TEACH CHILDREN TO WORK.
1t VIM Help Them to Become Useful
when They Grow Up.

Ii WIN Help Them to Become Useful
when They Grow Up.
Teach the children habits of indus
try while they are yet very young,
and they will always be Industrious,
says Jenness Miller's Monthly. Give
them at first only very light tasks,
and try to find the work to which
each child :nclines. Don't let them
work so long that they become tired
and so disguised with all work, but
long enough to accomplish some
thing, and if it is of use so much
the better. Teach children that
there is time to be idle as well as
time to be at work. The appa-
rently idle time of the Systematically
busy man or woman is often the
most fruitful in results, for it is then
that many things are thought over
and planned. When it is possible,
let the children feel that they are
working for some definite end.
They wish to see the profit of
their labor as much as older people
do of theirs. Deny them that, and
the very highest incentive to habits
of labor is removed. A good and
industrious woman once said zone
of the most bitter memories Of my
childhood is that my mother, who
was one of the best and most con-
scientious women that ever lived
was without tact or Judgment as to
my tasks. On the long, beautiful
summer days, when | longed to be
at play, and when | ought to have
been, since there are always enough
dreary days in which to give child
work, she would give me two yards
and a half of unbleached muslin
which | was required to hem. 1t
was always stiff and rough and dis
agreeable, If it had been fine,
pretty work, | would not have
minded half so much. Those hens
had to be turned and measured and
basted, until my poor little fingers
ached, and my very soul rebelled at
the task. When my work was bad
ly done mad to pick it all out and
do it over; when it was well done
the piece was torn off without word
of approval and thrown into the rag
bag. | was in a state of bitter re-
bellion all the time, because my toll
was of no use to any one. When |
said so | was severely reprimanded,
and tod that children were no judges
of what was good or bad for them.
This is greet mistake, for children
are much cleaner judges than grown
people as a rule think them. Then

wrong and very cruel, but now ]

shoe. for Children.

Mothers who are obliged by reason
of economy to purchase shoes fo1
their children as cheaply as possible
should be particular in regard TO fit.
A writer in The Christian Advo-
cate says:
Compression of the feet in chill
dren, not less than in grown people,
works great many evils. Derange
ment of circulation, headache and
weak eyes result from wearing tight
shoes.
The motions of child should be
absolutely free, and every garment
and covering of the body should be
so contrived as not to detract in the
least from perfect freedom of circu-
lation and movement.
Keeping shoes on feet that have
outgrown them is very expensive
economy. 1t may result in lifelong
deformity and pain. Children should
never be permitted to wear high
heeled shoes. High heels keep GER
tain muscles Of the legs iiexed when
they should be tense and rigid, and
so disturb normal muscular action.

Days Five or six Hours Long.

AS the evidence of the earth 5
crust proves that our globe has
lasted for incalculable ages, it be-
comes of interest to think how far
the gradual elongation of the day
may have attained significant pro
portions since very early times. 1t
may be that even in a thousand
years the effect of the tides is not
sufficient to alter the length of the
day by so much as a single second.
But the effect may be very appreci-
able or even large in a million years,
or ten million years, or a hundred
million years. We have the best
reasons for knowing that in inter
walls of time comparable with those /
have mentioned the change in the
length of the day may have
amounted not merely to seconds or
minutes, but even to hours.
Looking into the remote past,
there was a time at which this
globe spun around in twenty three
hours instead of twenty four; at
still earlier period the rate must have
been twenty hours, and the further
we look back the more aud more
rapidly does the earth appear to be
spinning AT last, as we strain our
gaze to some epoch so excessively
remote that it appears to have been
anterior TO those changes which
geology recognizes, we see that our
globe was spinning round in period
of six hours, or FIVE hours, or
possibly even less. Here then is a
lesson which the tides have taught
us they have shown that if the
causes at present in operation have
subsisted without interruption for
sufficiently long period in the past
the day must have gradually
grown to its present length
from an initial condition in which
the earth seems to have spun around
four times as quickly as it does at
present. Good Words.

Looms ana Their Young.

The young on their appearance
take Immediately to water, swim
ming and diving in manner to
convince one that the water is their
proper home from the first. They
quickly learn under the tuition of
their parents to conceal themselves,
and in addition to this are also
taught to ride on the backs of their
mothers. 1t is most interesting to
observe the movements of family
soon after the young appear, and it
has been my good fortune to
twice observe them. Moth
ing could be more
appropriate than the perching of the
young on the broad back of the
parent, presumably the female, and
in this position | have observed them
with perfect security, propelled by
the tireless paddles of the old bird.
When the old bird apprehends
danger she dives, and the little ones
disappear with her. 1t was natural
enough that the young should at
tempt to follow their parents exam
pie, but after hearing that the young
ones reappeared with their protec-
tor, | was convinced that the old
one must in some way aid her off
spring III their flight, as
we may call it, through the
water. The good fortune came to
me at last to witness a part of the
performance, that portion that NOR
tails are allowed to see. An old bird,
accompanied by two young, was
seen in little bay on the lake, and
we FASTENED to press her to dive,
hoping to secure the young for ex-
animation after they were left alone.
When first observed the young were
at some distance from the mother,
but we're quickly brought to her by
a warning deep, stridnlous note,
when she observed the approaching
boat. She then lowered her body in
the water, and the young looms
quickly secured position on her
back. We now rowed rapidly, when
the old bird Owed, and we distinctly
saw the young disappear likewise,
each chick evidently having seized
hold of the feathers of the mothers
body, presumably the tail feathers.
1t is fair to say that the tail feathers
are the ones selected as tow ropes
by the young, as the little fellows
were relatively in the same positions
at the old birds rear when they came
up. AT least it is fair to Judge that
the young catch hold of the feathers
of the old one to facilitate removal
from places of danger. DIR. Morris

ROMANCE FROM RECORDS.
How an Indian Servant Girl secured Free

How an Indian Servant Girl secured Free
dom and Husband.
A recent examination Of the old
order books Of Henrico county
eduees an instance of love so faith
full that an account of it appears
worthy of presentation.
CAT May court, 1865, Mrs. -.
(sll names are purposely sup
pressed) brought before the wor-
shipfal justices of Henrico country,
her indentured servant girl named
Mary and charged that she had be-
come mother, thereby occasioning
Mrs. - considerable cost AS well
as her servants loss of time.
Benjamin "a name well
known and highly respected at the
present time), who was a young man
and son of farmer of moderate
means, stated in court that he would
be responsible for all expenses in
Cured for the nurture and care of
the infant. But while Benjamin
stood by and watched the clerk make
this entry and doubtless caught
glance full of love and gratitude
from the dark eyes of the Indian
girl, who was so ignorant and knew
so little save to love and trust him
entirely, he felt that it was impossi-
BILE to part with her, and at once
stepped out in front of the bench of
magistrates and made the request
which was the excuse of the order
next following, viz:
That as Mrs. and BENJAMIN
- had made agreement that he
should serve her as slave for one
year and should pay her GOO pounds
of tobacco; and that Mrs.
agreed that at the end of that time
Mary, her Indian girl, should be
free, and also that Mrs. had
agreed that the said Benjamin and
Mary might marry at any time they
choose, they, the justices of the
county court, confirmed these agree
ments, and ordered that if they were
carried out the said Indian Mary, at
the expiration of year, should be
free from all future service. Rich
