There can be no accident because

it. And there Is nothing in the

HYGIENE FOR CHILDREN.
Sunny Bedrooms Give Health and De-
velop Growth, and Sleep Inn
proves the Nerves.

A medical journal says that an i'm
portant hygienic point which is too
often overlooked altogether in the Sc
lection of sleeping rooms for young
children is that of light-the light of
the sun shining directly into the room,
and not the reflected light of the wall
or reflector. The rays of the sun, with
their triple ualities-calorifc lumi-
nous and chemical-are indispensable
20 life and health, and to deprive chill
dTen of them is to prepare the ground
for phthisis. IN the city of Paris, H.
COO people die every year from tubercu-
losis, as against $4,000 from all other
diseases. The cause given for this
frightful mortality is that large pro-
portion of the lower-class population
live in gloomy, unsunned rooms, over
looking dark or cold courts or yards,
and lighted by transoms, or deriving
their obscure light from other rooms.
The light of the sun alone is not only
n powerful source of vitality, but it
Rctuates the cells of the BRAIN invigor-
ates the muscles, increases the pressure
OF blood IN the arteries, and gives the
feeling of well being, and the lightness
of body and step that characterize per-

feet health. To show how much more
stficacious than the administration of
medicine good air and light may be,
At is only necessary to take debilitated,
nnemic child, who has been living in n
cooped-up, gloomy room, and place it
in a goodsized apartment, into which
the sunlight pours freely. An immedi-
ate improvement in the child will be
observed.
The regulation of the sleeping hours
of children is not less important. DR..
Maurice de Fleury, who has made n
study of this branch of hygiene, says
that a child of from five to eight years
of age ought to sleep from eight o'clock
in the evening to seven in the morn
ing-that is, IL hours. child of from
eight to twelve years of age should
sleep from nine in the evening to seven
in the morning-or ten hours; child
OF from 12 to Is, from $3.50 in the even
Aug to $3.50 in the morning-or nine
hours. Later, it is well to accustom
them to eight hours sleep, and, eventu-
ally if the system does not demand
more, to seven hours. These rules are
for healthy children. Some children
are all the better for even more lib
eral allowance, and those who are sick
ly, enervated and eXcitable should have
half an hour or an hours sleep after the
midday meal.

THE APPLE ORCHARD.
Hill Location Is by All Odds the Best
and Safest In Almost Every
Locality.

The soil for an apple orchard should
be selected with a great deal of care.
1t used to be the idea that any soil
was good enough for the apple orchard.
and we find in many cases apple or
chards set out on soils entirely insult
ed for them. Some people have the
idea that the poorer the soil the better
1t will be for the apple orchard. This
opinion evidently arose from the eS-
perience of people in setting out or
chards on very rich land and finding
them unsuited for them. They quite
naturally inferred that if the rich land
was not good the poor land must be
good. But rich land is not suitable, for
growth of wood and not enough of fruit
buds. AS we say: 1T all grows to
toiliage!"
Land should be rich enough to insure
good growth of wood, but not too
rich to permit fruit buds to develop in
large numbers. Generally a meadow
will be found unsuitable, for the reason
that the saltwater stands so near the
surface that the roots are soaked dur
ing large part of the year. The water
does not have to lie near the surface to
do this, for. as is we'll known, the roo ts
of apple trees penetrate very deeply
into the ground, sometimes seven or
more feet. The hill location is gener-
ally best for the apple orchard, for the
reason that there is no underlying sheet
of water The drainage is natural and
rapid. and the roots are always able to
do their work without interference. A
medium clay soil is generally good, for
the reason that in it the fertility is held
till taken up by the roots. A sandy soil
gets rapidly poor, and when fertilized
teaches so badly that much of the
manure is lost
