A SURE CUKE FOR CROUP.
Twkxty fivk Yrabs’ Constant Use
without a Failure.
The first indication of croup i 9
hoarseness,and in a child subject to
Dial disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack. Fol
lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the chiid
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which it has not proved ef
fectual. No other preparation can
show such a record —twenty-five years’
constant use without a failure. For

HOKE AND SCHOOL.
(By Prof. Earnest Seal, Principal Martin In
stitute. )
Who has not felt the magic in
fluence of that world-famous Bong,
“Hume, Sweet Home ?” The se
cret of its popularity is not any
special excellence of metre, or even
originality of thought. Rather it
is the absence of originality. It
merely voices in simple strains the
melody of every human heart since
the first home was built on earth
until now. It is a subject that
never tires, but has eternal mem
ory and hope in it. Home is r.
talisman; we whisper the word in
our hearts, and wear the thought
of it about us like a charm or am
ulet. The fetters that bind us to
home are the cords that connect
us with all true progress and right
development. The happiness of a
well organized home is reflective in
the lives of all true men and wo
men w ho come in contact with its
inmates. Home is the central
point of all happiness, the pivot
upon which depends the weal or
i woe of families or communities.
What, then, is so important as
the right building of earthly homes
in all spiritual and practical ways?
What subject so fraught with great
consequences as the hearth-stone ?
The hearth-stone! How portent
is that word 1 Oh, what memories
gather around the old logs ablaze
upon the hearthstone 1 Those
were the days of unleavened bread,
when life was not fermented and
all the chambers of the imagiua
tion were filled with visions bright
and beautiful. The old fire upon
the hearth-stone, home’s altar, is
home itself in essence, and mem
ory loves to dilate upon its cheer
ful glow, its kindly warmth, its
visions of the ideal future that
was not to be.
These remiuisences crowd my
mind, and I indulge them as a fit
exordim to the article it is my
purpose to write in behalf of the
young and their proper home and
school training. It might be best
for me and for you, fathers and
mothers, to whom I write, to take
even a more extended retrospective
view of life—to turn back the cur
tain of the years and become chil
dren as of yore, that our hearts
may beat in sympathy with these
little ones about our knees whom
God has entrusted to our care and
keeping, and makes it our impera
tive duty to rear into noble and
useful manhood and womanhood.
In memory, let us listen again to
mother’s lulaby, or sit on father’s
knee, or chase butter-flies in the
garden, or play “in the meadow,
the deep tangled wild wood, and
every loved spot which our infancy
knew,” or sport with the “birds
singing gaily that come at our
call,” and let us feel that inno
cence of spirit, sweeter than all.
Then turn to the little bright-eyed
boy or the golden-haired girl at
our side with a truer estimate of
the value of a soul untouched by
sin, and in return for thesuDshiue
that childish purity has poured
into our hearts, resolve with Heav
en’s help to let no contaminating
influence eusnair our children and
blast their lives. “Rear up a
child in the way he should go. and
when he is old he will not depart
from it.” “Early impressions are
the most lasting.”
That child is blest that begins
life’s journey in a good home.
But the time comes when the
child must be turned over to the
teacher, when one whose business
in life it is to instruct the young,
must become father and mother to
the mind entrusted to his care and
guidance. The early training of
an immortal spirit is of such price
less importance, its healthful
growth, the unfolding of its pow
ers, the nobleness of its character,
and its success and happiness in
life, depends in so great a degree
upon what i 6 done in the earliest
stages of its preparation, that the
selection of a primary teacher ca
pable of directing the processes of
this preparation is of greatest im
portance. Ido not believe that
young girls make as good primary
teachers as do women who them
selves are mothers. Little chil
dren should be kept in a cheerful
atmosphere. They should not fall
