noted that in the expression of a pur-

the state department goes far beyond
the German declaration on the subject.

"A gentleman in Northampton. Mass,
who requests that his name be kept
from print, had q curious experience
with coffee drinking. He states that
when he was accustomed to the use OF
coffee he would, after every meal, belch
up gas and more or less coffee would
come with It. A part OF 1t would run
back down his throat, and as he says,
initiating in a way the manner Of COW
chewing q cud. He deprecates the incl
egant Illustration, but knows Of no
other way to explain the condition.
He says further, that he was puzzled
for very long time, to account FOR q
sallow complexion and bilious condi-
ton, with heavy, dull. miserable feel-
ing after the meals, and no medicines or
treatment would remove the difficulty.
"a friend warned me that cottee was
the cause of my trouble. but could not
bring myself to believe this, until after
a. time made the experiment Of leaving
off coffee altogether and took up Pos
tum Food Coffee.
"To my surprise, the Ills all quickly
stole away and am now healthy and
in prime condition. know what am
talking about when say that with
some people, coffee causes belching OF
gas and some most disgusting and dis
agreeable features. It also causes head
aches, constipation. biotches and tRua-
dice, with general upsetting and
breaking down OF the nervous system. II

troubles will disappear when coffee 70

SCHOOL MELANGE.

10 .
The teachers and pupils Of the lower
grades Of the schools are greatly pleas
ed with the supplementary readers fur
nished by the board Of education. The
primer ana the afst reader are espe-
claly Ane. They are up-to,date in ev-
cry respect, ana the pupils ere taught
many things outside the duI routine Of
the reading lesson. The plan Of the,
primer seems to be to proceed from the
known 70 the unknown; hence the most
familiar objects are used In the les
sous. The script alphabet 70 Is import
ant e. the Roman, and 30 the child u
taught to read both at the very start
The lessons In drawing are very sug-
gestive to the teacher. They can be
placed on the blackboard by her. while
the pupils can use slate or tablet. The
beautiful pictures Unfamiliar objects In
both primer and first reader are calcu-
lated to Interest the pupils In Q manner
they could not otherwise be. The pho
netic exercises In the first reader 40

methods Of teaching reading. Il 10 Inn
possible TO read wen unless We have
correct pronunciation, and this is SCI
cured by correctly uttering the elenAen-
tary sounds, especially the novels, and
this can be secured most readily : by
faithfully and persiBtently drilling the
pupil In phoneties. II Is only those
children who like to read who ever be-
come what we may really call good
readers. It seems that the author has
had this thought in mind from the very
beginning and by SO arranging the les
sons that they take the form of'short
stories the pupils are kept interested in
spite Of themselves, and are thus fed to
like reading. The graduation Of the les-
sons in the second reader seem to be
about as nearly perfect as can bee In
short, the author has succeeded in Civ
ing an almost perfect set Of readers.
and It makes one wish that they were
our regular school readers instead Of
being merely supplementary. They will
do our schools much good.
The tendency Of the modern ideas in
education seems to be to remove all the
dlficultIes from the path Of the child
and place the burden upon the teachers.
1t seems to be the idea that the child in
the pursuit Of an education, should re-
cline on "howery beds Of ease" while
the teacher, in order to reach the goal
with the pupil carried along, must
fight" and night hard. The idea held
by some parents IS that the teacher
should show the pupil just how to do
everything, that this is her mission,
and that is what she Is paid for as
one parent expressed 1t to the writer.
Our teachers do too much for the pupil.
The great work Of the teacher is to get
the pupils to do the work, thinking the
studying for themselves. but are we
not departing from all this? It is to be
greatly feared that we are, and It Is to
be greatly deplored- that this Is the
case.
In speaking as above, do not be led to
think that the writer thinks the pupil
should never receive help from the
teacher. There are times when 1t is
necessary, but where 1t is actually
needed once, the pupil applies for and
receives help at least ten times. In
saying this the teacher is not blamed
