THE SEEDS OF CONSUMPTION.

AT the suggestion of medical friend we publish the
following article from Dickens Household Words:
The terrible mortality caused by bronchitis,
pneumonia, and consumption, which together Kill
ill England and Wales only-a hundred thous-
and people year (being one-fourth of the entire
mortality from more than hundred other causes
in addition to themselves should make think
little seriously of the many things, and not least
seriously of the freaks of fashion which set climate
at defiance. Why do we send children abroad in
damp and cold weather with their legs bare, sub
mtted tender as their bodies are, to risks that
even strong adults could not brave with impunity!
Custom has made this matter appear familiar and
tring, but it is not out of place to say, at the be-
ginning of another winter, that the denial to young
children of proper skirts to their clothes and warm
coverings to their legs has sown the seeds OF con-
sumption in thousands and thousands and is, OF
many dangerous things done in obedience to laws
of fashion, the one that is most thoughtless and
most cruel 1t is in the child that consumption can
most readily be planted-in the child that when
the tendency exists, it be conquered, if at ALL
1t is to be fought against by protecting the body
with sufficient clothing against chill and damp, by
securing it plenty of wholesome sleep-not sufo-
cative sleep among feathers and curtains-pl2nty
Of free abution without pre- udices on behalf of
water, icy cold, plenty of cheerful exercise short
of fatigue, plenty of meat, and bread, and whole
wanted by all children. Many child pines in
health upon diet stnted with the best intentions
But the truth is that it is not possible to over
feed Child with simple wholesome eatables. 1t
can be stimulated to excess in the demolishing of
sickly dainties; and, with stomach once fairly
depraved, may be made incompetent to say when
it has had too little or too much. But child fed
only upon wholesome things knows better than
any mamma can tell when it wants more; it can eat
great deal; has not only to maintain life, but to
add height and breadth to stature. Fortify it,
then, against variations of climate, and weather,
by meeting freely the demands of its body; give
it full animal vigour to resist unwholcsome impress
sions. Especially let the good housewife, who
has young family to feed, learn to be utterly
reckless as the extent of her milk-score. Some
body has declared a pint of milk to contain as
much nourshment half pound of meat BE
that as it may, it is the right food for little ones
to thrive upon and may much subsequent
expenditure for cod-liver oil.

A FROG IN THE STOMACH FOR THREE YEARS
The Baltimore Sun is responsible for the follow
ing;
A son of Mr. Charles Davis, residing in Gould's
Court, leading from Montgomery near Light street
has caused the family great uneasiness for three
years past in consequence of his being subject at
times for hours together, to spaslns and terrible
fits. Physicians were consulted, but all their in
vestgatIons failed to reveal the causes that produc-
ed the malady. Yesterday afternoon, about 3
o'clock, when entering the house the lad was seized
with the symptoms of his malady, and in a fit of
retching threw up upon the floor live frog, about
two inches in length The frog hoped gaiy
about the floor until secured by the family. In
is VIM. Davis, and he is about ten years Of age.
He has no recollection of the time the frog was
taken into his stomach, but his father thinks it
was swallowed with his drink about three years
ago, when he was first afflicted with fits.
