Maybe that’s what's the matter with the schools. I've been keeping cases on a kid layout this sum- mer, and you can search mé@ for @ conviction that the schools are not what they usefi to de. “When I went to school !t was school, you can bet a can- celled revenue stamp against @ punch in the eye. The kids were taught to respect their elders and doff their bonnets te the wisdom of age. A boy broke the rules was batted on the palms of his mitts with a heavy ruler or else hustled to the principal, who laid hit across, face down, and smote him on the nearest portion of his body with a rawhide whip. Every time I see a man of about my age getting up fa a street car and giving his seat to a lady or an old man I make up my mind that in the days when he thought he knew it all some enfrgetic schoo! teacher has convinced him otherwise with a club, ‘ “Nowadays it is different. If a teacher talks above a whisper to a pupil she gets called down so hard it jars the French heels off her shoes, Instead of the people who draw salaries for runing things doing the running the pupils hold the controving hand. It was a sad day for the chil- Gren when they abolished corporal punishment in the schools. “They used to grind reading, writing, arithmetic and the other commrn studies into us until we were letter perfect in our part. Nowadays they teach the kids to bulld bridges out of metchss and how to make a cozy corner out of a piece of 91d awning and a dry goods box.

There was a bunch ranging from seven to four- fen years in age and from thirty-five to oné-hundred and eighteen: in knowledge. They argued with thelr parents, /utted Into “conversations with strangers and generally ran the place. These same parents were nice people, ang with the right kind of school training they could have controlled their offspring, but, under the present conditions, they have to stand being called down, “I have plenty of chance to observe office boys. butt in after getting out of school—some out of high school.

But scarcely any of them can atite a legible hand and they spell by main force. “Bome time ago I happened to look over many hundred Jetters written by school children. The grammar would dis- grace a man learning a new language, and the spelling Was go uniformly on the bum as to suggest that Instead of tegch- ing the children how to spell the schools teach thcin how not to spell. “There is too much giving the glad hand to schoo! chil- fren, too much theory about handling them In their pre- liminary life gallops.

HOW LONG MOSQUITOES LIVE. It ts not known Just how long mosquitoes can lve, but their average life is¢ uch longer than ts ordinarily supposed. “Thousands of them lve through winter, hibernating or asleep in dark placus in barns or house cellars, In sparsely settled localities, where they cannot find such places for shelter, they Mve through the winter in hollow trees, in caves and holes under upturned trees, and even though the temperature may fall far below freesing, they are not winter killed; but on the approach of warm weather become active again, says the Popular Science Monthly. Mosquitoes are frequently seen flying about In the woods before the .enqw, “ag wholly left the ground. ARMY EMERGENCY RATION. Every soldier in the British army carries in his haversack chat is known as the “emergency ration.” This consists of { amall tin cylinder, similar to a pocket spirit-flask, divided nto two compartments.

Did you ever try the exercise of making bread? You knead it! And while It 1s in process of baking inending can be done. Then there's the kitchen to be scrubbed. That is really fine training., In serubbing the position 18 one of the first that nature dictates for the development of the body; the same as in creeping. It is much the same as the position In swimming. For the holding up of the head, the neck, shoulders, back and arms !t is the same, as it !s also for the flexing of the knees. The leg mo- tion ia, of course, absent, but leg ex- ercine is the easiest of all to obtain in a short time One bas but to run up and down etatrs half @ dozen times and the leg motion of tennis, swim- ming, &c., 1s equalled, if not excelled. Several conditions must be observed in this exercise to male it perfectly healthful, The shoulders must be thrown back, the inhalations of breath must be deep, and the mouth must remain closed. In fact, the secret of defying competition in running and climbing es in keeping the mouth closed, simply because It forces deep breathing and compete the use of the diaphragm, A good plan is to fill the lungs with .'- and hold the breath until the top ® reached, then expel slowly. The clothing must be com- fortably toose, Thursday may be made the midweek rest day, a day on which diverstons will be doubly relished. Then comes house- cleaning day, when the hardwood floors athletic exercise for women merely an affectation, a delusion and a snare? Is it a pretext for the don- ning of smart clothes, an excuse for coquettish posing with a background of follage, or for conectous silhouetting against a blue expanse of sky? Is all this golfing, and tennis, and rowing, and walking and swimming, &c., @ sham pure and simple? Does the athietic girl really love the effect of the exercise—or just its effectivences? ‘All of the popular eamea can be paral- leled by exercise at home.

Such may be the case in Hast, but I first heard it while in Denver about three yeart ago. A Col. Ben Block, thén on the staff of Gov. acctised his superior officer, Gen, Overmeyer, Of several (ractions cf the military code at a formal court-martial trial, The Colonel at that time (himself a newspaper man) told the reporters that the General was “too chesty” in hls gokl Ince and new uniform. ‘When Gov. Thomas went out of office he was succeeded by Gov, Orman, who honored Col, Block with a reappointment. Gov. Peabody su Gor. Orman, and the Denver Post about three months ago made ‘a comparison between the staff of Gov. Orman and thet of* Gov, Péndody, and in the article it stated “that Col. ie was as ‘“chesty as any of them.” The word chesty, be Heve, fs of distinctly Western origin and should be so “eat alogued.” JAS.
