eleven denominations, ranging from 81
to $4,000. There are outstanding 154''

Stammorina.

Stammering is due to a peculiarly
nervous temperament, and only very
sympathetic treatment can eject
cure. Stammering In child should
receive immediate attention, and the
first thing to be done is to improve
the little ones health by means OF
plenty Of sleep. fresh air and good
food. Every day he should take deep
breathing exercises In the open air.
These deep, steady Inspirations
strengthen the muscles Of the throat
and counteract q spasmodic habit OF
breathing. Notice should be taken OF
the sounds which the little stammerer
has most trouble with, and sentences
containing these sounds should be
composed for him to repeat each day
very slowly and clearly. He should
also be asked to read aloud every day.
This exercise should be omitted when
ever he seems overexcited or run
down in health. and it goes without
saying that he should never be scold'
ed or laughed at.-New York Tribune.
