Reason amttho experience of others, if not their own, and Hot their appetites, must determine the amount of food they take. The inactive person should feel, when he ceases ating, that he can eat ranch more. He should never indulge in eating when lie has in his stomach a feeling of fullness and oppression. If children are. very hearty eaters their food should be of the simplest and least stimulating kind, and thus preventing their eating more tiian the aj'stem really needs. Tho lirst reason for consuming food should be necessity, and the second may be the gratification of the appetite. Usually children have appetites so strong that they need no stimulants, no condiments, as spices, pepper, or mustard. These articles should be reserved for the failing appetite of debility and age. They are BOt nutritious, and are useful only by way of increasing the appetite ana promoting the full digestion of what is oaten. They may stimulate the nervous system, and so sh6uld be avoided in all inflammatory teadencies of the systom. The excessive use of sirups, sugar and molasses .may induce fermentation in tho stomach and long oanal. In 'moderate quantities they are useful, and sometimes are strongly needed. Articles preserved in sirups should he sparingly taken, as they are usually not easy of digestion. The lessons we wish to give are: 1. That health and growth demand that the amount of food should vary with the amount of exercise. 2. That the kinds of food shoujd be such as may supply the needs of the system. 3. That the amount of food should be no more than can be easily digested. iVn"e Fanner. m m A New Risk for Railway Travelers. We record one of the most extraordinary calamities that ever occurred, even on a railway. Two express trains leave St. Pancras in the evening one at 8:30, the other at 9:15. The latter h the Scotch Express, and passes the former at Leicester. On Saturday night the driver of the Scotch Express reversed his engine at a place called Great Glen, a few miles on the London side of Leicester, in order that the other train might have time to shunt. Beoeiving a signal to the effect that tho line was clear, he again started; but he started backward, lie had forgotten that the points of his engine were reversed, and, incredible as it seems it is said that neither he nor hi) stoker perceived that they were going, wrong "until they ran into a mineral train on its way to Leicester. The result of the coljisloa was that a bogey carriage in the express was telescoped, as the phrase is, through the four adjoining compartments. Happily no one was killed on the spot, but five passengers were injured, and one is in a dan Serous condition. Until a full inquiry as been made it would be unfair to. ward the driver of the passenger train to i speculate on the cause or onuses for his strange conduct. It may be hoped that there was some exceptional clement in the carte. Otherwise a new and horrible risk will have boon added to the danger of railway traveling. London Netcs.

Elsib Bake u was sitting on a log in tho wood-shod, gloomily Ustoniug to her brother Joe, who was talking with much enthusiasm. For I tell you, sir," said ho to Elsio, "it isn't every boy who'll get a chance to bo in that procession to-nisrht. sir. There'll bo a thousand torches, and speeches, and fire-works; and the train leaves Porter's Corner at six o'clock: and Mr. Hill says to mo, You be on hand, Joe, you "and Jack Stone, and you may go to Portland along of the vvuwiuumu auu U11UU11 UKlll B1UU of the Hag, and woar white rubber capos, and carry a torch aniece if vou like.' It's to be the biggest show of theseason, and" "1 canYgo ' burst in Elsio. " Just because I'm a girl I can never go anywhere or see anything." "u: course not," assented Joe, choerftilly. "Girls never can. I go because father's in Ohio, and Tm tho man of the family. I declare I shouldn't wonder if half the people in Portland should think Jat'k and I could vote when they see us mrcemna. Throe cheers for Hanfield!" Hanfield? Hanfield? That did not sound quite right Joo meditated. HautioldP Well, never mind. There was no time to wstste ovor names. If Joe would help toward tho election of rrcsiuont of the United States he must be off and away for Jack Stone, or the two would miss tho train. And Elsie? Poor little Elsie was loft forlorn. She was quito alone, for her mother had gone to visit a sick neighoor, ami wouiu not even be at home for tea. "Oh, why shouldn't a rirl do iust what hur brother does, and have some fun?" thought Elsie, bitterly. "Or else why wasn't T born a boy?" She sat olose to tho andirons in front of the wood fire, and more and moro dismal did she grow. She liad nearlv come to wondering whether it was realy worth while to live if one had to be only a girl, when the front door burst opon, and in bounced Master Joe. "Elsie," cried he, grasping her by tho arm, "here's your chance. You can go." "bo? go? ' repeated Klsie. Hush n? crimson with excitement. . Joe hurried on. "Jack Stone's sick. Earache both ears onions on 'em tore's his cap who'll know you're not i boy? tuck up jour skirts on with his big cape cornel" Elsie was beside herself. "Mother wouldn't let mo," she half gasped. "Did she ever say you mustn t?" arS tied Joe. "Like as not we'll be back efore she is. Don't be a goose. There's no time to talk. Hurry! hurry! I You won't get such another chance." Her eyes flashing, her brain in a i Whirl. Elsie pulled the blue cap over j her short curls. Her little petticoats ' were quickly pinned up and covered by j the rubber capo. With hor uulightcd ! torch over her shoulder, who would not have thought her a sturdy youugcr brother of the boy who held her tightly by the hand, and exhorted her not to let the grafs grow under lier fuet. Down the road they liew, ami reached the station just as the "Continentals" came marching up with' fife and drum, "Here we are, Mr. Hill," said Joe. presenting himself and his companion. "All right," said Mr. Hill, too busy to pay mueh attention. " Keep with the rest of thojnen. How are you, Jack, nay bov?" There was no time for the makebelieve "Jaok, my boy," to answor. The engine was puffing and panting. Elsio was swung ,on the train, whero Joo and shu tucked themselves away on a back seat. The "Continentals" were in the host of liumor, so were the " Philbrick Pioneers," who, gorgeous in their Zouave regimentals, catae crowding into the car at the next station, to crack jokos and talk politics. Pretty soon the train stopped with a jerk, anil everybody was out m a twinkling. There were shouts of command. Tiie "Continentals" and " Pioneers" fell into line. Torches were lit. A host of boys set up shrill yells. Joe and Elsie wore twitched into place by onergetio Mr. Hill, and ordered to hold up their heads aad keep time to the music. "Isn't it fun?" thought Elsie, step-' ping briskly along, and grasping her torch with both hand. If one hundred torches were " fun.4' j what could bt said wlie tliey reached

