CrOwding Children.

"Ounie asks the Tribune how old
children should be before they 20 to
school, and is there any danger in crowd
ing them; If so, what is it2 According
to Froebtl, a child should begin to 20
to kindergarten when two and one-half
years old. At seven he begins his stud
les. In most, if not all the States. chill
dren of four years are considered old
enough to 60 to school, but every parent
should be the judge of his child's school
age. Some children learn to read as
they learn to talk; others are very slow
in developing any taste for letters. The
great danger to the little ones in send
ing them to school comes from close,
bad air, constrained and unnatural posi-
tions, and enforced quietness. The
menta! and physical elasticity of child
hood is greatly impaired by rigid and
continuous routine. Growth is the first
law of childhood, and neither mind nor
body should be SO constrained that ex-
pansion in any normal direction is rem
dered difficult. At three years of age
John Stuart Mill began the study of
Greek, but he studied at home, ID had
no infiexible rules of position and de-
pertinent to observe. The military drill
observable in some schools looks we'll
on parade, but it makes more automatons
than geniuses. 1t is very desirable that
children should learn to read ut an early
age, in order that they may h ave the in
finite resource of books at command.
If they can learn this at the mothers
knee, and then have a supply of juvenile
books to feed their growing hunger for
knowledge, this will be better than mere
scholastic drill.
The tribune. [volume] (Beaufort, S.C.) 1874-1876, 1876-03-22
The Breakfast Hour.

The philosophy of breakfast seems to
be perplexing one. According to some
theories it is best to take light nip Just
after waking, and sit down to substan-
tial meal after lapse of two or three
hours. The Sanitary Record (English)
sanctions our American custom of q
substantial meal soon after rising.
Let healthy man really "break his
"fast " with a substantial meal, and not
break his breakfast with irritating little
pips or slops beforehand. After the
stomach has at its leisure emptied itself,
during sleep, of its contents, and sent
them to repair the worn tissues and ex-
hausted nerve force, and the blood has
been ventilated and purified by washing
and dressing with the window open,
then is the time when the most perfect
of all nutritive articles, farinaceous
food, can be consumed in largest quanti-
ties with advantage. Butter also, and
fat and sugar, troublesome customers
to weak digestions, are then easily coped
with, and contribute their invaluable
aid to performing the duties of the day.
For example, many persons can drink
milk to a fair and useful amount at
breakfast, with whom it disagrees at
other hours. And the widely adver-
tised "breakfast bacon by its name
warns the consumer against indulgence
later on in the day. Cafe au lait and
sweet, creamy tea are to many men
poisonous in the afternoon, though in
the prime of the morning they are q
wholesome beverage to the same indi-
viduals.
Let the vigor, good humor, and re-
fresbment, then felt by healthy man,
be utilized without delay in eating a
hearty meal Immediately after he is
dressed, and not fritted away in the
frivolities of other occupations. Let
not reading, writing or business
cular, political, or economical-exhaus
the nervous system. The newspaper
and letters should not be opened, prefer
ably not delivered, till the appetite is
thoroughly appeased.

How they Gather COcOanuts.

Cocoanut forests of thousands of acres
are spread over the plain back of Gale,
In Ceylon. The treesrun up without knot
or limb from thirty to eighty feet to the
branches that bear the fruit. A matur-
ed tree is only about one footto one foot
and a half in circumference at the base,
and it maintains nearly this size all the
way up. How is the fruit gathered at
such height The coolies climb these
trees like squirrels they place rope
around the legs near the ankles, 80 as to
hold them in position around the tree,
and then without spur or other artificial
help they climb up with. astonishing
celerity, gather the fruit and drop it on
the ground. A single tree produces
about dozen coooanuts, and the coolie
harvester is allowed one for gathering
the fruit of each tree. These cocoanut
forests are really beautiful, presenting
symmetrical growth, graceful proper
tions and charming shade. The fruit
itself with the inclosed milk affords
healthful food and cooling drink it is
q source of considerable revenue from
export /; the fiber of the shell is largely
utilized for the manufacture of cloth and
rope. Next to coffee, the cocoanut isthe
most important and valuable product of
this island.

How they were Fooled.

