SITTING UP STRAIGHT.

Children should be taught to sit erect,
especially if they are growing rapidly
says writer. When tired or in posi-
ton for rest, let them lie down, and en-
tirely remove the strain from the muscles
of the back.
If young persons who suffer from
dizziness or headache are carefully OBJ
served, it will frequently be noticed that
their position is faulty. The curved
form of the spine results in the pulling
of the muscles at the back of the neck,
and the difficulty is quite certain to be
removed by correcting the habit of sit
ting.
Growing people and children alike are
inclined to fall into the very habit Of
sliding down into chair, and sitting for
hours with the spine bent almost in
lf-circle. That this is injurious thou
sands of people who indulge in it never
so much as dream, but that it is the
cause of many serious ills those who
have investigated the subject are we'll
aware. The continual strain upon one
side of the spinal column, with the cor
responding compression on the other,
gives rise to nervous difficulties and
affections of the brain. Dizziness, nau-
sea, and blind spells are not infrequenty
the result of this practice. While the
strictly upright position is undoubtedly
the most healthful, it seems rather hard
work to persuade the young and indo-
lent to maintain it,
Remember, that portion of the human
anatomy generally known as the back
bone was intended to be worn in an up
right position, and the constant pressure
of the sectious of the vertebre upon
each other is productive of various ills.

THE NEW MINERALOGY.

The study of the properties of miner
als-physical, chemical and optical
carefully made and verified over and over
again, but the question of origin was
unsettled; in many cases it was even i'm
possible to conjecture. So it's devotees
sought means of revealing and proving
this problem of origin, and then arose
what we may term the new mineralogy.
Germany and France have equal share
in the honor of founding the science of
mineralogy, but to France belongs the
credit of original active investigation
into the origin of minerals. This feature
of new sciences is becoming quite prom
inent, and one would infer that there
was very great awakening in the sci
entific world, for we hear of the new as
tronomy. the new chemistry, and the new
geology, but it is not SO much new sci
ence, as old science studied by new
methods brought about by the great
underlying law of the universe, progress.
sion, which causes the new of today to
become the old of tomorrow. The new
mineralogy endeavors to solve the prob
lem of origin by the reproduction, artifi.
cially, of the mineral, using similar
agents and like conditions. as in nature.
While attempts were made to reproduce
minerals early in the century and even
near the end of the preceding one, the
important work has been done since the
year 1850, which date may be taken as
the beginning of synthetic mineralogy.
Through the eighteenth century came
many suggestions on the artificial for
nation of minerals. followed by the crude
attempts at the reproduction of petrifac.
tions and incrustations. Unsuccessful
attempts finally led to the successful re-
production of marble by James Hall in
1901, the first neurological synthesis
and the beginning of experimental ge
ology.-Popular Science Monthly.

CHILDREN.

1t is great mistake to think child
can be trained into any shape desired.
Inherent nature is there and it will make
itself manifest.
saw this illustrated yesterday. Two
children. four or five years old, were
playing out on the grass before my win
dow. After awhile laid aside my pen
and fell to watching them. Then it was
that 1 beheld one child calmly pulling
the heads and legs off from grass hop
pers, and the other child picking the
pieces up and crying bitterly over them.
Going out to reinforce her and inciden-
tally rescue whatever hapless grass
hoppers that might remain whole, l
beheld another scene in the tableaux.
The fearful child was digging a grave
and tenderly laying the dead grass
hoppers in it, while the other one was
looking around for new victim on
which she could lay her vandal hands,
when she espied the family cat and sud-
denly cut part of its tail off with a pair
of scissors. | was as much astonished
as the poor cat, and when / recovered
myself and proceeded to give her what
she deserved, good shaking, she did
not cry but seemed to be rejecting on
revenge, and she is now probably salts
fed for I have made the pleasant dis
covery that she has cut seven circular
pieces out of the best dress l have in
the world.
Moral persuasion" has no more effect
on her than summer zephyr. 1 some
times think it stimulates her to new
ways of showing how mean even little
mortal can Womankind.

few months. One day the merchant
called upon his tenants. and sat convers-
ing with the young woman, who said to
him:
"Mr, B, your grounds never looked
SO beautiful as they do now, and your
flowers are the center of attraction in all
this neighborhood."
EYES," said he, Mrs. D., they give
you as much pleasure as they do me.
Now, you are young, and just starting.
Let me tell you something. When / was
young. and worked hard at my business,
and had a small house like this, with my
wife and neice, and went home to my
meals, l was happy man. Now 1 do
not know how much an worth, but my
wife is dead, and my niece is dead, and
my son has died, and | have so many
irons in the fire, so much to see to, so
many things to manage, that | can't
sleep. My health is poor. | am lonely,
and haven't an hours happiness from
one weeks end to another"
How often such things are said An
ancient writer told but the simple truth
when he charged three vanities on what
the world has to fer-disappointmen
in pursuit, uncertainty in possession, and
dissatisfaction in enjoyment.
1t is not sermon that we are preach
ing. These incidents have occurred ex-
actly as stated amid the busy hum of
metropolitan life. They are repeated
over and over again. They have been
common to every age, for the psalmist
said: There be many that say, Who
will show us any good?'" A Il he could
say was. and all that we can say is:
Lord, lift thou upon us the light of thy
countenance." Perhaps better state
ment than that is this: Goodness is
profitable unto all things, having prom
Use of the life that now is. and of that
which is to come" The promise how
ever, for this life does not mean an en-
larging estate wi h houses and lands,
honor and ease. 1t means that "all
things work together for good to them
that love God" And that is the all-in-
elusive promise for the life that now is
"a promise that obliteratee disaster,
sanctifies sorrow, and glorifies success
