The rumor of contemplated change in the primary department of the graded sdlpol in Dist. No. 1 reaches our ears frpna time to time. If we mistake not, it issome sixteen or seventeen years since Mss Lucy M. Perkins first began the faithful performance of her duties in the capacity of teacher of the village and vi- cinity primaries. During this protracted period, say from personal observation, hearsay and published reports, that Miss Perkins has more than fulfilled the ordi- nary requirements of teachers. She has not only made child-nature study, and taught the children to observe, to reason and to think as children, but has evel. guarded as 8 sacred trust the hearts, minds and intellects. of scores of little ones placed under her care. Her sanc- tio1xs and denials have ever been regu- lated y religious motives. Ido notmean by tnis that she has kept them swing ing on the gate'' between the Sunday school and weekday school, by blending formal and technical religious instruc- tioniwith the calculative activity of .tL e child mind, such as leads and prepares little people for happy and profitable journey into the garden of elementary knowledge. Not this, but that each pa rent has felt quite at ease concerning the moral training, of his child. Such foster care as this teacher has ever bestowed is ararity in schools, and proves that her motives were not for mere personal ap- probation and self-interest, but for a fine sense of honor and obligation and good will to others. It is to be hoped that this department will suffer no loss from the change which, report says, is about to be made; but if an elder watchman on the wall of Zion is doing his duty we'll and d'triumphantly, the new ism called kid ism can sometimes be safely secuted. {; South Coventry.

MosoUITos.-Th bill of mosquito is complex institution. It has Q blunt fork at the head, and is apparently groov- ed. Working through the groove, and projecting from the angle of the fork, is a lance of perfect form, sharpened with a fine bevel Beside it the most perfect lance looks a hand-saw. On either side of the lance two saws are arranged, with the points fine and sharp, and the teeth well defined and keen. The backs of these saws play against the lance. When the mosquito lights, with his peculiar hum, it thrusts it's keen lance, and then enlarges the aperature with the two saws,
 which play beside the lance until the forked bill, with it's capillary arrange ment for pumping blood, can be inserted.
 The saving process is what grates upon the nerves of the victim, and causes him to strike wildly at the sawyer.

Human Instinct.

So powerful is human instinct, that
some of its suggestions become embodied
in social and household customs. The
people know and feel that at the begin:
ming of the spring season the system
needs an Alternative and a purifying tonic
and stimulant. In all parts of the
country it is the custom for the house
wife to dose her brood with sassafras
tea. Among the simple remedies that
Our ancestors employed, this decoctiop
has continued to hold it's own. The
demand for spring Alternative and tonic
however, is filled more efficaciously by S.
S. S., which is itself as simple as natures
remedial medicine should be. 1t purihes
the blood, cleanses and strengthens the
system, and prepares the human machine
to stand the wear and tear OF the sum-
mer months.
