Take Care of the Schoolgirl.
Dr. Backus, of the Packer Institute,
in Brooklyn, has been saying some
severely common sense things to ambi-
tious parents. In addressing a meet-
ing of education he very forcibly ex-
pressed his opinion regarding the re-
sponsibility which parents should feel
in their physical care of the young stu-
‘dcnt in her school days.‘ He emphati-
cally disapproved of the practice of
keeping her on a piano stool for Hours
every day. “Put her to bed early and
don’t waken her in the morning,” he
said “If she is not being overtaxed
she will waken herself in time for
school,and if she doesn’t, let her sleep.
Give her a good breakfast, too, before
,she starts out. Her stomach, at that
time of life, is a more important organ
than her brain.” All of which is sound
sense and was so enthusastically re-
ceived by his listeners that it is to be
hoped every scholar’s guardian present
took away the good seed to bear fruit.
Our NorwalK Hospital.
A Card appears elsewhere in to-day’s
GAZETTE from the secretary of our
Norwalk Hospital Association, showing
a most gratifying result of previous
efforts in behalf of this, humane, and
much needed enterprise. The collec-
tions made, mostly by the good ladies,
show an aggregate of $10,500 which is
$500 in excess of the sum that justifies
the collection of 35,000 more from the
State. This is a‘ most cheering exhibit
of financial success. But the harder
and more impeiative part is to follow.
This sum already in hand and in sight,
must be by law, reserved for and used
in the construction of a permanent
hospital building leaving nothing for
the equally necessary current expenses
of maintaining the hospital after it is
built and equipped.
Rev. Mr. Watkins, the secretary, in
his plain and straightforward statement
estimates that the annual cost of main-
tainance will be $2,000, and for this
annual supply of means, he frankly
states the inevitable truth, that the in-
stitution has no other resource than to
continue its reliance upon the people
of the town. The GAZETTE thinks the
matter of raising funds for running ex-
penses after the hospital is duly equip-
ped, may safely be left to the diligence
of our persevering and public spirited
ladies, who have already done so extra-
ordinarily well. If the several church~
es of the town would combine to take
up, says. quarterly collection, or the
tidy-membership assume the collection
of some stated and specific sum per
month or quarter, of course the hospi-
tal management would have less anx-
ious and perplexing sailing, as the
always distressing element in such
cases of uncertainty as to needed reve-
nue, would be provided against. But
‘continued faith may be had in the kind
hearts and generosity of the Norwalk
people. Its hospital must and will be
maintained.
Lane—Gaffney.
Before the Hartford Wheel clubat
Hartford, last night, Harry Lane. of
Bridgeport, went up against Con.
Gafi'uey of New London and won in
two rounds.
Lane weighed 140 p0unds,while Gaff-
ney was about 20 pounds heavier. Ike
Williams and Fred McGirr were Lane’s
seconds.
The fighting was fast and furious
while it lasted. Lane had slightly the
best of-it and Gafi‘ney repeatedly foul-
ed. Finally hc kicked Lane and threw
him violently to the floor. His seconds
claimed a foul and after a wrangle it
was allowed and the fight awarded to
Lane.
The crowd was afoul: evenly divided
and for a time it lookel as it there
would bea riot but trouble was averted.

A director of one of our Chicago banks
tells about how his wife overdrew her
account at the bank last month. “I
spoke to . her about it one evening,”
says he “and told her she ought to ad-
just it at once. A day or two afterward
I asked her if she had done what 1 sug-

Worthy of Attention. .
At the. home of Mrs. Ann-Burns on
Harbor avenue, lies awoman who is
slowly being eaten :up by a} cancer.
Her name is Mary' O’Reilly. The can-
cerous growth has already made such
inroads that the right arm and the
right breast of the patient is almost
all eaten away. She gets only the
care of Mrs. Burns a poor woman who
is called away to earn her own liveli.
hood.
Miss O’Reilly is apparently 30 years
of age, and shows great signs of suf-
fering. That she ought to receive
greater care is of itself apparent. The
greater amount of care than is under
the circumstances accorded. A more
frequent change of clothing, and the
presence of a nurse would have a calm
tary effect. _
The patient was at one time in the
employ of Mrs. M' E. Mead and later
in that of David E. Disbrow.She was in-
capacitated from work about six weeks
ago, and in the kindness of her heart
Mrs. Burns took her under her care,
and receives for such service only the
sum of $2 per week from the town.
The physician in attendance pro-
nounces her case incurable, and thinks
that it is only a question of a few
months before she dies. Nevertheless
all the necessaries of life ought to be
accorded her if only for humanity’s
sake. ‘
A GAZETTE reporter brought the at-
tention of the selectmen to the case
and to him they stated that they had
given all aid asked.

