If the pupil evidently fails toundersaud thethought, repeat it in other language, and if pos sible with greater simplicity. 7. Help out the meaning of the words by all available illus trations, prefering pictures and natural objects for young chil dren. 8. When it is necessary to ; teach a new word, give the idea before the word. This is the or der of nature. . r 1 i il. :i i j. cseeiv io increase luc puim stock of words, both in number and in the clearness and extent of meaning.

A Revolutionary Prison. The Cuyler sugar house, as it was known before the revolu tion, or "the old revolutionary prison," as has been known for more than a hundred years, is undergoing demolition. It is sit uated at Duane and Rose streets, New York. In 1777 it held 400 American prisoners of the British and many died there. It is a small structure and one can hard ly imagine -loo persons packed within its walls. There has been no protest made against its de molition, as most New Yorkers do not consider the building in the line of colonial recces. BUT PURE A WESTERN FLYER. shining Express by Electricity Be tween S; Louis and Chicago. The Km pire State lYI11., winch flies from New Buffalo, is soon to be Yoik to entirely eclipsed by an electric traveling at thunderbolt over a road as straight express speed in arrow's course, it thc story be not a dream which Dr. YVeliing ton Adams unfolded recently to the members of the Fleet t ic Club, in New York citv. This wonder ful train of the future, according to Dr. Adams, is to run between St. Louis and Chicago, and in comparison with it all ol tne present "thunderbolt" and "'lightning" vestibuled expresses will fade into the significance of way trains, fit only for third clas traffic. Dr. Adams is the engineer of the proposed road, and as a companv of St. Louis capitalists has raised $0,000,000 to build the road, the dream-stnge of the project, at least in their minds, appears to have been passed. Thc tremendous speed of this new railroad is not .its only curious feature. The shape and nature of its cars, the track, the roadbed, the mode of propulsion, all are enuallv curious to those who have been accustomed to steam railroads, and not the i least curious thiiiLT about the! whole scheme is the calculation which Dr. Adams made to the effect that one-tenth of all the visitors to the World's Fair are expected to pay $T apiece for a round trio on the road. "The plan of the road was sug gested to me whilein Furopc last year," the Doctor said, "and un original plan was to run it from New York to Boston. After re turning to America I investigat ed this route and found it to be impracticable for high speed and a straightaway and level track, because of the great number of the towns on the way .and thc hilly nature ot the country. Be tween Chicago and St. Louis we found the conditions to be per fect. We have surveved the air lin an absolutelv straight line. between the two cities. and the Bv the distance 248 miles. Chicago and Alton railroad it is 282 miles, and by the Wabash road it is still further. Our route lies between these routes, and is o f miles shorter than thc Chicago and Alton. "We have already acquired over 00 percent, of the right of way and we will soon have the rest. The road will cost $0,000, 000 and will be in operation when the World's Fair opens. Por 200 miles of the distance the country is as flat .'is thc surface of a billiard table. Our maximum grade will not exceed two feet in 100 and that will occur at only two points, in Madison county. At present there are 1,200 hrou gh passengers between Chicago and St. Louis on rail roads and the transportation tf the through mails costs $105, 000 per annum. We expect to transport 3,000,000 World's Fair visitors at $5 apiece for the round trip. "We will have tvo central stations on the line one at Yil tnington or Fairbury, III., and the other at Kdinburg. At the last we have bought a coal mine, at Wilmington there is a 10,000 hoisc power waterfall which we will lease, so that we can furnish our power at a normal cost. We will divide the road into lour sections, or equal circuits. At first we will build two heavy tracks for through express trains. They will travel at the average rate of 100 miles per hour, and will make no stop be tween the two cities. We will build spurs out to Spi ingfield, Decatur, Bloommgton and other large towns. " "Prom Springfield and Decatur through trains will run to Chica go without stop, at the same rate of speed. Eventually we will have a four-track road, with the two outside tracks for local traffic. The local trains will stop every mile, and will con stitute practically a continuous street-car service between Chica go and St. Louis. Our trains will run into the Union station at St. Louis over an elevated railroad, and the Chicago ter minus will be at the Fairgrounds. We have secured the right of wav for twentv-ninc miles out of Chicago, and we are --ill rihl - j t the St. Lor.isend.

