of the public schools, while ON visit to
some friends in Virginia, expressed de-
sire to attend q country school and hear the
children recite; and communicated his
wish to the young lady principal. The
latter was anxious to maks the best show

days drill ing the boys on series of relig
ious and other questions. Her plan was to
give each boy one question, the questions
to be asked in fixed order. The day for
Captain Wlse's visit having arrived. just
before he entered, the principal sent one of
the boys into the yard to clean his ink
stand. She did not notice his absence
when she called his class to the front. 1t

Captain Wise was amused. He didn't

"Dont you know that God made you ?"
persisted the teacher evidently much en-
barrassed.
The boy began crying, and amid his sobs
he said, much to Captain Wise's amuse

him:

who bad just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school. 10 that all

its significance; see the thin white coating
of the tongue, aud later, as the cold de-
yeloped see the profuse watery expectora-
ton and thin watery discharge from the
nose, not ono of them would ever forget
what the FIST symptoms OF q cold were.
The scholar should then be given Cham

greatly %mittigated, when properly treated
