Reader, put yourself in the place of dyspeptic
and bilious patient under the old-fashioned regular
treatment. Allopahc doses of blue pill, purga-
tiyes that go through him with the impetuous rush
of all avalanche, opium when he can't sleep and a
little beef tea to keep him alive under the assaults
of the medicine man upon his stomach, his intes-
tines, his liver and bis brain all these he has to
dure Il it any wonder that he becomes dread
fully weak, emaciated and detected? Reader, if
you have any 'gumption'' you would, under any
circumstances and at all hazards, decline to put
yourself-otherwise than supposiiously-in that
mans place. Now put yourself IN the place of a
person with the same complaints, who has had the
sense to resort to Hostetters Stomach Btters as a
remedy. He takes that agreeable and potent vege-
table tonic and Alternative we will say. three times
a day. As necessary consequence his appetite re-
turns, his digestion improves, his bodily strength
Increases his bowels become free and regular, his
sleep is sound and refreshing, his spirits gro"
buoyant, the tnge of health returns to his com
plexion, and in a few weeks the cure is complete.
This is fancy picture, il is brief abstract OF the
experience of thousands Of ayspeptlc, bilious, de-
biitated and despairing patients Is 1t necessary
to ask the reader in which of the two places ne
would put himself. if afflicted with any disease OF
the stomach, the bowels, liver. or the nerves!

will have her rights because she will have

The new school law in Tennessee pro-
vides for two directors for each school dis
trict- who may have a clerk and treasurer
elected by themselves. Schools for white
persons and negroes are to be kept separate,
but the apportionment of the school fund is
TO be made that the blacks shall enjoy a
pro rata share. Written contracts, at liked
rates per month. are to be made with ali
teachers. Teachers may suspend pupils FOR
sufficient cause. The Sabotage Is from six
70 eighteen years.
Judge Baxter has decided that a teacher
in the public schools of corporation is not
an officer in that sense of the law which ex-
enpts his salary from execution by gar
niShment; and that in order to cntiTle the
official TO exemption the office must be es-
pecially created by some law making
power.

act on the 9Th OF last month, fixing the pay

TEN permanent are softened BY contact with
numbets that must be controlled. as gem
eral rule, by one fixed order adapted To the
greatest good of all. The unavoidable sub
lection of the individual to the many
obviates in a great measure in schools the
necessity of making variations to suit GER
tain cases; but no one can be a successful
educator who does not recognize in prac-
ticp as well as in theory the fact that bold

jadicious repression that would utterly
quench the spirit of a Limid and self-dis-
trusting little one. Between these two ex-
tremes will generally be found all the shades
and combinations of shades that distinguish
character, with every now and then some
curious anomaly that confounds the wis
dom of the closest observer.
The sin of 1ying-an ugly word. but good
English, and wholesome because of its
pIainness-the most common of all sins
among children. is in no two children per-
hap6 attributable to the same cause. Often
