of exhaustion! All me, the stairs Thos'
headaches; those pains; those signs; tha
face so sadly spiritual at times! All me, the
studies! How thankful | ought to be tina
the good doctor advised me in season. What
dear good man he Is, How well he under
stands darling's delicate physical organizer
ton! How fully he al preciates the intensity
of her mental applIcationsw Thus solilo
quizes the mother rs she goes home to exc
cute the doctors orders.
Now we submit whether 1t might not be
well to have the diagnosis of a school girl's
ailments varied a little occasionally fiom
that above. Let some such questions AS these
be propounded Does your daughter go out
several evenings each week to sOciables
dances or parties? Does she often stay on,
/ till mldn ght or later? Does she take stimu
ating food and drink (tea and coffee and al
unreasonable hours? Does she literally pa
tronize the confcctioner? Does she not often
dress less warmly than she shouIds Does
she squeeze herself into tight dresses and
tighter corsets, TIL the vital organs are pack.
ed like passengers in an omnlbus-till the
blood fails to find half Its channels, and the
lungs do not admit air enough to vitalize
even the little that still circulate, Does she
not read much of the silly trash found in
cheap novels, and in almost equally pernl-
cious Sunday-school books? Does not her
mind dwell too much on the other sex, think
ing more of boys than of books-more of
love than of learningy If these questions be
answered in the affirmative, as most of them
would have to be, in some cases, If answered
truthfuly. then let these additional ones be
asked, and with an carnestness that shall
star,le: How, in the name Of common sense,
which every mother should have-in the
name of human nature, which, at this deli
cate period of girlhood, demands so careful
and constant watchfulness, can you expect
your daughter to haye good health while suf.
fered to indulge IN SO frequent and SO ex.
hausting disslpations and eXcesSes! Can
you be ignorant of the greater, the more terri
BILE evils that too often and too surely follow
close hpon these!
Quite likely such questions might fall less
kindly on the maternal ear-mlght receive
less gracious maternal respOnse-might exalt
the questioner less highly IN the maternal es-
innate of his professional skill as well as of
his acute appreciativeness of the lovely and
the intellectual. Still, we think it possible
they might lead to quite as sure and radical
cures as questions whose beginning, middle
and end are about stairs and studies. There
is room for grave doubt whether it IS alto
gether wise to take the young lady invalid
from school, where she is Obliged to make
some mental exertion, and thus give her all
her time TO devote to the very excuses which
have brought upon her the ills she would be
