Agriculture in the Schools.

The Kansas State Teachers Associa-
ton will use its influence to have the
Legislature next year enact law pro-
viding for text book on agricultr.e for
use In the common schools. IftLe law
is passed the association will ask that
the book be written by Secretary +. D.
Coburn, of the State Board of Agricul-
ture.
The special committee appointed at
the last session of the State Teachers
Association to revise the course of study
for the common schools of Kansas has
resolved that text book on agriculture
should be adopted in the Kansas
schools, and decided to take steps to
arouse sentiment on the subject. AS a
preliminary step it was decided to
adopt agriculture as a portion of the
course of study for the next school
year.
State Superintendent Nelson says:
kansas is an agricultural state. The
young menof the state should, there
fore, be taught agriculture. How to
keep boys on the farm is now the great
question. By dignifyiag farm life an d
educating the boys to make a success
in agriculture the question will be
solved. 1t is just as essential to teach
a young man who expects to follow
that pursuit how to farm as it is to
send young man who wants TO be a
lawyer to law school. kansas

A Remarkable Scholar.

Perhaps the record for school attend
ance belongs to Walworth lad named
Thomas Ward, who, says the West
minister Gazette, was never absent or
late during his eleven years of school
life, beginning his fourth year. The
local member of the School Board for
London tells the story that when the
proui boy received the attendance
medal for the eleventh year-which
had TO be specially struck to meet his
case-the mother was questioned as to
how her boy had been able to make so
remarkable record.
HAS he had the usual ehildren's
eOmplaints?" she was asked.
ayes, sir.n
"The measles?n
ayes, SIR"
"Whooping-cough? ?"
eyes, sir"
"How is it, then, that he has never
been away from school? ?"
"Well, sir, he had them. ia his holi-
days" was the interesting reply.

Advice for Fat People.

When a woman by reason OF heredi-
tary tendencies or by luxurious living
finds herself inclining 70 marked EN-
bonpoint, aud consequent shortness OF
breath and other ills, the path of self
denial lies straight before her in the
matter Of diet. All fats aud sweets
are to be scrupulously avoided. Water
in excess, milk, alcoholic drinks or
malt liquors fOrsworn, as well as thick
soups, sauces, spices, potatoes, white or
sweet, hominy, oatmeal, rice, starches,
beets. carrots, parsnips, paddings, pies
and cakes. Boiled bacon, lean mutton
aud beef, fish of all kinds, chicken
consomme, game, eggs, asparagus.
caulih0wer, onions, celery, crosses,
turnips, squash, spinach, white cab
bage, tomatoes, ,radishes, lettuce, greens,
stale bread. gluten, grapes, oranges,
fruits, berries and acids may be in
dulged in without failure of nutrition
or strength, and will tend at the same
time to reduction of weight. Dietary
rules, however, will be Intellectual un-
less accompanied by systematic and
vigorous exercise.
Dress warmly while exercising in
order to induce profuse and prolonged
perspiration. Ranuing and fast walk
ing are especially good forms of exer-
else. After such exercise take cold
bath, following it by vigorous rub
bing with coarse towel or bath nit
tens.

One Beware for Manmas.

Such temptation as it IS with some
women to overdress their little onesl
Though they may have to do with
"Grandpa's old broadeloth froek eoatp

girl is often "gotten up TO kip in gor-

fine lace, and the most overpowering
millinery.
Aud it's wrong,
II wrongs the child by making her
vain, selfish and foolish, and it wrongs
tn mother; il is of far more Importance
that she should be nicely dressed.
No doubt, the mother argues that it
cost so little, comparatively, for the
small finery. But no argument, how
ever plausible, avails.
Let the mother ask herself il she
wants her dear little one TO grow up
selfish, silly and demanding. For even
this mistake of new velvet luxury for
baby versus the old made-overs for
mamma will convince Miss Littlegirl
that her mother doesn't COUNT

An Ideal Rudely Dispelsd.

While William NJ. Evarts was
member of the Senates says Harper's
Weekly, an employe, fastening late
one afternoon through one OF the upper
corridors, was aecosted by a stranger,
evidently farmer, with the query:
"Can you tell me where l can see Sen
ator Evarts? l have admired him all
my life, and have never seen him.
To tell you the truth, have come to
Washington to see him more than any
thing else. l don't want to speak to
him; Just to look at him."
The employe took him into the SEN
ate gallery and sat down with him.
Evarts was not on the floor, but in q
few minutes he strolled in and stepped
up TO the steps leading to the vice
presidents desk, so that all his dimin-
utiveness and slenderness were in evil
dence.
"fnere be is,r said the employe.
"Whatp' said the farmer. THAT
little fellow? Then he looked long aud
earnestly at him, and turning to his
companion said, GOSH 1 bet he

To Relieve Coughing.

A persistent and annoying cough
which occurs at night and keeps the
patient awake may frequently be con-
trolled by glass of warm milk with
seltzer, or some mineral water, q cup
of warm cocoa drunk slowly OIL retir-
ing. Cough makes cough. 40 con-
troll cough" says DR.. Abrams, of San
Francisco, in one of his popular lee
lures at Cooper Medical Coiiege, sis u
matter of discipline. II we are in a
public place and our skin i.ehes, we do
not always scratch the part, but sup
press the sensation by will power.
Cough, like itching, is a reflex act and
can be controlled by will power. Many
individuals exhaust themselves by un-
necessary exertion in coughing. Take
your cough cooly. Avoid cough reme-
dies il possible during the daytime;
avoid crowded room before retiring,
or, if this is impossible, smoking or
anything which will taint the atmps-
phere must be interdieted. The appli-
cation of a warm poultice or hot bag
to the chest will often relieve coughing.

The running about the rooms and
corridors that Gen. Joe Wheeler does
in the course ofa day when in congress
would completely wear out less in
defatigabIe man, writes a Washington
correspondent in the New York Sun.
There is considerable method in that,
however, as it enables him to escape
many importunate constituents-they
are never able to catch up with him.
One day during the last session a
stranger went to the room of the mill
tary committee and inquired if Gen.
Wheeler was in. The affabie attend
ant got into conversation with him
and found him to be some one whom
the general would like to see. The
stranger said be had been up to the
house two days hunting Wheeler, and
every one would tell him the general
was just here, or there, or in the smok-
ing room, but he could not find him.
Said the attendant:
10 you really WANT 10 see zen.
Wheeler ?''
81 certainly do,n replied the visitor.
Then take my advice, sir. Pick out
any spot on this side the Capitol-it
doesn't matter where, and just stand
there quietly for ten minutes, and am
morally certain.the general will come by
it. and thus you will have your oppor-
tunity to speak to him."
81 expect that's good advice" re-
turned the visitor, land 1 think will
stay right here for WHILE"
In less than three minutes General
Wheeler bounced into the room, and,
seeing his friend, expressed the utmost
delight in the meeting.
