Why NOtl

P1ay-days are over and work-days have begun. Troops of children have come back from the mountains they have explored, and the beaches they have excavated in mimic battles, with fresh faces and bounding spirits and have put on again the discipline oi school and home. A great new force accumulated in the long summer days is to be expended in the coming month; !; the vital force which makes character and intellect. When one thinks of the possibilities of growth among children in the next twelve months It is like get ting vision of a new continent full of all manner of fruitful and beautiful things. Every child is setting out on 8 new exploration into the great world which surrounds him, starting on a new conquest in the realms of knowledge which lure him in every direction and are for him as mysterious as the Dark Continent. Shall he stray and stumble in the strange country through which he journeys, or shall he have guides who will lay out routes that will take him through beautiful and historic scenes and bring him to the great cen. ters of human activity and achieve ment2
 Books that have been thrown aside for the sports of summer will be open ed now with new interest; long eve nings will be given to them and dark days will find sunshine and delight in them. These same books will teach af- ter school-hours are over, and will leave an impress more distinct and lasting than that of any except the greatest teachers What kind of mastery the child will make of the knowledge and secrets of living depends largely upon the books he will read in the next twelve months. It is not enough that he be kept from bad books-books that defle corrupt and demoralize-but he ought to be kept from all except the best books. You are not satisfied that the table you set for your children is free from poisons, that arsenic is not set out for food; you make sure that your table is supplied with the very best quality of the most healthful viands. This matter of food for children has passed into the care of science, and trained minds have devoted themselves to the discovery of the best articles and the bestmethods of preparing them. Is the mind less important than the stomach Will you watch carefully every sub stance that goes into the latter and let the child feed his mlnd without guid- ance or direction?
 There is an abundance of good men tal food in these days of many books; food that will stimulate without exc1t- ing the imagination; food that will strengthen without forcing the faculty 'Uf thought; food that will enrlch with out enervating the fancy; food that will develop observation and thoughtful ness. Watch over the reading of your children as carefully and constantly as you look after their eating, make your self theil companion and guide through the great world that opens so many ways of blessedness and so many paths of misery; turn the precious vital force in young hearts and heads to the ambi- tions and achievements that bring full ness of mental life and beauty of moral character. Why not?

Stopping Bullet With the Thumb.

Acurious and little-known experiment, showing the resistance of the air in guns, is described by Prof. Daniel Colladon, of Geneva. He was long in the habit of showing 1t to his classes. It resembles by soldiers with the old Swiss carbines. M. Colladon fully charged with com pressed air the hollow iron breech of an air-gun, serving as a reservoir. Having screwed up the gun, he introduced 8 round lead ball, running freely, but nearly filling the bore; then placing the gun vertically, he seized the upper end, and pressed his thumb vigorously on the mouth. The gun was then fired" by an assistant; the thumb remained in position, and the ball was heard to fall back in the bore. Thereupon after re- charging the breech and with the same ball, he shot the latter at a pine-board about one-fourth of an inch thick, or a pane of glass, and it passed through. The experiment, M Colladon says, is without danger if the operator is sure of the strength of his thumb, if the gun is more than thirty-two inches long, and if the ball is spherical and nearly fills the gun Gin which it must act like a piston). The least uncertainty in the very vigor- ous pressure of the thumb, and the her metic close of the gun, may entail ser ious injury to the thumb. While NJ. Colladon has repeated the experiment. twenty or thirty times without the least inconvenience either from shock or heat, trial of it is perhaps hardly to be recommended.

A New Use for Ministers.

A wealthy gentleman at Forest City Win1ebago county, being somewhat skeptical as to the amount of labor which a minister would be willing to do, offered to pay such clergymen as would saw his wood for him $1 per hour for their ser vices. He was considerably astonished when nearly all the ministers in town came marching forward with saw and buck prepared to accept his terms. Some of them have been working right along four to six hours per day, Sunday excepted, evel since, and their grit will probably last as long as the skeptic's wood. They have been paid promptly for their work.-Du6uQue Tunes.

A |" Square ' Meal.

A negro named Rom Lawson, of AL lensville, N. O., made meal of one and one-half quarters mutton, eighteen bis cuit, one pound candy, two half-grown chickens, five herrings, one loaf corn bread and piece of shoat supposed to weigh about one pound, drank three quarts of water, and said he hadn't eaten half enough. He then offered to bet he could throw any man, or lift more with 8 hard-stick than any man on the ground. In order to show his strength he took a man that weighed 200 pounds aud carried him about the grounds in his teeth. He then went up to another table and called for 25-cent snack.

Heart Disease.

When an individual is reported to have died of disease of the heart, we are in the habit of regarding it as an inevitable event, as something which could not have been foreseen or prevented, and 1t is too much the habit, when persons suddenly fall down dead, to report the heart as the cause this sllences all inquiry and investigation, and saves the trouble and inconvenience of post mortenl. A truer report would have tendency to save many lives. It is through report of disease of the heart that many an opium eater IS let of into the grave, which covers at once his folly and his crime: the brandy drinker, too, quietly slides around the corner thus, andis heard of no more in short, this report of disease of the heart is the mantle of charity which the pol itic coroner and sympathetic physician throw around the graves of generous people.
 At scientific congress at Strasbourg it was reported that, of sixty-six persons who had suddenly died, an immediate and faithful post mortem showed that only two persons had any heart affec- tion whatever-one sudden death only in thirty-three, from diseases of the heart. Nine out of sixty die of apoplexy -one out of every seven while forty six-more than two out of three-died of lung affection, half of them congestion of the lungs, that is, the lungs were so full of blood they could not work there was not room for air enough to get in to support life. It is, then, of considerable practical interest to know some of the common everyday causes of this con- gestion of the lungs, disease which, the figures above being true, kills three times as many persons at short warning as apoplexy and heart disease together. Cold feet, tight shoes, light clothing, costive bowels, sitting still until chilled through after having been warmed up by labor or long, nasty walk; going too suddenly from a close, heated room, as lounger, or listener, or speaker, while the body is weakened by continu- al application, or abstinence, or heated by long address these are the fright ful causes of sudden death in the form of congestion of the lungs; but which, be- ing falsely reported as disease of the heart, and regarded as an inevitable event, throws people off their guard, in- stead of pointing them plainly to the true causes, all of which are avoidable, and very easily so, as general rule, when the mind has once been intelli- gently drawn on the subiect.-HaWs Journal of Health.
