GIVE THE Cnrl DREN FRESH AIR.-Some
parents make the great istake Of keep
ing their children in doors during cold
weather. Such practice is pernicious
in many respects. 1t cnfeebles the bod
les of children, and renders them pecu-
liarly liable to be attacked by colds and
coughs. A child should have its feet
we'll shod with socks and boots, its body
we'll wrapped in warm clothing, its head
and ears securely protected from the colo
and then be let loose to play in the keen
bracing winter air. by this means its
body will become robust, and its spirits
be kept bright and cheerful; whereas, il
child be shut up in the house. it will
become fretful ana feverish. aud perhaps
wind up with a severe attack of illness.

The Brain.

One of the rcadiest roads to the head is
through the lungs. You may reach the
brain in minute with chloroform, for
example. The power of this drug is
something marvellous. When under its
influence, man may have his limbs cut
off without any sensation whatever; and
even when he RECEIVERS from the artificial
trance, he may still have neither pain
nor uneasiness. Why? Have you ever
seen person after fit of epilepsy? At
ter fit of that kind, people have no re-
mcmbrance of anything done to them du-
ring the fit. During the cpileptic par
oxysm, the brain lie all but completely
torpid. The same thing happens after
the anasthetic sleep Of chloroform. In
neither case can man remember what
he never felt. But mark what may hap
pen after amputation performed on pa
tient under chloroform. The same man
who felt no pain in the stump either du-
ring or after the operation, may contin-
ue for many successive months to be at
tackled with the indentical local symp-
toms for which his limb was removed, at
the hour of the day or night when he
was wont to suffer martyrdom before its
removal. And more than this, if seized
by his old enemy during sleep, he may
wake, exclaiming-'Oh, my leg, my leg!
pains me the same as when it was on.'
More curious still. he may tell you he
can, so far as his own feelings are con-
ccrncd, actually move the foot of the am
putatcd limb. What do these facts prove?
They prove: 1. That the brain is the
source of all motion and all sensation,
morbid or sane; they prove, inversely,2.
That the brain is the source of rest and
remission, sleep included; they further
prove, 5, That the brain is the source of
all paroxysmal recurrence, whether the
more prominent symptoms be general or
local. II Lon,loa IMiical Practice.

New CoMDrsTIBLE.-A French paper,
published in Algicrs. gives an intcrrs-
ting account of new combustible. 1t
appears that the mass of cruptivc rock
in the neighborhool of Cape Bengal near
Do'lys, is divided by innumcrablc fissures
into exceedingly irregular blocks; and in
these crcviccs are found isolated frag-
ments of a fossil combustible. presenting
the appearance of good quality of coal.
They belong to two different varieties:
the one is dry and burns without fame !;
while the other which i. most abundant,
is exceedingly fat" and burns with a
long flame The second variety catches
fire and burns with great briliancy in a
common candle flame; by distillation it
yields, like coal, ammoniacal water, btu
minous oils. and inhamablc gases, and
the residue is hard, compact coke, with
the brillancy of metallic iron. The
material is not abundant, it being ncces-
sary to remove a large volume of rock
to meet but small fragments of the COM
bustible.
