HE EYES AND EARS OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN.

Two papers on the condition of the
ewes and ears respectively of children in
public schools were presented at the so
cial science convention at Saratoga last
summer. The paper of DR.. G. J. Blake
on the method by which teachers should
ascertain defects of hearing in their pu-
pills calls attention to the importance of
recognizing the existence of a class
among school children fer whom some
special provision in the way of education
must be made. This was shown by the
fact that one of 8,715 cases of ear dis
ease, accompanied by impairment of hear
ing, 2,175, or twenty-five per cent, were
children under fourteen years of age,
these statistics being taken from children
OF public schools; also that in about
twelve per cent. there was an existing
aural disease amenable to treatment. If
these children are 10 be retained in the
usual schools (Which hestrongly advises),
it is necessary to rate them according to
degree of individual disability, in order
that proper allowance might be made
for their defective hearing. To this end
a careful examination should be made
in each case, to determine the degree of
deafness as tested by the distance at
which the voice of the teacher can be
heard in ordinary conversational tone,
and again by the pronunciation of con-
gonant tones. These tests could be
made by the teacher, and the following
directions for making them were given :
The teacher should always occupy, in
testing the different cases, the same posi-
ton, preferably the rostrum or seat
usually occupied by him in school hours.
He should speak i'll the same tone Of
voice used in the school-room exercises.
The child to be tested should be placed
in front of the teacher and at the ex-
IRENE limit Of the furthe8t line of seats,
and gradually advanced toward the
teacher at certain intervals, the tests be-
ing repeated until point is reached at
which the child can hear distinctly.

let it be upon terms something nearly

MORE POISON.
Another Woman Attempt. Her Own
Life.

Another Woman Attempts Her ON n
Life.
Yesterday afternoon q woman named
Kate Murray, well known In this city,
came down town in a highly agitat.d
state OF mind. She was crying bitter
ly, and attracted the attention Of sew
eral. She WAS questioned as TO what
was the matter, but refused To state.
She said, however, that her life Wa
miserable, and If she knew OF any one
who would care for her child, she
would quit this world. Marshal Nor
ton saw her, and told her to 20
home, OF he would lock ber up. She
did so, and about seven O'Clock
last evening she took morphine.
AS soon As that was discovered, a col
ored woman, who was present, with
great, good sense, gave her . dose Of
vinegar, salt and water, which acted
~ an enetic- DIR. Thruston was called
in, and did everything for her, and in
short time she was out Of danger.
The doctor stated that from what he
could learn she took about three grains
OF morpbia. There is q morbid desire
among certain cisss Of women, " hen
ever they find the burden Of life press
ing heavily upon them. 10 attempt
their own destruction. 1t seems A.
though the desire takes the form Of an
occasional epidemic. Who can explain
