Notice to Horse Breeders.

On account of poor health, and not
being able to go with my stallion Pacha
Dick this season, 1 have made up my
mind to make it an object to parties
wishing to breed mares (by reducing
his fee) to call and examine for them
selves the strictly pure bred imported
Percheron Stallion Pacha Dick, Nos.
40, 1907 and 1880, which is a draft
horse in every sense of the word.
His weight at the present time being
about 1000 pounds; a coal black; IL
hands 1 inch high; very heavy bone
any very compact; solid, smooth built
horse; with a star on forehead, and a
long heavy main and tail. He will
make the season of 1898 at his home,
and stand fo re service at $500 for the
season, payable at the time of service,
before the mare leaves the place, { a
rule that must be complied with.) Pas
turage and care given mares atreason-
able terms if desired; escapes and &C
cidents at owners risk. For descriptive
circular and pedigree and all other
information send to, or inquire of

THE STUDY OF HISTORY.
Suggestions and Plans for That Study by
william Griffith.

suggestions and Plans for That Study by
william Griffith.
This article is designed to give few
pointers in regard to methods of class
room work in history. The plan here
outlined has been tried in many schools
and found to work we'll. The teacher
should frequently study topic with
his pupils. Let the text be read
thoughtfully, the teacher directing the
class to note the leading points. He
should show why certain things are of
greater Importance than other things,
and why it is the grasping of these
main points rather than the reciting Of
1.-THE text that is the essence of right
study. In short, the teacher should:
~ Assign topic. ~ Let class read
it at recitation time. (3) Note difficult
words (4 Let important places men
toned in the text be located on map
drawn by the pupils. (5) Pay great
attention to biography. (6) Show pu-
pills how to form topical analyses. ~
In looking up any topic make use of
different texts as you can get. This is
in the plan of the Laboratory method"
81 Lead pupils to compare the &C.
counts given by different authors Of the
same topic.
In the matter of Tests and Reviews
proceed as follows: o. Have topical
outline written on board. ~ Recite
by method of topics, using also serial
questions. (3) On board make sketch
maps. az Assign suggestive questions
to be looked up and discussed at class
time. (5) Write historical and bio
graphical sketches. (6) Read and
have read poems. (0 Have as much
collateral reading as possible.
Suggestive questions are of great
value in stimulating historical research.
Every school should have a small
working library. We may have such
in Wisconsin. Assign each pupil a
separate question to report on at a
subsequent time. Here are some spec
linen suggestive questions taken from
Fishes q. S. History and following the
chapter on the American Indians. O
Imagine an Indian passing from saw
age to a civilized state. When does he
cease to be savage? To be barbarous?
(2) Tell about any Indians that may be
living in your State, or about any that
you have seen. (3) Are the Indians
that Cooper tells about true and real
ones, or rather better? az Who
owned this country before white men
took possession of it? Was it right for
them to take it by force? Ought they
! TO have bought it?

death comes crashing about him.
When a man begins to feel "out of
sorts" when his appetite is failing and his
energy is not up to the mark when he has
bilious attacks and a feeling of 1assitude
and incapacity, if he is wise, he will take
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
right away. It will bring his appetite back
again, and what is more it will bring back
his digestive powers. 1t will give all the
assimilative functions the edge and power
to extract abundant nourishment from the
food he eats; It will make good, pure,
healthy blood and send it coursing rapidly
through his veins and arteries into every
organ and tissue of the body. 1t will put
flesh on his bones and force in his muscles
it will give him strength and courage and
cheerfulness, in word it will give him
complete health.
1t excretes from the system every par
ticle of dead useless, fabby tissue It
even reduces the weight of the corpulent
man at the same time that it builds up his
strength and working power. The weight
it adds to people who need it is the kind
that comes of pure blood and every organ
doing its work properly and thoroughly

A radical difference Of opinion
between Billy Slavy and one of his
COWS resulted in the gentleman getting
quite severely injured.
The feroicous and inhuman doctrines
of hell, fire and eternal damnation were
hauled out of the dust and rubbish
which had accumulated over them
since the days OF Richard Baxter, and
given an airing from the pulpit of one
of the churches in Bristol last Sunday.
Such sermons are almost an insult to
people of average intelligence, while
their effect on an ignorant mind is to
arouse spirit of opposition and def
ance. akin to that produced in the
mind of a negro lad whose case is as
follows: A certain maiden lady down
East" as they say, wishing to DO some
thing for humanity, adopted a negro
boy. She was careful to inst'll into his
mind the choicest moral precepts.
Jack, however, had acquired some
education before the lady took charge
of him, and one day, to her horror, she
overheard him swearing terribly. She
took him to task at once. Jack, "
said she. do you know where you
will 60 to when you die if you don't
stop swearing?" " No Missus, don't"
You will go to hell" said the lady.
" He'll" said Jack, what kind of a
place am dat?"
1t is a great lake of fire said the lady
where you will be put and burned for
ever and ever. Why, dat can't be,
said Jack. I'd burn up in mint. No
you wouldn't You will be kept alive
and roasting forever. Lam sakes,
missus, | nebber could stan that no
how. But you would have to stand it.,
said the lady. You could not get out.
Jack hung his head for minute, then
looking up in his mistress face, said:
