PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Gen. Meredith Read, our Minister to
Greece, has obtained from the Greek
Government a revocation of the order for
bidding the circulation Of the Bible in that
country.
Clara Louise Kellogg, while driving
in Barkhampstead, Conn, recently, had
the top of her carriage damaged by over
hanging branches, and she coOlly asks the
town to pay her twenty dollars for the
damage.
-Thaddeus Stevens, many years ago,
cleared two bank officers who had been
indicted for conspiracy by first procuring
an order for separate trials and then show
ing how clearly impossible it was that one
man should be guilty of conspiracy.
Isn't it funny? The author of the

appreciation still for the good things of

1t is tradition at Harvard that Dr.
Winship, when student there, developed
his muscle in order to have the pleasure
of threshing fellow student who had in

content himself with the pleasure of hav-

Ida Lewis now has the charge of the

with her mother and her dogs. She has
not much regard for the tyrant sex, al
though she has saved so many from drown

of her house, which she tinted herself, she
said: The Government gives us men to

The Season of Intermfttents.

All miasmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwholcsomc ex-
halatlons from the earth or water, are preva-
lent at this season. In every section subject
to the visitation of fever and ague, or other
forms of intermittent disease, the causes
which produce these maladies are now act
lively at work. This, therefore, is period
Of the year when the Inhabitants of such
districts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholesomc condition of the at
mosphere by course of tonic and alternative
treatment. Foremost among the invigorants,
recommended by time and experience as q
means OF fortifying the system against all en-
demic and epidemic maladics, stands Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. By a timely use of
the Bittcrs, the fecblcst resident of an un-
healthy soil may escape the sickness, which,
without the aid of this potent ally of nature,
will be apt to overtake the strongest.

Object-Cards.

Object-cards are quite the fashion
this season among the children of the red
school house. Do you know what object
cards are: Not being able to hear your
answer distinctly at this distance, l must
take the safe course and tell you. You
simply fasten an interesting natural
object on card, and write under it, as
we'll as you can, just what the object is.
Sometimes you'll have to hunt up the
name in book, sometimes you'll get it
from father, mother or friend, and oftener
you'll know it yourself; for it is quite
likely to be some object that you have
been in the habit of seeing nearly every
day of your life. One Of the little girls
sewed spray of rye on one card, oats on
another, wheat on another, barley on an.
other, buckwheat on another. all picked
and labeled by herself at various times,
and you've no idea what a sensation they
made. Little friends and big were glad
enough to take up these cards and study
out the exact differences between them.
Many said they then noted the distinctive
features of the various grain for the first
time. A little boy who went to the sea-
side brought home cards with many pretty
shells gummed upon them, one or two
shells to card. He had to look
in q work on conchology before he
could name his specimens. His sister
made fine set Of pressed-leaf cards
maple, oak, cherry, apple, sycamore, elm,
beech, and so on, till she had over hun
dred, representing as many different kinds
Of tree. One boy had asset of butterfly
cards, another of beetles; but l didn't
quite approve of them. One girl had sets
of bark cards, showing over thirty varieties
of bark (she and the tree-leaf girl should
60 into partnership, and another had set
of pine-cone cards-bristling things that
had to be kept in a roomy box. The cones
were neatly sliced in half, lengthwise, and
the flat side was; glued to the card. 80 }
! cannot begin to tell you half of the
styles of object-cards that the children Of
the red school-house have made, and still
are making. The Little Schoolma' am
read in the newspaper about a sort of pro.
gressive object-card that is used in some Of
the Belgian and Swedish schools. On one
card is seen the flax-seed, the flax blossom,
the thread made Of flax, and the woven
linen. Others show the ore of metal
placed beside some finished article manu-
featured from the same. In fact, many
branches of natural history and manufac-
lures, as you see, can we'll be studied by
making sets of object cards. There is no
danger either Of making them too simple.
The moment any natural object, however
common, is looked at inquiringly, it be-,
comes interesting -" Jack sn-the-P Pulpit

have all to be squeezed in, as we'll as the 9TH
er lessons which belong to good English
education. These of themselves would be
enough to fill up the whole time.
:, After an early dinner, if the day is fine,
one rejoices if the weather is wet, for tteHn
there is little time for idleness or play.
The classes begin again in the afternoon
and last until tea time perhaps even after
that the preparation for the next day must
be got through. If there is no hour be-
fore bedtime in which relaxation is in.
sisted on, the industrious girls will work
up to the last moment, and then dream
half the night of nnprepared lessons or
problems they cannot solve. Their fever
ish restlesshEss is the natural result Of
overstraining young brains, and not Civ
the muscles vigorous, healthy exercise
Not that much is accomplished after all
in the way of learning-far from it-and,
worst of all, they are never taught how to
learn. The time given to lessons is too
long to be advantageously employed. 1t
Is impossible that it can be good for either
the mind or body of a growing girl to
spend nine or ten hours a day in Head
work, particularly when the greater part
OF the time is passed in an overcrowded,
stufy school-room.
Boys have great advantage over girls
in this respect. Their class-rooms
are much larger, more numerous, and bet
ter ventilated. They are not hung with
curtains, or covered with carpets which
can scarcely be kept free from dust.
Then, too, boys have another advantage
over girls in the liberty they enjoy during
their play hours. They are not constantly
under inspection. Their games Of cricket
and football are admirable tonics after
morning of hard work. The healthy
glow of exercise sends a fresh current
through the tired brain, and completely
changes the course of their thoughts. But
OF this invigorating sensation the properly
brought up school girl knows nothing.
She is not allowed to warm her feet by II
good run, or her hands by a boxing match.
The nearest approach she ever gets to
healthy exertion is the weekly dancing
lesson.-London Saturday Repieao.

offording the teashers of the city no
opportunity to attend the Institute
There is something wrong in the az
rangement for the time Of holding the
institute or the time of commencing
the Kenosha Schools. The wrong is
patent, and the question is, how to re-
move it. AS things now are, there is
as much separation between the teach
ers of the city and Of the towns as
there is between the teachers of two
different counties. That this ought
not to be every one knows.
Nh. Flett has a plan intended to
bring the teachers of the towns and
the city together for the formation OF

mental improvement. He will bring
the plan before the public in his own
good time and way, and we trust it
will prove successful.

In the dining rooms preparations were being

stalls there were several good horses and colts
also several race or trotting horses not of the

some good sheep and swine, and in the cattle
stalls were very few good cattle. In the me-

lot of milch-cows and young cattle entered the

Judges from knowing who made the entries upon
which they are to judgetill after the awards
are made, we withhold the names of those who
made the entries which we saw. In doing SO We
