Eir.t Love.

=. va 49, ..Lfe.2E-.=[t
People who marry while very young
are apt to find out when It is too late
that they have made the greatest mis-
take IN their lives and that, though it
may seem very sweet to marry "the'
first and only love-" this same first
love" is the very last person in the
world that they ought to have married.
Some, indeed. may advise couples to
marry before they are out Of their teens
and settle down before the distractions
Of the world cal attempt to shake their
allegiance to each other but this set
ting down too often proves to be a
mere temporary phase and is followed
by an unsettled condition that lasts for
the rest of their unhappy lives. Sec
ond thoughts are..o often best In love.

The Periods Of Grawth.

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state, not as tall as those born In SUM
mer and spring months, and the growth
OF children is much more rapid from
March till August. The extremities
grow rapidly up to the sixteenth year;
then there is a slow growth until the
thirtieth year. The legs chiefly grow
between the tenth and seventeenth.
years. Comparing the generalgresults,
1t appears that there are six periods OF
growth. The first extends up to the
sixth or eighth year and is one of very
rapid growth; the second period, from
eleven to fourteen years, growth is
slow; the third period, from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows a
slow growth up to the age of thirty for
height up to fifty for chest, girth;; the
fifth period is one of rest, the sixth a
decrease in the body. "
