SCHOLASTIC SAUSAGES.
A New and Shorter Catechism tor the
Ileneflt of Teachers and Pupils.
Question. Is the sm-.ill boy. always
benefited by being filled with facts and
ligures? Answer. . He is not. He is, on
the contrary, often overloaded with
them, as is hisstoniac! with plumcake,
and the result of both doses is to make
him a dull boy.
Q. How much should a small boy
loam at school in a day? A. As iniu-h
as he can take in easily and pleasantly,
and no more. In fact, knowledge can't
be forced into him as is the gas into
soda-water. Or if to forced it won't
stay.
Q. Should learning be made pleasant
for the t-mall boy? A. It should, ami
for the tame reason that his bread, ale?
nr.d pie are made pleasant to bis taste.
He will not absorb learning if it is made
t taste like rhubarb, and that is one
reason why so many boys and girls get
.sick of studv at school.
Q. Whose fault is tlrs? A. It is the
fault partly of the teacher, partly of the
parent, and, more tha:i all, of the sys
tem which forces the same kind of in
tellectual pie, cake and pudding down
the throats of all boys and girls, whether
tl.ey like it or not
Q. Vha in "si;me respects, docs our
educational system resemble? A. An
immense sansage-stulling machine. Ma
chine the system; s.uisages the boys
and girls; men who run the machine
the teachers.
Q. What someiimes .happens if the
scholastic sausage is crammed too full?
A. The skin bursts and the small boy
d'es. Or if he dfes not die Irs m'nd is
crippled f r life through the overcram
ming. Q. Docs a . "well-stored memory
argue a . well-org.ini zed mind? A. So.
A man may be alle to parrot the whole
dictionary, and not -be e.spable of taking
charge of a peanut stand.
Q. How may such an overloaded
ra. mory affect tli3 small boy's mind?
A. As au overdose of plum-pudding
does the small boy's stomach renders
it heavy, and i nahle t act vigorously.
Q. What do sue'.i heavy loads of
book knowledge frequently make of
people? A. Hons, who are always
trviug to stuff others as full as them
selves of the dead weight of fae'.s they
carry.
Q. What is the result of overs tudy
to many of the child: en in our schools?
A. Premature spectacles-
Q. Visually into what may this soon
develop the race. A. C'oggle eyes.
Q. What is iurpiirv to the child's eye
from ovcrtudy Cjii'valent to? A.
Smashing a man's toes in training him
lor a foot-race.
Q. lint iuut not small bovs and
girls be forced to learn to keep them
lrom ignorance and idleness. A. If 3011
force fruit in a hot-house to ripen you
do so at the expense of native strtngth
an I vigor to the plant or tree.
Q. What is the frequent reward in
I ract:eal ijfe of a full-grown and filled
sausage turned out of the college stuff
ing machine? A. Ten dollars a wet-k
as amanuens's or "private secretary.
Q. Why so poorly paid? A. Too
much st u ;iing. lirain overloaded with
knowledge. No room left for "gum;t
tioa." Q. What is "gu jaption"? A. Know
ing how to use knowledge after you've
got it. Some fo'ks call it wisdom.

to digest them.
Q. Would 3-0:1 allow the small boy
to select his o- n stud'es? A. Would
yo;i not allow each tree to bear its own
fruit? If the boy wants to blos-som into
Latin, let him; if he wants to blcssom
into a blacksmith, fertilize him with
iron and let him.
Q. What do some "finished educa
tions" resemble? A. Intellectual
pat-hwork. A little of this, a little of
that, ami nothing in particular. Re
sult: "Crazy quilt."
Q. Or in other words? A. A men

