Old Age.

G The whole of life may be divided into
three periods THAT of growth, maturity
and decay.
The first is characterized by changes
in substance, size, form, powers and sus-
capabilities.
j The second is characterized by fixed
ness. Food no longer growsto growth,
but simply makes good what the system
wastes in its working. 1t is the period
of labor, enterprise and intellectual
mastership over nature. t2
The third-say from sixty onward--is
the opposite of the first, and would be of
the second, were we not able to carry
along our accumulated treasures of ex-
perienee, knowledge, habits and much
of the momentum gained in our best
years At the best, however, it is one
of increasing decay. a
lack of nourishment-and ''degenera-
ton change of muscular fibre into fat
or explain this decay in the main.
The food may be enough, but the power
to get rid of the waste of the system, and
to replace it with good nerve, muscle,
membranes, heat and strength is less
ened. Hence there is universal shrink
age, which is not confined to the muscles,
but extends to the brain, spinal cord,
nerve trunks, lungs, liver, and in still
greater degree, to the spleen and lynn
phatic glands.
The heart and kidneys-by a wise pro.
vision of nature retain their normal
size, the first even generally becoming
larger. The vacuum around the shriveled
brain and lungs is filed with waterY
fluid from the blood The lungs are
drawn toward the back bone, and the
chest proportionately falls in. Their
surface is quite uneven. Their power
to throw off carbonic acid yearly
decreases, becoming from one-fourth to
one half less. This is largely due to the
weaker and shallower breathing. n
The veins lose much of their elasticity,
and their walls especially in the lower
half of the body-increase in size and
thickness. The blood is less in quantity.
more fluid and eoagulates more readily
The pulse is slow, hard and wiry. The
heartbeat is more irregular The above
are some OF the characteristics of normal
old age ToiRh'S Companion.

Spelling aud Composition.

Col. w. F. Parker writing in the Min
nesota journal of Education, says: We
give to spelling so much of our import
ant titHets What is it? 1t is makmrthe
form of word That is sYspehing. per
Sc. Oral spelling is the description of q
word. naming its parts. A child can
spell, e, learn the letters of a word,
but might merely get it from sound.
Spelling should be description, as if
drew house, which would be describing
it. One of old Commenius' principles
is this: Things that have to be done
should be done. by doing them" The
powers of the teacher seem to have been
directed to doing d thing .bydoing some
thing else. As soon as the child begins
to read he Spells. Oral spelling should
be put off till the second year TO make
sure that he gets the form right. 1 he
first year, should be given to copying
words. Much teaching is merely at
tempted forcing out of the mind what
has not yet gotlinto it. Never spell any
words for child unless that child can
follow with the idea, as the pencil traces
the word. Hethus learns the written and
the spoken language together learns to
read and write at the same time If
all the spelling books were piled up
and set on fire they would give more
light TO the world than they ever did TO
the school-room! The purpose of SPELL
ing is composition. In the first year
provide the pupil with correct copy of
mental pictures. Give sentences, have
the children copy them, and after they
are erased have them reproduce them.
Give the thought of what spelled. The
next year teach spelling by dictation.
Train child to know when he does
not know word. He will then never
spell wrong. All spelling can be taught
in composition. Children can be made
to love to talk with the pencil A child
knowsa united thought by expressing
it. Do an act and have them write it,
or let them tell it orally, Z, All of gram
mar can be taught in beautiful way by
action. Put no false syntax on the board;
the wrong form is as likely to remain in
the child mind as the right Be right
from the start. Pictures can be utilized
in the writing of compositions. The
little ones may write one, two or three
sentences only about picture, but by
the second year the child can write
story about it. In the third year it can
write a page of composition entirely
correct Is that not foundation for
grammar? Another way of teaching
composition is to tell the child stories,
and have it treproduce them in its own
words. In object teaching there is as
much nonsense asin anything else. The
fundamental mistake is that teachers
attempt the impossible. They fail to
understand that the child cannot see
what they can see and consequently talk
above their heads.

Hedge Fences.

