MORAL NATURES BEST REACHED ON

VJ-

THE PHYSICAL SIDE.

People Who Dig Thetr Own Grave*—EvQe That Follow In the Train of Living la Cities—Oxone of the Country Air—Th«

Beqalmneiiti of Children.

The city is, as every one knows, a poor place to bring up children in. Men and woman, with bodies matured and properly hardened, can endure its bad air, the confinement within doors and the constant excitement and drive—though even they require occasionally to be transplanted to more wholesome conditions for recuperation. In the case of young and growing frames, the sanitary drawbacks, of coarse, tell more disastrously. For the sake of their physical health, city children can hardly see too much of country life. The minds of city children are undoubtedly more stimulated than are those of children dwelling in the country. City children oro much more precocious. But this is by no means an advantage often it constitutes the gravest injury. City life does not sufficiently allow the energy to be employed in building up, first, a thoroughly developed and vigorons body, which may throughout the remainder of existence supply the necessary physical basis for the possearton and exercise of the brain powers, ready to be most used when the exigencies of life demand them most. It, on the other hand, by too early exciting the intellectual faculties to activity, often interferes with the moral growth of the organism, leaving it, at the time when it should boat the height of its complex force, fully developed neither in body nor mind, and already undermined by premature decay.

Any advantage, due to precocity, the city child may poaiess at 15, will be apt to have wholly disappeared, and to be in process of being atoned for, ot 40. But the moral influences to which the city child is subjected are the worst. He sees too much of the feverish, shrewd and unprincipled life that is going cm about him, even in the very sreets and public places. With the utmost care, II is impossible to keep this wholly out of knowledge. We can merely refer here to the sights and sounds that are rife in a city •treat but every parent, who is striving to properly briug up a boy or girl even in a large town, will have felt the difficulty* The country is, undoubtedly, the best place for children to be raised In. When, with bodies matured, reason developed and principles fixed.

they require a larger field for their

energy and powers, then is time enough for "them to seek the city. Brick walls, like bonnets and high hats, go best with mature hca rin

OKXBftOCS SUCKS OF S7ACS. Life in the country, where the population is sparse, and individual is separated from individual by generous slices of space, is longer, more secure, and, therefore, of course, xaore healthful, than life in the city, where the opposite condition of affairs exists. More extended observation would, no doubt, simply show the law to be universal. Induction, then, may be said to reveal these facts. There must, of course, be some reason or «MIN behind it What is that? Why is it that country life is more salubrious than city life? A number of causes conspire to mako St so but, were it asked to point out the main and leading causes, we should at once aay air, and that is the only one we shall conaider here. Air in the country is pure and conducive to health and longevity that in cities and towns is more or less Impure and productive of ailment and fewness of years.

Professor Tyndall, in his studies with the microscope, laid bare the fact that the air of cities is loaded with fine organic and mineral particles—exhalations from liviug beings, bunion and animal, dust, smoke, and in finitessimal bits of every conceivable material. The larger and more crowded the city the nore is this the oasa. The horse cars, omnibuses and heavy teams grind the street dust so small it easily floats in the atmosphere, where it mingles with dust and gases from «v«ry industry, fine fragments of food, atoms of refuse, manure, germs contributed by decomposing animal and vegetable matter, etc. The very clothing of the people gives off into the air microscopic bits of cotton, linen, fur, wool, velvet, eta Smoky air, and air thus charged with extraneous sulwtances, is not only, in every sense, unhealthy, but it mechanically irritates the sensitive mucous membrane of tlio'mouth and lungs, causing dryness, tickling, hoarseneas and congestion, from which arise thirst and fevenshneas, and to banish these improper diet and strong leverage* are rreorted ta Drunkenness is more prevalent with the poor of cities than among the corresponding class in the country.

A LACK or OSORB.

From these inductive facts it is evident that the atmosphere of cities is, in the fint place, too highly charged with foreign malarial to be in the highest degree conducive to health. In the second place, osoue, which is oxygen gas in a peculiar state of concentration, and the most vitalising element next to food (or, rather, equally vitalising with food) which nature seems to have provided (more Mtimulathig even than oxygen itself), while it abounds in country air, exists by comparison but rarely in the air of cities and towns. This latter, Instead, contains an excesB of oarbooio add gas, which, as all know, when poro Ua deadly poison. Prom living in such

