Longevity Aided BIZ Salt.

In a recent work by Professor Burg
grove, of Client, the prominent theory
maintained is that salt is the great regu-
lating agent of life, and on the proper use
Of which human longevity largely de-
ponds, it beng at any rate a great pre-
yentive of certain malades-if the blood
is too rich, salt will render it less charged :;
or if it is too poor, salt will reconstitute it
and restore to it the necessary elements.
Among the interesting facts cited by Pro-
fessor Burggraeve in celebrating his sub
!ect is that about the end of the last CEN
fury terrible epidemic, bearing some
analogy to scurvy, broke out in Saxony,
making such rapid progress among the
poorer classes that the Government Or
dered an inquiry into its nature and
course. The result was the establishment
Of a singular fact, viz, the miners, al
though reduced to the same misery as
other workmen, remained, with their fami-
lies, completely exempt from the malady
the diet of the miners differed from the
others only in one point, viz, that, being
employed by the State, they were sup
piled with salt gratuitously, the deduction
being that the absence of salt in the diet
of the other workmen was the cause of the
malay. Salt was then prescribed as n
curative measure, and the epidemic disap-
peared as if by enchantment.-N Y.

LITTLE FOLKS OF Brazil.

Child life IN every country differs, and
there are many things in Brazil to in
terest US. The houses have to be built for
comfort in the hot season-which lasts
much longer than with us-aud are large
and roomy. Slavery still exists, though
now being abolished, and besides the mem
hers of the family there are many slaves
and their children. Generally the slave
woman carries her child strapped on her
back with q shawl or cloth, while she
washes all day long or picks coffee, or goes
from door to door with Il heavy wooden
tray on her head, loaded with vegetables,
fruits, etc, which she sells for her master,
who gets the money. Meanwhile the
baby sleeps or cries, gaining little or no
attention. Sometimes the mother leaves
it at home with women who cannot go out
and sell or wash Then it plays all day
with other babies or with dogs, cats,
goats and pigs, in the dirt and filth,
sometimes having on a single garment
and often none. At night it sleeps on
coarse mating, with a rough blanket
thrown over it. Sometimes the baby
looks well dressed and fed, making it hap
Ply and content, but the general class of
babies are not so. They are generally i'll
cared for, siclly, dirty and burden of woe
in the beautiful dark eyes they lift so Ian
guidly to your face The life of a Bra
lillian child is much happier and more
occupied. While very small most of them
have black nurses, who are with them day
and night. After they get to be eight
years old they spend part Of each day in
public or private school-the boys at
tending a boys school and the girls one
especially devoted to girls. Here they
learn little geography, history, cate
chism, reading, writing, arithmetic, and to
speak and read well in French, German,
English, besides their own language, Por-
tuguese. The girls are taught music, GRO
Chef and fancy work, of which they are
very fond. In the country they have
private tutors or goyernesses.
All children like pets, | believe, so we
find parrots and dogs in these homes, and
always do we see iower-beds or pots with
pinks, geraniums, pansies, violets or some
sweet-scented herbs growing in them
When they visit a friend they carry to
them bouquet of flowers or some of the
sweet-scented leaves or little doce. as
they call it, which means candy. They
enjoy being remembered in this happy
fashion, and are most pleased when card
or book is added to it. When holiday oc-
curs-which is frequently, as there are
many national holidays and saints days
they have no school exercises; all govisit-
ing, or to some special church to say mass
to the saint of that day They pray to
the many saints, such as Saint John, Paul,
Peter, James, Antony, George, Anna, Isa-
bel, Louise-indeed, | cannot name them
all. While they pray the bells are rung,
fire-rockets are fired to attract and please
the particular saint of that day. | do not
see how he could enjoy such racket"
but they keep it up until away in the
night.-ErcLange

at S oh to fight the Indians
Upon the prairies wider
Said little Tommy Todd one night,
As on his bed, without light.
His bosom swelled with pride.
'Tll fill my lunch box to the top:
With my bean-shooter true
I'd rescue some fair captive maid
Hurrah I'm not bit afraid
OF all the red-skin crew.
He rose and donned his boots and cap,
Peered cautiously about;
Then TO his money-box he went
Extracting from it every cent;
Said he: ''Pll be scoutr'
"Ill be your pard" figure spoke,
Those Indians 10 kill

To wander to this coy nook:
I'm called there 'Blood-red Bill y
They climbed down from the window-sill
All in the moonlight sheen;
They tramped along in day. in dark;
He heard the lone coyotes bark,
That boy of Warklike mien.
"Whoop whoopr' a fierce, blood-curdling cry
Now chilled him to the core
He saw the Indians downward sweep;
And Tommy Todd began to weep
And sigh tor home once more.
"Cheer up, old pard,'' yelled Blood-red Bill.

