Prof. Hitchcock of Amherst Col
lege lately told his students that brain
work, properly engaged in, was health

Europe. Let US educators then dis
pense with much of this intense cram

mirable Sovereign, and that he, like his
father, would have been true and great
ally of this country

ries about with her all day q small dag
fan, bought at some fancy
fair and ofno intrinsic value, which hap
pened TO be her sons last gift to her. |
She listens to all that is said to her,
steadily regarding the flower painting |
on the fan. The immediate concern Of 1
those about her is not for the fate of the |