siiapes and colors, but not awoll-woven

ALL ABOUT VIOLINS.
T'.iei Surrr of til's Crrraoni Woods Uel
l.i !I.nar.ioIiri'i? the Instrument.
For some time considerable attent'on
has been devoted by manufacturers of
the violin to 'perfecting that instrument.
A discussion has for some time been
progressing as to the secret of the suc
cess of the cremona. Mr. Shradieck,
of Cincinnati, says the 'secret of the
cremona makers has been discovered,
and consists of using for their instru
ments the wood of a tree containing
balsam. This tree used to be planted
in the neighborhood of Cremona, but it
is no longer to be found in Italy.
A reporter f ;r the Moil and Express
visited a manufacturer in this city and
asked for his views. He said: "The
subject of the manufacture of violins
Has always caused difference of opinion.
a'id I think always will. The rea-on of
th' success of t lie old cremonas is very
1 illeult to account for. One way of
doing so is that there are a number of
lot arts, ami it is contended by some
ti;?.t the old cremona manufacturers
know an art of which we know - noth
ing." i) von think that the Cremona vio
lins are far superior to any now made?"
"Xo. 1 do not. I think that with a
number of people a cremona is only
usvd for the sake of having an old
vioi'n. aid not because of more excel
lent tone. Artists have crazes as well
as other persons. I don't think that
there was so much of a secret in the
cremona manufacture, but that there is
a great deal in the fact that they are
very old, and have, consequently mel
lowed in tone. Mr. Shradieck. who
say s that the secret lias been discovered,
and that cremonas were made of wood
containing J.alsnm, does not say whether
it wa pine, spruce, or Tfir, all "of which
3'iel 1 balsam.
"What wood is principally used for
violins?'1
"The sounding-board is -adc of
spruce and the back of mapfe. The
sounding-board is made out of two
pieces glued together down the center.
It is not bent into shape but cut out.
The wood is never cut with a saw, but
split, and the finer the grain of the
wood the finT the tone. The backs are
never polished, but varnished with a
sort of lacquer, which is supposed to
add to the tone. Some makers say that
a fine-toned instrument simply depends
on line manufacture and proper propor
tions; if that is so, why do they not al
ways turn out good instruments? You
may make a hundred instruments and
not have one good 'one among them.
This accounts a great deal for the ex
pensive prices violins fetch." X. Y.

GUESTS.
How They Should Be Served Stujitd Cus
tom Outgrown.
Not every one who can skilfully
carve a joint, or a fowl, is capable of
serving it. None but a natural diplo
mat can successfully accomplish t':e
feat. The "eternal fitness of things'"
should be carefully considered by the
host previous to serving li s guests; and
the apportioning of special parts of a
dish to certain individuals should be
distinctly' understood and fully -impressed
upon the servant waiting on the
table. Many a host, however, fails in
this essental requisite for the perfect
accomplishment of a dinner, his chief
aim apparently being to get rid of the
pieces before him, regardless of the sex,
age or tastes of his company. A man
of this kidney ought never to be allowed
to give a dinner, and it rests with the
guests to decide- whether they will ever
a second time be found seated at such
a man's table.
1 have witnessed at private dinner
parties the most egregious blunders
committed by servauts. Plates con
taining delicacies intended for certain
sp cifed guests, given by mistake to
those who ueither cared for nor appre
ciated them; while those for whom they
were intended got that which they least
relished. A stupid waiter should be
carved, drawn and quartered.
When the carviug is done at a side
table I hold it a good rule to place the
dish before the master of the house, so
that he, presumably knowing the tastes
of his guo-ts, can properly serve it.
The eu-toiu of passing the carved meat
arouud the table, allowing each person
to help him or herself, I do uot ccn -ider
wise. Two-thirds, probably, of the
guests especially w!htj the company
is a little mixtd as regards age an I sex
scarcely know th. difference between
one piece of meat and another, an.,
therefore, naturally take that which is
closest to their hand. Indeed if they
knew the difference, they feel a deli
cacy about turning over the various
pieces on the dish in search of that
which they prefer. Whereas, if the
host himself sends it to them,' the' have
no scruples in accepting it. Of course
the waiter should l.e instructed, when
he reeehes the plates, to place them
without making an error before the
persons for whom they are intended.
The fashion wh'ch used to exist of
passing, in the name of politeness, th -plate
seat to you by the host, to your
neighbor, is now, happily ignored. In
the old days say tweuty-five years ago
I have seen a plate of meat handed
to a guest at the right of the ho t, pass
entire! around the table until it found
a resting place in front of the gue t on
his left sile. How preposterous was
this! As the plate passed from hand
to hand its contents depreciated in
value, and was little better than "cold
vittals" when it reached its final abid
ing place.
Another old-fashioned cu-to.n which
we have fortunately outgrown, but was
once regarded as the height of polite
ness, as for none at the table to begin
c:.t ng tint 1 ali surrounding it were
helped (I like the word helped in place
of scr.cd ) Thereby, however, many a
plate of soup grew cold e'er partaken
of; and goodly slices of mut on or beet
were chilled, and thus rendered u:.pal
at tble. Of coi;re it woul I be quite im
polite to proceed, the moment a plat:
of soup was placed before you, to "gut

