A little girl had a beautiful head Of
hair, which hung in clustering
curlsn down on her neck. One hot
summer day she went up stairs and
cut all the curls of. Coming down,
she met her mother, who exclaimed
with surprise: "Mary! what have
you been doing 10 your hair2" To
which she responded that she had cut
it of and laid it away in her box, but
that she intended to put it On again
tomorrow, as aunt Nancy did!

ELECTRICITY IN REsUsCTTATIoN.-
The journal Of applied Chemistry
mentions that on Nov. ., 1866, Doc
tor DANIEL administered chlOrOfOrm
for the removal of a cancer. After
the operation, the patient ceased to
breathe, and opening the windows,
artificial respiration and and all other
agencies proved of no avail, when re-
course was had to electricity One
pole of the battery was applied to the
neck, the other to the epigastric.
There is no doubt that death would
have ensued without the application
Of electricity and as this remedy has
been applied with success in several
other cases, it is worthy of note on
the part of physicians generally.

A GOOD common school education
to make one able to talk and to write
good English, to keep simple accounts,
make the calculation Of every day busi-
ness. 10 write a decent hand, and to
write common business letter respecta-
bly,. This is what a good common ed
ucation should do. But how many. IN
point of fact, can do these things well,
or even fairly2 How many can read
paragraph from newspaper in such a
way as to be pleasilg to the hearers, and
at the same time bs thoroughly under
stood by them2 How many write a page
Of foolscap that would escape the con-
tempt and the deFision Of a printer
apprentice, one year " at the case, for
itsvile spelling, its wretched capitalizing'
the fearful muddle Of sense in its SEN
tences, and its wonderful punctuation.
How many can keep simple debit
and credit for the weeks business in a
small shop2 How many can foot
ledger column and have il right2
The answer 10 ell these questions must
be that very few can do well these things
of every day occurrence and of the
greatest value and importance. Finally,
