MONDAY MARCH 2 1891.
Botany in Winter.
I feci convinced that if the teachers
were not opposed to it the subject
would ere now have been more widely
taught and I shall therefore say a few
words in anticipation of difficulties. It
has been suggested that materials would
be scarce in winter. Not at all. Let
the children be familiarized with the
observation and comparison of the pecul-
iarities of a sprig of holly as contrasted
with one of ivy or let them ba shown
how different are the buds and leafless
shoots of the beech from those of the
oak or a horse chestnut. Show them
how to observe the bud scales how to
infer the leaf arrangement from the
scars how to notice the color rough-
ness markings etc. of the periderm.
Or give them introductory notions as
to the nature of a hyacinth bulb as con-
trasted with the potato tuber confining
their attention to points which they can
make out by observation. Every nut or
orange or apple that the child eats might
be made interesting if teachers would
dare step over the traces of convention
and introduce such ostensibly dangerous
articles into classwork. And why not?
The doctrine of rewards and punish-
ments is applied more crudely than this
in most childrens schools.—Professor
Marshall Ward in Popular Science
Boys Keep Away from Africa.
Two or three weeks ago three young
men. each having over $lOOO in cash
left Pittsburg for Africa to explore.
About a dozen letters have been re-
ceived Jrom boys referring to this inci-
dent and asking for advice or informa-
tion. Had the three young men set out
for an idiot asylum calculating to ask
to be taken in and cared for during the
remainder of their lives they would
have exhibited more common sense.
Africa is not a country where every
Tom Dick and Harry can go roaming
about at will. All the seaports are in
the hands of Egyptians Moors French
Germans or English. Any one has a
legal right to land but not every one
has a legal right to go gallivanting
around the country.
Stanley had to have the backing of
two governments to enable him to do so.
A correspondent of The New York
World was threatened with arrest if he
went beyond certain boundaries a
young man who has no better sense
than to set out on such an expedition
ought to have a guardian and that
guardian ought to have legal permission
to tan his jacket ten times a day.—M
Quad in Detroit Free Press.
Who Will Be the Next Pope?
It is stated that the French and Span-
ish cardinals are concerting for the nom-
ination of Cardinal Zigliara as the suc-
cessor to Leo XIII. The general feeling
is that at the next conclave the election
of a foreign pope is impracticable the
only available non-Italian members of
the Sacred College being the Swiss Car-
dinal Mermillod and the American Car-
dinal Gibbons. It is not likely how-
ever that either of these will emerge as
the successor of Leo XIII.
The nomination of Cardinal Zigliara
who is a Dominican monk is not alto-
gether unlikely. He is a native of Cor-
sica but strange to say he took out let-
ters of naturalization as a subject of the
ex-Pontifical states. He is a man of
great learning and quite outside all po-
litical questions. I have reason to be-
lieve that if the pope died to-morrow
Cardinal Zigliara would be sure of near-
ly foriy votes. His only opponents would
be the Jesuits whose nominee is Cardi-
nal Monaco la Valeria.—Paris Cor. Lon-
don Chronicle.
Bouton Want* to Come Nearer.
It is gratifying to observe that the
business men of Boston are disposed to
make an active effort to secure quicker
time by rail between this city and New
York Hie members of the Executive
Business association have discussed the
question and have come to the very sen-
sible conclusion that the public interests
of the c»t\ demand a better service and
that such a service can be secured
“without prejudice to the interests of
the railroads connecting the two cities.”
No one who has studied the conditions
involved and who knows of' how much
the modem railway is capable will doubt
this. A new line would’ probably not be
a profitable enterprise but it is within
the power of the existing lines Io reduce
the time of the journey by express trains
from six hours to five and there is no
sufficient reason for delaying to do eo.—
Boston Post.
PoUoti-i In Cane Handh
A jtecnliar and painful case of paraly-
sis of the which ought to l»e of
interest to every man who carries a
metal topped cane or umbrella is being
treated by Dr. Heury F. Robinson of
this city. It is a sore of the hand caused
by the pressure of a round knobbed stick
against the palm. In the case of Dr.
Robinson's patient the sore has affected
the muscles from the fingers to above the
wrist. Dr. Robinson says that a .stick
with a handle instead of a knob is the
proper thing.—New York Telegram.
A GkmV. Insupportable Chagrin.
1 any Baldwin a negro weighing 300
ponnds. shot himself through the head
had 8 0t into a quarrel
1 “ft e chap who pounded him un-
mercifully. Baldwin took it so much to
heart that he went home and promptly
killed himself.— Wichita Cor. St. Louis
