K!ii Youujj Chllilrnn Out of Srliool.
The writer in the .louriml of Edu

usually sent to school at too early an
age. "Llttlo children four or flvo
years old should be out of doors nearly
all their waking hours, developing
Htrong bodies, sturdy constitutions,
and incidentally brain power, so
when they cuter the-schoolroom they
will have, gained power to learn easily,
which is reached only after the ehlid
lias arrived at a certain stage of its
development."

territory of Indiana, it included thu
territory which became afterwards
the three states mentioned above.

FOR A WINTER'S CAMPAIGN.

London, April 10. Rritons are now
beginning, though reluctantly, to re
alize that Lord Roberts !s in for a
winter campaign, lasting several
months. This is the end, in a few
words, of the high hopes based upon
Lord Roberts' brilliant dash to lum
ber Icy and Rlocinfoutein.
Preparations are being made to hold
Rlocinfoutein against surprises. Lord
Kitchener lias been given an impor
tant duty, being responsible for the
protection of the. railway, while Lord
Roberts is waiting for remounts and
winter clothing for the troops whose
thin cotton khaki uniforms and boots
are worn out.
What the chances are of an advance
to Pretoria may be judged from the
fact that, only from 0,000 to 10,000
horses are on their way to the Cape,
and from the further fact that the
military tuiloring departments only
within the last, threu weeks bcfjan
making woolen khaki uniforms. It
is said it will take at least, two months
to provide 200,000 uniforms.

ing party near. This man guided the

Preparation or Arrowroot.
Tt is true that in Ireland, with thu
spread of general knowledge and im
proved medical ai 1, "cures" and super
stitions are on the wane, but still
"the mistress' bottle" is much pre

value than that of an M. 1). Apart
from the medical knowledge required,
it is no light matter to undertake to
