THE STUDY OF HISTORY.
Colonel Higginson's clever Ideas o"
The Subject,

Colonel HIgginson gave very clever
and entertaining lecture in Boston,
lately, on the study OF history. he held
that history, to be attrrctive to children
/ must not be told II fiction. Children
crave for, yearn for, not the fictitious,
but the real, and their imaginstlons
make the real out of the fictitious, thus
putting Us in the position OF talking his
tory to the them in spite of ourselves.
To illustrate his point, Colonel Biggln'
son told OF of little boy whose ouly
knowledge of the cat kind was squeak
| ing rubber cat at home One day, while
visiting, he found real cat, and to tho
friends who would take her from him
after he had made her squsll, he replied,
"Oh, don't 1t is the most real best noise l
ever heard cat do" All our making
history attractive to the children Is based
upon making it real to them. There
are two or three simple principles which
lie at the bottom of the study, aud 1t we
can only hold to them we shall succeed
in removing something Of this special
aversion to history which lies IN al our
minds. The first principle in the study
of history is to make 1t study OF facts.
The power to learn depends mainly
upon the presentation. In regard TO
history, the problem should be solved by
making il interesting; by meeting feeble
memories half way. The vast memories
of which we read are very rare gifts.
They are hardly TO be created or trained.
The second principle Is almost INSOFAR
able from the first. In order to fix
firmly IN the mind you should illustrate
them light them up. Don't think 1t is
a trife. Don't stand for the dignity OF
history. When you secure the bone,
the skeleton OF facts, give your knowl-
edge flesh, cover it with living graces,
Give the history what makes /! alive.
Don't imagine you cease to read history
when you lay aside the book called his
tory. Historical novels, old customs,
old furniture old kitchens, and old cloth
ing and the like are just as important as
the books. Without them the truth can
not be seen. There are whole pages OF
histories which are not SO valuable
for ireal knowledge of the period OF
which they treat as a stray anecdote IN
the corner of newspaper which made
that period living thing. The facts
which seem to US the unimpOrtsnt facts
are sometimes the important facts.
History should be studied for the prin-
clplcs OF life IS well as for statistics. We
should strive to keep less of dates and
more of the characteristics. Our study
of history ought not to be merely study
Of facts, nor imaginative study Of the
period, but we need to carry into it q
spirit of candor, such a judicial spirit
that we shall know both sides, and can
cherish spirit OF forgiveness, kindness,
and sympathy, instead of turning his
tory into an inheritance Of hatred-an
example of one-sided treatment.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top Of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss Of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There isgenerally aconsiderableloss
ofmemory,a accompanied withapai
ful sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A Slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercisewould be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edv. Several Of the above symp-
.oms attend the disease, but cases

listed, vet examination Of the body,

ECHA>ICS FALLS.


LEWISTON, july is. Three Russian officers
from the Clmbria arrived at Mechanic Falls or
Tuesday, and will leave tonight. They have
spent the time working most inlustriouslv, in
looking over the Evans rifles, and their manufac
ture. The guns have been subjected TO every
conceivable test, and have been pronounced with
out defect. The leader of the party, Wednesday
through an interpreter, asked to go to the store
room OF completed parts. Selecting at random
the several part., he sent for a workman. Mr..
Evans sent man from his force. who, in the
presence of the officers got up the gun and was
firing cartridges within seventeen minutes. The
officers express the highest confidence in the CUR
