O honest face, which all men knew! O tender heart, but known to few! O wonder of the age,

Cut off by tragic rage!

And, children, you must come in bands.

With garlands in your little hands,
Of blue and white and red,
To strew before the dead.

So sweetly, sadly, sternly goes
The Fallen to his last repose.
Beneath no mighty dome,
But in his modest home;

The churchyard where his children rest,

The quiet spot that suits him best, There shall his grave be made, And there his bones be laid.

And there his countrymen shall

come,

With memory proud, with pity dumb,

And strangers far and near,
For many and many a year.

For many a year and many an age,
While History on her ample page
The virtues shall enroll
On that Paternal Soul.

QUOTATIONS FROM GREAT AMERI-
CANS.

Interwoven is the love of liberty with every ligament of the heart.Washington.

To persevere in one's duty, and to be silent, is the best answer to calumny. Washington.

If principle is good for anything, it is worth living up to. - Franklin.

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens. Webster.

Let us have faith that right makes

might, and, in that faith, let us to the end dare to do our duty. Lincoln.

Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived. — Lincoln. Knavery and flattery are blood relations. — Lincoln.

From Lincoln's First Inaugural Address March 4, 1861.

Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him. who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty.

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

One flag, one land, one heart, one hand,

One nation evermore. Holmes.

A politician thinks of the next election; a statesman, of the next generation.-James Freeman Clarke.

One on God's side is a majority. -Wendell Phillips.

Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with False

hood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight,

FIG. 2. R is a receiver made from lantern globe. It is covered by a small piece of glass.

An experiment beautiful and instructive is suggested by reference to Fig. 2. Bend a glass tube as shown in illustration, leaving the arms of equal length and long enough to reach the bottom of the bottles. Fit the cork and tube of the left-hand bottle air tight but cut a small V shape air passage full length along the side of cork of the right-hand bottle. Fill half full with indigo water the left-hand bottle, connect as shown in figure and exhaust. See how many pupils in your school can explain why the liquid is transferred. You may drive the liquid back and forth as often as you wish by readmitting the air and exhausting again. This is often called the Bacchus Illustration. Why?

Exp. 13. The Magic Cork. Select a close-grained cork, size to fit a 5 cent vaseline bottle. Moisten or oil the cork, insert in bottle,

put under receiver and exhaust. By a little practice you will soon be able to adjust the cork so that it will jump up against the top of the receiver. Explain just how the fifteen pounds pressure outside the bottle has been removed and how the fifteen pounds pressure inside forces. out the cork. In the so-called cyclones, the pressure outside a house is sometimes much reduced so that the inside pressure bursts the walls outward.

Exp. 14. To Boil Water Without Fire.

Pour slowly into a 4 ounce bottle one-third filled with water enough sulphuric acid to fill it twothirds full, stirring the liquid constantly. When it becomes much heated place under receiver and exhaust. The water will soon boil violently although much below the normal boiling point. If you prefer to modify this experiment place a bottle of water somewhat below boiling point under receiver and proceed as above. If your pump works well you will be much surprised at the low temperature of the violently boiling water. The reduced pressure explains to your pupils why it is not possible to boil eggs and potatoes in open vessels on high mountains.

Exp. 15. Freezing Produced by the Air Pump.

Place a spoonful of ether in a watch crystal or other shallow, wide-mouthed vessel and into the
