of the Garrison example and the earnest
argument OF other nine owners that per-

dollars trying to get metal in paying

idle. One day "leaser" offered to take
the mine on royalty. He was heartily
ridiculed by the other miners. but he
went to work. taking a lead which had not

DR.. Henry l.. Bowditch has given the
imatological Association an account of
she treatment which seems 10 have coun-
teracted Strong tendency to consump-
tion In his own family. In 1908, his
father, then 35 years old, was undoubted-
ly threatened with consumption. On
August 20 of that year, when thus i'll, he
started from Salem, Mass, with a friend
ss his companion and driver, In an open
one-horse chaise, for tour through New
England. The trip lasted thirty days
and covered 74S miles.
During that time he passed from the
deepest mental encouragement and phys
zeal weakness through all stages of feel
ing up to a real enjoyment of life. His
Journey, though benetiting him immense
ly, probably did not wholly cure him, but
IL proved to him the absolute need he had

half TO two miles, taken three times daily.
all pulmonary troubles disappeared. He
died, thirty years after the journey, from
carcinoma of stomach, his lungs being
normal, except that one presented evil
aiences of an ancient cIcatrix at its apex
He prescribed for his children the same
regular out-of-door exercise which had
been so beneficial 10 him. As soon as
they were old enough they were required
60 tai daily morning walks of mile and
. half. If at any time they we're observed
TO be dropping, they were taken from
school and sent into the country to have
farm life and out-of-d door play to their
hearts content. In consequence of this
sarly instruction. all his descendants have
become thoroughly impressed with the
advantages Of daily walking, of summer
vacations in tho country and of camping
out, etc., among the mountains. DIR.
Bowditch's father had married his cousin,
who, after long invaTidism, died of chron-
ic phthisis in 1884. Certainly consan-
0uineous union of two consumptives
foreboded nothing but evil.
Yet, of their eight children, six are
either now alive or they arrived at adult
age, married, and have had children and
grandchildren, but not trace of phthisis
has appeared in any of these ninety three
persons.

luence of out-of- door life TO which this

School DAYS o. Long Ago.

No more interesting character of our
times now lives than Gen. +. +. Spinner
OF Treasury fame. Although nearly
ninety years old he preserves all his fac
ulties, and in college and School" he
tells in an entertaining manner of his
schooldays in Mohawk Valley. The
schoolboys and girls of the present day
will be able TO contrast their happy lot
with Gen. Spinners.
And now the MASTER he was, as a
rule, selected from the hands who worked
on the farm in the summer and taught
school in the winter; not for the quantity
or the quality of his brains, but for his
superior muscular development.
His equipment consisted of stout
pair of coarse cowhide boots wherewith TO
discipline the big boys, lot of rods, a
heavy ferule and n two bladed pocket
knife, the larger blade used for the cut
ting and trimming of rods and switches,
and the smaller one wheTewith to make
pens from quilts out of the wings of a
goose. A goosel fit emblem of all that
pertained to an old-time common school
in the Mohawk Valley.
Teaching in those early days was prin-
cipally by Induction, and il was induced
by rod and ferule. Old King Solomon,
the wisest of men, made the law that

OF eighty eight years, so we'll preserved.

life to practice The reverse of what was
taught me to do.
Farm hands in those days received SIS
a month and board. When employed in
the winter as teachers they sometimes
managed to get a little more. but they
were obliged TO board round with the
parents of their pupils.
The board usually consisted of john

Transformed.

Men and beasts are alike in this re-
spect, that their strongest propensities
are often unsupported until some change
Of circumstances call them suddenly into
exercise. A lion hunter named Conrad
had brought from Africa a small lion cub
which he had captureL when il was only
a few days old.
At first it was sickly, and seemed un-
likely to live long. but under careful
nursing it gradually outgrew its weakness
and became a great pet with it's owner,
whom it followed about like a kitten.
At night 1t always slept beside it's mas
ters bed.
One evening Conrad lay down upon the
lounge for nap, and after being asleep
for some time was awakene by sharp
pain in his left hand On attempting TO
draw the hand toward him he was star
tied by a vicious growl, and the next
moment he discovered that Belle, his
pet cub, had his hand between her teeth.
She had already bitten quite through
it, and was eagerly tapping the flood tn at
flowed from the wound. Her eyes were
blazing, and it dawned upon Conrad that
his pet was no longer a tame animal.
The situation was dangerous. Conrad
moved softly, so as not to disturb the
animal, and succeeded in reaching his
revolver, with which he shot her through
the brain. She lesped into the air with a
terrible scream, and fell dead upon the
floor.
1t appeared that while the man was
asleep the lioness had begun to lick his
hand. Her sharp, file-like tongue broke
the skin. the animal got her first taste of
blood, and all the latent passions of her
race were at once aroused. The pet be-
came in o ne instant a wild, bloodthirsty
