WHAT SCHOOL TEXT-BOOKS ON TEM
PERANCE PHYSIOLOGY SHOULD TEACH.
An effort has been made in the
piper* pieceding this to show the
qualitv ot temperance teaching which
text-books on the subject should con
tain; one of the objects of the present
one is to show the quantity which is
requisite.
The movement which secured the
laws rt quiring this instruction was
no: a physiological but a temperance
movement. To enforce the teaching
of physiology was never contempla
ted. "it had already a place in the
curriculum of advanced grades in
public schools and was taught from
books more or less technical, to pupils
of suitable age. But the nature and
effects of alcoholic drinks cannot be
taught without some physiology, and
the law requires that "all pupils in
►.ll departments of the public schools"
shall receive this instruction. The
wisdom of this requirement is appar
ent when we remember that fifty per
cent of all the children who attend
the public schools never get beyond
the primary grades. It is doubly
necessary to have the teaching in
those grades. Beside this, the uu
fortunate hereditary tendencies and
evil surroundings of
of children make the warning neces
sary at the earliest age. Among in
stances which could be quoted in sup
port of this, the writer remembers
one related by the principal of a
school in a country town, of a little
boy of five who was an inveterate
user of tobacco.
Scientific truth loses none of its
value if put in easy words; the phys
iology therefore, which conveys tem
perance instruction to primary and in
termediate grades, should be of the
simplest form, and adapted to their
capacity as the modern readers are.
As the law's requirement for all pu
pils is "that physiology and hygiene,
which shall, in each division of the
subject so pursued, include special
reference to the effects of »lcoboiic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics upon
the human system," shall be taught,
it is evident that a book which is
mainly physiology does not fulfill it,
but many such are used, and the lit
tle children in the primary grade are
being wearied with the study of the
technical names of the various parts
of their bodies, instead of the simple
warning teaching which they should
receive.
Of the many unsuitable books thus
used the following will ser?e as ex
amples:
How to Keep Well, by Alfred F.
Blaisdell, M. D., a book for the lower
grade of schools. The space given in
this to the teaching for which the
law was secured is a little more than
one-thirteenth. In Our Bodies and
How We Live, an elementary text
book by the same author, less than
one-twelfth. In the "Primer of
Physiology aud Hygiene" by Dr.
Smith, about one-twelfth. In the
"Human Body and its Health" by
the same author, only one-fourteenth.
In "First Lessons in Physiology and
Hygiene" by Dr. Mills, about one
eleventh of the space is given. In
order to properly present the snbject
not less than one-fourth ought to
have been devoted to it; and in books
for high echools not less than twenty
pages.
These books, like many others of
their kind, speak of the "excessive"
nse and the "abuse" of alcohol and of
tobacco; and the results of "over in
dulgence" (pee Our Bodies and How
We Live), but 'tie warning against
beginning the use of tbese things—
against taking a little ulcohol in wine,
beer, or cider, because of its tendency
to create a craving for more, is want
ing.
Temperance, in the light of modern
science, is the moderate use of things
harmless, and the total avoidance of
those which are hurtful. The known
facts concerning the natu-»of alcohol
makes total abstinence leaching the
ouly correct teaching. In their nat
ural baste to supply the market cre
ated by the newly enacted laws, to
suit the popular taste, and to fulfill
the idea of temperance then entertain
ed by most school boards, a number
of publishers some years ago issued
such books as the above. Since then,
owing to much discussion of the sub
ject, the popular taste has made such
an advance that the more prominent
of these publishers are now, to the
certain knowledge of the writer tak
ing steps have their books revised
to the standards which were from the
outset, maintained as correct by the
Scientific Department of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
By the law of Pennsylvania school
text books can be changed an often as
once in three years. Those on tem
perance physiology now in use were
adopted in June 1885; an opportunity
is therefore at hand to substitne bet
ter books—either those which already
reach the correct standard, or else
the revised works soon to appear—
for the defective ones now in use in
so many schools.
Parents, teachers,and school boards
who desire that the trnth ou this im
portant subject shall be taught to the
children under their charge should
give this their immediate and earnest
attention.

