Training The Body.


CONTINUED from last week.
HOW To MAKE THE UPPER-ARM STRONG.
Take any convenient weight in the
| right hand; for example, heavy book,
a brick covered, or if possible, a dumb
bell
l. Let the right hand hang easily at
your side. Held the chin up. Breathe
deeply.
3. Raise it slowly and steadily until
you get it as near as possible to your
shoulder. Keep your elbow as near your
body as possible.
8. Lower the weight slowly until it is
at your side.
4. Repeat the exercise with your left
arm. If you grasp your upper arm in
front, with yonr left hand, while you are
exercising it, you will find the muscles
grow larger and harden until the weight
gets near your shoulder. This exercise
should not be repeated more ten times at
first with each hand without stopping.
After some practice the number of times
can be much increased.
REMARKS AND CAUTIONS.
l. No two pupils can use the same
weights or take the same amount of exer-
else.
3. Never permit a strong boy to 'show
off," The ambition of weak, deter
mined child will lead him to exert him
self beyond the limit of safety.
4. Heavy weights are extremely use
full in physical exercise, but they must be
under the control Of The teacher. If they
cannot be, their use should be abandon
cd; more injHry than good will result.
In some schools they are prohibited be-
cause their use cannot be regulated.
Here is an instance in which the "must"
should be exercised with decision.---The

THE DAIRY.

Tho place where milk Is kept must
b0 kept clear Of communicating doors.
The dairyman who neglects to sup
ply his CO.'S with salt, ncglects very
wise and even necessary part Of dairy
practice.
Change the cows food once in .
while. She will appreciate 1t. Even .
change to les, valuable food for time
or two occasion ally would be profitable.
II We will 60 TO work snd get all out
Of good COW that there Is in her, We
shall conclude that We have found
good enough al purpose COW for prac-
tical purposes. Western Rural.
Notwithstanding some breeds OF
cows seem to be better adapted TO tho
dairy than Others are, prize-butter has
been made from the milk Of nearly every
breed known TO the American market.
The COW may work well, the churn
may work we'll, and the conditions may
be perfect, but IL there is not IN active
brain behind the whole thing, It will DO
like an engine without any fire under
the boiler.
The New York Tribune says: 1T
has been we'll said that man is para
site OF the cow. Her flesh and her milk
enter into our diet, and on her health
hinges our own sanatlve condition. Lit
tie do we realize how the minor disor-
ders Of . mich animal contribute to
human i'll health
If you have not been feeding the
COW right and taking good care Of her
generally, she will likely show symp-
toms Of being out Of condition sooner or
later. No need to send for . veterin.
arian. Simply use her right, will be the
proper treatment and 1t will be reason
ably cheap, too.
A writer in the Agricultural Gazette
(Irclandl says that the actual average
life Of . cow Is eight years, yet her pro-
ductive life may be prolonged to twenty
years. The best COW he owns is the
thirteenth calf Of her dam. He knows
IN Ayrshire COW that gives thirteen
quarts Of milk in day when she is too
old for age to be detected by her horns.
lie asks in view Of these and other SIM
liar instances, why are cows useless 1T
eight years old? A cow properly cared
for is then in her prime, and may COM
pare with man forty years old.
The American Cultivator says: When
: COW Is thin, and especially II she be
losing flesh. her milk can not be- rich in
fat. and what there is will make poor
butter and come slowly. This Is the
trouble thai many farmers find at the
beginning Of winter. Cream that could
be- made into butter in fifteen or twenty
minutes has now % be churned an hour
or moro. The remedy il to feed the cows
more heavily, and with something that
will increase fat IS we'll as milk flow. II
the cow be worth keeping IS mixer
she will not dry up and become beefy
under such treatment. IL she does it is
fair warning that she is worth more to
the butcher than for the dairy.

A FEW DoN'Ts.

The Right wsy and the Wrong way q
Using and PronOuncing Some Common
Words.
Don't use don't" for docs not. !"
Don't" is an abbreviation OF do not.
We can rightly say II don't, you don't,
we don't" Hut what do you think Of
''He do not, she do not, it do not?' And
yet this is what you are saying over and
over every day Of your lives when you
say ''He don't, she don't 1t don't"
Don't use ant" pronounced .'aint,"
though It should not be spelled that
way) for isn't or is not Ant is an alb
breviation of lam not" or ARE not"
an ugly word according to my way Of
thinking, and the less it is used the bet
ter. But II you can not get along with
out it, remember that when you say he
ant she ant. it ant, you are really
saying HE am not, she am not, 1t am
not
Don't say '.ponaper' and mommer," but
papa and mamnM. with the emphasis
on the last syllable. ! can always tell IN
English girl or boy by her or his pr0nun-
citation OF these words. They pronounce
them correctly. and see no reason why
their American cousins should not do
the same, especially when you take in
to consideration that they sound ever
SO much prettier when spoken as they
should be. So girls and boys, practice
the correct way until you have It per
feet, and then 60 and teach it to your
teacher. For, between you and me, all
of them that ever met were as faulty in
their pronunciation Of mamma and papa
as you arc.
Don't say dorg. instead of dog. How
would you pronounce bog. fog, log
and all other one-syllable words ending
in o-g. Well. pronounce dog to rhyme
with them and you'll be right. Don't
leave of the e. in such words rs TAX
ing, laughing. singing, etc. A great
many people do, and as consequence
we often hear sentences like the follow

WONDERS or CYPRUS.
A River Springs Up and Dies Away In q
Hours Time.

A River Springs Up and Dies Away In N
HOur's Time.
A sudden thaw in spring Is common
enough cause of the swelling and over
fow of rivers. but few people have ex-
perience Of what might be called mag
ic rivers which disappear almost as
suddenly as they are born. One such,
however, is described by w. H. Mallock
in his account Of Cyprus, entitled 'In
an Enchanted Island"
On a certain evening there was sue
cession Of thunder showers, and then all
the night heavy and ceaseless down
pour. This" said my host in tho
morning, fought to bring down the
river" asked what he meant by this,
and he answered that the river below
us was rarely any thing more than .
dry bed Of pebbles, just as it was now.
But generally once-sometimes three
times-in the year 1t would suddenly fill
with water, flow for an hour or two. and
again become dry and silent. / felt
that the sight must he curious and
wished that might be able to witness
ii.
About four o'clock in the afternoon
servant came to my bedroom and asked
me to 60 into the garden. There found
my host with an opera-glass, standing
on the bank.
.'I-ook. exclaimed he, pointing; sit
is coming. Listen! You can hear it."
listened and looked. at last caught
sound, faint and uncertain, rs leaves
rustling in dream. Then suddenly,
far away on the plains, l saw something
flash, like the head Of q pointed spear.
Gradually this prolonged itself into .
slim. shining line, which presently took
curve. For time its course was
straight; then it curved again.
In ten minutes, over the brown SUR
face OF the field the water had stretched
itself like long. silvery snake, and the
sound 1 had heard, growing every in
slant more distinct, explained itself to
the ear Is the voice of the stirred peb-
bles. The river channel skirted the
bottom Of the garden, and thus, as the
food went by we had every opportunity
OF observing it. 1t pushed itself for
ward, headed by mass OF pebbles and
scum; it split itself into fierce rivulets,
| which moment later were drowned
in the body Of the stream; it gurgled
against banks; it circled into transit0ry
whirlpools.
Gradually, as we watched, its volume
seemed to diminish, and in an hours
time there was only trickling rill
over which child five years old might
have stepped.
