The Board Of Education of Newark, N. j.,
have undertaken q difficult but commsndable
task, viz that Of curing schoolgirls Of tho sil-
~ habit Of calling themselves and other girls
tout Of their Names" At the last meeting Of
tho board. Mr.. Miller called attention to the re-
port Of the graduates Of tho pnblic schools, In
which tho names were not spelled In full, but
ncknamea used instead.
Instead Of the good old name Matilda, he
found Tillie, and Katie or Kittie was put down
School scholars were represented by nicknames.
He f0nnd the name Of Jennie for Jane, Belle
and Bella instead of Isabella. Bessie and Lizxio
for Elizabeth. Hattie for Harriet, Carrie for
Caroline, Lottis for Charlotte, Gussie for Au-
and Annie for Ann, Nellie and Ellie for Ellen,
Addie for Alkaline, Maggie for Margaret. and Al.

This he thought was wrong, ~ the scholars
should be called by their full names, and the use
some teachers Affected nicknames, also. and ap.
piled them in the intsroourse with the children.
At any rate, il the teachers did not encourage
the habit, they did not discourage IL. There

A Lady Pierced with Hot Irons, for
Spine Disease
The following is taken from the Fort Wayne

Sentinel of recent date
Mrs. Caswell, the afflicted lady, who 10 10 we'll
and favorably known In this city, has been
troubled with symptoms Of curvature Of tho
spine since she was fourteen yeArn Of age. Re-
Gently these symptoms have become marked.
until they excited tho alarm Of Mr.. Caswell, who
sent 70 Boston for DR.. Richardson, An eminent
surgeon Of that city, to come to Fort Wayne and
examine the case.
Tho doctor arrived here last week, and, upon
examination, stated that unless cure could be
effected, either paralysis or insanity would
speedily ensue, &nd perhaps death. Under
these circumstances 1t was decided to have an
operation performed. The patient was prepared
BY proper applications Of medicine for the or
deal, and on Saturday afternoon the operation
was accomplished by DR.. Richardson and Dils,
Of this city.
Just prior to this, cupping had been resorted
to and large quantity u blood taken from the
spine. Tho operation consisted of the burning
OF six holes in tho spinal column with red-hot
irons. tho consequent suffering being - excru-
ciating and agonzing - could be. Ohloroform
was not administered internally, through fear
| that lockjaw might ensue, but was applied ex-
tsrnaly for the spine, hardly sufficient, howev-
or, to diminish appreciably the intense anguish.
The patient had to be held tightly while the
heated irons weress forced into the quivering
| flesh Mrs. CAswell IL now in - favorable con-
dition a. could have been anticipated, although
suffering. ~ might be expected, somewhat from
| nervous prostration. DR.. Richardson remains
constantly with her, - it will require period of
| ten days from Tuesday last to determine wheth-
or or not perfect cure has been effected.
