Right Posture in study.

DR.. Liebreich has written an impor-
tant paper on the evil effects produced
by the ordinary posture of children
during the hours devoted to study.
He demonstrates that the two evils
of permanent short sight and curva-
ture of the spine, both so much more
frequent among the educated than the
uneducated classes of society, are de-
veloped by the unnatural posture US
uallY enforced in schools. During
childhood the eye possesses a great
power OF accommodating itself to dis
lance, and If, in reading and writing,
the desks are SO arranged that the
eye, instead of being twelve to fifteen
inches distant, is kept at seven or
eight inches from the book or paper,
the eye adapts itself to the near OBJ
ject, and permanent short sight is the
result. MoreOYer, as the predisposi-
ton TO the disease is hereditary, short
sight is constantly on the increase in
highly civilized countries.
The bad posture adopted at writing
desks is also the chief cause of lataral
curvature of the spine. In extreme
cases, says DIR. Liebreich, the copy
book is pushed forward, so that its
lower border is inclined at an angle
OF fOrty-five degrees with the edge Of
the table. The head is lowered, and
so much twisted that the left eye is
only few inches distant from the
book; the LEFT cheek almost touches
the left hand, or even leans upon il;
the ribs of the left side are pressed
against the edge of the desk, aud the
taller children slip backward on the
forms, so that only the lower part OF
the thighs rest on the narrow bench.
In many schools the pupils fi1ailtain
this unnatural position for several
hours daily, until at last the muscles
are overtired, and permanent distOr-
ton Of the spine Is the inevitable re
suit.
To avoid these evils, desks should
be so constructed that when the pu.
pil is seated the shoulders should bt
even, The spine straight, the head
balanced on the top OT the spine, the
elbows on level with each other
and only the hands and part Of the
forearm resting on the desk. In or
der to effect this DR.. 1iebrefch rec
ommends q desk in which the angle
is twenty degrees for writing, anC
which, by turning up flap, gives al
angle Of forty degrees for supporting :
book for reading. He strongly con
demns the absurd unanatOmical no
tion that straight spines can be in
sured by making children sit vi
straight without support for the back
thus over fatiguing the muscles, an'
producing the very effect desired &
be avoided. He also deprecateS
strongly the unnatural plan Of max
ing girls lie on an inclined board .
on the floor ga foolish torture whicl
misses its ain.'' A couch with al
angle of forty-fiye degrees, with curve
adaped to the curvatures Of the spine
is one best adapted to girls wit
| threatened spinaf distortion.

hnnfher SAD TIger Story.

A correspondent of the Times Of In
dia, writing from AkOla on June /,
says: ::"There was a very sad occur
renee n few DAYS back. The Patel of
village, we'll known as q tiger shi-
karee, was aroused late ae night by a
tumult in his eattle-shed, and, peep
ing through the erevices Of a door,
discovered master Stripes cOOlly walk
ing off with a calf. The Patel took
up his gun and fired, WOunding the
tiger, who Immediately dropped his
prey and fed. The next morning the
Patel, accompanied by his two BROTH
ers and a Parihi, (the first armed with
a gun and sword, and the remaining
three with swords only went in
search of the animal, who was easily
followed, owing To the biOOdstains ON
his track. The tiger WAS first seen by
the Patel lying apparently help ess
under n BUSH, when he ineantiou-ly
rested his gun against the trunk II a
tree, and approaching the tigeI, prick
ed him with the point of his sword.
On this he suddenly spTang up with
q roar, and struck the Patel sense
less. The two brothers then bravely
attacked the tiger with their swords,
put were both disposed of in the same
manner. BY this time the Pard hi
came up, and swathing his left arm
in his dhotee. thrust it into the tigers
mouth, and proceeded TO hack him
with his sword; but by this time the
tiger was quite spent, and quietly
fell back dead. BY evening all three
brothers died from the injuries reeeiv-
ed, leaving their families almost
wholly unPfovided for. Within the
last two Or three months no fewer
than six or eight children sre aseer
tanned to have been destroyed by
wolves. These animals are getting so
bold that in daylight, and within
sight Of their mothers, they come and
carry their infants away"

The Ledger standard, OF New All
bany, Indiana, gives the following
somewhat startling summary OF the
lawIess executions in that State dur
ing recent years: --
"Wfthin tie last five years, nine
teen persons have been hanged with
in the limits of this Judicial. district
by vigilance committees, or, TO give
them their proper, shame-suggesting
name, mobs. Tally and Brown were
given short shrift and short rope in
jackson county, at BrOwnstOwn.
Three men were hung on a beech
tree in the same county. A negro
man was hung between CORTLAND and
Free4own, in what is known as the
White Creek Slashes. Shortly after
ward two men were hung on the same
beech tree, from the limbs Of which
three men before them had strangled
to death. Four men were hanged in
the Floyd county jail, at New Alba
nv. Two men were strGngled 10
death on the Lost River bridge, be-
tween Orleans and Paoli, in Orange
county. Three negroes were hung IN
Clark county, and now the moo has
gIutted its vengeance on Heffren, at
Salem, like dog. AL Of those out
RACES were perpetrated within the
limits of five counties. Jackson
county has hanged eight men, and, if
injustice is not done her, her citizens
hanged the four men who were sent
from that county to the Floyd county
jail for protectiOn) who suffered death
in the jail at New Albany. Orange
county has two to eternally stain her
record. Clark county must account

WOman's Strategy.

