FAvORs SEPARATE TEACHERS.
Principal Wants Departmental Sys-
tenn in Higher Grades.

Public school officials OF Washington
are considering the introduction of the
departmental system of teaching in the
seventh and eighth grades. The system.
which is that employed in the high schools,
is thought especially needed in these
grades in order to make a smoother tran
sition to the high schools The system
provides for a separate teacher for each
study, which allows the teacher to be-
come more proficient in that one subject
than can be attained where a number
of subjects have to be covered.
The agitation of introducing the sys-
tenn was brought about by Supervising
Principal Nalle, Of the Tenth division, re-
questing that he might put the system in
practice in the Myrtilla Miner School.

DR.. Emil Bunzi of Vienna, Austria,
in speaking of diseases of the throat
and their remedies, said that yawning
had its great value. Yawning has re-
Gently been, recommended, independ-
emily as a valuable exercise for the
respiratory organs
According to Doctor Naegl of the
University OF Leuttich," said Doctor
Bunzi, ''yawning brings all the respira
tory muscles of the chest and throat
into action, and is, therefore, the best
and most natural means Of strengthen
ing them. He advises everybody to
yawn as deeply as possible, with out
stretched arms, in order to change
completely the air in the lungs and
stimulate respiration.
'In many cases he has found the
practice to relieve the difficulty in
swallowing and disturbance of tht
sense of hearing that accompany ca
tarrh of the throat The patient is
induced to yawn through suggestion
imitation of preliminary exercise in
deep breathing.

Pias, Feet.

In olden times every part of the pig
was utilized, and there are many per-
sons now to whom a dish of pigs feet
Is sweet delicacy. To insure the lat
ter quality, it is well to ask the dealer
to have them well cleaned and not
picked unless you are fond of the
sharply acid flavor usual in those sold
as such Then after you have left
this part of the process to your dealer,
just imagine that it has not been done
at all, and look them over very care
fully, and cut them apart so you can
remove every hair and trace Of dark
skin or anything else which you may
find and that does not look inviting.
When they are literally clean, cover
them with cold water and let them
cook until they fall apart and every
tiny bone is free from gristle. Then
skim them out into pan and proceed
to remove the bones, some of which
are so small and white and like the
fleshy parts that it requires careful
eyesight and the sense Of touch to
discover them. When we'll picked over,
