THE HUMAN FIGURE.-The proportions
Of the human figure are six times the length
of the feet. Whether the form is slender or
plump the rule holds good; any deVlatlon
from it is departure from the highest
beauty in proportion. The Greeks made
ali their statues according to this rule. The
face, from the highest point OF the foreneau'
where the hair begins, to the chm, IS one
tenth of the whole stature. The hand, from
the wrist to the middle finger, IS the same.
From the top of the chest TO the hlSnesO
,oint of the forehead. is q seventh. If the
lace from the roots OF the hair TO the chin,
be divided into three equal parts, the tirst
division determines the place where the
eyebrows meet, and the second the nostrlis.
The height, frolu the top of the head; Is Inc Inc
distance from tho extremity OF the nnseFs
when the arms are extended.

: GOOD EDUCATIoN.-We hear good
deal said in these latter times about 81 good
education, which leads us TO inquire what
good education is? Everybody III this
country is agreed that ii comprises the
ability to read properly and dramatically
the English language, and sui1icientknowl-
edge Of arithmetic to be able to answer ac-
curateiv any question III the Tour rules IN
that science. This is q good education us
f.rasit goes, :sud as far as school education
is concerned it is better than many VINO
claim to DC well educated nave attained 20.
Without these, education Is not Sood, al
though you are Yersed more or less III an tue
olocies and osophies mentioned III NeD5lerS
dictionary: with them, you have the Key
that with patience and perseverance VIII
unlock all the others. But even with those
sud tho addition Of all the learning taught
in the schools, but nothing more, the ed'i-
cation would he far from good education.
The education most needed at the present
dav is y practical one, and it Is also the
most neglected. The heaping on of ilashy
..ilain,nents for the purpose OF show, TO the
NEGLECT of the everyday neededpractical at
tainmcnts, is far too common, and no one
can be said TO have good education who
has not. in addition to The lore oft the schools,
:. knowledge of now TO earn their own liv-
ing. Everyone, male or female, rich or
poor, should be taught how to work in some
calling or profession that would procure
them livelihood, and until that is done
they have not good education. Educate
the mind that the labor Of the hands may be
more effective Educate the hands thatthe
education of the mind may be practical as
we'll as ornamental.
