, Unlike the English girl of the same
class, who is relegated to the nursery,
who rarely ever appears at dinner, or

with an ease and unconsciousness

When girls are sent from home the
schools selected are those under the
control of the church, managed by
various religious orders. Many con-
vents pride themselves upon their ex-
cluslVeness, receiving only girls of the
| higher classes. carefully excluding the
daughters of the bourgeoise-the
wealthy trading and manufacturing
classes-and their alumnae include
nearly every name of the old noblesse
of France.
In these institutions, as in the home
training, while thorough knowledge
of the fundamental branches is reoul-
site, yet here. too, the chief aim is to
make the pupil accomplished rather
than learned; belle rather than
scholar.
There are excellent public schools
which have increased in number and
efficiency under the republic, and which
are attended by both sexes, there being
some difference in the course of study
in the lower grades, but none in the
higher. Where discrimination occurs,
it is the matter of manual training

schools being taught sewing, cookery
and other domestic arts, where boys
are instructed in the use of tools

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 29.-One hun

to death in a railroad wreck near Lexing-

mangled body fell on top of one of the
wrecked engines. The mules that drew
the DeadWood coach also were killed.
Only two or three horses escaped death.
The accident was the result Of head

ADVERTISEMENTS
SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early
Winter.

A change from warm to cold Is always
attended with more danger than from 4
cold to a warm temperature, hence the
diseases at this season of the year as
compared with spring.
The best protection against colds Is not
so much in extra clothing as in good di-
gestion.
If the digestion and circulation are good,
colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation
of the blood, and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the slight
est provocation.
People who make regular practice Of
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals are free from colds simply because
their digestion is perfect, the heart strong
and regular and the whole system forti-
fed against disease.
1t requires little argument to convince
any one that the best safeguard against
colds, pneumonia and changes Of temper
ature is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved, and mingling with
the food cause it to be promptly digested
and assimilated; they do this because they
contain nothing but harmless digestive
elements, which digest meat. eggs and
other food even when the stomach itself
IS weak and flaccid.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets make people
well and keep them well, and the best
habit you can acquire is to keep daily use
of them at meals to make the digestive
organs strong and vigorous.