1t makes but little difference whether
you plant Usage orange or hawthorne
for fencing in your farm. Either one
makes 3 good fence when properly at
tended to, and neither one makes fence
at all when neglected. The Usage orange
will make a fence in less time than
hawthorn, but it will cost more to keep
it in order, on account of its thrifty
growth, unless you Jet it take its own
course, as our worthy (or unworthy
trustees do the one growing on the
burial grounds of our county seat. Said
hedge is twenty five or thirty feet high,
and where it is thin enough for COW to
walk through they have put in boards
and nailed them to the stems of the
hedge. That kind of fence would
call nuisance. The nice thing about a
well-set hedge fence is, you always have
asurplus of material. and the brush or
trimmings will always pay to gather and
burn them; whereas, in-repairing rail
fence you must always supply new rails
in place of those that have rotted out.
The hedge fence if taken care of, is an
everlasting fence. I.never knew one to
die that was taken care of. [ could
show you hedge fences more than a
hundred years old, and good fences yet
good enough to turn hogs or horses.
IAwould adviss every farm that has
nice laying farm to plant hedge fence
for road and line fences 1t don make
any difference whether it is hard froze,
or wet from the last big rain, you can
trim hedge fence all the same; in fact,
winter is the time to shape up the hedge
fence With agood hedge fence around
your farm you can rest contented till
morning Without being afraid the wind
will blow down the line fence and let
your neighbor's stock in your fields of
grain. | admit there are other kinds of
fence that can be made quicker and
cheaper than hedge, but they will event.
ually rot out, and then to replace makes
them the most costly of the two. Not
50 with the hedge It starts up every
spring and puts out its leaves and APP
pears to enjoy life with the fresh grass
and growing grain. As for the hedge
dying out on account of thin soil, it is
out of the question when sod is put
under and subsoil on top; the leaves from
the hedge will keep the soil rich enough.
| would rather attribute the cause of the
hedge dying to the surplus of stagnant
water poisoning the roots. .-Io,OG Home

A Remarkable Suicide.


IA wel-dressed man of fifty years went
into Thomas FL. Moff,att's shooting gal
lery at 484 Sixth avenue at ten o'clock
on Saturday evening and asked an em-
ployee at what honc the place was closed.
about half past twelve" said the en-
ployee. The man went away and re-
turned at 1928. There were no Gus
toners in the gallery, and Charles Has
kill and George Anglers, Moffatt's assis-
tants, were making ready TO close up
for the night. The stranger began a
talk with Haskill, and asked if he were
not afraid of accidents happening, and
remarked that firearms could not be-
handled too carefully. He said that a
friend of his had picked up pistol in a
shooting gallery at Washington, and to
guard against mishap had pointed il at
the floor while examining it. II was
discharged and shot him through the
FOOT A week later he was seized with
lockjaw and died. After relating this
mecdote the stranger asked what ranges
were used for pistol practice. Haskill
said hfteen PAGES, as the counter which
runs across the gallery prevented shorter
ranges. 4tf
Is len PAGES is the best distance to nv
mind, said the man, .sand / would like
to- shoot at that rangesp
Hesprafig across the counter, and
stepped often PAGES from the target.
Haskill loaded a. long duelling pistol of
,22-calibre., The ma took it from him,
and pointed it toward the target.
Is it all readyP'1 he asked.
q "Yes." said Haskill.
And 50 am - said the man; and,
putting the muzzle of the pistol to his
head back Of the right ear, pulled the
trigger. and fell to the floor dead N

Make Straight Paths.

Some Of my readers, no doubt, never
lived out on the prairie; so perhaps they
would like to hear a short story about !.
some Of the little folks who live on the /,
prairies of Western Iowa.
When commenced teaching. nv
school consisted of auite numbered
boys and girls who were always busy;
in fact. neveriknew one of themgto bes
id e, The time of which L s eak, was
early in the winter. and cold weather
had just begun. One ening a light
snow fell, and next morning the chill
dren were very brsy making snow-balls
or snow-men, and were all having q /.
very good time, when Johnnie cried
out: rem .ifi 409 Ef fi-e .4Hs has
- cts n axe wheelw
So at it they went. Selecting hazel
bush as the eente., they.alll started out
in different directions, each taking
twenty steps from the bush. This being
done, they looked behind to see their
paths, which were to be the spokes OF
the wheel. But alasr there was only
one straight track. f4 @ s4,e
Charlie said the others, ''how did
you keep your track so straightPn a1iE
why, that is. easy enough to tell. y
said Charlie. 81 took that pole for my
mark and keptmy. eyes on it, and never
looked. down oncen -
"But, said Joe. II took that bush
for my mark, and didn' getmy path as I
straight as yours. " by was this?''
'.Because you Kept looking at us,i'H
said the others, '.instead Of keeping !.
your eyes on the mark y
So remember this, boys, and girls
too. You all have path to make, and
the steps are your actions, They vii

Charlie did in the snow. Instead of .

your eyes on your own perfect work. ~.
