The New Penmanship.

Vhe slanting hand writing is going
our. The straight up and down kind is
coming ill., If you want to see the ad-
vantages of the vertical penmanship,
write a sentence tho old fashioned way,
with the popular writing book slant to
the left. Then sit square in front of a
desk or table; put the paper straight be-
fore You exactly perpendicular to the
edge OF the table. Sit erect and look at
the paper just as you would at asprint-
ed book you were reading. Then put
both arms lightly upon the table square
and straight Take your pen and write
the same sentence Mako the letters this
time up and down. leaning not a hair $
breadth to tho right or left Then notice
how much easier 1t is to read the straight
up and down sentence than the slanting
one written in the old fashioned way.
In the vertical sentence the letters are
full, round and distinct. In the slant
ing system they blur somewhat and
tire the eyes a little. It will occur to
you then perhaps to reflect that if the
Creator had intended MS to do slanting
writing he would have set our eyes
slanting in our heads.
Vertical penmanship was evolved in
Germany 1t was found there that 80
per cent Of the cases Of defective vision
and curved spine came on between the
ages of and IA. A committee of ex-
perts Investigated the cause and decided
it was the system Of penmansliip In use
In tho schools. With the slanting system
of writing one eye and one side are neo-
essarily nearer to the table than the
other. This causes in time one shoulder
to be higher than the other and one eye
to be farther sighted than tho other.
Sitting exactly in front of tho table,
with both eyes the same distance from
the paper, will at least help to prevent
q human being from becoming lopsided.
The vertical system has been adopted
in London. Specimens of the children's s
writing from the schools there attracted
much attention at our Worlds fair.
The new style has also been adopted in
this country to such an extent that the
schoolbook publishing houses have is
sued a set of vertical penmanship copy
books. 1t is in use in Chicago. and tho
superintendent Of instruction in Phila-
delphia has recommended it for the pub
lie schools. there.

HOW ro DESTROY INSECTS.
Coal OIL MS AN Agent and How to Use It ca
the Best Advantage.

Coal OIL rs AN Agent and How to Use 1t e.
the Best Advantage.
Oil is ono OF the best agents to be en-
ployed in the destruction of insects. In
sects mostly breathe through pores, and
the oil closing these pores suffocates the
insects, but if used in its full strength
oil will at the same time close the breath
ing pores of the plant and be just as de-
structive to one as the other. About half
q wineglass of oil, with gallon of rain
water, is the quantity recommended for
the destruction of such insects as red
spider, thrips and aphis. To mix the
water and oil it has to be boiled with
soap in the proportion of about onepart
of soap and eight Of water.
When the mixture Of soap and water
Is near the boiling point, 1t is poured into
bottles and the oil added at that time.
The nearer the liquid is to the boiling
point at the time the oil is applied the
better it will mix. Corked in bottles, it
can be kept for use. 1t is said that many
of the insecticides advertised for amateur
flower growers are made in this way,
preparations being occasionally varied,
and where it can be bought cheaply it is
often better to get it in that way than to
go to the trouble of making it ones self.
Sometimes the material obtained in this
way may be diluted further by WATER
but it is impossible to give exact direc-
lions in these cases. Those who try them
must watch results and learn little
