Agitate the school question. The OPP
position to tree school education must be
met fairly aud honestly. The standard
Of common school education must be ele-
evated. Teachers need to be stimulated
to greater effort. Many of thcm are
poorly prepared for their work. The

people are calling for better schools. In
order to secure them, the proper efforts
mist be put forth. Now let the teachers
understand that We have q common cause.
Our success means tho prosperity Of the

the intOxication in whole or in part of
such person or persons, and any person
or persons owning or renting or permit

be liable severally or Jointly with the
person or persons selling or giving away
intoxicating liquors aforesaid, for all dam,

and all damages recovered by minor, to

Horses in storms.

Avoid as far as possible exposing
horses to storms. When on a journey,
aim to feed at the regular hours. II
nothing more can be done take along
some corn meal, and put quart in a
pail of water and stir it up while the
horse is drinking. 1t will greatly re-
fresh and strengthen him. Many horses
suffer from dyspepsia; and one great
cause Of it is irregularity in feeding,
and giving too much grain where the
horse is fatigued. When a horse has
been exposed to a storm, and comes
home in an exhausted condition, give
him warm bran mash, put two or
three quarts of bran in pail, and pour on
two or three quarts of boiling water, and
stir it up; then add cold water sufficient
to cool it to the temperature of new
milk, and give it to the horse. Blanket
the horse, and rub his head, ears and
legs dry, and afterwards rub him
dry all over. Many an attack of
collie would be avoided by these
means. We think many farmers
err in not feeding their horses more on
grain. 1t would be better to work harder,
or at least more constantly, and feed high
err OF one thing we are sure-nOt one
farmer in ten grooms his horse suffi-
GENTLY. 1t is shame to a man to leave
horse at night, after hard days work,
until he has been rubbed clean, dry bed
ded, and all his wants attended to.-Far-

The following wise words are taken
from Lewis New Gymnastics" Let
every mother read the truth, and then see
whether the dresses of her little ones cor
respond. A distinguished physician, who
died some years ago in Paris, declared:
II believe that during the twenty-six
years have practiced my profession in
this city, twenty thousand children have
been carried to the cemeteries, a sacrifice
to the absurd custom of exposing their
naked arms"
have often thought, if mother were
anxious to show the soft, white skin OF
her baby, and would cut out a hole in the
little things dress, just over the heart, and
then carry it about for observation by
the company, it would do very little harm
But to expose the haby's arms, members
SO far removed from the heart, and with
such feeble circulation at best, is q most
pernicious practice. Put the bulb of a
thermometer in baby's mouth; the mer-
curry rises to 80 degrees. Now carry the
same bulb to its little hand the mercury
| will sink 40 degrees. OF course, all the
blood which flows through these arms
| and hands must fall from ten to forty de.
grees below the temperature of the heart
Need say that when these cold currents
of blood flow back into the chest, the
child's general vitality must be more OF
less compromised9 And need add that
we ought not to be surprised at its fire.
