EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

An association has been formed for
the purpose of supplying, under certain
conditions, spectacles to children in
London elementary schools.
The education committee of the Lon
don county council has been revising
the ,ist of prize books given to pupils.
Among the books struck out as mot
"Vanity Fair" "Dombey and Son."
"Pendennis" and Great Expecta-
tions."
The recent convention of learned
men at Berlin has advised the govern
ment to establish two kinds of lyce-
ums for girls, one of eight years, cor
responding to a high school in this
country, and another with supple
mentary course of four years, prepara-
tory 70 the university.
Joseph C. Graveur has been school
master in the Tombs prison, New York
city, for seven years. His pupils are
the young men and boys awaiting trial
for various offenses. Mr. Graveurl has
exerted an influence for good upon
thousands of boys. There is not suct
another sc:.ool in the world. The
schoolmaster let's the boys ask him
whatever they want to know. There is
no se- form of study. One question
leads to another, and the Tombs school
takes more the form of a general in
formation bureau than anything else.

THE WINTER BLANKETS
Some Housewives Prefer to Wash
When the Summer Sun is Hot
How to Pack Away.

If you have been delayed in pack
ing away the heavy winter clothing
of the family, or in having blankets
washed, it is a good time to finish
up the job this month. Many par
ticular housewives prefer waiting for
the hottest of summer SIMS to dry
and sweeten freshly washed blankets,
and this is a good time to have such
work done.
Then, in laying them away, as the
moth miller has laid it's eggs long
since, try wrapping articles in freshly
printed newspapers; moths particuu-
larly dislike printers ink, and will
not devour anything smelling of it,
so the papers, the newer the better,
may be used, as they are plentiful in
almost every house.
If this is done in June, everything
should be taken out, shaken, beaten,
aired and summed, about the second
week in July; once again during Au-
gust and once more in September;
fresh papers are then used in rewrap-
ping the parcels, and when the time
comes to use the garments and bed
ding there is no awful smell to en-
dure for the ensuing several weeks

FACTS GUARANTEED
Neuralgia and Anaemia are Cured ky
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

r.
For nearly a generation the people Of
this country have known DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, during which time proof Of
thousands of cures by this remedy has
been published and confirmed and noe
one person has been harmed i'll the slight
est degree by their use. The pills con-
tain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant,
nor any drug which could injure the
most delicate constitution.
'sFor over a year, says Miss Charlotte
Van Salisbury, of Castleton, NY, "I
suffered from neuralgia and palpitation
of the heart. My skin was pale and sal
low and was troubled with dizziness,
fainting spells and fits of Indigestion. I
was very nervous and would start at the
slightest sound. At times great weak
ness would come over me and OH one oc-
casion my limbs gave way under me and
I fell to the sidewalk.
sOf course was treated by our local
physicians and also consulted a noted
doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave
me seemed to benefit me. One day I
read i'll newspaper about DR.. williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and I imme-
diately gave them trial. soon felt
much better and my color had begun to
return. I continued using the pills and
by the time I had taken eight boxes /
was entirely cured.
sMy sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suf-
fered terribly from ane1nia. She was
pale and thin and we feared that she
would become victim of consumption.
She tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and in short time she be-
gan to gain in strength and weight;
She is now strong and we'll and we both
heartily recommend DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to all who are in ill health"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
iance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

CIGAR BAND FAD PENALTIES
The Collecting Habit Puts Smokers
to a Great Deal of An
noyance.

Would you mind taking the band
on that cigar carefully and give it to
me?" asked Westside of Rivers. as
they both "lit up"
Sorry" said Rivers, according to
the New York World, but I'm saving
them,. too. l was just about to ask
you for yours"
So your little girl has the collect
ing habit?" said Westside. Il thought
my young lady was the only one in
our set who had been seized with the
epidemic
Il should say not. My little girl
began collecting cigar bands three
months ago, and since then my days
have been filled with responsibility
l buy cigars according to the bands
now, having given up my old favorites
because she had plenty of the bands
of that kind. AS soon as 1 get a dozen
or so bands of one kind she begins to
wish for a different sort, having
swapped all her duplicates with her
friends. Then l look for an unknown
brand, and the strange band tickles
her immensely"
Same with me-" said Westside. IF
l don't arrive home with half a dozen
bands every night she thinks I'm neg
lecting her, and if don't smoke that
number of cigars day l have to beg
bands" 80
And he produced handful of cigar
bands, gaudy gold and red things. AS
soon as Rivers eyes saw them he was
all eagerness.
Let's see those" he said. by jove,
there's several there that my little girl
hasn't got. Have you got any more
like those?"
"A couple" said Westside. "I'll
swap you one for anything you've got
that my little girl hasn't got"
Whereupon there was an exchange.
MY little girl has nearly 1000
bands" said Westside How many
has yours?"
Il haven't counted them" said Riv-
ers, "but she has four or five albums
filled and lot she hasn't put in the
books. Say, your little girl ought to
know my little girl. They might swap
some of their duplicates"
| That's SO. I'll bring her around
Sunday. Say, will you have a fresh
cigar?"

THEN HE BROKE A LEG.
Government Clerk at Washington
Found Way to Utilize
Red Tape.

The following story, illustrative OF
the red tape that used to prevail in a
certain department of the federal gov
ernment at Washington, is told, says
Success, by an official who began his
service there in the humble capacity of
clerk:
Shortly after entering upon the dis
charge of my duties," said the official,
Il witnessed a scene in the division to
which I mad been assigned that aston
ished me to a degree. One day an ell
iderly clerk whose desk was near mine
suddenly rose from his seat, dragged
his chair to fireplace, and, seizlng a
poker, attacked the offending piece Of
furniture with what appeared to be
maniacal fury. When he had broken
ia leg off the chair, his passion seemed
to be exhausted. He flung the damaged
chair into a corner of the room and.
getting another chair, calmly resumed
his work just as if nothing had oc-
Cured.
when the time came to leave the
Office that afternoon, l ventured to ask
fellow-clerk, who had been a witness
of the scene, what it meant. Is that
clerk I inquired, subject to attacks
of that kind?'
1.-THE clerk questioned smiled 1ndul-
gently. Oh he explained, there was
nothing the matter with him. You see,
one of the castors had come Off his
chair. This department will not replace
castors-it repairs nothing less serious
than broken leg. So Blank broke one
of the legs and now he will be able to
get the castor put on again."