Market Square, where the grand pro

cession wa to lonn, ami wnere there was a blase of light such as Elsie had never imagined! Hands were playing, horse wert prancing; some one selltre to a son oi powcier, ami ioi tne whole street was rosy reu. Now everything was ready and the march began. Whole blocks on each side were festooned with buuting anil Chinese lanterns; candles twinkled in every pane; all the gas burners did their beet; Knman can tiles shot out colored stars; rockets went up with a fiaz. "Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!" The procession was musing in front of a big Nobody could understand half he said. No matter. "Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!" Elsie shouted with tho rest, aud trottetlgally on. 'No reason in thu world I shouldn't have conio, like any other boy! Hurrah!" Up ono street and down another, each more brilliant than thu last, Elsio marched on, till suddenly a small, then a larger, pain began to make Itself felt in one of hor foot. "lts mv new boots " suiil lin to herself. "Why didn't I change them?" I'll stamp hard and than I shall be easy." Jiut somehow she was not oasv. Un one street, down another. It was not so much the pain in ono particular spot now as the general ache, not only in her foot, but in her whole body. "I'm afraid I'm growing tirud." She glanced at Joo. That worthy was in high spirits, aud apparently as fresh as ever. Elsio limped bravely on. Across an open spaco tho procession wheeled, and halted asain to drink lemonade out of big tubs on the sidewalk. Elsie ventured to complain to Joe. "Oh. cheer up!" was all tho comfort ho had for her. "We've marched 'most half the distance now." " Most half the distance!" Whv. iisie couiu never itont out it that tho hrsii. Ono mnro shn .tr.itn.1 n., tvoru It seemed as if she had been nmrehmir ior years an yoars ever since she was a baby. Sho could not drag horself another inch. In the midst of a cheer she crept up a flight tof steps, and sank down. "I'll wait a few minutes, aad then run fast, and catch Joe again," thought she. The next moniont. as it seemed, she hoard two voices near her. "The party must be hard up that has to take babies like this to help on their cause." said one. Poor little fellow!" answered the other a lady "He'slroppod down, torch and all, and gone to sleep." Elsie started and looked around her. V here was the procession? Whore was Joe.? Too terrified to say a word, up the street she. rushed, gazing wildly on this side and on that. No Joe did she see, no procession either. It wotnd lave been quite dark but for the street laranc "1 must stop somewhere. Imustask some ono for Joe." At a house smaller than the others she paused, and rang the bell. There was a contused sound of talking within. "Don't vou open that door as vou valec your life, Phmbe Maria," said some one, in shrill tones. "Us all alone! This time of night! It's tramp, sure!" Then Phmbe Maria called through tho keydiole, "Go right away. I sha'n't let you in if you stop there till midnight. De-part!" I think if the word "de-part" had not sounded so very ponderous, Elsie would have called back thatsho was no tramp. As it was, she ran blindly on. "Mother! mother!" she sobbed, wringing her little cold hands. But no ono answered. A clock near by tolled nine, ten, eleven. Two drops of rain fell. The wind rustled drearily among the tree-tops. Steps sounded near. A tall man approached, and Elsie caught the gleam of brass buttons. "What are you doing here, boy?" demanded the newcomer, in a great bass voico. "I'm not a boy," cried Elsie. "I never was a boy in all my life. I'm Elsie Daker. I want to go home." She quite broke down, and wept pitoously. "Hoity-toity!" exclaimed the man, who was one of the police. " Where is your homo?" "Out at Porter's Corner. Joe brought me to the percession. I wish ho hadn't. I wish Oh dear, dear me!" "Now hero's a pretty mess!" said the policeman. "Thorn's nothing for it but to take charge o' you to-night, and see how .we can manage to-morrow. You come along with me' Finding the child too exhausted to walk, ho picked her up and tramped off down in town with his burden. Where did he carry her? To tell the truth there seemed to be no other place, and he took hor to the public "lock-up." Elsie was too worn and spent to mind; too hungry was she not to devour eagerly the bit o'f salt fish and hard cracker which hor new friend gave her; then, forgetting her woes, sho fell asleep once mre. safely wrapped in his warm overcoat. But, in the morning, waking In a strange place, all the terror of last night oatne upon her once more. Through an open door sho darted like a startled hare, and when No. 11 came, an hour later, to find her, no child was visible. All that was left wai the small rubber cape with its red collar, "I must find some cars," thought Elsie. "I can't gut home unless I llinl some cars." it must have been her guardian ange who led the little girl, for, as she walked hut ily along, right iu front or hei loomed up a big building, in and outo. VihLh locomotive were running.

