SCHOOLS FOR SUFFERERS.

Special Course in Vienna-Some Of
the Requirements of the Pupils.
Discussing suffering DIR. Leopold
Senner of Vienna said last night that
there are classes in the public schools
in Vienna to overcome the defects in
speech of children.
"The length Of the course" said DR..
Senner, lis five weeks and instruction
is given during two hours each day.
The number of pupils in each class
is limited to eight, as a class cannot
be conducted successfully with larg-
er number. The children withdraw
from other school attendance, as it
is essential that they devote them.
selves exclusively to the course for
the cure of suffering. In order to be
admitted to the classes the children
must present medical certificates that
they are free from any organic di.
sease that would interfere with the
purpose of the instruction.
"The cooperation Of the parents"
continued the Austrian physician, lis
especially important to the success OF
the cure. During the period of the
special instruction it is necessary that
the children have a separate room
where they can practise the exercises
given them without any disturbance
whatsoever. The parents must under
take to have the children practise the
exercises at home for at least four
hours daily, and during the first two
weeks not to allow them to speak at
all except to practise the exercises
prescribed by their instructors.
Keeping silent is of such import
ance that the success of the course
depends upon this requirement being
strictly observed. Parents are par
ticularly advised never to cast any
doubt upon the effectiveness of the
course or of the teachers. 1t is well
known that sufferers lack self-con-
fdence, and this must be taken into
account in the treatment. The chill
dren should be encouraged by calling
attention to progress that has been
made. for stutteres are extremely sus-
ceptible to praise. Parents, however,
should be careful to make no expert
ments and to make no tests.
"At the end of the five weeks
course" added Dr. Senner, ''the in
structor brings each pupil back to his
regular school and indicates to his
teacher what has been accomplished,
besides giving advice concerning his
further instruction. The teacher is
requested to try to encourage and
make permanent the new habits ac-
quired. Children who have taken the
special course in suffering are ex-
amined each month in order to deter
mine what permanent results have

Novel Toy For Children.

Children who have been watching
the circus parade this season with
bullying eyes and have seen the lions
and tigers pacing their cages may
themselves own cage with restless
lion in it If their parents are so fortu-
nately situated as to be able to buy
them one. A Michigan man has de-
signed a toy which fills the bill. 1t
consists, of a little wagon, modelled
faithfully after the usual circus cage,
inside which is an oval track. On
this track is mounted lion or some
other one of the animals that Colonel
Roosevelt is busily engaged in shoot
ing. Pulleys running under the body
of the wagon connect with the wheels,
and as the child draws the wagon
around the nursery floor the animal
circles the track inside the cage for
all the world like one of the restless

Cleansing the Teeth.

1t is more important that the teeth
be cleaned thoroughly at night before
retiring than at any other time. A
good alkaline mouth wash should be
used. Rinse it thoroughly through
the teeth by means of the tongue.
Hold the liquid in the mouth two or
three minutes. The mouth with this
treatment is put in an anti-acid con-
dition and offsets to large degree
injury to the teeth from acids. Use
a fairly stiff tooth brush.-Green's

Just About Women.

There are many sick-of-home voy-
ayers on the sea of matrimony.
Now is the time to do things; by
and by is the time to do nothing.
About the sloppiest thing on the

Some women are so contrary that
they even have confidence in a con-

Laughter may be beautiful, but 1t
must be a serious matter to be tickled

If woman's ancestors came over
in the Mayiower she never fails to
mention it to everyone she meets.
If a girl remains single until her

are that her maiden name will adorn
