Cure for stammerrffng..

y Canada journal contains a
letter from a correspondent who
processes to have been a stam-
lnerer from childhood up almost
to manhood, and who wishes to
give other sufferers the benefit
of the treatment by which he
was cured. lie says: "Go into
a room where you viii be quiet
and alone, get some book that
viii interest but not excite you,
and sit down and cad two hours
aloud to yourself keeping the
teeth together. Do the same
thing every two or three days,
or once a week if very tiresome,
always taking care to read slow
ly and distinctly, moving the
lips bat not the teeth. Then,
when convcrsing with others,
try TO speak as slowly and dis
tinctly as possible, and make uF
your mind that you will not
stammer. l tried this remedy,
and read for two hours with nv
teeth together. The first result
was to make my jaWsand. tongue
ache--that is, while l was read
ing,-and the next to make me
feel as if something had loosen
cd my talking. apparatus, for ]
could speak with less difficulty
Immediately. The change was
so great that everyone who
knew nae remarked it. Irepeat-
ed the remedy every five or six
days for a month, and then at
longer intervals until cured"

Farmers Wives.


Some years ago Twas talking
with DR.. Gray, chief physician
in the New York state lunatic
asylum, at Utica, and he told me
that, asTa class, more farmers
wives, were brought TO chat in
stitution than people of any 9TH
er occupation. He said: "The
reason why this is SO, is that
their minds are constantly ON
one Interchangeable routine of
work, from daylight in the NOR
hing till late atnight--nOchapge
no relaxatiou--no rest. "
Farmers should notice this
fact, and be forewanea before
il is too late. 1t is astonishing
what a vast amount OF labor far
mers3 wives performl Many of
them get MP and have breakfast
ready before their husbands are
out of bed. Then it is work,
work, work, till near midpight;
the mind all the time being on
their duties-how they shall
supply the meals; how the wash
ing and ironing are TO be done ;
when can the floors bescrpbbed ;
how the children are, to be ,cloih-
I'd and kept tidy; and many
other things, all combined, are
enough to break down The stron-
gest woman In the laadI . ~
in no case" said DR. Gray,
SIS itsafe to be constantly think
ing upon one snbject, and in
cases where the brain has be-
come weakened BY too great q
strain on 1T, as with students
and literary men, the remedy
is rest and outdoor recreations,
Then when men are in trouble,
a constant brooding over it is
dangerous. The mind should be
drawn away from it as MUCH as
possible.
Farmers, your duties to your
wives are plain. Don't allow
them to overwork, to wear out
prematurely. 1t is better tc
leavera few acres less to your
heirs, and less in bonds or mort
cages, than TO see your wives
go down TO premature graves
with the epitaph, "Daed offarn
dr'sdge'y.' So go, ~