THE GOSPEL OF RECREATION. the

Too Much "Push" and "Co"—From American Point of View. If ever people needed to have preached to them a gospel of recreation, the Americans need it now. We work too hard, and too fast, and with too much friction, and, above all, too constantly. We aro proud of our speed. We believe in "push" and "go." We are careless of the fact that haste makes waste because we have plenty to waste. We do not understand nor practice nor care anything about economy, because wo have not felt, as most peoples have, the need of economy. Our business man hurries from his homo in the morning on the fastest train be can get, reads the newspaper all the way to his office, and grumbles at a delay of two minutes. He rushes through his business at a break neck rate, snatches a lunch at midday, dictates letters to his typewriter, leaves himself just time enough to catch his train, and rushes home at the same pace. Onco there, be enjoys himself by taking a ride behind the fastest horse he can afford to own. After dinner ho plays a game of whist, or, as that is generally too slow for him, of poker, until after what ought to be his bedtime. If he lives in the dty his evenings aro spent at the club or the theatre, or in the hotel corridors talking business. Rest he has none, unless perhaps on Sunday, when bo spends most of the morning looking through the papers, and most of the afternoon dozing, or perhaps taking another ride behind his trotters. Americans do everything fast, especially in New York. They take their drinks standing, and at a gulp. They eat ono meal a day in about the same fashion. They walk fast, talk fast, mako and lose money fast, ride fast, sail fast, eat fast, drink fast, and if away could be discovered of sleeping fast they would do that.

After ono gets into it there is a swing and a movement in all this that is fascinating. It is contagious, and we all catch it. There is the same sort of pleasure in doing business fast that there is in driving a fast horse or sailing a fast boat. That is one reason why New York is the roost fascinating of Ameriican citiea. After its "go," others seem a little tame. Ono becomes used to excitement, and wants to keep strung up to concert pitch all tbo time. Beyond doubt, too, there is something good and admirable in this rapidity. It enables us to accomplish marvels. Wo havo come nearer than any other people to annihilating time and space.

But, after all, when one thinks it over calmly—if perchance he can ever find time to think calmly—is this hurry worth our while) Or, to put it from the American point of view, does it pay? The answer to that question depends upon the goal we have in view. Most men are making all this haste in order to get rich but when they get rich do they "take things easy," and enjoy llfef Possibly a few of them may, but the vast majority do not When they get an income of $10,000 they want $20,000 when they have got that they want $40,000. Not one in a million of us ever gets rich enough, and the few who do leave off business generally find that they have lost, from disuse, whatever faculty of enjoyment they once had, aside from the hurry and push of the business world. The capacity for enjoyment has to be cultivated, like any other capacity and it will not grow exaept by oonstant use.—The Epoch.

Car Seats Turned for Ladies. "Cant you turn over this seat formef asked a man who was traveling with his little boy on a train going out of New York on ono of the trunk line roads the other day. The question was addressed to a brakeman. who seemed endowed with good nature above the average'of his class. Thas he was in a cheerful frame of mind was shown by the ploasant smilo that illumined his countenance as ho answered: "Sorry, sir, but I cant do it without ths conductor's permission."

On tho conductor's next trip through the car tho same question was put to him. 'No," bo replied "it's against the rules to turn over a seat for a gentleman. If you had a lady with you it would be all right" "Cant you do it for a little boyf" queried the passenger, pointing to his traveling companion. 'No, that wouldnt da" 'How long has that been the rulet"was tho next question. 'About six weeks." 'What mado the company mako such a ruloP 'Because the men would put their feet on tho scats. Thcro were ten coaches spoiled that badnt been out of the shops more than two months. There were big black spots of groaso and shoo blacking on tike cushions, and, of course, they had to be fixed over again. The company couldnt stand that sort of thing, and they dedded to shut down on the whole business. I've no doubt you would treat the seat all right, but we have to enforce the rule against ail alike. Ladies can still have the seats turned over, for they aro not apt to stretch out their feet and sprawl all over tbo seats. I don't know whether other companies have made the same rule or not, but I should think they would have to do so if their experience has been the same as oars."—New York Trifcana.

Only Kiss Worth Having.

The only kiss worth bating is that of a nice baby, and if the baby doesn't give it, it only submits to it, and kaops its sweet, dainty, perfumy little month, shaped like an 0, as it waits for yon to discover just bow delightful it is. Men's Idssss are like 8ootcb whisky they're apt to be smoky. Children's kisses aro inclined to cover one's entire face but a baby simply exists and Wis yon take a mouthful of tbo breath of Araby. Menhava an idea that their kisses art appreciated— they are most immensely mtetsken. The average man gives a kiss Just as be throws a baseball—with too mnch foroa. It ought to be as delicate as a rosekiaf. *y in a second. It need no* suggest a portage stamp nor a porous plaster. Dolly, 1 •Mwir could write a book on kissing: bat
