A Boy's Composition.
Thk following is a copy of what purports to be a genuine composition on ' Broathing,' written by a boy in a Yorkshire school:— • Breath is made of air. If it wasn't for our breath we should die when wo slept. Our breath keeps the life agoing through our nose when we are asleep. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe* They should wait outdoors. Boys in a room make carbonicido. Carbouicide is poisoner than mad dogs. A heap of Boldiera was in a black,hole in India, and a carbonicide gob in and killed nearly every one before the morning. Girls kill the breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram. Girls can't run or holler like boys, because their diagram is squeezed too much.' - - . .
