Lake Keuka, or Crooked Lake, sitrl-
ated in the center of the grape region
of Western New York, is 487 feet above,
the level of the Atlantic. Its length Isl
% miles, and it's greatest breadth one
and half miles. The outlet, which
flows into Seneca Lake, has descent
of 2l7 feet in seven miles. Once every
year, usually in May, the lake purifes
its waters by throwing to the surface a
yellow substance, which appears and
smells like sulphur, and gradually ex.
tends until the face of the entire lake
is covered. This remains about one
week and suddenly disappears in day,
and it is not again seen until the next
season. It's shores abound in mineral
springs of the class of chalybeate
waters. 'ish of all kinds abound in the
lake.

THE BUSINESS er oHsLDREN.

Children, IS well as adults, should have
occupation. Idleness is al abomination at
any period Of life, from the cradle to the
grave. "For Satan finds some mischief still
for idle hands to do" Nature knows
nothing Of idlers. If children are natural,
why should they be idlers?
Now the business Of children is to grow.
This may be new theory, startling innO-
walton, a revolutionary statement, but we
think it is true. As We look over the
world, We find that children generally are
put to all other businesses except
growing. They are permitted to
grow If they can, but compelled to do
everything else. The growing Is secondary
end incidental, when it should be primary
and fundamental. Children are Coaiined
six hours day in the schooi-rUom, under
the delusion that they are being educated.
They may, indeed, learn to repeat words,
and talk phrases. But all the ideas they
get at the expense OF bodily development
are useless, or worse. They may recise al,
the books from Alpha to Omega, and yet be
know-nothings for al practical purposes.
CUlliVSting the mind at the expense of the
body was never done, and never will be.
All attempts in that direction only dwarf
and enfaeble both.-Scieace Of Health,

Railroad. On the Sacramento division Of
the Central Pacific Railroad we doubled
tCape Horn,n one Of the most terribly
grand and beautiful spots on the overland
route. The cars were stopped there for
I've minutes to allow the passengers
TO get out and take good
look at the splendid scene. II was truly
grand. It seemed as if the cars were liter
ally suspended on the side of the precipice,
with two hundred feet of rock, towering
perpcndieulsrly above US, and a thousand
feet of almost perpendicular descent below
US. There was house in the valley be-
low with few acres of fenced land attach
ed, and stretching off for miles through the
canon was visible an arm
of The American river, winding its
serpentine way at the base Of the rugged,
overhanging mountains, that rise on either
hand, lifting their heads to the clouds.
"Cape Horn" must be seen to be appreci-
sted; pen cannot describe, or pencil paint
