take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg

DRY work. The memory p nm Important
faculty, and OF course 1t should receive
all due traipang. but 1t is so much easier
for a teacher to listen to a mere rote
recit~tion than 1t Is to awaken thought
rnat even the college professor often
pronounces a verbatim recitation good
without making any effort to learn
whether thought Las been aroused In
the mind of the learner.
A student has just remarked, "When
] went to the high school and recited
Civics to Miss B., no questions were
Y e asked and no explanations made.
All we had to do was to commit the
words OF the book to memory and re-
cite them when class was called. If
u recitation agreed with the book, no
questions We're asked by the teacher,
and the boys asked none because they
were glad to get a high mark and rest
content with that" That was poor
teaching, and yet there Is many a high
school In which 1t is no better, and the
same might be said of both primary
schools and colleges.
The teacher ought to arouse thought.

ought to tell him that teaching is not

A Word to


Do teachers who constantly practice
the habit Of keeping pupils in at re-
cess and OBTAINING them after school
realize the wrong done the pupils?
A certain amount Of bodily exercise Is
needful to insure good physical health,
without which there a never be good
mental growth.
A certain amount of hearty, enjoy
able play should be INDUCED in by
both boys and girls at least once In
the morning and once In the after
noon. To insist upon the pupil remain
ing in his seat for a few moments &C.
~casionally, to perfect a lesson or a
punishment for m~isbehavior, is par
donahie, If he is allowed at least a
part Of the recess. But to deprive a
pupil of recess entirely for several
days In succession, and eve for weeks,
as l have Anown, is cruel and usually
non-effective. Detention after school
is rarely to be resorted to unless to
help pupils with their work.
An equally non-effectiye mode OF
punishment Is the practice Of standing
children OF the floor to study. Ten
chances to one Johnnie doesn't want
any better opportunity to make fun
for the children than when he Is up
on the floor where the whole school
can watch his antics. The best pre-
ventive for bad behavior is al inter-
esting school disciplined by a firm, Sc
e teacher.-School Education.

Order

Order.
Good order cannot be secured with
out active attention. and active at
tention cannot be got without giving
pupils employment of the right kind,
and this, in turn, necessarily involves
continuous study on the part Of the
teacher. If 4 teacher finds difficulty
in keeping order, let him devote more
time to the preparation of the lessons
he Is to teach the next day. and par
ticularly to those lessons he intends
t. assign. Many teachers spend plen-
ty Of time on the lessons they are
about to teach or examine on; but
give little or no attention to the selec-
ton Of lessons previous to the time
when they are about to assign them.
Lessons are often assigned in a hap.
hazard manner.
Special attention should also be given
to the selection Of definite work for
pupils while not engaged in actual reci-
tations. Those who fail in the man
agement of an ungraded school may
be able to trace the cause to a neglect
of this essential part of their duty.
It would be folly to expect children to
control themselves properly in school
for hours with nothing to do. If teach
ers do not furnish suitable employ.
ment, the pupils will find exercise In
the shape Of fun and mischief.

Gloucester. Mass, Oct 1.-THE fu-
neral of the late George ]. Marsh
treasurer of the Cape Ann Savings
bank. who committed suicide last week
by shooting. was attended by a large
number of business men and citizens
Interest in the affairs of the estates
and trusts in George Marsh's keepins
is as great as ever. and the outlook
now is not favorable to the beneficial
ries of those estates. One of the Cape
Ann bank officials admitted that there
was a strong possibility of hypotheca-
tion amounting to S250.000.
The work ofstraightening out matters
pertaining to those estates is progress
ing very slowly, and it will be some
time before a statement can be ready.
1t is believed that everything negotia-
BILE in Marsh's keeping has been dis
posed of, real estate being about all
that remains. The DIR. Hildreth estate,
between $40. 900 and 1000. is practical
wiped out. The George H. Rogers es-
tate was valued at 500. 900. and the
