Causes for Stupidity in Children.

The teacher should be close OBJ
server Of his pupils, and should know
when they are failing in bodily STAN
ina as well as when they are not keep
ing up their scholarship record.
Many children have defective eye
sight, and suffer for want Of properly
adjusted glasses. Their astigmatism,
myopia, or some other error refrac-
ton, does not cause serious discomfort
until the eye strain required to accom-
modate the vision for close work
brings on headache, irritability of tenn
per and digestive disorders, which so
often perplex even the physician, who
fails to look in the right direction for
the causes of these disorders.
Often little consideration is shown
the stupid members of class. The
dull boy or girl is always expected to
be at the foot, yet the cause of the
dullness may be only natural timidity
due to imperfect hearing, mouth
breathing, the result of enlarged tom
sils, nasal Catarrh, or growths in the
nose, all of which conditions can cas-.
lily be relieved. The health would be
more vigorous, and the normal activ-
| ity of the brain would be manifested
in increased ability TO acquire knowl-
| edge.

one Of these monkeys slept on his

They lie on their sides, on their
stomachs, every which way, but there
isn't one a.lying on his back. There
never is. No monkey ever was found
sleeping on his back. Sometimes as

A baby pig objected to being Rugged

longed TO the happy family" at the
show. All season there have beer
three monkeys, hairless dog and a
pig in one cage. All have seemed to
be on the most friendly terms. but the
pig usually has been the butt of all
the jokes which Skip, mischievous
monkey, could invent. Skip's particu
lar fancy was the curled stump OF
piggy's tail, and he had a habit OF
stealing up and giving it a sudden
jerk But the pig didn't mind; he
seemed TO look on it as a friendly
sign. The other day, however, Skip
ruffled the natural dignity of the pig
by putting his arms around it's neck
Quick as a flash the pig snapped
Skip's tail, and that broke up the

A man who had been at work in a

fellows in the same room in the shoe

among themselves. The eggs Matched
and then the devoted bantam raiser
hung over the chicks" in rapture
They were the most awful specimens
of bantams, though, that he ever saw.
They were the lankest and most in
significant and nakedest and fuzziest
birds he ever met in all his existence.

in the shop agreed, without much urg-

came in ones and tWos and threes and
squads, and filled the hen house and
1ocked his premises, and after they
had all got there they gave the hen

Washinaton,s SIGNATURE.

put his pen to the paper five times.

dots; third. his hand and arm were
placed in a position. to write ASKING,
these six letters occupying a breadth
OF almost exactly one and three-quar-
tiers inches. This Is about as much of
the arc of a circle (of which the center
is the elbow pivoted on the table, as
one with a forearm of average length
can cause to coincide with the tan

made. and a great deal more move

ends in curved flourish, of which the
convex side is turned upward below

the very peculiar flourish above the

ject of dotting the and crossing the t

walled country, walled cities, walled

wall after wall and wall within wall
But the greatest of all is the great wall
of China, built 213 years before our

laid IN regular courses some twenty
feet high, and then topped out with
large, nd.burned brick, the ramparts
high and thick and castellated for use
Of arms. 1t was built to keep the war

by forty feet thick, 1900 miles long,
with room on top for six horses to be
ridden abreast. For LOO years ii

strong as when put in place. How
one feels while standing on this vast
work scrutinizing its old masonry, its
queer old cannon and ambitious sweep
along the mountain crest. In speech
less awe we strolled or sat and gazed
in silent wonder. Twelve hundred
miles of this gigantic work, built on
the rugged, craggy mountain tops,
vaulting over gorges, spanning wild
streams, netting the river archways
with huge, hard bars of copper; with
double gates and swinging doors and
bars set thick with iron armor-a
wonder in the world, before which

Woman Had Multiplicity Of Reasons
for Insomnia.
The woman who boasts that she
never sleeps well has many reasons at
her tongues end, and nobody dares
dispute them. There is one woman in
particular who has no family, and
spends her life in travelling and visit
ng. She therefore has an opportunity
to test all sorts of places.
Il can't sleep in New York on ac-
count of the elevated trains that run
within a block of Cousin James
house" she explained to a friend one
day, land in Philadelphia there Is
IN electric light that shines from the
corner right on my bedroom wall, and
never wish to have blinds closed.
I'm Boston my friends live on
street through which the milk carts
come very early.
in Washington, at the Duncans',
there's dog, and he's liable to bark
at any time, so | keep expecting to
hear him, even when he doesn't.
In Buffalo, at Henry's, there's
cuckoo clock that keeps waking me
up. When Pm with the Salisburys l
just lie and listen to the sea booming
and splashing all night long And at
dear Annals, of course, there are
babies"
Il should think you'd love to go out
to the Henderson's said the SYM
pathetic friend. Right in the woods,
and no farm animals, like hens, or
anything to disturb you"

from insomnia raised her eyes to
