Laughing Children.

Give me (says writer) the boy or girl
who smiles as soon as the first ray of the
morning sun chances in through the win
dow, gay, happy and kind Such boy
will be fit to make up'' into man-at
least when contrasted with a sullen, mo-
rose, grabbed fellow, who snaps and snarls
like a surly cur, or growls and grunts like
an untamed hyena from the moment he
opens his angry eyes till he is confront
ed'' by his breakfast. Such girl, other
things being favorable, will be good ma
terial to aid in gladdening some comforta-
BILE home, Or to refine, civilize, tame and
humanize rude brother, making him
gentle atfectionate and lovable It is a
feast to even look at such a joy-inspiring
girl, such woman girl, and seethe smiles
flowing, so to speak, from the parted lips,
displaying a set of clean, well -brushed
teeth, looking almost the personifcation
of beauty and goodness, singing, and as
merry as the birds-the Wide-aWake birds
that commenced their morning concert
long before the lazy boys dreamed that
the sun was approaching and about to
pour whole flood of light and warmth
upon the earth Such girl is like gen
tie shower to the parched earth, bestow-
ing kind words, sweet smiles and acts of
mercy to all around her-the Joy and light

Sleeping Under the Clothes.

THERE is reason to believe that nota few
Of the apparently unaccountable cases OF
scrofula among children proceed from the
habit of sleeping with the head under
the bed-clothes, and so inhaling air al
ready breathed, which is further contami-
mated by exhalations from the skin.
Patients are sometimes given to similar
habit; and it often happens that the bed
clothes are so disposed that the patient
must necessarily breathe air more or less
contaminated by exhalations from the
skin.
A good nurse will be careful to attend
to this. It is an important part, SO to
speak, of ventilation. 1t may be worth
while to remark that when there is any
danger of bed sores, blanket should
never be placed under the patient. It re-
tains dampness, and acts like poultice.
Never use anything but light Whitney
blankets as ped covering for the sick.
The heavy, impervious counterpart is bad,
for the very reason that it keeps the
emanations from the sick person, while
the blanket allows them to pass through.
Weak patients are invariably distressed
by great weight of bed-clothes, which
often prevents their getting any sound
sleep whatever-Msss Nightingale. 81

Talking about Ones Health.

If there is anything in the world to de-
stroy ones health, it is the perpetual con-
sideration Of it. In much that relates to
body, mind, heart, and soul, we must let
things take their own way. The stomach
resents being talked about, we find, and
refuses to digest for man who continu-
ally gossips about it. 1t was put into the
darkness, so that we might not see it. If
it had only been made as transparent as
glass, and we could have seen the special
effect of every article put into it, we should
have become so nervous" about it's oper-
atoms, that, shortly, the whole human
race would have died off, Doubtless, the
Psychologist and the student of dietetics
will give us some knowledge and wisdom !;
but they will sacrifice many victims by
their minute inquiries and cautions. One
of the best of them all, that we ever knew,
had one fundamental principle to impress
upon his disciples, "eat your victuals and
go about your business A valeteudin-
arian, long-suffering, refusing this and
that, and cutting down year by year the
list of wholesome articles for his food, at
last bethought himself it were as well
to die of fullness as by starvation; and
went to his accustomed restaurant at din
ner-time, and ordered a full meal like any
other man, to the amusement and incre-
d'llity of the attendant that always waited
on him; and on inquiry of the results of
his boldness, he replied he was as well
after full and various meal, as after all
the littleness he had been accustomed to
practice.-Christiaa1 Register.
