One of then newldeuof education, m l Im
tioguished from anything heard by teachers nf
the hint century, is education by jlay, or in
other words, the organization of the apontaneuus
activity of ohUdbootl into a means of education,
which the child gains for himself. The tcaclu r
who understands this, tnns the activity, the
boundless, restless energy of childhood, into
discipline gained in the nappy exercise of its
physical, social ami moral nature, liy paternal
improvement is one of the ends of public educa
tion. I r. t lhanning would have said to you, " Man
ual lalxir is a school in which men are placed
to get energy of purpose and character, a vastly
more important acquirement than the learning
of all the schools."
The ffcnitoa ota6or, it tnlrintk iiifnit; awl
worth, should not be lost sight of by the teach
er. "An endless significance lies in. work. Man
perfects himself In working." There are many
ways in which this doctrine can be taught out
side of technical schools. You will lay the
foundation for the proper training of workers
in such schools.
Mr. Greeley said, and we have his worda
daily brought to mind : "Not while the world
waits for a more thorough enforcement nf the
principle that every child should, in youth, be
trained to skill and efficiency in some depart
ment of uselul, productive industry, can we
hODS to banish able-bodied pauperism, with its
attendant train of evils, vices and sufferings,
from the dvuixed world.
As von take the nncioua and Oostlv materials
of your work into your hands, to be molded
and shaped into the men and women who will
take our places In society, I hope you will
write these principles upon the sensitive tablets
of childish hearts. The end of your work is not
scholarship that is only a means- it is better
lives, uncial improvement, the abolition of vice
and crime, increase of comfort, increase of cul
ture, Improvement of morals, manners and
and tastes.
Without these objects in view, the product
of your labors will be cold, hard, merely intel
lectual. Knowledge by itself fertilizes nothing,
unless its reservoirs are warmed by the ntl'eo-
tions. Then aeqaUUhn heeomti iiiomjiiiou
with ffrowth. Direct the growth of your pupils
- of their roots toward principles, their tops
toward high ideals, their branches toward uses ;
and you will need to grow continually this way
yuunelvea, if you ever feed with living truth
the Lord's little ones.

SUGAR AS FOOD.
Harm has Wen done by propagating the no
tion that sugar is injurious to the teeth, by db
verting attention from real causes of destruction
or decay. The eating of any amount of pure
sugar cannot injure the teeth directly, because
it has no residue, it ia wholly dissolved and
passes into the st omach.
But let it l KinemWred that the practice of
eating sugars or candies or any other sweet
meats largely, will inevitably cause a disorder
of the stomach and generate gases there, which
will speedily undermine the health of the teeth.
By insisting too much on the fact that sugars
and candies destroy the teeth, an impression
will grow that if theae are mainly avoided, the
person so doing will have good teeth, ami thta
leads the mind awav from the necessity of keep
iug the mouth dorm find th" stomach healthful.
If these things are well done, and the teeth are
kept plugged in a finished style, teeth naturally
or hereditarily "jMior, " may W kept in a good
state uf preservation for many years.
All forms of dyspepsia have a direct tendency
to destroy the teeth. Whatever causes acidity
of the stomach is ruinous to the teeth. A tahle
spnonful of the purest syrup of loaf-sugar, taken
three times a day before meals, will destroy the
tone of the healthiest stomach in a very short
time. And when it is reniemWred how many
patent medicines are made up in the form of
syrups and Bweet lozenges, and how common
the use of them has become, it need not W won
dered at that every second or third person met
on the street known the meaning of "sour stom
ach" or dyspepsia.
So far from sugars and pure candies injuring
the teeth or the health, they would, if used
wisely and in moderation, as Bole desserts, be
actual preventatives of both; especially if alter
nated, as desserts, with fruits and Wrriea in
their natural, raw, ripe, fresh, perfect state, by
banishing from our tables the pestiferous pie,
the leaden pudding, and pastries and cakes of
every name, which, oa desserts, always tempt
to excesses which lay the foundation for dis
eases which torture for a lifetime, or bring
speedily to the grave.
Let the spirit of this article be distinctly un
dersold. Vine sugars and candies do not in
jure the teeth, except indirectly, by their in
judicious use in exciting acidity of stomach or
dyspepsia, as will any other kind of food, or
drink, or Wverage, if extravagantly used.
At seasons of the year when fruits and lierriea
may not be had, ripe, fresh, mid perfect, as des
serts, pure sugars and candies may be used u
such in their stead to great advantage, Wcause
they are healthful, Wing warming, nutritious,
and agreeable; hence, us a table article, they
are very valuable, while the almost universal
love of them shows that they were intended to
W eaten. If a child is not allowed to cat any
thing containing sugar it will sicken and die in
a very short time. Children need the carhon,
the fuel contained in sugar to keep them warm;
without it they would perish from cold; hence
the love of sweet things is an instinct, implant
ed by the kind and wise Maker of us all for the
chilli's preservation. Jlull' Journal of llraUh.

Pencil and paper. A fowl was dressed, eggi

and not a spot nor a spatter touched the apron

or Iron. Wo read in the Journal of tkt
Franklin ItutUuti that M. Boris recom
mends Hat.feld's process, which is based
on an ingenious idea. The tannate of the
protoxide of iron, which is soluble, absorbs
oxygen rapidly from the air, and is transformed
into insoluble tannate of peroxide. The oj-ers-tion
is two-fold: tirst, injection of tannic acid;
second, injection of a protoxide of iron. For
this purpose- pyrolignite is used, which com
bines the advantage of cheapness with that of
not Injuring the woody filters. The injection ii
made in close vessels, with the same appantui
aa for creosote. The inventor claims the fol
low ing advantages: tirst, the complete insole
bility of the tannate of peroxide, seems to gi
a complete guarantee of durability; second, the
injection is so made as to yield a great excess of
tannic acid, which, being free, coagulate the
albumen of the wood, tanning it, M to speak,
and transforming all woods into a kind of oak,