"Whoop, whoopr' Oh, please let me go home, -
Tommy pleaded with a scream;
And Weakened by the milkman's shout.
From his warm bed he tumbled out,
And found it all dream
Now lurid stories he eschews,
And warlike doesn't feel;
That peaceful sleep may close his eyes,
He eats at supper no more pies
Which proved his Indian meal

THE sLEEPERs.
Rair ur,a linz ,.n.,Ah h1aa q

Behold them slumbering side by side,
Fair smiling youth and hoary age;
One dreams or worldly pomp and pride,
Where men q goddess warfare wage;
The other dreams of summer bowers,
Bright sunshine, warbling birds, and flowers.
One brow is marked with lines of care,
Which shows the world-worn spirit grieves;
The other CLEANS meath clustering hair
Like a fair star through quivering leaves.
One heart is grasping, proud and cold;
The other generous, warm and bold.
One breathes long, weary sigh,
And dreams of earthly gain or loss,
As with keen, suspicious eye,
He counts once more his glittering dross;
The other bounds with joyous tread
Der fields of clover white and red.
A groan escapes the old mans lips,
A groan of mingled rage and pain.
For, 10 his schemes, like phantom ships
Have vanished meath the treacherous main.
He stretches forth one wrinkled hand
To find his treasured hoard but sand.
From parted lips of tender bloom
A trill of merry laughter steals,
Whose fairy music fills the room
The happy boy in dreamland kneels
Above a little crystal stream,
Where PUSHES wave and pebbles CLEAN;
And he beholds with sparkling eyes
His ship-a water lily-glide
Beneath the rosy-tinted skies,
Right bravely down the dimpling tide.
His bark no sordid hopes doeth bear,
But dances on, he cares not where.
Hark now the dreaming wording speaks:
1.-The path to wealth, how drear, how long"
All r. cries the boy, with glowing cheeks,
" How lovely is the skylark song,
High-soariug mid the blue above,
Forever singing, God is lover"
And when the morning sun shall rise
To charm away the mists OF night
The boy Will greet with gladdened eyes
A world OF beauty bathed in light,
For fond mothers morning kiss
viii ope its golden gates of bliss.
But the poor wording, what of him?
VIII ne not seek the busy mart,
Like some gaunt specter stern and grim,
No JOY within his withered heart
For life is empty, vain and cold
To him who only seeketh gold

Exceedingly interesting is the process o.
language development in a babe. No study
in anthropology is more fertile The
babes first cries are purely instructive
and therefore purely animal Its conso.
nants are m and b, labials and liquids
used with the open vowels 1t does not
use the genial tubercle, nor for many weeks
the frontal brain. It's second lists of
sounds move further back and are Q, goo,
gutterals Of the simplest sort. This g
sound, with its natural associate, !, be-
comes the well-known basis of all print
tive languages-the clicking or clicking of
Amos and Hottentots.
Next observe the babe as it watches your
mouth and laughs at your cooling and your
baby talk. 1t finally sets its own articu-
lating organs in motion and initiates you
The consequence soon is the simple use of
the frontal brain and the genial tubercle.
The goo goo is followed by ell ell and che
che, and soon after by meditation. These
are not only the first use Of truly human
organs. but the first cerebrated sounds, as
distinct from instructive and inherited ut
terances. The steps toward highly cere-
brated language are thereafter rapidly
taken.
We have to bear in mind that the babe
organically follows historic evolution and
is an epitome of past progress. So also in
his speech he moves ON and over the path
way of the past and reviews it ALL An
intelligent child expresses appreciation
by the same sounds that are used by
adult monkeys. The savage hardly
uses cerebrated sounds at all. The refine
ment of languages has ever consisted In
eliminating the animal inheritance The
child's use of gestures is his hands; only
to secure muscular strength to di-
rect them. His play is at first purely
animal froiic, rejoicing in shouts and
shrieks that later he does not find neces-
sary to his enjoyment His laughing and
crying can be understood as language, as
they surely are also in adults.-Popular
