UnruIy School Children.

AlhoIu OHIOulCle.
That teacher at Rehoboth, who in
sisted upon expulsion Of unruly pupils
from the school. was right. No child
should be tolerated in any school for a
day, who fails to obey the rules for
its government. That pupil has no right
to disturb the schools by annoyance
and distraction of the teachers ef-
forts to impart instruction to other
pupils; and the parents who uphold
their children in obstreperous acts and
deeds. deserve to be deprived of public
school privileges. Parents owe TO
others. as a duty. to see that their chill
dren obey md take advantage Of pub
lie school opportunities, and that they
do not waste their efforts or annoy

Teaching Children tn Cook.

Teaching little girls how to buy and
to prepare simple, wholesome foods Is
feature of several schools I'm New
Yorks great east side. In the thickly
settled districts OF Little Italy or the
Ghetto it Is almost invariably the case
that both parents work during the day.
This leaves the oldest girl OF the lit
tie family not only to care for the
baby, but also to prepare the evening
meal.
Imagine little girl OF from eight to
twelve years trying to stretch the pen
niles for dinner in the wisest way.
The main object OF the schools is to
teach the young students what to buy,
how to convert it into plain, whole
some food, never to waste anything left
over and, above all, how to have some
thing warm and palatable for the tired
father and mother when they come
home ut night. II there are no girls
In the family the schools teach the

ments today were turned out by the

ever, has been very limited. Based
upon this knowledge successful exper-

physicians through the use of the solu-

yer i'm suppurative diseases, as, for in
stance, in the dreaded puerperal fever
aud other suppurative fevers.
DIR. Moosbruggcr of Leutkirch has
now used collangol I'm appendicitis, as
well internally and externally. This
treatment, according to his statement
In the Munich Medical Weekly Re-
view, has yielded extraordinarily good
results. Within two or three DAYS aft
er treatment decided improvement
was noticeable in incipient cases. In
cases where an Inflammation Of the
peritoneum had already taken place a
cure was, however, very slow-often
only after weeks Of treatment both in
ternally and externally. Excepting
two very severe cases out of the sew
enty-two which came under his obssr-
vation and treatment all were cured
without any surgical operation. He
claims that this treatment is very
much superior to any other and that
he is justified in stating that every
case of appendicitis, if early diagnosed,
be it ever so acute and malignant, can
be cured with collangol without re-
sorting to the knife.
I'm view of the otherwise favorable
experiences with this remedy ii is very
probable that his opinion will prove
correct, but, after all, it will yet re-
quire great deal of very critical OBJ
servation before it will be safe to dis
pense with a timely operation, which
is capable of saving many lives. The
published statements of DR.. Moosbrug-
ger are not explicit enough as to the
history of the cases to make a real
criticism possible. At all events, his
statements deserve careful attention.
On the other hand, it cannot yet be
stated how long the cure will last
Light cases of appendicitis can be heal
ed for time, as is well known. The
question, however, is for how long.
Further experiments win be awaited

How a Poet Tb;nks

IN a recent lecture on Victor Hugo.
Jean Richepin declared that when n
yTlc poet thinks OF word there comes
INTO MS mind, together with the crowd
or associations that the word awakens
lot other people, n great number OF
words that rhyme with the one first
thought of. Each of these brings its
own association OF ideas, and thus the
poets mental vision OF words is vastly
ncher than that of persons who think
OF them only in their ordinary individ-
uai meanings. NJ. Richepin, himself a
poet, believes also that the sound and
accent OF words ere always wildly
present 10 the poets mind.
