in other words the iusuivent pays the one with the proceeds o! the sale of the other's merchandise.These and similar cases are of frequent oocurrence, but by far the most common cause of oumbiaibt is the extravagant personal expenditures of the individuals who compose some of the mercantile firms who come to grief.What muat be thought of a man who, knowing tbat he is practically an insolvent, nevertheless enn- tinues to draw from his businese, and spend or his own personal extravaganoes, sums of money that onuld only be Justified by his being in absolute and secure possession ot a fortune ?And yet we are frequently called upon to chronicle the fact of a meeting of creditors where the estate will only pay a few oents on the dollar, and where the members of the firm have been drawing out and spending sums that stagger those who live within their meaos, and endeavor to pay a hundred cents upon the dollar.That such things should exist and be allowed to go on from year to year without awakening a protest even from the men who lose their money in this manner is à sad commentary on the state of our commercial morality.Men, who by the personal expenditure of money that does not belong to them, or by trickery, transgiess the laws of commercial honesty should be made to feel, by the force of public opinion, that riches or social importance obtained in such manner are rot by-the loss of the good opinion respect ot thelr neighbors, and that it is much more advantageous, even froin a worldly point of view, to bave an unsullied name than to have great riches.Let them not live so as to justify Goldsmith's lines: * Where wealth and freedom reign content ment fails, And honor sinks where commerce long pre- THE INDUSTRIAL ELEMENT IN EDUCATION.Much bas been said of the need for indus- ' trial education as a preparation fur practical life in the case of a large proportion of those who attend school.There is another aspéct of the case, however, which perbaps of even more importance, and wi can be urged without encountering the objections that are sometimes made when industrial education i3 urged on the ground first mentioned.In.s democratic community, it Is sald, there is no knowing who will be the workman in aiter life The son of tboiling parents may be the millionaire of tweuty years bence; and this youth who was bred in luxury may be fighting with poverty ; therefore why pre- parc one rather than the ther for Industrial life?\u201cThere are no classes,\u201d say some, \u201cin American society.\u201d No distinctions can theñafore be made in any systeni of education administered by the State; What is good for one must be good for all.Duless, therefore, all are to be prepared for manual trades none should be.Buch is the argument, and heretofore It has been wielded with considerable effect.If, however, instead of regarding industrial education as a preparation for subsequent indystrial employment, we regard It as a useful element in the education of all and an indispensable element in tha education of many, the preceding objection will vanish.Now experiment bas proved that, in the case of slow and feeble-minded children, the readiest ao0ess to such intelligence as they possess lies through their ao- tive faculfles.Lhe chisel character- istio of this lass of children is their inabll- ity to grasp abstract propositions on gener-* al rules.This weskness, however, which In their case assumes the proportions of feeble- mindedness is one whigh they share ,n greater or less degree with Lhe vast majority of children.The child, in fact, who has a taste for abstractions and for gemeraliz- ing can hardly be said to bein a healthy stave of mind.His faculties are not developing in due order; and the chances are that Jin mature life he will ind himself stranded on the shoala of an arid logic, with no motive power by which he can float hime self \u2018off again.It follows therefore that if, in the case of distinctly feeble minded children, theeducatiôn of their perceptivé and aotive faculties in various kinds of handiwork has proved ol inestimable advantage, s similar education would greatly aid the natural unfolding of the powers of all childfen.Every one issware that the great fault of ordinary teaching is that, for the most part, | outsids the minds of children and ay falls away, like ill-tempered mortar.The children do not recognize any reality in the things taugnt, and therefore do not lay hola of them with asy strong grasp.Even those of retentive memory are.generally speaking.little influenced; their iatelitkence ta but slightly advanced by what they\u2019 that during times of prosperity ie hidden | Instead Gf procending thus, we begin, with abatrections, and let the eblid struggle towards practice as best It may.And what of people whose thinking, when they do think, is utterly barren.They were tot taught 1a early cbidhood to take tinguish facts, tobe guided by the natural possibilities of each set of circumstances In \u2018which they ind thamselves placed; consequently they do nat know bow to take anything practically, and life is with them a series of mistakes apd disappointments.The Kindergarten system, now becoming so widespread, is a step in ths right direction; but the principle needs a wider application, In all our schools and collages provision should be made for reaching ths reflective and logical faculties through lhs activé and perceptive ones.In that one prinoiple, we believe, lies the greatest reform which is yet to take place in our educational systems.NOTE AND COMMENT.\u2014 Genius is but the lifting up tp helr bigh- est potency of sentiments aud ideas the equal birthright ot countless ada that tan never give ex expression to them in song or story Houston A good many peo] Le have about made u their minds that it cheaper to walk keep warm than to ride 1n a street car and freeze.About the time they n practising this preity generally you will see heat log @ apparatus placed in the cars.\u2014Chicago oF he has been the political corruptor of others, bis bittoreat opponents must allow that he baa hi been incorrupt;

Itis wade by setting four posts in the ground, at any desired distance apart, 12 or 16 feet is a very good for such a house.These poets should be 4x4, at about every 2 feet apart.2x4 studs are nalled to the boards which form the wall, the boards being nailed on horizontally.There is no necessity for any special care in making the joints anymore than as tight.as dry lumber will\u201d make them.An inner wall is then built up as sbown, by nailing boards to the ends of 2x4 scantlings and fastening these inner atuds to tho outer ones by a few cross pieces of board as shown.Then the wall is tinished one side at a time.This method prevents the walls from spreading, and makes a space of a foot or 16 inches for the sawdust or other packing.The inside is mude smooth and the boards are simply set with the edges close together.If they- are matched, and tongue and grooved it will be all the better but it is not indispensible: A plates spiked on to ithe top and the roof is finished as shown.The lower door is made doublé by puttiug cross boards inside of the doorway as the joe is put in and filling the space between the doors with straw.The filling is completed at the top door, which when the ice is covered may be left open for ventilation, -or an air shaft or cupola may be put in the roof for this purpose.[he doorway should always face the north.Ioe should be cut in even sized hlocks, so that it will pack closely.24x16 is a good size and the blocks may be laid in broken joints, 2 rows lengthwise and 3 sidewise will match evenly.There is no need for inside packing at thesides in a house built in-this way.A good bed of it however, required 6n'the top.The seams between thy: blocks of ice shonid be filled with pounded ice swept in with a broom to close in all air \"be filled on _ = cold day and should be thon from old to ous oats in the te 5 bitten ok a he first eymp- tom of an attack of colic a manifestation 1of distros.the animal \u201chis tion dater of lying down and almost imme- | again.In\u2019ä few minè these sy: oma sure likely to disa and C1 the horse apparentiy easy;
