THE ART OF COMPOSITION.
How it in TntiRlit In the German
Schools.
1 Oorrcspomlfnc * Ikislon Journal ,
In still another branch Imvo tlio
Germans succeeded. Amoricnn tench-
cm know to their sorrow the difficul
ty encountered in educating scholars
to bo easy writers -that is to write
what is generally known to us ns
essays or compositions. The fault lies
hero just where it docs in all our
other higher studies it is not begun
early enough. Wp wait until wo
think tlmt their minds nro n trillo
inaluro nnd then como upon them
with a wild rush of rhetoric , history
nnd nil tlio frightful curriculum ,
German girls begin to write essays
wlicn they nro about 0 yearn and con
tinue to do it , not once n month or
twice a quarter , but every week of
the school year until they nro 10 or 18
years of nge. For tlio first year it
takes the form merely of n dictation
with an occasional original essay.
Twelve Gorman poems are learned
clurhtg the year and may nlso bo used
ns material for compositions in prose.
Entering the class above this , I found
n method in progress , certainly very
strnnga to the most American schools ,
Tlio teacher wna n contloman ; tlio
girls were Ion years old on an avcrago.
Standing out before the class , ho
began to toll thorn the fable of the
woman whoso hen laid for hnr daily a
golden egg a story told so simply ,
every word of it weighed so carefully ,
every idea expressed , with tlio nemo of
precision nnd nil in n voice so low
nnd distinct thnt the class sat hushed
na ho spokp , nnd moved not n muscle
till ho finished. Ho then began it
again , pausing this time nt the end of
every sentence to talk it over with
the school , asking what nouns , what
verbs , what nujoctivos , they had
noticed ns ho talked. In this mnn-
ncr ho carried them through the fable
to the end. Finally ho called upon
ono littlp girl to repeat what she
could of it. Where she failed others
came in to help hor. Then another
girl took up tno story and told it
bettor , until , nftor ninny times told ,
the fable had entered all thcao little
minds nnd become n fixed mental
possession , nnd when the master
asked : "Now , do you know it quite
well ? " "Doch ! " "Dochl" "Jn , ja !
gowissl" went np in n shout from all
parts of the room.
"Well , write nil you know nbout it
and bring it to mo Monday. "

Bnti Francisco Chronicle , July 3.
The St. Loum papers note an im
portant improvement which is now
being made in the bai go system of
grain transportation on the Mississippi
which will give still greater advan
tages to the river over the rail routes
to the seaboard than those now
possessed. This improvement is a
perfect system of ventilation , which
has been introduced by Capt. Lowrey ,
president of the St. Louis & Now
Orleans Transportation Company ,
It consists of openings on each Hide of
the barge , through which the air
possess into and through a space between
twoon the hull and exterior of the
sides and bottom of the barge , and
also a funnel box running from the
dock to the grain room. A ntitl'
current of air is passing through this
intermural apace and through the
funnel all the time , and keeps the
corn or wheat fresh and dry ; so that a
cargo of wheat in ono of these venti
lated barges could remain all summer
on the water without injury. As a
matter -of fact the barge system has
worked admirably without this im
provement , Sot the instances nro very
rare in which corn becomes heated on
the passage to Now Orleans. The
- , woighor'at Now Orleans , for example ,
"reports that of the 30,000 bushels of
wheat recently shipped from St. Paul
by way of Now Orleans for Liverpool ,
the pntiro loss , was only (50 ( 30-100
bushels , of which only 1A bushels
were damaged in transit by barges *
The loss from western points to Now
York is Bnid to nvorago 1 per cent.
The facts of actual experience demon ,
strato the groundlessness of the cry
that wheat shipped by the river louto
is liable to damage by becoming
heated. But the novy improvement
will , in connection with tno others
already in. operation , give the .rivor
route a.considerable a'dvantago over
the railroads , in respect of its scour
ing the grain from injury in transit ;
' for a perfect system of ventilation is
already established at Now Orleans in
connection with the elevators there ,
whereby the grain is thoroughly
blown in the process of transfer.
