THE DAILY EXAMINER.

MAY 14, 1887.

Av a late lecture given before the Nine- teenth Century Club, by an eminent physician of New York, he criticized the ordinary methods of study in schools :

** He told of a little girl brought to him one day afflicted with St. Vitus’ dance. She had been to schvol and in her book bag she had an English grammar, an arithmetic, a geography, a history of the United States, an astronomy, a temperance physiology and hygiene, a French gramnar,

These subjects she was expected to master at home in six and a half hours, if she gave the needed time to sleep, to eat, to dress- ing and recreation.

in such cases the child spends her brain eapital, not her brain income. Many a girl and boy have been driven out of this life, many more have been well nigh ruined, mentally or physically, by the cramming process. Mothers! do not allow it! Remember that at seven years of age the brain is larger in proportion to the body than is the brain of an adult. During the first eight or ten years the child should learn svlely through its senses. Let the intuitions have a chance; do not let the brain be overtaxed any more than the body. Some one has well said ; ** Memory is not knew- ledge. Because children recite well dves not mean that they understand. They recite by rote. So do parrots. Such cultivation of memory weakens the brain powers. How much better it would be if we had more objective teaching. What idea can a child get from Dr. Johnsun’s definition of ‘net- work—‘a reticulated structure with inter- stices between the intersections!’ There is too much cramming inthe schools in spite of all the teaching against it. I confess to a strong sympathy with the intelligent truant. ” The Best Modes of Preventing

Chills and Colds.

ist. How to act in cold weather. —When @ person goes into the open air, every time he draws in his breath the cold air. passes through his nostrils and windpipe into the lungs, and thus reduces the heat of these parts. As long as he continues in the open air he feels no bad effects from it; but on returning home and approaching the fire jto warm himself, and taking probably some comfortable drink by way of keeping out the cold as the expression goes, he will at first feela glow within his nostrils . and breast as well as over the whole surface of the body; but soon after a disagreeable dryness and huskiness will be felt in the nostrils and breast, afterwards a short, dry, tickling cough comes on; shivering follows; he draws closer to the fire, but to no ‘pur- pose; he feels more chilly the more he at- tempts to warm himself. In this case all the mischief is occasioned by the violent action of the heat.

2nd. Preventive measures.—Our _ re- marks as to these shall be brief. Most people know that when any part of the body is ‘‘frost-bitten,” if the part affected be exposed to the heat of a fire mortifica- tion is the almost certain consequence, whereas if the part be rubbed with snow now bad consequences will follow. This seems very remarkable, but it is strictly

true; and it arises from avoiding the sud- |

den and violent action ot heat upon the part affected by exposure to cold. Upon the same principle, is founded the means of effectually preventing a cold or chill. On coming out of a very cold atmosphere. take care not to go at first imte a room with a fire in it; but if this is impossible keep at a distance from the fire till the sensation of cold is somewhat abated; above all, refrain from drinking warm 01 strong hiquors when you are cold. In a word, strictly observe the following rules: When the whole body or any part of it is chilled, bring it to its natural feeling and warmth by degrees. By carefully attend- ing to this advice, which is founded on the two great sources of sound knowledge— observation and experience—the severe colds we. often experience in winter may be prevented. On the subject of prevent- ing chills or obviating the danger of cateh- mg colds, we shal] only further add that the daily use of the flesh-brush to the threat, neck and breast, and sponging the whole body with cold or tepid water every morning on first getting out of bed, will in avery great measure diminish suscepti- bility to catch cold. The celebrated Sir Astley Cooper, than whom nv _ higher fauthority can be cited on the subject, makes the following remark: **The methods by which I preserve my own health are temperanee, early rising, and sponging the body every morning with cold water im- mediately after getting out of bed—a prac- tfee which I have adopted for thirty years; and although I go from the hot theatre in- to the squares of the hospital on the se- verest winter nights with merely silk stock- ings on my legs, [ scarcely ever have a cold.

