If a man loses his situation it's apt to

If a man gives advice freely it's prob

If you can't say anything good of

we think they should it would be much
easier to loTe them.

The abundance of vegetables served

served in new forms which would cer
tainly deceive the grandmothers of this
generation, who served them only as
plain boiled.

The bishop of London has directed his

problems, which they know arc felt
by those to whom they are speaking.

A metrical journal snys that an itn
portnnt. hygieoio prrtnt which Is too
often overlooked altogether In tho se
lection of slncplng noma for young
children is that of light -the light of
the sun shining directly into the room,
nnd not tho rollected light of the wall
or reflector. The rays of the sun. with
their triple qualities cnloriflc. lumi
nous and chemical -are Indispensable
to life and health, and to deprive chil
dren of them in to prrpnre the ground
for phthisis. In the city nf Paris, 11,
C00 people din orery year from tiihereu
lol. as against 39,000 from all other
diseases. The cjluso given for this
frightful mortality Is that a large pro
portion of tb lower-clns population
live In gloomy, nnsunnrd rooms, over
looking dark or cold conrta or varda,
and righted by transoms, or deriving
their obscure light from other rooms.
The light of the sun alone is not only
a powerful source of vitality, but it
actuates the cells of the brain. Invigor
ates the muscle. Increases the pressurn
of blood In the arteries, and gives the
feeling of well being, nnd the lightness
of body and step that characterize per
fect health. To show how much more
efficacious than the administration of
medicine good air nnd light may I.e.
it is only necessary to take a debilitated,
anemio child, who has been living in n
cooped-iip, gloomy room, and place It
In a good-sized apartment, into which
the sunlight pours freely. An Immedi
ate improvement in the child will b
observed.
The regulation of the sleeping hours
of children Is not less important Dr.
Maurice de Flcury, who has made a
study of this branch of hygiene, smys
that ii child cf from five to eight years
of ago ought to sleep from eight o'clock
in the evening to seven in the morn
ing that is, 11 hours. A child of from
eight to twelve yeu.-s of age should
sleep from nine In the evening to seven
in the morning or ten hours; a child
of from 12 to 15, from 0:30 in the even
ing to 0:30 In the morning or nine
hours. Later, It is well to accustom
them to eight hours' sleep, nnd, eventu
ally, if the system does not demand
more, to seven hours. These rules are
for healthy children. Some children
are all the better for even n more lib
eral allowance, and those who are sick
ly, enervated and excitable should have
half an houroran hour's sleep after the
midday meal.
