The Method of Rearing Children.

The Sanitarian publishes a letter
from DR.. Noyes, who is in medical
charge in the Oneida Community, de-
scribing their method of rearing chill
dren-in which they have been pre-
eminently successful. He says:
Our system of nursing young chill
dren, if it can be called a system, is
nothing more than the ordinary one,
with some perfection in detail, which
is made possible by our combined
mode of life. An infant is cared for
by the mother in her own room dur
ing the nursing period, and for some
time longer. The nursing period
varies from eight months to a year or
fifteen months, according as the sea-
son permits. We do not thnk it ad-
Yisable to nurse longer than a year.
When the child begins to drink we
sometimes begin giving it oatmeal,
boiled two hours and strained through
a fine cloth, or pearl barley, with the
cows milk, which is generally from
one selected COW. Whether it takes
these preparations or not, we get it as
soon as we can on a diet containing
more or less coarse unbOlied wheat
-four, and as soon as possible we come
down to three meals a day, with moth
ing between meals. We give our
children ripe fruitfree yafterthey have
learned to eat solid food, and avoid
the habitual use of the bland, starchy
foods, arrOwroot, etc, as much as pos
sible. They eat no meat until five or
six years old.
At about fifteen months old the
mothers put their children into a nur-
sery during the day, retaining
them nights for some time longer.
In this nursery they are cared for
by experienced nurses, and at about
four years they enter the children's
department. The rooms the children
occupy have a south exposure, plenty
of light, no trees within one hundred
feet. Our house drainage is as good
as we can devise, and the entrance of
sewer gas in any form is vigilahtly
guarded against. Slop closets are
disinfected every morning after using,
and locked the remainder of the day,
being connected with a draught chin
ney. In word, we aim to give them
pure air, plenty of life in the open air,
pure food of a plain quality with very
little fine -four, with little or no medi-
cine.

sEad.House Mysteries,

Boston Cor. Chicago Journal.l
A few months ago a prominent citi-
zen of Boston was arrested and put
in the insane asylum. He was on the
point of going to Europe, having just
previously made his will, the contents
of which we're unknown to his family.
1t cost 1880 to get the same mar out
of the mad house. A few days ago
some legislation was advanced a stage
with a view to improving the laws re-
lating to lunacy in Massachusetts,,
more especially with reference to com
mitment, release and supervision.
There are 1900 persons confined in the
asylums Of this State, one-half of
whom are in private institutions.
Some of these private asylums are
used for the privacy of the
drunken sons Of wealthy parents
sons " who have gone to Europe for
their health" The certificate of
two respectable citizens will send
a person into an insane asylum
in this State, but in England
no person can be committed to
an asylum unless it is stated
why he is committed. Such a thing
as a trial by jury is unknown and un-
authorized in Massachusetts,. One
mar power runs the insane asylums of
this State. If man is charged with
murder he has an opportunity given
him TO prove his innocence; but a
sane person committed to an insane
asylum in this State has no chance 10
prove his sanity. Such a person can
only be released upon the say of the
person who caused his commitment.
The hospitals of Massachusetts, arc
one hundred years behind the age.
The scientific ring rules these insane
hospitals, and the laws which govern
the insane hospitals here are the worst
in the United States. In Illinois d
man had his wife locked up in an asy.
lum because she differed with him on
the FIVE points Of Calvin, but tbs
superintendent refused to hold her am
longer, and, foiled by the law, the husl
band tried for years to decoy her into
Massachusetts,, where no doubt he
could have had the woman |incarcer.
ated until her death.

but enthusiastic novitiate was passed.
During this period there came to him
a patriot of much influence and per-
suasive power to solicit a contribution
to an ostensible purse for a man who
was TO be favored with a petty Office.
The nature of this pecuniary surprise
from his friends to the new officer was
unfolded in all its glowing attractive
ness, and the young politician really
acknowledged his willingness to help
the fund, but did not know really how
much to give.
Van, how much ought | to give?"
said he.
"Oh, you can be liberal, but suit
yourself about that.
Will ten dollars dS?"
Make it twenty-five you can af-
ford it."
So twenty-five was contributed.
The week went on, the man was
appointed and installed in office, but
no mention of the presentation oc-
Cured. This was strange to the con
tributor, and after a while an oppor-
tunity was afforded him to ask the
solicitor of the fund what was done
with it.
II did not see that the purse was
presented"
Then he was startled by the infor-
nation that the money was used in
buying the appointment for the man
from the appointing powers. 1t cost
$500, and the officials yearly salary
amounted only to 5000. Since then
the contributor knows why funds are
raised apparently as a gift to some
favored official.

THE PALAIs BOURBON.
The Return Of the French Chamber Of
Deputies to Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph writes
There is but little doubt that the
chambers will soon return to Paris,
and that the deputies of France will,
after an exile of nearly nine years, re-
sumo their seats in the Palais Bour-
bon. A good number of anxious, not
to say fussy, members have visited the
palace with the object of a~fixing their
names to their seats but they we're
told that the palace would be arranged
In the same relative order as at present
adopted at Versailles. M. Gambetta
has more than once inspected the pal-
ace, and the official residence of the
former president of the chamber of
deputies is being prepared to receive
him. A writer in the Figaro declares
that, in gorgeous luxury, the hotel on
the quay d'Orsay rivals the abode of
an Eastern magnate, in which case it
must have been entirely refurnished
since the shah Of Persia dwelt therein.
The outside is familiar to all visitors

Young Mr.. French made his an.
pearance in Stanstead, Canada, half a
year ago, and took board in the village
tavern. He seemed to have no bust
ness, and devoted considerable of his
time to counting Miss LaPete, much
te the d~ispleasure of her parents, who
finally forbade him to see her. One
day French informed Mr.. LaPete that
he had made up his mind to 20 away,
and asked for the use of a horse and
wagon with which to get to the rail-
road station, ten miles distant.
LaPete was delighted with the pro-
posed departure, and readily lent the
horse and wagon, which were to be
sent back by a boy. Mr.. and Mrs.
LaPete waved French a joyful adieu
as he drove off, and were glad that
Miss LaPete was not there to show
regret. They aiterward learned that
she was curled up under. the wagon
seat, thus clipping under their very
noses.

In Russia the machinery of factories
and the engines Of railroads and
steamers are chiefly in charge of for
eigners, on account of the lack of sx-
perienced native mechanics. 1t is
now realized that this state of things
is neither economical nor patriotic /;
and besides there have been accidents
because the foreign mechanics and
engineers did not understand the Rus
sian language. In order to bring
about a change, the government, in
1871, ordered the railroad companies
to pay fifteen roubles per verst two
thirds of a mile) for the establishment
and support of railroad schools. About
10000 roubles a year are collected
under this order, and now there are
about twenty such schools. Twenty
more are to be opened this year.
These schools are situated on the rail-
road lines, and each of them is pro-
yided with a machine shop, where
every pupil is obliged to work not less
than three hours daily. The full
course requires four years. Each stu
dent chooses his specially as a me-
chanic, engineer or telegraphist. Be-
sides these there are FIVE conductors
schools. AS the railroad schools have
proved successful, other branches of
Industry are to follow the example.
Many steamship companies and fac
tories propose to establish schools to
secure experienced hands for their
service.
