three people who still cling fondly TO the
theory of murder. The officials express

the case for their skill and perseverance in

probable that but for the efforts of the

that long hair was found near the body.

three Inches long.
The case stands thus. A skeleton was
found. Near 1t We're found clothes and
papers belonging to Mark a. G Gift,
OF Norfolk. 1t was established that this
man mas been missing since August last.

In line with this manual training tie
whole educational scheme has undergone
a complete ard radical change during the
last few years.
Supt. Powell said to a Times reporter
yesterday of the new system:
THE study Of the child life III the last
few years has changed our ideas COM

methods are rapidly being adopted We
have learned that The child learns largely
through physical activity. + this physical
activity is taken care of it results in man

clay, aud according To its capacity is as
fihe an artist as sculptor. Then it learns
naturally 10 talk intelIisently of its Work,
and, at the same time. to write of it.
THIS is the system.
Its results are remark able. Ten years
agp We believed pupil was doing well To
read through one book in a year. Now, in
addition to the actual practical value OF
tie hend and eye training the child reads
three books during the year.
During last year Z per cent Of the first
grade pupils read through three books
Half OF the others read two. Those who
only took up one book were nearly all
absent for part OF the year.
Tie greatest good of all that has come
Of the manual training, Superintendent
roweH says, is that through it the young
people now growing up are learning the
dignity OF manual labor. They see its
possibilities and its requirements, and they
begin TO feel that it takes fine man to
make a fine mechanic, quite as much as
TO make a poor lawyer or a goodo one either.

This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms of Indigestion,
and in many cases where ordinary remedies
failed to give even relief, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets have fully cured.
The splerdid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fact that it
is prepared anG intended for Dyspepsia
an6 stomach troubles ONLY. It is not a
claiming TO care everything under the sun,
but 1T is claimed that it is a certain cure
