THE TROUBLES OF A SCHOOL TEACHER

The Colonial Brogue. The Bulletin has the following sketch of the difficulties of teachera in publics schools in the matter of educating the young eolomal in the proper pronunciation of the English language. The scene is kid in a echool in New South Wales:— Sentence to be read—" Let him set a wet r»g." Scholar—" Lat "— Teacher—"Let—l-e-t, let)." Scholar—"Let'im." •J?.—"JTOim." S.— « Hhkim" T.

Moreover, the teacher is supposed also to be superintending another class ab a writing.lesson. I

Not Even If It Cost Twenty Shillings.

A notable percentage- about one-third I think—-of the power of a steam engine is used up m overcoming the frietich of it own partß. .Hence inventors are con stantly testing < erices to reduce frictitn. Vat they can never overcome it j and the ret-i?tante created by is rppreaents power (.ind hence expenso also) absolutely ios i Now (he human body is a machine pro pelled by heat, exactly as an engine ia ; aid anything that retards it may be con sidered as friction. Very good, then. Yon have noticed great differenc a in your own vigour. Some days you work s asiSy, and on others with difficulty, Thu.

If- is the odds betw. en walking on smooth, hard level ground and drag sing yourself uphill through wet el'y. What wouldn't lawyers, au'hors, clergy, taorij and all other brain-workervs give for si.instiling having tho power to keep lheir nvuds clear and strong ? Or Ixdy-workers tor something that would prevent aching, •.vi<akm.s9, and fatigue ? Do Ikn >w wha? ; will do it? No, i don'c. If I did I oouid retail the secret for more money vhnu ia stowed away in the Bank cf England, But. Ido know on* thing, and will tell it to you in a minute—for nothing. First, however, we will talk of Mr J B, Goss and the faction he tried so long o overcome. Mr Goss ia a large farmer living at Stradsett, near Downham Market Norfolk, and is well known in his dis trict. When the farmers meet on market days he often epeaks of his experience j and how he came out of it. In order to cover it all h« has to go back fifteen years—to about., 1878. At chat time he began to feel the signs of some disease which he could neither account for nor understand. At first he merely realised that he was out of con dition. His work became less a pleasure and more cnl more a task. From his business his thoughts turned upon himself, and no man can work well in that form. Then he and his victuals be gan to disagree, which is a state of thlngp to make a man ask what can the reason be?

He had a well-provided tabl«, of course ; J yet he often sat down to his meals and couldn't touch a morsel. Mr Gobs kpew that this would never do. If a man ex pects to live, he must eat. There are no two ways about that. So he ate more or less—although nob much—without the stimulus of an appetite; he forced it dbwa, as you may say. But this wouldn't do either. When the stomach goes on strike it can't be whipped into working before the question at issue ''s properly settled. Thus it ended tn his having great pun and tightness at his sides and chest. ' I was constantly belching up a sour fluid,' he says, * which ran out of my mouth like vinegar, I had a horrible sensation ac the stomach for which I was not able to find any relief. For nights together I could get) no sleep ; and in this general condition I continued for five years, no medicine or medical treatment doing more than to abate some of the worst symptoms for tha time being.

♦ In, the early part of 1863 I heard of a medicine which was said to do good in cases like mine. Whether it would help me of course I had no idea, After so many things have failed, one natural y has no faith in a new one, Yet I got a supply and began with it. In a short time it was plain that 1 had come up n the real remedy at last. My food agroed with me, and soon all pa n and diatrecs gradually left me. Since then (now ttn years ago) I have kept in tha best ot health, It I or any of my family ail any thing, a dose of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrnp—the medicine that cured me— soon sets ns right. We have no need of a doctor. (Siejned) J. B. Goss, March 24ih, 1893.'

