read should be printed iu large, coarse letters;
The desks and benches should be so disposed
that the children are not obliged to sit too low

the paper on which they write. They should

ness exists it is better to avoid them altogether.
Many cases, in girls, of weakness of the muscles
of the eye take their origin ln some piece or
fine needlework or embroidery, involving ex-
ceSsive action of the muscles. 1t Is OF great
importance that the object should be held fully

A YOU'VE LADY WALKS FOUR MILES
WHILE ASLEEP AND is BADLY FROZEN :
About TWO years and half ago Mr.. Crockett,
leaving Dubuque, removed to Stuart, in this
State, taking with him his wife and children, ,one
of the latter being young lady. oome tour
days ago the town was thrown into coDSterna-
ton by the announcement that Miss Crockett
was missing and could not be found. The
alarm was sounded and everybody turned out,
though it was fearftlly cold. 1t appears she
rose very early in the morning, and called her
mother, telling her to get up. Her mother
rose soon after, but did not miss her daughter,
for an hour, and on searching for her she could
not be found. No trace Of her could be found
in the village, and the search began on the
prairie. Her cousin soon found her tracks,
and followed them about four miles, when he
found her in farmhouse, where she had but
few moments before been taken by the family,
who had discovered her wandering about as II
lost. She was badly frozen, and it is feared
will lose both her legs, if not, indeed, her lite.
1t is marvel how she escaped death on the
prairie. She had on nothing but her night
dress, a thin pair of stockings, pair OF slip
pers and thin, small shawl and she was ex-
pcscd to the weather aud the snow tor three
hours She is about twenty years old, and ex-
ceediogly popular among her friends. She is
subject to somnambulism, but this is the first
instance where she went away from home.-

From the Spirit of the Times,l
HambIetonian Trotters.

The following article on HambletOni-
an trotters we transfer to our columns
from the February number OF that able
monthly, the National Lave Stock Jour-
nal of Chicago: The trotting contests
of the past year are full of interest, as
throwing valuable light upon the ques-
ton of breeding trotting horses but
there are many things to be taken into
account besides the mere number of
winners that repro sent each trOtting
sire. The popularity of Rysdyk's Ham
bletonian, as well as that of his sons,
Volunteer and Edward Everett, has in
duced the coupling of the very highest
class of broodmares to these sires for
several years past, and has caused espe-
cial efforts to be made to develop all
that there was of speed in their get. II
is quite probable that nearly all of the
get of the cold Horse" as Rysdyk' s
Hambletonian is called, above the age of
five years, have been pretty thoroughly
trained, and it is fair to presume that
those that have not been heard from are
lacking in speed. True, there are sew
eral of his sons, with no record, that
have shown private trials below 2:30 !;
but with these we can have nothing to

The grandchildren of the "Old Horse

pecially the get of Volunteer, Edward
Everett and Alexander's Abdallah, and
comparatively few of them have failed
To make trotters from want of training.
How much, then of the speed shown by
the get of the 'Old Horse" aud of his
sons is due to the legacy of blood inner
tied from the sire, and how much to The
fortunate circumstance of good blood
in the dams, and TO the equally fortu.
nate circumstance of so large proper
ton of the produce having been handled
by the most skilful trainers in the world.
are debatable questions, Certain it is
that the popularity of the Hambletoni-
ans as a trotting family is increasing
from year 10 year, and this growing
popularity is due mainly to the achieve
ments OF its representatives on the turf
Other sires have senjoyed brief seasons
or popularity, have had the best of
mares sent 10 them, and their proge nv
have been carefully trained, vet they

favored by fortunate circumstances as

been able at least to maintain the posi-
