FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

SOME ADVANTAGES OF A FRUIT
DIEr.-"Fruit and fruit culture, as re-
lated to health" was the subject of
an address by Professor II. w. Parker
before the Iowa State horticultural
society, in which working among fruit
and living with it are commended to
a population who become bilious on
excess of meat. In temperate zones,
the author says, 1.-The dire experience
of almost universal disease, and the
evidence of those who have freely
used fruit, point to this as most
,needful article of diet, and when we
come to the tropics we find that men
must confine themselves mostly to
frUit-diet, a practice that should be
largely followed in our long, hot sum-
mers; yes, with your present habits OF
unwholesome living, especially in re-
spect TO confined air and cooking,
must be observed in winter as well.
In the warm temperate climates there
are enough examples of muscular,
long-lived people who live on mini
mum of animal food, such as those OF
the Grecian Archipelago, who subsist
on goats milk, figs, and maise bread.
Individual examples are to the same.

that quart or two of Strawberries,

THE FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST
Every household should possess a
medicine chest. 1t may be a little
corner closet or simply box, but it
should always have a lock and key.
1t should contain roll of old linen,
some lint, court-plaster, fine, soft
sponges, small glass syringe, med
icine tumbler, lime water, hnseed oil,
arnica and as many of the simple REIN
edies as the members of the family
know how to use The fact of hav-
ing these things all together in spot
where they can be found the instant
they are wanted will save much valua-
BILE time and considerable pain to the
patient.

CREAMERIES.- creamery ques-

paw every community to investigate
this matter. 1t means less work In
the household and more money in the

revolution in our dairying that speaks
well for the future. Proprietary
creameries are well enough in their

STAGNANT WATER-BAD MILK
Professor Law, of Cornell University,
caused some COWS TO drink for several
days from stagnant pool of water
that existed in swale, and having
examined the milk found it full of
living organisms. Then the water
from the pool was examined and the
same living creatures were found.
Then the cows were examined, and
they were found to be in feverish
condition, the result of their blood
being charged with these minute or
ganisms. Then some pure milk was
taken and some of this pond water
was put with it, and these same crea-
lures multiplied within few hours so
as TO take possession of the milk.
After this test no one can dispute that
living organisms may be introduced
into milk by the use of improper food
or drink. 1t also shows that there is
a close relation between good, pure
water and fine, good keeping diary
products. From a sanitary stand
point the lives and health of the con-
sumers are, to certain extent, de-
pendent upon the character of the
butter and milk. Radical cleanliness
can alone be tolerated in the dairy of
1888.

Whispering.

Whispering must be repressed with a
firm hand. II is seldom entirely prevent
3D. but may be checked so as to prevent
disturbance and annoyance. Pupils will
whisper just as grown people will talk,
when they find companions with VIII ON
they may carry on a conversation. A
rule which visits punishment upon every
offending one that whispers makes no
distinction between the vicious aud the
thoughtless, and is therefore unjust. If
pupils are unable at first to control their
desire to whisper, the teacher might with
profit give whispering recess of a min
ute or so every hour. Pupils will appre-
ciate the kindness, and then devote their
time during the study period entirely to
study. Keep the pupils busy and you
will have but little annoyance by whis
pering.

lead him to put his unconscious practical
knowledge in conscious order, which is
not q difficult task for pupil who has
had proper drill in language. I believe
IT to be the matter of orderly arrange
ment, to systematic all his une onscious
knowledge Of the forms of language until
ne has constructed grammar for him
self He builds the structure of the
science of language for himself, and
learns to analyzc and eeneralize until he
has put all his knowledge into scientific
order. This IS teaching grammar in con-
nection with language Processes of
analysis and rules of syntax are useless
only as far as they contribute to this end.
Viewed from this standpoint I believe
very much of the machinery of English
grammar, so called, as it is often taught
in schools. is of no practical use to the
pupil, but serves to waste time and IN
tellectual energies. Without doubt, &C
cordlng to the modes Of instruction long
prevalent. too much time has been given
to impressing upon memory mere theory
technical rules and definitions without
a corresponding amount of practice in the
actual use of language.

During one Of General Bragg's can.

tiers with nothing to do was ordered tc

charge, they raised the rebel yell and
rushed forward; but the colonel's horse

and refused to move. On went the men,
but the colonel beast held the ground.
But about the time the opposing line
broke, the colonel got under way, and

Language and Gram mar.

A very interesting paper on Language
and Grammar" was read by Supt. s. s.
Taylor, of St. Paul, at the recent State
Teachers Association. It is worthy of
careful thought. The following is sy.
nopsls of the paper:
The ideas of what constitute an educa
ton are SO different that similar answers
pertaining to the use of any branch of
study could hardly be expected. Perhaps
the practical in our lives lc too much over
10 )ked in the hurry and rush in which we
move, and the artificial is allowed to pre-
dominate over the real. There is too
much surface work Instead of deep dig
glng. Let the pupils learn to talk by Civ
ing them something to talk about. Cor
rect wrong expressions, suggest better
ones train them to clothe their thoughts
In correct language by giving them prac.
tice in that kind of work. Fluent and
correct Repression should be the object
sought in language teaching. Correct
expression depends upon the knowledge
and use of some important principles of
language, based on grammar for their
foundation. The cultivation of language
in our pupils is the object sought, but by
far too little gained, l am convinced
that danger lies in too great forcing
process in instruction given in language.
Very young children can be taught to rec
ognize nouns, pronouns. ETC.. but sup
pose they can do all this and more-what
is the good of all this in their early school
life? What is needed here is to write a
better letter, spell better, use proper CAPT
tails and marks of punctuation, The
thing to be impressed is, that thought
must have embodiment in language. We
need that method of instruction in Ian
guage which shall make the pupils the
possessors of principles and rules of cor
rect language, but also give actual prac-
tice in the use Of language. The first
step in teaching a pupil grammar is to
