Thomas c. Dunn In A Hurry.

Mr.. 7. c. Dunn, living at Cape Elizabeth, Me-,
walked into the office Of Drs Smith and McNul-
len the magnetic physicians at the United States
Hotel two weeks ago last Thursday, and hanging
his hat upon the floor said in an awful voice, II
hear you are curing everything. Now, 1 want
you to cure me of my dyspepsia and am in
hurry about it," The doctors told Mr.. Dunn they
would do the best they could, but some of those
eases we're of very long standing and it might
take time to cure him. He stated he had suffered
untold agonies with his stomach for more than
seven years. 1t commenced with faint all-gone
feeling, and his stomach would swell after eating
so he could not have his clothes tight about him'
he would expel great quantities of gas and al
ways at such times the contents Of his stomach
would be very sour with burning heat, and a
feeling as If there was a lump In his stomach. He
grew very nervous, could sleep only little while
at a time He lost in flesh from strong man OF
I7S to 124. OF course Mr.. Dunn was being doc
tored more or less all the time and using every
thing the kind old ladies would take him, but he
gradually grew worse. From the day he called
upon Drs. Smith and McMullen he commenced to
mend and is attending to his work once more.
Drs. Smith and McMullen are constantly max
ing these kind of cures. They treat every form of
chronic trouble.
They are now permanently located at the U. s.
Hotel and can be consulted free from a. m.
to p. m.

The infant schools represent an inter-
mediate degree between the maternal
schor and the primary schools proper.
Children Of both sexes are admitted from
the ages OF 4 Z. The scope o. instruc-
ton here comprehends that of the ma

latter receive little girls from the age Of

courses: The elementary course for chill

those from II to 10.
In the primary schools proper the
sexes, as we have said. are separated.
The tuition given 10 the girls includes,
first, instruction in morals and civic
duties; secondly. reading and writing;
thirdly, the French language; fourthly,

FEMALE EDUCATION IN FRANCE.

schools where Girls Receive Gratuitous
charlottesville Studies Pursued.
In recent number Of Tie Revue des
Deux Mondes the present state of female
education in France is carefully exam-
ined from the hygienic point Of view by
DIR. Jules Rochard, an eminent member
of the Paris Academy Of Medicine. Tie
system Of instruction for girls in the
French public schools is impugned upon
the ground that the mental work im-
posed upon them is too hard and too un-
interrupted, and that sufficient heed is
not paid 20 physical culture. DIR. Roch-
ard considers the playground and the
gymnasium quite as indispensable feat
ures Of girls school as the recitation
room, Many measures calculated 10 pro-
mote the health of pupils are suggested,
and among those which. il is urged,
should be carried out at home or in board
ing schools and converts, is the daily
practice of bathing the whole person in
cold water. We learn from DR.. Rochard
that this mode Of bathing still meets with
very little favor even in the families OF
the French aTistocracy, notwithstanding
their inclination to adopt many English
ways.
Aside, however. from the effect Of the
new school system on the health Of the
pupils-a question which is just now ex-
citing particular attention in Paris-the
article In The Revue contains some inter-
esting statistics, showing the progress
made under the third republic in the ed
ucation Of girls, branch Of public duty
which, under previous regimes, had been
much neglected. Thus il appears that at
the date of the last census. published in
1882, there were in France 80, 400 schools
for girls and 17,72s schools 10 which yerv
young children of both sexes were admin
ted, sThe aggregate number Of female
pupils was 2,4Sf ,02i and this, II is esti-
mated. has by this time increased by
about 800, 900. The system Of organiza-
tion and instruction is the outcome Of
laws passed in October, 1856, and jan
uary, 1887. The schools where girls re
cciye gratuitous instruction are, first,
maternal schools; secondly, infant
schools; thirdly, primary schools. and
finally, the normal schools for those who
mean Go become teachers. 4
The ~ called maternal schools were
intended 10 replace the former asylum
balls, The latter were hardly more than
