OvERTAXING CHILDREN IN ScHooL.-At the re-
cent meeting of the Wisconsin State medical So
ciety paper was read by Dr. Waterhouse, of
Portage City, on the subject OF debility in chill
dren, especially with reference to the evils of
overtaXing children in our schools. We copy
the following:
In our common schools of the present day
everywhere, but more especially in our cities
and the larger villages, where the best teachers
sought and generally obtained-eyery in
ducement, every incentive that can be devised
and brought to bear to stimulate and encourage
study is faithfully and persistently applied. The
consequences are that many of our brightest
children, of from six to ten years Of age are per-
forming more study, more mental labor, than
most of the business men, or more than their
teachers. | am aware that many children are
sluggish in temperament, and will bear and seem
to require more urging to get them to learn
yet with many of this class, it is their rapid
growth that takes away their energy, and even
ability to study, and consequently you must fail
to get them TO learn much until they cease to
grow so rapidly or, if you succeed in getting
study out of them, you induce dHemid. What
else can you expect? You cannot get more from
the blood than there is IN it; and since the
blood must supply the nourishment to the brain
and the body and all its organs, for their grow tn
besides repairing the waste of all their exertions
it follows that whenever you tax that fluid be-
yond its income, disease is the result.

Tie game and the largest part. Consequently

maiiet or he will never become. good player
isn't 1t fun when you make good hitf"
and are told that yon nre "doing WELL" and
when all the company clap their hands and
cry you did splendid" aren't you perfectly
elated! Why we certainly think we iumped
up as much as two feet tIie first time we ..did
splendid Speaking of feet reminds us that
there is pain as well as pleasure in this game,
particularly to an awkward player, viz /: when
somebody's great hard ball comes plump
against your croquet slipper, or when you
wish to hit your ball such knock as shall
once, and through awkwardness strike
your foot the fearful blow intended for the
bah. Oh. don't it send you spinning for
few minutes! We came near knocking our
foot entirely off in this manner once. Miss
Brunette from Boston watched us as we
played, and we heard her make some remarks
not very complimentary. And when we got
through the last wicket and within a foot of
the stake, every time we would knock for
the stake our ball would go just six inches be-
yond. Miss Brunette thought US very awk-
ward, and the tenth time we struck she told
us plainly we were a STOOL" Very strong
language this, but it is of the kind in vague
upon the croquet ground. If any man wishes
to know what people think of him let him
play croquet with them one afternoon, and if

We felt decidedly vcrdant when Miss B. in
formed us that we had spoiled the game" and
1.-THE side we were on could not expect to win
with such miserable player" and were in
constant fear that she would propose that they
throw Jonah overheard. Indeed she looked
as though she would like to be the whale to
swallow it. The next game we retired and
away gracefully. The first stroke she sent
her ball against the wicket with such force as
to knock it down. This she declared en-
titled here to two more knocks. \ young
gentleman come to her aid and placed the
wicket in position" The second knock she
got her ball in position" and the third sent
it through the first wicket and knocked down
the second wicket. Miss b., snapped her
eyes, shook her head and informed us that
this '.eMitled her to three more knocks"
She is "a better player than we are because
after her ball was through the last wicket she
struck only five times and half before hit
ting the stake. We do not understand all the
Gins and ''outs' of the game, but we do
know that it is hard work to get sin position"
but easy enough getting out.

Croquet.

Croquet.
Isn't croquet a delightful game? Young
and old, male and female married and single,
saint and sinner answer, Yea" Owing to
circumstances over which we had no control,
We have never learned to play croquet, but
made our first attempt recently We think it
is fUh No doubt we made very awkward
appearance, but we encouraged ourselves by
saying we must all learn and be laughed at
before we can play any game. We do not
think any one ever played croquet justright the
first time. But want to ask you all, We play
ers of croquet, can you conceive of anything
more annoying, more provoking, than to have
that hateful ball go rolling entirely off the
"a ound when you are sure you struck it just
hard enough to send it through the wicket,
and no further? A short time since we were
invited to a croquet party, and as we make it
a rule never to decline an invitation of course
we accept. Accordingly the next afternoon
party of young people might have been seen
and heard upon the lawn engaged in the de-
lightful pastin.e Of playing crvquet. Twas a
very pleasant afternoon, and the 'ground'
was in lovely spot beneath the foliage of
grand old trees, cool, so shady. The
young ladies looked very pretty in their white
dresses and bright sashes, and as they tripped
like fairies over the lawn, they lifted their
white robes just enough to display their stylish
croquet slippers with the bright silver buckles
almost as large as the slippers. We don't think
weadmire these slippers but then they are ''sty-
lish." But we do like to see pretty foot,
and when fair young cr0quetest discloses a
pretty boot perfectly fitted to her tiny feet we
admired her good taste and watched her cum
ming little feet as they tripped lightly through
the game. But my readers may think am
DEPRESSING and ask what ladies feet nave 10
do with the game, but every woman OF sense
knows that it has great deal to do with 1t.
and if her foot is pretty now is the time to
show it. But to return to the party which we
I left upon the lawn. There was stylish
young brunette from Boston present who APP
parently considered herself 'decided sue
cess" as a croquetesh and when she tossed
her head and shook her raven tresses and
long ear jewels, we thought she could CO.
quette as well as croquet, however, this may
all be fancy. But we do know that this same
young lady had sharp tongue. And we all
know if there is any rim in person it will
out on an occasion like this. We know moth
ing of the game, but by paying strict atten.
ton with our eyes and ears we ascertained
that those who could talk the loudest, and in
of not playing fair" cheating" taking
too many knocks" &c., &c., were considered
the best players. We think this is part OF

their guns swept the valley reaching from

The result of the artillery contest was tc
compel the French to abandon their most ad-

hoped to cover both roads, pierced and
driven back. AT noon the Prussians were
able to push forward their artillery, the
French guns proving unable to resist the
Prussian fire.
The PruSsian batteries shortly after noon
were in position on either side of Gravelotte,
so that neither of the roads which at that
point branch off to Verdun north and south
westerly, were any longer open to the French.
BY = o'clock the French battery, covering
the Nerdun road from the north, were ST.
fenced, and the Prussians had advanced so
far from the south of that road TO occupy
a farm house at Malmion, a little northeast
from Gravelotte.

A gentleman who has always considered
himself "smart" in business matters, says that
the money made in ice the year will be more
than exhausted the next season by the specu-
lators who will lose immensely more than
they have gained by their good fortunes this
year. He claims that the ''open winter" was
the secret of their success this season. We
do not think that the predictions of the old
gentleman will intimidate our live Kennebec
Yankees who will undoubtedly go ahead in
building, repairing and filling their ice houses
'.just as though nothing had happened" The
next winter may be mild one and the ice
crop south fail. Nothing venture nothing
have" is u maxim that applies as well to the
cool business of putting in stores OF ice as 10
anything else.
