Growth OF Children.

An English scientific paper remarks as q
curious physiological fact that although
open air life is so favorable to health, yet
it has the apparent effect Of stunting
growth in early youth. While the chill
dren Of we'll to do parents, carefully hOus-
ed and tended, are taller for their age than
the children OF the poor, they are not so
strong In after years.
The labOrers' children, for instance, who
play in the lonely country roads and fields
all day, whose parents lock their cottage
doors when leaving for work in the morn
ing, so that their offspring shall not gain
entrance and do mischief, are almost inva-
riably short for their age. The children OF
working farmers exhibit the same peculi-
arity. After sixteen or eighteen, after
years Of hesitation rs 1t were, the lads
shoot up, and become great hulking broad
fellows, possessed Of immense strength.
Hence it would seem that indoor life forces
growth at the wrong period, and SO in
jures."
By the way OF comment on this the
Scientific Americas says:
The inference is plausible, but is wide
of the mark. The children OF the we'll
TODD are tall not because they are kept
indoors, but because they are well fed and
saved from severe exposure. The chill
dren Of the poor are stunted not by too
much sun and air, but because they are iii
fed. Give the first class plenty Of outdoor
play, with their proper diet, and they will
be strong as well rs tall; give to the labor
ers' children the food suitable to their
years. and no amount Of sun and wind
will stunt them. On the contrary they
will not have to wait till age brings capa-
CITY to turn strong food to bone and mus
Gle, and time to overcome the evil effects
Of the hard times in early life; but will
grow from the first steadily and sturdlly."

A Life Riddle Solved.

Once upon time, the conversation hav-
ing turned, in presence of DR.. Franklin,
upon riches. and q young person In the
company having expressed his surprise
that they ever should be attained with such
anxiety and eolicitude, instancing one of
his acquaintances. who, though in posses
sion Of unbOunded wealth, yet was as busy
and more anxious than the most assidu0us
clerk in his counting house; the Doctor
took an apple from q fruit basket and pre-
sented 1t to little child, who could just
totter about the room. The child could
scarcely grasp 1t In It's hand. He then
gave it another, which occupied the other
hand.
Then choosing q third, remarkable In re-
speet to size and beauty, he presented that
also. The child, after many Intellectual
attempts to hold the three, dropped the
last on the carpet, and burst into tears.
"See there. said the philosopher; there
is little man with more riches than he
can enjOy!"

Berkshire swine rs a large hog -distin-
guished by its color. which is sandy or
whitish brown, spotted regularly with
dark brown or black spots, and by having
no brstles. Tho hair is long, thin and
somewhat curly, and looks rough; the
ears are fringed with long hair around the
outer edge, which gives them q ragged,
feathery appearance; the body Is thick,
compact and well formed; the legs short,
the sides broad, the head well set on, the
snOut short, the jowl thick, the ears erect,
the skin thin, the flesh firm, and well fla
vOred. the bacon superior"
The Berkshire Is recOned the very best
of the suns genus, and has become gen.
eral favorite with the southern people.
Its walk Is erect and stately, and its gen.
eral bearing 50 different from other varie-
ties that q person having once become
acquainted with 1t, cannot ever after mis-
take It. The breed, Of course, varies con.
sidersbly in size and appearance under
difference Of treatment, locality, etc., and
according to the degree Of purify Of blood.

the arena; every 0ne heard WhH was
going On. and On N aldes Wl9 one general
rain Of iioucis, waving Of handkefchiefs
and mantilIas, and fUir 6f cheers and salu-
tatious. FeEmina, overcome by the s1ir
and excitement, leaned her head On Men
eudez's shoulder: and Queen Isabella, Who
had already appeared With al her train In
the royal box, turned TO ask her young
general, Serrano, about the two people who
were creating this extraordinary enthusi-
asm.
The Handsome general, as they used
to call the future victor Of Ac0lea, came
forward and said. In his most dulcet and
respectful tones: 1T Is young married
couple, your Majesty; the wife the hand
soonest girl in Seville, and the husband
fine fellow, who has done honor to his An
dalusian lineage. Having in q fit Of jeal-
ousy MORALLY offended his fancee with an
insulting placard, and seeing no other way
Of return to forgiveness and affection, he
gained his point by giving her casket con-
tanning the pen, broken, with which he had
written; under the pen a sheet Of paper
inscribed, with his own blood, .ErpiatiOn;'
and under the paper-his right hand!"
While the queen turned her Opera-glass
upon the pair, the trumpets rang out, the
crowd gave q mighty shout, and the first
bull from the stables OF his Excellency the
Marquis de Veragua plunged with roar
into the arena.

The Republic Liberia.

The recent experiment OF sending q new
deputatiOn OF negro colOnists to Liberia
has ut least one good result. 1t has been
the means Of disseminating much correct
information in regard to that country.
The letters Of the correspondent Of the
Charleston Ners and Courier, who went
out on the bark Asor, are full of interest.
He says the army Of Liberia consists of
about 8, 500 soldiers, indifferently equipped.
Militia service is obligatory on every male
citizen between fifteen and fOrty-five years
Of age. The navy consists OF one sailing
vessel Of $50 tons burden, manned with q
few small guns, chiefly six Founders. A
trip up the st. Paul river in a boat rowed
by KrOOmen gives occasion for vivid de-
scriptiOn of the interior country. The
KrOOmen are harmless barbarians who
understand the English language well
enough to swear with facility. They have
no religion to speak of, neither worship
ping God nor idols. They have, however,
civilized weakness for money, and spend
it In adjoining themselves with tawdry
ornaments made Of glass, brass and bone,
and buying such store Us they can COM
mand OF tobacco, cattle and women. Some
few OF these people can read and write
and some have travelled in foreign coun-
trios. OF honor or gratitude they have
no conception and their capacity as liars
is Unreasonable. The acquisition Of q
wife is costly affair, the commodity be-
ing regulated in price by tho demand and
the demand being good. The dress of a
KroOwOman consists of a single piece of
cotton cloth of home manufacture wrap
ped around the body. If she happens to
have an infant, the child is enveloped in
the folds Of the cloth, and is conveniently
tied in front. The Vel tribe, living near
MonrOvia, are described as splendid spool
mems OF physical manhood, tall, erect
and well-prOpOrtiOned. On Sundays they
dress themselves in European raiment,
but on week days wear the one garment
of loose cloth. Their women dress as the
KrOOwOmen and are not remarkable for
virtue. The Veis are honest. They will
not steal, and have made great progress
toward civilization.
