Farm Work For Imbeclies.

The State OF Ohio has decided 10
inaugurate n new experiment in the
treatment OF imbeciles. Hitherto these
weakminded unfortunates have been
housed in great asylums, where under
the constant care OF trained attendants
they have received elementary class
room instruction. While this system
developed the intellectual resources Of
the imbecile, weak aud. wavering as
they were, there was no opportunity
TO build up the physical energies.
Gymnasium exercises failed TO meet
the requirements.
The State Legislature has recently
appropriated $3.50, 900 for the purchase
Of farm and the establishment Of an
imbecile village in connection with it.
Instead Of a great asylum there will be
great number Of cottages, each in
charge of a competent attendant. II
is proposed TO develop the minds OF
the members of the colony by class
room work and their bodies by out
door exercise in practical farming.
They will thus have the same mental
stimulus as before and will also have
the advantage Of pure air. physical ex-
ercise, and the healthful incentive OF
sustained work along practical lines.
The result Of the experiment will be
watched with interest. Pathfinder.

THE CoCKATOOS,

The cockatoos are remarkable for
the powdery surface of their wings,
and the crest on the head, which can
be raised or depressed at pleasure,
The sulphur. crested cockatoo is an
inhabitant OF New Guinea. Its color
is white, aud the crest is of sulphur
yellow. It's white plumage glancing
among the dense dark foliage Of its
native forests, imparts a wonderful
beauty to the scene; aud rs Sir Thomas
Mitchell remarks; amidst tho UNI
brageous foinge, forming dense
masses Of shade. the white cockatoos
sported like spirits Of light" This
cockatoo is easily tanned. and is Of u
very affiectionate disposition. When
in captivity it has been known to live
to the age of 100 years. It's nest is
built in hollow trees, and the crcvices
of rocks. The eggs are white. The
length OF the bird is about eighteen
inches.
