WHAT TO Do.-In cases where persons
are paralyzed by a lightning stroke, the
hrst remedy is to dash ice cold water over
the race and head Of the patient. It NAV
not restore animation, but there is a chance
tnat 1t will. The theory is that the sud-
den shock Of the cold water will cause a
reaction in the nerves of the patient. The
same effect can be produced by submit
Ting the patient to the shock of a GAL
vanic battery, but this apparatus is not
always available when required for this
purpose.

WEALTH and want equally harden the
human heart; and frost and fire are both
alien to the human flesh. Famine and
gluttony alike drive nature away from the
heart Of man..

IRONING HINT.-Have the irons good

LOVE is like a hunter, who cares not for
the game when once caught, which he

THE PILOT.
BY JULIA P~LEASANTS.

On the bosom of the river
Where the sun Embossed his culver,
Or the starlight streamed forever,
Sailed a vessel light and free.
Morning dew drops hung like mamma
On the bright folds Of her banner,
While the zephyr rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea
At her PROV, a pilot beaming,
In the flush of youth, stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming,
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breeZeS SpOrted,
And as on the wave he fioated,
Oft that pilot, angelthrOated,
Warbled lays OF hope and love.
Through these locks SO brightly flowing,
Buds Of laurel bloom were blowing,
AM his hands anon were throwing
Music from the Tyre of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple waves divided,
And a rainbow arch abided
On his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Praying that no wild commotion
Mids the elements might rise.
And he seemed SOME young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water flags corolla
Trembled to his music signs.
But those purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside a city haunted
Byan awful spell that daunted
Every conner to her shore.
Night shades rank the night encountered.
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus-eaterS slumbered,
And awoke to life no more,
Then there rushed with lightning quickness,
Ger his face a mortal sickness,
And the dews in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair,
And there swept a dying murmur
Though the lovely southern summer
As the beauteous pilot conner
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his culver,
And the starlight streams forever,
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And the pilots lutte drops mama {.
> On the purple waves no more.

vEGETINE
CURED HER.
DORCHESTER, MASS, June II.

DORCHESTER, MASS, June II.
DR.. STEvENs!-
Dear Sir,-I feel it my duty to say one word in
regard to the great benefit l have received from the
use Of one of the greatest wonders of the world; it
is your Vegetine. I have been one of the greatest
sufferers for the last eight years that ever could be
living. I do sincerely thank my God and your Vege-
tine for the relief l have got. The Rheumatism has
panied me to such an extent that my feet broke out
in sores. For the last three years l have not been
able to walk; now I can walk and sleep, and do my
work as well as ever 1 did, and I must say I owe it
all to your blood purifier, Vegetine.
WELLS.
VEGEr1NE.-The great success of the vEGETINE as
a cleanser and purifier of the blood is shown beyond
a doubt by the great numbers who have takenit, and
received Immediate relief, with such remarkable
cures.

BoRAX, OR Work MADE EAsY.-Our
lady readers who have not tested the magic
properties of borax, have been losing a
great help and comfort. If once used,
you will never be without a bottle on YOUR
toilet table. It removes stains and dirt
from the hands better than soap, and at
the same time softens and smooths the
skin. 1t Is splendid for washing the hair.
and will, without injury, cleanse brushes
and combs in a few moments,
For washing purposes it saves both SOAP
and labor. It will extract the dirt from
articles of delicate texture without rub
bling; it being only necessary to put the ar
t1cles In soak with a solution of borax
e night, and will need only to be rinsed
in the morning. Two tab~lespoonsful of
.pulverised borax dissolved in a quart of
water, to which water enough is added to
cover a pair of blankets, will cleanse them
beautifully. It also saves great labor in
washing paint. IT'S said to drive away
ants and reaches, If sprinkled on the
shelves of safes and pantries,

HOUSEHOLD HINTs.--A spoonful of
vinegar should always be put into water
in which fish is boiled.
When there is danger of staining the
hands from preparing fruit and vegetables,
rub them with fresh lard.
When washing oil-cloths, put a little
milk in the last water they are washed
with. This will keep them bright and
clean longer than clear water.
To keep lemons fresh, place them in a
jar with water enough to cover them.
They will keep fresh in this way several
days without changing water.
Soft tinted muslins require careful wash
ings. They will not fade if soaked and
rinsed in a solution of one tablespoonful
OF alum, and one of salt in a gallon of wa
ter.
Meat can be prevented from scorching,
during the roasting process by simply
pla cling a basin or cup of water in the oven.
The steam generated not only prevents
scorchlng, but makes the meat cook nice.

