A List of Important Maxims Concerning the
Care OF Children.

Care OF Children.

That overfeeding is the chief cause Of
cholera infantum and other forms Of bowel
complaint in young children.
That in summer it is often water, not
milk, for which the child is crying, and
that the stomach may already be danger
ously burdened.
That while the natural appetite of the
young is pretty sa guide, so long as the
diet is simple, rich pies and cakes and other
highly seasoned food tend to the habit of
over-eating, and lay the foundation for fu-
ture dyspepsia.
That the CHIEF damage by smoking-and
cigarettes are at least as bad as cigars-is
done within the growing age, while the
child is still under the influence of the
mother, and that the harm is most serious
upon that center OF Ii e, the heart.
That the chest is packed full with the
lungs and heart, and room is gained Tor the
imitation of the lungs only by wonderful
mechanism which lifts as the breath is i'm
hailed, and that it greatly imperils the health
and life TO bind down the chest, especially
in growing girls, whether with corsets or
tight dresses.
That the abdominal cavity is similarly
packed with its organs; that the liver alone
extends two-thirds across it, and that tight
lacing deeply burrows the liver, sometimes
cutting it in two, thin membrane alone
connecting the parts; that the full stomach
is thus often pushed up against weak
ened heart, and the pelvic organs are so
crowded as to produce serious and perma-
nent i'll fleets.
That the lack of vitality in many chill
dren, by which they are rendered peculiarly
susceptible to infectious diseases, is due to
a deficiency OF pure air in their sleeping
rooms.
That child's brain is not in a condition
for study befnre its seventh year. and that
when a child is precocious there is special
reason for holding it back. if it is to be
saved from brain disease, future dullness or
possible imbecility.
That no growing child should fail to have
at least nine or ten hours sleep in a we'll
ventilated room, and that no sleep is perfect
with light IN the room.
That children under II should not be al

Wales Deserted by Tourists in Consequence
of the Big strike.
rBY pUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANT.1
LONDON, August 8.-The report that
provisional settlement of the railway strike
in Wales had been effected, is not confirmed.
Latejn the day the railway men received
the offer of the directors, fixing 24o hours
month as the time for labor and decided to
adhere TO their original demands. Accord
ing to the latest accounts there is little doubt
that settlement will be made before long,
but meanwhile the aspect is very gloomy.
The railway stations are closed, and con-
sequently trade is paralyzed. Fourteen
hundred men and several thousand colliers
have stopped work, and seem determined
not to resume until their demands are ac-
ceded. The country is losing a great deal OF
money by the obstruction to tourists, who
have now quite deserted Wales going to
Scotland anu the Continent instead.

Origin of Gold Dust Deposits,

The origin of the gold dust in alluvial
drifts has long been puzzle to mining
authorities. While it is plain that some
of the grains of gold were deposited by
the same process as the other detritus, it
is equally evident that other deposits
of gold must be explained on some
other theory. George Sutherland, of
Adelaide, South Australia. has con-
tributed paper on the subject to Ma
ture, in which he says that drift gold
probably had it's origin in the salts, such
as chloride of gold, held in solution by
the water by which it was formerly sup
posed to have been merely carried from
one place to the other. These salts were
deposited in large quantities while the
Australian gold-felds were under water
in geological epochs, but how they were
afterward reduced has been explained
by no theory against which strong OBJ
jections have not been made. Mr..
Sutherland now advances the theory
that the origin of the deposition of gold
is to be found in thermo.electric earth
currents, probably generated by the un-
equal heating of the surface of the earth
by the suns rays in passing from east
to west. Many facts have been brought
forward in support Of it

Of any kind to any individual or corpor-

pecially strong and closing thus:

any milk out of them they will be tho
first who ever succeeded in SO doing.
