The Growth of Children.

The year of greatest growth in boys
is the seventeenth; in girls the four
tenth. While girls reach full height
in their fifteenth year, they acquire
full weight at the age of twenty.
Boys are stronger than girls from
birth to the eleventh year; then girls
become superior physically to the
seventeenth year. when the tables are
again turned and remain so.
From November to April children
grow very little and gain no weight;
from April to July they gain in height,
but lose in weight, and from July to
November they increase greatly in
weight. but not in height. British

each possesses a charm to which the
other returns with u ncver-ceasing de-
light.
The older friend smiles over but re-
joices in the freshness and ardor, the
eager anticipations and daring I'M
petuosity OF her companion. she
speaks no word of discouragenuent. 1t
is beautiful, this demanding youth.
this splendid audacity, to which all
earthly achievements are possible. 1t
is the highest earthly wisdom to
recognize that all this enthusiasm is
needed for the lessons which divine
wisdom shall teach.
And the younger woman, pouring
out her hopes and expectations, her
passionate longings and wistful inag-
inings, feels strongly the mellow grac-
iousness which experience has
brought. Dimly she wonders at the
contert which is always the most puz-
zling to the youthful heart. Content
lnent should only be found upon
mountain peaks, she thinks.
Yet the large-hearted charity which
endures all things, believes all things,
and hopes all things is an ever-re-
freshing surprise. Sometimes as she
breathes its fragrance the vague
question stirs:-''Is it possible that
this charity, this content of them
selves, are attachments? Is it SO?
Can it be? All, no."
No. not yeti For youth is the
longing; for age, the knowledge that
the longing was never meant to be
satisfied here. Each is best for its
W time. In such a friendship each
grace finds its complement in the
other.
