Physical Development lor Girls.
The mother's responsibility for t he
physical well-being of her family
doos not stop, however, with tin
provision of nourishing food. If
there are giils in the family, the
same care must be given to their
physical development that is eonsid
ered necessary for the boys. There

c nr. in n sense regulates tho daily
life of growing girls. There is, for
tunately, so widespread an interest
in . physical culture, nowadays, '
few girls have to bo urged to take
tho needed exercise ; but judgment
and intelligence should direct this
so that it bo adapted to individual
needs. It is also as great a sin to
allow a child to take on loo much
tlesh as it is not to (rain the body to
take it on in the light place; and
wise exorcise and diet can regulate
both evils. The time is fortunately
fast approaching when n mother
must feel it a disgrace not to know
how to do (his, und recognize it as
of tho first importance to acquire the
knowledge necessary to Hccuro (he
physical perfection of her children

How many take a wrong viow of
life, waste all their energies and des
troy their nervous system in endeav
oring to accumulate wealth, without
thinking of tho present happiness
they aro throwing away. It is not
wealth or high station which makes
one happy. Many of tho most
wretched beings on earth havo both ;
but it is a radiant, sunny spirit which
knows how to bear trials and enjoy
comforts, and thus extract happiness
from every incident in hfe.
