li, and trotted behind its mistress. It
became unfashionable to serve wine and
to rifler w ine in fashionable society while
Mrs. Hayes was in the White. House.
What Mrs. Hayes did in tba White
House every woman can do in her own
home, if she wiii. If the girls who read
these words will each ?if them, all to
gether, use their influence on the side of
temperance, they can make temperance
fashionable. Will you do it?
Gen. Grant does n manly thing in re
fusing to drink wine everywhere and in
all Hoeiety. It is ;?nly a strong man who
can keep his wine-glass upside down - in
this case right side up, too!-while ?ll
the grand people around him are sipping
champagne and toasting each other in
sparkling drinks. No one can tell bow
"far this little candle sheds ita light."
Hut no man can do for a fashion in
society what a woman eau. It i* women
only, "ns Dr. Holland said.
I wish some strong, bright angel stood
before you just now whilo you read,
girls, to flash before you, as no works of
mine can. thc power you possess lo help I
or to hinder the caine of temperance ; to
make you feel your responsibility, be
cause you are girls, in this matter; to
shudder at its weight, and to never cease
trying to fulfill it ! Doubtless you have
heard a grenl deal about the vulue of
your smiles ; but do you know the vnluo
of your frowns. I wish I could make
you feel the value of your frown and
tho importance of knowing just what to
frown upon. What a man must do by a
blow a woman can do by a frown. Wheo
the time comes that the young man who
n"W shares his time in your society and
tho saloon-who jokes about temperance
in your presence, and takes a glass,
eocially, now and then, is made lo feel
that these things cannot be if you are to
be his companion at party, ride or church ;
that good society can not tolerate theso
things in ita members-in short, that
this kind of man is unfashionable and
unpopular, then alcohol will tremble on
its throne, and the liquor traffic will bide
its cancerous face.
A Curions (Jamo of Clinuro.
Dropping into the private office of a
big firm of brokers recently I found the
principals, together with a number of
friends absorbed in a curious game of
chance. On thc table round which the
players were gathered there was a small
oblong box. A railing ran around tho
edges and tho lid wat punctured with
holes. Four lumps of sugar, numbered
from one to four, were laid on this box,
and thc players watched them sedu
lously.
Hy and by a cockroach emerged from
one of the boles and ciawled up the
lump of sugar marked number two. In
stantly one of the observers scooped a
sum of money from off tho table. He
bad bet on number two, and these were
his winnings.
I watched thc curious game for an
hour, during which a good deal of cash
changed hands, and not a word was ut
tered. A certain cockroach which lost
to one player nearly $200 was inconti
nently assassinated by the unfortunate
broker, who crucified it with a penknife.
"Is this game popular nil ?long the
street ?" I asked of one of tho gamblers.;
"It is only played at two.or tnrjpe offi
ces. In the Summer we hah flies) in the
winter cock-roaches hnvo to Le utilized.
You see it's perfectly fair, because liie
hug acts independently and impartially."
