Prof. Cope says that American dem

tives of the United States very liable
to imperfect growth or suppression,
and to degree entirely unknown
among savage or even many civilized
races The same suppression has been
observed in the outer pair of superior

reduction in the size of the arches Of
the jaws, but to successfully prolonged
delay in the appearance of the teeth

Bringing Up the Baby.

Every mother has her own ideas as
to how to bring up her babies Alright,
and it is a matter on which few agree.
But we otter think that some mothers
make mistake in not treating their
little ones as if they were reasoning
creatures. Notice how pleased tiny
little tots are when given some re-
sponsibility. As soon as they begin to
toddle, if taught Alright, they like TO
help mother by picking up or carry
ing some trihe for her or doing any
similar act. Then is the time to be-
gin training them to be real helpers.
Of course, it often seems real bother,
for one may do things quicker without
this hinderins assistance. But it is a
part of the child education. Similar
ly, babyhood Is none too early to be-
gin teaching politeness, and the proper
way is 10 be us polite To the baby as TO
any one else. People sometimes think
that child does not feel discourtesy--
we hold a contrary opinion. Some
little Sights that were not meant as
such, offered in our extreme child
hood, are remembered to this day, and
all sensitive children suffer in The
same wav.-Eanitg Louise Tdplen.

CUTTING A STICK.
John Randolpk's Tender Love for All
Works of Nature.

John Randolpk's Tender Love for All
Works of Nature.
John Randolph was n curious bundle
of inconsistencies: Il man whom many
persons admired, but who was feared
by every one and loved by no one.
When the mood was upon him, he
spared neither friend nor foe. Yet in
his own way he was tender-hearted,
and capable Of performing the very
kindest actions. The following anec-
dote, related by a young man who was
accustomed to visit his nephew, illus
trates one side OF this strange mans
nature:
Mr. Randolph would never permit
even Il switch to be cut anywhere near
his house, which was surrounded by
trees and underbrush. Without being
aware of this, one day committed
serious trespass. Tudor Randolph and
l were rowing through the woods near
the house, when l noticed neat hick-
DRY plant, about an inch thick, which
l felled. Tudor expressed his regret,
saying he was afraid his uncle would
be angry. l went Immediately to
Mr.. Randolph, told him what / had
done, and that was sorry for it. He
took the stick, looked pensively at it
for some seconds, as If commiserating
It's fate. Then, looking at me more in
sorrow than in anger, he said:

THE DISTRICT SCHOOL.



Women for school OHicers.
II the school is failure it is usually
on account OF poor teacher. II the
teacher is incompetent it is usually
the fault of the school officers. II the |
school officers are inefficient it il the |
fault Of the voters in the school district. |
Thus the blame for poor school rests
with the people. The people like to
shirk this responsibility, but it belongs
to them and they must bear it.
A good school costs something; it
costs money and it costs time. Money
is usually spent, but not quite enough;
IL little more would secure a much bet
tea teacher for the full year; a little
more would furnish the school-house
with modern appliances; "a little more,
judiciously expended, would make the
school-hoisc and grounds more at
tractive. Tho cost of time comes
hardest. 1t is so easy to find excuses
for not visiting the school. The sue
cess of the school depends somewhat
on your personal effort. Visit the
school, visit it often. visit it intelli-
gently.
All this you may say is true enough,
but show shall we have the best
SCHOOL," First and most important,
elect good men or women for school
officers. In some places aposition on the
school board is held in little respect,
and any man will do. This is wrong;
in some respects members OF school
boards are the most important
officers you have to select. Should
all the school districts in the
country, for the next twenty-five years,
elect competent men or women, who
were thoroughly alive to their duties.
every Office in our government, from
President down, would have worthy
incumbent. Select, then, officers who
understand how to give your child an
education and who will take the time
to attend to the work. This is of vital
importance. an error that can hardly
be remedied until another school meet
ing.
J The matter OF liberal appropriations
J has been touched upon. Don't be
, stingy here. Run the school as you
would any other profitable business.

I erly, so do those for the school-room
A school-room without good black.

Get the Best There Is.

When you are sick or in ill health, you
should always get the best remedies known
to the medical sciences for the best and
most speedy restoration of your health. No
one can afford to be sick long, besides it is
very unpleasant. Saur & Balsley always
make it specially to keep full stock of
first class remedies for the cure of coughs,
colds, Group, headache, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, etc.. in fact all the diseases most
prevalent in this section of the country, SO
that any and all can be supplied with just
such remedies as are best adapted to their
case. A few of the remedies which come in
to general use such as pain killers, cough
cures, dyspepsia cures and liver remedies, do
not cost much, and if kept on hand, will
very often alleviate much suffering and pre-
vent what might otherwise bring fatal re-
suits,
