Children 5 Gardening.


The beautiful idea OF interesting chill
dren in gardening has recently been
given new impetus in Nashville, and the
following article from the Chattanooga
News will prove interesting in this con-
nection:
Should the question arise as to the
practicability Of encouraging the chill
dren to learn the art Of caring for flower
beds and the easier steps to the greater
science OF agriculture, there are NUM-
Der Of answers to the query which have
been formulated by capable writer
upon the subject, which it would be well
for all to bear in mind. They read as
follows Why encourage children $
gardening2
/. Totake children off the streets in
the vacation period and still give pleas
ant out-of-doors occupation in which
they will be interested.
2. To teach the elements of the in
dustry on which life principally depends
-agriculture--and thus promote the
distribution Of population to rural dis
tricts, instead OF OF eefigested cities.
8. To teach children to learn by OBJ
servation and give them practical train
ing by the eye and by the hand.
4. TO influence character by appeal
to their love Of nature.
8. To prepare the child for citizen
ship by teaching practically the care Of
public and private property.
6. To educate the emotions by teach
ing care and protection Of tender grow
ing things.
z. TO mould character by demanding
independence and self-reliance, each
child being dependent upon himself in
a garden for the results Of his labor.

mighty roar and with such force that
the brick wall to the card room of the
Lexington Manufacturing Company
could not Withstand it's power. The
damage to the mill property was great,
the loss amounting to several hundred
dollars. The mill was forced to sus-
pend operations Monday.

George, who was asleep in the mill,
did not know Of the break until the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed con
dltion of the mucous surfa ces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by ca
tarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
