A NEW IDEA.-Mr. Catlin who is widely known for his researches among tie Indians, and for his descriptions of their habits, etc., had his attention called to the fact that death rarely occurs among the Indians, in childhood, in some tribes such thing being almost who'll ly unknown. while among the white race the mortality of children is absolutely frightful. MT. Catln breaches the theory that the differ ence is owing to the fact Indian children are never allowed to sleep with their mouths open. The Indian mother early teaches her offspring to sleep with their mouths closed, by gently pressing their lips together, aud the habit is soon formed. He says by sleeping with the mouth open, passageis is made directly to the lungs, and various diseases are thus bred. A mass of fact and philosophy is cited in support of the theory.
