Mrs. Margaret Treadwell. of Milburn. Long Island, in an interview hatl with her on the I'tth day of May. IS'..", said: "Two years ago I had the Jrippe. ana since tlun I Law never been real smart. Nothing that I ate seemed to set well on my stomach. I ain't heen much of a Land for doctoring, but I tried different kinds of herb teas, hut they didn't seem to do much good Catnip was the best, but I got Lind of set against that. One day " a lady asked me if I would try Mune of her medicine Ilipaus Tabules she called them. They seemed harmless-like, and Kiehard he took .some too. and whatever they are made of I don't know, but they beat all the herb teas, and we ain't felt so well in years. We work on the farm all day now and cat our three regular meals, and all kinds of victuals seems to agree with us. My advice is. don't 1 other with herb teas when you can get these Itipans Tabules, and don't hesitate, as 1 did. about taking them. They won't hurt you.

Over thirty years ago "Chambers' Journal" contained an account of a visit to the Maid of Athens by sn l'nglish traveler, who found her an old woman, utterly destitute of any attraction, and at the time of his visit engaged in washing clothing for .some of her numerous grandchildren.

NOTES AEOUT SCHOOLS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT. Comparisons lietwecn Schools in the Coimtrj DistrictMundThose iu Towns uitil Ci t ich I.I nc on Which Youns 3Icn Should I'ur&uc Knowlcilsc. ITngratleil v. (radcil Schools. I'vtTy now and tlion sonn oii soniewluTt' inakos a comparison lictwocn tho sc1hh1s in the country district, wlicre terms are short, salaries low and the teachers' tenure often brief, and the schools of towns and cities, where terms are long, salaries fair, and where teachers are practically permanent. These comparisons generally result adversely to the hm.sjr term schools. Here is what :v school director said several years a.o: "Onr children learn as much in six months as yours in ten. Their whole time is jrivon to school work while the schools are in session, while, your cliillireit in town are absorbed in all kinds of amusements." The second port of his statement I think is true. I am sorry that I niut acknowledge this coiieorniiiir the town schools. AY hat about Hie liist statement'.' Let us see. At the time this assertion was made there were two or three irls from our schools teaching in llii.s director's district. Those trirts they were not women were not much older than their pupils, in some cases not so old. Why were these outsiders employed V AYcro I hey employed from philanthropic motives? 1 think not. AVere they employed because the youns ladies of the rural district found an easier way to earn their pin money'.' I think not. They employed teachers front towns because liiere were none of their school sills ijualilied to do the "work. The people who make these com parisons leave out of the problem one very important factor, viz.: that durinix the Ions vacation a vast amount of what was jraincd durins Hie brief school term, has been forsotten when the next term besins. These com parisons are often made to shield dis tricts wilh short terms. If a few influential people, a director or two. can impress upon the people of the district that their children learn as much in six months as the children of the neishborins town learn in ten months, the taxes can be kept down by keeping up

the old salary and the short term. Sometimes, however, another element comes in that may not be so easily met. The idea that the instruction in the ungraded sechools is better suited to pro, pare pupils for the duties of life. This is the view that a Michigan school director takes of the case. He says: "It is a strange commentary that in our ungraded schools throughout the country children attending school from four to six mouths per year for a period of from six to eight years are better educated and prepared to filter upon the ordinary duties of life than the majority of children after the full course of eight or ten months per year." If this statement is true, if it is true to any degree whatsoever, long term schools should set about to lind out the reason. Is it because the ungraded schools take a narrow course and thus study some things so thai they know them while towns have such broad courses that pupils leave schools without knowing any one subjen-t? "Ordinary duties of life" may have many meanings. If it means to do work that requires no thinking I believe that a short term pupil or possibly a person who can scarcely read, or write his n;ime, is the best living nu'.cliiu;' to do it. Are the town schools as practical as they should be? Do they educate pupils away from manual labor? Do they educate girls to despise housework? IVrsotis who advertise for clerks or copyists at starvation wages and those who are looking for "help" for the house at fair wages, could answer this question far better than the l iiited States Commissioner of Education. 1 believe that we lose ."O pw rent, of the educational energy that we put into the schools, but this cannot be remedied by invidious comparisons. Much of it can be remedied by a thorough reexamination of the underlying principles of education, and an earnest inquiry as to what kind of training we need for the active duties of life. Not what was needed years ago. but what is needed now. --Educational .News. Ca une and EÜYct in C.eouraphy. It is a growing belief that knowledge to be of any worth must be related to other knowledge. Many teachers of geography may seem to grasp the conviction just stated in an Impersonal way ami not come to a full realization of the fact that they are still going on lu the same old fashion in teaching