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
A woman with pleasant smileclear skin,
bright eye, generous expression, elastic
step, hearty-hand shake and courteous

f debility, languor, or dyspepsia. She has
overcome these pests by using Brown's

weakness and lack of appetite and energy,
I felt like another person."
A OKEAT SUFFERER FROM DEBILITY,
JJERV0U8NESS, LOSS OF SLEEP AND
APPETITE, RESTORED TO HEALTH BY
COMPOUND OXYGEN.
The following, written for publication
by W. G. P. Briuckloe, of Hulmeville, Pa.,
editor and publisher of the Odd Fellows'
Journal, gives that gentleman's happy
experience with Compound Oxygen :
"In the Spring of 1S81 my health began
to fail, so that I became a great svfferer
f rota debility, nervousness, and loss of
sleep and appetite. After trying several
remedies and continuing to grow weaker,
I almost in despair gave up the hope of
living. To add to my sufferings, in Octo
ber of the same year I was afflicted with a
severe cold, which seemed to induce con
gestion of the liver and kidneys, threat
ened paralysis of the right side. The pre
scribed remedies aggravated, rather than
allayed, the suffering.
"About the first of November I heard of
Compound Oxygen and was induced to try
it. At this time I teas losing about half
a gill of blood a day. I could not sleep
soundly, very little appetite, and very
flighty memory.
"n less than Uco tceeks after taking
the Compound Oxygen I teas like a new
person. The bleeding had stopped entirely,
my ajwetite became healthy, my sleep
proved, and my memory became good and
steady. I have continued its ue until the
present time, September 1st, 1S83, enjoy
ing good health, excellent spirits, and im
proved powers of endurance, both mentally
and physically.
"There have also been a numberof won
derful results that have come within my
observation from the use ot Compound
Oxygen."

A SURE CURE FOUND AT LAST
NO ONE NEED SUFFER.
A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding. Itching and Ulcer
ated Piles has been discovered by Dr. William (an In
dian Remedy) called Dr. William s Indiaa Pile Oint
ment. A single box has cured the worst chronic cases
of 25 or 30 years standing. No one need sutler five min
utes after applying this wonderful soothing medicine.
Lotions, instruments and electuaries do more harm than
good. William's Indian Pile Ointment absorbs the tu
mors, allays the intense itching (particularly at night
after getting warm in bed), acts as a poultice, gives in
stant relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itching of
the private parts, anu for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Oomnberry, of Cleveland,
says about Dr. William's Indian Pile Ointment: "I have
used scores of Pile Cures, and it affords me pleasure to

