Hand and Seal.o

In old England the Barons,as you re-
remember, thought it beneath them to
do even such mental work as required
in education, and so had servants to
do both their reading and writing.
When servant had written a deed,
the baron, in place of signing his
name, dipped his hand in plate Of
smut, and stamped its picture on the
document-the lines of every mans
hand being as different from every
others. as his handwriting would
have been-and then, turning his
hand, he stamped his seal ring into
the hot wax. So originated the term
"Witness my hand and SEAL"

Prevention of Injury from Swallowed

pieces of dry bread. This is very apt
to surround the object swallowed with
a sort of coating. In addition let the
food for several days be more solid
than usual, and under no circum-
stances give purgative medicine. The
chances are that the child will feel no
trouble from the carelessness.
"This plan was followed success