How He Advertised.
A gentleman, living in a city in
the West, had inherited consumption,
and the doctor told him he must die.
He stopped taking their weakening
phytic and tried Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. ID three months
be was strong and well. The gentle
man's neighbors knew bow sickly be
formerly was, and asked him to state
iu public how be had been cured. He
advertised to lecture on a certain
evening, in the public hall, and there
was a large audience present. This
was his lecture: A picture of him
self, before, and one after, he tried the
remedy, a:id five empty bottles of
I)r. Pierre's Golden Medical Discov
ery. He said nothing, but convinced
his audience just the same. '
It outrivals all—Dr. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy.
- —The only failure that a man

A Jolly Judge.
T. X. J. in the Harrisburg Tele
graph tells some stories of a former
judge of this State as follow?:
j This same judge wa? a convivial
cuss and occasionally he got full as a
goat aad appeared on the bench in
that condition. Once when he was,
to use the language of the street,
"drunker than a boiled owl," he took
bia aeat on the bench and bade the
clerk "Call the next case." It hap
! pened to be a very importaut case,
and the lawyers saw that it would
i never do to try it with tho judge in
I that condition. They saw that he
j \ytLS totally oblivious to hissurround
j iogs, so they organized a burlesque
trial and went along with it very sol
emnly. Mock plaintiff and mock de
fendants were in the trial, aad the
witnesses were sworn on a blank
book "not to tell the truth, tho whole
truth nor nothing like the truth," and
mock arguments were made, and a
mock verdict rendered. It was a per
fect travestie, but the befuddled judge
thought that everything wa-3 lovely
and adjourned the court with a con
sciousness of duty well performed.
Then he went home and Blept off a
"big head." The next day, sober and
erect, he entered court, called a case
(the same tried in mockery the day
before) and tried it in great shape,
and he never knew that the day be
fore he had been making a guy of
himself. The matter was kept quiet,
but such funny little things will leak
out, and I picked it up.
Another time this judge was off his
kerba&e on the bench, and was in
clined to be hilarious. He was about
to adjourn the court, when the clerk
said.
"Your honor, there are some pris
oners to sentence."
"What? Prisoners to sentence?
Bring 'em in! Bring 'em in! I'll send
the whole blanked lwt to the peniten
tiary."
He was prevailed upon to postpone
the sentencing until the next day.
when none of the convicted men were
sent to the penitentiary, because they
were not guilty of crime that warrant
ed such puuishment.

—An old Chinese proverb says:
"Do not stop in a cueumbor field to
tie the shoe." The meaning is very
plain. Some one will be likely to
fancy that you are stalling fruit. Al
ways remember the injunction, "Ab
stain from all appearance of evil."
Do not stop under the saloou porch
to rest yourself, however shady the
trees may be, or however inviting the
chairs. Some one may faucy you are
a common lounger there, and so your
good na>de be tarnished. Don't go
to a liquor saloon to get a glass of
lemonade, however refreshing it may
seem to you. Rather bay your lem
ons and prepare the cooling beverage
at home, where others may share it
with you, probably at no greater ex
pense than your single glass would
cost you Somebody seeing you
drink at the bar, will be sure to tell
the story, and will not be particular
to state that you were drinking only
lemonade. Theu, too, if you are
careless about the appearance of evil,
you will soon grow equally careless
about the evil itself.

Remedy for Currant Worms.
Properly cultivated currant bushes
grow so luxuriantly am' produce such
a mass of large leaves that it is an
easy matter to prevent the currant
caterpillars from doing any serious
damage. The true remedy is pow
dered white hellebore, to be had from
druggists
On about 20,000 bushes last, year
we used forty pounds of hellebore.
This is at the rate of about an oane •
to thirty-two bushes. Every bu h
had a little hellebore, but if there was
no sign of worms only the slightest
shake of the box was given in pa-s
--ing. Some of the bushes where the
caterpillars hud commenced their
work oi destruction were carefully
dusted ail over. This takes more
time and more hellebore, but the cost
is nothing as compared with the ben
efit. For dusting oa the hellebore
we use an old biking powder tin b<>x,
Punch holes in the top largo eoot g i
to let the powder come through freely
sav about the size of a pin's head.
One of our neighbors, who has one
thousaud bushes, mixes two pouads
of flour with a pound of hellebore,
and he kept his bushes last year free
from caterpillars with less than a
pound of hellebore. It is better to
dust the bushes on a still morning
while the dew is on the leaves. Bui
the point of greatest importance is to
dust the bushes the first moment
there are any signs of the worms.
And the next thing is to keep a
close wat3b, and if any worms have
escaped or new ones hatched out, go
over the bushes again, and stick to it
till they are absolutely free from the
pest— American Agriculturist.
