HOW TO TEACH CHILDREN.
Here Are Some Suggestions by
Writer on Education.

:" r1ter on EducatIon.
writer in an American education
al journals offers some interesting
suggestions for teaching children, says
the Dundee Advertiser. 1t is useless,
ing technical terms or even terms that
would be descriptive to a grown-up.
The point is Illustrated by an ingenious
parallel. Instead of telling a child to
sit up straight" it would be better TO
tell him TO sit up tall" In the same
way If child shouts too loudly in sing
Ing. Ee should lie told to listen after
taking "a long SMELL and if he real
ICES what is meant and does it, this
will set the muscles of the waist and
check the flow of breath, while the
child will be unconscious to its ac-
ton
Such suggestion as the following do
far more good than scientific terms in
procuring the right tone reproduction
from the child. Do not sing in a
growing tone. Do not sing in a scold-
ing tone" "A fish horn tone sounds
terribly descriptive, but we imagine its
viyidness would be lost on an English
child. Sing with a pleasant face Sing
with a smile. Sing like the sweetest
bird you ever heard. Sing a kindly
tone. Sing a sweet, loving tone Make
your lips sing to you. Whisper aloud.
as though you wanted some friend in
the furthest corner of the room to
hear YOU 1t is to be hoped that
after all this there would be no dan
ger of the children learning to sing in
a maudlin tone.

PARLIAMENT FOR FILIPINos.
In 1907 the President Will Redeem
Promise Made.

Promise Made.
A Washington dispatch says that the
President is preparing 10 redeem has
promise made to the Philippine people
through Secretary Taft that they shall
have a parliament of their own, con-
ditioned upon their good behavior for
term of two years, and it is under
stood that Secretary Taft himself VIII
proceed to the Philippines next spring
to witness the installation Of the new
form of representative government
On March 81, 1905, the Philippine
census was published, and consequent
ly two years from that date-March
of Congress. the President will direct
the Philippine commission to call a
general election for the choice of dele
gates to what will be known as the
Philippine assembly. This body is to
take over all legislative powers hereto
fore exercised by the Philippine COM
mission in all that part of the archi-
pelago not inhabited by Moros or nom
Christian tribes.
AS this date draws near the Philip
pine people are showing signs of agi-
tation and to the officials here it is evil
dent that they are expecting some ben
efitS that cannot at once be realized.
For instance, the assembly of pr0vi-
Manila with the view to arranging the
preliminaries for the meeting of the
Philippine assembly is reported to
have that the suffrage be
widely extended. 1t is pointed out
here that this is not possible, for tie
reason that the act of Congress under
which the assembly will be convened
expressly states the qualifications Of
voters.
These in brief are that the voter
must be at least % years of age
(Which was the Spanish requirement. /;
must be able to read and write either
Spanish or English. or must own a GER
tain small amount of property, or
must have been in the past an office
holder under the Spanish government.
These qualifications were framed upon
the old Spanish practice and no Philip
pine assembly can change them. The
new assembly or legislature will con-
sist of two houses to be known as the
Philippine compassion and the Philip
pine assembly, the latter to consist of
not less than fifty nor more than 100
members. 1t is probable that the pres
ent commission will be merged in the
upper house.

The disease was pronounced sciatic
rheumatism and, although had a good
physician and took his medicine faith

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia z. Pinl1ham' S
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.

lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.

Marvellous Cure by Cuticura.
My son, who is now twenty-five
years Of age, when he was four months
old began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. We had all the doc
tors around US, and some from larger
places, but no one helped him a par
ticle. The eczema was something ter
rible, and the doctors said it was the
worst case they ever saw. At times
his whole body and face were COW
cred, all but his feet. l had to ban
dage his limbs and arms; his scalp was
just dreadful. A friend leased me TO
try Cuticura, and l began to use all

Experts in the Department of Agri-
culture have now reported that hens
eggs may contain dangerous disease
germs, even if they are fresh laid They
say it is possible for an egg to become
infected with bacteria, either before it
is laid or after, and that the porous
shell offers no more resistance to this
micro-organism than it does to that
which causes an egg to spoil. They say
that typhoid germs may attach them
selves to the hens feet or feathers and
penetrate the shell before the egg is
laid. The eggs of worms, as we'll as
