CHAPTER XIV.

DO NO GOOD IN THE HOUSE OF GLEYs.
Very early next morning | awoke, and,
hearing no sound in the loft above whittier,
since my coming, joan had carried her bed,
concluded her to be still asleep But in this
| was mistaken, for, going TO the well at the
back to wash, | found her there studying
her face in the mirror.

cleansed and freshly glowing. "NOw fill

But your clothesln cried out they'll be

Therefore, standing at three PAGES dis

another and another. Six times filed and
empted the bucket in all; and at the end she
was satisfied, and went, dripping, back to the
kitchen to get me my breakfast.

Enthusiastically in favor of coeducation and
athletic exercises. Coeducation makes
women more womanly and men molr
manly, he says And sunshine, fresh
air and vigorous physical exercises are
more important for girls than for boys
even, because coed" girl students in
their zeal for study are apt to neglect
their bodies. In his Judgment no girl
should be permitted To take college
course unless she also took proper Sys-

The above illustration shows one OF
the best methods in use to prevent q too
great expenditure at muscular force,
which the stammerer is apt to put forth
in speaking. The pupil places two
fingers between his teeth and articu-
lates in that position. If the force is
too great, his teeth impress that fact
very forcibly upon his fingers
In the last illustration the artist
shows how another exhibition of too
great nervous force may be avoided.

muscles. 1t night be we'll for him to

difficult to rid himself of in his Efforts

The professors advice is as follows:
The correct application of these ex-
ercises will relieve the physical part of
the defect and will give the pupil conf
denoe, quality which he has hereto
fore never possessed, and he must use
every means in his power outside of
these exercises to increase his stock of
confidence and self-reliance.
To this end he must take the best pos
sible care of his health by keeping
good hours, eating nourishing food and
only at regular intervals. observing
habits of cleanliness, abstainin1 from
the use of tobacco, especially cigar
cites, and Of all intoxicating drinks or
any thing that is likely to excite or de-
plete the nervous system.

In cities the simplest and easiest
plan to get rid of them is to force a

According to a newspaper bulletin
just issued by C. NJ. Weed, Entomolo-
gist Of the Ohio Experiment Station,
the maple bark-louse has become de-
structively numerous over a large por-
ton of Ohio. and is creating much
alarm by its presence. It is especially
at work upon the shade trees of cities
and villages, and unless checked will do
serious injury. The presence of the
pests is shown by the occurrence upon
the twigs of maple trees, especially on
the under side, of a brown. circular,
leathery scale about one-quarter of an
inch in diameter. beneath which is a
fluffy, cottony mass. that at this time is

Suggestions That VIII Take the
Place Of q School



According to the census OF 1880, out of
the entire population of the United
States there were 100000 men, women
and children who stamsnered in their
speech
Years ago this defect in the action Of
the vocal organs was thought to be ir-
remediable. OF late years those rhysi-
clans who devote their talents to the
sure Of diseases of the mind and the
nervous system have discovered that it
can be cured and that it is simply a
nervous habit that can be overcome by
training.
The New York Herald gives its
readers all of the details of one Of
the best known of these systems Of
training. SO that any one who is
afflicted with this distressing habit may
be able, by following the exercises
shown in the illustrations and the ad-

come his vocal defect without the ueces-
sity OF putting himself under the care
of a professional trainer.
