10 the Parent 81 Guard Han; See tor ~
that TIE child noes 70 school Ia q proper
condition. THIS means, first Of all cleanlt.
ness all over. A child not washed all
over, Is not at for school. Some need q
( bath oftener. Children need to wash the
]. face and hands and to comb and brush
out the hair a. night as we'll as morning.
sLet the mouth be rinsed with water,
morning and evening, or the teeth be
brushed, to as to have pure breath.
Have clean, thin flannel for clothing
next to the skin, with such additional
outside .s garments as may bes
necessary for warmth, and shoes and
stockings that will protect the feet from
dampness. A dry pair of socks and
clean handkerchief are not amiss in the
satchel. Let no child start for school
Will, damp clothing. When active, we.
can bear ;dampness awhile; but to ait in
wet clothing is always q risk. Tell the.
child if he is damp or chilly to let the
teacher know it.
A good, plain, unhurried breakfast is
always important to the school child.
The young are better off without coffee
or tea; but some may need warm
drink for breakfast In cold weather
such as sweetened water, sugar ana milk,
and water or milk favored with cocoa.
If the child will not be at home and at
dinner within five hours after the close
of breakfast, have him to carry q small
and easily digested lunch to eat at re-
cess or at an appointed time in school.
It should be light bread and butter,
with. fruit or jelly and not overlarge il
there is to be mealat home by 2 o'clock.
Have the child chew before swallo owing.
as it cannot chew after swallowing, aa
cows do. Let every boy know that to.
bacco in any form, is 80 injurious to
growth and vigor as to make its use by
i'm breach of school laws and good
sense. See that the child gets plenty oil
good sleep in a well-aired room, and
does not 90 to bed just from the book,
80 as to be anxious about a lesson.
When child is really unwel, do not
send him to school, just for the name OF
being punctusl. The parents should
judge and decide wisely, mindful that
the headache, pain, or WEAKNESS of 8
child requires rest. If your child is sick,
or if there is sickness in the family, have
the judgment of your doctor as to the
time of staying at home.
To THE CH1LD.--1n sitting, do not lean
over too much or too constantly, While
standing, stand erect. Neither fold the
arms in front our put them behind, but
let them hang naturally and easily at the
sides. In studying, try to have enough
light without glare. If Lighter print
troubles you tell the teacher. If you are
really unwell, let him know it. A head
ache That may not require you to go
home may be reason for change of pc.
right and do not pretend: In all things
seek to take good care of your health,
since your happiness and usefulness SO
much depends upon it.

is believed he fell the whole distance from
the top of the ladder-about twenty-four
feet. Mr.. Breed was unconscious, and it
was supposed that his Injuries were of a very
serious nature, as his limbs and sides were

injuries and found as the result, however,

were also Of the opinion that he had re-
ceived no internal injuries.

This same statement was made by Carey at

that he had in his possession facts that

contributions from the contractors to their
campaign funds: That was the way in
which kellogg got his 81 900 from Price. It
is barely possible that other congressman
may be indicted on similar grounds.

Testing Garden Seeds.

Country Gentleman.
The difference between good seeds
which will be sure to give uniform
crops, and poor ones which may par
TALLY fail, is so great, so far as profit is
concerned, as to render any modes of
distinguishing the good from the bad
of much Importance. Practice and
close observation will enable any one,
in many cases, to distinguish them
readily by mere inspection; but the
inexperienced must test them by plant
ing. The Iowa Homestead gives some
simple rules for determining the quail
ity by inspection. Peas are easily ex-
amined by placing them between the
teeth. If only year old the teeth
will enter them easily. If old, they
will be found hard. New carrot seeds
have shade of green; old ones be,
come dull brown. Onion seeds are
more difficult to examine; but take
one at time and carefully bite it, and
old seed will be found tough, dry and
hard, while fresh seed will be more
tender and moist. Or, press the seeC
on white writing paper, and if good i
will leave trace. New cabbage seed
show pale green color when cut ; ole
seed will be dull brown. These, how
ever, will be good for some years. w
have found peas to terminate at 81,
years, but they were a week longer il
coming up. Radish, beet, lettuce, an,
several other kinds generally change il
the shade of color as they becom
older, and one of the most useful kind
of knowledge which any gardener ca
acquire, is obtained by examining oil
and fresh seed side by side in the wa

Feed of Cow Before and After
Calving.

As the period of calving approaches,
the cows system becomes much dis
turbed and the circulation is considera-
bly, increased. The animal is taxed to
the utmost to supply the blood needed
for the development of the calf, and
while in this condition very slight
cause, such as cold, or indigestion
from overlooking, may do great deal
of mischief 1t is therefore dangerous
to feed grain to COW for several weeks
before calving, Nothing is required
except good hay, with few roots or
two quarts of chopped potatoes daily;
no meal whatever should be given.
A bran slop should be given only when
required as laxative, and the a dose
of two ounces of EPSON Salts should be
mixed with it. Feeding grain stimu-
lates the milk organs unduly, and very
frequently produces garget, or con-
gested udder. 1t is a great mistake to
try to induce a large development Of
udder in the hope of obtaining large
milk yield afterwards. An hour or SO
after calving, a pailful Of bran sloT
with four ounces of EPSON Salts, and
handful of salt dissolved in it, will
allay any feverish symptoms that may
appear. 1t is advisable to greatly re
duce or totally withhold feed iron
twelve to twenty-four hours after calv
ing only water, with a handful o
bran stirred in it, should be given
, Then there may be fed one peck 0
raw roots, two quarts of corn meal
with all the good hay she will eat
r For the first few days wet the meal il
warm water, and give warm water