The trollcw, or over head wire system, will be used. The wire wil1 run along about on a level with the side of the roof of the car. The car will weigh only fifteen tons, and will carry forty passengers. The roof will be only ninety ?eet above the top of the mils. livery car will be a motorcar and passenger coach combined. The pa.-senger compartment will be in the mid dle section of the car. The for ward end o: the car will have the shape of a half cone, .and will come dow n to a point near the ground and between the center of the tracks. The inotornian will stand to the front compart ment. "There will be a pilot wheel on each side of the car at thc front and rear, an 1 a driving wheel six feet in diameter at thc front and rear. The shape of the front of the car is calculated to de crease the atmospheric resis tance, and it will also serve as a cow-catcher. At the rear of the car will be a compartment for mails aud baggage. On each driving wheel will be a motor weighing G,13U poinds, and ca)abie oi JOO-horse power at a speed of 500 revolutions of thc wheel per minute. The armature will be mounted rigidly on the a high velocity There will be but a single wire or each set of i tracks, .and througa tiie wire we can develop an electric power of 25,000 voltage. The trolley wheel will be twelve inches in i diameter. The entire road will be fenced in and will be divided into twentv-fiyc sections, with a transformm station at thc center of each section. By our system the ears will not wear out the rails and roadbed, and we will need no conductors or era kemcn. Dr. Adams illustrated his lec ture with many stereootieon views of the proposed road, cars, motors, etc. At its conclusion several members of the club ex pressed mild reg'ct tliat lie had not given a way the actual secrets of his motors and the methods by which he transmitted so much power through a single wire. Dr. Adams smiled, but did not further elucidate. Civil Engineer George Foi bes, of London, com mended the scheme of the pro posed road, but confessed it puz zled him, Richmond Times. Pants. The following ;s a school boy's composition on the above sub ject. The boy was expelled from school : Pants are made for men, and not men for pants. Women are made for men, and not for pants. When a man pants for a wom an, and a woman pants for a man, they are a pair of pants. Such pants don't last. t Pants are like molasses, they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. Tne man in tie moon crmnges his pants during an eclipse. Don't go to the pantry pants, you mar be mistaken. Men are often mistaken for pants. Such mistakes make breaches of promise. There has been much discussion as to whether "pants" i.s singu lar or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants they are plural, and when they don.t wear any they are singular. Menigcton a tear in their pants and it ir all right; hut when the pants get on a tear it is all wrog. News & Observer.

Experts called "Jampists" go from light-house to light-hous e continually, examining and re pairing lamps. A first-order lamp consumes two and a hah" gallons of oil in a ng winter night. The oil is f-d to it by clockwork and the flash is con trolled by similar mechanism. An opaque pane is the cylinder of glass revolvingabout the light makes a dark interval and a red pane produces a red flash. The lens of a first-order light is six feet in diameter, and the lamp has four concentric wicks, the biggest being four inches in diam eter. One ot the greatest human inventions is the Fiesnel lens. now used in all lighthouses, which condenses the light by an arrange ment of compound icfractors so as to throw a'l the rays in a sin gle sheet. By its means a first order light, naturally of 450 can dle-power, obtains a power of 12,000 candles. Thc most celebrated of lighthouse-keepers is Ida Lewis, who in deeds of heroism has surpass ed the famous Grace Darling. She is now fifty 3'eais. and lias charge of the Lime Rock light house at Newport. When she was tweentv vears ol age her dams gai rison w ho had been similarly upset, and lie was re stored to life at the light-house.

On Feb - ruarv 4th. 1880, two members! of the Fort Adams garrison baud broke through, t lie ice be- tween the light-home and the I fort and she pulled then out. Thus far she has saved thirteen persons from drowiug. Many a deed of heroi-m is per formed by tiie light keepers in Uncle Sam's employ. Scores of people have been v-aved from wrecks bv the hardy mariners of the New South Shoal lightship who never hesitate to launch a boat in the midst of the most violent storm for the purpose of a rescue. On one occasion twen ty-seven persons were snatched by them from a watery grave when the City oi Newcastle ran upon the Nantucket banks and sank stern forcmcst. On another tlar they caught sight of a blck ebject tl riven before the gale, and' putting forth in pursuit of it, rescued a man on a raft, whom they found seated upon thhe corpse of a fellow-castaway, his head buried his hands, and hopde-s of the ai I which came at last. In February, 18 81. the Sharp's Island light-house was carried away by ice in Ches apeake bay. The keepers tended the lamp to thc last, and clung to thc structure when it was swept from its foundation, final ly saving not only themselves, but a great part of the valuable apparatus. Some of the devices employed by the Light-house Board are regarded bv residents on shore as extremely objectionable. Worst of all are the "steam si rens." which are truly a diaboli cal invention from any other point of view than that tit utility.

A paragraph about the largest libraries in thc world, taken from Greenwood's "Public Libraries." and put in circulation by the newspapers, states the number ol'priirtcd volumes in thc Biblio- theque Nationale to be upwards of 2,000,000, and of those in the British Museum about 1,500,- 000. But I might as well reprint thc item in full : ' "The largest library in the world is that at Paris, which contains upward of 2,000,000 printcc books 'and 100,(00 man uscripts. Between the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg and the British Museum there is not much difference. In the British Museuir there are about 1,500. 000 volumes The Royal Libra ry at Munich has now something over 000,000, but this includes many pamphlets; the Royal Li sa;i:c city 'i70, 000 yoiumts.

We have had essays on girls, on boys, on horses, tin cows, but the little dai key has t ue to con- tri'htitf T-iiiv on tile subject oi cork : Cork am dc bark ot a tree. It makes no noise. De bark dat comes from a dog docs. Cork had a lazy time of it before bot tles bethought of. Cork don't like bottles. It won't go into one widout a deal of pressin'. Cork am mcd to stop holes in casks. It makes a bungling job of it. Legs are som times made of cork, but dey hab no feelin.' So I guess people who will do wrong and hab no care for other people have their hearts made of cork, too. Many a mancouldn't havekep, his head above water but for cork, it am a handy thing to have about. Hats arc made of cork, but cork--screws are made of some thin, else. So there's nothing in a name.
