The boxes, or stalls, are open at the top, so as to permit the free cir culation of air. and their doors are ab- breviated below and above, so the in- mate can see the teacher on the plat form opposite.

WISE AS AN OWL.

The owl is said to be the wisest of birds because he keeps both eyes and ears wide open, says nothing and keeps up a good deal of thinking. When sciatica takes hold of man, he is wisest who says nothing but keeps. his eyes and ears open for the best remedy. who thinks and knows it may re- suit III crlppllng, and who finds by trial that St. Jacobs Oil is the best knoWn remedy for its treatment and permanent cure. It penetrates 10 the seat of the ex- cruciating pain, soothes and cures it. and prevents what sometimes happens = the use of the surgeons nife to get rid of the torment. The owl thinks and then acts quickly, and the sciatica sufferer should act promptly to arrest the progress of the dls- ease and to restore the nerve by the use of St. Jacobs Oil to it's natural condition.

New system or 1solation'
 An effort along new lines Is to be made by the French Government in the direction of remodeling vicious tenden- cies in boys. The scene of the expert ment is the Institute Le Peletier at AIontesson, in the department of the Seine. Youngsters who have already become criminals will not be treated, the design being to restrain and tone down criminal incHnations in boys whose parents have found them 10 De unmanageable. Two hundred ceiis at the institute have been set apart TOT the purpose. Youngsters received for treatment are examined as to their tal- ents for acquiring knowledge or learn ing some sort of trade and are instruct ed in those branches for which they show a leaning. To curb the young sters' inclination to cruelty they are al- lowed to have pets and each one IS given a patch of garden to cultivate. They may keep birds, cats and raoplts.

With better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper et- forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort Tn the knowledge that so many forms ot sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrupo Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without facilitating the organs on which it acts. Itis therefore ali important, in order to get it's bene- ficial effects. to note when you pur- chase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If iE the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most sl1illful physicians, but if in need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with Ihe well-informed everywhere, Syrup of l Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