The boat practical testimony to the
advantage ofthe" ! rivor. route for the
shipment of'graln td the seaboard is
4ih6 reported , dotorifiitmtion of the
Chicago and trunk .railroads to reduce
the rates of grain from all points on
.tho Mississippi to the river prices.
But river prices nro capable , with in
creased facilities and larger capital
'employed in the business of river
transportation'of reduction to a point
far below the actual cost of transpor
tation , to , tlo | railroads , Hence it is
quite certain that the contemplated
action of the railroad companies.
nvhilo it may temporarily delay , will
not prevent the permanent establish
ment of the river route , and that soon ,
ns the main outlet of grain exportation -
tion for the states of the Mississippi
"Valloy. One great obstacle to the
rapid development of the river
trallio is that most of the railroad
Hues touching at river points nro
nloiiK oastand west lines terminating
at Chicago and intersecting the river
011 their way thither from the remote
termini on the Western plains.

"How ' like the ' "
d'yo now pa'son }
asked Mrs. Bartlebon , asshe * rested
"her chin on the fence , and eyed tin
wash that 'Mrs. Spocklowiggin was
busy lumping out.
"Ho is very gifted , specially-
pra'r , " replied Mrs , Bpocklowiggin
taking a clothespin out of her mouth
"We arq setter n Teat deal of ston
by him. Have you hoard that ho wa
very attractive to Minervy ? "
"I Aboard tliat Minorvy uald so , '
$ igglod lira , Baftlbb'cn , "but the fact
.jslie's droppui * in evpry night to sei
hey my Sopjianisby'snoul is. go tin' 01
uho's a likelygal and if hois gospulin
wound hero for a spare rib. ho can *
do better than Sophanisby,1'
"I KUOM that's so. " retorted ; Mothe
Bpocklowiggin. "She's thin onougl
und you can got along without her. 1
the pa'son is in want o' that kind i
goods , you'vo got cm on draught.
Minorvy is makin * some lambkins
for his parlor winders. Coma in some
time when yor hands nro clean and
bok nt 'cm
"Don't b'liovo I'll have time this
week. Ho cornea to ton every night ,
and mo and Sophnnisby is gcttin up
some now shirts and n book mark for
the pulpit./
"Now that's " said
, n good idcp ,
Mrs. Specklowiggin , with a grin. "I
don't know about the book mark , but
that pulpit needs some iiow shirts.
For gracious sake make a long flap ,
so's to cover the communion table ,
'cause-11
"Tho shirts are for the pa'son. " explained -
plained Mrs. Bartlobcn , with flashing
eyes. "Tho book mark is for the
pulpit. But of cottrso folks who only
goes to church to marry their darter
would only consider the part that
wears shirts. Beside that we're mak-
in1 up some bed quilts for him. "
"Then , for goodness sake , don't ' line
'em with paper. If thoros anythin1
that Minorvy can't stand its paper-
lined quillfl and you know she 11 hov
to sleep under anything you make for
the pa'son. She said yesterday , ' 'Ma ,
everything I do for the dear pa'son
will bo in blue , cause that suits his
complexion , And so it does. She's
getting up some lamp mats in blue
this very minute. "
"You don't toll , " snorted Mother
Barllobon , "my Sophanisby was going
to make some lamp mats , but the pa
son said , 'Bisby , dear , ' ho calls nor
Bisby : said ho , 'Bisby , dear , no lamp
mats , please. If you must do some-
thin' for the church , nmko mo some
underclothing of red flannel. ' You
know Sophanisby is very dark. That's
why ho wanted "em rod. Then she is
makin' n yellow footstool for him , and
ho says ho will alway.s prize it 'cause
it will remind him o' the sunsets in
which ho sot around with hor. "
"How beautiful his ideas flows ! "
murmured Mrs. Specklowiggin , cast
ing up her oyes. "That sunset is so
poetical , nnd the yeller is so apt to re
mind him of Sophanisby ! Always
said ho was masterful in expressing
things. Minorvy is making a grcon
cushion for his cane bottom cliairand
some time when wo ain't very busy ,
you might como to the winder and
see it. "
"If you expect him to sit on it ,
you'd better send it inter our house ,
nnd toll her to make it wide enough
for two , or it'll never bo used , " quoted
ftladam Bartlobon. "Grcon is a geed
idea as representing how Minorvy will
look when the koords como out for the
wedding , Sophanisby is spinnin' a
red fish line for him now. "
"Wall , isn't that lucky ? I knowcd
she'd do most anythin' to catch him ,
and told Minorvy so , and she's om-
broiilurin' some claims for bait. "
"That's like her "
just ! exclaimed
Mrs. Bartlobon , in admiration. "Sho
knows what she's accustomed to bite
at and she thinks he'll land her !
