aro overstuffed and underfed. They bo

them at all, and servo only to destroy tho
digestive organs. Thoy eat at all times
tnd whatever they choose, and aro thereby
underfed even when gorged. It Is weil
known that only that food which is assim

nutrient or nourishing matter. 'I ho child
may havo far too little of this when con

allowed to overtax tho brain. Tho child

In need of laws forbidding tho overbrain
tasking of children than of laws forbid
ding their employment under 12 in facto
ries and for undue hours. Wo shall
shortly como to seo that our educating
process neud.saieguaixis lor ino children
instructed to It.
It will bo well when wo como to Her
bert Spencer's Idea that real education
shows "in what way to treat tho body; in
what wax to treat tho mind; in what way
to manage our affairs; in what way to
utilize all the sources of happiness which
naturo supplies; how to uuo all our facul
ties to tho greatest advantago to our
selves ami lo others; how to live com
pletely." In all these respects tho rights
of children etend, and if tho state, is
right in intertering at all to sccuro com
mon education it is obligated to interfere
to tho extent that will secure for tho
child all that atruo education involves.
Does our prest it system cover tho case,
or oven pretend or purpose, to cover it?
Take, for instance, the ono item, "How
to treat tho body." Is it not a fact that
99 out of 10U cht'ldren aro left to find out
whatever they do iind out about tho body
and how to u.-o it by stumbling upon facts
through bitter eip'erieuco of diseaso and

A UI.OOD CUKUl.INO WAY.
On the mountain trail this distinct
species of mule was never known to fall,
although ho has an exasperating and
blood curdling way of stumbling along
over it that would raise tho hair on end
of a li'ilil he.-uleil mmv Mrmv n time I
have watched the mule I was compelled
to rido with a view of discovering his
methods of trying to scare ino to death,
as payment for past injuries. Often
times the trail would lead past dizzy
heights or cliffs, whero ono could look
sheer down far enough to bo deadjbeforo
ho reached the bottom should ho fall,
and every few feet along tho trail, of a
foot to a foot and a half in width, it
would have tumbled in a foot or so and
again taken up the original inclination
of the mountain, or about that of the
leaning tower of Pisa. Here tho initio
would always bo sure to stick ono foot
and stumble a little bit, but always re
gain its equilibrium at tho next step,
having clearly done it intentionally, and
for no other purpose than pure cussed
ness. One can-imagine tho cool Alpino
zephyr that is wafted up tho dorsal
verlebno with sufficient forco to blow
tho hair straight up on end.
If you have touched tho beast during
tho last throe or four days with tho whip
or dug into its sides with thu spurs when
it was absorbed in melancholy rellec-
tions. it will bo suro to remember it when
......
you aro climbing over the comb of a cliff i
D.OOO feet high, and nt the least move-!
incut of your feet or twitching of your
fingers it will throw its head high in tho !
air like a hound on the scent and go
stumbling over every pebble and bladoof
grass on the dangerous wav, evidently
trying to make you regret that you had
tried to punish so delicate n creature. At
punish
any other time you can turn double
somersaults on its back, or act liko n rav
ing maniac, and it will not increase its
funereal march a foot a day as a result
of your actions. Whenever a trail leads
exceptionally near a cliff, boforo it turns
on the reverse grade down or up hill, the
Mexican mule never fails to go within an
inch of tho crest and let a hind leg over
with a slight quiver as it turns around
ah ineso ni(
Ml these mountain trailsaro full of little. I
round, nam
stones about tho size of mar-
bles and larger, hidden underneath a car
peting of pino needles. Theso aro liable
to make n mule stumblo if two feet aro
on stones at once; but this is very rare,
although they always go sliding over
them on the steeper trails.
It is wonderful how theso rotund rocks,
hidden under tho pino needles on tho
trail or oil of it, will throw a human be
ing prostrato if ho dismounts u few iiiin
utes to take a walk on a sloponnd stretch
his stiffened limbs. Of courso tho mule,
under headway, walks over them boforo
it can stop. Hobnails in shoes, nor
anything of man's make, help to avoid
them.
A PLEASANT PASTIME.
There is another pastimo in which tho
Mexican mulo delights, and in which
you won't. It likes to doviate enough to
go under overy low blanched treo on the
trail, and so universal is this trait of
character that the trail seems to lead
from ono low treo or vino to another,
just as the mules seem n mind to mako
it. The dodging of limbs and branches
among the pines, cypresses and oaks in
tho highlands was not so bad, but down

vines were tearing crescents out of your

Tho Charm of a Sweet Voire,
I met tho other day one of tho most
fashionable women in the city, and tho
thing about her that charmed mo most
was her perfectly trained voice. It was
low and melodious, never raised abovo a
certain pitch, but her enunciation was
perfectly clear. A sweet, low voico is
one of the most boduelivo charms iu a
woman, and yet how seldom ono is
found. Tho majority of women do not
seem to realize this, and one's ears aro
constantly being tortured by tho sound
of loud, shrill voices. At a restau
rant where I frequently (lino comes
! very often a pretty young woman with
her mother, and when I see her coming
I want to go She .has a high pitched,
cracked, old woman's voice, that takes
away my appetito and sets my nerves on
edgo. At a recent afternoon reception
n handsome lady entered and began to
talk. As soon as sliu began overy ono
elso stopped and listened, for her voico
was so loud and harsh that it drowned
every other She was clever, and what
she said was worth listening to, but it
was torture to the sensitive ear. Tho
spell of a beautiful face is often broken
by a harsh, uncultivated voice, while
a sweet voice almost makes a plain face
pretty I would turn round iu a crowd
to discover the owner of an attractive
voice, but I would not (urn round iu the
street to c:.tch a second glimpse of a
pretty face Pretty faces aro common
enough, one sees them everywhere, but
n thoroughly rcliucd, cultivated and
sweetly modulated voice is indeed rare.

It's sometimes said patent
medicines are for the igno
rant. The doctors foster this
idea.
" The people," we're told,
" are mostly ignorant when it
comes to medical science."

fails to do crood.

the doctors' pardon. It
wouldn't do ! )