Last Sunday evening promenaders
on King street, between York and
Simeoe, were made the spectators OF
''scene.u A young gentleman,
deeked in his very best and evident
ly conscious that he was making q
favorable impression at every step,
had been strOlling leisurely behind a
couple Of young ladies and cberishing
an Irresistible desire To introduce him
self. The fair ones stopped at the
door OF their home and were about to
enter when our hero, suddenly resO-
Lutte, stepped up and dit speak. This
advance being received graeiOusly by
the l4dies, led the young man to think
be bad made a conquest OF at least one
heart, for the second sister had ex-
eused herself and slipped into the
house. What burning words passed
at the doorstep Of course is not known
certainly they increased the en-
barrassment OF the lady, and the con-
fidence of the beau. Presently the
other lady re-appeared on the step
with a peaceful smile and II scUOPful
Of extra fine flour, which she deliver
ed with smOthering directness in the
face of the visitor. There was q
Hgrand transformation scene" on the
Iatter's behalf-a sudden changing OF
his s'eheek." He was at once like q
soldier and q young lady, for not only
did he face the powder, but he pow
dered his face.

Mrs. CaudIe sIleneed.

The Brantford Canada Courier
tells of a gentlemen of that town who
recently tried an experiment which
he says has completely cured his wife
of jealousy. He says he was subject
to a nightly curtain lecture from his
better half, at q time when he wished
to be wrapped in the arms OF Nor
pheus, for returning al affection Tor
an old lady friend. he bore 1t. Tor
several nights with Christian-llke
resignation, but he at last deylsed
plan for putting an end to it. Hepro-
cured a piece of wood formed in the
shape of a human being, and dressed
it in some of his Wife's wardrobe, and
then placed it in the garden, sitting
in an iron chair. To this craven i'm
age he knelt down and poured forth
an impassioned address. The servant
girl was standing at the kitchen door
at this time, and overheard these ap-
peaIs. She Immediately notified her
mistress of the fact. Presently both
of them emerged from the kitchen,
armed with broomstieks, and made
an attack ON the dummy woman, ~
while the husband, who had retired IN
good order, cat at the back enjoying
the scene. After knocking the image
over they pouneed upon and tore the
clothing in rags. They soon discover
ed the cheat, and rushed back into
the house terribly mortified The
husband followed them and said ex-
asperating things. Whenever she
shows any disposition to be Jealous he
has only to mention that little scene
in the garden, and she changes the
topic. The servant has since been in
dnced to go to the States, where y wa
ges are high.

A Fine Sentiment Well said.

At the st. Louis Congressional Con-
ference, Gov. Noyes, of Ohio, being
called out, after referring to the great
gain to the whole country by the ef-
ficient means of intereommunication,
by the improvement of rivers, the
digging of canals and the stretching
out Of railroads all over the country,
closed his short but eloquent address
as follows: M ia
"Ohio bids Missouri and the North
west God speed with their enterprise
and public spirit, and offers a helping
hand. When your commerce shalt go
uninterrupted to the gulf, our steamers
shall join yours at Cairo, and they
shall float side by side down tbs Faith
er of Waters. II by and by the ma
ton shall build a grand canal from the
Mississippi to Savannah, Ohio will
stretch her iron arms from Cincinnati
to Chattanooga, while our farmers,
manufacturers and merchants, in COM
pany with yours, shall join the plant
ers of the South, and friendly army
shall march from Atlanta to the sea.
God speed the time when there shall
be no more political disturbances-no
more sectional divisions or strife, in
all the land; but when the people oi
the United States shall be one in feel
ing, and, in fact, as they are one in
government and in name-a people
united, peaceful prosperous and
happy"

Irue Had but a thousand.

A Georgia paper, the Atlanta Her
aid, advises a man who has 81 900 to
establish hennery near that city, and
depicts his glorious prospect thus, af-
fording most remarkable instance OF
counting ones chickens before the
eggs are even laid: 4" With 500 he can
purchase 1000 good hens; an addi.
tionaI $50 viii buy him 100 cocks. Let
him then rent good piece of gIassY
land near the city, and expend $40 in
fixing up chicken coops, nests and
fencings. If he can then with the bal
ance Of his money purchase cheap
horse and a secondhand wagon, he is
ready for business. His hens win fur
nish him at low estimate an average
of COO eggs a day the year round,
though, for certain purposes, let US
say, fifty dozen per day. He can Sc
cure steady sale for them at an aver
age of17 cents per dozen, or $3.50 per
day, or, in round figures, S, 200 q year.
The food ofthese fowls may be liberal
ly put at $50 per annum, and, with
the little garden patch, which should
be cultivated, the bee-hiyes, which
fringe the house, the cow, that should
be Carefully attended to, the man and
his family could easily live on $1,000
year. Putting his rent at 500 cash