Some years ago, when DIR. Hayes had
returned from his first Arctic exploring
expedition, a poster appeared one morn
ing at every prominent place in a town
in the interior of Pennsylvania announc-
ing:
ga free lecture in Republican hall
on Thursday evening, seven o'clock,
april let, 1s-, by DR.. Hayes, the
great Arctic explorer. All are invited. -
Long before the appointed hour the
hall was crowded, and the audience on
the alert to catch a glimpse of the great
man who was to give them great intel
lectual treat all for nothing. They
waited and watched anxiously for over
an hour, and then sent for the manager
of the entertainment, but he couldn' t
be found anywhere. At length some
one proposed to get up a collection to
raise funds to induce the doctor to come
over from the hotel; but no one seconded
the motion. Meanwhile, at the outside
of window at the far end of the hall,
gradually arose placard with the
words: "Aprl Fools" in large, black
letters. For time this was unperceived
by the vast audience, but they haven't
heard DIR. Hayes to this day.

A Spring Garment.

The blouse basque is tasteful aud
simple garment, to which an air of nov
city is given by adding the blouse fronts
and belt. To do this the basque is first
made complete in every part, except
that the standing collar is not sewed on.
This basque, says the Bazar, has long
side forms behind, with seams begin
ming on the shoulders and extending to
the end of the basque, without added
fullness on the tournure. To prevent
this back from looking too plain, a sash
of the material is sewed into the side
form seams and tied low down on the
middle seam in loose long -looped bow.
The fronts have two darts, are buttoned
from the throat to the waist, and fall
open below the waist. A wide belt of
four upturned folds of the silk begins in
the seams under the arms, and is fasten-
ed by three small buttons and button
holes. The blouse fronts are then
made of two straight pieces of the dress
material long enough to reach from the
throat to the belt, and each about two
and half fingers wide for busts of ordi-
nary size. The sides are plainly finish
ed with half-inch hem done in blind
stitches. The upper part is shaped out
to fit the neck, is gathered and tasted
to the neck, extending back to the
shoulder seam. The sides are not sewed
to the basque, but are left quite sepa-
rate; the front parts lap sufficiently to
conceal the buttons of the basque be-
heath, and appear as one straight gath
cred piece. The lower end is straight,
and after being drawn up with gathers
to much smaller space than the top,
is bound, and the binding is tucked
away out of sight under the belt. The
effect of this simple blouse front is to
give full and graceful roundness to
the bust, and also to add very pretty
trimming. On cashmere dresses trimmed
with silk the blouse is of silk. On silk
dresses it is of the dress silk, or else of
the velvet, lace, or tulle used for trim
ming. The standing collar is then add
ed, and the waist is completed. Very
girlish dresses made with the blouse
front dispense with collar of the dress
goods, and have instead narrow stand
ing gathered ruffle of the material
around the neck, and above this the
lace frill or linen collar appears. The
plain coat sleeves have cuff headed by
bias folds.
The tribune. [volume] (Beaufort, S.C.) 1874-1876, 1876-03-22

to dawn on his eye, first the sloping
roof, then the massive chimneys, then
the front of the edifice, and then its
windows, all crowded with soldiers in
their crimson attire, whiskered face ap-
pearing above face, with grisly musket
and glittering bayonet, thrust out apon
the air, while with fierce glances the
hirelings looked forth into the bosom of
that fearful mist, which still, like a
death shroud for millions, hung over the
lawn, and over the chimneys of the
house.
The young officer came steadily on,
and now he stood some thirty psces
from the house, waving his white flag
ON high, and then with an even step he
advanced toward the hall door. He ad-
vanced, but he never reached the hall
door. He was within the scope of the
British soldiers vision; they could have
almost touched him with an extended
flag staff, when the loud word of eom-
mand rang through the house, q volley
of fire blazed from every window, and
the whole American army saw the fog
lifted from the surface of the lawn, like
vast curtain from the scenes of mag
nificent theater.
Slowly and heavily that curtain up
rose, and hail storm of bullets whistled
across the plain, when the soldiers of
the Continental host looked for their
messenger of peace.
They beheld a gallant form in front
of the mansion. He seemed making an
effort to advance, and then he tottered
to and fro, and his white flag disappear
ed for a moment; and the next instant
he fell down like heavy weight upon
the sod, and hand trembling with the
pnlse of death was raised above his
head, waving white flag in the air.
That flag was stained with blood; it was
the warm blood flowing from the young
Vjrgipian's heart.
Along the whole American line there
rang one wild yell of horror. Old men
raised their muskets on high, while the
tears gathered in their eyes; the young
soldiers all moved forward with one sud
den step; a wild light blazed in the eve
of Washington; Wayne waved his drip
ping sword on high; Pulaski raised his
proud form in the stirrups, and gave
one meaning glance to his men; and
then, through every rank and file,
through IN every column and solid square,
rang the terrible words of command,
and high above all .othor sounds was
heard the voice of Washington:
"Charge, for your country and for
vengeance-charge I"
