by tho Massachusetts Board Of Health,

correspondents, Of whom 115 were
physicians, 10 physicians and members
Of school committees, n experienced

schools. Many more than 10 Of the
physicians had served on school COM
mittees, and several Of the physicians
had taught scho while acquiring their

schools. The first correspondents Of
the above 100 gave as the result OF
their observations that females were
more liable than males 81, that both
were alike liable and one, that males
were more liable than females. Some
thought that study, with girls, should
at times wholly cease for some days.
IrreEularity in attendance at school Is
more frequent with girls than boys.
Nine.tenths OF the correspondents an
swered that the liability Of the girls 70

Cure for Drunkenness.

There is curious prescription in
England for the cure OF drunkenness,
by which thousands are said to have
been assisted in recovering themselves.
The recipe came into notoriety through
the efforts OF John Vine Hall, COM
mander OF the steamship Great Eastern.
He had fallen into such habitual drunk.
enness that his utmost efforts TO regain
himself proved unavailing. AT length
he sought the advice Of an eminent
physician, who gave him 0 prescription
which he followed faithfully for several
months, and at the end Of that time he
had lost all desire for liquors, although
he had for many years been led captive
by d most debasing appetite. Tine re-
cipe, which he afterwards published,
and by which so many have been as
Sisted TO reform, is % follows: "Sul.
phate OF iron, 8 grains inagnesia, 10
grains peppermint water, II grains;
spirit OF nutmeg, drachn TO be
taken twice day." This preparation
nets as tonic and stimulant, and 80
partly supplies the place .oi the accis.
TONED liquor, and prevents that ab.
solute physical and moral prostration
that follows sudden breaking of from
the use Of stimulating drinks.

A gentleman who recently saved q
lady friend from o mad leap upon q
moving train feels impelled to speak
some sensible words against this reek-
less and far too common practice. lie
says: ! "a,
1 think most people will agree with
me in thinking that IL is better TO lose
twenty minutes, or even half an hour,
than 10 risk life; yet we everywhere
read OF people who run these fearful
risks, too often unsuccesstully..
Very recently distinguished gr9dn'
alto OF Virginia university wanted 70
deposit a letter in the postoiilce on the
other side Of railroad track. Alocomo'
tive was approaching; he thought he
could cross before the ponderous en-
gine could come along. Hc miscalcu-
lated the speed. In another moment ne
was shapeless mass. Had he waited
two minutes-half minutetthe train
would have passed along, and he could
haye deposited his letter.
A young lady wished to show her
friends how easily she could cross in
front OF a locomotive; she did cross ;
but her streaming dress caught IN the
passing wheels, drawing her back un'
der its crushing weight. es
One day u young vile looked from
her chamber window and saw her hus:
band leave the cars, which daily passed
her home. She ran down stairs TO
greet him OF the door, but when she
reached IL he was not there. She
thought he was playing her little trick;
sho called for him playfully, but there
was no answer. She saw 0 crowd OF
mon approach the gate, open 1t, come
up the path with her dead husband. :,
He did alight from the cars, and
safely step upon the platform before
the station. There was o train coming
in an opposite direction; he thought
he had plenty OF timo TO cross in front
Of e, and did cross except by ono single
inch the wheel struck the heel OF his
boot, wheeled him round under the
cars, and all was over /; one minute
longer, and he could have crossed with
tho locomotive before him.
Limbs are broken, lives are lost every
year in any large city by attempting to
cross In front OF moving horses or
vehicles. And all this foolhardy daring
that few moments Of time may be
saved HssEt'.l l-llD n '.pi