The Medicinal Properties of Gly cerine are of the most striking kind, but it is not valuable in pharmacy only. Its antisceptic properties are marvellous. It is capable of preserving animal substancesfrom decay. Leather is preserved by it in a soft and pliable condition. Wooden vessels saturated w.th it neither shrink nor dry up. It is used for extracting the odour of flowers, and is of great value in the processes of dying, brewing, liquor and making and wind keeping. Its power in healing and remove ing pains, such as ear ache, 1s wonderful. With nitric acid it forms nitro-glycerine, a substance the explosive force of which is

| A Boy's Terrible Experience. ede LOST IN THE WOODS, ONE DIES OF FATIGUE

AND EXPOSURE } THE OTHEE BARELY Es- | CAPES WITH HIS LIFE.

| Some days ago we published the facts of the death in the woods at Dalhousie, An- ‘papolis, of the boy Armstrong. The sur- viving brother Frank in relating his terrible jexperience, told the following story to the Digby Courier :—

| ‘*On entering the woods on Monday night, they did not proceed far before they rested sleeping between two logs. At. the dawn of day on Tuesday, they started to work their way out, having resolved to return home. They wandered around over cradle hills through thickets and bogs, with the water |Sometimes to their knees, and soon began to jrealize that they were lost. Tuesday night they tried to build a sort of a camp and to | get some sleep, but being ¢old and huagry j|they had to keep moving about the must of | their time for fear of perishing. Wednesday moruing they started once more to find their way out, but before going far, Tom, who had been encouraging Frank hitherto, began to show signs of fatigue would frequently - fall down, and had to be assisted to his feet by his brother. Frank now said that he

“thought mother was dead,” but Tom thought not; and they then knelt in prayer. After a little time Tom gave

up altogether, and sank dowu on a log trom which he was unable to rise, saying: ‘*Tell mother not to worry about me, | have been forgiven, and I will meet her in heaven.” Frank tried to cheer him, saying: ‘the would try to get out and obtain something to eat and bring it to him.” Tom said “hurry.” Tom took off his coat, laid it about his dyin brother, and then parted with a “‘vood-bye.” Frank set out with what strength he had feft, travelling in his sock feet through snow and water, his feet having become so swollen that he was unable to wear his boots. After goin a short distance he heard a crackling soun like that of footsteps in the bushes, which he thought might be his brother trying to follow him. He turned abdut in the direction of the sound which he followed for some time without discovering the cause of it. Since then a number of fresh bear tracks have been found along the course he took, which accounts for the noise he heard. Toward evening he reached the edge of a meadow over- iiowed with water. He wandered along its edge but could find no crossing. He waded in, but finding the water deep dared not un- dertake to ford it for fear of drifting down with the strong current, In returning to the shore he stumbled and tell, getting completely drenched. He took off his clothing, wrung it and placed it on a large stone to dry in the sun. Soon after, darkness shut down and Frank, tired, sore, hungry and cold, had. to seek a resting place for the night under the lee of a rock. On Thursday morning he sighted abarn a long distance otf, and began calling that some one might hear him; this he contintied to do until the afternoon, when the relief party, as stated before, reached him. All the facts surrounding this melancholy affair are heartrending. Two lads, animated with those feelings of independence which so oiten prevail in the hearts of youths of their age, start out from the warm shelter of their parents’ home, imagining it so easy to succeed in a world of which they know so little, Within one short week the youngest has suc- cumbed to the ‘manifold. miseries in which he has become involved, while the elder only escapes a similar fate by the narrowest pos- sible chance,” ——— Ln een

British Foreign Trade for March.

The British Board of Trade returns for March are ** fairly satisfactory,” but do not indicate that business has been increasing very rapidly, except in a few lines. The iuiports amounted to $32,795,000 an in- crease of £1,304,000, or about 4 per cent.; and the exports to £19,002, 000, an increase of £492,000, or about 24 per cent. The increase in the imports is chiefly due to larger arrivals of wheat, flour and raw wtton, there being decreases jn Indian urn, butter, tea and wool. The additional imports of wheat came mainly from the United States (Atlantic ports), the receipts ‘roi India continuing to show a falling off. Phe increase in exports is caused chiefly by the large shipments of iron and steel, prin- cipally to the United States, which have sgain bought considerable quantities of pig metal, old iron and steel blooms and billets. Shipments of cotton goods were about the same as in March last year ; the continent, except France, continues to be a good customer for the staple product of Lanca- shire. Woolen fabrics also appear to have been bought in increased quantities, especi- ally for shipment to the continent. Worst- eds, however, and linen goods show a diminution. :

Spring Trade in the West and South

The Chicago Tribune, in a review of the spring trade at various large centers in the west and south, notes a very heavy volume of business, indicating a marked revival in trade. The early spring trade of Chicago this year is said to have been unparalleled in volume. Similar reports come from nearly all large centers in the Mississippi valley. The month of March was a phe- nomenal one in the dry goods trade. This is partly explained by the efforts of dealers to secure the lower freight rates then ruling. No bad results of the new rates were found im Chicago by the Tribune. St. Louis dealers seem tu be equally satisfied. Den- ver merehants are dissatisfied with the new rates, but report an increase of from 20 to 50 percent. in trade over the same time last year.