that branch. AA'hen pupils understand that the lesson on AVind and the lesson on IIa in-faI, siveii in the first part of the larse scosraphy. have vital connection with the study of every State and country on the shbe. then they may picture largely in advance what will b said concerning the productions and occupations of any locality bv noting the elevation, latitude, proximity of mountains, and the seas and oceans. To make this matter understood, a few questions applied by the teacher may show her whether or not the matter of cause and effect does not play an important part in her work. Our lesson to-day. let us say, is Texas. A'ery much of the State, the book tells us. Is dry. Comparatively pule rain falls in AYestern Texas. The rain-fall about the riulf of Mexico is greater. AYhy is this? Has the lesson on the prevailing winds of the temperate zones anything to do with it V Has rain-fall anything to do with the occupation and productions of Texas? If so. what? Contrast Texas with Florida and. applying the same questions, what would be the answer'.' Suppose Hie class is studying llussia. Is it of any value for pupils to know the effect of a large body of very Cold water touching the laud on the north? I so. what is the effect? How long are the summers of Northern Uussia? AA'hy are they so short? AVhat of the surface of Northern Kussia? Can corn be raised to any advantage there? If so, why? If not, why? Can evergreen trees grow there? If s why? If not, why? Can trees like the birch and maple thrive in Northern Itusda? If so. why? If not. why? AYhy do not th' Russians cut down the forests of Northi-m I insula so that the laud may be cultivated? AYhere are the furbearing animals of Uussia found? Io animals that produce tine fur naturally live in cold climates or in warm climates? Have vou ever seen a Mexican dog? Compare its coat of hair with the coat of hair of an Esquimaux dog that many may have seen. A A' hat makes this difference? The interior of Uussia, like the interior of the t'nited States. is subject, to extreme heat and extreme cold. Why is this? AA'hat lesson in the forepart of jhe geography has anything to do with giving the learner some enlightnient on this subject? In what part of Kussia do we find the best crops of grain? In what part of Uussia would fruit, like apples, grow and thrive? AYhy? AYhy do not app grow and thrive in Minnesota? AYhy do not oranges grow and thrive in Missouri? AATiy do not apples grow and

thrive In Florida V AVhat effect has climate on the productions of the soil? There are many questions in geography that cannot, be worked out by the laws of cause and effect: but there are many that can be. Knowledge that Is properly related and that comes not altogether from remembering what is on the printed page has more of vital interest in it. It conies' to stay and gives power to the learner. Lessons learned "out of the book." appealing only to the memory, are usually dull and stupid. It is not t!;e intention of the writer to tell how to teach geography. The design of this article is simply to cause the individual who reads it to ask himself or herself this question: "Are my methods based on iutcllig.-m e that will raus, the pupils to see something in the relation of past lessons or prist experiences to the present lesson? Missouri School Journal. Too Many Students. Lawyers and doctors tell us there an so many law and medical students that the profession will be scandalously overcrowded in the next live years. Painters deplore the swarms of ambitious men in tin studios, and assure us there will be no room for them in the future. As for writers, they lament about the overstocked condition f the literary market until one is quite tired of hearing about it. It is therefore with some trepidation that I make the easily substantiated statement, that the increase in the number of students in these callings is small coma red w ith their increase in tliat of architecture. About fifteen years ago. for instance, there were sometimes half a dozen Americans studying in Paris, sometimes one. For the last live years there have been from forty to sixty, while Americans have been f requeuing, besides, t lie sell, m .Is of Herl in. A'ienna. Florence and Koine. To take an example nearer home, six years ago the long est ablished School of Architecture of tiie I'niversily of Pennsylvania contained two .students; this year there are o er a hundred: and so it goes from the AtlanPc to the Pacific. Moreover, this increase of numbers Ines not include those who are getting their training iu ollices without going to the technical schools at all. John Stewardson, in January Llppineott's.
