Habitual Posture.

Comparatively few persons have both
sides of the body of perfectly similar
proportions. One leg or one arm is
shorter than the other. The two sides
of the head are often of unequal size.
Few persons have ears of an equal size
and symmetrically placed. The size and
position of the eyes vary. In the mouth
and throat also we find inequality, and
the cartilage separating the two nasal
cavities is oftener detected than ver-
teal
This condition of inequality in the
two sides of the body is called asym-
metry.
Those who have observed the effects
of school life on body development must
have noticed the influence of habitual
posture Oh the symmetry and health of
the body.
There is a tendency among school
children, and especially among school
girls, to assume habitual postures both
in sitting and standing. The habit of
throwing all the weight of the body on
one leg produces corresponding throw
ing of the upper part of the body toward
the opposite side in order to establish
the necessary equilibrium. This tends
of course to curve the spinal column,
on which the upper part of the body is
supported.
In this position the body and all the
internal organs are thrown out of their
normal vertical position, and the force
of gravity sill further exaggerates this
result. Thus the muscles of the neck
are unevenly exercised in the uncon-
scious balancing of the head upon the
vertebral column. Even the muscles of
the face tend to become unevenly con-
tracted, and this in time develops con-
dition of asymmetry of the face

superstitions Of children.

AS might be expected supersti-
tious fancies take a peculiarly firm
hold of the minds of children. In
the pockets of plenty of scholars at
our public schools will be found a
smooth white pebble, carried for
luck; around the necks of plenty
more will be found red string tied
to keep off throat diseases, while a
large proportion could not comfort
ably pass by pin or a horseshoe
without picking it up lest i'll luck
should ensue.
At a certain school, the yard to
which has no gate, but instead an
open space divided by row of three
posts, the girls believe that whoever
passes between the middle post and
one of those next it will fail in her
lessons that day, and a girl who has
unthinkingly done so will turn back
and enter a second time, going care
fully between an outer post and the
end of the fence. This superstition is
handed from class to class and bids
fair to flourish for many years as
part of the information acquired at
the school.
No one knows how the idea start
ed; no one takes pains to observe if
it holds true; but what has either of
these matters to do with believing in
it2-Exchange.
