A Village Blacksmith Saveds-Ais Little
Sons Life

Mr.. II. H. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan county. N. Y, says: 'Our
little SOD, five years old, has always
been subject to Group, and so baf
have the attacks become that we feaped
many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many
medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now my sole reliance. It
seems to dissolve the tough mucus
and by giving frequent doses when the
croupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded Group is cured
before it gets settled" There is no
danger in giving this remedy for it

drug and may be given as confidently

The writer, after nearly seven years
experience as teacher, became con-
vinced that the hours spent in the
school room by both teachers and pu-
pills are too long. The State j Journal.
of Topeka, recently published this
on the subject:
1.-The school teachers are about the
only class of paid workers who have
not asked for shorter hours. If not
for their own sake, it is remarkable
that they do not make sucn demand
for the sake of the children. Both
teachers and pupils put in too many
hours, especially so in the schools
where children are required to do
work at night in addition to that per-
formed during the day. Under the
present system it is not to be won
dered at that it takes so many years
for the children to graduate from the
primary schools. They are kept tired
all the time.''

their natural support, press upon the

by shoes with too thin soles, and

Practice ard Precept.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun describes a scene IN a restaurant
in New York when three respectable
looking colored women came in to get
some luncheon. Their presence
caused a flutter among the walters
and a messenger was sent for the pro-
prietor. In the meantime tho women
waited patiently to give their order
and were most decorous in their be
havior. Then the proprietor arrived
and informed them that they could
not be served. The writer concludes
that IF we can set no better example
to the south in the treatment of the
colored race, would we better not
maintain a discreet silence on the
subject?" He adds very truly that it
is much easier to preach than to prac-
tice.
