Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1885-03-05

Some people think it perfectly right
that children should he made TO eat
everything that is set before them; but
in carrying out this singular theory too
often the gravcst injury results. An
eminent city clergyman told me the
other day that the mere sight of liver
cooked in any form made him ill.
When quite little fellow his stern faith
er, who was one of the sort that would
permit no nonsense, rs he expressed
IL. with regard TO children's likes OF
dislikes as far rs food was concerted,
insisting that they should not exercise
any taste or choice in the matter, re-
quired him to eat some liver which had
been put on his plate. There was
something about the particular piece OF
liver that set the child against it, but
he was forced to swallow the repulsive
morsel, and ever since his stomach has
rebelled even at the thought of the
gross piece of tyranny which was prac-
ticcd on him. 1t is sound rule for all
of us that with respect 10 food our likes
and dislikes are the best guide as to
what is good for US, and it Is safe TO eat
upon the plan that whatever we relish
will prove on the average harmless and
wholesome, and whatever produces dis
gust will prove, as general thing,
indigestible. A recent writer on this
point has fully expressed my opinion in
saying that nothing can be more
wrong than to make children eat fat,
for example, when they don't want it.
A healthy child likes fat and eats as
much of it as he can. If he shows signs
of disgust at fat that proves him TO be
OF bilious temperament, and he ought
never to be forced to eat it against his
will. A good many of us have disor-
dered digestion in after-lifc simply be-
cause we were compelled to eat rich
food in childhood which we felt nstinc-
lively was unsuitable 10 us.

A Boys Differing Find.


Information has just reached this
city, says Lancaster, Pa, telegram Of
an excitement prevailing in the lower
end of the county over the discovery
made by boy while digging for a
skunk. About two feet below the sur
face of the earth the lad came upon n
bright, glittering mineral, lump of
which he snatched and carried home to
his father. The father took it to two
miners who had at one time mined in
California, and they unhesitatingly
pronounced it gold. Scientific men, to
whom the matter has been referred,
discrcdit the idea of gold existing as n
product of Lancaster county, but the
miners who examined the specimen
stake their practical knowledge against
that of theoretical mineralogists and
scientists generally. Father and son
persistently refuse to disclose the place
where the mineral-whatevc IL is
was found, but 1t is believed to have
been discovered on a farm in Fulton
township, and the people of that Sec
ton arc greatly excited about it.
