Startling Facts As to h Development oi

Startling Facts As to the Development oil
the Body During Childhood.
During the international medical con-
ference held in Copenhagen in the sum
mero of 1884, apaperread by the Rev. Mall
ing Hanson, principal Of the Danish in
stitution for the deaf and dumb, was
listened 10 with marked attention and
interest. 1t gave the results Of the daily
weighing and measurements of height
which he had carried on for nearly three
years on the 100 pupils-seventy-two
boys and fifty-eight girls-of the institu-
ton, and demonstrated facts as TO the de-
velopment OF the human body during
the period Of childhood that perfectly
startled and astonished the assem-
bled medical authorities, opening an en-
tirely new field for investigation and re-
Election.
Since then Mr.. Hanson has continued
his observations, and, though he has vet
a tremendous amount of work before
him, he believes himself able TO state
now the outlines Of the results he has OBJ
tanned. The children are weighed four
times daily in patches OF twenty-in the
morning, before dinner, after dinner,
and at bedtime-and each child is meas
ured once a day. The common inn
preston is, no doubt, that increase in
bulk and height OF the human body dur
ing the years of growth progresses evenly
all through the year. This is not so.
Three distinct periods are marked out,
and within them some thirty lesser
waverings have been observed. As for
bulk, the maximum period extends from
August until December; the period of
equipoise lasts from December until
about the middle of April, and then fol-
lows the minimum period until August.
The lasting increase of bulk or weight is
all accumulated during the first stage;
the period of equipoise adds to the body
about a fourth Of that increase, but this
gain is almost entirely spent or lost again
in the last period.
The increase in height of the children
shows the same division into periods,
only in a different order. The maximum
period Of growth in height corresponds
TO the minimum period of increase in
bulk, and vice versa. In September and
October a child grows only a fifth of
what it did in June and July. In other
words, during a part of the year
autumn and beginning of winter-the
child accumulates bulk, but the height is
stationary. In the early summer the
bulk remains nearly unchanged, but the
vital force and the nourishment are ex-
pended to the benefit of height. While
the body works for bulk there is rest for
the growth, and, when the period of
growth comes, the working for bulk is
suspended. The human body has. conse-
quently, the same distinctly marked
periods of development as plants

ter's Stomach bitters is on a far higher
plane in the category of medical prepare
tons than the so-called tonics which i'm
part a relish for the food. These have
their use, and are estimable, provided
they are pure. But the scope OF the rem
edial operation ofthe bitters is far wider.
1t reforms entirely an enfeebled condi-
ton of the stomach, and purifies its juices,
if vitiated, as well as promotes their Sc
erection in healthful abundance. The
stomach having, in conjunction with the
liver and bowels, been regulated, and their
natural tone restored through Its agency,
appetite returns as a matter of course.
Fever and ague, poverty of the blood and
consequent debility, rheumatic ailments,
and a tendency to kidney and bladder
troubles, are also remedied by it.

The christening dress of the first-born
of the young Princess di Galatro Colonna
formerly Miss Eva Mackay) is perhaps
the most unique specimen extant of the
finest point d'Alencon lace OF great
beauty and rarity. The dress, made as
a loose slip, is bordered with antique lace
of a quarter of a yard in width, the re-
mainder of the garment being woven to
correspond, and having the arms of the
Colonna family designed in lace upon
the corsage. The Princess Anna Murat
declared that the dress surpassed in
beauty the famous christening robe Of
the late prince imperial.
The lace is the most superb hat has
been seen in Paris for years. Even the
wedding ~fiounces Of tile queen regent OF
Spain can not be compared to it. Mrs.
Mackay. the mother of the princess. has
a collection of lace that surpasses any Of
the royal houses of Europe-so it is said,
at any rate. She possesses the cele-
brated tunic and fiounces in point
d'Alencon manufactured for the Empress
Eugene in 1869. This lace was copied
from a piece originally in possession OF

Mis- takes Of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen Of
them. Most people would say, If
they told the truth, that there was no
limits to the mistakes of life; that
they were like the drops in the ocean
or the sands of the shore in number,
but it is well to be accurate. Here,
then. are fourteen great mistakes:
1T is q great mistake to set up our
own standard Of right and wrong,
and judge people accordingly; to
measure the enjoyment Of others by
our own; to expect uniformity of
opinion in this world; to look for
Judgment and experience in youth;
to endeavor to mould all dispositions
alike; to yield to immaterial trihes; to
look for perfection in our own ac.
tions; to worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedied; not to
alleviate all that needs alienation as
far as lies in our power; not to make
allowances for the infrmities of
others; to consider everything i'm.
possible that we cannot perform; to
believe only what our finite minds
can grasp; to expect to be able to
understand everything. - ScientIfc
