EDUCATING The Brain.

sleep Said ts ne the Great Restorer of
Mental Activity.
There is almost no limit to what You
can teach yourself. If you only try long
enough. Time must always be given
to the brain, and on this condition
patient perseverance will carry u
student to almost any goal. Hurrying
the brains of a child is TO force a false
pace except with the obviously lazy;
but the bugbear of overpressure need
not be feared so long as the principles
controlling the health of the body gem
orally are observed. Overpressure
often means under feeding. Sleep is
the rest of the brain. its great rest A
variation in work, a change of subject,
is another kind of rest. the best work
often for the higher or intellectual
centers; and an immense amount of
mental labor can be safely undertaken,
if sufficient variety is secured. But in
the end the brain demands sleep. and
this is especially the case when the
lower or more animal centers have been
much used, as in children at play.
Habit has good deal to do with inSur
ing a good nights rest, the habit of
going TO bed at a regular hour. Hard
mental work up to the moment of re-
tiring may cause the loss of nights
rest and it is good plan to indulge in
little relaxation before bed time, like
piece of light literature. game or
some music Trivial things may win
slumber. such as lowering the pillow
or turning the cold side; but artificial
means of distracting thought have
nearly invariably proved totally useless.
Children require more sleep than
grown people. A healthy baby for the
/ first two months or so spends most of
its time asleep. After that n baby
should have at least two hours of sleep
in the forenoon and one hour in the
afternoon: and it is quite possible to
/ teach almost any infant to adopt this
rs regular habit. Even to the age
of four or FIVE years child should
have one hour of sleep, or at least rest
t in bed, before its dinner; and it should
! be put to bed at six or seven in the
evening, and left undisurbed for twelve
or fourteen hours. Up to the fifteenth
/ year most young people require ten
i hours. and to the twentieth year nine
hours, After that age every one finds
out how much he or she requires.
though as a general rule at least six TO
eight hours are necessary. Eight hours
sleep will prevent more nervous de-
rangements in women than any Inedi-
cine can cure. During growth there
must be ample sleep. If the brain is to
develop to its full extent; and the more
nervous, excitable, or precocious a
child is, the longer sleep it should get,
if its intellectual progress is not to
come to premature stand-still, or its
life be cut short at an early age. The
period of full maturity with its maxi
mum of mental activity is the period
IF minimum demand for sleep; but old
age reverts to the habits of childhood.
aud passes much of its time in slumber.

weakling who is forced to confess his
impotence in the presence of superior
strength. and who has naught but
craven submission to oppose to brutal
ity. "While we live let us live" says
the old Latin proverb. Good. But we
do not live while we fear. We exist in
state of constant deliquescence: and
when our heart fails us and our knees

Utilizing Waste Ground.

Land I'm this country has been too
cheap, and our people have been too
greedy to get hold of more than they
can use. to have our wastes properly
filled up. Quite often the richest land
on the farm, near the barn or house is
either idle or covered with weeds,
when it might be put to profitable use.
If farmers would occasionally look into
city and village lots they might find
instances of economic NC space that
would put them to shame. Trellises
for grape vines are built up high close
to houses, and yet far enough to allow
covered passage way that is most
pleasant at any season. and in the fall
is loaded with rich clusters of fruit
The poultry-yard even need not be de-
voted entirely to this use. Many have
learned that this is the very best place
to grow plums. Rhubarb may be
placed in some corner near the barn
too rich to grow any thing else. The
various out-buildings may be profitably
covered with trellises, not 10 allow
grape vines to fall upon and rot the
roof, but far enough to receive its re-
fiected heat The farmer who now
sets himself to thinking how he can
best put to use waste places around
his premises will in year or two be
wondering how he ever could have lei
