Vertical Writing,

At the international congress of hygiene
and demography a resolution was passed
in favor of the teaching of upright pen
manship or vertical writing, on the ground
that spinal curvature and short sight are
caused by the faulty position of the youth
full student, which is necessitated by slope
of the letters. We can all of us remember
the trouble of learning to write, and the
mental and physical toll which the max
ing of our first pothooks and hangers in
volved The number of muscles put in &C
ton when a person is writing prodigious.
and it is probable that in beginners every
muscle of the body must yield its assent
before the graphic symbols trickle from,
the pen. The fingers wrist, elbow and
shoulder must all be held steady.
The spine must be rigid and fixed below
as well as above. The pelvis must be firm
and to this end the child often gets sup
port by it's feet from the legs of the chair
The thorax is more or less rigid, and its
movements are determined more by the
work Of the hand than the respiratory
needs. Lastly, the knit brows and pro
truding tongue are unconscious muscular
acts which serve to mark the effort, botf
OF body and mind. which the child under
goes when learning to write. 1t is notori
Gus that in writing our individuality as
serts itself in spite Of the pedagogue. We
are taught certain rules for sitting at the
desk and holding the pen, which we ulti
nlately learn to neglect, and finally write
in a fashion of our own.-London Lancet

4 Reason for Everything.

The author Of ACROSS England in Dog
Cart" once stopped to examine a church in
the little village of Enstone.
The day was warm, and on leaving the
church | rested for awhile in the grateful
shade of the building, and for the sake OF
the GOODNESS still kept my hat in my hand
While standing there l overheard one
workman ask of another:
why do e keep lis at off like that out
Of doors mate?'
"'Cause he's Quaker, O. course" re-
piled the mate. "Quakers allus do in
churchyards."
Here was an opportunity not to be lost.
NO" said |, Il am not a Quaker Pm AL
Episcopalian"
There was short awkward pause Then
the first workman evidently of an inquir
ing turn of mind, said to his fellow mason
who seemed to be considered an authority
"a E-piscopale one, e says e is. Wot's
that, Biil?"
"Oh," replied the learned Bill, quite
equal to the occasion, ''that's one of then
fancy foreign religions, surel"

The explorer Coudreau found awhile ago
while wandering among the Tumuc-Hu
mac mountains, in the western part OF
Guiana, that it was not necessary for his
men to descend to creek when they
wanted drink Of water. A vine known
as the water vine is found all through that
region. It yields an abundant supply Of
excellent drinking fluid whenever it is
called upon. This vine grows to a height
OF sixty to ninety feet. 1t is usually about
as thick as the upper part Of the human
arm. 1t winds itself loosely around trees
chambers up to their SUBMITS and then
falls down perpendicularly to the ground
where it takes root again.
The natives cut this vine off at the
ground and then, at height of about six
Or seven feet, they cut it again, which
leaves in their hands a very stout piece of
wood a little longer than themselves. In
order to obtain its sap they raise the lower
end of the vine upon syme support and ap
ply the upper end to their mouths. The
section of the vine, while showing a
smooth, apparently compact surface, is
pierced with many little veins, through
which the sap flows freely. Six feet of the
vine gives about pint of water, which is
slightly sweet to the taste. Coudreau says
that it quenches thirst as effectively as
water from the most refreshing brook
New York Sun.

When Woman's Work Was Valuable,


In early Bible days richly embroidered
ralment was enumerated with the gold,
silver and other valuable property of rich
man. In that primitive age Dame Fashion
was not the tickle goddess she is at present,
and the 'raiment" so frequently mentioned
in the Holy Scriptures descended from ia
Their to son as a valuable part Of the inner
itance. Raiment was often sent, with gold
and gems as present to dignitaries.
It took, not months, but years to orna-
ment some of these garments, and the gold
thread so lavishly used in embroidering
them was real gold. Moses describes the
process of making the gold thread that
was used in ornamenting the tabernacle.
The habit of making presents Of rare needle
work is still common among eastern ma
lions who changed their customs so slowly,

And for old wrongs atone,

This is a short story that Cambridge
people may not find exactly humorous.
1t is told, however, concerning a bright
youngster who lived among them for his
nine short summers, and by reason of
the cultured atmosphere he breathed
and the experimental systems he was
brought up on ought either to have
been lead or one of their own. But he
defied both these fates and in due course
received his reward by moving into Bos-
ton. Here he at once found congenial
companions and no doubt began to
contract those unfortunate habits Of
speech that indirectly led to this tale.
One day his papa heard him using Ian
guage that no nice little boy, especially
a university town boy, is supposed to
know the meaning of.
Teddy" said his stern parent, never
say that again; it's swearing, and God
will hear you and be very much dis
pleased"
"Well, I'll go down cellar" said the
youngster defiantly, ''then l guess he
can't her me-"
"Yes, he can," insisted the devout
man.

"Then," announced the youngster,
