FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS
Symptoms sf Childish III Worth I'm.
mediate Attention.


Change Of disposition in children Is
often wrongly interpreted and both
parents and teachers have recourse
, to various means to secure improve
ment, such as reprimanding, forcing,
depriving of food, ETC., although con-
ditions grow worse instead of improv-
Ing. A child, for example. enjoying
heretofore good health, all at once
undergoes radical change: he be-
comes slow in his actions. takes more
time than usual in eating, dressing
studying; his intellectual faculties be-
come less vivid, memory fails. he lacks
attention. The condition is diagnos-
ed as laziness and bodily punishment
is inflicted. child like this is GER
tainly i'll, and coercive training will
not improve the condition, but strictly
medical attention. The subject Is GER
tainly important from practical
standpoint, as the future of such a
patient depends upon the early recog-
milton of the pathologic condition. 1t
should be borne in mind by every par
ent or teacher Cheerfulness, laugh
ter, vividness, are all attributes of
youth, and if these characteristic Feat
ures of childhood are rapidly replaced
by lassitude and impairment of intelli
gence. the condition is undoubtedly
morbid.-American Medicine.

DUKE DID NOT LAUGH LAST.
Practical Joke Is Not So Funny as It
Had Seemed.

Duke Carl of Wurtemberg was very
fond of practical jokes in his younger
days. Once he called at a farmhouse
and asked the farmers wife. who was
churning, for glass of milk. She did
not know her visitor, but went away
to fetch the milk, when the Duke
seized cat which was lying near and
threw it, with ducat. into the churn.
When the old woman returned he
drank the milk and walked away.
A year later the same prince entered
the house in a different dress. and
again asked for glass of milk, and in
Quired whether someone hadn't once
secreted cat in her churn. The farm
er's wife laughed, and said:
'Oh, yes; and | wouldn't mind him
doing 1t again at the same price"
What did you do with the butter
you were churning them
"Oh, sent it to the palace, where
they take all my stuff"

Enough to Kill 10.

The Greek room is usually not a
place for humor, nor is Mr.. Fitzgerald
Tisdall, the professor Of Greek at the
College of the City of New York, a
very humorous person.
Nevertheless the following joke was
sprung on him. The class had just
returned from the chemistry room.
where they had bravely listened to a
discourse on the elements. The Greek
lesson was commenced with history
Of 10, and her endless wanderings.
Finally Prof. Tisdall asked, what did

awakened by the question, gasped out,

GIRL FAscINATEs LION.
Fair Dancer Patted AffectionateIy, but
Her Face Is Scratched.


So great was the impression which
a fascinating dancer made on a lion
while she was paying a visit TO mu-
sic hall where 1t was performing that
the animal, after contemplating her
for some time, got on its legs, moved
off in her direction, and, putting its
paws through the bars of its cage.
took hold Of her head and patted her
face affectionately.
Unfortunately, Samson had reckon
ed without his claws, which tore the
tender skin of the pretty dancer, in
ficting scars, the traces of which will,
In all probability, never disappear.
This result of what would otherwise
have been regarded as a good joke.
not being likely to enhance the pro-
fessional attractiveness of the grace
ful Spaniard, she has taken legal ac-
tion against the proprietor of the
place of entertainment, putting in a
claim for damages to the amount of
$1,000.
The case has just been brought be-
fore one Of the Paris courts, but. as
the defendant Is abroad on business,
the hearing has been adjourned until
November, when the judges may have
a better opportunity for forming an
exact opinion OF the injury which the
charms of the fair plaintiff have sus-
tained at the paws of the susceptible

In the evening her husband inquired

says writer in the Critic. nquir-
ed If he had ever heard Webster pro-
duce such an effect on an audience.
He said never; but he had only heard
Webster in court; it was in defense of
celebrated riminal-perhaps the
Phoenix bank cose in Boston. "Mr.
Webster seemed in a semi-dream. l
thought him half asleep, for he had
his eyes almost closed and was in
heavy state, taking little notice of
what went on in court. William De-
hon, brisk young man, sat near him
and furnished him with law books and
papers and acted as If he were there
to keep Webster awake. There were
three judges on the bench-probably
Judge Shaw and two others-one on
each side of MIN. They watched Web
ster closely, for 1t would not do to
neglect what he might say. He, on

count OF other persons, as If his mind
were anywhere but there. | fancied
he was thinking what his next politi-
cal move should be. He was re-
markable man to look at-far other
than the ordinary run of men-I sup
pose the most remarkable American in
his aspect that ever was seen. They
thought so in England where they
stopped to look after him in the street.

Wear on Wooden Pavements.

In provincial towns in England the
creosoted soft wood pavement has a
life of from twelve to fifteen years,
and hard woods from fifteen to eight
cen years. AT st. Pancras, London,
where there is a traffic of All .31S tons
per yard of width per annum, the
greatest wear of the Australian wood
jarrah was 0.1S inch, or less than one
fifth of an inch per annum.

Poetry for the Open Air.

OF books for the open air, volumes
of poetry are the very best. A line
pregnant with thought, a verse of
lovely lyric, raise us to a fit mood for
the contemplation of natural beauty,
just as a strain of music might do.
The poets have been the closest in
terpreters both of Nature and the
