For Dosing Oneself
A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring He says
that it is an excellent thing several
times a clay to take as much of the salts
as may be put on a cent in a little wa
ter That will sweeten the stomach
and act as a very desirable spring
medicine He also speaks highly of
1 soda having no patience with those
timid peopie who have an idea that it
is a dangerous dose doing some vague
1 harm to the coating of the intestines
Why everything we eat almost has
soda in it he cnied in disdain It is
an admirable thing to take half ro
chelle salts and half bicarbonate of
soda as directed several times a day
I know of few gentler and still more
beneficent general medicines
A Poisonous
People in general look upon all spe
cies of the frog as being perfectly
harmless Should you be traveling in
New Granada United States of Colom
bia however you would do well to
let a certain little tree croaker severe
ly alone He secretes a poison equally
as deadly as that of the rattlesnake
It exudes from his skin in the shape of
a milky liquid and is used by the na
tives as a poison for their arrows
Write ns Yon Feel
If you would write to any purpose
you must bs perfectly free from with
in Give yourself the natural rein
think on no pattern no patron no pa
per no press no public think on noth
ing but follow your impulses Give
yourself as you are what you are and
how you see it Every man sees with
his own eyes or does not see at all

not become a short

to the question whether Mr Hamilton

in 1S9G Mr Bliss has been promi

Owing to his simple way of dressing
Mr Hardie was once placed in an awk

LILLIAN- nordica mg Brunehild in

Mme Nordica once sang at a concert
in a town in Texas Among the crowd
in the concert room was a cowboy
who during the evening sat spellbound
as he listened to Nordicas notes When
her last song was finished and she was
wrapping up to return to her lodging
it was discovered that her overshoes

was based on this statement Those
who have never taught must take ex
amination in all branches required
for the certificate desired Such per
sons who have a two years high
school education or its equivalent
and who attend a summer school ap
proved by the state superintendent
at least six weeks doing at least
thirty days actual school work will
be required to take an examination in
all branches required for the certifi
cate desired except in the five essen
tials Upon attendance at an ap
proved summer school at least six
weeks such teachers will be required
to take examination in Reading and
one other of the five essentials at
their selection with the advice and
consent of the county superintendent
of the proper county Six weeks or
more attendance at such school and
creditable work done this summer
in the other three of the five essen
tials approved by the county super
intendent will be taken in lieu of
an examination in these three essen
tials
It is recommended that county su
perintendents so far as possible vis
it the various summer schools where
their teachers may attend in order
that the work done by the instructors
as well as the teachers may be prop
erly inspected before official approval
is given at which time also the coun
tv superintendent may decide in
which of the five essentials his
teachers must take the regular exam
ination We also recommend that
the various summer schools make our
outlines on the five essentials and
the other subjects as given in our
circular of October 12 the basis of
the summer work
We urge upon all summer schools
to have a sufficient number of in
structors in order that classes will
not be so large as to make thorough
work impossible
