LEMON REDUCTION CURE.

she had substituted lemonade not only

cor ordinary drinking water.
There is no doubt that the lemon

now Il has been discovered that the

REFL LECTION OF THE TEACHER

a number Of essays submitted for a
prize by pupils Of the country schools
Of a certain district, and found we
could assert these essays and with
d degree Of certainty gather them
into shcaveS, each sheaf from an eS-

written the essays; they had simply
impressed themselves strongly upon
the plastic minds Of the children.
The mind Of the child is a tablet
Of wax upon which impressions are
most easily engraved. With heredity

present successfully cope, yet with
childhood much may be done. The

NEW YORK, March 3-snow
which had ceased for a few bonra
during the night, began falling again
yesterday. The gale formed big
drifts in the country district, o,a
au"ed TO the troubles OF the railroads.
NOT III % years had Greater New
YORK and envirOns experienced such
storm. At times the velocity of the
wind had reached "a miles an hour.
Elsht deaths were reported here.
Streets and sidewalks are covered
with an icy coating, making walking
oll'Ncuit and dangerous and vehicular
traffic is almost impossible.
Scores of Trains Lost.
NO milk trains reached the city
during the forenoon. or 25 vessels
due at the port Of New York yester-
day only one, the Delaware, of the
Clyde line, from Philadelphia, had re-
ported before noon.
All trains to and from the west and
south were subject to indefinite de-
lay. Communication trains came In
laboriously, hauled by two engines.
Trains on the New York Central lines
Jared but little better than ON other
roads. Points upstate could not be
reached by wire early yesterday. and
the whereabouts Of several incoming
mail and passenger trains could not
be learned Among other trains re-
ported lost was the Twentieth Cen
fury Limited. Between Peekskill and
Cold Springs, distance of about II
miles, 80 broken telegraph poles are
down. Albany and Buffalo were out
OF communication and New York
Central trains between those points
were reported lost.
Hundreds of Factories Closed
The Pennsylvania station was
crowded with travellers who got no
encouragement from the information
bureau. The officers Of the road said
conditions would not improve until
the storm abated. Several way trains
were started south from Jersey City,
under orders to make what progress
they could. Announcement was made
at noon that all trains on the Cen
trail Railroad Of New Jersey and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, be-
tween New York and Philadelphia and
Washington had been abandoned un-
til further notice.
In the city cars, wagons and auto
mobiles we're stalled everywhere, de-
serted by their drivers. Suburban
towns were without electric lights,
falling wires having made 1t neces-
sary to cut off the current.
Autos Deserted In Broadway.
On the elevated lines In Manhat-
tan, the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn
trains were kept running moro fre-
qnently than usual to prevent the
drifts on the structures from rising
too high. In Broadway automobiles:
were left in snowbanks by their chauf-
feurs. Horses were removed fronn
trucks and wagons.