Isn't it a pity sho's so old and fat ? "
"That a story ! " howled Mrs.
Specklowiggin. "Causo she don't
look like it bent hair pin , as
Sophanisby does. You think she's fat.
She's lost five pounds this week ! "
"OhI goodness gracious mo ! Oh !
the brazen huzzy ! No woundor wo
haven't seen her around 1 I always
thought oh ! and she has boon tryin'
to associate with my Spphanisby !
When is it going to bo baptized ? "
But a shower of clothespins broke
OIF the theological discussion , and the
worthy Christians separated , neither
understanding that the "pa'son was
engaged to n widow up town. "
The Premier of Birds.
Five hundred dollars for n bird
would seem to most people to bo high
price to pay for any kind of tJiu
feathered tribe , but that is the sum
asked for a parrot. Ho is owned by
Mr. George II. Holdon , of the Sixth
avenue bird store. Now York , and
wonderful statements are made of the
sayings of this remarkable bird. Par
rots llvo to bo a hundred yearg old.
This follow is only five years old , and
seems to bo in a fair way to entertain
Homo wealthy family at the second
centennial anniversary of America's
independence. Ho in n purn African
gray , very handsome , and has boon
named "Jim Blaine , " as ho is looked
up to as the premier of all birds. Mr.
Holdon assures us that the bird is the
best-trained ono in America ; that ho
can whistle a jig , n French march , and
sing n song with words. He crows ,
barks mews and cackles ; mimics a
mocking bird , pops a champagne cork
and imitates water bubbling. But the
most wonderful entertaining accom
plishments of this sc'ansorial bird in
his talking powers , being able nt this
time to distinctly enunciate over ono
hundred and fifty sentences , and ho
acquires now sayings every day. At
this rate ho will make a fine conversa
tionist by the time ho is 75 years
old. Ho says ( wo have space for only
a few sentences ) : Hello , Jim ! Look
out , I will bite you ! Como over hero
and wo will have some fun. How is
your grandmother ? You wouldn't bite
your uncle ! There's an old black dog.
Poor old cat ' 11 have to go to bed.
Bad Jittlo baby. What's the matter
old cat ? Pook-a-boo ! how's that ? How
do you do , old Yankee Doodle ? Whoa
back ! what are you about ! How do
you do ? Give us your flipper. Jim-
nib's a real nice follow when he's
mind to. Can't you give your uncle n
good one ? ( Smacks for kisses. ) I will
put a head on you and you will have
to go to bed , and don't you forget it.
Bow-wow-wow , there's n big dog.
Poor old cat , Kitty , Kitty , Kitty , poor
old cat. flood-by !
Good-Bye.
Did you over hear two married
women take leave of oaoh other at the
gate on a mild evening ? This is how
they doit ; "Good-bye ! " "Good-bye !
Como down and see us soon. " "I
will. Good-byo ! " "Good-bye ! Don't
forgot to como soon. " "No , I won't.
Don't you forgot to como up. " "I
won't. Be sure and brim/ Sarah Jane
with you next time. " "I will. I'd
have brought her up this time , but
she wasn't very well. She wanted
to como awfully. " " Did she
now ? That was too bad ! Bo sure
and bring her next time. " "I will ;
and you bo sure and bring the baby. "
"I will. I forgot to tell you that's
he's cut another tooth. " "You don't
ay ? How many has ho now ? " "Five ,
It makes him awfully cross , " I ware
say it docs , this hot weather , Well ,
good-bye ! Don't you forgot to como
dqwn , "No , I won't. Don't ypu
forget to come up. Good-bye ! "
they separate.