Mr Goss once said that if Seigal's Syrnp cost 203 a bootle he would not ba without ifc In his house. We can ea'ly beliave him. Considering what ifc did for hfm — and does for others—it would be cheap it any price. Ye=i, like plenty of frbi gs of tha highest practical value, it costs bat little. The reader can imagine under what difficulty and friction Mr Goes must have done what work he did during those fire years' suffering with indigestion end dyspepsia. This then, we know ; that life's friction and loas of power corns chiefly from that single disease, and chat ease arises from the use 0! Seigel's greab discovery.

A Boat with Fins.

Swiftly Profiled by thr Action of tr| Wavks~New Motive Fobob. Ton isfcs a«- Naples (his spring hare noticed a JHlle open boat, which set out seaward whenever the sea was rou^h, and particu lar when the freaoherou* tiiocoo sent the turbulent waves spraying over* the stone coping of the Via Carraciolo. Once having noticed the little frail shell, the fact of iti going out in he ivy weather seemed so muoh more strange since ib was impossible to tell how it moved about. The single person seated in the boat did not row, there was no sail, no smokestack was visible, no wheel, no screw, no boiler, no engine; none of the metal parts unavoidable in motors of any kind, and no noise indicating any of the ordinary motive powers, which man has made a tributary. At the rodder the man was calmly seated directing the little ihell wherever he wanted to go. What was driving the lUtle boat through the turbulent waves? Its inventor and constructor, secretary Linden, of the zoo. logical station at Naples, kindly explained the simple and exceedingly clever invention, which ho has just patented in several countries, and which is to be introduced both in the German and Austrian navies. The forward and aft ends of the boat are provided with vertical steel rods; at the end of these steel rods, which are dipped in the sea, wedge-shaped plates of spring steel of great firmness are fastened honzontioally with the wide and thin end away from the boat. When these pliable plates are made to vibrate by means of the movement of the waves, they set like the fins of a fish, and drive the boat forward. Not the waves alone furuieh the power, for in perfectly still water the mere pitching of the vessel will result in a forward movement. The lowering or raising ot the steel rods with the fine is an easy matter, and the fins tbem> selves can be attached or detached by a simple mechanism in a very few moment!. A trial with the small model of such a boat in one of the basins of the aquarium at the station is highly amusing and surprising at the sams time, '1 he toy is perfectly still when pace 1 in the Water, but as soon as little waves are produced in the basin with the hand or a small board, the toy starts as if driven by witchcraft. The power developed is rather considerable, and it is best compared with the pull exered by a kite in a brisk wind. The new boat, which the inventor has called the Autonaut, is nob exactly a boat without a motor, but one without the ordinary motive powers—as a matter of fact, the steel fin vibrated by the motion of the water is the motor of the Autonaut. Secretary Lindon first conceived the idea of the new motive force while observing the movement of the fishes in thn aquarium, particularly the tail motions, the most im portant, apparently, in the locomotion of the finny tribe. After many years' experi ments, calculations and improvements, his last boat,-'which is thirteen feet long, has recently tun against a strong wind and tide in the Gulf of Naples at the rate of three uiid a half miles an hour. The steel fins were together about ten square fe6t in size, ■i.'id ho has by experiments established the bos! size to be about one-third of the sur face upuu which the boat is resting. The fiuß, which were first made ot several layers of thin spring tstee!, are now wroughtoufcofone pieoks, and the most effec ive shape is that of lha dolphin's tail tin. 'The new boat can be ! steered in the ordinary manner, and will i draw another boat heavier thau it is itself. i The apparatus is eh- ap, and can be supplied j to any l;oac even if ib hue other motive I power. No matter liow little wind, the tide movement alono is f.ufficient to impart uuoKgh moti'M) to the waves to propsl the boat., provided with Linden fans. The greatest fieifl of the Lin :cn boat, however, and where its value is inestimable, is in the use of life-saving appara'us which has to travel abort distances in almost always heavy weather. The crew would arrive at the sprit whore they &re wanted iv excellent condition and would be of much more help to a sbipwieckcd crew, than now, when they arrive after dreadful aud often useless efforts '■ against (he overwhelming odds of waves and wind, combined.— Philadelphia Record,
