Child Life on Canal-Boats.

One of the curiosities of life displayed
along the waterfront of this city, says
the n. Y. I$nnss, is the way children
are reared in absolute safety aboard
canalboats. Any person who takes
the trouble to visit Coenties slip or the
neiehboring docks where canal-boats
Law up can see every day the common
sight of a group of toddling children
playing on the open decks of the low
bulwarked boats, but he never hears Of
one falling overheard.
On one canal-boat, the Betsey Ann
of Whitehall, that lay In Coenties slip
the other day, was noticed novel ar
rangement for keeping the little oses
within the bounds of safety. On the
after-deck regular playground had
been fenced of for the youngsters by
building a high picket-fence, over
which they could not climb. This had
a swinging gate secured by hasp, sta
pie, and paddock. Inside of this in
closure were four children, who made
the air ring with their shouts, telling of
their unalloyed happiness and content
ment with the arrangement. On an
other boat, little way distant in the
same slip, was another queer arrange
ment to keep the little tots from fall
ing overheard. In the center of the
deck was fastened stout ring-bolt, to
which were fastened three stout but
small ropes. At the end of each rope
was stout leather belt buckled about
the waist of a rugged, sun-burned
youngster. The ropes were just long
enough to prevent the children
reaching the edge of the deck, but
were not too short to allow them ana-
pie room to play in. The children
seemed happy, too, and were not dis
tured particle by their tether.
On nearly all the boats the children
are allowed to roam about the deck at
will, both while coming down the river
in tow and while tied up to the dock.
Many of them are born aboard the
boats. There they grow up and in
many cases marry, selecting their
mates from aboard other boats, and
Immediately taking up the life followed
by their parents.
