Now that another school year has
begun, parents should realize that
their occasional presence in the
school room is desirable. 1t is an
additional incentive to the pupil to

general complaint among teachers,
that parents visit the school too sell

How to Take a Turkish Bath.

II is not unusual to hear complaints
that the Turkish bath has induced con-
siderable depression, or even exhaustion,
lasting perhaps several days, but the
cause Of this is that proper precautions
have not been taken by the bather. The
baths must be adapted 10 the strength Of
the patient. The bather should not stay
too long in tine hot chamber, and the
bracing process should be applied only a
few seconds with water not very cold.
Twenty minutes is long enough for most
persons TO remain in the hot chamber,
and a safe rule is TO leave at the first
symptoms Of faintness or fatigue.-Ex-

was not electrical, nor was it a scientific
instrument in any sense of the term. \
little mere than 80 years ago the em-
ployees Of large mandatory beguiled
their leisure hours by kitehying. Kites
large and small went mp daily, and the
strife was to SEQ who could get tho lar
gest. The Irvine which held them was
the thread spun and twisted by the ladies
of the village. One day 70 the tail Of the
largest kite was attached a kitten sewed
in canvas bag. with netting over the
mouth to give il air When the kite was
at its greatest height-200 feet or more
the mewing could be distinctly heard
by those holding the string. To the clear
ness of the atmosphere was attributed
the hearing of the kittens VOICE. This is
the first account we remember of speak
ing along a line.-Shefiield Telegraph.
