accommodations. They are both exeellen

considerable revenue by renting them out

The Forms of Fear.

In various characters fear assumes va
rious forms. Some children, who can
brave an external danger, will sink de-
pressed at a reproof or sneer. 1t is our
business to guard against the inroads of
fear under every shape for it is an in
trinity, if suffered to gain the ascend
ancy, most enslaving to the mind, and
destructive of its strength and capability
of enjoyment. At the same time, it is
an infirmity so difficult to overcome, and
to which children are so excessively
prone, that it may be doubted whether
in any branch of education more disere-
tion or more skill is required. We have
two objects to keep in view: the one, to
secure our children from all unnecessary
and imaginary fears the other, to III
spire them with that strength of mind
which may enable them to meet, with
patience and courage, the real and I'M
avOidable evils of life. For the first,
there is no one who has contemplated
the suffering occasioned, through life,
by the prevalence of needless fears, i'm
aginary terrors, and diseased nerves, but
would most earnestly desire to preserve
their children from these evils. To this
end, they should be, as far as possible,
guarded from everything likely TO excite
sudden alarm, or to terrify the imagina-
ton. In very early childhood they ought
not to be startled, even at play, by sud
dennoises or strange appearances Ghost
stories, extraordinary dreams, or other
gloomy and mysterious tales, must, on
no account, be named in their presence,
nor must they hear histories of murders,
robberies, sudden deaths, mad dogs, or
terrible diseases. If any such occur
rences are the subjects of general con-
versation, let them, at least be prohib-
tied in the nursery. Nor is it of less
importance that We shonld be cautious
ourselves of betraying alarm at storms,
dread of the dark, or fear and dis
gust at the sight of animals. The
stFicter vigilance in these respects is
required because, by casual indiscretion
on our part, by leaving about an inju-
dicious book, or one alarming story, by
once yielding ourselves to an emotion
of groundless terror, an impression
may be made on the mind of child
that will continue for years, and mate
rally counteract the effect of habitual
Watchfulness.

What to Teach the Girls.

Give them a good common school
education. Teach them to cook sensi-
BILE meal. Teach them to wash, iron,
darn stockings, sew on buttons, make
their own clothes, and decent shirt.
Teach them to bake bread, and that
good kitchen saves many a cent from
the apothecary. Teach them that one
dollar is worth one hundred cents, and
that he alone is saving who spends less
than his income, and that all others
who spend more must finally become
poor. Teach them that a calico dress
paid for looks better than silk one with
debts. Teach them that one round,
plump face is worth more than fifty
consumpti7e beauties. Teach them to
wear good strong shoes. Teach them to
make purchases and then calculate
whether the bill accords, Teach them
that they but ruin the divine image by
wearing tight cOrsets. Teach them
plain common sense, to trust In and help
themselves by industry. Teach them
that one honest mechanic, In shirt
sleeve. although without cent of prop
erty, is worth more than dozen of
richly-clad and hifalutln idlers. Teach
them to work in the garden. and to en-
Joy free nature. If circumstance will
permit, teach them music, painting and
all the fine arts, but give them to IN
derstand that they are matters of sec
ondary Importance. Teach them that
for promenading walks are better than
drives, and that the wild flowers, indeed,
are full of beauty for him who atten-
lively considers them. Teach them to
despise the mere appearance of things,

Deep-Sea Sounding S.

In lecturing recently before the roya
society on the Challenger expedition tc
the North Pole, Professor HUXLEY ad

would be done IN reference to the dis
tribution of life at GhS bottom of the
deep sea. The first instrument which
successfully brought up portions of
this bottom %gs used by Sir John Ross

it was not without reason that when in
1889 the admiralty fitted out an Antarc-
tic expedition Humboldt suggested that
attempts should be made to ascertain
the existence of an Antarctic cap of the

ForestryS

One-third of the land surface of our
globe is covered with forests. The
largest tree in the world is situated
near Musco1i, at the foot of Mt. HEtna,
and is called "The Chestnut Tree of
a Hundred Horses" believed to be the
Oldest tree in the world. It's name
arose from report that Queen Jane of
Aragon, with her principal nobility,
took refuge from violent storm under
its branches. At one time it was sup
posed that it consisted of a clTlmp of
several trees united. But on digging
away the earth the root was found en-
tire, and at DO great depth. Five enor-
nous branches rise from the trunk
204 feet in circumference, the intervals
between which are of various extent, one
of them being sufficient to allow two
carriages to drive abreast. A fig tree
stands on the northerly bank of the
river J0hnstone, in east Australia, lat
itude 81 deg, longitude ISL deg, near
Brisbane, measuring three feet from
the ground $50 feet, and at 55 feet,
where it sends off great branches, so

ence. The "Giant Redwood Tree, " in
Nevada, latitude 80 deg, longitude 129
deg, is 119 feet in circumference.
There are thirteen other trees standing
near it, measuring from 70 to 96 feet
in circumference. In OaXaca IS a
cypress tree measuring lit feet in CIR
cumference. The "Grizzly Giant"
the monarch of the Mariposa Grove,
measures 90 feet in circumference.
The Tulare Fresno Forest, so called
from it's being situated in those two
counties California;, extending 70
miles in length, with a width in some
big trees with multitude of smaller
ones, measuring from 6 to 120 feet IN
circumference. In 1852 John Dowd

space of fifty acres, measuring from 20
to 96 feet in circumference. There is
an elm tree in the south of England
which measures 81 feet in circumfer-
ence. In Norfolkshire there is famous
lime tree measuring 48 feet in circum-
ference. On the Hubbard farm, in
North Andover, stands a magnificent
elm tree, measuring 81 feet in circum-
ference. A barberry bush has taken
root in a notch thirty feet from the
ground, which can be recollected by
some of the oldest inhabitants during
their boyhood. At bingham, near the
Old Colony House, Is an elm tree

A SAVAGE HEAD-DREss AND Shield
We were shown this morning, by Mr..
Tom 'Brien, the paraphernalia of an
Indian recently killed on Devils river
by party Of stock men, Mr. John
Patterson being the man who assisted
the Indian to shuttle off his mortal coil.
The trappings consist of a head dress
of feathers, beads, etc., to which trail
Of red flannel was attached, adorned
with eagle feathers, and long enough to
have swept the ground. It is a Ror-
geous piece of architecture. The
shield has several buckskin coverings,
very artistically arranged with plumes,
stuffed birds, and little buckskin fig
ure of a man, which is supposed to be
an idol. In the middle of the shield
bangles the faxen scalp of white