_' '9st PEARL DIVER.
Sensation :of a First
. in; Sult.‘
With the single exception of the coral
—whfch has little, if any, popularity at
the present day—the pearl is the only
water gem; and of all occupations—per—
haps excepting aeronautics—pearl diving
is the most dangerous. and is a calling
followed by few men. .-
There is avast distinction between the
wreck or dock diver and the pearl diver,
though the same dress is worn by both.
Those of the former class do not make so
many descents, nor pass so many times
under water; they are attended by a faith‘
ful companion, and the boat from which
they dive is firmly anchored; the depthof
water also is not usually great: but with
the pearl fishes all the manifold dangers
become a thousand times magnified, and
any accident almost always terminates
fatally. ,
3~ A pearl diver wiih a heart or lung trou-
ble, that may have existed to but a
slight degree before, if he knéw of it at
all, will after a few months succumb to
the malady. Nearly all divers are par-
tially if not totally (leaf. Incipient par-
alysis is another affliction. A descent
made at night by the dives, give a curious
and intensely interesting observation of
shining phosphorescence. Everything
aglow with this wondrous light; the di-
ver himself became transformed, the fish
sent forth the soft radiancefiand the fas‘
cinating reefs and tropical growths are,
enhanced by this strange, faint yet lumin-
ous medium. *
The pearl shells are the bread and but.
ter of the diver, 200 or 400 pair being gatn—
ered in a. day, and are worth to the own
er about one dollar a pair.
and other growths ou' the outside of the
shell are easily scraped off while fresh,
the oyster is thrown overboard, the only
edible portion being the muscle which
holds the shells together, and which the
Mohammedaus eat in their diet of fish
and rice. The inside of the shell is the
beautifully polished and exquisitely hued
surface called mother-of—pearl.
The pearl is found inibedded in the oy‘.
ster, and not, as many suppose, attached
to the shell. The diver puts the precious
stones in a bottle, and the shells are then
cleaned and packed by the Malays ready
for the London market. Htre they are
sold by auction to agents, especially from
Austria, where so many beautiful but-
tons and mother-of—pearl ornaments are
made. ~
The value of the lovely pearl, which
needs nopolishing or cutting, as do the
gems that come from mines, depends on
their color, lustre, and shape. Though
many prefer the pink or black jewél for
their' oddity, the Oriental and white
pearls are the most valuable, with a lus-
tre that reflects its polished home, and a
form that is perfectly round, though the
pear and button shapes are available for
many ornaments.

Military Training iii Schools;
. There is a. movement on foot to make
instrustion in military drill general in
the public schools.
The idea of military drill first origi-
nated with the parade of 4,5000 public
school boys during the Centennial in
New York. It was the sight of those
erect, manly lads, that moved, it is said,
the gallant old General Sherman to tears.
Ex-President Harrison, then in office, was
also deeply impressed and made the re-
mark “that with such boys for citizens
the country was safe.”
Aside altogether from the soldierly in-
fluence, the patriotic spirit developed, the
purely physical benefit of military drill
should commend it as a necessity.
Sound mind in sound body, you see. We
want men of muscle as well as men of

other 15,000,000' soldiers ready at short
notice to enter the field.

supposed that he has taken this action in
the hope that one or more of the powers

The world has had inall just 15 de-'
cisive battles.
But every man has in his lifetime
more decisive battles than this. -
The important epochs in man’s life
that settle for him wealth, position, and
often life itself come without warning.
Weakness, indecision and lack of
nerve force of these turning points is
fatal. In long and doubtful sickness,
when life itself trembles in the bal-
ance, a little more strength and power
of resistance to disease makes the dif-
ference between life and death. -
Thin people with depleted, diseased
blood run big risks. . Careful men and
women all over the country are build
ing up their systems and storing the
nerve centers with energy. They are
taking that remarkable blood purifier
and nerve food, Paine’s celery 00m-
pound. ’ -
It cannut be repeated .too often that
the blood is the fountain which sup.
plies every part of the body. If this
life-giving medium lacks vigor and
richness, nerves, brain, heart, kidnevs,
and lungs immediately suffer. The
weakest'spot gives way first.
If you find yourself growing thin,
nervous, Without appetite—look out.
You are starving some important organ
through inappropriate nutrition.

' ' Thomas Harrison is the proprietor of
the famous Harrison farms of North
Dakota. He holds the office of notary
public. and is coroner of Traill county.
He writes from Blanchard, No. Dakota :
“Two years ago when the grip was
prevalent in this country, I suffered
very much from this trouble. The di-
sease lingered with me until it‘devel-
oped into catarrh of the head. For
this loathsome trouble I tried many
remedies advertised for catarrh with-
out any permanent relief, and while
spending the winter of 92-93 in Los
Angeles I was treated by a specialist
without any better results. Seeing
Paine’s celery compound advertised, I
tried it, not expecting much relief, as I
thought that I could not be cured.
used one bottle as directed and was en-
tirely and permanently cured. This
was over six months ago, and I have
not experienced a return of any of the
symptoms, though I have been ex-
posed to the inclement weather in
lerst cold this winter, when I had been
troubled with the catarrh I Would have
cold after cold all winter. I will cheer-
fully answer all inquiries as to the cor-
rectness of my statements. Many
around here are using the compound
on the strength of my recommenda-
tion. It makes people well.”
