Effect of Sun and Moon ON Steel.

A curious fact has recently been noted
by the fine steel workers at Sheffield,
England. It is this: Fine edged tools
assume blue color and lose all temper
if exposed for any considerable length of
time to the light of the sun either in
summer or winter. A similar effect is
exercised by moonlight, large cross
cut saw with which the experimenters
were working having been 'put out of
shape and its temper ruined by single
nights exposure to a first quarter moon. "

The Ideal Training of "A Boy.

All experience, / believe, says Thomas
Davidson in The Forum for July, shows
that the early stages of education can be
far better carried out in the family, I'M
der the eyes of parents, than in the school
or even in the public kindergarten.
child's character is practically formed for
good or for evil, during the first seven
years of its life, and it is then that the
utmost thoughtfulness and watchfulness
on the part of parents are demanded.
During this time, education should, as
far as possible, be unconscious, and there
fore should be carried on by those
ethods and means which may be APP
piled uneonsciously.
A child ought never to learn conscious
ly anything that it can learn unconscious
ly, never be instructed in anything that
it can acquire by imitation or hsbitua-
ton. Ii is the failure to observe this
principle that is the crowning defect of
the Frpbelian kindergarten system as it
is practised in America. 1t may be set
down, as a general truth, that all knowl-
edge or habit consciously acquired is
prosaic. insecure, and dead, compared
with hat which comes through uneon-
scious imitation. 1t is the latter that is
the storehouse OF poetry. The daily life
of the family, with its manners, CONVEX
sat ion, occupations and interests, is now
the main teacher; and as this is, so VIII
the world and life of the child be.
The stupidity sentimental notion that
the child must. under any cireum-
stances, have good time las the
vulgar phrase isl, causes many parents
to allow children to follow their natural
caprices, wasting their interest and aftec-
tion upon trivial or even hurtful things,
and disregarding those that are worthy
and beneficial.
There is nothing that the child is so
thankful for in the long run as the care
full and kindly training OF his affections;
there is not hing that contributes so much
to his moral wort and happiness. Closely
connected with the result of this training
is t hat sef-control which is the essential
element in moral autonomy. In the child
this takes he forms OF sustained atten-
ton. and courage to carry out his wishes
in defiance of difficulties and instructive
shrinkings, forms both of which will be
found of the utmost value i'll the subse-
Quent course of education.
Ii ought to be observed in a boy : ed
ucation, that foreign travel with Amerl-
can tutors is netting very different
from foreign residence with foreign tu-
tors. The latter is always to be strongly
deprecated, as tending to render boys
not only unpatriotic, but also insensible
to W hat constitutes the worth OF Ameri
can life.
There is nothing which so sharply dis
tinguishes American boys from all Others
as their freshness and purity of life, and
these qualities are likely to suffer from
contact with European-esp ecially with
French and German-boys. \ European

Catholic Statistics.

"Sadlier'S Catholic Directory for
1894, publication which purports to
be official, gives the following statistics
in regard to the Roman Catholic church
in the United States: Archbishops lG;
bishops, 70: priests, s, 6o6; churches,
S,512; chapel. and stations 800; COZ
leges 116; academies, G37; parochial
schools, 3,6lo; pupils in parochi.a
schools, GS. 49S: charitable institutions
655; Catholic population, S,S06, 64s
While these figures show the Catholic
church to be one of the greatest reli-
gious bodies in this country, it must be
remembered that the remarkable growth
of the American Catholic church has
been largely at the expense of the
church in Europe. While the church
appears to be fairly successful in retain
ing the allegiance of its members, it
has made comparatively few converts
from Professionalism. 1t was expected
that the propaganda of the Paulist Fa-
theirs, which was undertaken some time
ago, might result in a Protestant land
slide, but thus far the expectation has
not been realized The chief factor III
its growth has been Catholic immigra-
ton from Europe, and this is likely 70
be so for some time to come. New

and some prophets, and some evangel-

But the objects for which these gifts
were given was not simply the enjoy

should be built up and this object could
only be obtained by building up the in
