Mothers often complain that their
ch ldrcn are wakefu and restless at
night. They seem we'll during the day,
but, as soon rs they go to bed and fall
asleep, they moan, cry, CRATE the teeth,
rub the nose, and roll and thrash nearly
all night long AS rule such symptoms
are thought to be caused by worms and
the unfortunate victims are freely
uurged with "worm nc iicines," with ii
view of curing their nocturnal "tan.
trums.' Now, in nine cases ont Of ten,
the whole tronb e is caused by indigcs-
ton and constipation. The child goes to
bed with its stum CHI fun of indigestible
food. The qua'lty an quantity of food
it has taken during the day has been
unit for its powers of digestion. and
therefore acts as constant irritant 10 its
cnirc system. The irritation of its
stomach AMI bowels by indigestb'c food
excl,es the brain and spinal cord, and
through these the whole system is kept
in y state of excitement. "IIencc, then,
it is provcrbil in early life that the
stomach being delicate and susceptible
to any disturbance, we shoaId be most
careful to select a proper diet, 10 con-
slider the quality Of food that is sup
piled, to measure the capabilities of the
digestive system, and to deal with them
accordingly"

POPULAR SCIENCE.

In insects, the sex of an individual is
not determined until toward the end of
the larval stage. Entomologists who
rear moths and butterflies contend that
when the food supply is scanty the ma
jority of perfect insects produced are
males, while if food is superintendent
females preponderate.
Heretofore, in planting salmon, it has
been Gust binary to place the little fish in
the streams, aud allow them to care for
themselves; but the new idea of placing
them in protected preserves, where they
can be cared for by the people living
near at hand, and their growth to the
proper size assured. will, no doubt, revo-
lutioniZe salmon culture.
Measurements of the heights of clouds
have been made at the Upsala OBSERVE
tory during the past summer. The re-
suits are approximately az follows:
Stratus, 1000 feet; nimbus, or rain
lus, from 4, 300 to $4,000 feet; cirrus,
%, 400. Cloud measurements are always
somewhat uncertain, but these figures
arc considered fairly exact.
The Prince of Monaco is making a
systematic study tf the ocean currents.
Lest July he sank a large number of in

barrels at different points north of the
Azores, each floating vessel containing a
paper in different languages, stating the
time and place of immersion, and beg
ging the finder to note down the hour
and place Of discovery, and forward it
to the nearest French consul. Now three
Of these bottles have been found in the
Eastern Azores, having foloweda south

the southwest, as expected.
The continents, according to Mr.. John
Murray of the great Challenger eypedi-
ton, have an average height of about
900 feet above sea level, and occupy five
sixteenths of the earth's surface. The
seas 'abyssmal regions occupy about
half Of the earlh's surface, and have an
average depth of three miles In the
Pacific the greatest depths are to the
south and east of Japan, where there are
abysses of over five miles; and in the
Atlantic the greatest depression of a lit
tie over four miles is to the north Of the
Virgin islands. Tie great Dream basins

A polar current appears to defect the
Gulf Stream from the shores of the United
States and the British provinces, and ln-
terpose a cold wall of water between the
land and the genial warmth of the cur
rent from the tropics. These refrigerat

Newfoundland, AMI by building dam
across the narrow straits OF Belle Isle
about ten miles wide and averaging $50
feet in depth-Mr. John G. Goodridge,
Jr., suggests that the polar stream might
be turned aside into midocean. Then,
it is believed, the Gulf Stream would
skirt the American coast and materially
change its climate from Cape lIatteras
to Newfoundland, freeing the gulf of

Legal Age of Majority.

By the Roman law the period of in
fancy lasted till the seventh year, child
hood continued till the hubble or mar
riageable age, which for macs WAS four
teen, and females twelve, and during
the period Of adolescence following,
males were allowed to IN mage Their own
property, make will, or contract mar
rage independent of the consent of par
ents or guardians, but the age of majority
was not reached until twenty five. BY
the English law, VIII CHI has been in force
since Anglo-Saxon times, there are two
great periods into which life is divided
infancy, which lasts in both sexes I'M
til the twentyirst year, and manhood or
womanhood But the period of infancy
is divided into several stages, marked by
the growing development of rights and
obligations. Thus at twelve years of age
a male may take the oath Of allegiance,
and at fourteen both sexes are held to
have arrived at years of discretion, and
may therefore choose guardians, give
evidence in court, and consent or disa
gree to m rriage. A female, indeed,
has this latter privilege from her twelfth
year, but neither sex can legally marry.
without the consent of parents or guar
dams, until the age of MI jority has been
relched. At fourteen, too both sexes
are fully responsible to the criminal law /;
but under the age of twcnty-one ne ther
can execute valid will At the latter
full legal rights and become liable to a |
legal obligations. In Scotland minor
between the ages of fourteen and twenty
one has more personal rights than in
England at the same age, as he can dis
pose by will of movable property make
contracts, carry on trade. and marry
without the consent of guardians. In
France, by the Napoleonic code, males
may marry at the age of eighteen, and
females at fifteen, with the approra. of
guardians; at sixteen minor may devise
one half of his or her property; execute
the will of another, and at t. enty-onc,
full personal and legal rights arc granted.
In the United States the English law is
generally folio we'd. A guardian may be
chosen at fourteen. and the "ge of ma
jority, which gives free disposal of per.
sons and property, is usually fixed for
the sexes at twentv-onc. though in some
of the States females are considered, "rf
age" in legal point CT view, at eight
cen. The age at which male C tlzeas are
allowed tho franchise right differs in diff
ferent countries. In Switzerland AMI
Hungary it is twenty; in the Unitcd
States, and most of the South American
republics, Canada and Great Bri ain, it
is twenty-one; also in Belgium, France
Italy, Portugal and Sweden. In Hol.
land it is twenty three; in Austria,
twenty-four; in Spain, Norway, Pruss,H
and nearly all of the German states,
twenty five. and in Denmark it is thirty.
