There are curves also to right or left, but these are normally very slight. When they are so great as to be noticeable, they constitute the deformity called lateral curvature of the spine, or scoliosis. The curve usually begins, to form in childhood and increases very slowly, without pain, so that it often exists a considerable time without being discovered. discovered. The absence of pain has its unfortunate unfortunate side, since it is naturally in the, early stages, before the bones of the spine have changed their shape, that treatment is most successful. First of all, it is necessary to determine the cause, and remove it if possible, for the disease can never be cured while the cause continues to act. The curvature may be due to a wrong sitting position" in school--the result of bad lighting, defective eyesight, eyesight, or badly constructed desks ; to the carrying of heavy weights on one arm, as in the case of school children who take a dozen books home for study every day, or of the "little mothers" mothers" of the poor, who, themselves hardly more than infants, carry baby brothers and sisters round all day; or to the shortening of one leg, which throws the body to one side, and makes the child lean sidewise in order to keep erect. Other causes, such as disease of the lungs, which produces a falling of one side of the chest, have to be considered as affecting the results results of treatment, although they m^y be themselves incurable. The treatment of lateral curvature, if begun early, offers much hope of permanent improvement, but it must be systematic and persevering if it is to be successful. It consists chiefly chiefly of systematic exercises that twist the spine in a direction opposite to that of the abnormal curvature. They tend to make the spine elastic, and strengthen the muscles so that they are able to keep the body erect after it has been ' straightened.--Youth's Companion. Though Sick and Suffering; At Last Found Help in Lydia E. PinkhamV Vegetable Vegetable Compound, Richmond, Pa. -- " When I started taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health, had internal troubles, troubles, and was so extremely extremely nervous and prostrated that if I had given in to my feelings I would have been in bed. As it was I had hardly strength at times to be on my feet and what I did do was by a great •effort. I could not sleep at night and of course felt very bad in the morning, end had a steady headache. "After taking the second bottle I noticed noticed that the headache was not so bad, I rested better, and my nerves were stronger.' I continued its use until it made a new woman of me, and now I can hardly realize that I am able to do so much as I do. Whenever I know any woman in need of a good medicine I highly praise Lydia E.

The-lesson from it all--a lesson every parent and every- prospective parent should lay well to heart---is to strive to prevent undue strain of the nerves in the young--to seek their conservation and healthy balance in adult life. Children should not be unduly pressed, with an eye to examinations. examinations. Better almost for them to be idle--Goldsmith was a dunce at school, and so have been many other distinguished men. Even Gladstone, I think, took no.prize at school. But of course moderate industry should be encouraged. Then for the adult---well, few of us can escape worry and trouble. But we can commonly go early to bed -- much earlier at any rate than we do --andr give ourselves the proper allowance allowance of sound refreshing sleep. Also we can avoid excess in tea--a sin to which women are specially prone ; or ditto in alcohol, the besetting sin of many men. We can make up our njinds not to- worry unnecessarily over trifles--qver things which are not trivial also to a large extent. We can strive to secure wholesome food, cleanly living and fresh air in abundance. abundance. If we should actually get run down and become "neurasthenic" the best tonic will be 5 drops of liquor strychnine strychnine in two tablespoonfuls of water twice a day, an hour before meals. And a valuable addition will be a cold sponge or shower bath every morn- ng when we get out of bed.--A Physician.

Murray may be said to have reared his own monument in that prodigious achievement of the lexicographer's art, the. New English Dictionary, the last volume of which was almost ready to go to the press when he died. A task of vaster scope in "all the long history of the cult of words was'surely never undertaken, says The Boston Herald. Here was a richly endowed scholar who gave 86 years of his life to the search for spellings, m.eanings,. derivations and pronunciations that ran, back to the beginnings of English literature. He had his volunteer assistants in every Anglo-Saxon country--several thousands thousands of them--and 5,000 authors of all periods were consulted to. supply him with -material. At the time his work had to be left for completion to others the stock of quotations accumulated accumulated numbered 6,000,000, all written written on slips of paper that turned the scale at- six tons. And out of tills industry industry and this scholarship comes a dictionary of about 300,000 words. How much of it will fit into everyday everyday use? A go^d many of the 300,- 000 ar„e long obsolete; even of those still in good striding how many do we really need ? Shakespeare captured captured his world audience with about 16,000, and Milton wrote himself into fame with 8,000. It is estimated that the average literary man of to-day uses 4,000, and the "man in the street" not over 2,000. The English country yokels of "slow, bovine gaze" whom George Eliot describes have probably 800 to their credit; the peasants peasants in certain sections of continental continental Europe are known to live the bucolic bucolic life on a vocabulary of about 100 words by actual count. And yet the people who will nibble thus sparingly at Sir James Murray's great encyclopedia of our language are the very people who dictate dic-^ tionaries and supersede them by usage even while they are in the making. making. It is they who have rendered possible this priceless record of our Anglo-Saxon tongue; it is they, too, who in the years to come will call for fresh surveys of our everliving and everchanging speech. We shall need a New English Dictionary long before before Americans have begun to spell phonetically and dub themselves "Usonians." * THe Kind.

Getting It Straight. Husband--You spend altogether too much money. Wife--Not at all! The trouble is you don't make enough. ** Armageddon, according to the Revelation Revelation of St. John, is thq great battle battle in which the last conflict between good and evil is to be fought. Can you tell fortunes in teacups? Perhaps you are one of those who, while laughing to scorn the mysteries therein, are always eager to know what Fate holds for you. Anyhow, you will find a wonderful amount of fun and not a little prophecy prophecy in following these rujes for reading the contents of the teacup. First of all, take the cup in your left hand and shake it carefully to mix up the dregs, then place it upside upside down in the saucer, and move it right round three times. Now forecast. forecast. If a little string of tea leaves runs right around the cup, it means a journey. journey. An anchor is a fine omen--it stands for hope and good luck. If it is near the top of the cup, it may mean a sea-voyage; and if that most popular symbol of all, a ring, be near it, a honeymoon may be mixed up with the voyage. All women look for a ring in the teacup. It may" be a tiny circle of tea leaves or grounds, it may be just tiny spikes forming a circle, or it may be a single curled leaf. Should this ring come near the top' of the cup, a marriage is very near; but if it is at the bottom, the wedding will not be so soon. Much merriment can be caused if the ring is discovered in the hup of a married person, by forecasting a second marriage--of course, in the far-away future. Good luck is always predicted by the clover leaf and thé horseshoe ; flowers denote success; a cross forecasts forecasts sorrow; an umbrella foretells a storm ; fruit means health ; while little yellow particles in the bottom of the cup are a sure indication of mo ney. Beware of an enemy if a snake lies in the bottom of the cup; but take comfort in a good friend if a horse or a dog is depicted near the snake. Deceit Deceit is about when a cat is shown. Hasty tidings, probably a telegram, are foretold by a galloping horse", but they are not necessarily bad, and tho luck is decidedly good if the horse has a rider. Much depends upon the interpreter of teacup fortunes. A clever girl can create quite a little air of mystery round her fortune-telling, and make a lot of harmless fun and conjecture on a dull afternoon. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