"HAVEN'T TIME."
A Wearisome Iteration. Which Suggest a
rertineut Inquiry.
No matter how reasonable and im
portant the thing you ask your friend
or neighbor to do, ten chances to one
she will answer. "Haven't t'.me. Would
like to ever so much; nothing would
please me belter; but, positively, I
haven't time." The veriest dawdler
or do nothing, male or femrJe, will
chant the f-ame refrain in your ears.
Haven't time," until you learn to ex
pect it like an echo. So by and by it
naturally occurs to a reflective mind to
wonder what has become of all the
time. People used to have plenty of it
for everything they wanted to accom
plish, and st 11 be at a loss for some
thing to do for pastime. But to-day
the man or woman who has time, really
has plenty of it and to spare, strikes
one as a rel'c of by-gone times one
who has outlived his generation, as
it were, and now stands alone among
strangers; at least such was our im
pression on discovering one of these in
dividuals not long since. A woman
neither young nor old, nor yet hand
some nor homely, sat in a pla n
but comfortable room, applying
herself most industriously to knit
ting threads into lace, each' yard
of which would require probably a
day and a half to finish. After expres
sing our wonder, to say nothing of the
disgust, we felt st the woman's pa
tience in this work, we inquired what
it was intended to adorn. O, nothing
in particular." she replied. "I don't
know what I'll do with it. I'm only
making it to kill time." Wonder gave
place to amazement. It had been so
long since we had heard any one own
up to having time enough for any
thing, that our look became a stare
and the woman appeared anxious on
our account. We explained as best we
could, to make the situation endur
able, but really we haven't yet ceased
to wonder at her. That things have
changed since the good old time when
almost every one had le'sure, is cer
tain. We" have invented machines
that do the work in doors and out in
less than half the time it could be
done without them, but indoors at least
we have also invented work for the
machines to do, that just a little more
than till up the half time saved, and so
we have grown busy and st'll busier,
until we haven't time for a good easy
breath more than once a week; and not
then if obliged to superintend the get
ting of three meals a day Sunday, and
an extra big meal at that. This pre
cludes the possibility of woman's one
chance for a full, deep breath, and she
must content herself with breathing
half way to her waist without hope
of a chanire for the better. To be sure
she won't live out half her days, and
can't be worth much while she docs
live. But she tlrnks she might as well
be altogether out of the world as out
of the fashion, and since Mrs. Tom,
Dick and Harry do thus, and so her
fate is lixeJ. It is really unalterable,
or might she not help herself if she
would? Who made her neighbors her
pattern? And who obliges her to fol
low blindly every senseless course they
may choose to walk in?
The fact is wj need to cultivate a
spir-t of self-dependence that1 will en
able us to adjust our domest'c affairs
with reference to the happiness and
convenience of ourselves and family
Without auy reference whatever to who
may tl.i lk what. There isent'rely too
much plate-glass, front to American
houses. We seem to thirst for notori
ety, without much regard as to the
kind we receive. There is not another
civ.lized nation in existence but seems
to regard the home and home life
hs something sacred; and while we
are convinced that in this very matter
of homes we have the sweetest, purest
and happiest the world affords, we do
feel that we should imitate the example
of others in this particular. Tho
habit we have of living out of doors
and parading our domestic affairs
before stranjrers. not onlv detracts
from the dignity of home-life, but
t;nus 10 iosier an aniuciai manner,
of livinsr that chokes all the heart out"
of the home. Aga'n, could we but do
away with this custom of advert s'ng
every ra'.'t'eular of our 1 vmg, we
should cease to care for anything be
yond that which conduces to the h jm
est -rood of the inmates of the home;
and what superfluities such a reforma
tion would cut oil! And what time and
time we should have left for mental
improvements, and companionship with
husband and eh Idren. For verily,
whether we realize it or not, mv dear
sister, tlfs is what becomes of the bulk
of our time. And we may save many
an hour from weary. ng, useless drudg
ery to deote to the moral training
and happiness of our families, by
s mply daring to order our homes after
our own notions regardless of our
neighbors or any one else outs:de of
our own foursquare walls. Burlington

THE ARABS.
Savages M ho My lie Conquercd.'nul Who
Xcvi r Surrender.
As at Tcb and Taraat, the wounded
Arabs nfused to be made prisoners,
and preat cant on had to be exercised
in ni;)vmr about the field, not only to
avoid the covert stabs dealt by the
bleed'nu Arabs but the rushes an I cuts
of the fanatics who shammed death in
order that they might the more sure
ly get achanceof bury!nsj their weapons
in one of us..
Kxplorin.r along th's wady a party of
our men came upon six dead ami four
wounde I Arabs Iv nir under a Iuisip
dwarf minosa t:ee. The soldiers had
an interpreter with them, and the
Arabs were called upon to surrender
and cnnv out. That thev said thev
could not do; would the soldiers there
fore com a an 1 take them. The four
wounded men s.ll had the'r spears in
their hands. "Very rood.'1 sail our
sold ers, "put down your spears, and
we will see vou are well treated, and
do all we can to cure your wounds.''
The answer of the four Arabs cami-
fierce and co c se: "Put down our
spears, infidel dos! By God r.nd the
prophet never!" There was a crack
of Martin'-Henrys. You can guess the
rest. It was azain, as at Teb and
Tamai, almost impossible to take pris
oners, and we secured but two of their
wounded alive.
The third prisoner I assisted to bring
in, but he was hardly a capture for the
gave man h'mself up. He had a Reming
ton and over 100 rounds of ammunition.
His story was that he had been one of
the .Berber Lsrvptian jrsirriscn, and
since the fall of that place had been
breed into the Mahdi's army. He was
glad to escape from them, he declared,
and I must say the fellow looked cheer
ful at be'ajr taken. A trooper of the
Nineteenth conducted him to General
Stewart He was our one unwounded
prisoner! Cor. London Telegraph. ,
