previous overcoats. The effect is to
make the shoulders look very narrow
in front and the back quite round. 1t
looks, in fact, like sack hanging
from the shoulders, and that Is exact
ly what The overcoat was in the first
place.
The original Raglan overcoat was
fashioned out of a sack. By some the
invention is attributed to Lord Rag
Ian himself, but it seems more likely
that it was invented by some officers
under his command, that he put on the
finishing touches and they gave it his
name.
The soldiers suffered greatly ftom
the cold. They took the heavy sacks
in which -four, potatoes and other pro.
visions were sent to the army and
made overcoats out of them. The
opening already made at the top Of
the sack served as the neck Of the
coat, and they cut the sleeves by
rough process from the sack itself.
The result of this was the sleeve run
ming straight up to the neck, with a
curious seam on the shoulders in
front, which was originally intended
to take up the excessive fulness.
These coats were hailed with joy,
saved the lives of great many men
and achieved popularity which they
did not lose in long time.

In the workshop boys are Instructed
to use carpenters and coopers' tools,
and not only learn to repair, but are
soon able to manufacture boxes and
similar articles in wood
The whole care of the garden and
grounds is intrusted under instruction
to the children, who almost invariably
take interest and pride in their work.
When the practical work is over for
the season bulbs and roots for pot
flowers are distributed among the
children, who at their homes practice
the care of indoor plants.
The site of the large school garden
in Leipsig, though surrounded by for
ests, is exposed to the sun, and is
watered by the River Pleisse, and is
conveniently located. 1t contains 12,-
900 square yards. The soil in the
garden is fertile. being what is called
"Aulehm" earth deposited by the riv-
er in earlier periods. and was plowed
deep. In the garden Is pretty pond,
surrounded py and containing large
variety of water plants. On the shady
side of this pond rocks have been
placed, so as to allow different speci-
mems of plantJ to be raised which usu-
; ally grow in the mountains. In the
centre of the garden is rough pavil-
ion, where the children can take shell
ter in case they are caught in show
er.
The botanical teachers devote much
of their time to the herbs and spices
which are used in the household
Vegetables, too, are especially consid-
cred, and the children are taught to

were far ahead of Germany with re-
spect to school gardens. However, a
close observation of the school gar
dens of these countries, Sweden
France and Belgium, reveals the
fact that they are giving more in
struction On the practical side Of gar
dcning than they are to such work in
schoolrooms; indeed, the school gar
dens, or so-called school gardens, of
these three countries have devoted al
most their entire time to the cultiva-
ton of fruit and vegetables. The
school gardens not only Of Saxony,
but of the whole of Germany, are in
creasing rapidly in numbers, and un-
der the guidance of well-trained teach
ers are becoming more and more valu-
able every day.
The first practical efforts to estab-

countablc for what he has done.
Whatever may be the shortcomings
of the giant, he is certainly no cow

the simplifcation and purity of the
German language. One of its aims is
to make both spoken and written Ger

and less involved sentences, but by the
elimination of the use of foreign words
in the social, business and scientific
worlds. The headquarters of the as
sociation are in Berlin. and there are

How Brain Workers Should Eat.

1t is all right for the man who labors
all day in the open air to eat freely;
but the man of sedentary habits, the
brain worker, must adapt his way OF
living to his needs. He must be we'll
nourished, for the brain is incapable
of good work unless supplied with
pure blood, but such man cannot
possibly furnish vital force to digest
three meals daily. If he tries it nature
will protest at every step. The chem
ical changes of digestion will be i'm.
perfectly performed. The stomach will
neither secrete freely nor churn the
food with cheerful alacrity; the py-
loric oritice contracts and allows such
chyme to pass with grudging reluct-
ance; the intestinal lacteals are
ashamed to absorb such miserable
pabulum, which chokes, irritates and
conCeStS them, so the large meal re.
mains in the digestive organs to fer.
ment, putrefy and steep the individual
in foul gases and depravcd secrctions.
But the system can furnish enough
vital force to convert 4 small meal
into pabulum of high standard. which
will be absorbed without difficulty.
Three such small meals are not
enough to keep the individual prop
erly nourisl!cd, however; four to SIX

sist of but one or at most two articles
of food, the diet to be varied by
changes ut meals. The portion OF food
served must he small; the patient must
stop as soon as the appetite is salts
fled, and gaseous distention is proof
positive that the meals arc still too
large or too close togethcr.-Sanitary
