The backward child at school.

The backward child at, school, if
given a reasonable time, often de-
velops a more vigorous intellect than
his precocious companions. Some
one has likened such to the sturdy
oak, which requires a century TO an
rive at maturity, when it becomes
the giant of the forest.
Some of the most brilliant men
were slow scholars and often taxed
the patience of their, teachers. D1.
Adam Clarke, author of a columen
tary upon the Bible which has becl
read with interest and profit b,
many thousands, was regarded a.
the most. stupid boy in the schooiG
he attended in early life. On one
occasion gentleman Of the neigh
borhood visited the school when the
pedagogue pointed to Clarke as be.
ing the slowest boy in the institu-
ton, and said it was impossible to
make anything out Of him.
Alienists arc fallibie like othe!
men. They do not know it all.
Over two-score years ago one of thi.

War on Typhoid Fever.

Once more the relation Of typhoid
fever to the water supply has been
demonstrated. During the flood of
some weeks ago the Hudson river at
Albany, N Y. rose foot above the
city filtration beds, and the people re,
ceived the untreated water of the riy-
er, containing the sewage of places
upstream An outbreak of typhoid fol.
lowed, aud 1t was found that rs per
cent. of the cases we're In families
where the warning to boil the water
for drinking had not been needed. The
main reservoir was then sterili2ed
chemically, and the typhoid ceased.
Modern medicine has done great
things in making preventable what in
other days were reckoned TO be the
visitatlons OF God Our grandfathers
wondered at the prevalence OF ty.
phoid after foods, but we know that
the trouble comes from the contami'
nation OF water supplies, and so lives
are saved where once human beings
were doomed. Year by year the sci
ence of sanitation Is reducing the peril
from typhoid.

HAD AROUSED HER CURIOSITY
Small Girl Wanted Painter to DlVul9e
Secret She Evidently Considered
OF Importance.

A certain painter in New York,
though he Ia still young man, and
looks younger, has way of winning
prizes at National academy exhibits
and such. Also he has studio near
Central park. The other day he went
into the park with the sort of para
phernalia artists use when they so
sketching. He picked out place to
suit him, set up his workshop. and
fell to very earnestly. Presently he
was aware of something behind him
something with bright eyes, He
looked up. There stood a smartly
dressed young lady. aged five or there
abouts. She was frankly Interested
IN what he was doing and met his
gaze without embarrassment.
do you mind II little girl looks
over your shoulder" she said.
Not II she is good little girl"
replied the artist politely-and went
on with his painting. 1t was some
time before he looked up again. The
young lady of FIVE was still there She
caught his eye and bent toward him
with an eager, coaxing smile.
What do the naughty little girls
say to you?" she whiBpered.--New
York Evening Post
