Old.Fashi0ned Remedies.

For the collie, pain or cold in the
bowels, two large thick dinner plates
will give quick relief If here is no
hot-water bottle at hand. Put a
plate into very h t water and let It
heat until you cannot bear your hand
on 1t, then wrap it in thin towel
and lay it over the seat Of pain, while
the other plate is heating, changing
a. often as a plate grows cool. This
Is much easier than wringing cloths
from hot water, and quite as effica-
cious a remedy.
FOR cold and sudden chills heat q
number Of large thick newspapers as
hot as possible, over the stove, in the
oven, wherever It is possible to get
them Try hot Without catching fire,
fold thick to hold the heat, then place
at the back, on the sides, or over the
extremeties of the patient, changing
as the heat is lost. They will relieve
pain, and are much better than wet
cloths to promote sweating.
An external application for sore
throat and cough has long been fav-
orite of the experienced nurse, who
claims to have saved many lives by
its use; and it is simple enough and
certainly worth trying; Take cup
of muttoon tallow and two large
spoonfuls Of spirits of turpentine;
put into the turpentine all the gum
camphor that 1t will dissolve, then
add to the cup of tallow, melted, mix
thoroughly, and keep where it Wi. be
convenient to apply to the throat or
chest on a cloth when needed, cover
ing warmly. This gives almost in
slant relief. 1t is good for any lung
trouble, Group or cold.
The rheumatic joints that are sure
to prove painful this cnangeable
spring weather.. and also for sprains,
try this healing plaster: Take equal
parts of resin and Bergundy pitch,
melt in a tin dipper and when liquid
put in piece Of camphor gum as
large as an English walnut and ABOUT
han that quantity of opium. oulr I'M
til all is thorou, lilly dissolved, as ii
will soon be, if kept hot; and when
none of the camphor Is visible, spread
on thin leather or thick drilling.
Apply while warm and it will quickly
relieve the pain. and IT faithfully
tried will soon prevent its return.
For aggravating neuralgia, squeeze
the juice of a lemon into a small cup
Of strong coffee and drink: battle the
afflicted part with hot mustard water,
and try continued friction with the
hand. Then apply flannel wrung
out Of hot water and thickly sprinkl-
ed with black pepper. Then after
the pain is relieved we will be ready
to MAKE our resolves to build up the |
system with systematic bathing and
exercise and avoid it in the future

The Convict Question.

What is the best disposition to
be made of our convicts is a ques
ton the next legislature is quite
likely to have to consider. 1t Is
universally admitted that it is
essential that prisoners be employ
ed at some kind of useful labor, but
the difficulty has always been that
the products of prison labor comes
into the market in competition with
free labor to the manifest detriment
of the latter.
There is one kind of labor, how
ever, that no one likes to do and,
which, in fact. is seldom at all in a
way that is of benefit to those
Interested.
We have thousands of miles of
bad roads that are source Of
continual annoyance and expense
These roads will remain bad be-
cause the people do not like to do
road work and what Is done is un.
skilful and inefficient. Nor do the
people want to pay the amount of
tax necessary to construct good
roads.
Ii the convicts were set to work

What Is Education, and What Is 1t
Worth?


Education is that which prepares man
to live ompletely-white.
But in the common acceptation Of the
term it means only the cultivation Of
true sense education implies the full and
symmetrical development of all mans
powers, mental, moral and physical 1t
realizes all the potentialities of the indi-
Svidual, and prepares him for the right
discharge of all the purposes of his exist
ence. This is true education. The com
mon idea of the worth of an education i
that it enables one to live more easily; to
drive shop trades, to plan skillfully, and
thus earn support without so much
sweat of the brow. While education has
this advantage, it is not the true purpose
of an education; it is the meanest aud
lowest of all the rich rewards that flow
from an education. True education gives
to man that efficiency that makes him q
leader in all that tends to elevate his fell
bowman. The life is enlarged and ex-
alted the beauties and the grandeur of
nature are better appreciated; the mental
horizon is enlarged; the aspirations are
heightened; the man is raised in every re-
lation to his creation.
If We as teachers do not seek to in
spire our students with right motives, re-
strain their passions, temper, and deci-
pline their feelings, we are missing the
true end of teaching. How many Of us
have well pictured in our minds the
character that it is the prerogative of the
school to make the ideal mainland are
striving to mould and shape those en-
trusted to our care Ga very sacred trust
indeed) into this standard?
Most of our teachers, l think, are moved
by good impules, desire to do what is
right for their studentr, and are really
doing good work. But it is not enough
to desire the best for those under tute-
lage, but we must know what is the best,
and do it. | fear that some teachers dc
not appreciate their responsibility, be-
cause they have no true conception of the
| purpose of the school. To such | would
suggest the reading of good professional
literature, such as Pages Theory and
Practice of Teaching, Raub's School Man
| agement, or Hugh's Mistakes in Teaching
No teacher should presume to teach with
out reading works of this kind. XIX.
