Method of StuSly.

Three hours in the forenoon two hours inter-
val, and two hours more study in the afternoon,
and not moments study of lessons except in
the schOol-roOm; let all the other time of the
waking existence OF each day be expended in
muscular activities, in moderate work or recre-
alton, involving motion OF some kind. No child
should be sent to school before seven years of
age, and up to eighteen no child Orglt to be
allowed to continue at brain work. involving in
tellectnal labor, longer than the five hours
named
Up to eighteen years, every child should be
allowed ten hours to be in bed. They may not
require ten hours sleep, but time should be
allowed TO rest in bed. after the sleep is over,
until they feel as if they had rather get up than
not. 1t Il very great and mischievous mistake
for any person, old or young, especially children,
and feeble or sedentary persons, to bounce out
of bed the moment they wake up; all our instincts
shrink from it, and fercely kick against it. Fiji
teen or twenty minutes spent in gradually
turning over and stretching the limbs, does as
much good as sound sleep; because these
operations set the blood in motion by degrees,
tending to equaliZe the circulatiOn; for during
sleep the blood tends to stagnation, the heart
beats feebly and slow, and to shock the system
by bouncing up in an instant and sending the
causing it to assume a gallOp when the instant
before II was in a creep, is the greatest absurd
ity This instantaneous bouncing out of the
bed as soon as the eyes are opened will he fol-
lowed by WEAKNESS long before noon. Both the
brain and body of the young are feeble and
watery, and capable of but little endurance.
Wllness now soon little children get tired OF one
thing, even OF rest.-Halps Journal Of Health.
AN INGENIOUS METHOD OF PERFORMING
NEEDLEwoRT-styled photographic embroidery
has been invented by an English mechanic,
which is quite q curious device. number of
joint frames are employed, each carrying a tam
pouring or sewing apparatus. They are so ar
ranged and connected together that the needles
they carry may be made to traverse in any d.
rectiOn over the surface of the fabrics to be EN-.
brodered, and that the movement of the several
needles shall be simultaneous and similar. The
needle-frames are also connected with a panta-
graph having tracing point capable of being
led by q woman over the lines Of the pattern
which 1t Is desired to copy. and when 1t Is done
the needles will each travel in and work along
path similar to that passed over by the tracing
point. Thus each needle will produce embroid-
cry resembling the pattern, though not necessa-
the pattern should be on q somewhat larger
scale than the work that Is accomplished by its
means.
SuNBATHs.-These baths should be taken with
care at first, say from ten to fifteen minutes at
time, and gradually increased until there be ex-
% long As to be Followed by burning senss st
any part of the body. OF course the stronger
the patient, and the greater the effect desired
the longer they should be continued. If the pa
sirable, the body may be lightly covered with
white clothing, and the person sit or lie in the
sunshine for hours If the heat be not great. Care
should always be taken to avoid debilitation or
sure to great heat. All parts Of the body should
be exposed alternately, or turned to the light.
These baths may be taken daily when the heat
| Is not too great, but never either Immediately
midsummer will be all sufficient The head may

there be nausea, sips Of cold water may !,
taken.-R. Waller, N. d.
