EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.-In the education
of children, care should be taken to give
them such work to do as will stimulate their
efforts. 1t Is better to teach little boy how
to make a kite for himself than to make il
for him and he will love the kite the more
because it is the work of his own hands,
The mental and physical exercises and en-
~ployments of children should lie so arranged
that excess IN either should not disgust them.
One should always relieve the other; and
where exercises and amusements can be so
arranged as to combine, pleasantly, physical
exercise and intellectual culture, both may
be made more agreeable. The mental and
physical powers of child both require con.
tinual exercise, or at least occupation and
the first effort of education should be to pre.
vent those injuries to mind and BODY which
always result from want of such occupa:
ton.
From the time that children notice things
and feel that they possess physical powers,
both mind and body are in continual exer,
else; and we may sag that the education of
children from this early age is continually
going on, just as in a field vegetation will be
as rife if the culture be neglected, as if it be
attended to: but the quality of the product
will depend entirely upon the skill, care and
industry of the cutivator we cannot pre-.
vent child's mind from growing, we cannot
prevent it from forming habits. And all
that education can do is to direct the devel-
opement of its powers, and keep them prop
erly exercised. A rich soil will produce veg
tation of some kind. but it depends upon the
cultiyator's art and attention to determine
whether the product shall be useful and
pleasant fruit, or rank and noxious weeds,

A NEW IDEA.-Mr. Catlin, who is widely
known for his researches among the Indians.
and for his drawings of their habits, g.. had
his attention called to the fact that death
rarely occurs among the Indians in child
hood, in some tribes such a thing being al
most wholly unknown. while among the white
races the mortality of children is absolutely
frightful. Mr.. Catlin breaches the theory
that the difference is owing to the fact that
Indian children are never allowed to sleep
with their mouths open. The Indian mother
early learns her offspring to sleep with their
mouths closed. by gently pressing the lips
together. and the habit is soon formed. He
says. by sleeping with the mouth open. a
passage is made directly to the lungs. and
vaFiols diseases are thus bred. A mass Of
fact and philosophy is cited in support Of the
theory.