The first word in the title is an adj
iecti0e, and has reference to teachers
who scold their pupils. A few teach
ers-we are glad the number is small
have formed the habit Of scolding
the pupils fcr every little thing that
goes wrong. They seem to think that
athe only way to maintain their author
ity, and to increase the energy of the
pupils is to find fault continually. If
the school is noisy, the teacher scolds
if a boy drops his slate, the teacher
scolds; if little girl fails in her lesson,
the teacher scolds. Such expressions
aus 1T never saw such q noisy school"
Why do you make such a noise?' Why
don't you hurry UP" and the like are
continually heard. The teacher may
not, and probably does not know that
this is scolding but to the pupils the
fact is painfully evident. This is
wrong, all wrong. A scolding teacher
rarely governs a school well, and man
y q pupil has been so discouraged by
such q teacher that he has relaxed in
his honest efforts to do we'll, and has
become careless and dull.
Talk as we will, humanity in general
likes praise and dislikes ccn8ure. "A
teacher can get more out Of a school
by praising the pupils, than by drum
ming their faults into their ears.
If boy has transgressed the rules
of school, talk with him earnestly, but
don't scozd. If it becomes necessary to
punish a pupil, do so quietly, firmly
and, efectyaJJy, but don't scold WhileI
you are doing it. and don't ever refer
to it again.

swar to a problem, don't scold her, but

NAMES OF VEHICLES.
From All fine Wear Rom

EIOIl ALI the year round,
Among the medley Of names at pres
emit or recently given to pleasure car
riages some are unintelligible, while
others defy all chronological scrutiny.
The landau is named from town in
Germany; it is coach that may be
used opened on closed at pleasure. The
landaulet, as it's name implies, is a
lighter and smaller landau. The ba-
r0uche, q fayorite open carriage iii
Summer, is Of French origin, as is the
barouchet. The britzschka was intro
duced from Russia about half a cen
tury ago. Why the phaeton is so
named we cannot pretend to say; but
the vehicle so-called belongs to the
bar0uche and britzschka group. The
cabrioleti is French, and SO is the visa
Wis. DroltZschka came from Russia or
from Poland-an odd kind of an affair,
modified in England into q vehicle fit
ted for inyalids, aged persons, and
children, with its Formidable name
shortened into drosky. The curricle
is one Of the few kinds of tWo-wheel-
ers, with two horses abreast; while
the tandem is q struggling affair with
two wheels and two horses but one of
the horses behind the other. The cab
(short fol- cabriolet) is a handy bach
alor's vehicle; the gig is about Che
lightest Of all, being little more than
an open-railed chair, supported on tile
shafts by two sidesprings: the dog
cant is gig, with 4 space underneath
to contain either dogs or luggage

eoach-maker who invented it, is mod

a noble lord, is another of the family

Miss Dennets whose elegant stage
dancing WAS much in vogue about the
time this vehicle came into use. The
French misanthrope, for one person,
was probably the origin Of our sulky.
The fly is 4 roOmY carriage let out to-
hire; why it is so called is not quite
clear. The French iiacre neither de
notes 4 particular person nor a special
origin; there happened to be Il figure
Of st. Fiaere in front Of the building
where the first lender of these vehicles
kept them. When we consider how
readily the name hanson has come In.
to use among rs, as the designation Of
4 vehicle, we need not marvel at the
French having adopted fiacre. Yicto-
ria, clarence, brougham, are SO many
proofs OF the ease with which the
names of persons are given to new
forms Of carriages. All the Year

TEACHERS CERTIFICATES.

Several persons holding certificates
Of qualification from the superinten-
tandents of other counties Of the 3tato
have requested Supt Mahoney to en-
dorso said certificates, and allow them
to teach in this county without being
examined. This he has refused to do,
as he can find nothing in the law which
allows him to endorse a certificate
from another county. Mr.. Flett made
an effort to raise the standard in this
county, and succeeded and Supt. Ma
honey does not propose to lower any
from this standard. Hence those who
expect to teach in this comfy must at
tend the examinations. No certificate
will be given this spring for a longer
term than six months, and on the Ger
tifcate given next fall, the per cent of
attendance at the fall Institute will be
marked.

q. Is there any legal way to dis

by having his certificate annulled?
"a The certificate is merely pYima

ToTHE EDITOR or THE TELEGRAPH
DEAR SIR Permit me space to allude
to an article in Kenosha TELEGRAPH,
under date March 81, 1873, under head
ing of Danger Ahead"
The writer states that / informed
him that the expenses of streets and
alleys was $4,000 for the year 1917.
Also that I stated that the Chairman
of the Committee on Streets and Al
leys had drawn the sum of $25O0. And
that there had been collected for poll
tax the sum Of $500 more, making the
aggregate sum of $4,000.
[ did not, nor could [ have made the
statements without b7o20i91gzy Uio7a-
ing The truth Tor the following reasons:
In the first place, I knew that the
Chairman on Streets and Alleys had
drawn but 5000, which was appropria-
ted by the Council to be expended for
streets and alleys Consequently would
not have stated that he had drawn
$25o0.
[ could not have stated that $500
had been collected from poll tax, for
the full amount collected has not to
this date been reported to me.
But if I he'd said to the writer that
the expenses of Streets and Bridges
would aggregate the amount Of $1,000
it would have Appropriated the amount
expended for that account-but from
this amount must be deducted tie
amount expended for bridges, amount
ing to 100 or 1900 dollars, the balance
of which said account Will show that
the amount expended for streets and
alleys proper is not in excess Of former
years.
The accounts Of the city as exhibit
ed on the books in my Office under the
various heads Of expenses OF. the city
are the property Of the citizens, and
are at al times open to the inspection
OF any one who may wish to see or OK
anime them, and the facts will show
that the annual expenses Of the fiscal
year 1877 ere less than the expenses
for any one year for period Of nine
years.

1877 proper, is as follows to date Of
