Mr Edward Jones , who reside ? in Alexan
dria , Va. , was splitting some oak wood ono
ivening , recently , when ho came across ono
.iloco that was very bard so sdlit. Ho was
ibout to give it up when it came apart. Near
he center of it was a snake about ten inches
n length , around which the wood had grown ,
'ho piece of wood in which the snake was
ound wns eighteen inches in diameter , and
onxcquontly the snake must have been Inhere
hero many years. A largo number of peiuons
ave called to see it , From the size of the
vood and it * slow growth , it is thought the
optilo must have bccomo imprisoned a bun-
cod years ago. The most most curious part
f the affair is that the snake Is not hard and
lotrlfied , but , on the contrary , is soft and Ilex-
bio. Mr. Jones has had several offers for the
ileco of wood In which tht snake Is Imbedded ,
nit refuses to sell , and will take It to the
National museum in Washington.

Doctor Cello , of Paris , has found that twon-
, y to twenty-live per cent of children hear
only vvithiu a limited range. A practical re
sult of this discovery is that children are now
ilacod at such a distance from the teachers'
leak as will correspond with their strength of
tearing. The matter does not appear to have
juon thought of before , but its obvious impor-
lance is now likely to attract attention from
our teachorH.
The annual report of the superintendent of
public Instruction , in New York , shows that

The Springfield MaB. , Union discusses the
subject of moral teaching In public schools nnc
declares that a misconception of the principles
ot moral growth underlies tha demand for text-
Look lessons in ethics sandwiched in somewhere -
where between the arithmetl > and the pram-
mar. "What the boys aud girls supremely
need as they appro icfi tha years of responsi
ble activity , " sav- > The Union , "is not an easy
familiarity with a set uf moral rnloi though
that is good as far an it goes but a quicken
ing of the moral feelings. There is no sura
way of becoming good as through the dally
effort to do good. Let the teachers ancourago
their pupils in doing helpful things for each
other. Lnt them foster a generous cooperation
tion , so developing what we may call the active
moral faculties. "
For several months the Yale faculty have

' For tha Freshman and Sophomore years
the schema will ba substantially as It is now ,
with an option for the student between Frond

these two studios , or either of them , through
the whole four years of the course , and the
name Is true of classics and mathematics. Iu
Junior years seven-fifteenths of the student's
work will bo given to the two required cour
ses for that year , constating (1) ( ) of astronomy ,
logic , and psychology , aud (2) ( ) of physics am :
geology. Iu senior years moutal and tnora !
philosophy are the only studies absolutely re
quired In distinction from optlonals. Tha
work of that year Is Intended to supplement
the courses of tha earlier years , aud to bo
adapted to the particular calling which tin
Senior Intends to adopt In life. Political
economy apnoara In tha tlnal year as a Senior
optional , English literature comes iu as an
optional study of Junior year , aud can be
pursued until graduation.
