Infants and Air.

Parliamentary returns show that of twen-

four out of twenty-five died before they were
year old a law was Immediately passed
that they should be sent to the country
thereafter, when it was found that only nile
out Of twenty-five died the first year that
is, instead of $500 dying, there were only
$50. difference of 2,240.
This simple, unvarnished statement of an
indisputabIe fact ought to impress the mind
Of every parent deeply, with the importance
and the duty Of using all practical means of
securing to children the habitual breathing
Of the purest air possible being careful to
avoid a radical, mischevous, aid most prev
alent error, that warm air is necessarily i'm
pure. Warmth is as essential to intantile
health as pure air. How best to secure both
should be our constant study. There are
more deaths under five years of age in New
York, than there are from five to sixty years.
owing to three th:ngs-a want of pure air.
suitable warmth, and proper food In
these three wants are found the overwhelm
ing majority Of causes for the fearful state
ment above named. Let every parent in the
city or country, in hovei or mansion, mature
these things.
To die childless, after having Leen once
blessed with dear children, must be one of
the most terrible calamites ofthe heart vet.
in countless multitudes ofcases, the sufferers
are the authors Of their own crushing sor-

Of singular shape. Upon inquiry he was in

vent them from scratching. The lady stated
that it had been her practice for years to
shoe her hens, and save her garden. These
"shoes," Il believe they are not patented.)
