School ChiIdren,s Headaches.

DR.. A. jacob, of New York, in paper
ON Neuralgia in Infancy and Child
hood" read before the Kings County
Medical Society, said Of the hard
worked school children nowadays, their
long confinement in school-rooms and at
home, the consecutive disorders OF the
circulation, the insufficient oxygenation
of the blood because OF lack of exercise,
the digestive disorders resulting from
their sedentary life, are just as many
causes of impoverishment of the blood
and insufficient nutrition and stimulation
of the nervous system. In all these
cases headaches are very frequent.

Thomas Carlyle had very humble
origin. His father was a stone-ma
and worked as day laborcr. But he
was honest and upright and impressed
his sturdy character upon his children.
Though he had not had the advantages
of nm education, he decided that Thorn
as should attend school. So he sent
him away TO study, against the advice of
his neighbors, who prophesied that
when he became learned he would de-
spise and forget his humble parents.
These sinister predictions were far
from being realized. How ahundantly
the son honored His father he writes,

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Secretary Window has decided that
journalists are entitled import duty free seer
tain books for their libraries.
Guiteau has been placed in solitary
confinement in the Jail, by order OF District
Attorney Corkhill. He Is to receive neither
visitors nor communications, and the guards
are not to talk with him. He will thus be held
to await the result of the Presidents injuries.
Guiteau complains of his prison treat
ment. He thinks he is q person Of great inn
portance, and that, his offense being Of po-
Itica character, he ought to be treated
with more consideration than ordinary pris-
oners. He claims to be gentleman accus-
toned 10 luxury, etc. The Jail authorities do
not take him at bis ow n estimate, however, and
have commenced to treat him as an ordinary
felon- This is having good effect on him.
Under 1t his vanity is diminishing somewhat,
and he is not so lordly in his manners as during
the first davs OF his confinement.

ting we'll. admit dust and dirt to tho move
ment, which soon lntcrferes with the running
parts OF the watch necessitating cleaning, re.
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out II
applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble and
expense. We have recently seen case that
meets all these requirements, 1t haying been
carried for over twenty years and stall remains
perfect. We refer TO the JAS. BOSS PntenL
Stiffened Gold Case, which has become one
OF the staple articles OF the Jewelry trade,
possessing as It does SO many advantages over
all other watch cases, being made OF two
heavy plates OF solid gold over plate OF COM
position. And we advise all our readers to ask
their Jeweler FOR a card or catalogue that Will
explain the manner n which they are mate.'
1t Is the only StiHcned Case made with two
plates or gold, seamless pendants, and centre,
solld joints, crown pieces, &C., all OF which arc
covered by letters patent. Therefore buy no
