DEAR SIR
| think that every man that has a
team of horses or any stock, ought TO
have a bottle of Meyers White Liniment
in the stable or his house. | had a
horse that stepped in a hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade That
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off, and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely, and in a few days he was to work
again, and does not show any signs of
lameness. 1t worked like magic

The first period was occupied by
Professor f. L. Kemp with a continu-
alton of his subject. Things to be
Learned at Home " His talk was
mainly limited to birds, which lie
handled in pretty much the same way
As the subject of leaves which he pres
ented on tuesday afternoon Instead
of the pressed leaf he showed the
stuffed or mounted bird and the latter
lesson proved as interesting and in
struCtive a. the former Professor
Kemp had large collection and the
teachers were given an opportunity of
revealing what they know about or
anthology by giving the name OF the
bird As each specimen was held up.
During the talk the structure of birds
was considered in relation TO their
habits, etc.

presented the first of series of les

for awakening the interest of boys
and girls He exhibited to the in

ing white oak, black oak, chestnut,
rock oak and others and found thar
there were but few IN the room who
could tell which tree was represented
by any particular leaf. The difference
in the contour of leaves is very slight,
but it can easily be impressed on the
memory. Professor Kemp recommend
eel that the pupils in order to obtain a
more accurate knowledge on the sub
ject De required to draw pictures of
the different kinds of leaves.
Professor Ward occupied two periods
yesterday afternoon. In his first talk
his subject was: THE Novel and the
Short Story" i'll his second, Read
ings for Young People. Fiction OF
the right sort, he held, serves use
ful purpose. In fiction there is es-
sentially clash of contending forces,
ure is true 10 nature and is not over
drawn. He has therefore no more use
for books of the goodygOod sort than
he has for vile literature. Above all
in selecting books for children be sure
that they are true to nature and Will
not give the inexperienced reader false
ideas of life. Give the boy healthy
normal story dealing with friendships
between boys and between man and
man Let him read good healthy ad-
venture and even peruse Thackery,
which will reveal TO him that all
things are not what they seem.
