THE LAW OF GROWTH.
Some Very Useful Suggestions for Guidanc
 in Observation.

Some Very Useful Suggestions for Guidance
 in Observation.
 The rule of growth is that a child should increase two pounds in weight for every inch in height between three and four feet. and two and a half pounds for every inch weight between four feet and five feet. Any child more than seven pounds below the weight here given should be examined medically. A remarkable fact that comes out from the tables is that the boys at the public schools and young men at the universities and entering the public service, here called the up- per classes, average about three inches taller, and from six pounds to twenty pounds heavier than boys in the board schools and young apprentices and workmen. Two causes may be as- signed for this--frst, heredity, the one springing from taller parents. and. secondly. favorable surround ings. Deficient and improper food. town air, laborious work at early ages, all stunt the growth. Every one knows how change from close town to free country life. with plenty of exercise, stimulates growth. l have seen three and half inches thus produced in tour months where al means in town had signally failed bcfpre. A good rule for predicting future height is that if five feet is passed between ten and eleven years of age the child will be tall; if between thirteen and fourteen. of medium stature; if not till fifteen he will be short. Increase of weight is also largely due 10 climate. l remember an exceedingly-slim and elegant young lady coming to the north of London from the west of Ireland. In few weeks there was trouble with the dresses, and this continued, for the girl got so stout as 10 quite lose her elegant figure. Her friends were in despair. Banting was tried, but still she grew apace. Circumstances at this time required her return to Con- naughl, and in two months time, "i0h oic hau Sot lhorouThly Soakeu again i'll that humid climate, she wrote in triumph that the odious fat had all disappeared and her beautiful figure returned. Again she came to London. and as she gradually dried renewed troubles with the dresses began, and a' last the question became urgent whether she would be dry and stout in London or damp and elegant in Ire land. It is needless to say she at once chose the latter.

Personal Cleanliness.

Very many people do not keep the ,kin active and healthy as they ought. The fear of catching cold leads them to neglect to mai tain perfect cleanli- ness of the body. and as the functions If the skin arc impaired, the work of throwing out waste material which righlfullv belongs 10 it, falls upon the internal organs. They will bear the im- position for time, and will labor to do the work forced upon them, but sooner or later they become weakened by the strain. and then the waste of the system &C., cumulates within the body and assists in depressing the vital forces. Thus, by neglect to keep the skin in healthy state. many person becomes dull and sluggish and disinclined to mental or bodily effort; all the organs concerned in life share in the disturb ance. and become indOlent and torpid. The need to maintain perfect cleanli- ness of the body is. if possible, greater in winter than in summer-a fact which hut few appreciate; and 10 the neglect of this essential may be at- rhnied much of tn, sickness prevail. Ing In the cold weather, winch really ought to be the healthiest of tas year.

HOW TREES GROW.
The Most Important Factor in the Pro-
 ductiOn of Rings.

The Most Important Factor in the Pro-
 duction of Rings.
 The seventh Lowell Institute lecture in the course by Prof. G. l.. Goodalc was on Forests and Forest Products. |" He said that in explaining the process of tree growth it is of the first impor- tance to keep in view the function of the "camban layer"
 This is the soft layer between the wood and the bark It is not, as mi ght be guessed at first sight, mass of pulpy material, but is d tissue of cells. These cells, which are visible under the microscope, are, as thus observed, apparently all alikr. Yet they are divisible into two classes, &C., cording to the functions which they have to perform. Those cells lying nearest the bark contribute a perma- nent accretion to the bark and thicken it for the better protection of the tree as it's growth increases. The cells nearest the wood of the tree contribute in like way to the permanent fiber of the wood. winch is distinct in charac- teristics from the fiber of the bark.
 This cambian layer is in its most juicy and succulent state in the early part of the growing season, as is well know even 10 the school boy, so far as the willow tree is concerned. At this time. by slight effort, the bark can be disengaged from the wood, and it is the time for making willow whistles. But other tree growths are in like condition at inc same period as respects the cambian layer As the layer becomes more advanced in its annual progress it ceases to have this supplencss and goes more and more into fiber, either for increasing the thickness of the wood or that of the bark
 When the cambian layer wholly ceases its functions for the year the result is manifest in the ring which has been formed on the outside of the wood of the tree. Substantially it is true that one ring is produced each year. but now and then occurs a year when the process of formation has been arrested by canker worms or by extreme drought and no ring formed, or it is so blended with the ring of the preceding or succeeding year as not to be discernible except under the microscope. The variation of thickness in the rings is explained by the occurrence of conditions more or less favorable to the growth Tn different years. N r Sun

 INSPECTION OF MINES AND PRISONS of Siberia-the most thorough that had ever been made by a traveller. Armed with letters from the Russian Minister of the Interior and other high officials, Mir. Ken nan went everywhere, inspecting mines and prisons, convict barges and hospitals, and travelling with chained exiles along the great Siberian road. He made the intimate personal acquaintance of more than three hundred exiled "liberals" /" and Nihilists, many of whom wrote out their histories for his use. The actual facts, as revealed by this searching investigation, were far re- ideas, as this thrilling narrative of fifteen months privation and adventure will show.
 As is already known, the publication of MT. Kennan's preliminary papers has re- suited in his being placed
