The Second
Spelling Contest

Following is the result Uf the
second spelling contest in this
county. In these contests we are
not following the plan of the book
to the letter for there are some
schools that have been running all
] a and Winter, others have been
running for three or four months
and some have just begun. If con-
ditions were right it would be bet
ter to have all the pupils spell the
same words that is On the same
page of the book. but we take
things as we find them. and have
the pupils in the different schools
spell a list of fifty words. This
list is taken from the words studied
during the asst two months. The
next contest will be spelled May
18th, and we hope to have every
teacher who is then teaching report
the result Of their school.
Look the following grades over
and see what they are doing in your
district.

Nightmare.

A nightmare is very vivid and
dissgreeable dream, in which the
sleeper finds himself in various ter
rifying situations from which there
is no escape. When the sufferers
fright reaches a climax, he awakcns
suddenly; sometimes he is aroused
by his own efforts 10 scream for help.
A bad form of nightmare occurs in
young children; it is called might
terror" The child awakes sudden
ly from deep sleep, painting. wide
eyed, screaming but inarticulate,
and clings frantically to anyone who
goes to the bedside. Such attacks
are most common in children be.
tween four and eight years old, but
they may occur at any age.
When grown-ap people have
nightmare, 1t is generelly owing to
indiscretions In diet, such as mince
pie or lobster eaten late at night.
Many persons have to be very care
full about what they eat for supper,
and can never safely 60 to sleep
lying fiat on the back.
One characteristic of nightmare
is the startling reality of it. 1t lacks
the misty vagueness of pleasant
dreams, and has. while it lasts, all
the sharp outline of an actual occur
renee. Therefore it is important
that young children should be wise
ly and gently handled when they
suffer from night terroIs. Do not
scold them, or laugh at them, or
argue with them. They have suffer
ed a real shock with a consequent
loss of nervous force. Until the
paroxysm has spent itself, do not
leave a child who has suffered in this
way alone.
Sometimes, in older children,
nightmare accompanies overpressure
at school, and tendency to it disap-
pears In the holidays. In such cases
tighten the pressure of work as much
as possible, make the evening meal
light and digestlble, and skeep the
child from excitement during the
few hours before bedtime.

Good roads are matter of good

The best material for filling a mud

The sort of drag you use doesn't
make so much difference; anything
you can hitch team to will make
the roads better, if you have a man
to drive il.
Let the man alone who won't drag
his road. He has his reward-the
neighbors sneer at him, his doctor
throws it up to him, and once in
awhile an unrghteous travelling man
cusses him.
The more a road is rounded. up In
the middle, the better 1t will stand
up through wet spell.
Nine times out of ten a man
doesn't drag his road for fear some
one he doesn't like will get the bene
fit of it.
You can't poison hog, and some
men wont take the good roads fever.
Some people want their corn shell