into an anxious way, a habit of
solicitude about lessons or any
thing else. All the lessons ever
taught in school are not worth so
heavy a price. The anxious habit
may come to form a part l of the
very being; it may throw a dark
shadow over the soul, which
neither the delights of prosperity
nor the consolation of religion can
remove. The world will become
cheerless and empty to one who
has lost this sunshine of the »oul.
An anxious habit, fixed, is a dis
ease which no medicine can cure.
School houses should not be jails
to hold the spirits of children in
confinement and constraint, es
pecially at that age when every
thing in a child’s nature proclaims
that he ought to be free aud hap
py. Little children should never
be kept at school in the same room
with larger and more advanced
pupils; if so, a great part of their
time is sacrificed and with it tht
peace of the whole school. The
child has many faculties, all im
patient to be exercised, all spring
ing out with delightful eagerness
towards innumerable objects with
which a Wise Creator has sur
rounded His creatures in this
beautiful world. Five minutes at
a time, four or five times a day,
spent upon letters and words, will
enable him to learn their appear
ance more rapidly aud cheerfully
than in the way usually pursued
in our country schools. The appa
ratus for such a school would be a
collection of things—natural ob
jects, stones, woods, fruits, grains;
thiugs to handle, weights to lift,
ropes to pull, balls to throw, beans
and corn to measure; objects to
exercise the eye, the ear, the hands.
It is foolish to believe that just
anybody can teach a little child,
To theoontrary.it requires a teach
er of extensive information, of
great resources, inventive, apt to
teach, of pleasant manners, full
of kindness, and a lover of chil
dren.
The next grade is for children
who have learned to read and
write. It should present a new
scene, a new room, a new teacher,
to gratify that insatiate love of
novelty, which we complain of,
while we forget it is one of the
most beuevolent provisions of the
Maker for the happiness of His
children. The apparatus of this
room should be black boards,chalk,
tablets, pencils, and a child’s li
brary. Reading must receive care
ful attention, writing must be
taught, written spelling must be a
frequent exercise, the elements of
drawing must be introduced, men
tal arithmetic must be begun.
Hero may also be taught the tables
of weights and measures, not mere
ly from books, but by actual use
of the quart cup, the yard stick,
aud other standards, With these
exercises should be introduced the
elements of English Grammar,
taught orally, and oil the black
board, and practiced on the tablet,
in making sentences, so as from
the beginning to bear its fruits of
correctly written sense. The teach
er of this school should be accom
plished, and especially have great
readiness in explanation and con
versation.
It is my purpose to give in this
article a sketch of the plan, and
an outline of the course to be pur
sued at Martin Institute. But my
article is growing lengthy, and as I
wish to proceed, step by step, from
the primary to the highest depart
ment, alluding to important par
ticulars, with a view to bringing
about unity of purpose and con
cert of action on the part of trus
tees, teachers, patrons and pupils,
I shall require another week for
the completion of my undertaking.
When I consider the resources
and unbounded capacities for im
provement of Jefferson’s educa
tional advantages, and th 6 cheer
ing fact that through Martin In
stitute, whatever may be done for
the few may be done for all, that
any child, however poor, may re
ceive, as freely as he does the light
of Heaven, a finished education, I
can conceive no nobler object of
honorable ambition for our citi
zens than the execution of the free
school plan we are proposing.
Counting nothiug done while so
j much remains to he done, my own
i resolution is made; God helping
1 me through your instrumentality,
|my children and your children
and your children shall receive
! the best education that the Martin
endowment, the public school
fund, the municipal taxation, the
wisdom of trustees, the assistance
of an able faculty, the confidence
of patrons, a magnificent build
ing, and excellent equipment,make
possible.
AGUINALDO IN HIDING.
Abandoned the Troops.

