Witness told her that he couldn't have anything to do a case between a lady and a Senator; that he had just closed a case between a young lady and a Senator, and had another between a mar- ried lady and a Senator, and he must be excus- ed from taking another case of the kind. She then went onto say that the Senator was of it wealth; that he had secured her a place the ent, and intimacy had sprang up ‘between ; Unat the lady was single and the Senator had lately lost his wife.

Yet I am advised that this ts the average attendance in many other localities. If a teacher is worthy of her emptoyment, she should be more than a mere machine; she should be capable of explaining every lesson so that even tne dullest scholar could understand it. This, of course would take time, and in order todo it thoroughly, examine the copy- books, the compositions, te exercise-book: and have the necessary recitations, no teacher should be expected to attend to more than 20 or 40 pupils at one session. Dothe trustees ever think what amount of tuition is given to each pupil wien they crowd 70 scholars Into a Single class? Let us su; there are only four studies fora class of that size. If equal time were given to each of the studies, and the school days six hours Jong, can it not readily be shown that a scholar receives eaca day but a trifle over one minute's attention in each branch? J, for one, am willing to co-operate with the teachers, because I have considerable interest in my child’s welfare; but T do not wish to do a// the teaching and have the teach- er’s time so engaged that all she 1s able to do Is virtually to examine whether my mode of tn- struction has any good results.

It has proved, indisputably, that the system of administering medicines internally as acure for disease is, as a rule, pernicious. Thou- sands upon thousands are dosed to death yearly, willing victims, from the mistaken opinion that na- ture calls for some powerful dose to be taken into the stomach before she can succeed in bringing about a healthy action, and thus enable the various organs to perform their proper functions. It is a shark of progress and a matter of rejoicing that this remedy, which illustrates a principle as old as Hip pocrater, is being so generally ueed and recom- mended. THE HOLMAN LIVER PAD COMPANY'S rem. edies, which are the sole exponents of the Cure by ABSORPTION as opposed to Dostna, have been Proved the cheapest and Must Efectwal Remedy for all Diseases Arising from Malaria or a Disordered Stomach or Liver, and it is 3 well-known fact that nearly all the diseases that attack tne human body can be traced, directly or indirectly, to these two organs. The Pan ezerts a Prompt and Specific Influence | upon the System, and Removes the Poisonous Germs which Paralize its Action, and Restores a Normal Condition of Heaithina Manner Absolutely Won dersul. It is known by actual experience that there is no disease that attacks the youth or adult of both sexes that can even be modisied by the use of drug, but that can be acted on in s far more satisfactory and permanent manner by the HoumaN LivER Pab Co.'s REMEDIES.