" But there," added h, as the brown eves tilled with tears, "a gravel train's fut seeing mc.on the city U the Kateru Depot. Come with 'we, aud I'll take you there." Down the track Elsie rod, perched on a heap of gravel. "I cal'late you've get a ticket for Porter's Comer?" said her eowpaakwt. Hero was fresh trouble. Ho ticket had she, and, what was worse, not a penny to buy one. "ou don't mean to say you're going to fed a ride!" exclaimed the man. Very likely this was meant for x joke, but Elsie took it for sober earaeet. She had been called a "tramp" last night; now she was taken for a thief. It was too dreadful. She looked here and there, If perchance there might be some way of escape from all this misery, and suddenly why! what? that boy on the platform of the Eastern Depot could it be? "Joo! Joe!" shrieked Elsie. It was Joe: a very wretched Joe. a Joo who had not slept a' wink all night. inougn no nan gone home in avaia hope he might hud the misetnsr sister there. He saw Elsie. He sprinir toward her. He clambered on the cat' almost before it stopped. He hugged her, he kissed her. Hoy though he was. he wept great tears over her. Then ho took her by both shoulders and shook her. "Oh, you bad girl! Where have voh been? You've frightened mother'most to death. Elsie, Elsie, come to Portland?' What "Mmdt.

Her mother never said a word. She only clasped Elsie tighter aad tighter, while the tears streamed down her chocks. But Joe! oh, Joe did talking enough for all. The lofty sentiments that flowed from the lips of that virtous i youth were truly refreshing. His own share in last night's adventures had quite slipped his mind. He felt called upon, as "the man of the family," to exhort his sister at length in regard to her manners and moraL. "And now, Elsie Baker," he ewded, "I hope you see why girls can't do as boys do.

TllK heart of a tish is a simple chain of' chambers, instead of the complex mmuriiocuiar organ wiuch circHMtes i the blood of a quadnied; yet it jKr- j forms tho same office, and ierforiH8 it j sufficiently well for the fish's eeds. . In the same way, the organ of heariag of j a fish is simple' but it contains all that I is absolutely essential for hearing, viz., 1 an auditory sacculus, full of finkl. aad containing small bones, or "obolitks" (usually two in number, xnd comparatively large), and three large semi-circular canals. All vertebrates above fishes have oboliths and three semi-circular canals, but higher animals add thereto a spiral cochlea, a tympanum with its chain of bones to communicate vibrations, and an external ear. Any argument against the ability of a nsh to hear, based on the simplicity of the organ of hearing, might equally weH be j used to prove that a iish cannot breathe, swim nor digest, because the organs it . possesses for these iHirioses are simirfer ' than ours, or are built on a slightly j uiflerent plan, btire ot the presence Of an organ of hearing, sure also of certain sfiecial adaptations of that organ m some groups oi nines, we may be certain that such concluskms as . those commented on are not due to the ' fish's want of hearing so much as man's inability to reason correctly from insufficient premises. The microphone j has gone far toward proving what phi- ! losopher.3 had previously lecom eonvinccd of by deductive reasoning, that uiLiviuiu iimvcruuiiu a jr v-nswa jmh beriess instances not evident to our semes. For our eroeptio of sound we are dependent upon our sese of hearing, which is adapted only to a certain ranee of sounds; and thk range differs in human individuals, for we all 1 know that .onie other ersons hear j sounds that arc imeroeptihte k as, j Still more is this, true of other animal; they may hear what we cannot, yet he deaf to sounds audible to us. Strict experiments upon the hearing of Ushes have yet to be made. Most of the observations yet made are faulty, either because, first, the observer has supposed tlmt the fbh ought, if it can hear, to notice the sound be makes for the fiurpose; or, second, he has argaed. rom the standpoint of his own Keapes. that if a fish hears, the range of its hear ing must he nearly the same as hie own. m in n. i m .
