THE CAMPAIGN BEGUN.

Colonel O'Ferrall began the active
campaign of the Virginia Democracy
yesterday by addressing the people OF
Eastville, in Northampton county His
work will take him from the edge of the
ocean inward over plains and hills,
mountains and valleys, to the uttermost
borders of tho s ate. His words of
counsel and advice will be heard by
thousands who cannot fail to be pleased
with his eloquence as well as impressed
with the logic Of his arguments.
Hon. Robert G. Kent, the candidate
for lieutenant governor, was at Wythe.
vile; A. Taylor Scott, candidate for
attorney general, spoke at Campbell
Court House; FL. d. Flood, at Bucking-
ham Court House; Henry w. Flournay,
and Hon Claude A. Swanson, at Louisa
Court House, and Hon. j. W. Marshall,
at Woodstock.
The campaign may be said, therefore
70 have been very actively opened, and
from the fact that the Populists are
making such strenuous efforts in this
State to mako showing at election.
the campaign will be warmly waged
just to keep up the interest in COM
monwealth which is always politically
active.
The issue will be ono appealing to
the reason and common sense of the
voters and not to stir them up by pre-
senting contrasts of conditions which
existed and which may result II, accord

ing to the clog uence Of these socialistic.
minded orators, the people will revolt
against the old established party. II is
to be presumed that the citizens Of Vir-
ginia are too matter Of fact individuals
to be led astray by these vain delusions.
The questions Of the hour are con-
corning the future welfare Of this com.
monwealth and will be discussed upon
the Democratic side largely by citizens
OF this State who know whereof they are
speaking. 1t will not be very much to
their advantage to secure tslent from
outside while such good speakers are to
be found within the borders OF this com
munity.
There will be no need of getting a
"sockless" statesman from the wild
and woolly West to argue upon State
affairs while such able men as "Cyclone
Jim" Marshall are to be found so plenti-
full, and men, too, who are thoroughly
familiar with the States past progress
aud its demands for future advance
ment
The people should understand that
such men as spoke last night from the
Democratic platforms are our own citi-
zens, who have the interest OF our State
at heart, and who may be depended upon
to advocate only things which will pro-
mote the material prosperity of every
section and help the condition of every
class in our grand old commonwealth.
This rightly understood and the
masses will turn out and pile up big
majority for Colonel O'Ferrall and the
Dem ocratlc party nominees in the cleo
tion next November.

USE OF THE HANDS.
When Writing Nearly Every Muscle in the
 Body Helps Them.

At the late international congress of hygiene and demography, in section 4, which was concerned with the hygiene of infancy and school life, a resolution was passed in favor of the teaching of upright penmanship or vertical writing on the ground that spinal curvature and short sight are caused by the faulty position Of the youthful 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 making of our first pothooks and hangers involved. The number of muscles put in action when a person is writing is prodigious, and it is probable that in beginners every muscle Of the body must yield it's assent before the graphic symbols triclzle from the pen.
 The fingers, wrist, elbow and shoulder must all be held steady, says the Lon don Lancet. The spine must be rigid and fixed below as well as abO7e. The pelvis must be firm, and to this end the child often gets a support by it's feet from the legs of the chair. The thoraX is more or less rigid, and it's movements are determined more by the work of the hand than the respiratory needs. Lastly, the knit brows and pro- truding tongue are unconscious mUscu- lar acts which serve to mark tie eff fort, both of body and mind. which the child undergOes when learning to write. 1t is notorious that in writing our indi- viduality asserts itself in spite of the pcdagogue. We are taught certain rules for sitting at tho desk and holding the pen, which we ultimately learn to neglect, and finally write in a fashion of our own.
 The true remedy fer the evils pro- duced by learning to write secms to us to be to teach the child to use both hands and to practice alternately with either hand. Vertical writing lends it. self more readily to amb;dcxtcrity than does sloping writing, and there can be no doubt that q clerk who could write with equal facility with either -elnd, and could rest one side of the body while the other was working, would be little liable to writer's cramp and similar troubles. Seeing how enormous is the muscular effort involved in giving the hand sufficient steadincss, and that the brain flag is scarcely less than the mus cle flag, it goes without saying that writing lessons should at first be of very short duration. Ten minutes with each hand ought to amply suffice.
The St. Johns herald., 1893-02-02
Her Tribute.

Over in the Evergreen cemetery on a recent bright Sunday the doings of a woman at one of the graves attracted the attention of chance visitor. When the woman had finally gone away the visitor sought the spot to discover the cause of several patches of bright color that were visible there, says the New York Tribune. A leafless bush grew at the head of a little grave. Upon this, hanging from every spare stem, were paper roses, red, blue and green. On the grave a wreath of the same was laid, and in a cheap vase set in the earth near one end of the mound was a bunch of more paper blossoms, pink and purple, and of fashion akin to no known botanical specimen. The effect was grotesque and withal pathetic. The woman, probably a bereaved mother, looked to be a German, neat and thrifty in appearance. This riot of color and unstable decoration had doubtless been a loving effort with her, and, whatever the absurd result, the spirit which animated the offering was as delicate and beautiful as if it's out ward token were the choicest blooms of natures cOnSeryatOrieS
