Learning to Walk.

People sometimes ask: At what age can
we seat q child i'll a chair; when put him
on his legs; how old must he be before
We teach him to walk? The answers are
easy. He must not be made to sit up till
he has spontaneously sat up in his bed
and has been able to hold his seat. This
sometimes happens il the sixth or seventh
month, sometimes later. This sitting DO
sition is not without danger, even when
he takes it himself; imposed prematurely
upon him, it tires the back bono and may
interfere with the growth, SO the child
should never be taught to stand or to
walk. This is his affair, not ours Place
him on 4 carpet i'll a healthy room or in
the open air, and let him play in freedom,
roll, try to go ahead on his hands and
feet, or go backward, which he will do
more successfully at first--it all gradually
strengthens and hardens him. Some day
he will manage to get upon his knees,
another day go forward upon them, and
then to raise himself up against the
chairs. He thus learns to do all he can,
as fast as he can, and no more.
But, they say, he will be longer in
learning to walk if nc is left to go on his
knees or his hands and feet indefinitely.
What difference does it make if, explor-
ing the world in this way, he becomes
acquainted with things, learns to estimate
distances, strengthens his legs and back,
prepares himself, i'll short, to walk better
when he gets to walking? The i'm
portant thing is, not whether he walks
now or then, but that he learns to guide
himself, to help himself and to have con-
fidence in himself. l hold, without ex-
aggeration, that education of the charac-
ter is going on ut the same time with
training in locomotion, and that the way
one learns to walk is not without moral
importance.-PopoldT Science Monthly.

Modern Conyenfeuces.

Sir Christopher Wren could never have
dreamed of the amount OF money that in
future generations would be expended
on churches TO afford the conveniences
which, in these days, are considered nee
essary for ordinary comfort. 1t is said
that $751; 900 is the cost of introducing the
new system of heating in Trinity Church
in this city. To afford opportunity for
the introduction of the improved system
of heating, by means of indirect radiation,
it was required that every piece of thing
in the church should be removed. When
this was accomplished trenches four feet
deep, and nearly as many in width, were
dug in the several aisles, in front of the
chancel, and at the rear of the church. In
these trenches conduits were built, by
means of which hot air will be conveyed
to all parts of the edifice. Beneath each
pew small iron pipe is inserted. con
nected with the conduit, through which
the heat will be distributed to a radiator,
concealed from view by u amolding of gall
yanized iron, painted to correspond with
the woodwork, at the base of the pews
fronting upon the aisles. Instead of OBJ
tanning the power required for operating
the new system from the Steam Heating
Company, the Trinity Corporation will
put in plant of its own.-4rchitecture

Heavy transactions and q Heavy Rise
in Price.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-The local
wheat market rose to 81 934 this morning
but the feeling was easier later in the
day. Some heavy transactions took place
on Change, and the shorts seemed quite
as active as the longs. A rumor on the
street to the effect that a broker had
failed developed the fact that S. w. Sears,
a member of the board, had been caught
short, and that some Of his contracts have
been bought in. 1t could not be termed
failure, all his engagements having
been filled to date. Under existing
arrangements, it is almost impossible for
a broker to fail for any great amount.
He is compelled to cover his margins by
cash payment as the market advances
or declines, and if the rule of the
exchange were carried out the money
would be deposited in bank subject to a
call on settlement accounts.
