Work of school chiIdren.

AS the school season advances, the
subject of mental overpressure becomes
important enough not only for parental
consideration, but for scientific investi-
cation. The capacity of the child, the
number and nature of the studies, and
especially the length of the recitations,
are features which ought not to be over
looked or be left TO the direction of edu-
Gators. That much can be gained by
experimental study of overpressure, is
shown by paper read by DIR. Burgen-
stein, of Vienna, before the congress of
hygiene in London, upon 'The Working
Curve of an Hour" The writer had for
his object the study of the mental power
of children, and he arranged his expert
ments with view to demonstrating the
fluctuations of brain power in children
during one hours occupation with a ia
miliar subject.
Simple addition and multiplication
sums were given to two classes of girls,
of an average age of eleven years and
eleven years and ten months, and two
CLASSES of boys of the average age of
twelve years and two months and thir-
teen years and one month. After ten
minutes work the sums were taken away
from the children. After pause of ten
minutes the work was resumed, the al
formation continuing for an hour, 80
that there were three periods of work.
The results were interesting. During
the whole experiment the 162 children
worked out 1856, ,01O figures, making 6,504
mistakes. It was found that the num-
ber of mistakes increased in the differ
ent periods, and that during the third
period the quality of work was at the
lowest.-Boston Journal.

Water at Fifty Cents Drink in Maine.

Water at Fifty Cents a Drink i'm Maine.
A Lewiston gentleman driving in the
country found the watering places by
the roadside dry as herring bones. See
ing a farmer in yard by the roadside
he drove up to the door and asked for
water for his horse. The man looked at
him interrogatively and said:
Water? l should say not. / shouldn't
agree to give your horse what water he
might want under half dollar. It's
worth that
The Lewiston gentleman paid it and
the horse was watered, and the farmer
said in explanation that all the water
they had was brought a long distance
laboriously, by hand, and that it cost
nearly that amount in time and hard
work to get it. Water at fifty cents a
bucket in Maine is a novelty.-Lewiston
Journal.

A Sail ON His Lawn Mower.

One of our neighbors had sail on his
lawn mower one day last week. At any
rate it looked like sail, for he had sew
erai square feet of canvas attached to
the back side of the machine, and people
thought he was trying to have regatta
all to himself. However, closer investi-
cation showed that his sail was simply a
large bag into which the cut grass was
thrown instead of falling on to the
ground. He was quite happy over his
contrivance, because he didn't have to
rake his lawn after he had cut the grass.
