A School Girls Nerves.
From the "New Era" Groen.ouro, Ind.

Mothers who have young daughters Of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first i'm.
portance. After the confinement of the
school room plenty of out-ofdoor exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their h, b. c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is selfevident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, if rightly applied
may save your daughter:
The, young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes
The fifteen -ycar.old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur.
ney, Ind She is n bright young lady, is
fond of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to q
newspapcr man one day recently. "My
said Mr. llarncs, "bUt now we are all happy
to know that she is getting along all right
and is stronger than ever" Asked to relate
the story Of his daugh,ar, Mr.. Barnes con-
tinued: "About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old she began to grow
weak an6 nervous. 1t was, of course, deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such n tension that
the least little noise would irritate her very
nucl, md SHE was very miserable. There
was continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop st. Vitus' dance.
"She kept getting worse and finally we
had to take her from her school and her
studies She was strong and healthy before,
weighing eighty.hve pounds, and in three

Deferred.

We have put on paper several times
writeups concerning some of the
passing events Of our city and each
time we were compelled TO stick
them back on the deferred hook be-
cause of crowding advertising, which
we receive with thanksgiving. We
did not intend that such should not
receive our attention, as the pencil
did it's duty, but the type and limited
space could not consumate the
courtesy. Among those deferred
was our effort to place credit to the
very efficient work of Mrs. Lillian
Cole Bethel, of Columbus, in her
parliamentary drill in our city. This
learned lady found a place Of ap-
probation in the hearts of our people
while here, and proved to the most
skeptic, the necessity of the wild I
knowledge of parliamentary law
among the people. She is master of
her subject and her closing conven-
tion was a grand success. The peo-
pie of Logan are for Mrs. Bethel, and
she established personal friendship
and prestige among us that she may
we'll be proud of in after years.
Another one of the deferred efforts
which we endcavored to fully and
gru uffically discribe and compliment,
was the home talent play, "Confed-
crate Spy" as put on our stage a
short time ago by corps of our
young talent. The play gave
evidence of much work, and develop
ed in our town some excellent new
talent that lay domant heretofore.
We will notat this late date endeavor
to detail the play and players in their
special efficiency as we did in the
"deferred" now of the waste basket
but happily extend to the excellent
talent manifested our editorial hand
OF congratulations and hope they
will favor us again in the near future
with SO good an entertainment.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Dec. 0.-With
n cranium largely of silver, minus
five ribs on his left side, his heart
shifted to the right of his anatomy,
and with dozens of minor physical
peculiarities, arrested by many
scars, George Burns is at present at
the Bethel Associated Charities on
his way to his lone in Cincinnati.
! He arrived in Cleveland To day.
| a remarkable feature Of the man
Is that he has carried silver plate
, as brain covering for over 10
years. In 1887 Burns was employ
ed as an engineer on the steamship
Savannah which piled between
Boston and Florida, and was injur-
ed in the machinery. Both his
legs were fractured, his right arm
broken, five ribs were crurhed, one
OF them penetrating the left lang
B1rii'o skull was also crushed
~ silver plate was fitted into The
Injured mans skull. Oae half of
Burns crushed ribs were afteryard
''nt ont. In the operation his heart
was shifted to the light sile of his
body where it has rem lined ever
since.
In addition 10 all 9th r physical
peruliaritirs of Burns both elboa
joints are gone, one knee-cop /, on
the back of his leg aud porii,n az

MISSISSIPPI RIVER WORK.
Washington, July 2S.-Before leaving
Washington today Secretary Alger ap-
proved the revised allotments made by
the Mississippi river commission for the
improvement of the Mississippi river.
The commission at its meeting. June "a
last, made allotments under which only
500, 900 was allowed for dredging oper-
aIions. When these came TO the war de-
partment for approval, the secretary,
upon the accommodation OF the chief of
engineers, refused TO sanction them on
the ground that the allotments for
dredging were too small He insisted
that not less than 500. 900 should be al
lowed for the work. The point raised
was new one, as 70 the revisory pow
ers OF the war department. but the COM
mission accepted the situation and an
other meeting was held in New York
on the 22d Of this month. at which the
departments recommendations were
adopted. The commission. however, IN
sisted that its first allotments were
right.
