Eating Between Meals.


This pernicious habit, which unwise
parents permit their children to form,
is one prolific cause of dyspepsia in
middle and mature life. Every organ
of the body requires rest, and if this
demand is not complied with, derange-
ment and disease inevitably result. The
brain and nerves must have rest in
sleep, the heart rests between its beat
ings, the muscles cannot work all the
time, neither can the stomach endure
perpetual motion. The entire system
in each and every part is greatly infu-
enced by habit, which, when formed,
becomes second nature hence the
child accustomed to constant nibbling
of some sweet or comfit demands it,
and is unsatisfed and uncomfortable
without it. .
The meals of children, no less than
of grown people, should be so regular
ly served, so skillfully compounded, and
there should be such blending of
heat-producing and muscle-making
food, that after full meal the appetite
should clamor for nothing until the
hour for the next meal comes round.
Most children love sweets, and, uu-
less restrained, eat too freely of them.
Saccharine substances of all kinds con-
tain only heat-producing elements.
Persons confined to sugar as their sole
diet, perish from hunger almost as soon
as those who eat nothing. A child fed
upon cake and other sweet foo is, which
generally contain very little nitrogenous
or muscle-making substance, will soon
after eating become hungry again and
clamor to be fed. Let the child be
gradually and judiciously starved into
normal appetite, and then fed upon
wheaton bread or oatmeal mush and
fresh milk from healthy COW, with the
ordinary vegetables and fruits of the
season, and what he eats will be all he
needs till meal time comes again.
Stomach digestion is only q part of
the process of assimilation. In from
two to three hours after hearty meal
the stomach should be empty. Mean
time bowel digestion is going on, and
the blood is being reinforced, not from
the stomach, but from absorption by
the. lacteal glands of those elements of
nutrition not eliminated from the food
until after it passes into the duodenum
and is mixed with the bile and pancre-
attic juice. While bowel digestion is
going on the stomach is given q chance
to rest ss... ...
For children about five hours be-
tween meals is a proper interval, and
not unsuitable for grown people,
though longer time than that may
elapse between dinner and supper.
The breakfast, many writer's on health
say, should be the heartiest meal of the
day, the dinner less hearty, and the
supper light, so that the hours of sleep
shall find the stomach entirely at rest,

Multiplication of Insects.

Treating of natures means of limit
ing the numbers of insects, Professor
A. s. Packard, in the american Nat4-
ralist, gives Bonnet's estimate of the
average reproduction rate of the aphis,
or plant louise. One virgin plant louise
was found to bring forth about 100
young, and so on for ten genera
tions. Now add up the number Of
young produced by those of say ten
broods, and we have the enormous
number of 1,OOO,OOO,O ,OO0, 600, ,OOO, 900, or
quintillion young. Professor Huxley
is then quoted to show the real import
of these figures. 81 will assume" says
Mr.. Huxley, that an aphis weighs one
one-thousandth of grain, which is
under the mark. A quintillion will on
this estimate weigh quadrillion of
grains. He is very stout man who
weighs 100000 grains consequently
the tenth brood alone, if all the men,
bers survive the perils to which they
are exposed, contains more substance
than 500, 900, 900 stout men to say the
least, more than the whole population
of China" When we realize that so far
from quintillion, only pair or two
of plant lice survive, and at the end of
the season die, after laying few eggs,
by which the species is represented in
winter, we can form some idea of the
struggle for existence among animals,
and of the vicissitudes to which they
are exposed. We can see how delicate
is the balance of circumstances by
which nature preserves the equilibrium,
seeking, on the one hand, as it were, to
prevent the extinction of the species,
and on the other its undue multiplica-

At the Bank.

If you will present a check without
introduction at bank where you are
not known, do not get heated when the
teller declines to cash it, or ask him
whether you look more like thief than
gentleman. Instead of bothering him
with conundrums, applaud his caution
and regret your indiscretion. Napoleon
promoted q picket guard who declined
to accept his assurance that he was the
veritable terror of Europe, and who ad-
ded pleasantly that he would shoot him
if he attempted to advance without

Lullaby.

Baby mine, baby mine,
Listen to your mothers words,
All the bluebells that do blow
Went to sleep, oh, long ago
Long ago, long ago
Sung asleep by birds.
Go to sleep, go to sleep"
Sang the birds upon the bough,
"Silver moon a watch will keep"
So they sang with chirp and peep
"Go to sleep, go to sleep"
As I'm singing now.
Hide away, hide away.
Bluebells in my baby's eyes;
All the shadows of the night
Wait to shut you out of sight
Out of sight, out of sight
Mother guards her prize.
Open wide, open wide,
Gold-fringed lids, another day,
On the eyes so deeply blue,
Drenched in all as tender dew,
AS the wood-born bluebells knew,
Meath the morn's white ray.

old supposition that feathers are pro-

the side of the house close to the bed.
A little girl, who lay next to the wall,
was hit by the lightning on the head,
the electricity coursing down her body,
breaking her ribs and tearing out pieces
of flesh. She lived an hour.

THE ROUND LAKE CAMP MEETING. The
Methodist national camp meeting, now in pro-
gress at Round Lake, near Saratoga, n. u, is
without doubt, the greatest affair of its kind
that has ever been held in this country. The
grounds were purchased several years ago,
when improvements we're at once commenced.
Cottages we're erected, hotels built, stables con-
structed, and wells dug, so as to provide accom-
modation for l2, 900 persons. For the past two
years the grounds have received additional en-
bellishments, urtil the camp is all that can
be desired On Wednesday last there were no
less than sixty car loads of visitors landed at
the camp. 1t is thought that President Grant
will visit there before he completes his visit at
Saratoga Among the prominent Methodlsts
who are taking part in the affair are Bishop
Kavanaugh, of Louisville, KY; Bishop James,
Bishop Campbell, Rev. Isaac McCann, presi-
ding elder of the Vermont conference 4; Rev.
Dr. Eddy, presiding elder of the Central New

THE ATLANTIC CABLES cable of 1866,
it will be remembered, was broken last year,
and could not be- used for the transmission OF
telegrams-business having during the winter
and spring been confined to the other English
and French cable The announcement is now
made that on Tuesday the broken. cable was
successfully repaired and is now. in working
order. All three are in operation, and the
Anglo American Cable Company will soon lay
fourth The opposition cable, the section OF
which between Halifax and New Hampshire
was finished last Wednesday, will also be com
pleted across the ocean in short time. With
five cables between England and America,
there is no reason why the present exOrbitant
toll should not be reduced Only few years
ago we went into a spasm of enthusiasm, as
well we might, over one of the greatest achiev.
ments of this or any other age, the successful
completion of ocean telegraphic communica'
ton Now we glance nonchaantly over the an
noucement of new cable as though it were the
most ordinary piece of intelligence. But this is
an aye so filed with remarkable exploits of the
inventive genius of man that, though the grand
achievement of the hour is received with all
due honor, it speedily takes its proper place in
our practical generation, and everyday famili-
arity with it soon dispels the awe with which
We once regarded it.