Cuba.
Washington, Deo. 19.—Gen Otis
cabled to the war department the
following important advices from
Manila:
“Fifty men of the navy and
fifty men of thenrmy, transported
by the navy, took Laog on the
10th instant. Gen. Young with
staff followed next day, He re
ports a battalion and a portion of
the Thirty-third infantry passed
north to Ridding east of Laog.
March’s battalion of the Thirty
fourth was at Cayan, province of
Lepanto, on the 7th. The Third
cavalry is along the coast aud in
the mountains pursuing the ene
my. Young states the extreme
northern force has passed over the
mountains, driving the insurgents
under Gen. Tino, who is badly
wounded, killing fifty and wouud
iug many. He made large cap
tures of riflis and property with
all the insurgent transportation
and released all the Spanish pris
oners, to the number of about
two thousand. Our casualties
were two wounded. Our troops
are still pursuing the remnant of
Tino’s command. March’s bat
talion reports from Cayan, Lepan
to province, on the 7th instant,
that he has destroyed Aguinaldo’s
bodyguard, killed Gen. Greggrio
Pilar, received the surrender of
Gen. Consepir and staff, aud kill
ed and wounded fifty-two insur
gents. He has released 575 Span

and captured considerable proper
ty. Loss, two killed and nine
wounded. My information is
Aguinaido has disguised his indi
viduality, abandoned the troops
and is hiding in the province of
Benguet. ”
Otis’ second dispatch follows:
“Admiral Watson informs tne
that the province of Cagayan sur
rendered unconditionally to Cap
tain McCalla on the 11th instant,
all arms being surrendered. Major
Batchelder is ninety miles south
of Apparri, and his command in
in good condition.”
WOOD WILL RELIEVE BROOKE.
Washington, Dec. 19.—8 y direc
tion of the President. Maj. Gen.
Leonard F. Wood, U. S. V., has
been assigned to the command of
the division of Cuba, relieving
Maj. Gen. John R, Brooke, U.S.A.
Maj Gen. Wood will in ad
dition to his duties as division
commander, exercise the authority
of military governor of the island.
On completion of the transfer
of the command, Maj. Gen. Brooke
is ordered to repair to this city
and report to the adjutant general
of the army for further orders of
the Secretary of War. He will be
acc mpanied by authorized aides.
In releiving Maj. Gen. Brooke,
the President expresses his high
appreciation and thanks for the
faithful and efficient service ren
dered by that officer as military
governor of Cuba.
CUBANS CRYING FOR LIBERTY,
Santiago deCuba, Dec. 19.—A
meeting held at the Antonio Ma
ceo Club to celebrate the anniver
sary of the death of Maceo, devel
oped a violent patriotic demon
stration against the Americans.
This club represents the Nation
al party, and is composed of col
ored people. There wore 1,000
persons present. One prominent
politician said that the time was
nearly ripe for the spirit of free
Cuba to leap from the grave of
Macoo and drive the intruders
from the island.
All criticised President McKin
ley’s Cuban policy, although Gen.
Quinden Bat dera made a mild
speech, advising patience until the
American policy had been fully
defined.
Bandera says he fears the Cu
bans will finally accept annexa
tion.
The local press violently criti
cises President McKinley’s mes
sage.
As a cure for rheumatism Chamber
lain’s Pain Balin is gaining a wide rep
utation. D. B. Johnston of Uicnmond,
Ind., has been troubled with that ail
ment since 1862. In speaking of it he
says: “I never found anything that
would relieve me until I used Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm. It acts like mag
ic with me. My foot was swollen and
paining me very much, but one good
application of Pain Balm relieved me.

THE BOERS FLEE
From British Bayonets.
The Doughty Dutch Can’t Stand
Cold Steel.
London. —With the exception of
Sunday’s sortie at Ladysmith,
which the morning papers are
unanimous in regarding as a bril
liant piece of work, there are liu
further advices from the seat of
war.
A war office dispatch reports
that Mafeking was safe up to Dec.
4, but that the Boers had been
shelling the town since Nov. 27,
with increased effect. Rations
had been considerably reduced,
meat by half a pound and bread
by a quarter of n pound in view of
a probable siege. Water, howev
er, was still plentiful. The Boers
fear the British bayonets. This
is illustrated in the full accounts
now arriving of previous sorties.
It seems that in Sir Archibald
Hunter's sally from Ladysmith to
capture the Boer guns the British
did not carry Bayonets. While
they were storming the hill the
Boers, suddenly aroused from
sleep, rushed to the edge and
opened an indiscriminate fire upon
them. But just before the British
secured a footing on top of the
hill some one among them shouted :
“Fix bayonets aud give them cold
steel.”
At this the Boers turned and
fled into the darkness..
Little mention is made in the
war office dispatches of horses, but
it is understood the losses in this
respect have been exceedingly
heavy. Among the officers alone
20 or 80 of their mouuts have been
shot under them, the Boers’ tac
tics being fit to shoot at an officer’s
horse and then at the rider when
dismounted.
Gen. Gatacre’s disaster atStorm
berg has been attributed to lack
of knowledge of the country. Ac
cording to the Daily Telegraph,
when the war began there were no
official maps available at Cape
town, and therefore it is probable
that Gen. Gatacre is still without
them.
FRANCE URGED TO WAR.
Paris, Dec. 19.—The entire
French press urges a declaration
of war with England.
This is the result of an article i
in the Petit Journal, which says
that the Foreign Office has re
ceived proof that the recent dis
orders at Kwang Choo, China, j
which resulted in the murder of
French naval officers, were fo
mented by the British.
“Now,” says the paper, “is the
time for France to avenge Fasho
da.”
There is a horrible rumor afloat
that Com Paul whiskers will be

At Stamford, in Connecticut, a
man has just been expelled from
the Methedist church for praying
and shouting too loudly. He be
longs to that school which in Con
necticut is called “shouting Meth
odists,” and insists upon his right
to be demonstrative whenever he
feels happy. The other members
of the flock from which he has
been expelled tried to prevail upon
him to be less noisy, but he only
shouted the louder; therefore they
concluded that the only way they
could secure quiet and harmony
in their worship would be to get
rid of the noisy member.
