OVERLOADED WITH LESSONS.
Nearly All Schoolgirls study Too
Many Hours = Day, Says Ethel
linda Hadwen.

There is only 4 certain amount OF
vital force in each child's body; IL you,
by giving too much brain and nerve
straining work. oblige all that vital
force to concentrate itself on the
brain. where is the force which is TO
form the healthy body to come from?
says Ethelinda Hadwen, in Chambers
Journal. You will not produce a noble,
large-minded woman II you give the
girl-child a puny, half developed body
because you are DESTROYS OF putting
too much music, German and French
into her brain in too short a
time. OF what use ia book learn
ing to q girl who has no health Il?
Moreover, too much nerve-straining
brainwork means not merely impaired
health, but also impaired personal ap-
p%earancs. A good complexion, good
teeth. hne hair, clear, bright eyes, An
erect, active figure. are not found in
the girl whose brain has been sys-
tenaticslly overworked. Six hours Of
brainwork II the most that should be
expected Of any schoolgirl In one day;
but girls Of Is and 10 are so overloaded
with lessons that they work, not six
hours. bat nine and ten hours a day.
Now, an eight hour day OF brainwork
Is considered quite suficient for .
strong man; how 10 II reasonable 20
expect that q girl who has not only
to sxpend brain power, but also grow
ing power. and whose nervous system

is far harder in proportion for her.
shall work for two hours longer per
day than the strong man? The thing
is absurd. and the general result is
that the girls too often, like senior
wranglers, have exhausted their
brains and lost al power of original
thought before they leave the academ-
ic world and enter the world of action.
Girls should not 90 to school until
they are seven years of age, and then
should not have more than three hours
of lesson work daily. At the age Of
nine they may study four hours, and
at IL the hours may he increased 10
five. AT II years a girl should be taken
from school for a year. That year will
be most uscfully spent in building up
u reserve stock of strength and in
learning housewifeIy tasks. At the
age of is or 10 n girl is APT 10 become
inpatient over the routine of house
hold tasks. whereas the girl Of ~ or
IL is deeply interested and quite ready
To learn. After a years interval She
will go back to school with 2cst. and
her mind, having had 4 rest. is so in
rigorated that she more than makes
up in quickness of comprehension and
power for the time which has been
otherwise spent. During this year of
change of work the girl may profitably
read standard romasces, histories and
other forms of good literature.

"All right, don't be too long" and
the farmer accepted his trust.
When the minister returned the
farmer was gone. Never did a clerical
masquerade come to a quick end. He
rushed around muttering things pro-
fame, kept his hand in his hip pocket
and told everybody but the police
man that he could lick any farmer
that ever wore shoe leather. Half an
hour later he was in a saloon making
things blue. I'm know him if | ever

The Bermuda lily was introduced into this country in 1875. Two plants in bud and bloom were brought to Philadelphia by lady and given to a florist. This florist, appreciating their beauty and value, cultivated the plants for the bulbs. Since that time the ex- porting Of the lily bulbs has been ono of the industries of Bermuda. Very few lilies are exported, as the cut flow CTS do not arrive in good condition. Nor does it pay to export the growing plants. because of the duty and the cost of freighting so delicate cargo. The bulbs are exported all over the world and are a valuable source of revenue. Thus these beautiful. lilies have a new significance. They bloom that. dying, they may come to life un- der new conditions, where theyssur- pass in beauty what they were in their native home. The cultivating of the bulbs means special care of the how- CTS. for to this care is due the quality of the bulb.-Lilian Betts, in Woman's Home C. mpanion.

Some Dainty Summer
 Gowns for fife Misses

GUNNER gowns for the misses are 4D unusually attractive this year. To
 my mind they are built upon more attractive lines than are the gowns for mothers and older sisters A belle of the select set who has a younger sister just in the middle of her teens said to me a few days ago that she was afraid the younger misses would get more. than their share of attention at the resorts dur ing the summer because of the un- usually attractiveness of the gowns that were being provided for them.
 sThe people who fix our styles for us," she continued, shave burdened us with inharmonious contrasts, with bungling sleeves, with other things that, toSmy mind, are far from being as attractive as they might be, while for our younger sisters they have provided the sweetest, daintiest frocks, with simple light airiness that never before seemed so attract ive.'

Rattlesnakeu.

From the effective character of their weapons of offense and defense, rattlesnakes have a great advantage sn the struggle for existence against zll animals except man and his do- mestic companion. the pig. Hence, Tn unsettled localities in North Amer lea they are abundant, especially in the warm regions of the south and west In many places they are the most abundant species of snakes, as, for instance, on the plains, where no species is as often seen as the Cro- 1alus confuentus. That they have been mach more abundant in many wild parts of the east tban at pres- ent is indicated by the great quanti- ties of, their bones which are found in the caves of the limestone regions of the Mississippi valley. The pig, as is well known, will destroy and eat -attlesnakes with impunity. It is said that the poison is not sufficiently za- troduced into the-c;rculation to cause death, owing to the thick adipose lay CT with which the domesticated pig Is covered.-Smithson Report.
